The Southern Com.'.ly Company Secures a New CoinedIhii. Tlie Southern Comedy Company has been doing a rattier poor business at the theatre. The weather bus had something to do with the attendance. Wednesday night the performance was an improvement on the other two, but there is a little too much sameness about the specialties. .Man ager Wright secured a new comedian yesterday. He came direct from Xew Jersey and his work last night added materially to ihe attractiveness of the show. Tonight will tie amateur night. During the regular show a number of local young people who have a longing for the stage will do “stunts.” Prizes are given away every night and the capital prize wili be given away tomorrow night. This is not a dramatic performance. It is simply a clean vaudeville perform ance, with singing, dancing, musical sketches, etc. On March Utb the people of Oalf- ney will have the opportunity to wit ness one of the finest shows on the road. The following is from the Rochester. N. Y., Union and Adver tiser of Jan bth : “"‘The Prisoner of Ztnda,’ a ro mance founded on Anthony Hope's novel of that name, was presented by an excellent company headed by Ed win Mordaunt at the National Theater yesterday afternoon and list evening before large audiences, and that it gave the greatest satisfaction was ev ident from the liberal and enthusias tic applause. The play is beautifully mounted in every way, the costumes are attractive and the company is a thoroughly competent one, teing ex ceptionally str eg in many places. ‘The Prisoner of Zenda’ has many powerful dramatic situations and these are all brought out with tne necessary force to make then, most effective. Altogether the production is an elaborate one, and one would wonder now such a splendid produc tion could be presented at popular prices. It only goes to show that the management of the National is keeping tWe promise it made at the opening of the new theater to prtseut the best of attractions. That this is being appreciated by the theater go ing people of Rochester is evident by the large patronage the Xatirfaal is enjoying. The cast of ‘The Prisoner of Zenda’ is a large one, and, as stated, is headed by Edwin Mordaunt, an actor of great ability. In the deal character of Rudolf, king of Ruri- tania, and Rudolf Rassendyl, a youag Englishman, Mr. Mordaunt is stroug and effective at all times. Miss Flor ence (Jale, as Princess Flu^ia, has a’ character well suited to her and she was nweet and most charming at%ull times. The work of William Dewoll as Col. 8apt, the old fellow who is loved by everyone who has read Hope’s story, was a clever bit of act ing. Carroll Daly, as the Duke of 8treslau, as well as all the others in the cast, contributed towards making the play the success that it proves to he. There will be performances this evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening.” This play and the same company that gave it in Rochester will be in Gaffney. A Novel Calendar. Mr. L. litker yesterday received a novelty in the shape of a calendar. It was sent out by the Perkins Man ufacturing Company, of Augusta, Ga. On a thick piece of cardboard repre senting an old cabin door blind are tacked two rusty binges and a key hole plate. Distributed in nice pro portion are a horseshoe, a four leaf clover, a rabbit foot and a wishbone, all of which are emblems of good luck. The calendar is novel, neat and useful. Talk of Creutiiif; .More •Judicial Circuit.^ There is some talk in the general assembly of creating two more judi cial circuits in the State and of mak ing Cherokee, Spartanburg and Union one of the districts. If this is done, it will necessitate the election of two more judges. For judge of the one composed of Cherokee, Spartanburg and Union, we suggest the name of Hon. S. J. Simpson, of Spartanburg.
