“Larking.”
The above named company, that
completely capfivated the people last
season will appear in our Opera
House again on December 3rd. The
Little Rock, Arkansas, Gazette says
of them: “Larking,” a farce comedy
in three acts was presented at the
Capital Theatre last night, and wit
nessed by the audience of the aver
age size, but vociferous in applause.
There is an emptiness in the plot
which is filled up with clever spe
cialties, the comedians, good music,
pretty girls and clever comedy, all
combining to make a pleasing per
formance. All approaches to vul
garity are barred out in “Larking,”
an exceptional feature which is large
ly in its favor. The specialty peo
ple are of more real talent than most
of the rough comedies seen here this
season, and lovers of innocent fun,
the skirt dance, good music and pret
ty choruses should avail themselves
of the opportunity and not miss
“Larking” at the matinee this after
noon and the performance to-night,
which is the last. Incidental to the
play quite a number of pretty bal
lads are rendered by the members of
the company, and especially those
sung by Miss Dolly Foster, Miss Ad-
die Marden, Miss Nellie Atherton,
Mr, Pans Ixj I’etre, Mr. James Mc-
Alpine and others. One of the fea
tures of the performance that de
serves especial mention, was the
skirt dance, the young ladies wearing
the colors of the Nations. Little
Rock theatre-goers have given crowd
ed houses to performances of less
merit than that of last night.
from Bennettsville, and the work at
both ends is being pushed with all
possible dispatch. Contractor Prin
gle'has a very large force of hands at
work on the lower end in Sumter
county, and despite some difficulty
in securing labor, very little delay has
been incurred. Large numbers of
hands from North Carolina have
been brought down into this State
for this work, and while the good
wages offered everywhere by the
planters to cotton pickers has lured
some of them away, the majority has
continued on the railroad, and the
size of the force kept up during the
entire season.
The people of Sumter and Darling
ton are very enthusiastic about the
benefits which will accrue to them
from the completion of this exten
sion, and the business men of Charles
ton have cause to be equally jubilant,
as it will throw a great deal of busi
ness into this city which has hereto
fore gone to other ports. At present
there is no way of getting by rail
from the best portions of Marlboro
county to Charleston, and all that
part of the State will be opened up
by a direct line, as soon as This route
is put into operation.
Bennettsville, Nov. 7.—Track-
laying on the Charleston, Sumter
and Northern has been suspended at
this end. The engine has returned
to Sumter. Work will be pushed
from that point. About two miles
of track remain to be laid between
here and the river; the grading is
not all finished. Hands are at work
grading on the Darlington side of
the river. The recent freshet in the
Pee Dec washed up all the piles which
had been driven for the piers of the
bridge. Work has been resumed on
the bridge since the water went down.
The trestling on this side of the
bridge is ready. There will be one
station between here and the river,
about six miles from town. The
name of Dal by City has been given
to it. The scarcity of hands has
delayed the grading a good deal. It
is reported t hat three hundred Ital
ians have been sent for to work on
the line between here and Sumter.
Death of an Octogenarian.
, [Bishopville Eagle.]
Dr. Benjamin Simons Lucas died
at his home in Kershaw County on
last Sunday, and was buried the
Tuesday following—October 21st,
his 86th birthday—at Bethany
Church, of which he had for many
years been a consistant, devoted mem
ber. The funeral services were con
ducted by Rev. J. J. Workman, a
large concourse of relatives and
friends testifying of their sympathy
and respect by their attendance and
sorrowful, saddened bearing.
It had been arranged by his chil
dren and grand children to assemble
at the homestead, and celebrate with
their venerated father this birthday.
How different the meeting from that
which they had planned, how much
more sad the parting. “Man pur
poses, but God disposes.”
The death of such a man as Dr.
Lucas demands more than a passing
notice.
He was born in the city of Charles
ton, where he spent his boyhood and
youth, and where he received his pri
mary education. When ready for
college he went to England where
he remained until he completed his
education, both literary and medical.
He came to Kershaw in 1844, and
bought the plantation upon which he
died and began farming and the prac
tice of medicine, in both of which
he was eminently successful up to
the close of the war.
Since the war he has taken but lit
tle part in public affairs. While
keenly alive to ami deeply interested
in all that pertained to his communi
ty, bis state and country—and few if
any were better posted in regard to
matters of church or state, for-he
was an inveterate, systematic reader
—on account of increasing age, and
having lost, in consequence of the
the war, most of his property, togeth
er with the fact that he was natural
ly of a modest, retiring disposition,
lie chose to remain almost exclusively
within the precincts of his own home,
rarely ever going out, except to at
tend Divine services, which he never
failed to do, whenever his physical
condition would permit.
Notwithstanding this, his advice
and counsel'was sought and followed,
the impress of his pure life and spot
less character, was seen and felt in
the neighborhood and community.
The excellent reputation enjoyed
by his section some years ago for
schools and social features was large
ly due to him.
He reared a most excellent family
of children, of whom Col. J. J. Lu
cas, of Society Hill, Dr. 15. S. Lucas,
of Hartsville, and Dr. T. E. Lucas, of
Chesterfield, are known throughout
the State as brave soldiers, practical,
progressive, useful citizens, and high-
toned, Christian gentlemen.
His work is done, he lived wisely
and well, the world is better on ac
count of his life.
He died as he lived, in peace—in
peace with God and man. It can be
truthfully said, he didn’t have an
enemy in tbe world and his death was
peaceful and easy, it was simply
“sinking to rest.”
How blest the riirhleous when he (lies,
When sinks the dyinp saint to rest;
How calmly beam the closing eyes,
How gently heave the expiring breast.
