This little district has been, from

1 tiirthplacc of the •'lsms” from th*
I South; It ts the new Bngtaod of the

remarkable power. The first secession
meeting In South Carolina was held at
Abbeville, near the house of Armlstesd
Burt (wllhtn one or two hundred
yards). In a grove th«t has ever since

within rflne miles of the birthplace of
Calhc-mi. By accident, the last meet

held at Abbeville. In the house of \r

Grove of Secession. On the evacua

President Davie and hie cabinet, the
retreat brought the party through Ab

the circuitous route of the long Kray

which he started, to die.

President Davis, accompanied by Mr.
Benjamin, secretary of state; Mr.
Breckinridge, secretary of war; Mr.
Mallory, secretary of the navy, and Mr.
Reagan, secretary of the treasury (see
President Davis’ hook-, arrived at Ab

That night a meeting of the cabinet

BRO. V>DON, Principnl. ;
F
VERvU P-TO-DATE.,
Was the Show, and Especially th*
Trapese Act.
There was a slag party hold at th"
opera house last night. In other word*
It was a men'* meeting, and they were
all there. Tho Imperial Burlesque com
pany held the boards, and they cer
tainly pleased their audience, Judging
by tb" many rounds of applause ac
corded them.
The feature of the evening was Mile.
Bertha Dorian in her "Charmlon Act,”
dn act that startled the stage of tha
metropolis and likewise the Augustan*.
It was decidedly interesting and held
the audience spellbound. It was a bit
“uptodate.” but the boys enjoyed it
immensely, and dubbed It the crown
ing event of the show.
"The Bridal Chamber” was a pan
tomime that caught the house; likewlsa
the studio burlesque.
In the parlance of the day, It was
a show that was several degrees ahead
of anything of the kind that has struck
this burg in many moons. It is the talk
of all who saw It today.
