ing to others some Of the thoughts
tending toward the elevation Of the

TO HEAR EMMA EAMES
Music Lovers Are Buying Tickets Fast
for Auditorium Concert. -.-

The Emma Eames seat sale opened
today at the office Of the Metropolitan
Music company, and demonstrated be-
yond q doubt that the diva on the oc-
easion Of her appearance at the Audito-
greeted by one Of the most brilliant
audiences, both socially and unsteady,
that the city has ever seen.
Nine. Eames' tour thru the United
States is one continued ovation and
everywhere, not only are words Of
praise being showered upon her, but
the members Of her company are being
greeted with enthusiasm and favor. It
would be difficult to conceive a more
cordial welcome than that Sig. Emilio
de Gorgoza is receiving. His brilliant
barytone, with its wonderful timbre and
wide range, his splendid intelligence
and delightful singing, are deservedly
meeting with popular favor. What is
true Of Sig. De Gorgoza is true Of the
other members of the company. Joseph
Holman, the 'cellist, is playing his way
into the hearts Of the, American people
as few succeed in doing, and Amherst
Weber is proving thoroly good &C
companist as well as soloist.

Batist Xmas Tree.

The Baptist Sunday school Of this
place held its Xmas tree exercises in
Roofs Hall on Xmas night of this
week. The program was most inter-
esting, and the happy faces Of the
little ones as they walked forward to
receive the presents of Old Santa
Claus, made one feel that there is YET
much real good in this old world.
Their happiness was contagious, and
not person in the large audience
went away without feeling better,
happier and more content with life
and its responsibilities. The exer-
cises were first class, and all the lit
tie performers did their parts exceed
ingly we'll, and reflected credit alike
upon themselves and their worthy
and painstaking superintendent, Capt.
L. W. Redd.
Following custom, Mr.. and Mrs
W. P. Roof gave to each of the
operatives of the Lexington cotton
mill q nice present as an evidence OF
their good will and esteem and love
for those who have been so faithful

Russian's Troub ub1es.

Russia is on the brink of Civil
War. The strike which has been
going on in desultory kind of way
for weeks has at last taken in the
proportioned of an around rebellion
The very government it's self is
threatened and nothing but the most
radical concessions from the govern-
ment to the revolutionists can save
the throne to the man who now
wears it. The workmen are being
joined by the soldiers, who ordinari-
ally are the support of the govern
ment and these with a vast public
opinion in favor of radical charges,
make the situation the most critical
in the history of the Empire The
situation grows more serious each
hour. Already the losses resulting
from riots, reaches over five hundred
killed and wounded and the fever Of
rebellion is breaking out in new
quarters each day. Civil war seems
TO be imminent and bloody revolu-
ton raises it's head and promises
the destruction of an Empire.

Orengeburg Collegiate Institute. It
has had wonderfully successful fall
session, having within it's walls 169
as bright girls and boys as can be
found in any school.

at work raising this amount.
The school has great many
friends throughout Lexington county

fall by five or six pupils and we
hope there will be others there after
Christmas.

us that he has room for few more
young men and three or four young
ladies. Parents who wish to place
their children in number one school
where the charges are moderate
should correspond with him.
