 Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day at the Grand Opera House will be seen Alden Benedict's clever acting company in Chases dramatized version of Marie Corelli's novel "Thelma." The play has love for it's chief theme and is interspersed with bits of detail and by-pay that go to make stagecraft so pleasing. Of all of Miss Corelli's novels '"Thelma" offers possibly the best ma terials for dramatization; it is certain ly strong in dramatic interest and pow CT. The scenic effects are lavish and surprising, the novelty of scenery laid in northern Norway affording an oppor- tunity for color effect seldom given to the artist. Act one shows the Alten Fiord in midsummer, with the sun still glowing in the sky at midnight The second act gives view of the famous Falls of NhedezgorZe Act third shifts to London, England. and act four again takes one back to the Alten Fjord, now changed to a scene of snow and dark ness. It is in this scene that Mir Bene- diets new and wonderful electric ef- feet, the avalanche of snow, is intro duced, said by many to be the most natural and realistic snow storm ever presented on any stage.

Carolina's Perpetual Candidate Stin
Running for Governor.
Columbia, S. c.. Oct 23.-G. Walt
Whitman, who has stumped the state
several times for the office of Governor
and who filed his pledge to make the
race in the last primary without the
necessary wherewithal, saying If elect
ed he would contribute $1,000 to any
charitable institution, has brought ac-
ton, at Union. for an injunction
against Gen. Willie Jones, chairman of
the State Democratic committee. res
training him from putting the name of
Hon. d. c. Hayward on the ticket for

ton against Mr.. Hayward restraining
him from running in the general cleo
ton in November as a candidate of the
Democratic party under the guise of
the Democratic nominee.
In his petition Mr.. Whitman says
that he filed his pledge within the pre-
scribed time by and according to the
rules and regulations of the Demo-
cratic party in this state.
Further in the petition he says he
has never been a candidate in the true
meaning of the word. but that he is
not averse to filling the office of Gov
IL CttIlSQ Oh the OF
broad and liberal ideas of education"
Mr. Whitman says he has exhausted
all the rights and remedies by appeal
to the State Executive Committee. He
now thinks all the candidates for Gov
ernor ought to be allowed to run on
their own merits in the general cleo
ton, and let the people decide who
they want to be Governor.
The proceedings before Judge Buch-
anan were based on the affidavits of
DR.. J. G. Going, Col. James Munro, DR..
Wallace Culp and Capt. Jas. e. Hun
ter Most of the affidavits were to the
effect that they knew Mr.. Whitman to
be of age, and a qualified elector, that
his Democracy is above par when com
pared with other members OF the Cen
eral Assembly of the state. They say
they know Mr.. Whitman is anxious to
be Governor. Mentally and physically
they know he is able to run for Cover
nor, and that he will do so, and may
make good executive officer.
After hearing oral arguments from
all the Union bar on the case. Judge
Buchanan reversed his decision.
1t is said that Mr.. Whitman has car
ried his case to Greenville before Judge
Brawley.

AMPLE WATER POWER,
Syndicate Formed to Utilize Two
Georgia Streams.

Syndicate Formed to Utilize Two
Georgia Streams.
Albany, Ga, Oct. 23.--The indications
are that at last the splendid water
power which has been going to waste
in Dougherty county for ages past is
to be utilized. On the Kinchafoonee
and Muckalee creeks, just north of
Albany, are several places that would
make admirable sites for power plants.
Power in practically unlimited vol
ume could be generated at either of
these points and set to work turning
the wheels of manufactures in and
near Albany.
Recently a retired capitalist had
his attention called to the splendid
undeveloped power on the Kinchafoo-
nee and Muckalee creeks, and an en-
gineer was sent to make a survey of
the falls and rapids known as the
Big Shoals" just two miles north of
this city. The report of the engineer
was favorable, and now another expert
who makes a speciality of hydraulic
work, is here to make a detailed sur
vey. He will investigate thoroughly
and estimate the power to be secured
py the erection of ten, fifteen or
twenty-foot dam.
1t is believed that the report of the
engineer Will be altogether favorable
and that the capitalist whom he rep
resents will in the very near future
begin the erection of a modern and
extensive power plant. The shoals
and fall referred to are in a short
stream formed by the junction of the
Muckalee and Kinchafoonee, and
there is an immense volume of water
to be utilized. Great interest is felt
here in the capitalists project, as the
development of the power would mean
great deal for Albany.
