Wsated--An Opera House.

Perhaps the necessity of an opera
house was never more forcibly
brought to the minds of Virgiuiaus
than on Saturday evening when,
after the "fall" of the new asbestos
curtain at the Fay Opera at a crit.
cal stage in the production of Mon
te Cristo the murmur of "hay-wire"
issued from behind the scenes aud
led Frederic Clarke to appear be-
fore the footlighte after the removal
of the debris with the statement
that Virginia was evidently thriv-
ing little city but that there wac
one thing sadly lacking-an opera
house. Aud that the idea wac con-
Cured in by the audience was evil
denced by the hearty applause ten.
dered Mr.. Clarke at the conclusion
of his statement.
And that an opera house is in a
fair way of becoming a reality is
also understood, a number of local
capitalists being behind a move
ment for the erection of a modern
theatre on west Chestnut street, it
being stated that the plans have
progressed to point which practi.
cslly insures the erection of such
building the coming season.
When ouch building is complete
and ready for opening. however,
there is one point the Enterprise
would cali to the attention of the
promoters-and that is the necessity
of providing special police corps
armed to the teeth with brass
knuckles and gatling guns to be
stationed in "nigger heaven" with
Instructions to keep within bounds
the caterwauls and hoodlun yells
of that element of youthful Virgin.
ians who seemingly think they own
and control the earth and that it ia
their special privilege to run it 40
they may zee fit. The actions of
this class of youngsters at the play
Saturday evening failed to reflect
credit upon their bringing up, be.
ing naught less than a disgrace to
the city.

The charge il said to be the result
of the contention; that Mr.. Jeftord
has since teopening his place per-
mttted the same to become the
resort of many children of tender
age, and the further contention that
aeide from any moral side to the
question the health conditions of
the place are not of a nature to ap-
peal to one AZ the proper haven for
the growing youths of our city.
Mr.. Jefford waived examination
aud the date of hearing was Get for
February3. From remarks made it
10 probable that he will ask for Jury
trial when the cause comes to Issue.

Register of Deeds Gaffney now has
the book and blanks for the register
ing Of farm names under the law pass
ed by the recent legislature. The
name given the farm is recorded, as
well as that of the owner, and des-
cription of the land is also entered.
When name has been recorded as
here provided the same can be put in
to deeds covering the property, in
addition to the description, and thus
in time it will become recognized
official designation for that particular
tract of land. When the name is once
recorded it gives the owner title to
that name and no other man in the
county can have his farm recorded
under that name. No two farms will
b recorded under the same name.
This should make people anxious to
record their farm name as soon as
possible.
