ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Donald White Was Playing With Ri
fie When it Was Discharged,
Hitting Negro Boy.
While Donald White, the young son
of Mr. J. W. White, was playing with
a rifle yesterday morning it was ac
cidentally discharged, the ball strik
ing Frank Hall, a young negro boy,
entering the lower part of the chin
on the left side and lodging in the
neck. It was qt first thought that the
wound woald prove fatal, but medii
cal assistance was called. in immedi
ately, and it was thought yesterday
afternoon that he would recover. The
principal danger, it was stated, arose
from te fact that an.artery was ser
ered. and it was feared for a time
that loss of blood would be so great
that his life could not he saved.
The accident occurred in Mr. J. W.
White's store. The two boys, Don
ald White and Frank Hall went hunt
ing yesterday morning, and had just
returned. They were together in the
store and Donald White was playing
with the rifle. When it was discharg
ed the muzzle was only a very short
distance from the negro boy's head.
Nobody was paying any especial at
tention to the play of the tw6 boys at
the time, but it is supposed that Don
ald White did not know the rifle was
cocked, or thought that it was not
.cocked, and that this mistake on his
part accounts for the accident.
The rifle was a 22-callibre Marlin.
The physicians called in were. Drs.
J. M. Kibler, P. *G. Ellesor, 0. B.
Mayer, W. G. Houseal and W. A.
Dunn.
Frank Hall,. the negro boy who was
shot, is a son of Aaron Hall, and is
about sixteen years of age. He was
not removed from Mr. White's store
after the accident, but was given at
tention there.

Damon and Pythias Tonight.
Arrangements have . been made
whereby the production of Damon
and Pythias, which won suich a great
success ini Columbia on the 19th, will
be presented in Newberry under the
auspices of the local Knights of Py
thias. The production is under the'di
rection of Mr. Eduard D 'Oize, a pro
fessional actor, who is a native of the
south, and who will also be seen~ in the
role of Damon, a part he has played
many times. He has also played ii
the play with several of the most~
prominent American stars. Two sea-,
sons ago, Mr. D 'Qize was seen here as;
Romeo. The cast will be practically:
the same as appeared in Columbia.
The costumes a.re elaborate and his-*
torically correct. 8peaking~ of t he
productionl the State said:
The story of the play, int-.!sely in
teresting and thrilling, relates the ex
periences of the two friends, Damont
and .Pythias, and vividly portrays
their devotion and love for each other.
The performance was in many re
spects the most brilliant success ever;
achieved by an amateur cast. Every
detail was carefully attended to and
the large audience present showed
its appreciation by frequent applause
and iniany curtain calls weri received.
The honors of the evening were
equally divided between Mr. D'Gize.
as Damon and Mr. Ed. Clark as Py
thias. The best production was staged
under the direction of Mr. Eduard
D 'Oize, of Baltimore, and the excel
lence of the performance testifies to
the care and thoroughness with which
he instructed each member of the
ast.
The Damon of Mr. D 'Oize was ex
eellent and his rendition of the most
difficult passages showed him to be
an actor of marked ability. Mr. Ed.
Clark's Pythian was a splendid im
personation of that difficult part.
Mr. Clark has never been seen to a'
better advantage, being suited to the
part in phy.sique, temperament and
voice, and his readings were most!
finished and artistic.
Mr. L. S. Mattion asl Dionysius
looked ''every inch a king,'' his
stately bearing fitting the role to a'
nicety.
Mr. J. W. Conway as Philistine,
President of the senate, and Mr. E.
McC. Clarkston as Damocles were dig
nified and eloquent senators.
Dr. Fishburne portrayed the part
of Proeles in fine style and Allen Cul-1
ley, as Lucullus, was all that could be
desired.
Miss Valeni D 'Qize. who played
the part of Calanthe, the betrothed of
Pythias, on very short notice, gave a
splendid performance as did also
Miss Emma Hayner as Hermion, the
wife of Damon. The play was beau
tifully staged and costumed. The
house was filled with Knights and
their friends and the reception of the
play. was enthusiastic.

The handsome residence of Mr. Jno.

It was fortunate for Mr. Hipp that
Dr. Kibler was passing at that time,
and give the alarm so promptly. It

about a year ago.
At The Opera House Tonight.
The sale of tickets for Damon and
Pvthias, Friday night is progressing
finely and if is safe to predict that
the house vill be crowded to its full
est limits. The cast will be practi
cally the same that presented the play
in Columbia on the 19th, and the pro
duction is under the direction of Mr.
Eduard 1) 'Oize. who will* essay the
role of 'Damon. Mr. D'Oize relates
an interesting story of a singular co
incidlence. which occurred while he
was playing in t1he play with Mr. Ed
win Ferry some years ago. At the
eid of the play. the three leading
characters. Damon. Pythias and Di
onysius form a triangle by placing
t!heir hands ulpon each other's shoul
dJers. The three parts were played
rsp4ect. ivy by Messrs. Ferry, Col
ins mal neckler. whose initials are
also the initials of the words, Fr iend
shipf..(hariity anl ~d Benevolence. wvhich
are the princiles of the order. Mr.
Collins wvas called home, and his p)lace
in the cast was taken by Mr. Carroll.
and. shortly afterward, lhe was replac
ed by Mr. Claxton. so the F. C. B. was
present throughout the en tire season.
The Times-Herald, of Newvport
News, Va.. November 7. 1903, said:
"'A fashionable :.mdience filled the
Academy last night to witness the ex
eellent amateur production of John
Banimn's blank verse drama. ''Da
mon and Pythiias'' given under the
auspices of Warwick lodge. No. 72.
Knights of Pythias.
"The play was staged by Eduamd
D'Oize, who esayed the role of Da
mon. and to whom first honor was due.
The east was well balanced and the
performance was the most noteworthy
amateur entertainment of such.pe
tentious proportions ever attempted
in this city:
"Mr. D 'Oize interpreted his role:
with great power having a faultless
conception of the part.'

Damon and Pythias.
The production of Damon and Py
thias on Friday, March 2nd, under
the auspices of the local lodges of~
Knights of Pythias, is under the di
reetion of Mr. Eduard D 'Oize, who
will appear in the role of Damon, Py
thias being in the capable hands of
Mr. Ed. B. Clark. Mr. D 'Oize is a
southerner by birth, his home being
in New Orleans. He has been leading
man with several prominent stars, and
tw) years ago appeared in Newberry,
playing Romeo in Romeo and Juliet.
ie has played the role of Damon
man times. The following criticism
of one of D 'Oize 's presentations of;
Damon and Pythias is from the Daily
Press of Newport News, Va:
The amateur production of Ban
im's beautiful drama redolent of
past glories of Greece, and permeated
by love and friendship fit to challenge
the admiration of the world, at the
Academy of Music last evening, wasi
creditable and enjoyment of the
splendid audience which filled the
house, was manifested in liberal ap
plause.
As Damon, Mr. Eduard D 'Oize, un
der whose supervision the drama was
produced made a distinct hit. He
rendered the difficult blank verse per
frectly, and his transition from patri
otic fervor to paternal and connubial
tenderness showed a versatility and
depth which surprised some who had
seen Mr. D 'Oize work under less fa
vorable circumstances.
The cast was well balanced and the
production was a creditable one in
every respect. Many persons left the
heater with a new conception of the
--eain of "Pythan friendship.''
A DISTINGUISHED -VISITOR.
Professor Malcolm McHardy the
Guest of Relatives in Newberry
This Week.
Nevherry has a distinguiished visi
tor in the person of Professor Mal
eolni Mellardy. who is this week the
uest of his cousin, Mrs. T. C. Pool,
and his other relatives in Newberry,
Mrs. Geo. S. Mower and Mr. Lambert
W. Jones. also his cousins, Professor
MeHardy being a nephew of the late
Mrs. Lambert J. Jones.
Professor McHardy arrived in New
berry yesterday morning.
Professor McHardty is the son of
Admiral McHardy. and grandson of
Nelson's famous flag-lieutenant, who
siuersted that the word "expects'"
should be signalled instead of " re
lies.'' He is one of the most widely
known men in London. received with
cordiality in royal circles, welcomed
at clihs where his bolhomie, humour
and transparent unconventionality
are a refreshing novelty upon the ja
ded artificiality of town life, the
friend of half the theatrical world,
from Miss Ellen Terry downwards,
and the handy man of limitless re
source to every distressed creature
who wants his services. So a recent
issue of the Review of Reviews de
serihes Professor Malcolm McHardy,
who is now in this city.
Professor McHardy is today one of
the world's most famous oculists. He
was intended for a mechanical career,
but he disliked it, and when little
more than a child he entered the med
iefil career From the age of seven
teen, when he went to St. George's as
a medical student, he has entirely
supported himself, often filling three
distinct posts at the same time.. Pro
fessor MeHardy in addition to being
a great oculist, is also a good archi
-t. having drawn up all the plans of
the Royal Eye hospital. He is also
a -ood mariner. a decent carpenter
:a fair dIrau.hitsman. He has in
'ented a self-re -ristering instrument
h;1r accura"tely and swiftiy measmring
Ihe field of vision. and it is one of the
iiispensable accessories or eye sur
.ery todIy.
Prfesr Mlella r'ly is p .pular in
his native landi. The reason is not
far to seek. It has been written of
him that "someR years ago. whilst
foinglil~ one of a committee to inquire
into the sight of railway servants, he
fo)und that to arrive at correct coneln
sions it was necessary for him to ride
upon en ;ines amidst smoke, rain anid
snow. and did not shrink from doing
so- "A man who has not only a
enormous private practice,' it iss sta
td in an account of his life, "but
could double and treble it if he so de
redl. achieves bold, brilliant opera
ions that are the envy and admira
tion of less devoted men, is not likely
o be considered popular amongst his
professinl brothers, for whose de
'orm and trade unions he cares not
oue rap." Professor MeHardy is a
mani who appeals to men. because of
his success in a noble work. Humani
Iv-that is the keynote of Professor'
feHardy 's success and of his great
popularity.
When seen yesterday morning Dr.
MeHardv talked pleasantly of New-!
)erry and of her' people. Dr. Me
Hardy 's last visit to Newberry was
thirty years ago. He expects to re
main here for ten days or two weeks.
He is seeking rest and recreation,
away from the cares and worries and
heavy responsibilities of a profession
al life, and he says that he has been
lookin~ forward to his visit here with
much pleasant anticipation.
