Spook Island.
The gist of this play is that foui'
girls who are attending a house party
become mortally offended at some
imaginary offense given by their
beaux and they decide to go off in
seclusion for spite, and tbe place
ehosen is Spook Island, which is re
puted to swarm with ghosts day and
night. They finally decide, though,
that they have bitten off their noses
to spite their own faces.
Accompanying tins house party is
Miss Euplieniia, the old maid, a rich
and rare character that is superbly
taken by Miss Mary Hendrix; Sarah
Jane Lovejoy, the country woman, is
impersonated by Miss Belle Means,
who is an artist and as natural as the
country woman herself; The Irish
maid, Miss Miriam Duniville, is the
"rale article" and little Mary Mac
Lsughlin plays the part of the waif
with much feeling and pathos.
The bouse party girls, Misses Maggie.-Hendrix,
Helen -Patterson, Mar
guerite and Alice' Brown, enter into
the spirit of the play with a snap.
We will have you to guess who the
dummies are their customes are well
worth the price of admission.
This entertainment will be rendered at
the opera house Wednesday night.
Interest in the Elections.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 6. Official
Washington is displaying more than
an ordinary amount of interest in to
morrow's elections for an off-year.
The returns from Massachusetts and
Rhode Island are anxiously anticipat
ed, for national issues have figured
most conspicuously in the contests in
those two States, and as a consequence
the results will be regarded as some
indication of the drift of popular
oainion concerning the parties. ' it
is possible that these results may leave
the outlook no clearer than it is at
present, but if for any r- ason one par
ty should snow decided gams in tne
voting, the tact will be eiassined as an
indications of what may happen in
the national election next year.

the Piedmont Railway ' Company,
were visitors ia tbe city yesterday
afternoon for a short time, ruking
the trip in an automobile from .Sal

the company here with a view to ox
tending the line to meet the require
ments of the franchise. They , novo
several routes under considers tMm,
but have not yet decided which they
will adopt. Mr. Coler assured Mayor
Wjagoner that his company would
not ask for an extension of the fran
chise and that work would begin on
extending the line just as soon aa the
route was decided upon.
It is said that tne officials look with
favor on tbe proposition of extending
the line down South Union. But it
is safe to say that Gibson mill iwill
also be connected by tbe line, either
by extending tbe track down Buffalo

one of the most peculiar accidents
that ever occurred here. The street
car rails there extend just above tho
road bed as they do lsewbere and
the only reason that can be given was
that the horse's foot slipped eausing
a severe wrench of his leg.
Nine members were received into
Central Methodist church yesterday,
four by confession of faith and five
by certificate. '
