The June election 1906 will soon be
here. Important questions are before
us Voters. where do you stand upon
those that affect every man, woman
and child in the country? What are
you going to do with those amend
ments which are virtually the repeal
of the Local Option Law? predict
that the good men of our county and
state will rally around the standard
of right and let the liquor men know
that the people are more than ever
aroused against the iniquitous traffic
and that the mothers and wives who
love their homes and country may be
given voice in making the laws for
their protection. Too much cannot be
said against these amendments. In
the first place it is wholly the work of
the brewers and Wholesale liquor
dealers association through the Royal
Arch and it takes it entirely out of
the hands of the people to decide for
or against the saloon at the doors of
the home. Every voter should be at
the polls this year if never before and
do his duty. Under the proposed law
there is no Imprisonment no matter
how many offenses, search warrants
are not necessary and no provisions for
arrest are made. jutsice swept away.

The Preside. has just signed q bill
introduced by Representative Aiken
increasing the pension Of Mrs. Marie
G. Bonham widow of the late William.
B. Bonham, U. s. Army, from $15 to
$25 per month.
This is the first bill introduced by q

members of the committee to get
through the bills introduced by Them
selves without apparently neglecting
those introduced by. other members.
Mr.. Aiken said today that he was
greatly interested in the bills to be re-
ported shortly by the committee on
buildings and grounds, inasmuch as
be is trying to secure 500. 900 for the
purpose Of erecting a new postoffice
building at Anderson, and an amount
sufficient to build a p~ostofice and
court house at Greenwood, the latter
probably being about $50, 900 or SIS,
900. He is also looking with interest
to the report soon to be made on his
bills to purchase the old star fort bat
tie ground at Ninety Six, and the cree
ton of a monument to Col. Andrew
Pickens at Clemson college. Another
matter in which he is greatly interest
ed at this time is the result of his eff
forts to have the salaries Of rural mail
carriers raised from S720 to $500 per
year. Mr.. Aiken thinks that. reports
will shortly be made on all of these
bills and. be hopes that they will be
favorable.

other city in upper Carolina, culture;
and musical culture is the greatest ex-
emplifcation of refinement.
The seat sale was opened last Thurs
day at the store Of S. c. Hodges, in
Greenwood, and was most gratifying.
Ever since then the people have been
making reservations-in fact, those
who contemplate going should write
tor tickets at once. The schedule of
trains is 50 arranged that Abbeville
folk can run down to each perform
ance during the two days and return
early the next morning, going down
again for the next.
Single admission tickets are sold for
seventy five cents while season tickets
are only two dollars.
THE MUSIC.
The Festival will consist of
Abt's Summer" Braga's "Angers
~"Serenade," Lohr's Swing Song"
Veasie's Spring invitation" by the
chorus club. Gaul's "Holy City, by
chorus and Oratorio clubs, assisted
solists. persian Garden" and groups
OF solos by the artists.
Greenwood co~ngratulates herself
that she has secured such artists as
Genevive Clark Wilson, Harriet
Frahm, H. Augustine Smith, and Gus
tat Holmquist. These Chicago artists
are well known to the musical world.
MIR. SMITH,.
Mr.. H. Augustine Smith needs no
introduction to the people of this
section. He possesses a suh:.b voice
of wonderful brilliancy and power and
great range. Those who heard his
recital last year will not soon forget
his lyric voice, because the program
was one that none but an artist could
successfully give.
The power of Interpretation is MI.
Smiths greatest gift as a singer. This
is no disparagement of his voice, a
mellow, vibrant tenor, free from
throatiness and untrammeled by
method"
But better than his organ is his
musiial appreciation and insight into
the composers thought; his serious
ness Of purpose, which makes him
conscientious in every line of his
work; his intensity OF utterance, which
masters his audiences and holds them
to the song OF the moment, be it the
Messiah" the Redemption" "Hia-
watha's Wedding Feast" or the simple
Scotch songs or oprea excerpts which
illumine his recital programmes.

A GREAT EVENT
IN MUSICAL CIRCLES
Choral Festival to be Held
in Greenwood
TICKETS ARE ON SALE
Renowned Artists Have Been En-
gagged and Event to be a
Great One

An event of great interest to the
people OF Abbeville will be the annual
Choral Festival of the Lander Col
lcge Oratorio Club Of Greenwood
which event will be held on the 18th
and 10Th Of April. The people OF
Greenwood are straining every effort
to make this great musical event a
success in all that the word implies.
And it will be an event which will be
attended by all sections surrounding
For on the days set for the Festival
a grand chorus Of one hundred and
forty five voices assisted by several
great artists from the west will enter
tain please and thoroughly enterest
those who will take advantage Of the
low railroad rates to go over to
Greenwood to hear it. Already the
people Of this section are talking about
it and it is safe to predict that a large
crowd will leave for Greenwood when
the festivities open up there. The
seat sale so far has been most en-
couraging to those who have put up
the guarantee and the mail order for
the seats has proven a feature.
There are to be three concerts
and all three will be of a high degree
Of perfection surprising anything
which has ever been seen or heard in
this section in years. The chorus
under the direction of Miss Louise
Heilman director OF music at Lander
College is making great Roadway and
as each rehearsal is had the efficiency
of the directors teaching is demon
strated. One hundred and forty five
voices we'll trained constitute no small
chorus and is a sight we'll worth the
small admission fee charged. But the
artists who are to come from Chicago
and other western cities bring with
them regulations which alone prove a
great drawing card.
The people of Green
wood have undergone great expense
in securing these great singers to
come to their city, and they will offer
an attraction, which the Abeville peo-
pie will be sure to accept. 1t is a
we'll known fact that Abbeville peo-
