“THE MYSTERY OF THE BOULE CABINET,” The Herald's new serial story starts in TODAY’S issue. Full of
Thrills. In fact a literary miner would say of “The Boule Cabinet” that “it pans out a big percentage of thrills.” The hand
of fate deals strange cards in a game in which the poison of the Medici and the seventeenth century cabinet of Mme. de
Montespan play a tragic part in twentieth century New York. Watch for the Opening Chapters in next TODAY’S Herald.

Vaughn, driver of,an auto livery car,
discovered lying on the side of the
road just outside of the city limits, a
young white man thoroughly intoxi

managed to get th« man into the car
and proceeded to tpwn with the idea
of finding him a more comfortable

of an officer was attracted and a case
made. It developed later that
young man wa3 a brother of C. F.

who had endeavored earlier in the af

on account of his.condition had left
him at the point where he was later
found by Vaughn, intending to return
for him later. Seeking to do an act
of kindness the auto driver unwitting
ly brought his man right into the
hands of the police.

M Dandv Dick,” a Race Track
Comedy Drama, Will Be Pre
sented on Thursday, the 19th
Leading Roles Taken by Mr.
Victor and Miss Lalage Dar
win—Play Has Scored Big
Hits.
The play that’* different is what
the Thalians, the dramatic club of
the University, will give to the Ath
ens public when they present “Dandy
Dick” at the Colonial theater on the
19th of this month. “Dandy Dick” is
an English play, a farce comedy,
which made a tremendous hit in both
England and Australia. The story is
of the race track and deals with a
dignified minister, a dean, who be
comes so interested in following the
ponies that he finally gets his consent
to bet on the races, and winds up by
being jailed for doping up one of the
horses. The play is replete with the
race track atmosphere and literally
charged with amusing incidents and
unique characters.
The play took well in America
where it was produced by Daley with
Aida Rehan in the leading role, the
part which will be taken by Miss
Lalage Darwin here. In Australia,
G. W. Anson was featured in the mas
culine role of the dean, and made his
reputation in this play. Mr. Victor
Victor will appear in this role here.
The members of the Thalians have
been working hard for some time
past under the careful supervision of
their directress, Miss Carolyn Cobb,
and from now until the date of the
performance expect to spend the
time in perfecting the minor details
of the presentation. The best talent
in the University and much of the
best in the city will vie with one ar.
other in making this performance go
down in Thalian history. The comedy
is being'eagerly awaited by the thea
ter-going public.
The cast of characters in the order
of their appearance is as follows:
Sheba .Miss Lydia Griffeth
Salome Miss Gertrude Bernstein
Blore Mr. Cubbedge
Major Tarver Mr. Jacobson
Mister Darbey Mr. Watson

BILL IS
Arnold ti Abney.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C., February 10.—
The administration trade commission
bill was assailed as unfair and uncon-
stitutional before the house commerce
committee today. James E. Benneit,
representing a score of small corpor
ations, said inquisitorial powers given
the commission by the bill will be
worse than “anything in Russia ” He
said it would ruin the small corpora
tions by opening their secreis to larg
er competitors. He also declared it
would provide berths for many special
investigators whose only qualification
will be a “political purl.” This, he
( declared, would open the
graft of the century.”
TILLMAN HAG MADE
UP WITH M'LAURIN
These Tyro Old Enemies Had Not
Spoken In Thirteen
Years.
Columbia, S. C., February 10.—
United States Senator B. R. Tillman
and State Senator John L. McLaurin
met and shook hands here Saturday
for the first time since they fought
on the floor of the United States sen
ate thirteen years ago, when they were
occupying the seats of South Carolina
in that chamber. Senator Tillman
and his former lieutenant were cor
dial in their meeting Saturday and
chatted as if they enjoyed the reunion.
Politics were not mentioned in the few
minutes they were together.
The ending of the feud between
these two men, who have long been
prominent in this state, will recall to
many of the older voters the early
days of the Tillman movement, when
the rugged Edgefield farmer was as
sisted by John L. McLaurin, John
Gary Evans and the other lieutenants
of the reform movement which con
tained some of the brainiest men of
South Carolina. Capt. Tillman went
into the governor’s chair, and from
there to the United States senate. Mr.
McLaurin served in the legislature,
then as attorney general, went to
congress and succeeded Joseph II.
Earle in the United States senate, be
coming the colleague of his political
leader, B. R. Tillman.
But the bond between the two wa»
strained, and finally was entirely sev
ered when Senator McLaurin follow
ed what was called “Commercial De
mocracy” and voted for the ratifica
tion of the treaty of peace with
Spain. How the two former friends
finally clinched on the floor of the
United States senate, thus becoming
a national episode is recalled in South
Carolina.
