SkOVGAARD CONCERT
A GREAT SUCCESS

Eminent Violinist, Assisted by Con-
traltO and PiaHiste Gave Highly En-
tertaining Concert Last Friday.
Viewed from every standpoint, the
musical entertainment last Friday ev-
ening given by Skovgaard CONCERT
Party was a highly successful one.
| Never before have the people of Lau-
rens had the pleasure or attending a
concert so replete with brilliancy of
musical talent or one so pleasing to
the aesthetic emotions. The three
members Of the party, Herr Skov-
gard, violinist, Miss Ikert, contralto
and Miss McClung, pianiste, proved
themselves artists of the first rank,
of whom criticism should come only
from the worlds musical leaders TAX
en- individually or collectively the ar
lists seemed at their best and their
best seemed to be the height of musi-
cal cultivation.
| Herr Skovgaard showed himself q
master of the violin, master of the
technique as we'll as Of all the soul
| fulness that can be brought from a
glorious Stradivarius. He certainly
won the heart of every listener. Miss
| Ikcft, With her deep, rich contralto.
that displayed, range, beauty and per-
feet enunciation received after every
number enthusiastic applause, which
subsidized only when she reappeared
to give an encore Miss McClung, the
charming pianiste. gave several selec-
tions that brought forth the widest
enthusiasm from the audience. Her
accompaniments were truly perfect
and added all that could be desired to
the evenings pleasure
The program was we'll balanced and
the listener was thrilled one moment
with the beauty and strength of selec-
tions from the classics and the next
moment with the charm and simplici-
ty of selections familiar to every
American such as "Sewanee River"
Annie Laurie" and Home Sweet
Home" Nothing, In fact could have
been added that would have made the
evening more enjoyable.
1t is we'll to add that the attention
given by the audience was exceedingly
good and this from a house that was
crowded almost to overflowing. was
in itself proof that the genius of the
artists was felt and appreciated.
The members of the party each re-
ceived large bouquets of flowers from
admirers in the audience a very hap
py incident of the evening was the
presentation to Herr Skovgaard of a
large basket of violets decorated in
the national coiors OF the artists ma
tive land. Denmark. This was pre-
sented by the members of the eighth
grade of the city schools.

Thursday the like of which has prob

near the Oil Mill, Mr.. Nelson saw an
other train approaching short dis

and jumped. The fireman followed
him. The two engines collided, but
with very slight jar, only a part of
the COW catcher on the approaching
train being broken. Coming to a
stand still, Nelson's engine. having
been reversed. began to run back

OF Lem Haley, a machinist, at NC

the Jury. deplored the recent trouble
at McComb City, and requested the
Jury to make thorough investigation
Of the killing.

malice a'orethought and not In nee
esssary self defense, is murder, and
has been since the foundation OF the
world" said the judge in his charge,

striker Just as it is murder to kill

III his opening address, to the grand
hurry, Judge Miller admonished them
that they 5rc not to know strikers OF
authorizations, and said that before
he woulu express sympathy for either
side he won resign his office.
The killing of Haley was a brutal
. and cowardly act. He was shot in the
back in the darkness, and according
to persons who were near Mt hand the
deed was committed by one OF his
companions. Haley was walking alonf
