Will be Seen at the Opera House
Next Week. .

Trailers had to be attached to the
cars carrying the crowds last night
to see the opening performance Of
the Wills Musical Comedy Company,
and "Two Old Cronies," and many
stood to see the performance. Mr..
Wills and his aggregation Of comedy
artists made good. That is no mean
praise when the pretentions Of the
company are considered. Mr.. Wills
effort IN the summer attraction line
is way beyond comparison with the
other shows that have been seen here
recently.
The crowd as we'll as being the lar
eest Of the season was far the most
enthusiastic and the applause ran
from ripple to volumes, when the aud
ience was not convulsed with laugh
ter. There is no pretention to plot.
The whole show is bundle Of special
ties that tickle the the funny-bone.
A shapely chorus and good singing are
features of the performance.
John B. Wills as Prof. Kreitzmey-
er and Harry Mack as ODonovan
Duff, an author, leading the fun max
mo. Wills during his stay in the city
has managed to get on to the local
situation in manner to enable him
to interlard ais dialogue with num-
Der of good local hits. These were
much appreciated. Wills and Mack
appear in several stunts. "Cut II
Out" in the second act being about
their ',i:<;. Other good specialties
we're Wally Helston and Kate. HE'S
ton in ::Mr. Joshue, Good Bye" IN
which Mr.. Helston gives an exhlb1-
tion Of really remarkable eccentric
dancing.
Mis-. Shannon and the chorus IN
"Mandy I.ou' are especially good
Miss Shannon also sang some So
prano s;1!os in a manner to bring her
several deserved encores.
A feature Of the show was the
ouiek change of the stage settlns
from a ship scene to an Indian vii
lare in . few seconds. This was ac-
companied by complete change OF
costumes by the company for the
final scene.

TO MAKE AN APPEAL
IN THE BLAIR CASE
Solicitor Served Notice Of Intention
to Take This and Byars Case
to Higher Court.

The State.
Solicitor George Bell Zimmerman
has served notice upon the attorneys
for Ethel ". Blair of his intentions
to take an appeal to the supreme
court from the decision Of the pre-
siding judge in granting a new trial.
Mrs. Blair was granted a new trial
uopn the showing made by her attor-
neys as to alleged after-discovered
evidence, although there were other
grounds set forth in the motion tor
a new trial which were considered by
members of the bar who heard the
pleadines even stronger than that up
on which the decision of the court was
based.
If the case is not given preference
on the docket it may not be heard IN
the supreme court in time for the
second trial to be taken up in the cir
cult court at the February term. Soil
citor Zimmerman will, however, pro-
badly ask that it be heard among the
first cases taken up at the next sit
ting of the supreme court for trial
Of causes in this circuit.
The solicitor also served notice on
the attorney for S. F. Byars Of MS
intention to appeal from the decision
Of the circuit judge in granting
new trial in this case. The sole grounds
upon which this motion was granted
was that the court erred in not Or

scene Of the homicide. This case vii:

HEAVIER RAILS ORDERED.
Report Filed on Work Done to Spar
tanburg and Greenville-What
Railroad Will Say.
The State.

AlC olotS'
Railroad Commissioner Earle yes
terday announced that the next meet
ing Of the commission he would move
to place in the hands Of Attorny Gen.
eral Lyon the facts regarding the re-
fusal or neglect Of the Southern rail-
way to place heavier rails on its tracks
from Columbia to >Grenville and from
Columbia to Spartanburg. Mr.. Earle
said that the order had been issued
about year ago and a supplemental
order issued three months ago, the
following letter being sent General
Manager Ackert:
Mr.. C. H. Ackert, General Manager
Southern Railway, Washington, u.
C..
Dear Sir: After thorough inspec-
tion and investigation of your roads
several times in this state, we find
the same as hereinafter enumerated
not in proper condition for the public
travel:
Line from Columbia to Augusta (so
far as it concerns this state).
Line from Aston to Greenville.
Line from Shelton to Spartanburg.
It is hereby ordered that these lines
be repaired and laid with heavier
rails by October, 1907.
By order Of the board,
B. L. Naughman,
Chairman,
J. H. Earle,
J. H. Sullivan,
Commissioners.
Mr.. Earle mas received from Mr..
Ack7rt report on the rails laid this
year on the Greenville and Spartan
burg branches. The Greenville line
had II miles Of new 75-pound rails
and the Spartanburg tracks Is miles.
This includes sidetraeks, however, and
: the commission holds that the road
has had plenty Of time to place these
improvements.
This report is not in accordance
with statement made few weeks
ago by Supt. R. E. Simpson, who is in
charge Of those divisions.
A railroad man yesterday, in dis
cussing the situation, said the inter-
view given out by President Finley
several weeks ago gave the reason for
no further improvements. At present
the road is not making the money to
carry out the plans made last year
and it would be some time before
there was another surplus as was the
case last summer. General Manager
Ackert will probably appear before
the board with a statement should
there be any legal proceedings threat
ened.

The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but if a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. DR.. Pierce is bringing
hope to the public a parallel fact; that
