Florence. May 80.-(Specia1.)-T Shakespearan drama, Twelfth Night presented by the State Normal Col lege Dramatic club Friday night, May 2S, to a large and most enthusiastic audience was truly most successful and creditable production.
 Unusual histrionic talent was dis played and each and every member of the club reflected honor, not only on themselves but also on their accom- plfshed director, Miss Nettie Simpson. who occupies the chair of classic lit- erature at the Normal college. Miss Simpson was assisted in the arrange ment of the play by Professors Burle- son, Dingus and Nesbit, the latter hay ing charge of the stage setting.
 The imported costumes, representing that early period, were richly effective and picturesque. and the scenic ar rangement greatly enhanced the spec tacular effect.
 During the intermisslons the audience was charmed by the musical numbers rendered by Miss Lucy Ewing with her class. especially her exquisite interpre- tation of Mendelssohn's Love Song. Miss Ewing was ably assisted by Messrs. Fred Johnson, Jr., and Robert T. Simpson. Mrs. Mary Jacksons reef tations in negro dialect were given In her own inimitable style and was one of the most enjoyable features of the evening.
 Miss Mamie Haggard, 16 years old. living with her uncle, John Paddock, near Lovelace's store, about 10 miles north of Florence, met with a, serious accident late yesterday afternoon in most peculiar manner. She was lifting a tub of clothes over a fence near which was an open well full of water. In getting over the fence she fell, her neck striking the edge of the tub, the violence of the fall rendering her un- concious. She lay in that condition with her arm and hand dropped over the edge of the well into the water, and thus she was found some time aft CT by members of the family who had missed her and gone to look for her.
 Dr. Lindsay of this city was sum- moned in haste and gave her the re- quired attention. He pronounced the injury painful but not of a serious nature.
