with storm of shouts. Again the

left the white steps he tossed his type

an attempt to speak would be ventuled.
Coxey is as hopeful as usual tonight.
He says he expects to make another
trial before long. In his protest, which

AT THE THEATER.
THE New South" an Excellent Play
and Admirably Played.

THE New South" an Excellent Play
and Admirably Played.
The New South was seen last night for
the first time in Savannah. 1t is an ex-
quisite play-dealing in graphic, yet touch
ing fashion, with the results of the late
unpleasantness between the states
While not a war play, it
is tinged by the war.
The scene is laid in Georgia, in 1885.
Gen. Gwynne, southerner Of the old
school, somewhat undignified reincar-
nation of Col. Moberly, has a daughter
Georgia, son Jefferson, and two wards,
Kate and Bessie Fessenden. Jefferson is
afianced to Kate; Bessie is in love with
DR.. Lincoln, southern man educated in
the north Georgia is loved by Paul E'itz-
hugh, a lessee of conviets, and by Capt.
Ford, an army officer, stationed with his
troops near the Gwynne homestead. The
play opens with pretty scene of south
ern plantation home. Jefferson Gwynne
is candidate for congress. Capt Ford
is suspected of holding his troops ready
TO aid the negroes in any violence or fraud
they may attempt. The insolence OF
Sampson, a colored politician of the new
type, causes young Gwynne to horsewhip
him. Stung to the quick by the belief
that he is to lose by fraud the Office to
which he was entitled, the young man
quarrels with Capt. Ford. The soldier
using scabbard against sword fells
Gwynne, but while he seeks assistance
the negro Sampson kills the unconscious
man. The circumstantial evidence makes
Ford convict, and he is prosecuted by
Fitzhugh, who detects Georgia's love for
Ford. Free workmen attack the convict
stockade, and Ford, set at liberty, con.
yinces Georgia of his innocence. He re.
fuses either flight or pardon, but woman's
wit saves him from further persecution.
Georgia leases him from the state and
gives him the opportunity tomhunt down
the real murderer of her brother The
love affairs of the minor characters fur
nish the necessary comedy, and all ends
happily.
1t is a strong play. The affairs with
which 1t deals are portrayed truthfully
| and correctly. The climaxes are well
drawn, and each act closes with situa
tion intensely interesting and remarka bly,
realistic. 1t is produced by company
remarkable for its evenness. No one
| part is better por Grayed than another
and in all 1t forms one of the most de
lightful plays that has been seen IN Sa
vannah in long time. 1t will be repeated
at matinee to-day and tonight, anC
! those who see it are assured an excellent
| performance
