14-YEAR OLd’bOY KILLED
HIS FATHER; SYLVANIA
Sylvania, Ga. —Albert Leeks, color
ed, was shot and killed by one of his
sons at his home near Sylvania, yes
terday.
Leeks was rather a stern pnrent,
who had been making his boys behave
themselves and work hard. This did
not altogether suit them, so while the
father was washing his face and
hands , before dinner, one of his sons,
a boy of 14 years, got a single, barrel
shotgun, and shot him from behind,
blowing off the back of his head.
The three boys, ages 12, 14 and 16,
were lodged In jail this morning. The
14-year-old boy who did the shooting
says that he did it because his older
brother told him to do it.
AUTO OWNERS TO CO
OPERATE IN ANDERSON
Anderson, S. C. —Chief of Police
Sammons asks the automobile owners
and drivers to co-operate with him
and his men in relieving the traffic
congestion on North Main Street.
Because of the large interurban train
stopping on Main Street, traffic is
some times retarded. The parking of
automobiles on the east side of Main
Street in front of Clayton’s drug store,
the Brown Building, etc., adds to the
congestion and the chief asks the
owners of these machines to please
park their cars over on the west side
of Main Street, where there is more
room. He will appreciate the co-ope
ration of the people.
The drive-to-the-right ordinance is
being compiled with nicely, and it is
giving great relief. The policemen
are doing what they can to keep down
violations of the speeding ordinances
and the using cut out ordinances. The
people generally appreciate the work
of the members of the force.
The first violation since the mini
mum fine ordinance was passed fixing
thinfmum tines for offenses of carry
ing weapons was aired in the record
er’s court. A white man from Wil
liamston was fined $5 for being drunk
and SSO for carrying a pistol. Such
fines like this will go a long way in
breaking up the practice of carrying
pistols. __

deeply gashed, the right arm crushed

was discovered by a train crew Sun

ment at the Grand on Friday even

those music-lovers who may recall the

been shown in keeping the organiza
tion Intact. The cast remains the
same as that which was seen last
season. The production is Identical,
save for an entire equipment of new

are among the few that have arrived.
It is said that "Adele” will bring with
her enough new Paris creations, fresh
from the designs of Paul Polret, to
make in Itself a fashion show for the
styles of the coming season.
In the cast will be seen those play
ers who made themselves favorites
with the local audience by their ex
cellent work when last seen here in
“Adele.” Miss Carolyn Thomson will
be seen once more in her delightful
rendition of the role of Adele. Mr.
John Park will be re-welcomed as
the Baron; Stephen W. Htott will be
seen in the part of Robert; Mae
Phelps will appear as Myrianne; Mr.
Felix Haney as I'armaceau, and
Messrs. Jules Epallly and Ralph Nairn
will both re-apear In the parts In
which they were seen here. Bottle
Vincent will again play Babiole,

Jean Mann, George L. Willson, Muhle
Hllover, T>ena Vogt, W. ,1. Reynolds,
Sydney Itavls, Itee Hughes, Edna

“LITTLE BOY BLUE.”
The fame of the book, lyrics and
wonderfully fascinating music of the.
famous Viennese musical comedy,
“Little Boy Blue,” have somewhat
dwarfed the renown due to one of the
most important features in its Success
that of its gigantic and complete in
vestiture. It is mammoth in design
and will be one of the most expensive
productions ever placed on the local
stage. The first act shows the well
known Bal Tabarin of Paris. This
alone is a car-full and will be brought
here Intact. At great as as the
Maxim scene in “The Merry Widow,”
the same producer surpassed him
self with Bal Tabarin. In the former
instance the original institution had
been closed and dismantled. He drew
only from the memory of its beauty;
but with the Bal Tabarin he was able
to reproduce the most gorgeous place
for public amusement and naughti
ness afforded by the Queen City of the
Night. It is now the laughter shrine
Of '’"-one
“Little Boy Blue” will play a return
engagement at the Grand early next
month.
