It Is announced definitely that the great English Grand Opera Company of Henry W. Savage will produce ''Tannhauser" on its forthcoming en- gagement of one night in Montgom- cry. The company will be here about the middle of January and 1t will be the engagement extraordinary of the year.
 MT. Savage has been in correspond ence with music lovers of Montgomery and 1t was decided that if but one opera could be produced here it should be "Tannhauser." It is promised that the opera will be sung by company of 150 persons and in the same style as 1t Is put on in New York.
 MT. Savage can point with pride" to his success in developing native his English Grand Opera Company. This organization now affords the only opportunity for ambitious young sing CTS to appear in grand opera in Amer lea without first learning the roles ip a foreign tongue. Accordingly, each year he receives applications from hundreds of candidates Thus he is able to select the very best talent the country affords.

But Ma pcleon intended Constantinople for him self: he said 1t was the capital of the world, and that Is why he did not bribe Russia with it. and that is why Russia turned against him after Tilsit and beat him with frost and snow and Ice and famine.

If one VIII take the interest in the thing to read Senator Beveridge's Russian Advance and then recall the naval and military achievements of the Japanese since last February, he will discover how danger ous a thing it Is to predict before the event has made prediction unnecessary.

Letter to Rev. E. S. Jones, waIhaIIa.

Dear Sir: In making pastoral visits,
pleasure or comfort or ease; you go
where your people live. But you have
two sets of feelings in going about-can't
help tive all have. But you espe-
cially have; for part of your business
is sympathy. Well-kept lawns and we'll
titled fields, nice homes and nice people,
are cheerful to you, as they are to every
one. Tumble-down buildings, poor
fences, men harassed by burdens too
heavy for them, overworked women, and
dirty-faced children, you may be strong
to get OH with; but you would be more
than human to find inspiration in
misery.
Paint divides the two sorts of people:
one paints, and the other don't. Or, per-
haps, the thrifty paint we'll the unthrif' y
paint ill.
To paint we'll is to keep paint sound.
There are two ways to Dit: one is bound
to paint often; the other to use good
paint
1t costs about half as much to paint
OeVoe az 10 paint with any Other paint;
for Devoe takes fewer gallons than mixed

Coon Beats Mountain Lion.

James A. McCallum has noun
tain lion that he is now willing to
part with to any one as gracious
gift. When he received the fine
looking cougar a few days ago from
friend in the Rocky Mountains he
thought that he had an animal that
could whip anything that wore hair,
but when the king of the mountain
beasts was fought to standstill the
other day by an ordinary old ring
tt L-d coon McCallum lost heart.
Til ION was seen few days ago in
his cage by Jack Cook. The lion
tipped the beam at ITS pounds, but
Cook said his old coon could lick
him.
The other morning Cooks coon
was thrown into the cage with the
lion. The fight began at once. The
lion made vicious strokes with his
paws at the coon, but the willy little
animal proved to be an adept at.
dodging all the blows. No quicker
would the blow Of the lion prove fu-
tile than the coon would grab him by
the throat and begin to claw with all
his might. He would soon loosen
his hold and jump away. This was
repeated for about twenty-five min
utes, when the lion, bleeding pro-
rusely, skulked to a corner and re.
fused to battle further.
The coon was taken out of the
cage with hardly scratch on him
and apparently proud of his work
with bis heavy antagonist. Cooks
little ring tailed animal weighs about
twenty pounds, but he says it's worth
its weight in gold.--Louisville Cou-

teachers will attend the State summer
school at Clemson College this summer.
In order to arrive at the pleasure Of the
teachers in the matter, County Superin-

ceived from all the leading teachers of
the county and about 95 per cent. of
them favor going to Clemson. Judging
from the number of favorable replies re-

On tho Right Platform.

We see it stated in the newspapers
that M. f. Ansel, candidate for Gov
ernor, is not fighting the dispensary,
but is in favor of local option-that
is to say, he believes that each com
munity should decide for itself
whether it wants the dispensary.
We are heartily in favor of each
community exercising its pleasure
in the matter. The Keowee Courier
and the Newberry Observer have al
ready expressed our opinion on this
subject better than we could express
it. We agree with the views as re-
ported of Mr.. Ansel and beg
leave to change our vote as it stood
before we spoke two weeks ago. But,
liz Able lille, we know of no one
here who is dissatisfied with the dis
pensary, or who wishes to have pro-
hibition or high license. Abbeville's
experience with prohibition leaves
no doubt on our mind as to what is
best for US. We see here very little
evidence of drinking, but from the
large sales of liquor somebody must
be drinking it. Itis, therefore, the
duty of our church people, and the
parents of every station to teach the
young men and boys to refrain from
drinking. They should not contract
the drink habit. 1t is worse than
folly to abuse the dispensary while
nothing is being done to restrain our
people from drink. Press

Ruling Affects Every County In the State.

Columbia, April s.-Attorney General
Gunter has rendered Comptroller Jones
an opinion in which he declares that it is
unlawful for a County Treasurer to col
lect taxes after the 18th of March at
which time the law says executions shall
issue. The ruling affects practically
every county in the State, as the Treas
urers have for number of years fallen
into the custom of favoring taxpayers,
particularly influential ones, by allowing
payment after the expiration of the time
fixed by law. The penalty is only seven
per cont all told and many wait until the
very last day to pay. The decision there
fore affects many Taxpayers.

FIELD MARSHAL oYAma.
The. Japanese Soldier Takes Rank with the
Greatest Commanders OF the World.

atfe fstltst4 ~
From the New York Evening Sum-
Field Marshal Oyama, the little,
gnarled old Japanese, who wears no
medals on his shabby uniform coat,
takes place among the great soldiers
of the world, and may aptly be COM
pared with Hannibal, Frederick the
Great, Marlborough, Napoleon, Wei
lington and Grant, for he has over
whelmed vast Russian army on its
chosen ground and beaten gen.
eral who was Justly regarded as one
of the ablest of Western strategists.
No doubt can remain that the
battle of Mukden has been fought to
a decisive finish. A Russian army
of an estimated strength of 100000
men, defending intrenched positions
with howitzers, machine guns and
magazine rifles, and commanded by q
general who had walled city for his
headquarters, a railroad at his back,
rivers on his front and right, and a
mountain pass on his left, has been
outfought, broken and routed by an
army of Asiatics of about the same
strength assuming the offensive.
The bloodiest battle in the annals
of war Mukden may be called. Eight
thousand Russians lie dead on the
ground gained by the indomitable in
fantry of Oku charging through hells
of fire, and the casualties of both
armies ''far exceed 100000" But the
butchers bill is still to be itemized,
and the total must be cast up again.
The Russian center has been "practi-
cally annihilated," and on the right
the troops of Linevitch and Rennen-
kampff are in full flight. The Japan
ese have seized the railway north of
Mukden, and apparently have cut off
the retreat of Kurupatkin's army.
Doubtless, reserves at Harbin are
being hurried down the line, but they
may find to cooperate with them
only the remnants of a demoralized
army. Is Mukden to be another
Metz? We shall know in twenty
four hours. The drawing off of the
fragments of beaten army scattered
over front of eighty miles and the
welding them together into an effect
i've force would seem to be a super
human achievement. In any event,
Mukden falls into the hands of the
Japanese, and will become the base
of Marshal Oyama if further opera
tions should be necessary. But why
need the victorious japanese fire
another shot2 They possess Korea ;
they have wrested Port Arthur from
the enemy they have shattered Rus
sian sea power, and with the Mikado's
flag flying over the ancient capital of
Manchuria, they could rest on the
defensive, strengthen their positions
on every field gained, and defy the
Russian Empire with all it's resources
to oust them. Would Russia accept
the challenge? Further prosecution
of the war by the late Colossus OF
the North would seem to be utterly
futile. 1t might go on until an at
tempt were made by Rojestvensky's
nondescript fleet to destroy the Jap
anese navy and cut in turn the
enemy's communications by sea, but
