A Chicago correspondent Of the New
York Times says:
"Syncopations, rag time, coon songs,
that's the natural sequence. Just to
think that Wagner Beethoven and
Strauss were the real originators of
the latter-day ditties that make such
frequent use of Babe" and Honey
and Nanny"
This is what Nine. Nordica said re-
Gently when asked if it We're true that
her latest repertoire includes coon"
song.
ITO be serious" she continued, rag
time" is only an eXaggeration of the
syncopation movement. Its flavor is
distinctly American. Exaggeration is
a national American trait. That's
what makes our American wits so
much funnier than those Of anywhere
else. 1t is a cultivation of a sense of
the ridiculous. 1t is true that I am
singing a negro melody sing it as
an encore, and 1t has made the biggest
kind Of a hit"

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
REUNITED AND WORKING
CONTINUED From Page one0

w to Republican voters Of the ward as
Alfred w Rose, always recognized as
a Democrat and man who has been
nominated for high offices by the local
democracy, was present and made
speech in which he said he voted for
Mayor Philip J. O'Connell last year nut
he has kicked himself ever since ana
this year he proposes to vote Tor Ed
ward F. Fletcher because he knows
him through and through as man OF
good habits and one who Will make a
good mayor.
The meeting was held in one of the
schoolrooms and it had its laughable
side when the big six footers tried to
get out of the children's seats to say
good things about Mr.. Fletcher. The
assembly organized with Henry L.
Parker, Jr., as chairman and Marvin
M Taylor as secretary, and before get
ting down to the real business of the
meeting Mr. Parker asked for express
sions of opinion and reports from all
! the sections of the ward.
Speeches were made by James Hunt
| A. e. Hayer, John Law, Edward M
| Woodward, Col Henry e. Smith, A.
w. Rose, John r. Back Dr. George F.
Balloon, Daniel A. Harrington, Julian
F Bigelow, Hon Henry l.. Parker,
Frank Leake, Charles F. Marble,
Frank M. Heath. Arthur o. Knight
Fred N. Cooke, Michael p. Kennedy
and A. F. Baker.
Mr.. Fletcher was endorsed on all
sides as an ideal candidate about
whom the Republicans of Worcester
can rally with every feeling of secur-
ity that he will reunite all the factions
in the party and at the same time give
the city a good administration The
Democrats are advancing as an argu-
ment for the reelection of Mayor
O'Connell that he has given the city
a good administra ton and there are
some Republicans who are talking the
same way. The speakers wanted it to
go out from the meeting that they have
a better man for mayor than Mr..
O'Connell and it is the duty of every
Republican to vote for the party can
didate, Mr.. Fletcher. The speakers
who have heard these stories about
Republicans who are leaning toward
Mr. O'Connell urged the members who
are true to the party to get after these
men and show them the error of their
ways and this can be done only by
work.
Arthur o. Knight reported that in
the big Norcross shop, he has found
90 men who voted for O'Connell last
year who will vote for Fletcher this
year. Michael p. Kennedy said he has
seen several men, including good
sprinkling of Democrats, who voted
for O'Connell last year, who are with
Fletcher this year.
After listening to the reports from
the different sections of the ward, the
meeting got down to work by dividing
the voting lists into streets and dis
tributing them among those present
to see the voters and get them to the
polls TO vote for Mr.. Fletcher.

EVIDENCE THAT
MISS STONE LIVES
Letter Has Been Received Stating
That Both Prisoners Are Living
and That Brigands Demand
Full Ransom

Sofia, Nov. 29.-With reference to
the reports of the death of Miss Stone
the government holds that if the bri-
gands, exasperated by the delay have
murdered Miss Stone, Mr.. Dickinson,
the diplomatic agent Of the United
States is responsible for the delay, and
not the government of Bulgaria. The
latter has not interfered with Mr.
Dickinsons emissaries, nor moved
troops after Mr.. Dickinson had opened
communication with the brigands.
According to a letter dated Dubnit-
"a, Nov. IS, Miss Stone and Nine.
Tsilka are still alive. The letter in
question further says that at a recent
meeting of the committee held in Dub
nitza, it was definitely decided not to
kill the prisoners upon any preteXt
whatever. Nevertheless, the committee
insisted upon the payment of the full
amount of the ransom.
A suggestion is current in political
circles here to the effect that the Uni
ted States should force Turkey to p&&.
the balance of the ransom and. as
soon as the prisoners are in safety,
force Bulgaria to punish those per-
sons guilty of their abduction.

State Fair Finances.

Columbia correspondence News
and Courier; A meeting of the pre-
MUM committee Of the South Caro-
lima Agricultural and Mechanical
Society was held here last week, and
some important changes in the pre-
miums wore decided upon. Last
year the premiums amounted to
$1,000. This year they will carry
$4,000. The increase will be made
in the cattle, sheep and swine de-
partments. The increase of $1,000
in the amount Of premiums is made
because Of the financial prosperity of
the society, and it will greatly in
crease the number of exhibits and
insure a more representative display
of the resources of the State.

Tillman's Popularity.

In spite of Senator 'riIlman's wavs
and manners, which at times are
somewhat "blunt," there is probably
no Senator who is more generally
liked than the South Carolinian by
his associates. This was brought
out forcibly in the Senate the other
day during a discussion of the ship
ping bill between Senator Hale, Of
Maine, and Senator Tillman. Scna-
tor lialc Is as entirely different in
manner, temperament and in oycry
other respect as can be imagined.
Yet when Senator Tillman stated
that he had the greatest respect for
the Maine Senator, and added, 81
hope the Senator from Maine likes
me-" Senator IIalcrcspondcd quickly
and heartily, in tone about which
there could be no mistake: I cer-
tainly do like the Senator from
South Carolina" This sentiment Of
Senator Hale is shared By doubtless
all OF the Senators, and, as Senator
stated, he is always on good
terms with cvcrybody.-W Washington

Spinning.

This is q beautiful poem written by
Helen Hunt jackson, born in Amhorst,
Mass, 1881; died in San Francisco, 1885.
Like blind spinner in the sun,
troad my days;
know that all tho threads will run
Appointed ways;
know each day will bring it's task,
And, being blind, no more I ask.
do not know the use or name
OF that spin;
only know that somo ono came,
And laid within
My hand the thread, and said, "Sinco you
Are blind, but one thing you can do"
Sometimes the threads SO rough and fast
And tangled fly,
know wild storms are sweeping past,
And fear that
Shall fall; but dare not try to find
A safer place, since am blind.
know not why, but am sure
That tint and place,
In some great fabric to endure
Past time and race,
My threads will have; so from tho first,
Though blind, never folt accurst
| think, perhaps, this trust has sprung
From ono short word
Said over me when l was young
So young, heard
1t, knowing not that Gods name signed
My brow, and sealed mo his, though
blind.
But whether this be seal or sign
Within, without,
1t matters not The bond divine
l never doubt.
know Ho set mo here and still,
And glad, and blind, wait His will.
But, listen, listen, day by day,
To hear their tread
Who bear the finished web away,
And cut the thread,
And bring Gods message in the sun,
Thou poor blind spinner, work is DONE"

Every cornfield should be planted in
COW peas, even if the peas have to be
bought at high prices. The last
plowing should be done as the plants
begin to shoot the tassel and silk.
Let every farmer pay more attention
this year to his corn crop than ever
before. Plant sufficiency for home
use either on uplands or in the rich
bottoms. The price of cotton will
take care of itself and always be re-
muneratiye to every man who raises
supplies needed at home and puts
upon the cotton crop only the burden
il should bear.
