Messrs. L. T. Nichols, ]. H. Marion
and r. B. Caldwell appeared before
the town council on Tuesday and
asked for an exclusive franchise for
so years to operate street cars In the
city Of Chester. They also asked
the privilege Of transmitting and
selling power. The council had the
matter under consideration at two
meetings, but 1t did not see its way
clear to grant the request. Among
Chester's many varied institutions
and organization one of the least
touted, but at the same time. most
highly marked by rare consistency OF
effort and achievement, Is the Spring
stein band. This organization, grow
ing out Of the desire Of few musi-
cally inclined young men to increase
their musical powers, has developed
at a rate which is marvellous. From
crowd of novices the organization
has grown to be one Of the best In
all the up-country. The countless
occasions on which the Springstein
band has furnished music for some
notable public gathering and the con-
slant demand that Is being made for
their services are ample proofs that
the organization is recognized not
only by the natives, but by outsiders
as well, as an organization OF the
first class. The band as now COM
posed numbers twenty-five members.
None of these is of the transient
character, but every man is a bona
fde resident. having the interests or
the organization at heart. Among
these are several performers who
have been declared by their instruc-
tors to be most promising musicians.
With these in the ranks there is rea-
son to believe that the day is not far
distant when Chester's band Will be
recognized as the equal OF any in
the south. The organization Is now
on a stable financial basis. By means
Of concerts, festivals and the like
enough money has been cleared to
liquidate all debt that has accrued
and to furnish g. nucleus almost suf-
fcient to furnish the organization
with new uniforms. These uniforms
have already been purchased and are
now in transit When they arrive

Chester" This band is a perma-
nent organization. Under the di-
rectorship Of Profs. Herndon and
Leaptrott 1t has given such evidences
of excellence and progressiveness
that there can now be no doubt Of
the public support. This is merited,
and it is to be hoped during the years
to come that the city will regard this
company of musicians as a public
asset as we'll as a source of public
interest and public pride.
