SHALL WE FORGIVE HER.
This Play Presented Very Well, But
No Baby There,

"Shall We Forgive Her" as presented
last night at the Academy Of Music by
Miss Marie Wainwright proved quite a
strong melodrama, and a large audience
answered the question most decidedly in
the affirmative. The play tells the story
of woman who has fallen, but who af-
forwards marries happily, and conceals
from her husband her former life. He
discovers his wife's secret, however, and
an estrangement results, but he finally
forgives her and all ends well. There
are some telling lines in the piece and a.
unique character, the latter being a par
son who can knock a man down in a
just cause and utter a most emphatic
imprecation as he does So
Miss Wainwright as the wife, burdened
with her secret sorrow was very pa
thetic in the role. while Mrs Gertrude
Witty, in the rather thankless part Of
Joanna" deserved 10 share the honors
with the star. Mrs. +. Gonzales. az Aunt
Martha. did a clever bit OF character
work, while Messrs. Franklin Roberts,
George NJ. Deyo, Edward Wade, and
James Nelson were all acceptable
Richmond is lacking in talent for the
stage, as far as infants go. at any rate
The piece in which Miss Wainwright ap-
peared last night required an infant-in-
arms, and 10 secure the necessary little
bundle OF humanity an advertisement was
inserted In one Of the daily papers. There
We're scores Of doting mothers who seized
upon this opportunity TO show OF" their
babies, and that, too, in the arms OF such
well-known actress as Miss VAIN
wright. Baby-carriages blocked the way
TO the Academy during the afternoon
hours, and Manager Leath and Mr.. Rex
were beseged by the small army. IL Is
needless 10 say that both gentlemen
would have escaped from their little
box" in which they are wont TO trans
act business. II such a thing had been
possible. They were fairly caught. how
ever and a retreat was out OF the cues
ton. And after all. out OF enough babies
TO have started a founding hospital on
q large scale, not a one OF those infants
was fitted 10 nh the role. Miss VAIN
wright did select one that looked the
part" but when she attempted 70 take
it in her arms the ungrateful little thing
showed its utter lack OF appreciation by
setting up an unearthly squat.
And So" said the actress to the Dis
patch critic last night. you see that ac-
counts for the absence OF a baby in our
performance this evening"

hour after the funeral party did, and at

A HAPPY CHANGE.
Halifax County, n. c., Under Demo

SCOTLAND NECK, n. c., December
Especial )-Yesterday Halifax county
passed another significant mile-post OF
her history. The county government was
changed from Republican to Democratic
The Board Of Commissioners were 10
Quoted into office, the oath being admin
istered by Clerk S. NJ. Cory, and the
other county officers gave bonds, took the
oath of office and entered upon their
duties
e. l.. Travis, chairman Of the County
Democratic Executive Committee, was
elected as County Attorney, and with his
counsel the commissioners went TO work
at once with the routine business of the
county. Mr.. ". +. Parker was made
chairman, the other two members of the
board being w. r. Harvey and j. w.
Northngton.
Sheriff j.. A. House, Immediately after
taking the oath of office, entered upon his
duties, opening the Criminal Court as his
first act. Everybody seems happy over
the change, except the outgoing officers.
And, indeed, it is a mighty change in
the governmental affairs of the county.
Even a foreigner could have observed the
difference between affairs yesterday and
two years ago, when the Republicans
took charge of the county.
Yesterday Judge Dossey Battle, the
newly-elected Democratic Judge for this
Criminal Court district, held his frs
court. He was promptly on time, opened
court with the dignity and ease Of a
judge of years of experience, and deliv-
cred a most excellent charge to the grand
jury. He made a most favorable IN
preston and the people like him.
The people of this county are happy,
indeed, over the change of government.
