ORGAN RECITAL.
Prof. Frank Lincoln Eyer Delights
Newberry Audience in Lutheran
Church of the Redeemer.

Last Tuesday evening music lovers
of Newberry were privileged to hear
an organ recital Of high order by
Prof. Frank Lincoln Eyer. He is the
director of music at Limestone col
1ege, where the highest standard is
upheld in the music, as we'll as in the
literary department.
The organ in his hands presents
grand possibilities. His skilful use Of
the stops, manuals and pedals en-
ables one to see that the mechanical
feature in organ playing can be lost
sight of and no more attention be call
ed to it than to the mechanical in
piano playing. when done by an artist.
He is able to substitute other effects
where the abused tremolo is often al
lowed to mar the beauty of compost
ton.
His staccato pedal work was parti-
cularly fine, and showed mastery Of
that style of playing.
The march from Aida of Verdi, the
first number on the program, did JUS
tice to this wonderful composer of
Italian opera.
Pilgrims Chorus (Tannhauserl was
given in all it's beauty and charm.
Chopin's funeral march with all it's
depth and pathos held the listeners
enrapt.
Intermezzo of Dunham and Ber-
ceuse by Gounod were beautifully Civ
en-.
The closing number from Batiste's
st. Cecilia brought out the full organ,
and was truly inspiring.
All who enjoyed this rare musical
evening vote many thanks to Mr.. Eyer,
and would like to suggest that he
come again.
The pleasure of this occasion was
enhanced by two vocal selections from
Mrs. Roy q. Thomas whose beautiful
voice and artistic style of expression
always delight and bring forths ap-
plause.

Immediately began an overland march

had a wholesome effect and tonight
the belligerents are reported to be

all probability be averted.
D. The rioting began late yesterday,
lar the village of Slocum. Several
easons are assigned as the cause for

8Then white man received notice that
he should perform road work under

man refused.
Later came reports of secret meet

WOULD AID SOUTH GREATLY.
Cotton Warehouse Project, If Success
fui, Will do Much for This Sec
ton. Says Albanian.

Atlanta, Ca, July 29.-The project
of Daniel J. Sully and associates to
establish bonded cotton warehouses
throughout the South and at various
manufacturing centres throughout
the country, the tentative plans of
which already have been laid before
bankers and cOttdl factors of the
South by Mr.. Sully in person, has met
with favorable reception through
the cotton growing States.
Following the visit to Atlanta next
week of Messrs. Sully and Dalgeish,
the Atlanta chamber Of commerce yes
terday adopted a resolution favoring
the establishment of a chain Of. ware
houses such as Mr.. Sully proposed.
Mr.. Haxton, president of the chamber
of commerce, said the successful oper-
alton of the Sully plan would greatly
aid the South in financing the cotton
crop and believed it would result in
the saving Of millions Of dollars year.
ly to the cotton growers.
During the recent visit of Messrs.
Sully and Dalgeish to Atlanta it was
announced that the warehouses,
which it was planned to buy, or build
throughout the South in time for
handling much of the 1910 crop, would
be bonded by the Hirsch syndicate of
London. On the cotton stored in the
warehouses negotiable certificates are
to be issued, intended to be available
as collateral in either this country or
Europe. =

TO CONSERVE VALUE
OF COTTON CROP
SCHEME LAUNCHED TO RETOLU'
TIONIZE INDUSTRY.
Would Make for Economy in Handling
and Promote Interests
of All.

Boston, July 29.-Having for its
purpose the revolutionizing Of the cot
ton industry of the United States, a
conference was held today at the home
of John Hays Hammond at Gloucester,
at which, there are present besides
Mr.. Hammond, Daniel J. Sully, the
New York operator, and Scot Delgeish
of Cairo, Egypt, the representative Of
the Hirsch syndicate of London.
Briefly, the idea is to establish
warehouses in all parts Of the cotton
producing district Of this country as
we'll as in the manufacturing centres
for storing the cotton crop, so that in
stead of selling it from hand to mouth,
as has been the practice heretofore, it
will be marketed through the entire
year when desirable. 1t is believed
that economies will be effected in the
marketingsof of cotton, which will result
in a saving of not less than s50,00O,-
900 annually.
The General Cotton Securities COM
pany, Of which Mr.. Hammond is presi-
dent, and Mr.. Sully is vice-president
and general manager, is to be the or
ganization through which this econ
omy is to be effected. The Hirsch
syndicate, it is understood, has al
ready underwritten the project.

Dunbar, colored, of Augusta, and
slight injury to sixteen passengers.
When the train was entering onto a
reverse curve Baggagemaster George
Box directed the attention of Conduc-
tor W. B. Verdery to large volumes OF
smoke, which he believed to be COM
ing from the trestle, then mile dis
tant from the train, and which had
been burned before. At that time the
fire was on the Left side of the train
and could not have been seen by En-
gineer Taylor.
Plunges Through Burning Trestle.
Conductor Verdery watched the
smoke until the train had rounded the
reverse curve, when he saw that the
| fire was On the trestle. Immediately
he pulled the danger signal, and ran
from the baggage coach back to the
frst-class passenger coach and pull
ed the emergency brake, but already
the engine had run onto the trestle
and plunged through to the little
creek below, pulling with it the ten

of the passenger coaches.

minutes the entire train was afame.

Engineer Taylor and Fireman Dun

were caught under the tender, which
was thrown directly on top of the en-
gine. Both of these were either mash

are still in the wreckage.
