"GRAUSrARk"


Notwithstanding the inclement
weather a good-sized audience saw
Graustark played at the opera house
Tuesday night and those who braved
the elements were we'll repaid by
the admirable rendition of the play
based upon George Barr McCutch-
con g we'll known book.
The interest in the play holds
throughout the two hours of the
performance and the dramatic eli
makes and thrilling situations set
the nerves a-quiver with sympathet-
ic emotions.
The cast includes several pretty
women handsomely gowned, and
they had more than good looks and
pretty costumes. In fact, most of
the players, ten in ali, showed his
trionic talent, the dead ones" be-
ing the exception.
The Graustark company carries a
lot of special scenery, but the size
of the local opera house precluded
the display of most of it. What
they could use was very attractive
and enhanced the interest of the
play.
Messrs Alsbrook, Spiegner and
Jacobs. the opera house lessees, are
to be congratulated on securing
Graustark and if they maintain a
standard of such high-class plays the
amusement loving public should en-
courage their efforts by liberal pa
tronage.

BENSON BRIEFS.
Auspicious School Opening--'
Farmers Making hay.

Benson, October 1.-THE Cedar
Swamp Graded school opened its
doors for work Monday morning.
This is somewhat later than some
schools for the beginning of work,
but the earnestnesS manifested by
patrons. pupils and teachers bespeak
a prosperous term for the coming
year. Numerous patrons were present
to welcome the new corps of teach
ers, giving them the assurance of
hearty support in the important work
in which they are engaged training
the minds and hearts of the bright
little boys and girls entrusted to
their care. Prof S A Mccullough, of
this place, is principal; Misses Flea
nor Epps of Kingstree and Hortense
Peak of Edgefeld are assistants.
The farmers are making hay and
gathering corn, leaving the cotton
to rest awhile till the price changes
for better or for worse. There is GER
tainly a fine crop of hay--a valuable
natural product of the soil-made
without labor, and all that is neces-
sary is to harvest it; yet next year
some people will be buying Western
hay at $50 to s25 the ton.
The corn crop is fairly good and,
| if the writer is not wrongly inform
ed, the swine herds are sufficient
among the neighbors to make hog
and hominy" no scarcity.

spread open on the ground and baited
with small dried fishes, in the midst
of which is placed a tame eagle The
decoy naturally begins to devour the

have alighted and are feeding the
hunter, from his hiding place two or
three hundred yards distant, quickly
closes the net by means of cords and
thus captures the eagles.
Eagle hunting is very lucrative. The
feathers are used in the manufacture
