WHO will sail for the United States
soon to supervise the presentation Of
his new opera "Ysobel" by the Bessie
Abbott Company and conduct sym
phony concerts, announces that al
though his North American tour was
scheduled for three months only, he
Will remain there nine months anu
then tour the cities Of South America
He is Rewriting the American Nec-
sion of ''Ysobei" cutting it extensive
ly, as he believes Americans prefer
their entertainments short.
TIE one weakness of the NV opera
is that there are two principal roles,
the rest of the characters being mere
puppets.
The composers wife, whose last visit
to the United States was far from
pleasant, will accompany him
Mascagni has adopted a mechanical
music writer, which when attached to
the piano transscribes in dots and
dashes every note as it is played. This
enables him to compose with greater
fuency.

To the Voters of Sumter County:
In closing my last card | stated that
it was my intention to discuss the
question of working the conyicts on

this was that a bill has been intro
duced in the legislature making it the
special duty of the County Commits
sioners to have the convicts of our
county work the streets of Americas
and keep them in first class condition.
| am against this bill under the exist
ing nditions and for this reason
wished to discuss the question with
the voters.
| believe that Sumter county is just
now entering upon the most pros
porous era Of Ter life, New families
are coming in from other counties and
states. Farm lands are rapidly al
vancing in price. We are being wide
ly advertised as the county having the
