The Pretty Little Opera to be Sung
at the Theatre Friday Niqht.
For some time preparations have
been going on for the presentation of
“Isabella” by local talent under the
direction of Mr. O’Bryan. Mr. O’Bry
an has presented this opera in a num
ber of places and has met with suc
cess wherever the attempt has been
made. The Rock Hill correspondent
of The Columbia State has the follow
ing to say of the presentation in that
city:
“There has never been a better all
round home-talent performance given
in this city than ’Isabella.’ All the
principals were everything that could
be wished. Miss Lucy Rider, as
Joanna, the daughter of Ferdinand
and Isabella, executed her role in the
most pleasing style. She is a person
of very pleasing and attractive iter-
sonality witli a delightful voice which
is always true, and in her solos and
duet work with Mr. O’Bryan she won
several encores.
“Mr. Allen D. O’Bryan,-as Colum
bus. was splendid. He is thoroughly
at ease and graceful on the stage and
his voice, a rich and full baritone, re
ceived hearty applause.
“The choruses, too, were of the best
talent in the city and well trained,
and as the music was bright and
catchy, they added largely to the en
tertainment..”
The following is from the Salisbury
Sun correspondent concerning the
presentation in that city:
“Tlie May Fiesta of the Daughters
of the Confederacy opened brilliantly
last night with a presentation of the
opera of “Isabella,” which was so suc
cessful as to surpass all anticipations,
and to delight the large audience as
sembled. Too much praise cannot be
given to the manner in which this gay
musical farce, full of tuneful melo
dies, mirthful absurdities and bright
pictures for the eye, was put on the
stage. The excellence of the chorus
and the admirable drilling evident in
the different specialties—the realistic
corps of newsboys, the gay Casino
and the enchanting children—
volumnes for the skill and
of the director, while the solo
were more than well sustained.
Mr. Taylor himself takes' the title
roll, playing it effectively and singing
with a voice of wonderful power and
compass. Miss Julia Crouch made a
lovely Joanna, ami by her graceful
aciing and sweet singing charmed ev
ery one. The duets between herself
and Columbus (Mr. O’Bryan) were so
delightful, both in melody and in ren
dering as to make it a matter for re
gret. that they were not more vigo-
rouslv encored. Mr. O’Bryan’s voice
is particularly fine. The singing and
acting of Messrs. Rideoutte and Bev
erly. as Treasurer and King, was ad
mirable and the whole performance
was not only creditable in the highest
degree to every one concerned, but it
was a matter of general remark that
it bore comparison well with the pro
fessional presentations of these popu
lar comedies. There can' he no doubt
that the second presentation of the
opera will command an overflowing
house."

CARPENTER'S
DEPARTMENT
IN RE THE NEW DEPOT.
Citizens Hold Meeting and Request
Petitioners to Withdraw Petitions.
Forty of Gaffney's business men at
tended the meeting at the city hall
last Friday to discuss the matter of
a new depot. Several speeches were
made in reference to the several peti
tions that are being circulated asking
that the railroad put the depot at dif
ferent sites. The concensus of opin
ion seemed to be that it would not
hasten the erection of the depot for
our citizens to be divided on Its lo
cation, and with a view toward stop
ping these petitions a committee was
appointed to confer with the gentle
men circulating, them and try to
prevail upon them to withdraw them.
One side agreed on the instant to
withdraw their petition, but the other
side was not so inclined, so a com
mittee consisting of W. J. Wilkins.
Dr. W. C. Hamrick and Ed H. Decamp i
was appointed by Chairman J. B. Bell
to wait upon the interested parties, j
The committee performed its duty
Saturday night. The result of the con
ference was that it was agreed to;
hold another public meeting today at
12 o’clock at the city hall to further 1
discuss the matter and to see if some-j
thing cannot be done to bring the i
different factions together. Every |
business man in Gaffnej is urged to
be present. This matter of a new de
pot L of vital importance to Gaffney,
and as a consequence a large crowd
should he present.
A Small Fire.
Saturday morning about 3 o’clock
the sleeping city was aroused by the
shrill notes of the fire whistle. The
cauSe of the alarm was the discovery
that a negro restaurant near the lime
house was on fire. The fire compa
nies turned out promptly and soon
had the fire out, but not before it had
gutted the building and destroyed
nearly all of its contents. There
was a barber shop in one room of the
building, and the barber was sleeping
in it at the time of the fire. He saved
his chair, a bedstead, and a few*small
articles; but everything in the restau
rant was lost.
The building belonged to M. L.
Ross and was not insured.
