On lust Thursday, the 30th of September The Annual Reunion of Orr's Rifles took phiee here. A preliminary meeting of the survivors ' was held on Wednesday evening in the ! Courtroom. On Wednesday night all the ' old soldiers gathered together in Rosen- ' ' bergs Hall where they were entertained at I a smoker. Here songs were suns: and punch was served. All who attended the 1 smoker enjoyed it to the fullest. ^ . The meeting proper was held in the Opera House on Thursday at 11 o'clock.

Mrs. J Bleckley is an honorary member of Orr's i Rifles. She responded in kind to Senator Graydons kindlv greetings , The memorial exercise on account of the death of the former President, Gen.

Here followed the speech of the dav, bv ? " T *" " UJH i?iajor <j. u. xiuuipiun vi w?c i News and Courier. Major Hemphill does not do things like other people. He has an individuality. Nowhere does it show J up more plainly than when the Mayor ( goes speech making. He seemed to have a double purpose in view, to entertain and at the same time to instruct. In his speech _ were woven in little bits of unwritten his- g tory, expressions of great men on the sob- j" iect in hand, facts gathered from his wide v; knowledge of men aud affairs as they t touch on the war of 01 to 65, all blended (i in his inimitable style into a most pleas- t ing as well as instructive talk that has been- made on the subject in many days, t Abbeville extended an invitation to the t veterans to meet here again next year but . they declined and accepted an invitation from Belton and will meet there next year. Mr. J. W. Guiton of Anderson was elected President for the ensuing year. The Daughters of the Confederacy looked closely after the veterans while they were here and showed them every courtesy and attention. On Thursday ii after the meeting The Daughters enter- c tained the veterans at luncheon at Rosen- t bergs Hall. t The following is a list of the survivors p , of Orr's regiment present : r W. T.

Aftera long siege of musical and farce ( comedies, melodramas and roblem plays, t the theatre-going public seems to invite a return of the never dying Shakesperean j drama in a more welcome manner than has ? been demonstrated for many years. For t the first time in more then a decade, Paris <. has arranged for a seiies of Shakesperean f performances that will extend through the ; entire theatrical season. Viena, the home j of the classic drama, has announced a number of very elaborate productions of ( Shakesperean plays. New York will see two of its favorite modern actresses, Maude Adams and .Blanche Bates, in magnificent productions - of Twelfth Night, while Julia Marlowe with E. H. Sothern will present a repertoire of Shakesper?an plays for the next three years. The trend of the public taste for the lighter and more frivolous form of amusement for the past few years, has reduced the ranks of legitimate stars to almost a minimum. And with the exception of Julia Marlowe, May Stewart, who will appear at Opera House Friday night, October 8th, in an elaborate production of Komeo and Juliet, is the only woman who has met with sufficient success to warrant her in confining her efforts exclusively to Shakespeare.

At the?et of the sun, When our life work is done, ?ith all its tangled web, When the clouds drift low, And the streams run slow, .nd life is at its ebb; As we neai the goal When the golden bowl half be broken at its fount; With what sweetest though Shall the hour be fraught, Phat precious most shall we count? Not the flame of the sword, Nor the werlth w6 have stored n perishable things of the earthNot the way we have trod With the intellect broad, 'ho that were of precious worth; Nor the gain we achieved, Thru the hearts we have,grived, .nd left unhelped by the way; Nor the laurel of fame, When for worldly acclaim . ^re toiled in the heat, and the frry. Ab, no, 'tis not these That will give our hearts ease Phen life sinks low in the west; But the passing sweet thhusrh Of the good we have wrought, 'he saddened lives we have blest, And the love we have won, And the love beckoning on, 'rom his island far and dim; Love out of the light, Shinning into the night, 'he night which leadeth to Him. "Salomy Jane." % x Messrs. A. G. Delamater and William [orris will prssent that famous Western Dmance of the days of early California baracter and incident, "Salomy Jane" at .bbeville soon. Now in its third year, tiis extraordinary play has been everywhere classed as the positive triumph of s class, which includes the consensus of pinion which it was accorded during the otable run of one solid year at the Liberty 'heatre, New York. "Salomy Jane" is the laster effort in the brilliant career of Mr. 'aul Armstrong, whose splendidly contracted dramatizatiou of Bret Harte's oetic, as well as pictorial story of early lalifornia days has taken the exalted posi[on of being the most human and conincing play founded on scenes and inoients of the West of the past or present, teyond basing this play from Bret Harle's cenee and characters of "Salomy Janes liss", he has also interwoven other famous Western romances, making it a happy lend of all of his widely read and lasting ooks that still command the attention of he literary public of the world. The cenic production and general equipment or this season's tour is massive and stun ndous, while the cast, the best it has yet ad, is headed by Miss Louise Coleman, a onng artist who will no donbtprovea urprise in this city. AS TO METHUSELAH'S AGE. Critic Cuts His 969 Aears Down to 78 3-4, "Mathuselah loses his famous record for is 969 reputed years are whittled down to 3 3-4." Thus says the Jewish World'in discussion of Jewish characteristics. There has always existed a certain mount of doubt even among believers in :e literal truth of the Bible concerning le great age to which the Jewish patrirchs are recorded as having lived. Some f the theories evolved to reduce the Bibliil records of this kind to something near ie alloted span of man are dealt with in le article. It is surmised, the Jewish World says, latin the earliest times the month,the ariod of a moon cycle, was called a year, hus Adam's 930 years of life, calculating year at,29 1-2 days, the length of a lunar lonth, works out to 75 1-4 years. After le month year there came a five month ear, the limit of five being derived from le fingers on one hand, it being rememjred that primitive people always used le fingers for counting purposes. Then ime tneitwelve month year. Excuse for this rearrangement is found the Psalmist's limit of life of three score id ten vears. and it is maintained that stween the times of Noah andj David no ich extraordinary change could have tak1 place as to reduce the life of man by even-twelfths. On the five month year isis, Abraham's 175 years work out at and Isaac's 180 at 74. Perhaps, too, there intervened a six onth year, discovered by Jacob while atching Laban's flocks. Thus Jacob's 7 years work out at about 73. The twelve month year began with the gyptians, who saw that a complete perd was made up of the two"years," in one which the days were longer than the ghts and In the other the nights longer ian the days. The Christian and Jewish years, conudes the Jewish World, will not forever ? separated, "f - r" it says, "in due course , osh Hashona will fall at Christmas time id the catch up then Christian year. : lis, however, will not happen for 30,000 >ars, and no doubt that is the reason < hy nobody worries about it." j I Frightful Fate Averted.
