GOLDEN JUBILEE CONCERT.
HUNDREDS OF SUMTER PEOPLE
AND VISITORS PLEASED BY
SWEET SINGERS.
Chorus Of Beautiful Voices Elicits
Much Praise From the Many Vino
Attended Tuesday Night-Annual

1t Is seldom that q city of the size
of Sumter has the pleasure of listen
ing to singing of so high an order
and of such great variety as that
which was heard at the Academy of
Music Tuesday evening when st.
Joseph's Academy celebrated it's fiji
tieth anniversary in Golden Ju-
bilee Concert. The concert was large
ly attended by people of Sumter and
the surrounding country and there
were many visitors present from other
points In the State who had come for
this event.
The chorus was not a large one.
There were only fourteen female
voices and seven male voices, but the
music rendered was of high order Of
excellence and many were the fav-
orable comments and excalamations
of delight from members of the au-
dience at the close Of the concert
The appreciation of the audience was
attested time and time again In the
liberal applause which was rendered,
many Of the singers being called back
by the encores Of the lovers of music.
The chorus was trained by
Miss A. E. Hanley, who had done her
work thoroughly. Miss Hanley also
rendered a solo near the close of the
concert and was encored, again and
again. Miss Carmel Hanley played
the accompaniment to the singer on
the piano. The music from violins
was a feature which was also COM
mented upon and which received
many word boquets. Mr.. Devineau
showed himself an artist of wonderful
ability and the people Of Sumter will
always in future hail his coming here
with the greatest delight.

for Some Benefits.

all cOnfirmatory of the continuance of
their great growth; population in
creasing largely by additions from
the Northern and Western States, and
also through the immigration from
other countries.
Business in every one of them is at
a record, but none of those best in
formed as to conditions which affect
trade have any idea that the maximum
has nearly been attained.
From Maryland all along the line
Of the South until California is reach
ed there are larger acreages now un-
der cultivation than ever before in
this country's history, and cotton and
wheat crops never looked better for
the time of the year than they do at
this present hour.
Manufacturing in the South spreads
with every season, and the develop
ments of Southern industries. in cot
ton and tobacco manufacturing, cot
ton seed and it's various products, in
kaoln. tale and coal, in quarries, in
machinery, shipbulding, iron, steel
and coke, sulphur, salt and in timber,
lumber and various workings Of wood,
all go to increase in numbers the in
dustrial classes of the South. These
give to that section the profits ac-
cruing to the labor which turns nat
raj resources and raw materials into
the accommodating wealth of that Sec
ton.
The fertility of the soil assures of
long continued production and large
crops, while the mildness of the Gil
mate Of the region south of the To-
tomac frees the people, not only of
much of the rigors of the more North
err States, but of heavy costs for fuel
during the winter months.
Working people can live at less ex-
pense in the South than is possible in
the majority of the Northern States,
and now, when work is plenty, both
North and South, thousands of arti-
sans from the North spend their win
ters in the South, busy at their va
rious occupations, earning good wages
and enjoying the balmy climate from
Virginia to the Rio Grande
1t is when the Panama canal opens
and permits the South to use the ad-
vantages of location, as well as those
it possesses in waterways, ports and
natural productions that will begin
the era of agricultural, commercial,
industrial and financial development
of that section of the Union, which
will augment the prosperity of all the
other sections of the country.
Ohio and Cincinnati will secure a
full share Of that prosperity, and will
be represented in the exports and inn
ports OF every Southern port from
Baltimore to Galveston.
