TulAolldp MdICu 0l, l9lJ,
Editor Keowee Courier:
Senator Shelor is conducting n
series Of articles in The Keowee Cou-
rier concerning the Rise and Fall
of His Senatorship." therefore ask
the courtesy of the privilege to say
lew words along this line, in your
paper, because. he has seen fit to

will not attempt to answer his
various accusations concerning my
actions in the Legislature. What |
have done and said in Columbia is
in the printed record, and any one
who desires to know the real truth
can learn it from the printed record
and from members Of the House bet
ter than they can from your exalted
and esteemed and bereaved Senator.
Your Senator attempts to write
about what he did in the Senate, and
yet takes up most Of his time talk
ing about me. Now, why does he
do that? If lie desires to tell about
his record (il he has any), then why
does he not do it, and let me alone?
am able to take care Of myself. But,
then, why does he want to write so
much in the papers about the affairs
down there in Columbia. since the
General Assembly has adjourned?
Why won't he wait until the next
political campaign opens? That will
be the proper time for us to give an
account Of our actions and doings.
Now, | challenge him to go into the
campaign next summer and let his
real record be aired and shown up
if he is man enough to face the music
then let all the people judge the
whole matter.
The real reason why he is SO mad
and "champing the bits SO much is
because he could not control J. II.
Orr and myself and have the whole
thing his own way. | realized that
to let him have his own way would
ruin Oconce county and make the

CasaIs' Helps Young Artists.
Pablo Casals. the famous Spanish
cellist, who will apear at the Pinney
on the evening of March "A has done
an estimable amount for struggling
artists. He is constantly bringing them
before the public in numerous ways.
Noyaes, the young Brazilian pianist,
who has already achieved remarkable
success was brought out by Casals.
In Europe Emanuel Moore is now a ia
nous composer-Casals made him so
by playing his works. This year he
vii bring out young American
singer and an American violinist.
But one of the most interesting and
original things that he has done for
young artists in general was test of
cellos that he held in Paris few
years ago. The prejudice in favor of
old instruments, the Stradavarius,
Guarnerius, etc. has proven a great
handicap to many a young artist who
was unable to afford one. Many of
them are convinced that these old in
struments produce much finer and
| bigger tones than the modern ones and
despair of making a success without
one.
| The test was made before the best
known musicians and critics in Paris
The hall was iE total darkness, so that
| Casals--who played the Instruments
| could not even see what 'cellos were
handed to him. He played the same
things on each one and then vote
was taken on them. In each case first
place went to q modern instrument
the stradavarius, however, did come
| in second.
This experiment aroused SO much
| interest that 1t was soon repeated fol
violins with precisely the same re-
| suits.

The week opened brilliantly with the

Senators at the Country club Mon
day evening, and attended by over 200
guests, especially legislators and their
wives. Tompkins' Novelty orchestra
played with the dash and the vim re-
quired for the festive occasion. Re-
freshments were served at half past
eleven, and punch all the evening. A
pretty feature of the party was the
throwing Of vari-colored serpentine at
midnight, after the dancers had
donned their supper favors, the gay
colored caps usually provided for such
occasions. Combined with the dainty
dresses of the feminine portion of the
assemblage, the coloring was fascinat-
Ing. The men reveled in the freedom
of informal dress and comfortable
fires blazing in the fireplaces. The
decorations in old rose and deep rose
carnations in the reception room were
pretty. The dining room was Ill yell

RESUME OF THE WEEKS
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

E2ITH the season almost ended,
tM the last few days before Lent
1U are filled to overlooking with
yv the rush Of social events. The
motif for the continued enter
tainment is presence of the large and
Increasing number of distinguished
men and charming women in the capt.
tai. Soon the legislature will adjourn
and the halls of lawmaking and the
halls of pleasure and feasting will
alike be deserted. Hostesses haYe been
very busy all the week, and the par
ties have been large. and somewhat
informal but informally is q social
quality which is delightful. Especial
ly Is this true of evening affairs, where
the men do not have to feel the neces-
sity of ''fussing up" as preparatory
measure to the full enjoyment of the
occasion. 1t was with this kind of
party that the Country club was
opened Monday evening, when the
Senators entertained at a dance, which
has by this time become historic as
one of the most successful social af-
fairs of the winter. The Elks' annual
ball on Friday evening, February %.

of whom come on almost the same
date, Maud Powell appearing on the
evening of March 6, and Casals, March

filled house to greet each artist, for
Boise has had so little of concert or
recital during many long months that
musical events cannot come too close
ly together for a while.
