These selections constituted the pro-
gramme of last evening, the first num-
Der being Paderewski's original compost
ton, a sonata for piano and violin, which
was rendered in an Incompatible style. Its
initial Interpretation in this town by these
artists was anxiously and appreciatively
listened to by local professional and
plauded throughout.
The sonata as whole can best be COM
pared as belonging to the school lnterven-
ing from Beethoven to Mendeissohn, the
"allegro con fantasia" being both weird
and reminiscent. The intermezzo was
very dainty especially the run in thirds,
which Paderewski did in his inimitable
way. The finale is on the order of the
Kruetzer sonata, but more on the Egypt
ian style.
In the concerto in D minor, by Vieux-
temps, Marsick's intonation was not as
perfect in the adagio movement nor was the
expressive quite up to the standard. The
finale showed good technique OF the
French school, but weak tone.
AS an encore Marsick played the adagio
pathetique by Goddard, wherein he also
showed a lack of virllity.
Marsick was heard to best advantage in
the Polonaise by Lauh, to which as an
encore Wieniawski maZurka was given.
He rendered an adagio OF his own COM
position to which he gave scholarly in
depreciation, and which bids fair to be-
come a very popular morceau. In the
well-known piece, 'Airs Russes," by the
erudite Wieniawski, Marsick again exhib-
tied his facle and non-vigorous execution.
The audience as usual displayed dispo-
sition to applaud the melodious strains of
an adagio movement.
Mrs. Nellie Paddock Hinricks accom-
panied Monsieur Marsick in commenda-
able manner
A violin recital is already announced for
Friday evening, March 6, at the California
Theater, ard on mex: Sunday evening at

will be given. To both OF these we be-
speak all music-loving people to attend.

THE ISSUES OF THE HOUR.
A Democratic Platform in Every SEN
tence. Word and Syllable.

The following is an extract from the
speech of Hon. VIM. j. Bryan at the
reception given to him at Kansas City,
Mo-, on the way to his home in Ne
braska. The issues of the campaign
are tersely and vigorously presented,
and the speech shows the rare ability
Of the Democratic standard bearer.
He said
We are coming upon u memorable
campaign, the platform has been
adopted, the great parties haze placed
their candidates in the field and in q
little while you as citizens, will be
called upon to discuss the issues in
volved. The platform adopted at
Chicago is in my humble judgment one
Of the most splendid presentations OF
party politics ever adopted by a Ma
tiOnal convention in the United States.
1T presents those issues which in the
judgment of the delegates are para
mount in this campaign. 1t is a Demo-
cratic platform in every sentence, word
and syllable. (Applause.) A Demo.
cratic platform that carries us back to
the days of its illustrious founder,
Thomas Jefferson, and to it's most cour-
ageous defender, Andrew jackson. 1t
is p%ervaded with the spirit Of the De-
claration OF Independence, it presents
those fun lamental doctrines upon
which all true government must rest.
From time to time new questions
arise, but the principles of the Demo-
Gratis are true in all times. We simply
apply to the new conditions, the
principles which are as eternal as
the hills. And in this line our plat
form has declared hat the paramount
public question is the restoration of the
gold and silver coinage ofthe constitu-
ton. Great %applause.)
All other questions must stand back
till this great question is solved. There
are times sucn as the time to which
we are now passing when the action OF
this Nation upon It's financial policy
may determine the welfare of the PEG.
Pile, not only of this Nation, but OF the
world. Not only now, but for year to
come. We have reached u crisis in
our monetary legislation. There are
those who would bind this nation to
the gold standard, but while there are
those who would fasten an European
yoke upon the neck of American free.
men there are others who say that
this nation shall govern itself and
make its W laws. In speaking with
emphasis upon this subject, | beg you
mo- to think that we, who believe in
free coinage of silver at Is to | lack
charity for those who differ. 1t is not
a campaign in which we should use
bitter words. l have every respect for
the opinion of those who differ from
us. There are men, there are great
men, there are good men who do not
agree to the restoration Of silver. Let

CRIMSON CLOVEk.-Many inquiries
nave been made in this State with
in the past two years as to the prop
err time to SOW crimson clover, but
they have usually been made at a
time when the Information was of
no immediate use and was probably
soon forgotten when 1t was furnish
ed. The Georgia agricultural de-
partment repeats it this year in ad-
n of the planting season SO as to
enable all farmers to profit by it, as
follows: September and October,
according to locality, are the best
months to SOW crimson clover. The
ground must be put in first class con-
dition, and, if necessary, kainit and
acid phosphate applied. Sow and roll
as for other clovers. Just as the heads
begin to show in the suring it may be
cut or it may by grazed, and IL the cut
ting is stopped or the cattle taken of
in March, 1t will again spring up, per-
feet seed, and dying down scatter them
over the land, where they will remain
d0rman until September, when the
young clover will again come into life
and gradually the land. AS a
lcguminous plant it is fully as valuable
as peas OF other varities OF clover"
There Is plenty Of time in which to put
the ground in proper condition. No
farmer in South Carolina who has not
already tried the crop should fail to
give 1T a trial this year. Plant an acre
II no more. 1t is highly commended
by all agricultural authorities.

KILlLED BY
Senator TiIlman's Eldest Daughter
and Her Escort Killed in n Thunder

Miss Add.e Tillman, the eldest
daughter OF Senator Tillman, and Rev.
Robert A. Lee, rector of the Episcopal
church at Yorkville, were killed by q
stroke OF lightning at $50 o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon, while on q
mountain party seven miles fran Bre-
ward, N. G.. This brief statement con-
veys the bare facts of an occurrence
which has called forth expressions of
deep and genuine sympathy from all
parts OF the State. There was only
one eyewitness to the sad tragedy,
who vas MI. Il. G. McNeely, general
agent of the Hendersonville and Bre-
ward Railroad, and who was u of the
mountain party, standing only u few
feet away, and receiving a slight
shock from the bolt OF lightning. Mr..
McNeely's statement is as follows:
1.-The mountain party was given in
honor of Miss Addie Tillman by her
friend, Miss Addicks. whom she was
visiting. There were nine in the party
and all were enjoying themselves i'm
mensely. We were on Rich Mountain
and stopped under q tree to exchange
| horses with Miss Tillman, as her horse
was not riding we'll. The rest Of the
party galloped on ahead, leaving my
self and Mr.'Lee to make the exchange
While the exchange was being made q
thunder storm came up and we waited
under a large tree until the shower
was over
"Miss Tillman was sitting on hel
horse. Mr.. Lee was standing on the
ground about ten feet away, holding
his horse. L was about thirty feet off
q bolt Of lightning flashed from aclout
which was directly overhead. 1t frs
struck the'tree, and then Miss Tillmar
and Mr.. Lee. Both were killed in
stantly. Their horses we're also killed
The lightning glanced and knocked
shoe of the left hind foot of my
horse. | was also slightly stunned.
"Tne lightning left no marks on Mis-
Tillman. Mr.. Lee was burned on tn,
arm. The rest of the party who were
some distance ahead came back to u
and we secured q wagon and q mattress
and carried their bodies to Brevard
where they were prepared Tor ship
ment."
Miss Tillman had recently graduated
at Winthrop College, and it was the in
tention of the family that she SHOULD
make her debut in Washington society
next winter.
Mr.. Lee was a son of Prof. j. f. Lee
of Due West, and was about 25 year
old. He had been in Yorkville fol
several years, and was highly regarded
by all the denominations. His remain
YER taken to Abbeville yesterday TO
burial.
The body of Miss Tillman was takel
to Columbia, and thence or a specia
train to Trenton, where the famil.
reside. Governor Evans and hi
mother, B. r. Tillman, jr., and Mis-
Iona Tillman, with a number Of friend
from Columbia, escorted the remain
to Trenton.

Us not speak Of them in terms OF de
nunciation.
l believe from the bottom of my
heart; believe, and the belief touches
every fibre In my being, that until we
restore silver to its equal place by the
side OF gold, to the place that it occu-
pied for so many years, so many centu-
RES and so many ages, there can be no
lasting prosperity brought back to the
homes OF those who toll. They tell us
that they want confidence restored.
We tell them that confidence must
have q substantial basis upon which to
rest and that 50 long as you legislate
value out Of property there is nothing
substantial on which confidence can
rest. II they tell us they want an hon
every desire for an honest dollar, but
when they attempt to define an honest
dollar we beg them to give us a dollar
which Is as kind to the man who pro-
duces wealth as tits to the man who
holds 1t in Investment. A dollar which
increases in value is not an honest
dollar. | want you to study this uues-
ton for yourselves and want to IL gest
two things for you to think about.
They tell you that the gold standard
of is the standard of civilization
that Is their argument. If thew
tell you that, let me suggest an
answer that is complete, if the gold
standard is the standard of civilization,
why is it hat the United States, the
leader in the civilization Of the world,
q never declared for a gold standard:
(Applause.)
If the gold standard is the standard
of civilization, why is it that no ma.
tional party in the history of the
United States mas ever declared that
the gold standard is a good thing. And
II the Republicans attempt to admit
that q double standard Is better than
a single standard and tells us that this
nation is impOtent to secure it without
the aid of other nations, we hurl back
defiance and tell them that this nation
is great enough to legislate for it's own
people without waiting for the aid or
consent OF any other nation on earth,
(Applause.) Which course will they
take? They dare not take either course.
They dare not meet the issue on the
money question because there is nc
ground upon which they can stand. II
they had declared for the gold standard
they might have advocated it, but hay.
ing declared against the gold standard
theJ dare not ask the verdict of thei,
countrymen upon this proposition.
Mr.. Bryan in closing, referred to his
companion on the national ticket, say
ing: There are sections in this country
where 1t has required more heroism tC
stand out for the rights of the masses
OF the people than in the West. And
| ask you not to forget that brave MAJ
who stands upon the ticket with me
and who away off near the Atlantic
shore has been fighting the battles o
the common people as courageously az

When the old vetercss went to she
reunion In Richmond week before
last they saw along the Dan river mag4
nlicent crops of corn in full tassel and
splendid crops OF oats on the high lani
that had just been cut. The oats baye
been ruined and the food in the Dan
covered the corn for four DAYS, Thou.
sands of bushels of corn and tens OF
thousands of oats were destroyed by
high water and rain. In North
Carolina the principal streams were
higher than they have been for q num-
Der of years, and great damage was
done by the floods. Roanoke river, at
Weldon, was 81 feet above gauge. 1t
destroyed h entire crop on one Of the
three great State farms near WeIdoH.
Cape Fear river, at Fayetteville. was
90 feet above gauge, which is within
half an inch of its greatest recorded
height.

CAPACITY OF ST. PETERS, ROME.
1t needs fifty thousand persons to
make a crowd in st. Peters. 1t is
believed that at least that number
have been present in the church sew
eral times within modern memory ;
but it is Thought that the building
would hold eighty thousand-as
many as could be seated on the tiers
in the Colosseum. Such a concourse
was there at the opening of the Ecu-
menical Council in December, 1869,
and at the two jubilees celebrated
by Leo XIII; and on all three occa-
slons there was plenty of room in
the %aisles, besides the broad spaces
which were required for the func-
tons themselves.-",St. Pcter's," TN
