A Southern Drama at
House ou iVInudity
the Opera
Night.
That delightful and moat success
ful play “Alabama” written by Au
gustus Thomas, will be presented at
the Darlington Opera House ou Mon
day evening next September the Ibth.
“Alabama is an idyll of the bayou
borders. It has the subtle charm of
of 1'oesy. It brings with it the soft
airs aud the dreamy quietude of the
somnolent South. It appeals to the
eye with a series of pictures breath
ing chivalry and sentiment, io the
car with the musical dialect whose
spell is potent, and to the mind with
a harmouious blendiug of all these
mellowing influences. There is,
moreover, a significance iu the suc
cess of “Alabama” which may neither
be overlooked nor misunderstood by
those who observe the stage with
the eyes of earnest well-wishers. M r.
Thomas’ play is a bold step in the
direction of the ideal. Other au
thors have kept to beateu paths, Mr.
Thomas has thrown aside theatrical-
ism and all the clap-trap that the
term embraces, aud has written a
drama upon simple unconventional
lines, lie has demonstrated that art
need not be artificial, that truth is
not trumpery, aud that love—the
mainspring of life—if not even iu
these times divested of idyllic
thought or sweet soul quality. “Al
abama” is a story of the South. It
is domestic in character and is said
to be so true to nature that it seems
as if the author had carved out a
slice of Alabama and set it on the
stage. It is a love story with some
of the incidenti dating back to the
War,

There is no snob things as these blood

.certain that as he advances in know l

Some of our farmers who were
inclined to abuse Major Brawley for
voting for the repeal of the Sherman
act and free coinage of silver, are
now praising him sines cotton has
gone up from 6 to 71 cents per
pound. They began to see that
.Major Brawley’s head was level, and
that he was working for the welfare
of the farmer and the people gener
ally, and not for Wall street and the

Some of our contemporaries, nota
bly the Abbeville Press and Banner,
are deluding themselves with the
idea that the small sales mode by the
dispensaries furnish strong evidence
of the great reduction iu the quan
tity of whiskey consumed since the
law want into effect. While there
has been a decrease, especially with
those who are too poor to purchase it
in quantity, it is well know n that a
great many steady drinkers, those
who like tine liquor, aud are able to
pay for it, keep themselves well
supplied by ordering what they wish
from adjoining States. The amount
purchased in this way is very consid
erable, to suv nothing of the salts

assertion may be safely made that the

There was a colored women

She had to be hauled to the guard

strong advocate of the so-called rights
of woman, and is perhaps only
practicing one of those rights in
order that they may not all be thrust
upon her at once. It is not a
bad idea, if they are to learn the
vices of men to take them up in de

that of California, with Utah as a

bles, being somewhat similar in ap
pearance to those from our neighbor
ing Republic. In this exhibit there
are also some beautiful specimens of
onyx and agate, which are found
in but few countries and are Cam
pari lively rare and pretty costly, u
small slab of either being worth from
fifty to one hundred dollars. Of
course au exhibit from this state
would not be complete without a dis
play of its gold bearing ore, of which
there were a good many speci
mens. No one however except a ge-
oligist or a mining expert would,
however, suspect this ore of having
hidden iu its rough exterior so much
of the precious metal. lathe Utah
exhibit there were three cabinets
containing 11 complete collection of
tho minerals frsm the home of the
Mormons, all e'lassified and arranged
to show to the best advantage. One
of the most notable exhibits was that
of Li on tan a, containing the famous
silver statute of .Miss Ada Behan, the
actress. This is said by experts to be
valuable as a work of art, aside from
the fact that it contains $75,000
worth of pure silver. The
silver does not, from an artistic
standpoint, show to the same advan
tage as would marble, but of course
attracts more attention. If the visi
tor is surprised when he hears the
value of the statue itscif, he will open
his eyes with wonder when he is told
that the pedestal ou which it rests
contains two hundred aud forty five
thousand dollars of pure gold. " One
of the wouders of this fascinating ex
hibit is the beautifully colored speci
mens of petrified wood from Arizona,
