The story of the play: Hardress Oregan meets and falls in love with
Kily O’Connor, the "Colleen Hawn.” and iB secretly married to her. His
mother desires that he take for his wife his cousin, Anne Chute, who is
wealthy and who will provide money to raise the mortgage from the Cre-
gan estate, Danny Maun, a simple minded cripple, devoted to Hardress
senses the situation and seeks to relieve his master of the low-born wife
that be may marry the heiress.
In his zeal, Danny decoys the Colleen out to the rock in the lake and
attempts to drown her. In the darkness he is shot by Myles na Ooppleen,
who mistakes him for an otter. When attempting to retrieve His game,
Myles discovers something white in the water, which leads him to rescue
the Colleen.
Danny Mann, though desperately wounded, manages also to escape
death and finds liis way to Eily’s cottage at Muckross Head, where ten days
after he comes to his senses and confesses to drowning the Colleen. This
confession leads to an attempt to arrest Hardress Cregau just as he is about
to be married to Aune Chute, upon the charge of having incited the crime.
But in the confusion, Father Tom, to whom the confession was made, My
les and the Colleen enter, and the affair is cleared up. Hardress acknowl
edges Eily as his wife and his ambitious mother accepts her, which brings
the story to a happy ending. ’

9E TALLULAH FALLS
The heavy and incessant rains of
last week caused all the streams of
the county to overflow.
The bridge over Littlo river be
tween Baldwin and Putnam coun
ties was washed away and a number
of bridges over smaller streams in
county either gave way or were dam
aged.
The Oconee river reached the high
est mark attained since the great
freshet of eighty-seven, and became
a vast body of water. Communica
tion with the east side of the river
was practically cut off, and only a
few crossed to the bridge in boats.
The roadway recently built was cov
ered with water, but stood the test,
and only the surface was injured.
The great body of water presented
an attractive sight, and our people
flocked to the river’s edge all day
Saturday’ and Sunday to view it.
Fishing Creek also overspread the
adjoining low lands.
The freshet of 1912 will long be re
membered.

MaJ. Palmer Will be Here, and An Address on This Important
Buster Rogers Caught, and it;
Looked for Awhile as if He
Would Be Lynched.
Last Saturday niglit shortly after
seven o'clock two young ladies of
tai:, c ‘ v were going to their home on
North Wayne street, and when they
r adud the corner just this side of the
ice factory, a negro suddenly approach-
id them, and caught one of the young
ladies around the neck with one hand,
and placed the other over her month to
keep her from screaming. The scerams
of the other young lady, however,
frightened the negro, and he lau off in
the dark (the electric lights were not
burning at the time) before two young
me’ 1 , who had heard the screams, could
rush across the street.
Tic young ladies were badlv fright-
i- d and hastened to their home, ltel-
•> of the young lady and the police
notified. As the news spread a
d-n-:: .uiation to wreak summary jus-
r lie guilty, it' he could be caught J

drscrip’ion” of the negro, but evidence.

H’lgi r> as the guilty party. He was
caught, and questioned closely, but de
nied his guilt. He, however, gave tho
name of two negroes, one of whom, he
stated, he saw running from the direc-
hnn, T hese negroes were caught, but
tin y gave an account of themselves.
Rogers was carried down towardis the
river bv the crowd, and was giv*n a
strapping. He was then bronght back to
tiie business part of the city, and turn
ed over to the police, who locked him
“P in the city barracks.
Tho crowd remained on the streets all
'•ight, and later on came near reaching
a positive-decision to lynch Rogers any
Wa . v > but the council against it prevailed
88 the evidence ngaiust him was not
considered strong enough to remove all

The revival services which have
been in progress in this city for the
past three weeks closed Sunday
night with seryices at the Methodist
church.
The church was tilled to its utmost
capacity, every available space be
ing occupied, and many people wore
turned away from the doors. It is
estimated that it was one of the larg
est gatherings that ever assembled
iu^the city.
Mr. Wright preached a most appro
priate and timely sermon oi ‘‘Christ’s
Power to Keep His Followers.” The
stfrinon received the closest attention
of the large congregation.
Tho ministers of the city expressed
in a few most appropriate remarks
their appreciation of the work done
by Mr. Wright anil the assistance
rendered by Miss Harbison by her
sweet singing. Mr. Wright expressed
the great pleasure he hHil eujoyed in
being in the city doing Ins work and
for the kindly spirit that had been
shown towards him and Miss Har
bison.
‘‘God Be With You ’Til We Meet
Again” was sung and the benediction
pronounced. Thus was brought to a
close one of the most successful re
ligious services ever held iu Milledge
ville.
Services were held tho past week
at the Bapti.it church, and in spite
of the inclement weather, the people
thronged to the ccurch, thus shi w-
iug their deep interest.
Sunday morning Mr. Wright
preached at the State Farm. On
Sunday afternoon services for men
were held hi the Presbyterian church
to a congregation which tilled tho au
ditorium. Interest was shown and
the services were most effective.
Later in the evening Mr. Wright
went to the G. N. & I. College and
talked to the young ladles.
Mr. Wright, iu many respects, is
one of the most effective revivalists
that ever preaehed in this city. He
believes in a simple presentation of
the word of God He appeals to the
intellect of his hearers, and points
lout to them the truths of the Bible,
always stressing the importune of
