A LACK OF HARMONY.

ITO begin with. there's a misunderstand-
ing between composers and managers /;
they don't work in harmony. Then things
are in a sort of transitory stage. No one
knows exactly what is wanted. The new
school is partly responsible for this
Strauss and Debussy, for instance, have
had a depIOrable effect on opera. They
have no liberation or care for the human
voice. They don't write for it. They
write only for the orchestra, which has
become the soul Of the drama. This, to
my mind, is a great mistake, for no III
strumcnt can get the effect Of that which
has gone through the human hcert. De-
busy merely makes people speak on
notes; he might as well have comedians
in his operas instead Of trained tenors and
sopranos"
What's the effect Of this on singers?
"A fatal one. There are few good sing
crs AT present They're no longer trained
nroperIv. Their chief task IL to get over

human instrument are disregarded."

PRANK MAY RESULT FATALLY.
Negro. in Woman's Garb, Shot by
His Brother-in.Law.

St. Matthews, May 26.-A foolish
prank last night may cost Paul Reese,
on the Kenerly place, three miles
north of town, his life. All the cir
cumstances tended to show that Reese
diked out in feminine attire and pro-
ceeded to the home of Dave Vaniker,
his brother-in-law, near by, mean
while indulging in manifold gesticula-
tions and unusual epigrams. Vaniker
ordered him to "stand and unfold
himself" but Reese needed not the
warning. Vaniker grabbed gun and
took "leg bail' across cotton field,
with Reese in pursuit, "all for fun. "
While at full speed, it is said, Vanl-
ker turned slightly and poured lot
of shot into Reese's arms and abdo-
men, which promptly brought him
low. Both are colored.

Judge James Izlar Dead.

Ex-Judge James F. Izlar died at his
home in Orangeburg last Sunday,
after short illness. The burial took
place Monday afternoon. Judge
Izlar was one of the most prominent
citizens of Orangeburg, and had
friends in every walk of life. He
was a successful lawyer, and was a
circuit Judge for years, later being
elected to congress. He had been in
failing health for the past few years,
and had retired from active practice.
He was 70 years old. Judge Izlar
was we'll known and had many friends
in Bamberg, and was an uncle OF
Mrs. W. II. Patrick. He had been
in Bamberg at many terms of court,
being attorney in many of the most
important cases tried here since the
county was formed. He was a fine
type of citizen. He leaves widow,
who was his second wife, and a num-
ber of children and other relatives

The old Port Royal naval station
is to be sold, lock, stock and barrel
and all that now remains of that
once busy place will go under the
auctioneer's hammer unless Con
gresham Byrnes can eliminate that
section in the naval appropriation
bill now under consideration by the
house which provides for it's dispo-
sition.
Six or seven years ago when the
navy department decided that it had
no use for two naval stations so close
together as those at Charleston and
Port Royal, various plans were sug-
gested for utilizing the latter in order
that it might be preserved in case
emergencies of the future should de-
mand it. A marine school was held
there for year or more, then it was
recently converted into disciplinary
barracks and there are now stationed
there about 400 men. While these
men do not make nearly so much
business for Port Royal, Beaufort
and the surrounding country as was
enjoyed when the naval station was
in fill operation, the situation is bet
ter than to have none at all.
The proposition now is to dispose
of the station at Port Royal to the
highest bidder to best advantage in
order that the government may get
clear of the plant or what remains
of it. This section in the appropria-
ton bill was reached Monday and
Congressman Byrnes, who has taken
the matter up with the navy depart
ment, is hopeful that he may have
the paragraph eliminated. If he is
not successful the land upon which
the station is located will at once be
sold.
He has a letter from Secretary
Meyer asking that Port Royal be ex-
cepted from the bill prepared by the
naval committee.

Dire Distress Of Refugees.

New Orleans, May 27.-Stories o1
dire distress among 1,400 food refu
gees in the vicinity of Jena, La, il
LaSalle Parish, were received here
to-day by DR.. Oscar Bowling, presi
dent of the Louisiana State board ot
health, in a letter from DR.. Mayer
Newhauser, special inspector of the
board, who is in charge of the medica.
and sanitary work among the refu'
gees in the Black River section.
DR.. Newhauser said he had just
completed trip of twenty-five miles
up Black River and that some 1,40C
refugees were clamoring for food and
are in need Of medicines.
DR.. Newhauser states that scatter,
ed about in the sWamps within q
radius of nine miles Of Jena there
were $50 negroes and $50 white peo-
pie, among whom 120 tents had been
distributed.
No rations had been issued these
people within ten days, the doctor re-
ported, and then only 500 half ra-
tions were issued. Some rations
were expected to arrive from Monroe
Tuesday.
There was not even sack OF
meal in Jena when DR.. Newhause1
wrote his report.
The letter was referred to the
food relief committee by the State
health authorities and supplies were
ordered out Immediately.
The crevasse waters in that sec
ton are falling at the rate OF two
inches day and in the Torras crevas-
se section the water is receding slow
ly, but there are more than 6,O0O
square miles of territory in Loulsi-
ana in which the people will be
kept from their homes for another
two weeks, and half of this will not
be inhabitable for three weeks or
month. .
Conditions in the section which is
being rapidly flooded by the Hymelia
crevasse are growing worse each day
and as the waters rise many more
people are being forced to abandon
their homes. The Mississippi River
however, is receding rapidly and
within two weeks the Hymelia crew
asse waters will begin to run OF the
inundated lands.

Home Mission Society.

The Woman's Home Mission Socie-
ty met at the Methodist church Tues
day afternoon, May the twenty-frst.
Devotional exercises we're conduct
ed by the pastor, Rev. w. H. Hodges.
After the reading of the usual re-
ports, Mrs. J. w. Stokes read an in
teresting account of the Home Mis-
sion district meeting at Blackville.
She reported a meeting of unusual
interest and helpfulness.
Mrs. D. N. Bourne, State secretary
of the Woman's Home Mission Socie-
ty, was introduced, and made very
helpful talk. Her plea was for a
closer fellowship with Christ in the
work. Many times, she said, we are
SO taken up with our work-even
Christian work-that we do not take
time to turn aside to commune with
God and find out His will. And so
much of our labor is wasted because
we are trying to do our Lords work
in our own way and not stopping to
learn His way.
She spoke of the small number OF
South Carolina girls who are doing
missionary work. Not one deacon
ess from South Carolina was conse-
Grated this year, and yet she, as our
States representative at the miss
ionary council, asked for a number
of these workers for different parts
of the State.
Are we going to let other States
supply the workers that we need?
She pleaded with the mothers to be
willing to give their daughters, it
God should call them, and asked all
to pray with her that our Lord may
raise up workers from our own
young people, for the homeland and
the lands beyond the sea.
