~ The Perle Opera company Is adVer-
Ftised to appear in the opera house this
Wednesday evening. The company
consists of 12 people, and comes with
fiattering press notices from all the
towns it has visited. 1t was al
Gaffney last week, and on account OF
the railroad washouts was forced to
Blacksburg. People at Blacksburg are
generally aware that they do not often
get first class amusements Of this kind
except by accident; but they got ad-
vices from Gaffney by telephone, and
turned out a large audience. Every
body was delighted. Mrs. Thomson, OF
the Merchants hotel, who is competent
to Judge, said to the reporter last Sat-
urday, that the company Is composed
of nice people and their piece, 1.-The
Beggar King" was presented In q
most creditable fashion. Several up-to-
date specialties are introduced. and
there is no reason for those who con-
template going out to anticipate any
thing but that they will get full value
for their money.

SENATOR Tillman says: Colonel Hoyt
wrote the last Democratic platform,
and I had to go into the primary and
defeat him for governor" Still the
senator claims that he is no "boss;'
but only a servant Of the people
"swinging on to $4,000 coat tails"
Analysis of the senator's declarations
often furnish not a little amusement.

THE supreme court of the United
States has rendered a decision uphold
ing the right of the government to levy

How any man who has kept up with
the record of Senator McLaurin could
have conceived the idea that he was
afraid to meet Senator Tillman at Gaff-
ney or elsewhere, is proposition that
is not readily understood. The only
one thing on earth that Senator Nc
Laurin is afraid to do is to go contrary
to his conscientious convictions on a
proposition affecting the vital interests
Of the people Of South Carolina.
