MISS BLANCA RANDALL
TO SING FOR MUSIC STUDY

1t will be remembered that before 60
ing abroad the last time Miss Biance
Randall was expected to sing In Bir-
mingham, but owing to a bereavement
in her family her plans were altered
There are a large number of music
lovers who will thus be interested In
the news that she is to appear before
the Music Study club the evening of No
vember in recital to be presented at
Cable hall. This will be the first of the
three open meetings of the club and
all members who have paid, dues for the
year will receive tickets for themselves
and escorts for the concert This is
slightly contrary to the custom which
is to prevail in the club, as hereafter
members for each of the open meetings.
Miss Randall is sister OF Mr.. James
Randall of this city. She has studied
in Europe six years with the very best
of teachers This charming young
southern woman has just returned
to tour the south and west in concert
In Paris she was. a decided favorite,
especially in fashionable salons where
she had the honor of singing for many
persons of note, among them the presi-
dent of the republic.
In Italy she has been asked this sea-
son to create a role in new opera
which is to be produced this winter, but
her heart longed for her own people
after her years of absence. Jean de
Reszke, her master, predicted for her a
brilliant career, believing it possible
for her to do anything New York critics
compare her voice to Farrar's, and per-
sonally she resembles Eames.
Her repertoire includes leading roles
in twelve operas in French and Italian,
French Italian, German and English
songs.

Both Inconsistent,

What would you think of a mother
who, after urging her son not to smoke,
would go to store and purchase a
supply of cigarettes and present them
to him? A right-thinking, doting moth
er would dare not do that; yet after
condemning the prevailing style OF
dress among young women, she will
select an ultra-f fashionable pattern for
her daughter and then purchase yard
and half of silk to make the dress.
Hardly more than that is needed now.
Appealing to boy not to smoke and
then giving him cigarettes is not any
more inconsistent than to oppose your
daughters manner of dress and then
supply her wardrobe with the obJec-
tionable garments. Wherein lies the
difference? Let the mothers answer.

Inexcusable Delay.

Speaking of the delays of the courts,
the most notable instance of the laws
delay on record in this section of the
country was that of two men VIII o were
convicted of wrecking bank in Ashe-
vile. Fifteen years ago, the presi-
dent and another official of bank in
Asheville were tried and convicted of
unlawfully making way with the funds
of the bank, and through the efforts
of their attorneys the case has been
tied UP in the courts since that time.
Instead of promptly serving
their sentence behind federal prison
walls, these men have been on bond
pending the decision of the higher
courts. One of them was committed
to prison last week and the other is
still enjoying his liberty, being it is
alleged too i'll to be taken to the peni-
tentiary.
There is something radically wrong
when it is possible for case to be tied
up in the courts for period of 10
wears after the accused has been con-
yicted and sentenced. Such delays
rather encourage lawlessness.
