Sam Shipp began the practic*
of law in Bennettsville with M
Newton, formerly solicitor o
the circuit, and quickly advanc
ed in the ranks of the profes
sion. He moved to Florence, ?
young and promising city ii
1895, having formed a partner
ship with the present Justice (
A. Woods, whose business con
uecuuus in mat sauuu wen
very large. He has practiced
law at the Florence bar con
tinuously, having been associat
?d in a number of the most nota
ale cases in that section, par
ticularly the efforts to defea'
the opening of the dispensary
>ver the expressed will of the
people of Lake City and Scran
ton and other hard fougb
rases. He has served as city
attorney of Florence and was
connected with the extensive
litigation over the gradec
school charter. In all of these
rases he developed a legal acu
nen that was remarkable anc
established himself as easily

one whose quick and ready application
of legal principles and
constitutional provisions could
not be equalled.
He was elected two years ago
a member ot tde general assembly
from Florence county, heading
the ticket, though he had
had no political experience and
was of a most retiring disposition,
little inclined to devotion
to the areric dust. He has
made one of the most valuable
; members of the judiciary com
mittee of the honse, where his
legal knowledge and judicial
mind so impressed his fellow
workers that he was assured
that if he would permit his name
to be used he would receive a
cordial support in the bouse and
the vote given him, was the
justification of that promise.
Mr Shipp was married several
years ago to Miss Elizabeth
Gasque, daughter of Rev S S
Gasque of Williamsburg county.
He is the father ^>f one little
girl.
In his family there are two
married sisters, Mrs Samuel
Sanders of Georgetown, Texas,

ana Mrs jonn m neoo 01 ueittown,
Tenn, one brother, Albert
W Shipp, a merchant of Nash*
' ville, and two unmarried sisters
Misses Nannie and Susie Shipp,
who still live at the old family
home in Marlboro county.
The recent endorsement of
the Florence bar expressed the
, high esteem in which Mr Shipp
is held in his home town; the
personal interest that every

OPERA HOUSE FOIIAUT OPENEB.
'
Se?gar Prince Opera Ca. Last Veeft
aid Osaai Stick Co. This Week.
Since last week, when the
Thomas Opera House was form- /
ally opened with the comic opera
"Said Pasha," presented by the
Beggar Prince Opera Co, the
amusement-loving public of
Kingstree has been regaled with
more high-class attractions than
ever before in the history of the
1 count}'. Probably nowhere in
South Carolina, in a town of thl
same size, is there as pretty and
commodious a play bouse
King9tree's hew theatre; The
scenery is admirable and every
" bit of it was painted right here
in town. To one who has not
! seen it a half dollar would be
well invested just to see the neW
opera house and the scenery, regardless
of the play. To Mr P ^ C
Thomas Kingstree is iudebted
for this handsome acquisition to
1 the town and in appreciation of
his enterprising spirit a liberal
patronage should be given to his
bijou opera house.
In Said Pasha, on Thursday
night, the Beggar Prince Opera
j Co played to a good house, there * ,
i being present about 300 people.
This pleasing little opera was
well received and those who attended
expressed themselves as
well satisfied with the performanno
On tho rmonincr nicrhfc
i *"v "i e> ?
quite a number was present from
Greelyville, and also there were
noted many from Indiantown,
Salters, Cades and elsewhere?
During- this week the Osman
Stock Co,has held the boards for
three nights: Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday. On Monday
night the play was "A ^ool of
Fortune," and a well-filled house
greeted them in the initial performance.
Between the acts a
number of specialties was intro
duced, all of which added much
interest to the performance.
The work of Mr Willis, the cartoonist,
is especially commendable.
Tuesday night the Osman
Company gave "The Counterfeiters"
and Wednesday night
"Devil's Lane," both of which
were liberally patronized by well
pleased audiences.
