Felix W. Moore in the race for Judge.
Judge L. w. Moore is a candidate for
Justice of the Court of Civil Appeals
and A. n. Moore is a candidate for Cir
cult Judge. The two are in nowise con-
nected or in conflict. AS to Judge Jones
it is presumed that he will be esatnii dlii
date to succeed himself And in this
instance it is not improper to recall the
fact that Mr.. Moore as Tramp" criti-
cised Judge Jones for the manner in
which he conducted the Nightrider trial
last year. Mr.. Moore's home is in
Union City and Judge Jones lives at
Dresden. The two gentlemen are well
known here. Judge Jones was appoint
ed to fill out the unexpired term caused
by the resignation of Judge Maiden,
and everybody is familiar with his re-
cord since the appointment. Since that
time Judge Jones name has been prom
inently mentioned in connection with
the race for Governor. A. n. Moore
is an attorney. He has practiced at the
Union City bar for number of years.
In the race for States attorney he was
a candidate against General d. j. Cald-

Columbia.

Chauncey Olcott, in Augustus Pitous
splendid production of Ragged Robin"
by Rider Johnson Young. in collaboration
with Rita Olcott, will be the attraction
at the Columbia Theater this week.
Ragged Robin stands at the head CT its
class as an Irish drama. 1t has that very
desirable element, a characteristic atmos-
phere, and a delightful little love story
of Irish life the charm of which is en-
HANGED by the Introduction of many bits
OF folk and fairy lore.
Mr.. Olcott plays the part of Ragged
Robin. Il picturesque VagabOnd of noble
antecedents, who having been driven from
home through the Vaccinations of d jeal-
Gus foster brother. Martin Darcy, ram
bles about the country as wandering
minstrel. In the opening scene Of the
play he comes to the cottage Of Andrew
Gratten on the morning of the wedding
day of Margaret Gratten to Martin
Darcy. There Is an enchanted we'll on
the farmers property, the waters of
which unite for life any couple drinking
them. Robin quenches his morning thirst
from the we'll and shortly afterward Mar
garet, unwittingly. also drinks. The fairy
spell is then woven around the lives of
the pair, who are drawn irresisubly to-
ward each other. Robin accompanies the
villagers to the house for the wedding
and the spell begins to work actively
Martin perceves with jealous rage the
fascination Robin has for his intended
bride and has the minstrel driven from
the house. There is a lapse OF three
years between the second and third acts,
during which Martin has died and Robin
has become Sir Robert Harcourt and the
possessor of vast estates. The extrava-
gance of Martin has brought ruin on t4le
Grattens and Robin is told that they are
cutting turf in a far-distant bog in order
TO keep body and soul together Robin
looks for Margaret, who has been made
free by the death of her husband. In a
dream he is shown by the fairies the
way across the moor. and. donn.ng his old
Ragged Robin clothes. he dashes through
the darkness OF the night. A friendly
will-o' the-wisp guides him through the
gloom and as dawn breaks over the hills
the lovers are united.
There is also an abundance of music
introduced, not the least of which are the
songs composed for it by MIR. O!cott. The
incidental music. in which there are sew
eral Ossiantic themes, is from the pen
of Frederick Knight Logan, who mas
been the musical director for Maude
