Tile Abbevillc Press
and Bda,a,cr announces a change in
it's editorial management. Mr.. w. C.
Benct, who has for the pasttwo years
been co-cditor, has retired III order to
devote his entire attention to the prac-
tice of laws Mr.. Bcnct is a gentleman
Of talent and high. scholarly attain
ments, and his retirement will be a
loss to journalism. We wish him
abundant success. Mr.. Hugh Wilson
is still senior editor. He is an
old hand at the business, and is
thoroughly posted in his busi-
ness. He has never failed at anything
except marrying, and wo give him a
little more time on that. Mr..
H. .Tillman Wardlaw succeeds
Mr.. Benet. We have known this new
knight Of the quill from >boyhood.
Bright, genial and jovial, a prince OF
good follows, he will make lively
member of the press gang, and, if we
mistake not, will sustain the reputa-
ton 50 well earned by the journal
with which he has connected himself.
LOUISE PoMEROY.-The favorable
notices given by the newspapers of Miss
Louise Pomeroy's performances natu-
rally caused people here to expect
something far above the ordinary.
This expectation was more than re-
allied. Miss Pomeroy is herself an ac-
tress Of great merit, and she is well
supported. The play, "The Adiron-
dacks," was given before crowded
house on Friday night, and the univcr-
sal opinion was that it was the finest
performance ever seen in Winnsboro.
Miss Pomeroy showed her powers in
their full effect, and her support was
remarkably good. There was plenty
of fine acting, and mono poor. In this
feature, of a good support for the lead
ing character, Miss Pomeroy's compa-
ny Is greatly superior to most of the
travelling troupes. On Saturday night
Shakespeare's comedy, GAS You Like
IT," was admirably rendered and duly
appreciated. The company left on
Sunday for Columbia, where they will
fill an engagement for three nights.
We trust that when they make anoth-
or Southern tour they will not forget
Winnsboro. We think they can al
ways rely upon receiving warm
welcome and full houses.
