State Bank Examiner Hard al Work.

State Bank Examiner Holleman
has opened his Office in Columbia
and is getting down to work with
the duties of his position. He is
kept very busy checking up the re-
ports from the various banks
throughout the State and answering
questions and getting the reports
into acceptable shape. He has found
that it takes great deal of CORE
spondence to get the banks to make
the kind of report that is wanted.
He has gone over the situation care
fully and has gotten copies of re-
ports from various other States and
has arranged series of intelligent
questions, which he thinks it neces-
sary to have answered. Mr.. Holle-
man expects TO get all of these re-
ports in shape and he will then start
out over the State to make personal
examinations, but he finds the corre-
spondence in his Office 80 heavy just
now that he has not yet been able to
get out into the field.

WHEN THE EVENING SHADOWS FALL.
A TOUCHING INCIDENT DURING SESSION
OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY.


AT the conclusion of the devo-
tional exercises of the Presbyterian
General Assembly, in Greenville, on
the morning of May 18th, most
touching incident took place.
DR.. E. NJ. Monroe, of Milford,
Texas, arose to question of per-
sonal privilege. He stated that the
Presbytery of Dallas had elected four
commissioners and that all of them
were in attendance on the General
Assembly, but that the Dallas Pres
bytery had sent as visitors to the
assembly Rev. DIR. August johnson
and his aged wife. DIR. johnson is
81 years of age, has been preaching
II years and is still in active service.
He is a native of North Carolina, but
was licensed to preach in South
Carolina. DIR. Monroe stated that
the old couple were highly respected
in their community, and that it was
their custom to sing occasionally be-
fore the congregation. immediately
there arose a clamor for song.
Sitting on the low pulpit, sur
rounded by the softened light of
delicately tinted windows, with the
great silent organ in their rear, and
faced By multitude of upturned
faces, the old people began to sing.
At first the voices were SO low as to
be scarcely audible. But soon the
singers lost their timidity in the spirit
of the song, and the tremulous notes
of the old, old voices filled the
church. They were singing, "We
Shall Know Each Other There" "
The high, quavering notes of the
soprano, tempered by the broken
bass, swept out over the vast silent
audience. At the chorus, the voices
broke for a moment, and there was a
suspicious moisture in many eyes.
Gravely they started on the second
verse. A stiffness, as of death, was
on the assembly, and in the intervals
of silence between the lines one
could hear the faint brushing of the
leaves of the trees against the stained
windows. The opening words of the
hymn are, "When the Evening
Shadows Fall" Frequently the
voices broke; occasionally they were
not in perfect accord, but the single,
abiding faith in heavenly recognition
breathed forth in the words of the
hymn, and in the countenances OF
the aged couple, produced most
profound effect.
These old people are on the bor-
derland. One is 81 and the other 81
years of age. 1t is more than proba-
BILE that neither of them will ever
again attend meeting of the Pres
byterian Assembly, and their only
prayer is that the summons will
come to both at the same time. The
fri ,ds of their youth, their child
hos have long since passed away,
and they are almost strangers in a
strange land. They could not have
selected more appropriate hymn
had the hymn book been searched
from cover to cover.
DR.. Thornwell, of Fort Mill, moved
that prayer of thanksgiving be
offered by the moderator, which was
done.

In Memory Of Ny. Dear unole, 8. F. OiIworsh.


this beautiful day of rest, and while
pleasant memories of my happy child
hood days come TO my mind, 1 re.
member many happy hours while
being borne in strong arms that now
lie cold and still, and whose form
sleeps the calm, sweet sleep of the
just. Fighting the battle of death
and gaining the victor's crown, our
dear one is now at sweet rest. How
sad the hearts that loved him, when
knowing we must be separated from
him on earth forever, but how sweet
the thought to know he was ready to
meet his God and be carried away
on his bosom to place of peace,
and where sorrow is never known.
Oh, dear sorrowing ones, could we
only realize his happiness and his
joy when being reunited with those
loved ones gone before, surely we
would forget our sorrows, and look
forward to brighter days, when, if
we walk carefully and trust in one in
whom he trusted, we will meet again
in the happy beyond, where there
will be no more parting, no more
pain, but Joy, peace and happiness
forever more.
Dear cousins, we only have one
more jewel in heaven to draw our
hearts nearer to God. On that glad
and happy resurrection day, when
the sleeping ashes of the sepulchre,
starting at the tones of the Arch
angels trumpet, the dishonored dust
rising glorifed body like its risen
Lords.
At death the souls bliss is perfect
in kind, but that bliss is not COM
plete in degree until reunited to the
tabernacle it has left beh. I'd to min
gle with the sods of the valley. But
tread lightly on that grave. 1t con-
tains precious, ransomed dust. All
the joys of that resurrection morn
we cannot tell, but it's chief glory we
do know. When we shall appear
we shall be like him, for we shall see
him as he is.
Blessed Jesus, how thy presence
anctifies trial, takes loneliness from
the chamber of sickness, and gloom
from the chamber of death.
Bright and Morning Star, pre-.
cious at all times, thou art never &C
precious as in "the dark and cloudy
day" The bitterness of sorrow is
well worth enduring to have thy
promised consolation. How well
qualified, thou Man of Sorrows, to be
my Comforter. How we'll fitted to
dry my tears, thou who didst shed
80 many thyself. What are my
tears, my sorrows, my crosses, my
losses, compared with thine, who
didst shed first thy tears and then
thy blood for me? Mine are all
deserved
How sweet the comforts, dear sor-
rowing ones, thou hast promised to
the comfortless.
When | think of them as flowing
from an almighty fellows sufferer, a
brother born for adversely, the friend
that sticketh closer than brother,
one who can say with all the refined
sympathies of holy, exalted human
nature, 81 know all your sorrows"
Loved ones, calm thy grief. There
is not sorrow thou cans't expert
ence, but Jesus, in the treasury grace,
has an exact, corresponding solace.
And in the multitude of thy sorrows
have in your hearts, "thy comforts
delight-my soul"
His affectionate niece,
Rosa Dilworth.

in the exciting episodes which fill the four acts; perhaps in the delicious fun and wild antics of the pickannnies. Any how, the power to draw people again and again to see it is there. It is sufficient to know, however, that a great majority of play-goers appear to consider 1t as a duty to see the play each time 1t comes around. As long as this condition obtains Tn Old Kentucky will be an occasional visitor.
 The pickaninny scene is always new and always enjoyable. Their whirlwind of fun and frolic. of music and mirth, is conta- gious, and they have a way of going through their work in this play that makes the spectator forget that it is sim ply fine piece of stage management and not scene from real life

one of the most famous cases of feminine criminals that has been aired by the newspapers in several years. It is not the first time that the devotion of a faithful woman has been shown on the stage, but it is a topic that never fails to win the sympathy of the audience
 Julian Rolfe has incurred the hate of an abandoned woman because he, having had experience of her, prevented his dearest personal friend from marrying her. This friend, in his crazy infatuation deemed death preferable to separation, and blew out his brains. Several years later Julian himself being a happy bridegroom, this revengeful woman, Claire, tells the dis trict attorney a tale of murder, vowing that Julian Rofe was her lover and that he killed his friend out of jealousy. This yarn she is able to substantiate by various kinds of circumstantial evidence and by letters with forged dates, until the case begins to look very black, and Julian at his wedding reception is torn from his wife's arms by the police and cast into the Tombs. His lawyer warns him and his wife that his situation Is perilous. and that practically his fate depends upon up- setting the evidence of the woman Claire. In order to do this, the young wife (Blanche Walsh, whose faith in her hus- band is absolute, assumes the part of an outcast makes herself the intimate of

Theatre-goers of Birmingham will to- morrow night at the Jefferson theatre see Blanche Walsh in her latest success, "The Woman in the Case regarded by the public and critics of New York. where it ran for four months at the Herald Square theatre, as the best of the numerous plays written by Clyde Fitch. It is q play with one of the best titles any of the drama lists have made use of in many years. A better name for a modern society drama could hardly be imagined. It would fit an infinite variety of plays. for the prime factor in any dramatic problem is inva- riably q woman.

It is said that Manager w. E. Vaudeville has secured company peculiarly adapted to impersonate the type of people living in the state of Ar kansas. He was prompted to do this, it Is said, on the idea that the distinctively American play depends to a great extent on it's portrayal of character and scenes which are of a local nature.
 Thus "Shore Acres deals with the in habtants of the coast of Maine: "The Old Homestead" with the natives of New Hampshire; Arizona with the denzens of the far western state of that name, and Human Hearts" with tthe peaceful lives of those who live in the picturesque Arkansas hills.
