Alba Haywood at Opera HOUSE, "Edge-
wood Folks which will be presented here
on Thursday evening next, by the Hey
wood Company, is the merriest comedy on
the stage. It is one big laugh from be-
ginning to end. It takes its name from
New England village, and the Folks"
are some of the people that the comedy has
to deal with. AS Tom Dlllaway, Mr.. Hey
wood has a character that enables him
to display his mimetic ability, which is
very marked, to the best possible advar-
tage. His character impersonations, and
o.he- .pecialties are distinctive features ef
the performance. "Down in IDjiany" is
very clever little curtain raiser in which
comedy, pathos and natural humor are
admirably blended.
Last Saturday night, about 10 o'clock,
at the home of Mr.. VIM. Carroll, near
Pendleton, John Dickson shot and killed
Henry McAlister. Both the parties are
young white men, and were rivals tfor the
hand and heart of g daughter Of Mr..
Carroll. On Saturday night McAllister
called to see the young lady, and 1t was
not long before Dickson came in. The
three were sitting in the room enjoying a
pleasant conversation, and itseems that
Dickson, who had been drinking whisky,
began to feel its effects. After awhile
Dickson asked the young lady to SO
out on the piazza with him, ssy-
ing that he wanted to have talk
with her. The young lady very
c3urteously refused to 60, and
invited the young man to keep hia
seat and talk to her there. This seemed
to enrage Dickson, who got up and began
to abuse McAlister, at the same time tell
ing McAlister that he was going to whip
him. McAlister told him that he had no
cause to fight him and did not propose to
have row with him ut Mr.. Carrolrs
home. Dickson then drew his pistol,
shot McAlister dead and ran out Of the
house, dropping flask of whiskey at the
door. Dickson made his escape and up
to Monday night had not been captured.
Trial Justice Shanklin held an inquest
over the body Sunday morning, and
verdict in accordance with the above
facts was. rendered. The murder has
occasioned good deal Of excitement in
the section where it occurred, as the de.
ceased was popular and worthy young
man. A party is searching for the MUIR
derer, and if he Is captured 1t is feared
another lynching will be the result.
Dickson is comparative stranger in the
neighborhood, having lived there only
two or three months. He Is said to be q
native of Georgia, and that be lived at
Pelzer prior to his coming into the Pen
dleton section.
