ANDERSON, Feb. 16.--A destructive

one store and unroofed another and
blew down four houses in the mill viii
lage and other lesser damage.

The Injured are Edgar Donald, II
years old, son of j. r. Donald, and a
IL years old son of Otis Stone, o con-
tractor.
j. w. Shirley's furniture store was
blown down and Mr.. Shirley was

The killed and injured persons had
stopped in the store to escape the pass
ing storm and were caught when it
collapsed. Shirley's store was two
story brick structure and had just been
completed, and stood on lot to itself,
just below the bank. His stock of
furniture is q total loss.

this afternoon.
At Spartanburg. the large street

molished. The roof fell in, injuring
two cars. The employees about the
premises narrowly escaped. A number
OF small houses, trees, telephone aud

KILLED ENEMY in
COWARDLY WAY.
Henry Jacques Assassina-
ted i'm COIletOn.
SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Allen Adams was the
Slayer.
Dead Man was Quiet and Peaceable
Person-Adams Had q Bad
Reputation.

Last Wednesday morning about IL
O'Clock, near Cottageville, in Colleton
County, Allen Adams laid wait for
Henry Jacques and with shot gun
sent a load of buck shot through his
neck, instantly killing him. Jacques
was on his horse and never knew what
struck him.
Adams and Jacques had difficulty
Christmas. Mr.. Jacques was quiet,
peaceable man, while the reputation Of
Adams in his community for peace and
order is not good.
The killing is greatly deplored. Jac-
ques leaves wife with eight children,
several of them small. The sympathy
of the people is with Jacques.
Adams has surrendered to Sheriff
Owens.

A Lreditable Performance.

The popularity of the book play is
widespread. Those who read the
books Of the day acquire a familiar
ity With the characters, and their
Imagination pictures them so vivid
ly that they long to see these char
acters in play and greet them as
old friends. And when a book like
Florence Marryat's "Her ONLY
Sim is read the characters Of Della
Morley, Adolphus Bond. the lawyer,
and Miss Dora Strong, the spinster,
appeal so strongly to the reader that
desire Is at once aroused to see
them amid their varied surround
ings. The leading role was giveu
an artistic portrayal by Miss Julia
Gray. The character Of Della Nor
ley gave Miss Gray an excellent op-
portunity for displaying her ability
a. an emotional actress. The parts
of Joseph Morley, the dissipated
husband, and Angus Morley, the
son, were ably handled by John T.
Nicholson sMr. Harry Andrews was
a quaint character as Adolphus
Bond and his love making to Miss
Dora Strong was almost true to
life. This last character was well
cared for by Mrs. w. V. Ranous.
The other members Of the company
were fairly good in their respective
parts. Altogether this was decided
ly the best performance seen at the
opera house this season. For Sat
urday night the attendance was
good and that the people were
pleased with the Offering was made
manifest by the generous applause.
