The Charlotte Observer says of he appearance of Robin Hood in harlotte: One of the first real hits of the eason in the local play-house was eored last night by "Robin Hood," :hat delightful musical creation. ['here was music last night-not of he flim-flam musical' comedy sort -but music such as one hears too ittle of. It was good from the first -i of the curtain; there were no Irags, no stupid moments. The splendid scores of the opera vere in excellent hands., As a vhole the voices- had volume and one. Individually, scarcely one veak place could be found in the :ast. As Marian, Miss~ Vivia rewster won personal laurels to erself. She has personality; a roice, a face and a figure. In the itle role, I\M r. Harold Blake, though acking the force his part calls for, ias a tenor voice that makes up for nuch. Mr. F. Stanton Heck, as he sheriff of Nottingham, Mr. vaurice Hageman. as Friar Tuck, .nd Mr. Campbell Donald, as Guy f Gisborne, were comedians such s one conceives .of fdr real comic pera-not too broad, but still fun y. The others in the leading~ role lled their parts to perfection. "Brown October Ale" and Tink rs''chorus are the real song suc esses and each of these brought orth encore after encore. The rain on WVednesday prevent d the rehearsal of Christmas music t the Lutheran Church of the Re eemer. It is, therefore. the more ecessary that all miembers of the chool be p)resent this ( Friday) af rnoon, at three thirty o'clock. U R SAL E-Reserve seat tickets for Robin Hlood.

Estimate County Expen The county supervisor h yet made out his estimate of c expenses which has to be sent comptroller general about the of January, but in a conversa with Mr. Fred H. Dominick, cl of the board, yesterday it was lear ed that the estimate would be mad up very soon and that likely i would be necessary to make the lev. for ordinary county purposes b tween six and seven mills. The legislature made it 2 1-2 mills for this year which was insufficient and then the dispensary money will not be at the disposal of the board. Mr. Dominick stated that at the last meeting the board was unable t pay a claim the first time this year. There were no funds. The board had calculated on about $3,000 from the dispensary. This will have to be made up by taxation. The matter of paying aldermen $io for each meeting attended and fining them $io for each meeting missed is being discussed in Colum bia. Within the past several days the supreme court has heard appeals in not less than- five murder cases from Saluda county. THE way to get good attractions at the Opera House is to patron ize them.
