Music lovers of Columbia and near.
by towns ae taking great interest il
the forthcoming concert by Sousa anG
his Dand and this means all classes Of
music lovers, because the Sousa or.
ganization appeals to all. It appeals
with its classic music to those who are
well-up in music and with its fiery
crashing marches, stirring hearts anC
quickening pulses to all others. Il
seems "cinch" to use trite express
sion to predict that the concert in Co
1umbia will be big success, both on
account of the high merit and popu-
lari"y of the band and of Sousa the
march king himself.
The band jumps from Cincinnati
Ohio, to Asheville and goes from Raj
eigh to Washington then to New York
to start on a worldwide tour, appear
ing in only 10 cities in the entire
South.
The sale of seats will start Monday,
December 5. Mail order filed in the
order received. Prices at nigtt Csc,
Soc, 75c., S1.00 and $3.50. Matinee
prices 25c, 50c., 75c., and S1.00.
Thinking that music-lovers of South
Carolina will be interested in know
ing just what selections will be rem
dered by the band at the concert, the
management makes public the follow
ing programme, which, however, does
not include big list of popular en-
cores:
1. Symphonic Poem, Lies Pre1udes''
"What is life but series of pre-
ludes to that unknown song whose
initial solemn note is tolled by death ?
The enchanted dawn of every life is
Love. But where is the destiny on
whose first delicious joys some storm
breaks not; some storm whose deadly
blast disperses youths illusions;
whose fatal holt consumes it's altar? ?
And what soul thus cruelty bruised,
when the tempest rolls away, seeks
not to resist its memories in the
pleasant calm Of rural life. Yet man
allows himself not long to taste the
kindly quiet which first attracted him
to natures lap; but when the trumpet
signal sounds, he runs to dangers
post, whatever be the fight that calls
him to its lists, that in the strife he
may once more gain full knowledge
Of himself and all his strength
Other Numbers.

(a) The Red Man.
S'And they stood on the meadows with
their weapons and their wargear,
Painted like the leaves of autumn,

(b) The White Man.
They sailed, they sailed. Then spoke
the mate,
s'This mad sea shows it's teeth tonight,
He curls his lips, he lies in wait, with
lifted tusk as if to bite"
All that night! Of all dark nights!
And then a speck-
A light! A light! A light! 1t grew, a
star-lit flag unfurled;
1t grew to be times burst Of dawn; !;
he gained world; he gave that
world it's grandest lessonr ION
and on"
&C. The Black Man.
E'Now, de blessed little angels up in
heaven, we are told,
Don't do nothin' all dere lifetime
