THE MUSICAL EVENT
OF THE LOCAL SEASON

The Cantata "Saul" to be Rendered by
Chorus of Trained Voices in the
School Auditorium, Tuesday Even
Ing, January 30th.
Perhaps the musical events which
are coming to be most looked forward
to In Laurens are the not too frequent
appearances Of the local singers in
dinerent cantaS. The two cantatas
THE Nazarene" and The White Sis
ter, given in the past, proved such
successes that both were repated time
and again, each successive rendition
proving better than the one before
Now that the different members have
been singing together for over two
years, they have come to work togeth-
er with remarkable unison
The cantata Saul" is the next to be
presented. The Board of Trustees of
the city schools have kindly granted
the use of the school auditorium for
the purpose and it will be given there
next Tuesday evening, January 3Oth
Between thirty and forty members
compose the caste, just enough voic-
es being present to give ample volume
in hall the size of the auditorium
The cantata is a story, told in mus
ic and song, wound around the rise of
King David to the throne of Israel
and the consequent downfall of Saul
Although it has religious setting and
possibly giving rise to a belief that
it will be dull and unntcrcsting. still
the opposite is true. The story of the
Staying of Goliath by King David is
thrilling one and is one of the most
interesting in the history of the world
Much action comes both before and
after the downfall o. Saul and this is
depicted in many striking anthems and
solos in the cantata. To those who
love maSculinity in music Saul" will
prove a revelation and for those who
prefer sweet strains of melody and
choruscS of blended voices. Saul" has
many attractions. In fact the cantata
seems to have been composed with the
idea in aiew of pleasing a cosmopoli-
tan audience. In ii are many passages
which would please the most faStidouS
and at the same time there are others
for those who are not so particular
in their choice. Taken rs whole
Saul can be said to belong to that
class of productions which is popular
with all classes.

The Plan Settled Tpon.

After mature consideration we
have decided that the best way to
secure this cooperative effort in Lau-
rens county is to ask the trustees
of every school district to call at once
a mas meeting at their respective
school houses and Mt this meeting give
every planter an opportunity 10 indi-
cate in writing how many acres he is
willing to reduce and what fraction
of what he planted last year, such re-
duction will be; whether half, a
fourth, an eighth and SO on.

The committee appointed for this
county under the Rock Hill plan for
the reduction of the cotton acreage
over the South has held a meeting and
decided upon a campaign for this
county The committee is composed
Of DIR. Fl. *, Aiken, Mr.. w. L. Gray
and DR.. w. c. Irby After the con-
ference which they held over the mat
ter, they issued call to the farmers
of Laurens County to cooperate in the
plan.
The Call of the Committee.
The call issued by the committee is
as follows:
"To the Cotton Growers of Laurens
County:
The cotton crop of 19i1-19l2 this
last crop is now admitted to be the
largest ever produced, 4 dozen south
of the worlds yield The price of
cotton is fixed by sellers and buyers
of the staple who reside outside of
the cotton belt This crop is watch
ed and reported on more closely than
any other. From the time the seed is
put in the ground until the bale drops
from the gin every circumstance and
condition affecting this crop is known
to the world. The very first step in
figuring out the probable price is to
know how many acres will be planted
in cotton. Given this information the
probable yield is forecasted with re-
markablc accuracy by men of long
training in such work and the com.
mercial value is decided upon.
"These we'll known facts are here
set down for the purpose of bring
ing out the Importance of acreage sta
tnstics in their bearing on market
prices. If the price of cotton fell
fifty per cent this year be cause we
made fifty per cent more bales than
we did last, what is the lesson from
this experience?

TELLS TAFT HE'LL WIN.
Master Batchelder of National Grange
Says Farmers Do Not Oppose Him.

Washington, d. G., July l6. Former
Governor Batchelder of New Hampshire
says Taft will win. and he has been at
the White House to tell the president
SO. He is the master of the national
grange and ought to know great deal
regarding political sentiment in the coun-
try and especially among the farmers.
That the farmers are opposing Presi-
dent Taft BECAUSE of his stand for .eci-
procity is not now true, Mr.. Batehelder
says:
The farmers are beginning to uu-
derstand that they would not have been
so greatly injured had reciprocity with
Canada been consummated," he asserts,
But the failure of the Canadian GOV
eminent to ratify the compact has left
the farmer without bitterness toward the
president. And as the average farmer
is n regular Republican. he is very nat
urally turning to the regular organiza-
ton. ! believe it to be true that the
great majority of farmers in the coun-
try will support Taft in the coming
campaign. New Hampshire will indeed
be for President Taft, and this will he

Maine. When the Republicans are called
upon in a crisis they will be found true

FATHER SCHWARTZ SAYS
SON CONFESSED MURDER
Told Assistant District Attorney To-day
That He Advised His Son, Accused
of Connors Murder, to Com
init Suicide.

New York, July l6.--Samuel Schwartz,
father of Nathan Schwartz, wanted by
the police in connection with the murder
of l2-year-old Julia Connors last week,
to-day told Assistant District Attorney
Mott that his son had confessed to him
he had killed the child, and he had told
his son to commit suicide. The father
said he believed the boy had done as he
was told to do.
Nathan Schwartz has been missing
since the day after the crime was com.
mitted. Many stories are told in upper
Third avenue neighborhoods about the
ruflian associates of Nathan Schwartz
One of his friends, physical culture
instructor" who demonstrated mechani-
cal exercises in drug store windows, is
now in Sing Sing for robbery and as
sault. Those who know Schwartz say
he travelled with gang that has its
habitat in the environs of Fourth street
and Second avenue. They think the
gang supplied him with money to help
him get away from New York.
Schwartz was convicted of revolt
ing crime against a l4-year-old girl in
1910 and was sent TO prison to serve
an indetermnate sentence of from six
months to three years, But despite the
fact of his prison term there is no pic
ture of him save in athletic shirt and
trousers. Clothes often make great
difference in the general appearance. But
the peculiarly square-shaped forehead,
heavy eyebrows. crooked nose, small,
beady, black eyes, high check bones and
pockmarked skin make this face easily
distinguishable to the police and other
experts.
