 The management of the Jefferson thea tre offers it's patrons next Thursday glimpse of '"The Arcadians,'' the newest and biggest of all musical comedies which has been produced by Charles Frohman 'The Arcadians'' has just ended a two year run in New York city, and comes to Birmingham with the entire cast, com pany and production which character ized It's successful engagement in the metropolis. The attraction has special in terest on account of a great cast of Amer iCan and English favoriteS, and might be rightly called the most perfect musical organization that has ever been sent on tour. The girly galaxes of the produc- ton are said to rank with the best beauty ensemble of the Frohman output
 The success of 'The Arcadians'' has been mainly due to it's exquisite music, refined comedy and the magnificent stag triumph since "The Merry Widow Twenty-four tuneful musical numbers with melodies that. are lasting, enliven this fantastical musical comedy The famous "Motter' song, which has been declared the best comic ditty since the days of Charles sHoyt, never fails to get 12 to IA encores and very nearly exhausts the comedian who sings it.

mrhe Travelling Salesman,


 ''The Travelling Salesman" by James Forbes, will be the offering at the Jeff ferson theatre next Friday and Saturday and Saturday matinee, when Henry B. Harris will send the original New York and Chicago company to this city.
 The story of 'The Travelling Salesman concerns Bob Blake, a jovial, fat drum mer, who is compelled to spend Christ mas day in a lonely village of the middle west, and on his arrival finds in t.I- presence of Beth Elliott, the ticket agent at the depot, a most congenial person. They strike up an acquaintance which soon ripens into affection, and for the first time in his life, the young drummer discovers that he is enthraled with the sweetness and beauty of a charming young lady. Through her he learns that she is about to lose a tract of land. ana he at once takes steps to protect her rights, and thereby runs counter to his employer, who has laid plans to obtain what the girl believes to be piece of worthless real estate. but which has re- gently assumed considerable value as il Is needed by the railroad company to complete some improvements they have in view. Blake jeopards his own pos!- ton in espousng the rights of the girl, and tnlS leadS 10 rlhiy interesting con- plications. The comedy of the play IS said to be of a most delicious character. MT. Harris will send "The Travelling Salesman to Birmingham with the iden- tical cast and production seen in Chicago and New York in which two cities it ran for more than a year. Included in the company roster are Frank J. Mcintyre, Gertrude Coghlan, Sarah McVicker, Will liam Beach, James O'Neill, Jr.. Percival IT. Moore. H. D. Blakemore, Nicholas Burnham and others.

Smith, sporty London caterer, with carroty whiskers, who falls from an aero- plane and lands, metaphorically, on his feet. He founders with distressing re- suits. For telling an Arcadian maiden that her shepherd lover is tickle he is soused in the well of Truth" Smith emerges.
 Simplicitas, who has changed his name and locks, but not his nature, takes some Arcadians to London on a noble mission. They are to reform the metropolis. What he actually does with them is quite diff ferent He uses them in one of his res taurants, conducted by his mildly regret ful wife, gives them bucolic surroundings, and makes the restaurant a fad. Action is leisurely and entirely dependent upon the authors pleasure. When they are ready to start they restore Smith to his true identity and with another ducking join the hands of the beauteous Eileen and the lively Jack, and the Arcadians who have been shamed by the vulgar mockery of their people return to their native land and Smiths wife, after his last ducking forgives him and takes him back home.
 The song hits of the play are: 'The Joy of Life,'' ''The Pipes of Pan,'' All Iie,'' Sweet Simplicitas," Back Your Fancy" ''The Girl With a Brogue," Ar cady Is Eva Young Somewhere, !" "Charming Weather" T Like Lincoln" Light Is My Heart" Bring Me Rose willie of Piccadly," Truth Is So Beautful," and My Motter."

HEAVY LOSS By FIRE.
Dwelling and Other Buildings On Mr.
J. A. Kibler's Place Burned On
Monday Night.

Mr.. ]. A. Kibler suffered a serious
loss by fire on his farm, eight miles
east of the city, about mile off the
Ashford ferry road, at about 9 o'clock
Oh Monday night. A six-roQn two
story dwelling house, barn and con-
tents and a cotton house were totally
destroyed. Mr.. Kibler estimates the
loss at about $500. There was only
$1,000 insurance, $500 on the dwelling
and 5000 on the barn. In the barn
were fifteen loads of corn and tops.
The dwelling had not been occupied
for the past several months. In
Tuesdays issue of The Herald and
News appeared an advertisement by
Mr.. Kibler offering the place for rent.
Almost before the ink was dry the fire
had occurred.
Mr.. Kibler thinks the fire was OF
incendiary origin. He says his theory
is confirmed by the fact that when the
fire was seen by those who first reach
ed it the house and barn were both
burning, the two buildings being sew
enty-fvs yards apart.

KILLED A NEGRO.
Mr. J. C.. Day, of Near Belfast, Shoots
Tom Johnson, Colored-Grant-
ed Bail.

Mr.. J. c. Day, a farmer who lives
near Belfast, just across the line in
Laurens county, shot and killed a
negro, Tom Johnson, IN Mr.. ]. l..
Dickert's field, in the same commu-
nifty, on Monday. Johnson, it seems
had been working for Mr.. Day this
year as a cropper, and it is said that
several times during the year Mr.. Day
and Johnson had had differences
which had led to much unpleasant
ness. 1t seems that on Monday the
negro was at work in the field Of Mr..
J. L. Dickert, and it is stated that Mr..
Day went to the field and requested
Johnson to return, which Johnson re-
fused to do, being impudent in his
manner and language, and Mr.. Day,
in his affidavit on motion for bail,
says that in the dispute Johnson
turned around, put his right hand in
his pocket, and as he drew it out in
a threatening attitude Mr.. Day saw
something he took to be pistol, and
fred, believing his life in immediate
danger.
Messrs. Blease & Dominick of this
city have been employed to defend
Day, and have secured bail for him
in the sum of $1,000. Mr.. Day i'm
mediately gave bond.

Load From Shot Gun Which Fell to
Floor Struck Little Marie Sloan
in Right Leg.

Little Marie Sloan, the 7-year-Old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. B. B. Sloan,
who live three and one-half miles
from Newberry, died on Tuesday night
at $50 as the result Of a wound in
ficted by the accidental discharge of
shotgun.
While having some repairs made on
his residence, Mr.. Sloan had moved
his family into a smaller house on the
place. Little Marie was sitting on
the door-steps shelling peas, when a
shotgun which was leaning against
the wall in a corner either slipped or
fell to the floor with such violence as
to be discharged, the load penetrating
the child's right leg and severing it
about midway between the foot and
the knee.
Drs. W. E. Pelham, F. D. Mower, ].
K. Glider and ". A. Dunn were called
in. Amputation was decided upon as
the only possible chance to save the
child's life, and it was realized that
this chance was very slim. The leg
was amputated about two inches be-
low the knee, the operation being per-
formed by Drs. Pelham and Dunn, as
sisted by DR.. Glider, and the chloro-
form being administered by Dr.. Now
er. While performed with eminent
skill, the operation was of no avail.
The child died from the shock result
ing from the wound, the doctors stat
ting that there was practically no re-
action at any time from the shock.
The remains were inferred in Rose
mont cemetery on Wednesday after
noon at 5 o'clock, the funeral services
being conducted by the Rev. Geo. A.
Wright.
The family have the heartfelt sym
pathy of the entire county in their
sore bereavement.

Carlisle showed up all right, but Prof.
Barney L. Jones had to go to Glenn
Springs before returning home. He
didn't have to go, but he went.
Any one in fine health and spirits
would or ought to feel good after the
grand time the above named set had
for twelve days, travelling through
eight States-South Carolina, North
Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Ken
lucky, Ohio, Michigan and New York
before reaching Canada in party OF
$50 people going $500 miles in fifteen
Pullman cars over eight railroads, to
say nothing of steamboats, crossing
the big lakes, Ontario, Erie and st.
Clair.
Among the large cities visited were
st. Thomas, Walkervil1e, Windsor and
Toronto, Canada; Detroit, Mich; Gin
cinnati and Toledo, O., and Buffalo,
n. Y, all of which, with the beauti-
full and magnificent scenery Of the
country, made them have delightful
trip, among the grandest sights OF
which was Niagara Falls with its su-
blime pictures of nature.
The party stopped at Johnson City,
Tenn, Corbin and Richmond, KY, and
Pennington, Va, for meals.
Among others taking the trip were
Mr.. and Mrs. Mat Coleman, Mr.. and
Mrs. Pope Coleman and Mr.. Nick
Coleman, all of Saluda.
A page of The Herald and News
would be required to describe the trip
and tell of the incidents along the
way, and then the half would not be
told 1t was the trip of more than one
life. The jokes on each other are rich.
Aside from the jolly, pleasant and
agreeable time spent by the entire
party each member thereof gained a
great deal that will be beneficial and
profitable for the remainder Of life.
And the whole trip was at very
small cost.
It will be an easy matter for the
management to get a crowd for a
similar trip next year.

mentioned travellers to Canada and
back are appreciative Of post cards re-
ceived from along the route.
