THE DRAMA.-Uuder the auspice

THE DRAMA.-Uuder the auspices
sof the Clinton High School, CARING.
tons Drama entitled "The Tyrant Of
New Orleans" was put upon the
sboards and handsomely rendered at
! THAT place, on last Monday evening.
sThe school building was densely filled
among whom were large number OF
sladies. The behavior of all in attend
ance was excellent never saw
5better. The cast of characters was
most happily made, and to say that all
acquitted themselves creditably would
scarcely do justice to those engaging
siu the play.
One object, and doubtless the chief
sone, in bringing this play before the
Epublic, was to raise q small fund to be
Expended in repairing the High
sSchool building, and the success at
stending the effort could not be other
wise than gratifying, as the attendance
Swas large and the proceeds of the ex-
Shibition considerable.
We must congratulate our good
Friends of Clinton upon their success
in the recent dramatic effort and the
rare histr!onic talent displayed on the
occasion. Of course some performed
their parts better than others, but
where all did so we'll it would be un-
Dust, if not inyidious, to particularize; !;

4 It is, or should be source Of graf
ai6cstion to every patriotic citizen OF
gNewberry, that it is in contemplation
ITO once more establish the College
sat New Jerry. Every one now sees
athat it should never have been
8moved from this place. But it was
adone with the hope, that at new
Splace, the difficulties that were to be
aencountered here, might be avoided.
aand that the institution, taking a
fresh start, might have long career
ssof prosperity before it. These hopes
ahave not been entirely disappointed.
sThe College has done we'll, but not as
swell as it is destined to do, when it
sonce more finds an abiding place at
4 Newberry, as we earnestly hope it
will. Looking at the matter from
! the standpoint of the Church, We feel
ssure that no place in the State offers
Ethe same, or equal, or anything like
! equal advantages that this does. The
ssplace is central, and in community
swhere there are many Lutherans of
wealth and influence, and persons con-
anectcd with members of the Lutheran!
sChurch by ties Of blood or marriage.
SAnd We think we can with truth say.
that the people Of the County and|
Flown Of Newberry are orderly andl
3law-abiding. We know that thcI
stowns-people are, and that there arel
fewer fast and dissipated young mem
in this town than in any other Of its
! Size in the State. We can speak!
J with becoming pride of the sobriety,
sssteadiness and industry of by far theI
slarger number Of the young men here.s
An old friend of ours was deeply af-i
fected by an incident which calncs
under his observation a short time;
since, illustrative Of the character}
and habits Of our young gentlemen!
s:Why," said he, II never saw the!

sdoubtedly, if a young man wants til

elsewhere.
In regard to the old College build
ling, skilled mechanics are of the opin-E
ion, that if taken in hand at once, what!
lis now standing may be rendered en-;
/ Stirely secure, and the building restored

that the true policy would be, not thc|

Col. Simeon Fair.

Col. Simeon Fair is no more. This,
estimable man and citizen, kind friend!
and neighbor, died at Glenn's Spring.
on Tuesday, the 18th day Of July,''
1878, in the 73d year Of his age. We;
knew him well; we have known himI
for many years, and we know that if
there ever was man who HAD the es.
TEEN and love, e,and kindly regard Of all
who knew him, Col. Fair was that
man. Open, sincere and frank in his
nature, be, early in life, won the
hearts of the people of Newberry, and
held them to the last. Few men have
lived in public life as long as he did,
and made as few enemies and as many
friends. He deserved his success
He deserved to be loved in life and
honored in death. Faultless he was
not, but his faults were generous ones,
and he was a good man.
Col. Fair was born in April, 1901,
in the District of Newbery, S. G.,
about FIVE miles from the Court House.
He was admitte. to tle practice of
the Law in 1924, opened an Office in
the village Of Newberry, the County
seat of his native District, where he
continued to reside until the day Of
his death.
During the Seminole war in Flori-
da, he was elected first Lieutenant Of
a company of volunteers. Soon after
his return from Florida, he was chosen
Colonel of the 39th Regiment of S. c.
Militia, which command he held for
several years. In 1889, he was elect
ed to the Legislature. On the expi-
ration of his term he was reelected.
In 1916, he was chosen Solicitor OF
this Circuit, which position he held:
being reelected thereto, until the year
lSGS-the long period of twenty-five
years. For twenty years, while serv-
ing as Solicitor of his Circuit, he new
er missed court, but in 1866 he was
stricken down with sickness and was
compelled to call some of his legal
brethren to his assistance.
He was a member of the Conven-
tion called by the State Of South Caro-
lima, in 1860, "to see that the State
receive no detriment," and voted for
the Ordinance of Secession, which
was passed bv that Convention, Dec.
goth, 1860.
His last public service was as a
member of the Democratic Conven-
tion, which met in Baltimore in 1872:
being delegate from the State at
large.
He leaves several children, three
sons and one daughter (who is her
self widow with one daughteE) but
no widow, his wife having died a few
years ago.
But short time ago we chronicledI
the death of Mr.. James Fair-his!
brother now joins him in the better
