THEY MADE A HIT.

The following is what the Rock Hill
correspondent Of the Columbia Journal
has to say of the performance OF our
dramatic troupe in that city on last
Thursday evening:
Rock HILL, Dec. l.-Thanksgiving
dav was observed in the usual way
here. Ali the places of business were
closed and union services were held IN
the Methodist Church. The sports
men all went hunting and the Than Ks
Giving turkey was in order. The day
was brought to delightful close with
the presentation of "Nevada, or The
Lost Mine," by the Winnsboro ORA
matte Club, one Of the strongest
amateur companies in the country.
The play was an excellent one and the
players so we'll suited their respec-
tive parts that it is hard to draw any
distinctions, but we cannot refrain
from a special mention of the acting
of Dr. David Aiken as "Nevada," Miss
Annie Aiken as "Moselle, the Walt,..
and Mr.. J. W. Hanahan as ''Jube," i"
the negro comedian. The admirable
conception and rendition of these roles
dis olevcd talent on the parts of those
who presented them, that, If cult
waited, would place them high in the
dramatic world.
The'cast of the other characters was
as follows: Agnes Fairlee, Miss Liz
zie Geriq: Mother Merton, Miss Lou
Egleston; Vermont, an old miner,
D: G. Dwight; Tom Carew, ". G.
White; Dandy Dick, ". Egleston !;
Silas Steele, missionary Of health,
A. E. Gerig; Jerden, 8 detective, Dr.
NJ. Robinson; Win hYe, a Chinaman,
Boyce Elliott. ,
Between the acts Mr.. Gerig treated
the audience to severalhumorous songs
which brought forth hearty applause.
It is safe to say that the Wlnnsboro
Dramatic Club will always meet with
an enthusiastic reception ir Rock Hill
and we hope it will not be long before
ther favor US with another visit.

LET'S HAVE A FACTORY.

Mr.. Editor: Many small towns now
have cotton factories Why may not
Winnsboro? Many think that fac
tory is the only thing that will give
WiunsLoro lift as well as The farmers
for miles around who have beef or
mutton or fruits or vegetables to sell.
But how can factory be built? The
only possible plan is by instalments'
for there is very little ready money
here But every one who takes L share
must resolve to hold on till the work
is done and persuade his neighbor to
do the same, and must not lay plans
to buy stock at half price. Ever!
man must look to the good of the fac
tory and must not set triggers to sell
his land or to get the factory built on
this side or on that side from selfish
motives. The good of the factory will
be the good Of the town, no matter
where located, anu OF eVer!oouy III
and near the town. Pull together like
Rock Hill, and get the farmers for
fifteen miles around help to pull, for
it is as much their interest as that OF
town people. We can get factory if
we want it. Winnsboro is in need OF
something. Let some man of enter
prise start the ball. Then these fac
tories are SO profitable to the stock
holders that when they get one they
soon want another. So the country Is
enriched. Start right now and be
ready for the good times, fer they will
come again. A. B. c.

MORE ABOUT THE FIRE.

Mr.. Mobley was in town Saturday
and confirmed the report about the
burning of his dwelling at LaGrange
on Thursday night. The origin Of the
fire is yvt something Of 8 mystery,
and it seems impossible to account for
it in any way. The fire started in a
wing of the house in which there had
been no fire for some time Mr..
Mo5ley signifies his Intention Of re-
building his home Immediately.
About two-thirds Of the furniture
and household effects was saved. Mr..
Moblev's friends will be glad to know
that his loss is almost entirely covered
by insurance.

A Serious BoBBERY.-Early Sun
day night, Mrs. Keller's residence on
Congress street was entered by bar
glars and robbed OF about 5000 IN
money. At the time Of the burglary,
Mrs. Keller was not at home, and the
whole house was at the mercy of the
thief. It is q miracle that no other
valrsbles were stolen. A window
paue was found broker, and it is snp
posed that by this means the thief re-
moved the window fastenings, raised
the sash, and in this way effected 81
! entrance. When Mrs. X Her returned
s. the back door was found open, and ii
rs psobabls that the burglar made biz
Y escape that way.
Every circumstance seems to indl
cate that the guilty party is some one
familiar with the house and its sur
roundiugs. It is long time since
bolder or more serious robbery ha;
occurred in Winnsboro. AS far as il
known at present no satisfactory clue
hiss been discovered, but nothing Wi!
be left uudsne to arrest the guilty
sceundrel. It seems that nowadays
bolts and bars are but poor protection
to property.

ONE TRIP CURED HIM.
How a Young Man Changed His Mind
About Being a brakeman.
J. W. C.
Especial CORRESPONDENCE

lSpetldl correspondence
HoRNELLsvILLE, n. Y, Oct. at
makes meshudder," said prosperous look
ing young man to me here today, every
time | see brakeman run along the top of
the cars of freight train. 1t reminds me
of my boyish desire to go to work on the
railroad as freight train hand and how it
was cured. My uncle was a freight con-
ductor of 10 or 10 years experience, and /,
being sick of farm life, often urged him to
take me on as a member of his crew.
''As l was a relative, he fatty refused at
first, adding that | wouldn't like the bust
ness anyway if | got a chance to try it,
/ was so importunate that after talk
with the superintendent of the division he
finally promised me the first vacancy.
After some months of waiting it came, and
right proud was / when | started out on
my first trip from here to Susquehanna.
1t was in the summer, and the weather was
fine, and laughed to myself to think that
my uncle had thought wouldn't like the
work. The trip was not completed before
| had found that he was quite right in his
estimate of my likes and dislikes.
1--WE had just passed Corning and were
rounding sharp curve when we passed a
long train of coal jimmies' going west
| was standing on the top of one of the box
ears, of which one train was composed,
when l saw a brakeman ON the coal train
sway as the train lurched because of the
curve, lose his footing and fall headlong
under the wheels of our train OF course
both trains were stopped, and both crews
gathered about the body of the poor fellow
was Mortified to find that he had fallen in
such a way that his head had been crushed
and severed from his body
He was, ike myself, a green man max
ing his first trip, and when we got to Sus-
quehanna | told my uncle that / had had
enough and would be greatly obliged to him
if he would get some other man. The farm
seemed like paradise to me after that ex-
perience, and | have never been sorry since
then that did not persevere in my design
to be freight train man.
"That was 20 years ago, and l suppose
tvery one on the liue has forgotten the in
cident, but haven't, and | don't suppose
ever shall" LUCIUs WILBoR.
