"A KNIGHT FOR A DAY.
An Extraordinary Musical Attraction
to Appear at Newberry Opera
House, January q.

I" those who follow things thea
trical the fact that the bic musical
eaiety. "a Knight Tor a Day. came
to New York direct from its phenom-
email success Of 607 performances in
Chicago and Immediately gained fav-
or with the patrons of the theatre IN
the eastern metropolis to such an ex-
tent that it continued at Wallack' s
for six months to capacity business
will doubtless be ample proof of its
legitimate claim to the most tune
full score, the cleverest book and the
most delightful lyrics Of any musi-
cal piece in the past decade. It went
from Wallack's in the latter part Of
June last to the fremont in Boston
and continued there for the entire
summer and up to September these
three cities were the only ones af-
forded an opportunity Of witnessing
it.
The initial presentation was made
under the direction Of B. C. Whitney
who still stands sponsor for it and
the statement that il is credited with
excelling in perfectness Of sclenc
equipment, electric novelties and rich
ness of costumes and production pre-
viously made by this well-known pro-
ducer of musical plays will mean g.
great deal more to those who are ia
miliar with his lavishness in this re-
gard than mere idle boast.
Like all the other Whitney produc-
tions the ensembles, dances, and chor-
us evolutions have been devised by
Gus Sohlke whose cleverness IN his
particular line has won for him the
name Of the "Wizard.' DR.. Sohlke
is said to be one of the fed directors
Of musical productions who can pro-
duce season after season and still nev-
er duplicate any of his clever work.
Each number he puts on is said to be
in a class entirely by itself and he is
said to have given this his latest et-
fort several novelties which will be a
surprise to even those who are thor
ouehlv familiar with his work.
"a Knight For Day. will be
seen at the Newberry Opera House
January 9Th. A company Of 70 peo-
ple. A chorus OF 50.

Mrs. Smith has been seriously Ill

THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY.
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society
of Central Church Oldest Wo-
mans Society in South.

On Wednesday evening. III Central
Methodist church, the thirtietn aHAl-
versarv of the Woman : Missionary
society was celebrated.
There was a small but appreclatlve
audience present and the service was
entered into with much enthusiasm.
There was a full choir present, with
the exception Of the organist, AM
the singing was good. Mrs. Frank
Davenport presided at the piano, IN
the absence Of Mrs. Burr Martin.
The address Of the evening was
made by Mrs. J. W. Humbert, who
in her enthusiastic manner gave an
interesting account Of the organiza-
ton Of this wonderful movement
among the women Of the South, and
presented much valuable data. She
said that the Woman's Foreign Mis-
sionary society, Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, South. was preemil-
emily the leader Of all women's socie-
ties in the Southland. AS is recog-
nized now, there are more of these Or
CARNATIONS and societies than can
we'll be supported, yet Wednesday
night was only the thirtieth birthday
of the first one. Mrs. Humbert told
of this first organization. how that
after the officers had been elected the
women could not speak until the men
had retired. She also read the roll
of the members Of this first society,",
and many Of the name were familiar
to those present on Wednesday night;
and many are now numbered among
the sainted dead, the very calling Of
their names bringing upprecious men,
ories. Thirty years is long TIM. and
as DR.. Wolling remarked in his short
talk, cit mows down a generation. -
Besides being the first woman's or
ganization in the State, it perhaps
has done more from a financial stand
point than any other. Thousands
Of dollars have passed through the
hands Of the treasurer, and many
missionaries in many fields have
been supported by them. Truly in the
great reckoning up the women
will not be found wanting, for they
have done much in carrying the cred
stained banner Of the cross' unto
the uttermost parts Of the earth.
It should not be a matter Of lndlt-
ference to the citizens of this city
that Newbery has the distinction OF
being the birthplace Of the first wo-
mans society in the State; and the
women Of this organization should
not be unmindful that they have as a
heritage the honor Of being not only
members of the first organization
in the State, but also Of being the old
est, yea the leader Of all women's So
cieties in the South.

THE MAYORS SALARY.
City Council on Wednesday Night In
creased it From S400 to $500
Per Annum.

At the meeting Ut city council ON
Wednesday night it was decided To
increase the salary Of the mayor from.
four hundred dollars to six hundred
dollars per year. The salary Of New
berry'S mayor has been too small for
number of years, and this action
of council is a step in the right dree-
ton, putting Newberry on Il pai with
other cit.e* Of similar SIZE IA this sev-
ton Of the State.
