The Orangebnrg Amateur Theatrical Com? pany is negotiating for a date at the Acade? my of Music to produce the war time play, "1861-65," which was recently played at Oraogeburg with great success Tbe success of the Manning Hosiery Mill bas set a great many of the business men of Snmter to thinking, lt is to be boped that their deliberatioos on the industrial needs of ?

Tbere js a great deal o," complaint that tbe rates charged by the Electric Light Company have been raised until the superiority of the electric lights over kerosene lamps does not pay for the greater cost. Tbe Electtic Light Co , has cot increased tte r?""Scharged for lights in stores and residences, but has equalized the rates as, pro? vided in the regular schedule of rates. Heretofore special rates bad been made to various parties, and now all persons using . tbe same number of lights pay the same rate. This is what produced the kick. The People's Ice Co. has closed a contract for a complete plant, and the factory will be io operation on or before the first of May.

Tbe company bas already re? ceived inquiries from ice dealers in several places in reference to supplying them with ice during the coming season. There is no doubt about tbe new factory disposing of ita entire output at a fair profit. In the production of "Captain Dick" last evening Col. Stafford wore the gold epaulets which Gov.

Manning presented him tbe geld epanlete3 which be wore duricg bis incumbency of the office. It is worthy of note that Col. Stafford, the cbaracer io "Capt. Dick" wa3 a Colonel in the U. S. Army rn tbe Mexican War, and that the epau? lets be wore last evening were owred originally by a Colonel ia the Mexican Wir. The Sumter Electric Light Company has changed bands or will within a short time Negotiations for a-controlling interest have been under way for more than a week and have nearly reached a successful conclusion.

Wherever possible improve? ments will be made and the electric li?ht ser? vice in Sumter will be kept where it bas been for a long time-the nest in* the State. If there are other plans, they are kepping them in the back part of their beads at present and will not take the public into their confidence until the opportune time arrives.

The Stateburg road between the city limita and Shot Pouch branch is being improved in a substantial manner by the chain gang. ,The road bas been ditched, graded and a sufficient quantity of clay put on it to give a bard roadway where formerly there was a heavy sand bed. The chain gang bas within the past year accomplished a great deal of work and the extent of the improvement wrought on the roads wherever the gang has spent anytime is more apparent as time pass? es. The chain gang is far ahead of the pen? itentiary 8s a means of disposing of the con? victs, for the chain gang dees not come into competition with free labor in any way, aad Ibe work done by the chain gang will be of present and future benefit to the pubiic at large.

He bas bad the additional satisfaction of knowi?g that be has cheated a machine out of sundry copper cetus He ?3 a bright youth, and will make his mark in the world, if be continues as be has begun. , All he bas to do is to keep everlastingly at it, and by gradually enlarging and extending his oper? ations, his success will be assured and he will have his name koowo far beyond the small circle that now admires him for bis smartness and enterprise. His mark will be made, and he will be a successful counterfeiter, a swin? dler, and a rascal generally. He will have to be very smart, very foxy indeed, to keep clear of Sing Sing, a place where the govern? ment entertains those enterprising citizens who establish individual mints for the pur? pose of increasing the circulating medium.

''Captain Dick," by loeal talent, 'in the direction af the authors, wbich bas b looked forward to with such keen antici tions, scored a success last night befor crowded hoes*. There has seldom beet more appreciative and enthusiastic audie gathered in the Academy of Music than \ there last ever.ing. The appreciation tr-d enthusiasm v greatest at the last and was due entirely the merits of the play itself and the cle nod intelligent wort; of the ama'teur act and actresses, who both surprised aod i I'ghted the audience. The play was w staged, the costumes were handsome a historically correct and the ep?c scenery was superior 'o almost a scenery that has ever been placed on the sta of the Academy of Musice. Tbe play w almtst entirely devoid of amateurish stiffae and the scenes followed one after aootl with that ease of movement and naturel quence that takes the attention of the audit away from the stage business and concentra it on the bnman interest of toe play itself. There was abundant scope for individt specialties and thc manner io which the au {eur artis's made the most of their opportu ties kept the audience amused throughout t evening. If a comparison were to be draw a rxajority of the professional theatrical co pintes that visit this city would euffer the by, for tbe work of the amature and t entire production of Captain Dick was i measurably superior to the average compa th * . isits Sumter. .. jSrs. Bertram, Willard and Smithdi have scored a triumph, for it was their ski ful management th >t made last night's st cess possible. "Captain Dick" wili be : peated this evening, and as it is again une the auspices and for the benefit of Monegh Hose Co. 2, it should receive a lineal pt rocage.

An Eminent Specialist. Dr A. W. Byers, an eye specialist of wk experience is in tbe city for a short sta: 1 He can be seen at the residence of Mr. C. I Stubbs on Main Strret, where he has tltte up?an office for the practice of his profeesio while in Suinter. Dr. Byers bas the highest endorsement from the leading physicians in South Cart lina ?nd other Southern States In ever town and city in this State that be bas visite the physicians have individually and collet tively endorsed bim and speak in the bigbe? terms of the success with wbiah he treated tb eyes cf their patients He has hundreds c letters from prominent business and crofes slonal men in this and other States wbos names have but to be mentioned to be imme diitely recognized a3 those of influential am well known citizens whose endoraem.-nt carry weight. Dr. Byers has recently visited Camden Abbeville, Winr-sboro and Georgetown am when be left those places the physicians am clergymen endorsed him and testified to tn remarkably successful results attending hi treatment of deep seated and apparently in curable eye troubles. Dr. Byers has made the eye a life Ion; study and has attended the lectures of tbi most eminent eye specialists in this country and Europe. He b*s occupied a chair in thi Po it Graduate School of Medicine of Indian apolis, Ind., for several years, and is now ir the South primarily for the benefit of hi? health. He has the most complete equipmem of instruments and apparatus fer the deter? mination of visual defects and optical weak? nesses to be found in the South, several ol which were invented by Dr. Byers himself, and those who have bad trouble with theil eyes will do well to consult Dr. Byers while be is in Sumter. His credentials have been carefully examined by the phyiicians of this city and they have recommended him to such of their patients as are in need of the ser? vices of}.a specialist. Greenville has been the headquarters of Dr. Byers and lhe?9 he is known by all both as a specialist Jand as a man and citizen. The Greenville New3 a short tine ?go said of him : ,{Dr Byers, the eye specialist, after a few weeks of unavoidable absence, is again in his office, more fully prrpured than ever to meet the demands of those who need his skill and experience ic the proper adjustment of giasses. He bas treated mon' deep seated eye troubles caused by errors of refraction than any specialist south of Xew York city.

A GRAND ENTERTAINMENT. The Story of the German Reforma tion or Life of Martin Luther. This grand historical entertainment wili be given at the Opera House, neit Monday and Tuesday evening?, Feb. 15 and 16, under the auspices of the St. James Lutheran Church. It is a lecture-drama illustrated with 85 superb stereoptican views and per? sonified in HMisic. words and living 'icuies by over 125 persons. Lending people of Sumter in 16'h century costumes will repre? sent the most important events in the life of the great Reformer, Martin Luther. There will be two allegorical processionals, io which the States of the Union, states of tbe G-rr. an Empire and the leading Protestant countries of Europe will be represented. The scenes will represent an episode at the Erfnrth Monastery, Luther's famous trial at Worms before Emperor Charles V, and the leaving of the convect by twenty-two nuns and novices. The lecture will be given by Mrs. H. E. Monroe, of Philadelphia, who has an envia? ble reputation as a lecturer This entertainment bas bpen given this season at the Academy of Music at Phila? delphia, Music Hall, at Boston, Providence, R I., Lowell, Mass , Hartford, Tenn., Spring? field and Akron.

L B. Wells, Esq., will continue to pre? side over the court of justice for the city of Suinter, having received the recommendation of the Sumter delegation The re-appoint? ment of Magistrate Well? will prove satisfac? tory to a majority of the residents of Sumter, for he has administered the efflce capably and efficiently There is another point io Judge Wells' favor that has no direct bearing on tbe case in question, nut it is reason why roany Sumter {.ecple are gratified that be is to continue in charge of the dispensary of justice. When there is a case involving the belligerent rights of two or more negro wo? men on trial in Judge Wells' court there is more solid and original amusement to be de? rived by spending an idle half hour in his court than any ether place in the county Tee Judge has the faculty of bringing out all of the fact?, and if the witnesses and princi? pals attempt to palm off a variegated and highly colored fiction on the court, he starts them at the starting place as often as neces? sary to bring out the truth. The Judge's charge to prevaricating witneeses is strictly original and bas to be heard to be appreci? ated. A witness that will swear falsely after an admonition from Judge Wells ha3 no fear of tbe dungeon, no appreciation of the enor? mity of perjury and no terror of the hereafter that awaits liars-especially those who have the temtrity to lie in a court of justice. The trial of a scrapping match down on Rfd and White street takes the lead of anj matinee, and a repertoir company is not in it at al!. Long may Judge Wells and bia incomparable conrt survive !
