WW 5- if I OF THE STATE Two Prominent Gentlemen .of South Carolina Pleased AVitli What They Have Already Found Out About This Part of Jt Two prominent citizens of South Carolina are. interested visitors of the city and having spent ten days here they have formed an impression tf l'hoenix and the vailed that is entirely favorable. One of them is li. ML. F.ethea, a wealthy farmer of Latta, Dillon county, one of the richest in the state. The other is lion. James 'Norton, of Mullins, now a farmer but a former politician and official. He was for ten years comp troller general of the state and after fiat, served his district, the Sixth, in the house of representatives of tiie fifty-fifth and fifty-sixth con gresses. He was also a member of the state general assembly. It js a waste (if words to remark that Mr. Norton is a democrat. Mr. Bcthea and Mr. Norton came here to visit the son of Mr. Bethea, ,T. Stephen Bethea, of l;r.6 West Jackson street, whose wife is a daughter of Mr. .Norton. The young er Mr. licthoa and wife have been residents of the citv during the winter. ) The visitors are deeply interested in the agricultural features of the j valley and especially the cultivation of Egyptian cotton. They come j from a short staple cotton region though Seal Island cotton is raised extensively along the coast. Their ideas of Egyptian cotton are entire ly revised and they have come to the conclusion that there must be Egyptian cotton .and Egyptian cotton. The only kind of Egyptian cotton they knew anything about was an inferior kind imported into South Carolina to reduce the grade of the local cotton in the course of prep aration for the market, being mixed with the short staple by machinery. Ir could not be, they believed, any thing like the cotton for which the. farmers of this valley have received eighteen and twenty cents a pound. Both gentlemen are gathering all the information possible regarding social, industrial and political condi tions in the state. When they were j asked whether it was not possible I that they would come here to live, ! they said that it was within the jrrnge of possibility, j Mr. Norton has been gathering the I sentiment along the border with tl I speet to the country's Mexican policy. He expressed no view of his own Arizona Mercantile Co. Center a; Aiams Sts. ' for he is a newspaper man as well as a farmer. He is: tho owner of the Mullins Messenger. .1 he only slant given at his views.; was in the re mark that among those who Were desirous of rushi ng headlong into war he diil not believe there were many old soldiers : Mr. Norton hud seen something c f war. He served through the war pf the rebellion un til his capture ntf Petersburg, Va. Though both arje democrats Messrs. Bethea and Nor ton are on opposite sides of the democratic fence in the senatorial light ; in that state. Mr. i Bethea is a sstipporter of Senator Smith, who is fa candidates tor re election. Mr. 'f.'orton, while not an opponent of Hrenator Smith, is in clined toward 'Ciovernor -Cole Blease. There is, sak'l Mr. Norton, a gener al misunderst? nding throughout the country as to the effect of the late primaries in (South Carolina. Though the vote wt is apparently against .Blease it liy no means prejudiced his chances. The election was only convention! primary. The question of the nomination must yet go rectly hel'oijr the people with probability, : in the opinion of Norton, in favor of Blease. .li the Mr. fool Blease, lie said, is not the that he is , supposed to be. On the contrary, lie is an adept politician amd knows all the time what he is about. He was a skilful laywer and followed that profession until he caine into public notice on the Till-mu-i reform wave, twenty years ago. He . owes , his position in the senti ment of South Carolinians to his frequent appeals to the people and to the -haracter of the elements' which are attacking; him. For anntng thv entmios of Blease are those wh.se. political methods of an earlier generation are still hateful to the ,'jeople. WATCH FUR THE NEW CHASE TRUCKS.

The cl sing numher, the Amer ican Hornpipe, displays a great num her steps and v.'a.s enthusiastically re- ceivedr - The le I'nppillow s w ho intrndta-e the latest ballroom dances, are splendid exempliliiatioi-,s of the poetry of mo tion. They open their act with the Maxixe and introduce a number of graceful intricate steps that are essen tially original. This is followed by the Tang i. They do the Tango with a snap and withall a grace that is far re moved from the usual romp that some dignify by the name of dancing. Their Hesitation Wail;: is most beautifully executed and the big feature of the act. the Paveiowa navettee, in costume, compelled them to respond to repeated encores. Jane O'ltoark-riroderick - o p-.irrell and company in their Orpheum success "Jealousy" have a beautiful little play let that show.s an incident in the life of a young society woman. Miss OTtoark has a part that permits the display of stunning gowns and a back that w mid make Kitty Cordon turn green with envy. She is a magnetic actress but unfortunately this sketch gives her little opportunity for the dis play of hitdronie ability. Hroderick H'Karrell is tiie same dashing romantic actor as of old, his splendid personality and delicate shading of comedy, when ever the lines permit, dispell the im pression that his good looks creates, that he is In the Matinee id.d class. ''. Lester Paul is a Stirling actor who in terprets his lines with force and con vincing realism. F.y his clever work in "Jealousy" he adds no little to the skit. FJiele and (iirard. the Yankee and the Swede, in a sidewalk conversation act, have a vehicle that lifts them immedi ately into the good graces of the au dtariec. Biele is n remarkable good "straight" man with an operatic tenor voice; The couple of numbers that he sings' is a revelation. It is seldom that one of the members of a strong com edy team fs gifted with a voice of such real merit. It goes without saying that Biele is a high class artist and is ably supported bv (Iirard the comedian of the team, flirard is unusually clever and his impersonation of a Swede faithl'ull ti the life. His parodies get over, all the time, and he leaves the au dience wanting more. They close their act with a musical number accompany ing themselves in the mandolin and guitar. A versatile act that semis the audience home tickled to death. Tbe Animated Weekly and two other I eels of fine first run comedy pictures make up the strongest and best vaude ville show ever seen here. Coliseum The four acts appearing at the above house this week presents an attrac fiveness seldom seen in one bill. The Kelliors, offer a novelty sketch, the larger part of w hich is devoted to some very clever acrobatic work. Bess Brooks continues to charm with her very pleasing voice and the numbers which she introduces never fail to hit the mark. Farley and Preseott are funny and get over n great many laughs. The Scotch dialect work is com mendable. Thomas and Ward, The Coon a.nd The Soubrette, offer atj act :ter Prove this claim for yourself.

The musical numbers are ail well handled and each possess excellent voices they ;iro able to entertain in a way which earns the applause. The Avenue "The Strength of Family Ties" with drmi Haw ley playing the lead is cer tainly one of the finest society dramas ever shown in this city. Miss Hawley is at her best in such a character, as is N'edra. the cabaret entertainer. "N'edra, the ad opted daughter of a wealthy woman is wooed by the wid ows son, but when told of her irregu larity of birth, renounces her lover and sets out to wreck the life of her father who has become a wealthy real estate broker. To do this, .she becomes a cabaret singer and thus ensnares the adopted son of her father. When she has nearly accomplished his ruin, she learns that there is no iregularity in her birth, and everything; is made right. "I'athr's Weekly, as always sets 1he standard of topical events, while "A Hot Time in Snakeville" furnishes much of comedy. The Stronger Hand at Lion Tiie Majestic production of the "Stronger Hand" at the Lion today, is a story that is totally different from the usual run. It is a story of the trusts against the .small factory, in which a love affair, a crooked broker and a trust lagnate play prominent parts. "A Story of Little Italy" pro duced by the American company adds to the bill. The photography is excel lent and T ny although a simple Ital ian, creates ;i likeable film. The com edy is another Keystone and it's the Keystone comedies that bring a laugh. This one is called "Kid Love" and was made to amuse, which It surely does. .Mutual Mov ies and the cool-clean-com-fortable house continue to draw the crowds at the Lion.' "Hotel Twirley Whirley" The new show ' Twirley Whirley" at the Empress pist night bv the Harry Bernard company, was witnessed by a good house iast night and if laughter and applause are evidence of the ap proval of the hill then it was a big suc cess. Bernard and R ,ve in the leading comedy roles were well received and the singing of "llarum" by Harry Ber nard was one of the hits of the night. The champagne Dance by Misses Ger rard and Winton was a unique novelty and called forth encores. The girls had some splendid numbers last night es pecially the number lead by Eddie Young which was a big winner. This hill will run up to Sunday night and no doubt w ill prove a big magnet.

"The -Croat Towel Robbery" couldn't have been made funnier if the Powers company had taken a lifetime to produce it. Al together it is a most excellent bill. Th Girl From Prosperity Tho Vitagraph company leads tile bill at the Lamara today with the splendid picture, "The Cirl I'rom Pros ' perity". The story is a splendid one in that it tells a powerful story of a young jman, attracted by the bright lights, who leaves his home in a country town and jwhon away goes the pace, giving the girl 'he left behind" the cold shoulder. However, a manicure girl preaches to ihim and a small jolt of misfortune ! brings him to his senses.

Owing to the fact that the picture depends up on Tucson for its local color, which is but a stone's throw from our door step, it should find more than passing favor in the estimation of those who are interested not only in moviesbut in Arizona.
