The Eugenie Blair Co failed to g We the per-
formance of EAST Lyme" Wednesday even
ing. The small audience that was present at
the Academy of Music when the curtain went
up was greatly dsappoiuted when the certain
was anceremoniously dropped after the first
act bad been in progress few minutes and
the announcement made that owing to the
illness of q ember of the company the per-
formauce could not be given. The box Office
refunded to all who bad purchased tickets,
and the audience bad to accept that as conso-
lation for the disappointment. The excuse
given for discontnuing the performance was
doubtless as good as could be devised in the
emergency and did as we'll as another. 1t is
the general opinion, however, and this opiu-
ion is snbstant;ated by attendant circum-
stances and remarks made on tbs stage that
did not belong to the lines of the play, that
the small audience was the prime cause of the
sudden illness of the leading man. Miss
Blair made decidedly favorable impression
in the performance of Jaoe Eyre, and it is to
be hoped that the experience Of last evening"
will not preven, return to Sumter sometime
in the future

Deborah Sampson, known to fame as
the only woman who served i'm the ReyO-
lunonary army, always has been an at
tractive figure i'm the HISTORY OF that
period. 1t lis interesting to read of that
Grave character, but much more so to
hear an account Of her Lift from TIN, Inns

was recently given at meeting of the
Charleston Daughters Of the American
Revolution by Mrs SUSIE A. Jackson. W

Deborah Simpsons own Statements to

Enthusiastically authentic. Deborah was the

directly descended from Gov. William
Bradford. She was born December II,
1850. She had no early advantages, but
by study was able to teach school in Mid
dlebOrO. She went to the house of Mr.
Leonard there and possessed herself of
clothing and prepared to enlist with

learning OF the captains cruelty At
Bellingham she enlisted as a Continental
Soldier from the town of Uxbride under

suffered less from fear than from fatigue
She shared in ali the hardshirs as well as
the gories of Yorktown, laIhored in the

was full Of adventures, but she bore her
self with fiTmness, resolution and patient
endurance. which are often Thought to
belong exclusively to the stronger sex.

customary apparel of her sex. She died
in Shaton ON April 81, 1927, aged 81

A HOPELESS CASE.


He was just n common sinner,
But he'd buy a tramp a dinner,
An he'd sort o. try to put him on his feet;
An a teller might be needy,
An his raiment worn and seedy,
Yet he'd stop an visit with him in the
street.
He made no ado about it.
Wouldn't brag around about,
Yet he did a heap to help his fellowmen;
When he'd find fallen brother,
In some easy way er other,
He would make him organize himself
again.
He had money an he spent it,
Err he give away er lent it;
Seemed ez if the more he lost the more
he got,
Made all sorts o. big donations,
Helped support his poor relations,
An he bought a orphan school a house
am lot.
Never heard o. him a-shoutin'
Ner a-settin' round a-spoutin
Bout the eyerlastin' Wickedness o
things;
But he just went ON findhn'
Deeds to do an never mindin'
Much about a crown er harp with golden
strings.
Yet the deaeon's folks OTIS very
Hard 30 say it,, they was merry
When at last death came an caught him
