For the information OF the people Of

men, of fact whic. appeared in the Jcur,.uf
of last week, where, i'll what purportci 10
be Il synopsis of the proceedings of the
Town Council in case against Jane Nc
Dowell, charged with throwing rocks in.o "a
house, il is asserted that she pleari guilty
but that the Council decided To 20 into evil
dencc, and acquitted her. Such statement
Is wholly fabrication which has existence
only in the imagination of its author rs
neither the facts nor the records sustain it,
The party plead not guilty, and upon the
trial there was no testimony to waTrnnt a
conviction, and she denied the charge upon
oath. and Furthermore established q good
character. The Council could not consis-
ten,ly have done otherwise than find her
not guilty We dc rot care 20 consume
time nor occupy space in your paper to
notice further the statement of the .JOur1d!
above referred tn nor to comment on the
attempts of its Editor in two or three para
graphs to display bis wit over this peryer-
sion of facts. II is, however, due to the
pubic to know that one Of the writers of
that paper Inspected the record of the Coun-
ell before the publication was made, and
ought to have been able to understand it
sufficiently u prevent such u misrcpresenta-
tion if he had desired TO quote the proceed
ings correctly. In conclusion, we would say
that Us members Of the Council we do not
object to any action of the Council being
criticised rs it may deserve, but we do hold
that parties who are anxious To find fault
and are ever ready to arraign the action of
the Council, should at least have the pru-
dence ami iairr eSs not 10 represent the ac-

A Deserved Compliment.

The Columbia Register Of last Thursday
contains the following very complimentary
article concerning the Anderson Theatrical
Company over the signature of Visitor"
The compliment is well deserved, and we
re-publish it Tor the special benefit and en-
couragement of those interested in the sic
cess of this enterprise:
We had the good fortune to witness the
performance Of the first play of this com
pany after its organization. On the night
OF Of the 2ist of March, the play school of
Reform" was rendered at the Masonic Hall
in the presence Of a large and intelligent a,,-
diencc. We were highly entertained, nd
most happily disappointed i'm finding so
much theatrical talent, and it so admirably
adapted 10 the stage and to this particular
occasion. Anderson utterly astonishcd us
There is life in the old land yet" Each
member rendered his or her respective part
with remarkable degree of skill and ease
Mr.. Ferment especially did himself much
credit, and undoubtedly possesses great
deal of undevelcped talent in this direction
The company deserves cOmmendution for
its efforts, and Anderson should not ONLY be
proud fit, but lend helping hand. This
Is one of the innocent amuscments that adds
to place life and charms. One of the
most attractive features of the evening was
the graceful and lovely attitude: OF the
actresses Whiie upon the stage. Not only
upon the stage did we find Anderson's fair
daughters, but also harmoniously inter-
spcrsed among the large audience of ugly
men. This company promises successful
future, and will eventually become one
| among tho most respectable and noted of
the country. 70 accomplish It only re-
qnires season of proper training. We
would advise the Anderson Theatrical Com
pnny TO commence travelling and extinguish

| afford us much pleasure to be present Mt the
| rendering of the next play. Hope, how
