A SERIers BOBBERY.-Early Sun- Egi
day night, Mrs. Keller's residence on D
Congresi street was entered by bar- Silt
glars and robbed of about $200 in A.
money. At the time of the burglary, M.
Mrs. Ecller was not at home, and the Bo:
whole house was at the mercy of theth
thief. It is a miracle that no other wh
valuables were stolen. A window I
pane was found broken, and it is sup Di
posed that by this means the thief re- and
moved the window fastenings, raised the
the sash, and in this way effected an
entrance. When Mrs. EK ller returned
te back door was found open, and it
a probable that the burglar made his hai
scape that way. sell
Every circumstance seems to inadi
cate that the guilty party is some one at
familiar with the house and its sur-w
roundigs. It is a long time since a
bolder or mere serious robbery has int
ccurred in W innsboro. As far as is P
known at present no satikfactory clue ma
has been discovered, but nothing will ~
be lefs udene to arrest the guilty -he!
scoundrel. It seems that nowadays, j
bolts and bars are but poor protection we

THEY MADE A HIT.
'he following is what the Rock Hill
espondent of the Columbia Jouanal
to say of the performance of our

iraday evening:
ocK H-ILL, Dec. 1.-Thanksgiving
'was observed in the usual way
. All the places of business were
ed and union services were held in
Methodist Church. The sports
all went hunting and the Thanks
ng turkey was in order. The day
brought to a delightful close with
presentation of "Nevada, or The
M ine," by the Winnsboro Dra
ic Club, one of the strongest
teur companies in the country.
play was an excellent one and the
erso well suited their respec
parts that it is hard to draw any
inctions, but we cannot refrain
na special mention of the acting
)r. David Aiken as "Nevada," Miss
ie Aiken as "Moselle, the Waif,"
Mr. J. W. Hanahan as "Jube,"1
negro comedian. The admirable
eption and rendition of these roles
)lvd a talent on the parts of those
,presented them, that, if cuilti
d, would place them high in the
natic world.
b'cast of the other characters was
ollows: Agnes Fairlee, Miss Liz
Gerig; Mother Merton, Miss Lou
eston; -Vermont, an old miner,
Dwight; Tom Carew, WV. G.
ite; Dandy Dick, W. Egleston;
s Steele, a missionary of health,
E. Gerig; Jerden, a detective, Dr.
Robinson; Win Kvye, a Chinaman,
ce Elliot t.
etween the acts Mr. Gerig treated
diince to several humorous songs
ch brought forth hearty applause.
is safe to say that the Winnsboro
mmatic Club will always meet with
mthusiastic reception in Rock Hill
we hope it will not be long before
r favor us with another visit.

|(essrs. . S. Brice, W. J. Johnson, R.Y.
Lemmon, and T. P. Mitchell, Senator
and Members of the House:
Gentlemen-You will not consider
me impertinent nor deny tay right to
ask a simple question or two. You
are the representativ s of this people
ollecvely; 3ou a.ie my representa
tives-tnv agents individually-and I
have a right, therefore, to inspect and
ass upon your every public or private
acts whilst acting for me in said ca
pacity. It has been published in the
public prints, and not denied so fsr as
I know, that the Tillman faction of
the Legislature met in caucus and
decided to support for a judgeship
only those who were adherents of this
peculiar sect-thereby making, in my
bumble opinion, the neasure of a
man's qaalification for a judgeship
epend not upon brain and ability,
nt upon political creed.
You are all Tillmnanites, and the
record of your votes, so far a. record
sd, indicates that you may have acted
au co~npliance with the statemnents
rhich have been publiebed. I do not
wish to do you injustice, and there
Fore ask:
. Did such cancns assemble?
2. Did you vote for candidate or
adidates put forth by such caucus?

ory is the only thing that will give
Wiunsboro a lift as well as ihe farmers
or miles around who have beef or
nutton or fruits or vegetables to sell.
But how can a factory be built? The
nly possible plan is by instalments,
or there is very little ready money
ere But every one who takes a share
msst resolve to hold oni till the work
s done and persuade his neighbor to
lo the same, and must not lay plans
y buy stock at half price. Every
nan must look to the good of the fac
ory and must not set triggers to sell
s land or to get the factory built on
his side or on that side from selfish
notives. The good of the factory will
)e the good of the town, no matter:
here located, and of everybody in
Lnd near the town. Pall together like
ock Hill, and get the farmers for
ifteen miles around help to pull, for;
t is as much their interest as that ofI
own people. We can get a factory if
e want it. Winnsboro is in need of
omething. Let some man of enter-I
rise start the ball. Then these fac-|
>ies are so pi ofitable to the stock
olders that when they get one theyd
mon want another. So the country is
nriched. Start right now and be
eady for the good times, for they will
ome again. A. n. c.
