The story of "Brown’s in Town,” which is the attraction at the opera house Friday night, is decidedly com plicated and the complications are new. They come about through the efforts of a young man to keep his marriage a secret from his father. In furtherance of his plan, he and his bride go to a country villa where the father arrives later and where friends drop in, quite by accident of course, and to the utter despair of both Brown and his wife. When the father arrives upon the scene, he is told that his son is visiting a man by the name of Brown; this naturally compels the introduction of Mrs. Brown as well as her husband. One of tho friends in ignorance of the marriage, is persuaded to play the part of Brown. He finds it much to his liking and proceeds to make love to the lady in earnest, a proceeding which the husband is powerless to prevent without revealing the very thing lie is trying to reveal. Matters are further complicated by the fact EFFIK WARNER. that the pseudo Brown is supplied with two wives to suit the different emergencies, and is finally accounted a Mormon by the irascible father who has caused all the trouble. Ul timately matters have been straight ened out by the son confessing the fact that he is married, and as the old gentleman has become very fond of Mrs. Brown he finally gives his blessing and everything ends happily. Managers Delcher and Hennessy call this farce an extraordinary one for the reason that it is widely different from anything that has been seen on the stage in a number of years. It is built on novel lines similar to that of "Why Smith Left Home.” Its dia logue is crisp and fresh, and in action it is said to be about as brisk as they make them. Moreover, the people in the cast are competent, they are Mark Swan, C. Horn, Jessie Mae Hall, Ellie Warner. W. Cullison, Fanny Midgeley, Monica Lee, G. Ebner, Mannio Ward and others, The Ledger has good reason to be lieve that this is one of the best shows on the road. It is an unusual thing for this company to stop in towns the size of Gaffney. They play in cities only and on account of not being able to play in Charleston be cause of the fact that another com pany served the theatre for the entire week they had a night for which they had no date, so Manager Ross secured them for Gaffney. The opera house should be packed to its utmost capacity on this occasion. Court. The only case tried Friday was the case of the State vs. James Black wood for grand larceny. It was a complicated one—one which drew heavily on the resources of the Solici tor and his assistant prosecutor, Mr. Otts as well as the Counsel. Messrs Butler & Osborne, for tho defence. It consumed the whole day and was given to tho jury about night. An hour or two afterwards the jury noti fied the Sheriff that it had agreed upon a verdict. Judge Aldrich re turned to tho court house and the verdict was published. It was guilty. Sutuiday morning Mr. Butlerasked for a new trial which was refust d by the Judge who sentenced the prisoner to three years on the county chain gang, upon which Mr. Butler gave notice of an appeal and the case will be beard in the supreme court. This case finished the criminal business. The jury was dismisstd till yesterday and the court took up some equity cases. Monday morning court was con vened at 10 o’clock and went on to the civil docket in earnest and is making fair progress with the busi ness. M.

Maude True Knowltor, the pretty leading lady of "Brown’s in Town,” was visiting a jail one afternoon and was deeply imnretacd by tho good looking young man in one of the second tier of cells. ' You do not look like a guilty man,” said Miss Knowlton. as site stepped up to the cell, "but the guard tells mo that you have already been convicted. To what, may I ask, do you attri bute your—your—misfort une?” "To my early training when a child,” he replied. “Poor fellow!” she said, sympa thetically. 'How much ignorant and careless parents have to answer for in this \v< rid. What particular feature of your early training do you think had (ho effect of bringing you hero?” "Learning to write.” She was still wondering what the poor fellow could moan, when the jailer suggested, "He’s in for forgery, you know.” Air.
