A wave of interest and enthusiasm
has spread over the city since the an

young ladies will certainly be here and
from all reports they will be greet
ed by a large audience of music low
ers. The young ladies will sing and
play classical and humorous pieces
that will be enjoyed by every one who
Will come out. This will be unlike
the usual musical concert, in that it
will be sprightly and lively affair,
where genuine musicians can find
equal enjoyment with those who are
not so critically inclined. 1t is GER
tain to be treat.
1t was stated in The Advertiser last
week that the proceeds are to go to
the County Hospital. While it is GER
tain that the young ladies would have
been glad TO come to help out the
hospital, still the fact is that they
were invited by Supt. B. L. Jones. of
the city schools, and it Is under the
schools auspices that they are to be
here. The proceeds are to go to-
ward buying books and other things
for the school library. While here

The following very complimentary
notice was made Of their appearance
at Clemson College:
The ChicOra Glee Club.
The greatest event of Clemson life
this year was the entertainment given
by the Chicora Glee Club on Friday
evening in the Memorial Hall under
the auspices of the Greater Clemson
Association. This Glee Club is com
posed of eighteen pretty Chicora Col
lege girls. This entertainment was
a rare treat and was enjoyed to the
fullest extent by all present. The
audience gave very appreciative atten-
tion to the many good numbers sung
by this company of girls, and the i'm
mensity of the applause spoke only for
part of this appreciation. The Glee
Club was accompanied to the college
by DR.. Byrd, President of the College
and Mrs. Bellemann, Director of the
Vocal department. The young ladies
who compose this Glee Club which SO
delightfully."- entertained their audience
are: Misses Miller, Edmunds, Thomp-
son, Morrison, Langford, Owens. Nc
Queen, Engles, Simpson, James, Jones,
Murrah, Ashe, Johnson, Taber, Par
sons, Purcell, and Higginbotham
We cannot speak too highly OF the
splendid program The exercises
were by far more beautiful than any
we have had doring this college year.
Mrs. Bellamann, Director of Voice at
Chicora, deserves special praise for
the smoothness with which every fea-
ture of the program was rendered.
The concert will begin at $50
o'clock The prices for admission will
be % and 90 cents

self with the full measure of the
honors you have given me already.
When l first came into public life,
l met storm of opposition, which
was very bitter and intense. 1t re-
quired intense and aggressive action
to overcome it; and being combative
by nature, fought with all my might
for those things l thought were
right, and won because you ap-
proved my policies, my utterances and
my actions.

things were said and done on both

yiction, they speak and do things
which they afterward regret, AS

| shall hope that the people Of
South Carolina will not displace me
by voting me out, but that in some
way you will indicate a wish for me
to retire from this position because
of your belief that l am no longer
physically capable of performing the
duties Of the office. The senatorship
