BY far the most charming feature of
the recent Munich Mozart festival per-
formance was the appearance of Miss

What Impressed me as so Californian
was her freedom of movement, her fine
Iigence and a temperamental warmth.
She sang evenly and smoothly and with
a certain polish. Moreover (and this
also gave her an advantage over her
companions). she was distinctly hand

Lastly, she had voice. Not in any
way phenomenal but most agreeable,

MIR. j. H. Reel Replies to MIR.
w. w. Adams.

Editor Advertiser: The reply
of Mr.. w. w. Adams in your issue
of recent date to Mr.. E. S. john
SOD has been called to my atten-
tion and l wish in q few senten-
ces to refer to the same as there
in Mr.. Adams is still pursuing
me. 1 sold Mr.. Adams Is bales of
cotton in the spring of 1905 and
told him it was dry cotton and at
the time I of course thought itwas,
but upon hauling it to the plat
form I found that 4 bales which
had been under shelter were
little damp from the beating in
of rain, and I called the attention
of the weigher to this and he de-
dueted what he considered amply
sufficient to cover the dampness.
The cotton was not rotten,.was not
damaged in the least but the
bales were simply damp at one
end and the matter was one to be
adjusted simply by the public
weigher. Sometime after this Mr..
Adams stated to Johnson that the
cotton was short in weight and
demanded of Johnson pay for
the shortage so johnson told me,
whereupon I went to see Mr..
Adams about ithe matter. He said
-ie.'..s- -sssrvege which I am cer-
tain ne represented to be 148.
I told him Iwould do what was
right but did not believe the cot
ton had lost that much. and sug-
gested that he, Johnson and I
take Johnson's scales and go to
Granitevllle and weigh the cotton
but he in a brusque way replied
that I could do what I pleased but
that he would not go, then as I
started away from him : inquired
"Suppose that cotton had gained
14S pounds, would you have paid
for that gain?" lie said: "No."
And said: "It is poor rule that
will not work both ways"
Some time after this, and Mr..
Adams never mentioned the mat
ter to me again, Mr.. Johnson told
me that Mr.. Adams had present
ed an affidavit of the Graniteville
weigher showing that one bale of
said lot of cotton was short So
pounds and that he had paid for
it, and thereupon I paid Mr.. John
son, the full amount he said lie
paid Mr.. Adams .and at the same
time Mr.. Johnson told me that
this was in full settlement of all
shortage on said lot of cotton and
if Johnson was rot correct don't
see why Mr.. Adams aid not de-
duct full amount of the shortage
on the whole lot of cotton from
what be owed Johnson for weigh
ing, for he owed Johnson more
than enough to pay him all he
now claims. I never heard any
more from that transaction until
just before theprlmary last sum-
mer. AS sood as an affidavit was
presented from the weigher at
Graniteville tosme by Mr.. John
aon showing the shortage Oh one
bale of cotton, 1 paid it at once.
No affidavit was ever furnished
to me and 1 am informed pone
ever furnished to johnson as to
shortage on the "a bales of cotton
of the same lot aud / supposed
that Mr.. Adams decided that the |
shortage on the "a bales of cotton
was not greater than was usual
Under similar circumstances and
therefore had made final settle
nent of the whole matter as stated |
% me by Mr.. johnson.
I make this statement in order
hat. the public may know the
'ects in regard to this much dis
,ussed cotton transaction.
