The Abbeville Amateur Theatricals.!
Ox the evening of Thursday, last
week tlie Abbeville Amateur Thespian j
Corps gave an interesting entertainment
in the Court House to a large j
audience of spectators from the town ;
and country, with the following cast)
of characters in the pla3*of
"THE PEOPLE'S LAWYER."
Robert Howard, the People's Lawyer?S. CCason.
Hugh Wlnslow, a merchant?Dr. J. S.
Thompson.
Shingle, a Country Teamster?J. A.
Calhoun. ,
Charles Otis, a Clerk?M. P. DeBruhl.
John Ellsley, aHerk?Dr. H. 1>. Wilson.
Tripper, an Attorney at Law?T. M. Galphin.
I
Judsje of the Cour*?W. T. Branch.
Kherilf of the Court?A. W. Jones,
John, a Porter?E. L. Wilson.
Timid, a Lawyer?A.. J. Chalmers.
Jurymen and Police Officers?Company. I
Miss Grace Otis?Miss Minnie Lomax.
Mrs. Otis?J/iss Kate Calhoun.
After which we had some excellent!
music from the string band, and then
followed the excellent rendition of
the Farce of
"d'ye kxow me now?"
with the following impersonations:
Julioz SDiirsrius?A. W. Jones.
Jolly, a Commercial Traveller?.V. P. Pe-i
Bruhl,
% Nogo Duuks?T. M. Galphin.
Samuel Watewell?J. A. Calhoun.
Clerks, &c?Company.
In the plays each character was performed
in a manner quite creditable,
"but we will be pardoned if we mention
the attraction imparted to the
whole by the presence of tlje young!
maies.
i
MISS KATE CAI.UOUX
acted the purl of the old ladv with!
such a grace as to make her appearj
even as 11?vols* in the assumed charae-j
ter of the aged matron as she is charm-1
ing in the real charaeterof the nonpa-j
reil maiden. The 'pcrsonelle and!
bearing of
MISS MINNIE I.OMAX
on the stage were perfect and faultless ji
and she performed her nice part in theh
portrayal of heroism and deep feeling j
at a brother's apparent misfortune,ji
with a delicacy and modesty which I:
reflected the beautiful character ofli
the handsome young lady. j<
DK. J. Si. THOMPSON, <
as Hugh Winslow. the pot\ipous pier- !
chant, acted finely his part throughout
and especially in his efFort to in- '
duce
MR. M. P. DEBKUHL, (
as Charles Otis, the clerk, to testify
falsely. The merchant, upon the i
Clerk's refusal to comply with his I
request, dismissed him from the store. :
Charles resisted bis approaches in a
manner which enlisted the sympathy I
-f tiw.n.wiionno ?s u-ell hm thoiradmira- ;
t?I tllC(lUUlVUvv,*v - v.. 7 7
tion for his inflexible character. He
was afterwards arrested as the result
of a deep laid scheme upon the part of
the merchant w:th the assistance of
DR. H. I>. WILSON*
as John Ellsley, a brother clerk, who
exhibited to Charles Otis his employer's
watch and chain which he admit- i
ted that he had stolen, and upon
Charles refusing to keep the watch
forhitn, he?petningly repented of his
crime, and requested Charles to write i
for him to his employer an acknowledgment
of his fault, which Charles
readily consented to do, and while in
the act of writing, Ellsley slipped the ,
watch and chain into Charles' pocket.
When the copy of the confession was
finished he asked Charles to put it in .
his pocket until he would return. ,
After Dr. Wilson had accomplished
this sleight of hand performance with
the dexterity of the mngieinn, he left, i
??wl i in* officers of the law soon had the I
merchant's victim in their clutches. i
MH. T. M. GALPHIX 1
appeared in Court as prosecuting at- j
torney, and the self complacency and J
assumed dignity of the Major were excellent.
The proof of the prisoners
guilt was conclusive at the time, but
for the appearance of ;
MR. K. c. OASON
as Robert Howard, the People's Lawyer,
and hero of- the story, wiio claim
ed to he heard in behalf of the prison- ,
er. Jiy his adroitness in examining 1
the states' witnesses he proved from i
tlietn clearly the innocence of his
client and the guilt of John Ellsley and
the merchant. Charles was acquitted
and Che People's Lawyer received the '
hand of Grace, the sister of the defendant,
as his fee for his legal sorvi- 1
ces.
MR. JOIfN A. CALHOUN,
as a teamster, amused the audience
throughout the play with the inimita- ,
ble manner in which he performed his
part.
MR. A. J. CHALMERS
made his first appearance that night
as a lawyer, and if he progresses a*
his start indicates, will yet w in distinction.
MR. A. \V. .TONES
never falls to plea*e ami interest, and |
whatever he does is su%i* i<> he worthy
of tin-occasion and the man.
MR. E. Ji. WILSON
deserves especial mention tor the excellent
manner in which he performed
his part. His efforts on the sta<re.
like his labors off the stage, were en
tiri-iy sueeessitu.
Rev. II. F." Vorter.
This sleek-tongurd anil- meek-evedi
enemy of peace, truth and just ice al'le: j
stirrin.* 114) an much ill-feeling as possible
between his neighbors at Cokes-1
bury, seems to be as wise as the serpent
as he knew exactly when to take
himself (o other fields of usefulness,
and thus avert the impending doom
which awaited his return from Abbeville.
The good people of Cokesbury
knew not at that time the exte'nt of
his offending, but were satisfied that
this carpet-bag negro from Massachusette
who sought to represent this
county iu the Legislature needed their
respects, and it is reported that a number
of persons contemplated making
the atmosphere pretty hot for him,
hut he failed to come home. When
he does conie he ought to bring half a
dozen soldiers with him for company.
We learn that this preacher is now
looking after the welfare (?) of our
Newberry brethren. We think he
will not be likely to disturb this community
much more.
XV. H. Heard, of Georgia.
Various reports are in circulation
respecting this Georgia negro who
wanted to represent us in the Legislature
at its present sitting. One is to
the effect that he has been killed, and
a hundred other stories with all the
different shades which each reader
may please to give his report. We are
informed by a reliable gentleman from
Lowndesville that this negro was carried
over Savannah River at Harper's
Ferry in this county one morning last
week about sunrise in charge of several
men whom the Ferryman did not
know, and it is said that he is an es
caped convict from Georgia and that
these men were currying him back to
receive a just punishment for some
crime committed in that State.
We know nothing of the fact of the
reports in reference to his being killed
or taken off. If any of our friends
know the truth of this matter we will
thank them to give it to us for publication.
P. S. Since writing the above we
learn that he is in Columbia resting
safely in the arms of Daniel.
The Legislature.
As will bo seen from despatches in another
column, United States troops have
surrounded the State House, and upon
the exclusion of the Laurens and Edge
hold Democratic members the Lower
House withdrew from the State House!
before any organization was effected, and j
subsequently assembled in Military I hill
where an organization whs concluded.
With this arrangement legislation at the
capital is at a standstill, as the Senate will
probably refuse to recognize the Democratic
organization of the House of Representatives.
No business of any kind
can be done for the present, and we prepumt'
the most that they can do is to meet
and adjourn from day* to day until tho
organization is agreea upon. The Government
at Washington seems determined
to keep Chamberlain in office, but the
Democrats aro confident of being able to
inaugurate the lawfully elected Governor.
A coiiOKKD boy a boot l!) years of
age was captured and confined in jail
yesterday for breaking into the dwell-!
ing of Mr. Niekles near IVJcKay'sj
Mills. He was caught iu the act, and J
as he was running eight nhots were
tired at him, and he was slightly
wounded. Iiy referring to the records!
of the Court we find that during the
last three years 40 persons have been
sentenced to the penitentiary from this j
County, and out [of this .4f>, 41 were
were colored ; out of this 14 40 were
sentenced for grand larceny.
Kousk Your Stock.?"A merciful
man is merciful to his beast-." It has
been demonstrated time and iigain by
eminentstock raisers that cattle of ail |
kinds kf?i>f, well housed dnrhiir the I
cold windy days and nights of winter,!
will keep fat on one-third less than j
when exposed. We have always
thought.that it was poor economy to
leave milk cows in tlu; weather to
hunt the warm side of a worm fence.
The Pi(tnburff Commercial alludes
to "Hon." \V. \V. Hicks, of Florida,
as a prominent Republican. When]
Hicks was in Georgia he was a promi->
nent democrat, and edited a red-hot I
democratic daily. We wish the Com-\
mcrciol much suesesss.?Atlanta Con- j
stitution. When Hicks was in South j
Carolina, he was a sanctimonious
preacher of the gospel and ever so pious.
At a mass meeting of the young la-;

The Abbeville Agricultural Fair.
The Abbeville Fair came oflf last
week, according to previous announcement,
and was in some respects quite I
equal to the expectation of our people. I
The hard times and the great political'
events which are now transpiring and j
exciting our people to a degree never j
known before, had the ofll-ct of preventing
many from coming to our an-;
nual festival to greet and tie greeted'
The people of Abbeville always look I
to the Fair with much pleasure!
since old friendsnips and old associations
arc warmed and new friendships
are made in the meeting and the eu-j
tertainment of our neighbors. JSspe-i
cially isthistrueof the young people!
who perhaps have realized the fact that
"there is nothing in life half so sweet
as love's young dream.''
The exhibition in an mu uu|iun,-|
ments to. which the ladies are expected
to contribute, was excellent, but in
the department ol' cattle, sheep, swine, J
{joats,'&c., Ac., there was a marked
falling ofl'. The number of horses 011
the truck and before the committees
was not large, but they were of the
finest specimens.
The number of visitors was not
more than one-fourth the number usually
in attendance, and for this reason
there was not money enough taken in
at the gate to do more than pay expenses,
and the consequence is there
was no money to buy premiums, and
necessuriiy none were awarded.]
This is no fault of the management of!
the Fair. It is the fault of the people,
if fault there is. The Fair was advertised
with the expectation that the I;
receipts would pay for the premiums,
but such is not the case, and exhibitors
will have to forego the pleasure of
f.-in viiiL' awav ibis year the usual
iiiiiiiI>c*r of In-niitiful premiums. If
premiums had been purchased, the
