CAS- Told in the Hills" the new
melodrama of western life, is regarded as
one of the best dramatic offerings of the
season. The play is one that appeals
especially to lovers of melodrama who
have grown tired of those depicting life
in the under world of the great cities
where crime and debauchery are brought
to view, and in contrast with that class
of play the new production is refresh
ingly clean and bright all through. The
opening scene of the play whore the lit
tie band of emigrants has been sur
rounded by Indians and in danger of an
Inhalation is intensely thrilling, while
the later scenes showing the Arkansas
farm have charming touch of nature
that is made especially effective by not
being overdrawn. This new and in
tensely interesting play will be seen at
Royal hall, Friday evening, March end.

Results of the Primary.

In municipal election this is an off
year, the offices to be filled being small
on account of the hold overs. Nomina-
ton papers were fled for but two candi-
dates from each ward, one for alderman
and one for supervisor, and naturally the
interest manifest was accordingly small.
In the first and third wards the regular
nominees we're defeated. The following

Captain Kincaid, who has been as

played with the Charleston Chamber
Of Commerce. is succeeding admirably
well in his work. He has succeeded

from premonitory signs the game will
be replete with interest from the time
