The First Spartanburg Festival Con
cert an Unusually Attractive
Operatic Program.

The Nineteenth Annual Music Fes-
tival begins at Spartanburg, on next
Wednesday, with one of the most at
tractive programs ever presented in
Spartanburg. Two stars of the
greatest magnitude, the equals of any
that have appeared on any artists
night, will give with the assistance
of the Metropolitan Opera House Or
chestra an operate program in which
every member teens with unusual in
terest. From the opening overture,
which is the popular civilian Tell"
overture, to the concluding number,
there will not be moment that will
not hold the closest attention of the
audience.
The orchestral numbers are par
.icually attractive and will be played
by an orchestra that has made an ex-
feptional reputation as an interpre-
ter of operate music, The solo num-
bers not only are interesting in them
selves but also have been selected be-
tause they reveal the soloists at their
pest. We venture to say that those
who hear Mr.. Amato sing Large al
Factotum" will not soon forget it.
This is one of the most popular arias
n any opera, giving unusual scope
TO the vacal and interpretative pow
ers of the singer, and Mr.. Amato's
tirtuosity as a singer and his reputa-
ton as an interpreter of dramatic
husic will make his singing of this
number long remembered.
Nine. Marie Rappold, whose work
ds an operatic prima donna has won
Ter fame both at home and abroad,
Will sing delightful aria from the
popular "Il Trovatore", and the two
artists will unite in the great duo,
La che Darem", from Don Giovanni"
These are but an illustration of the
treat in store for those who hear this
dpening concert of the festival series.

Drinking Cups on Southern

Sanitary Drinking Cups on Southern
Washington, d. c., April 26.-Ar-
rangements have been made by the
Southern Railway to furnish sanitary
individual drinking cups to passen-
gers on all trains and large supply
of cups of the collapsible type has
been ordered. AS soon as the cups
have been received each conductor
will be furnished with supply and
any passenger desiring cup will re-
ceive one free of charge on applica-
tion to the conductor. Notices to
this effect will be posted in each
coach.
Furnishing drinking cups to pas
sengers on the large number of trains
operated by the Southern Railway
will involve a substantial expenditure
which is being undertaken to provide
for the convenience of patrons of the
railway. All common drinking cups
have been removed from trains in
compliance with United States Gov
ke-nment regulations and the statutes
|Aad ordinances of many states and
municipalities.
Hereafter the passengers on South
ern Railway trains will be put to no
inconvenience or expense in regard to
drinking water at the same time will
not be subject to any possible infec-
ton through the use of the common
drinking cup.
