"The Sins Of The Father"

From The Daily Item, Oct 20.
The BiblicaI admonition. The
wages Of sin is DEATH" was forcibly,
yet repugnantly, presented last even
ing at the Academy Of Music in
Thomas Dixons latest dramatic pro-
duction, The Sins of the Father"
This is another play emanating from
the brain of the Author of "The
Clansman," and dealing with the So
cial and political conditions in the
South during reconstruction, but
treating it in a manner vastly diff
ferent to any of his previous under
takings in his endeavors to estab-
lish pronounced racial distinctions in
the South. Heretofore Mr.. Dixon's
endeavors have been in the direct
ion Of the preservation and mainten-
ance of Anglo-SaXon supremacy, the
domination of the white race social
ly and politically. He has also en-
deavored to establish in his The
Leopard's Spots that one drop of
negro blood makes a negro, the i'm
possibility of the amalgamation Of the
races, and the terrible probabilities
OF anything approaching social
equality.
In The Sins Of the Father" Mr..
Dixon has gone to the very limit of
racial contact. He has used the ne
gro race to lend force to the violation
of law human and divine. He has
gone back to Mr.. Sinai for the very
theme of his play, ard taken it from
the tablets Of Moses. He has pre-
scented a loathsome situation in a
manner calculated to shock the finer
sensibilities and cause the blush of
shame and embarrassment to suf-
fuse the faces of the pure minded.
The play passes the suggestive stages,
and becomes and is vulgar. What good
does such play accomplish? What
new moral lesson does it teach?
The play was presented by a very
strong cast under most adverse cir
cumstances. During the first act,
the lights alternately went out and
came on with almost mechanical pre-
cision, spelling nearly every climax.
1t must have been disconcerting to
the actors.
One Of the big drawing cards was
Air. Thomas Dixon th, author OF the
play. in the leading rcta. His mp
pearance beng uecessitafed oy the
unfortunate death Of Nj Robert
Pahr at WIIshtsviiie Beach on last
Sunday. While Mr.. Dixon appeared
little Ill at ease during the first
act and his poses seemed rather
studied than natural during the re-
mainder OF the play he rose splend-
idly to the requirements Of his lines,

DEATH.

Mr.. j. Diggs Wilder died Tues
day about 8 o'clock after only a few
hours illness. aged II years. He was
at his office in the Court House dur
ing the morning. and few heard OF
his illness until the announcement of
his sudden and unexpected death
was made. Mr.. Wilder was a native
OF Sumter and the greater part Of
his life had been spent in this city.
lie was known throughout the coun-
" and the fact that he had held the
office of County Auditor for fourteen
years Is proof that he had the re-
spect and confidence of his fellow
, citizens. He was Confederate Vet
eran. being in active service from
the opening OF hostilities until the
surrender. He went to Virginia with
the first company from this county,
the old Sumter Guards, but later
transferred to Gardens Battery In
| which he held the rank OF 1st Lieu
tenant. He was a member of and
one OF the organizers of Camp Dick
| Anderson u. c.. v. and took great
interest In all things pretaining to the
| organization. He served two terms
as school commissioner of Sumter
| county.
Mr.. Wilder is survived by his wife
and Ave sons-R. X, j. G.. r., A. II.
Eugene and Julian Wilder, all of
whom are we'll known and popular
citizens Of Sumter.
The funeral services were held
in the First Baptist church at 4
O'Clock this afternoon.
| O'Clock Wednesday afternoon.
The funeral of j. Diggs Wilder
was held Wednesday afternoon at 4
o'clock at the First Baptist church.
where many relatives and friends of
Mr.. Wilder gathered to see the last
solemn rites paid TO the remains of
their departed friends.
The body was taken from the resi-
| dence to the church, where a short
service was held. No sermon was
preached. but DR.. Brown delivered a
few appropriate remarks. telling of
the worthy life led ny the man
whose body was now waiting for in
terment. From the church the pro-
cession made It's way to the ceme-
terry. where with much solemnity the
BODY was laid in its last resting
place.
Throughout the whole OF the care
mony the rain came down in a
steady drizzle. which. no doubt, pre-
vented many from attending the fu-
neral who otherwise would have been

low, did masterful work. There
were great possibilities in her role so

furnished the bright spots of mirth
In the story so dark with sorrow.
1T Mr.. Dixon had searched the
country over, he could not have
round actors more suitable for their
respective parts than the ones chat
he secured for the play of last even
mg. The play was. therefore, most
forcioly presented and aside from
the moral feature that has hereto
fore been touched upon, no better
production has ever been on the
boards of the Academy of Music.

Negro Found Dead.
Clerk TO Co. Commissioners.

h. w. Brunson. a negro brick
layer, was found dead in a new
house on Edwards street belonging
to Barton Levan. on which he had
been working on Tuesday morning
for Barton Levan.
IL seems that several negroes had
seen the negro Monday afternoon
lying on the floor of the building and
when asked by them what was the
matter he said that he was very
sick. AS he had the appearance of
being under the influence of whiskey
at the time. they thought that he
was drunk and did not bother with
him further. He probably returned
To the house after the circus Monday
afternoon and remained there that
night.
NO regular inquest was held, but
Dr. r.. h. Holman made an exami-
nation or the body and pronounced
death to be due to acute alcoholism.
All tho witnesses testified to having
seen Brunson drinking on Monday
as he was known TO be a hard
drinke-.
