One reason for the undying popu larity of East Lynne, the great emo tional drama which will be presented at the Star Theatre Saturday night December 5th, by a splendid company, is. your interest is at once excited when Richard Hate is suspected by the villainous Sir Francis Levison. Richard’s attorney is Archibald Car lyle, who has just taken as his bride. Lady Isabel, the pretty daughter of an impoverished earl. Isabel’s jeal ousy is wrought upon by the clande stine meetings between her husband and Barbara Hare, Richard’s sister. These meetings merely have to do with Richard’s trial, but Lady Isabel, not knowing this, and being goaded on by the scheming Sir Francis, who loves her, consents to an elopement, Archibald is plunged into despair, but after a lapse of years, having secured a divorce, he rewards the unselfish love of Barbara Hare by making her his wife. In the meantime, Lady Isabel’s cup of misery has been filled to the brim by S’’r Francis’ refusal to fulfill his promise of marriage and she leaves him. Learning of the serious illness of her child, whom she had deserted in her unreasoning jealousy, she ap plies for the position of nurse to the little sufferer. Disguised as Madame Vine, she secures the position, but, overborne with emotion at the dying agonies of her boy, she throws off her disguise and reveals herself to him as .his mother. She is discovered by Miss Cornev, the quaint spinster sis ter of Archibald Carlyle, and through her instrumentality, a reconciliation is brought about between Archibald and Isabel before the sorrowing mother closely follows her boy into the realms of the unknown. It will be seen that the character of Isabel moves through many strong dramatic and intensely thrilling scenes and through many strong emo tional parts, and the actress interpret ing it is afforded exceptional opportu nities for the display of her art. The production will be under, the masterful stage direction of Mr. Joseoh King, who has earned an en viable reputation by his work in stag ing such well known successes as The Ninety and Nine. Uncle Dan’l with Fred Wvckoff: Fast Lvnne with Re becca Warren; The Wife with Selma Herman: Toss of the DTTrberville, Ball and many other notable product ions. The Globe Resumes Operations.

This is the smallest mill in Gaffney but it is up-to-date in every respect and the class of goods turned out receives ai ready sale on a normal market. WELL HIDDEN, STILL FOUND. Officers Destroy Moonshine Plant in North Carolina. Monday Officers McGaha and Me- Cravey came to Gaffney from Green ville and went over into North Caro lina, where they located a distillery of about 150 gallons daily capacity, destroying about 2,000 galons of beer, which was almost ready to be dis tilled, and about 20 fermenters. Un fortunately the still, worm and cap had been removed before the arrival of the officers. The plant was locat ed on a branch on the side of a hill and the house was built over the still in such a way that unless one knew its exact location it would never be seen. Entrance was effected through a hole in the side of the hill. This plant was located not. far from the Boiling Springs High School. It had been a source of much trouble to the authorities of the school, as the operators thereof would supply the students with whiskey.
