stupendous musical production, 1.-The
Silver Slipper" which ran for over
half year at The Broadway Theatre,
New York. This company will num-
Der 100 people, and will require for
their transportation a special train of
seven cars, three of which are de-
voted to scenery, etc. and four to the
company. The announcement of large
companies has become so common
that the public has become sceptical
when theatrical organization is an
nounced to carry 80 or go people; but
in this case it is an absolute fact that
The Silver Slipper company numbers
100 people, and travels exclusively by
special service. They will arrive
here by the Y. Il NJ V. railroad, and
the local passenger agent, Mr.. Rucks,
has received full instructions for
their special movements. The Silver
Slipper is without exception the
most pretentious musical production
that has ever toured the United
States. The presentation here will
be identical to that given at the
Broadway theatre, New York city.
The Silver Slipper is presented under
the same management as Florodora.

JoNEsvILLE, Nov. 9.-Last Men
day night Mr.. j. w. GaHman shot a
negro, Ed. Johnson, while stealing
seed cotton from his cotton house on
Captain A. II. Fosters place, which
event has been published in the pa
papers and which has caused some
feeling among the negroes in that
neighborhood. Last Friday nigh,
the corn crib of Mr.. G. G. Lawson,
on Captain A. H. Fosters Wright
place, was burned. The burning
was evidently the work of an incen-
diary, as it was very late in the
night when it occurred and tracks
were visible about the crib, and
matches and kerosene oil were found
near the crib, which had evidently
been left by the incendiary. Mr..
Lawson lost about twenty bushels of
corn and his wagon. His barn also
caught on fire, but was saved by
hard work. This fire, no doubt, has
grown out of the trouble Mr.. Gall
man had with Ed. johnson and it is
feared there will be more trouble
with the negroes. The negroes had
better cool down and keep quiet for
there are men in the neighborhood
who know how to deal with such
characters and they will surely mete
swift and severe punishment for
their crimes.
Mr.. Abbott Hyatt, young man
working in the gin of Mr.. J. w.
Gallman. was very badly hurt last
week by the machinery at the press.
Last week was another lively week
in the cotton market here but the
gins are not doing near so much
work as they have been doing. 1t is
very evident that the bulk of the
cotton has been put upon the market
already. There is little at the fields.
and very little at the gins.

News From Trough,

TROUGH, S. c., Nov. 9 The beau
tiful autumnal tints in field and wood
are rapidly disappearing and giving
place to the more solemn hues of
winter. The weather during the last
several days has been so cold that
fires were necessity.
On yesterday enjoyed the pleas
ure Of trip into the country. Farm
ers have about flushed gathering
their crops, a little cotton however
remains to be gathered. On the
whole, think that these sturdy sons
Of toll are in fairly prosperous con-
dition' due partly to the advance in
the price OF cotton, but more espec-
tally to hard work and good manage
ment The latter Of which is no
doubt most important because with
out this there is no success in any
enterprise. 1t is generally supposed
that it requires a man of nerve and
ability to run a mercantile
buSinesS. 1t seems to me that the
farmer, to be successful, ought
t. have as much business ability as
the merchant. Success in the tr ruest
sense is not matter Of chance, but
the result of certain causes, which
the man OF business tact knows how
to arrange so as to produce the de-
sired results.
About three miles south of Pacolet, 3,
there is Il community in which an
admirable degree of success in farm
ing has been attained. Nearly all OF
these men have farms of their own,
and while these are not extensive
they yield bountiful results, so that
prosperity is evident even to the
casual observer. Among those who
are the most enterprlsing and sue

Ben Mabry, Noah Fowler and ID. B.
