A QUESTION OF HUSBANDS.
To Be Presented at Opera House To-
night by Miss Florence
Davis.

IA Question of Husbands ap-
pears at the opera house on the even
ing Of Friday, November lst. The
story one which this drama of modern
life is based possesses many qualities
of stirring interest. A young married
woman with full sense Of the enjoy
ment to be derived from modern
forms of living is provided with a
husband who cares for her very dear
ly, but Of whom she has become fatl-
gued, because of the lack Of variety IN
his mental composition. Attached to
her long train of admirers in one who
endeavors by all the beguilements OF
which he is capable to win her from
her husband. With his object in
view, he makes an effort before the
chamber of deputies to advance the
enactment Of a bill regulating d.
vorce. This bill is under consldera-
,tion by the law makers and her ad-
mirer endeavors to place her IN a
compromising position so THAT she
may forfeit the love of her husband.
He tells her that the bill has passed.
The wife learns that this report is
false and with one of those strange
freaks characteristic of woman her
love for her husband returns.
In the meantime, the husband has
assumed an attitude Of apparant IN
difference and the wife becomes
Jealous, a frame of mind that is also
equally characteristic Of the tickle
sex. She finally resorts to subter,
fuge and suggests to,her husband that
he take her to supper and while en-
gagged in partaking of the viands sc
dear to woman's gastronomic nature
her full love returns in jump anc
thereupon sne proceeds to elope with
her husband.
Florence Davis takes the part Of
Cyprienne and gives to it all the
charm Of her personality and the full
degree of histrionic talent.
Elliott Dexter is cast for the seem.
ingly unfortunate but finally success
full husband and is credited by tn;
press with very keen interpretatio:
of the part.

Some Good News.

President J. a. B. Scherer, of New
berry college, returned Monday night
from a business trip, in connection
with the college, from Chicago.
DR.. Scherer talks very encouraging
ly Of his trip, and feels assured that
it will result in much material bene-
fit to the college. While in Chicago
he had a very pleasant interview with
DR.. Pearsons, who, some months ago,
made very Liberal gift to the institu-
tion. There is no doubt that from the
way in which DR.. Scherer speaks Of
his trip, taat he will have some good
news to give out before very long, in
reference to the college.
During his administration as presi-
dent, the material prosperity Of the
college has been very marked. 1t will
be recalled that Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
made very liberal offering in addi-
tion to the one, which has been men,
toned by DR.. Pearsons, and in order
to secure these two gifts, the friends
of the college in Newberry and in
South Carolina also raised a very
handsome sum, and did so in very
short time in order to comply with
the conditions Of the gifts of Mr..
Carnegie and DR.. Pearsons. This
liberal response to the call ofsNew-
berry college on the part Of the peo-
pie Of this community as well as the
people of the state, is the strongest
evidence of the estimation in which
the institution is held and Of how it
is appreciated by the people in whose
midst it is working.
Not only has the college prospered
in material things, but, as has been
stated frequently, the attendance has
very greatly increased and the en-
rollment this year is over two hun
dred and fifty. This is the largest
enrolment in the fifty years history
of the institution. The Alumni roll
of the college low numbers nearly
four hundred, and while it is not as
large as that Of a great many lnstltu-
tions, still it composes a representa-
tive body, and the young men and
young women, who have gone out
from Nemberry, are scattered
throughout South Carolina, and are
engaged in the various callins andpro-
fessions and have measured up well
with the graduates Of other institu-
tions. T1ey will be found as law
yers, doctors, preachers, farmers, con-
gressmen and editors, and few OF
them have found their way into the
South Carolina legislature.
The good news, which DR.. Scherer
brings as a, result of his trip to Chca-
60, will be gratifying TO the Alumni
as we'll as to the many friends OF the
college throughout the state.

 We expect to start work on the structure just as soon as the prelim- inaries can be attended to-" said Mir. Smith yesterday. '',rhe first thing to be done is to order the steel, so as to get it on the ground as soon as possi- ble. There will be no delay In the construction of the building, so far as we are concerned"
 It is believed that some of the steel can be secured as quickly as a month. The ground has already been excavated and the installation of the foundation will likely begin even before the ar rival of the steel.

DEATH OF A CHILD.
Little Son of Mir. Coleman Inferred at
 Mount. Willing.

Mt. Willing. Aug 12.-(Special.) J. Elward Hill Coleman, just 1 year old. and the youngest son of Hon Jesse A. Coleman, was buried here yesterday afternoon.
 The large and sympathetic process sion which accompanied the remains to the cemetery was a forceful mani festation of the profound sympathy left for the bereaved parents.
 On account of the severe illness of his wife, Mir. Coleman was prevented from attending to his legislative du- ties the last two weeks of the session of the Legislature and before the re- covery of his wife the little son was attacked with cholera infantum, which resulted in his death.
 Petitions are being circulated re- questing the Probate Judge to order an election to determine whether or not Lowndes County is to adopt pro- hibition. If the election is called it is likely to result in a spirited and in- teresting little fight.
