The Little Gate City.

Florence, the little Gate City of
the Pee Dee, did herself proud in
the entertainment given President
Taft, as we'll as the thousands of
strangers within her gates on Mon
day and Tuesday. 1t was pretty
big undertaking for town the
size of Florence to take care of
so big crowd and give ali
good time, but the citizens 'prac-
ticaIlv formed themselves into a
counittee Of the whole to see that
no visitor lacked attention. Ii
is Only b. such enterprise, backed
by the concerted action of it,
people, that town or q commu
nifty can accomplish things worth
while.
The Pee Dee convention was an
occasion long to be remembered,
and among the crowds that
thronged the little city, We fee
sure that none went away with
other thar deep feeling of kind
ness fo- Florence and her hospit
able people. :

Letter to a Farmer Boy.

No man ever makes big success
in anything, by accident. If some
body has stuffed your head with
the idea that men succeed in this
world by luck, you may just put it
down that somebody doesn't know
what he is talking about. Whether
you are going to be farmer or a
college president, YOU must fit your
self for whatever you are going TO
be.
No matter what sort of work you
are dong, try to do it little
better than the other fellow.
Emerson says somewhere that if a
man can do anything supremely
we'll, no matter if he live in a
wilderness, the world will make
beaten path to his door. And this
Is very true. I rode the other day
to see farmer who lives not many
miles from where / am writing and
found that the Governor Of the
State had just been there to see
his corn crop, and great number
of other men had come miles and
miles to see this mans farm. And
why? Simply because he had done
more with an acre than any other
man in the county.
If your brother wants to 60 to
town to clerk in a store and mea-
sure calico as somebody else's hired
man, let him 60. You stay on the
farm where you can be lndepen.
dent, living under your own vine
and fig tree, and where you can
take part in all these great move
ments that are going to count for
so much in human progress aud
in the worlds development these
next fifty years.
We have had too many farmer
boys already, who have made second
rate merchants and clerks, who
might have made prominent farmers
and men of inhu ence in their coun-
ties.
1t is a great deal better and more
honorable to raise Southern meat
than it is to sell Western meat.
1t is a great deal better and more
useful to be "a leader in showing
how to make more cotton per acre
than it is to merely measure of a
certain humber of yards of cotton
goods when buyer wants it.
Don't give up the independence of
farm life. In the city shops and
stores only small proportion OF
the workers own their own homes
or have any chance to do work that
counts for much iu these great pro-
gressive movements We have been
discussing. The boy who is shut
up in a factory in the South has
only one chance of usefulness and
independence for twenty that you
and other farmer boys have.-RaI-
eWA (N C) Progressive Farmer.

BOSTON SYMPHONY 0RCHESTRASCORES
 ANOTHER TRIUMPH

The Boston Symphony Orchestra again proved itself a great musical or ganization last night. It is undoubt- edlyl the greatest orchestra in the world. playing with a unity and finish that is an almost unbelievable product of talent and discipline. No other group of musicians perhaps would have the drawing power to bring out an au- dience as numerous as that in Jack sons theatre last night during such a storm as ragged from early in the evening to early in the following morn ing. Madame Coriune Rider-Kelsey gave a performance that was entirely satisfactory in all save one respect. She refused absolutely to respond to the tumultuous demand for an encore. possibly because the work required of her was sustained and difficult. Her voice Is less brilliant than that of some other singers, but 1t Is wonderfully sweet and sympathetic and is used with remarkable expression and tech nique.
 The program opened with the prelude to Wagner's The Master Singers of Nuremberg. a composition which was greeted with coldness when it was first produced under the direction of its author. and which even now is diff ficuit to the comprehension of the or dinary musician Nevertheless the great merits of the composition were successfully emphasized.
 Max Fiedler proved a worthy suc- cessor of the famous leaders who have preceded him at the head of the Sym phony. He has all the intellectual and physical characteristics that are necessary to great orchestral leader ship. It is perhaps dropping from the high plane of musical criticism to re- mark that 1t is a help to a leader if he presents a good rear view to the audience and it Is certainly true that Fiedler. tall. slender and graceful, does so-
 The greatest appeal to the audience was made by Tschefkowsky's Pa thetic" symphony. which is decidedly more understandable than '@The Mas ter Singers" Highly emotional, and sprinkled through with touching mel odies the Pathetic rendered by the BosToa Symphony was a treat worth traveiing far to meet.
