PHILHARMONIC ENDS SEASON
Attractive Chamber Concert Given at the
Shubert Theatre


The last concert of the season of the Phil
harmonic Society was given last evening at
the Shubert Theatre before fairly large
and appreciative audience. The concert was
one of chamber music thus being Il depar-
ture from the two others, which were Or
chcstral.
The performers were John K Witzemaun,
first violin: s. Carlton Cooley. second vio-
lin Erich Hatcuorth viola Alfred Len.
nartz. cello: Frederick c. Rauser. piano
Arthur Luck. rontrabass. and Miss Bertha
Levin, contralto. The Instrumental mum
bers were the Beethoven string quartet in
A major. short double number. the popu-
lar Andantc Cantabie from the ma ior
quartet of Tschaikowsky, and an attractive
waltz by Dvorak. also for string quartet,
and the Trout quintet for piano, violin
viola. cello and bass by Schubert, SO called
because the theme of the variations of the
fourth movement is based on Schubert S
own song THE Trout.
The members of the instrumental en-
semble played together in remarkably
credtable manner when the few rehearsals
that they were able to hold is taken into
consideration. There were one or two Sins
in the matter of time and one apparent mis-
understanding as to whether or not a repeat
should be made, but the tonal balance was
good, the tempOs correct and the dynamic
effects fairly well observed, The selections
were very well received by the audience,
especially when their length and severe clas-
sicism is considered.
Miss Levin has voice of good quality
and moderate power. and sang with much
self possession. She was encored after her
first number. the well known aria from
Samson" and as cordially received after
her second group of three songs, which,
however, had the disadvantage of all being
in minor keys and almost identical in style
and feeling.

auction at Camp Meade, Admiral Nd. by

piled them when they went overseas. They
offer no protection against mine gases. but
others of the same type saved hundreds of
thousands of American soldiers from the
agonies Of inhaljyg the poisonous vapors
which the Germans used at every oppor-
turity against their enemies.

Cooperate With Teachers.

The community has just as many
responsibilities toward. its teacher
as the teacher has toward the school.
No teacher can do good work in
face OF opposition and criticism.
Usually she comes in as an entire
stranger, but nearly always someone
has heard something about her.
II the something" is unkind, it
should be made a point Of common
courtesy to turn deaf ears. There
is rarely a girl who has education
enough to teach but has some tall
ent or "knack" that may be made
OF immense service in the neighbor-
hood to which she is sent as a
teacher. Good business sense urges
that she be encouraged to make the
most OF it.-Southern AgricuIturist.

The Country Town Belongs to
the Co untry.

The country town is a part of the
country. 1t is one of the encour-
aging signs Of the times that coun-
try town business men are coming
to realize this. 1t has not been 30
long ago that every little town
thought it's business was to grow
into a city just as soon as possible.
Some towns and many town people
still think SO. Many small town
people too, still think that their
chief relations and interests are with
the cities rather than the country.
The most far-seeing business men
have come to know better. They
are seeing more and more clear
ly that the town, the small
city, is an integral part OF
the country. that it prospers only
as the country prospers, and that
it is the place in the scheme Of
things to be the life center OF the
country about it. The town mer-
chant who opposes cooperative buy
ing or selling by the farmers OF his
territory, the town banker who
would hinder the establishment oi
farm loan associations in county,
the town editor who neglects the
interest of the back-country dis
tricts, are becoming more and mere
o1t of date. Best of all, town folks
a e coming to see that they are out
of date. Not until the country
and the country town learn that
they are yoke-fellows and must pull
together can either make the pro-
gress it should. And both are learn.

To the voters Of the Thirty-seventh
District:
Now that the last gun has been
fred, the battle OF ballots over and
the last of the pups except very
few drowned, as directed by the
Clarion Ledger, | desire to express
my gratitude for the confidence and
support accorded me by my friends
in this last race for reelection to
the senate; and, also, for your sup.
port in other races have made. BY
your votes i'm the past you enabled
me to mike a record in the senat.
on public health legislation which
is appreciated by every well inform
ed physician in the south as we'll
as by some in northern states. By
your votes you enabled me to make
record as parliamentarian second
to none in the state. BY your
votes you enabled me to attain that
degree of influence with my fellow
senators which caused the daughters
of the Confederacy to select me to
introduce and champion the bill for
the restoration Of the old capitol.
Many OF them believe that but for
me this bill never would have pass
ed. If I had never done anything
else in my public life but this feel
that / am sufficiently rewarded for
all the the financial loss and all the
good cussin" have received from
those whose bidding / would not
follow. In all my races ! have never
asked the support OF any man
except on merit and qualification.
There is no office ! would have, il
to secure it had to run on the de-
merit OF my opponents. So far as |
know no one has criticised my Of
fetal record. Certainly no one has
attended to his duties more closely
than / have always done.
During all my cahvases / have
never had more base. Infamous
ISLANDERS secretly circulated against
me; but il seems that many people
think everything fair in politics as
we'll as in love and war"
For those who have slandered me
have more pity than desire for re-
venge. 1t is sad to see a man
made in the image OF his maker so
utterly pusillanimous.
but lest / be inclined
To render i'll for ill
o God, in me instill,
A tender, sweet good will
To all mankind"

All of the disabled soldiers in

awkward financial straits. had IL
not been for a loan of 50 900 in
cash provided for them by the Gulf
Division of the Red Cross a few
days ago. Government checks
which were due the men on the
FIRST OF the month, did not arrive
because a recent act of Congress
increasing the allowance of disabled
men in training from SIS to $50 a
month. had tied up accounts in
Washington.

Saxon, liason officer of the Red
Cross at the Federal Board, at which
the Red Cross arranged a loan Of
$1,000 from the Gull Division, which
enabled the men to live until the
arrival OF their checks. Many of the
men were married and had children
and would have suffered had not
