Almost an Oberammergau in Itself to
be Heard at Chautauqua.

Newspapers now circulate so gen.
orally and have carried on their work
of publicity so thoroughly that every
section of the country, no matter how
remote, is informed on what is trans
piring in the world. London, Hong
Kong, New York, these no longer
have a foreign and mysterious signi-
ficance. To the average reader they
are the names of neighborhoods just
outside the range of our visiting
| lists; and we know their secrets as
we'll as we care to know them.
Contemporaneous with the news
paper in the dissemination Of knowl-
edge of events, the modern Chautau-
qua leads all other institutions in
spreading the knowledge of men. AS
the years go by the ablest thinkers.
publicists, explorers, orators, musi-
clans and entertainers are brought
upon the platform erected by the
Chautauqua at the very doors Of the
people; and John and Henry, Mary
and Susan can tell off on their fing-
ers a long list Of distinguished men
and women whom they have both
seen and heard.
This season there will come to our
! Chautauqua a man of prominence
who has caught the spirit OF the
| times so thoroughly that he has in
vented a method of communication.
This man is Rev Patrick j. Mac
| Do iof ioCi
noted throughout the country for his
oratorical ability, and platform IA
vorite wherever he has appeared. His
extensive travels in Europe as well
as both North and South America
have added much to the scholastic
training of the man and given to his
work a finish and charm.
Father MacCorry's lectures cover
wide range of investigation. 1t is
in his lecture The Story Beautiful"
however, that the distinctive method
of Father MacCorry and his fine
qualities of platform power make
themselves most felt. For this lee
ture, which deals with the life and
story of the Saviour, a hundred lam
tern slides have been prepared, taken
from replicas Of the greatest paint
lngs of modern times.
Every one is gem of marvellous
beauty. They were colored express
ly for use in these lectures by Mr..
Joseph Hawkes. of the Metropolitan
Museum Of Art, New York, and are
without doubt the finest specimens of
coloring ever attempted on this side
of the water. BY the aid of these
masterpieces, every one revelation
and delight, the speaker, standing in
the soft glow Of subdued light, with
his native powers Of expression, and
conscious Of the sublimity Of his
theme, delivers the real classic Of
modern times on the story that hax
stirred the hearts of all civilized
races of men for two thousand years.
and will increase in interest and dyn-
annie power for good as long as the
world shall stand.
The famous Passion Play, pro-
duced by the Tyrolean peasants Of
Oberammergau, has set the standard
of excellence in depicting the earthly
| career Of the Christ; but second only
to this is the work of Father Mac
Cory, in The Story Beautiful" in
power to bring down to earth the
eternal verities. Father MacCorry's

FIRST DAY
CHAUTAUQUA
CHAUTAUQUA OPENS WITH A
WHIRL-FIRST DAY A BIG
DAY.
Evelyn Bargelt, Cartoonist--Matti-
son Wilbur Chase, The Silver
Toned Orator of the North.

Look out for the first days pro-
gram at the Chautauqua. 1t is
hummer. The management evident
ly believes in the virtue of getting
off we'll at the wire; for arrange
ments are completed for making the
first day a genuinely big day.
The big tent will be set and every
thing ready in advance. There, will
be no delay or tagging anywhere
The programs will open at the ad-
vertised moment and everything will
60 off with a whirl.
The musical offering for the first
day is the famous Kirksmith Or
chestra This combination Of win
some girls has no superior anywhere.
They present program rich in va
riety and full Of vim and action
throughout.
Not only in ensemble productions,
but in the work of its soloists as
well, this superb orchestra has won
renown Miss Lillian Kirksmith, the
worlds leading lady flute artist, will
play. Her productions on this beau
tiful instrument are everywhere
sources of tremendous enthusiasm.
In solos, duets, trios, Quartets,
both instrumental and vocal, this
orchestra eXcels. In the more Wig
orous and herioc ensemble numbers
their music is remarkably popular.
Evelyn Bargelt, the greatest lady
cartoonist, will appear on the first
days programs and again demon
strate her superiority and friend win
ming qualities. With amazing rapid
ity and clevsrness she builds her
pictures upon the screen, keeping up
all the while a running comment
thereon, sparkling with flashes OF
wit and humor.
But it is not as cartoonist alone,
but as a reader and interpreter as
well, Miss Evelyn Bargelt is a posi-
tive JOY.
The popular lecture for this day
will be delivered by that popular
favorite, DR.. Madison Wilbur Chase,
The Silver Toned Orator of the
North"
DR.. Chase is fully qualified to keep
pace with the company with which
he has been associated, and his lee
ture will be found to be one of rich
thought and fascinating interest
throughout.
A scholar, observer and traveller,
DR.. Chase has the equipment, while
his mastery and graceful style Of
address makes it pleasure to hear
him.
Remember, the first day is a big
day. It is big in music, big in en-
tertainment, big in instruction. Those
who miss this first days program
will have cause for big regrets.

The Misses Lee and Lathrop Famous
on Both Sides Of the Sea. Fullcn-
wider Master Violinist. A Great
Trio Coming to Chautauqua.

Si eSi0so ING seas, IN the city
OF Berlin, famous for its institutions
OF learning and culture, is the world
famed Stems Conservatory, as vital
to the glory of Berlin as the Louvre
is to that o. Paris.
Thither have gone, in the course
OF years. thousands Of embryonic mu-
sicians, to take trial at the dsvel-
oping processes practiced there and
to discover whether the afflatus of
music was really stirring In their
souls.
Miss Myrtle Lee, Of the Lse-FuI-
lenwidsr-Lsthrop Company, 10 one
OF the brightest products of this
training school. In recognition of
her powers as singer Royal Pro-
lessor Hollasnder said: "You are the
possessor OF wonderful voice
sweet, voluminous and exceptionally
well trained"
Miss Lee finished In voice under
Nine. Corelli, the European authority
on tone production. In bidding her
pupil good bye Nine. Corelli said.
You return to America a great con-
cert artist. Your voice is wonderful
marvellous"
Miss Lathrop is likewise a gradu-
ate OF the Storms Conservatory. Curl
ousiy enough she first went abroad
to finish on the piano. While Pc
rusing her studies she met Nine. Cor
ELI, who discovered her wonderful
voice. The result was that she took
the full course under Nine. Corelli
and developed voice OF such range
that she reaches high "F'' with ease,
gift as rare as 1t is remarkable.
On their European tour both of
these American singers were received
with great enthusiasm. Their COM
Ing to our Chautauqua is an event Of
Importance and our people should
awake to a realization Of this fact.
Miss Lathrop always scores big
successes with her loves sweet songs
OF the heart. Whether your musical
education Is complete or has been en-
tirely neglected, she has numbers
that will charm you as you have not
been charmed before.

The best Of the critics pronounce

This is certainly a trio Of splendid
artists. Everyone within a radius Of
fifteen miles ought to be at the Chau-

An italian Superstition.
There is an Italian superstition that
whenever a king belonging to the
house OF Savoy dies huge eagle is to
be seen crossing the Alps over the val
ley of AOsta in the direction of Savoy,
and the conviction prevails among the
inhabitants of AOsta that this eagle
guides the soul of the dead sovereign
to join those of his ancestors in Savoy
When King Charles Albert died at
Lisbon, King Victor Emmanuel died
at Rome and King Humbert was as
sasinated at Mona in 1900 the eagle
was seen winging its way across the
Alps. All other eagles crossing the

Our Low Yields OF Cotton.

The average cotton crop Of the
whole cotton belt is less than 200
pounds Of lint per acre, a good deal
less. And yet, when we know that
all over the South there are here and
there men who seldom fail to make
500 pounds, and a smaller number
who make more than this, and now
and then one who makes a thousand
pounds, it is evident that to make
this low average there must be many
who are growing cotton at an actual
loss, for 200 pounds hardly pays
more than the cost Of growing it. In
fact, it does not pay the cost Of those
who are carried by a merchant. If
every farmer in the cotton belt made
a bale an acre, it would not take half
the area to make the usual crop, and
the remaining acres could be grow
ing something to feed the land or the
cattle, and helping to improve the
land so that one-fourth IF the area
now planted would make the crop.
may not live to see it, but the
time is coming when a Southern far
mer will be ashamed Of a crop Of
half bale an acre, and will be dis
appointed at less than a bale. The
leaven is working, and as the young
men come to take charge Of affairs,
there is going to be a general break

Is the crop to be cultivated deeply

time after the crop is planted. First,

Clemson Extension WOrk-Article III

From the date of it's esta ablishment
Clemson College has been getting in
to shape to fulfill its primary duty Of
educating the boys Of this State in
agricultural and engineering pursuits.
The fact Is recognized that there are
many boys destined to follow agricul-
ture in after life, and many men in
the State actually engaged in farm
ing who could be helped and bene-
fitted by carrying to them the scien-
tific facts of agriculture. The regen-
Grafton of the State, from an agricul-
tural standpoint. is too slow when we
depend only upon the agricultural
graduate. In order to hasten this
process and to increase the useful
ness Of the college and to extend it's
benefits to the greatest number, the
board established in the Agricultural
Department the Division of Exten-
sion Work and Farmers Institutes.
The men of this division have
nothing to do with the teaching in
the college, but are to give their
whole time to helping the farmers Of
the State.
