Three Events.
The Opera House Will Be Opened
For The Next Three Nights
All Good AttraCtlons-Opera
Toni0hf

Tonight.
Tonight the Andrews Opera compa-
nv will sing that popular and tuneful
opera MARTHA The company arriv-
ed this morning over the Santa Fe and
everything is IN readiness for a grand
production this evening. Miss
Catherine Lee in the character of
"Lady Harriet" is said to be very en-
tertsining. The chorus is very fine.
1t is we'll balanced and gives the best
of satisfaction. The sale of seats for
this Performance has been unusually
large and it is very evident that q
large crowd will witness this produc-
tion.
Mdhdra'S MlnStrelS.
The attraction tomorrow night will
be Mahara's Minstrels, 'sa company of
thirty-6ve people. and one of the swell
est in the business. The Mahsra Broth
ers have made study of the negro for
years and know just what the theatre
going public want. Their company is
a pick from the best colored profession.
Only the very best of singers are en-
gagged" It is considered that for real
sweet singing the colored race excel
their white brothers and the Mahara
show is no exception to the rule.
Hoyt's Contented Woman.
Wednesday night the attraction at
the opera house Is Hoyt's Contented
Woman and it needs no recommends
tion to the public. Charles Hoyt, the
recognized king of American farce
comedy writer's, has written and pro-
duced score or more of comeoy sue
cesses, but from all accounts his great
est success both from an artist and
financial standpoint is his COM
edy ga Contented Woman"
which ia satire upon the wo-
man in politics and the law
which give them the right to vote and
to hold office. While ga Contented
Woman" Is distinctly different from
GA. Milk White Flag" "a Texas
Steer" or ga Trip to Chinatown"
now that he has reconstructed and re-
vised it, it is said to be funnier and
more entertaining than any of the 9TH
err comedies which have emsnated
from his prolific brain.

There was a wholesale Jail deliv.
cry at Florence on June ooh. Among
the escaped prisoners were two muir
derers, one of whom was to have
been hanged on July 7th. The es-
cape seems to have been deliberately
planned and was successfully exc
cuted. Horace Brunson, a little ne
gro thief, was the instrument used
in efecting the escape. He was told
to carry the prisoners their dinner,
lock the doors and bring back the
keys. He did as he was bid except
as to locking the doors, which he left
closed but unlocked. At a time
when no one was in the Jail but the
wife of the jsilor, the prisoners
made a dash for liberty, jumped over
the Jail fence and made their escape
into some woods near by. The alarm
was given and pursuit was begun
with blood hounds, but up to the last
accounts not one of the fleeing c1imi-
nails have been recaptured.

1t is alleged that a deal is now on
and will soon be consumated. It is
proposed to consolidate three great
railroad systems, namely, the Sea-
board Air Line, the Georgia and
Alabama and the Florida Central
and Peninsular r ilway. The Flori-
da Central and Peninsular runs from
Columbia, through Savannah to
Jacksonville. The Seaboard Air
Line is arranging to build a link
from Cheraw, to Columbia, thus
connecting the Seaboard Air Line
with the Florida Central, thereby
securing a through line from New
York to jacksonville and making a
strong combination to compete with
the Southern Railway.

Work on the Columbia and Savsn
nah extension of the Southern Rail
way was begun at Cages, in this
county, last week and we under
stand, that the work will be pushed
rapidly to completion. The coming
of this road through the section of
our county it is proposed to traverse
means much to US. Aside from the
matter of the increase to the county
revenues which will arise from the
taxes on the railroad property, it will
open up a country that has hereto
fore been considered backward in
the march Of progress and whose
lands were of but little commercial
value because of its isolation and
lack of transportation facilities.
When this road is completed a
changed condition of things will be.
witnessed there. Opportunities will
be afforded for the investment Of
capital; new industries will spring
up and towns and hamlets will mark
the passing of years.
There are now some eligible sites
for opening business in that section
and no doubt those who know a
good thing when they see it will
seize the opportunity and "strike
while the iron is hot" The value Of
real estate will be enhanced and
there will be such a era OF prosperity
never dreamed Of by the most san
suine inhabitants. W. have reliable
Information that the road crosses
the Orangeburg dirt road, beyond
the Dunbar road, on the Popell
land; thence near John Wise's to
Cecil Crafts, through James c..
Forts land for three miles; thence
10 the Howell and Harth's old land
and to the right of Cedar creek to
Harsey's Bridge on the Edisto. Not
withstandipg these blessings which
inevitably follow in the wake Of these
forerunners, or advance agents, Of
Christian civilization, we find per.
SONS who are eternally croakipg about
the graspiDgs of these monopolies,
when the facts are that there are not
more liberal people than these rail-
roads; but they spend their money
wisely and judiciously.

We unintentionally omitted to
mention that State Superintendent
of Education J. J. McMahap, was in
town on Friday Of last week, and
took part in the commencement ex-
ercises of the Lexington Classical
Institute.
In the afternoon he addressed the
teachers of the county in which he
gave them much excellent advice.
In brief he urged the necessity OF
csntralizing and charging the
schools, frightening the school term
and the employment of better teach
ers at higher salaries in order that
the best results might follow. He
spoke of the summer schools and
urged it as a duty the teachers owed
to the patrons, scholars and them
selves to attend their sessions and
better equip themselves for a more
intelligent discharge of their duties.
It was a plain, common sense talk,
filled with practical ideas for The
guidance and instruction of teachers.
In the evening at the court house,
he addressed the scholars Of the Iu.
s%titute. which a replete with
golden thoughts of the characteris-
tics which would constitute the CON-
ing man and woman, and to fall
below the model would be doing an
.irreparable injury to those, who failed
to come up to tho standard. lie
urged each II of the pupils to
strive to attain unto the high life
developed by the light OF progressive
intelligence and The requirements OF
a 0 advanced state of mora!
aud religions obligations. He ad-
vised the establishment Of a Graded
School here, with q longer school
term and a full corps of teachers.
Mr.. McMahan is a young man
we'll qualified in every particular to
guide and direct the educational in
terest of the State and already the
free school system has taken on a
new impetus which will make it
more popular with the masses.

Murrell's Home Coming.
Reception by Aged Parents Was
Sad.-CAn't Explain How He
Feels.

Feels.
Special to the State.
Edgefeld, June 15-Young Whit
field MurrelI, who was yesterday
pardoned by Governor McSweeney,
reached here today. His health is
shattered and be is almost a phys
ical wreck. The pardon meets with
the hearty approval Of the people Of
the county, and the young man was
congratulated on all sides upon his
arrival. His aged parents were
completely overcome when he reach
ed home, where in addition to his
father and mother, his sisters and
brothers and friends had gathered to
await his coming. For 10 long
years be has l%anguished in prison
steadfastly proclaiming his inno-
cence. His co-defendant, William
Carpenter, now in the penitentiary
for life, has always claimed AMI
sworn that Murrell had nothing
whatever to do with the killing Of
young Yonce, and the jury who con-
victed him, realizing the terrible
mistake they had made, signed the
petition for Murrell's pardon.
Whitfield Murrell left Edgefeld
June Is, 1889 for the %penitentiary, a
beardless boy of 16, curly black hair,
handsome clear cut features adorned
with a bright and expressive eye.
Ga June 15.h, 1890, be returns, and
few even of his closest friends recog-
nized him, so great has been the
change. When asked how he felt
upon being get free, he replied with
a tone of sadness, "God only knows.
I cant describe it. NJ living
mortal can describe it. Think of
confinement in a tomb for 10 years;
think Of hell with it's most revol; ling
horrors, and then to be set free, to
breathe fresh air, to hear the birds
sing, see the flowers bloom, to be
again by the side Of my dear aged
father and mother-their kindly
voices to cheer me up instead Of tie
clang Of the iron door and tread Ct
the guards TO depress me. Think Of
these things and you may in a way
imagine how I feel"
Murrell speaks in the highest
terms Of the present officials of the
pe~nitentiary: says they are the best
that have been there since his con-
6nement. DR.. Pope, the former
physician of the penitentiary, be COM
