A GEORGIA CRACKER.
The Peruchi-Beldeni Company Gave Il
Good Show Last Night.


The Peruchi-B eldeni Company pre-
scented the dramatization of Washington
Irving's beautiful legend of the Kaats-
kills, entitled Rip Van Wrinkle. 1t is Il
play in which pathOs and mirth are
blended and gives the opportunity for the
display of fine acting. The play was
portrayed in a strong manner Mr.. Nor
tan as Rip Van Wrinkle displayed great
ability,
The scene were Rip Van Wrinkle was
driven out into the storm by his virago
of a wife was most pathetic and skillfully
presented.
As usual Peruchi was the life and fun
of the performance and his every APP
pearance on the stage was greeted with
applause. He is a comedian born and
not made. To be funny is natural with
him.
Miss Hazel Carleton found opportu-
nifty in the role of Heinrich Vedder,
Nick's son. to display her clever acting
Her spirited acting and catchy manner is
also one of the leading features of the
show.
Geo, Peters, the Dutch eccentrioue,
Emile Subers. the negro delineator, lad
the dancing of the Carleton sisters were
specialties that highly pleased the au-
dience.
Somebody may say I'm putting it on too
thick. Well. perhaps, but the perform
ance last night was SO good that | can't
resist the temptation to spread little.
The farce in the play woos 1aghter; the
pathos brings tears: the specialties spar
lle and bubble. The whole performance
tingles and enlivens and sends you home
a happier man if not a better man.
Go to see "A Georgia Cracker" to-
night. Take your wife and children if
you have any. If you have not take
somebody else's. 1t will keep you out of
mischief

last night. Congressman White, VINO
wants to sit in the white row at the CIR
Gus. and Lee Person, of Edgecombe, VINO
advised negroes to go to the polls arm
ed with rocks, sticks and pistols and
afterward denied it, assisted at the
function.
Mr.. Boyd spoke first, and for an hour
or such matter devoting considerable
time to Il lame attempt to break the
force of exposure of the Russell-Pritch-
ard scheme to bring Federal troops into
the State to supervise the election, and
intimidate Democratic voters. 1t was
said, however, by those who heard him
that he dealt entirely in generalities and
did not mention Senator Pritchard's let
ter.
The negro Congressman White talked
much and said nothing in PARTICULAR, be-
y0nd denying published report that he
was intimidated at KinSton
Person reiterated his denial that he
had urged the negroes to use violence,
but in few minutes confirmed the
truth of the reports as published. When
the meeting adjourned, he donned his
talk silk hat, stopped in front of the
court house where he held forth ut
length to Il crowd of negroes who gath
cred around him. He was exceedingly
voluable. He declared: ''Alrendy 80
new votes have been registered in my
township. and before election the num-
Der will reach 10" Continuing he
said "there will be trouble down east
and it will be serious and far-reaching"
He was so pleased with the effect of this
on his auditors that he repeated it with
much emphasis and gusto. At this
juncture a negro who wished to impress
the visitor with his Importance. broke
in with some remarks about his brother
at Santiago" This gave the ebon ex-
representative of Edgecombe his cue.

law was, that every qualified elector
should be given the opportunity to regis
ter and that he should be allowed to
vote.
As there is no chairman land it
seems there will not bel the plaintiff
and the defendant stand upon equal
rights as to the custody of the registra-
ton books But as it is not practicable
for each one of them to have the actual
custody of the same, when they are not
together. this must be as nearly effected
MS il is possible to do so. Therefore,
which ever has the actual custody of the
books. he shall allow the other to see
and inspect the books whenever he
chooses to do so, and to make and take
extracts and copies of the lists of regis
tered voters therein. These parties
nlaintiff and defendant were appointed
registrars by the legally constituted au-
thority. and it cannot be allowed that
one of them withhold said books from
the inspection and use of the other, upon
any suspicion that he may have that
his equal, in right. may be wanting to see
them for any unlawful purpose.
1t is not asked that | shall say which
one of these parties shall have the actual
custody of this book; and. if it were |

the defendant to attend at the appointed
times and place fixed by law for the
registration of voters: and it is, and will
be the duty of whichever one of them
that has the actual custody of the books,
to have the same present at such place
on said registration days; and if he fails
to attend with said book, it will be his
duty to turn the book over to the other
registrar that the work of registration
may go on.
1t will also be their duty to attend with
the book on the day and at the place pro-
vided for trying the challenges; and 1t
will also be their duty to attend the cleo
ton precinct on the day or election. and
it will be the duty of the party, having
the actual custody of the book, to have
and produce the same to be used in the
election And if the registrar, having the
