GOOD For THE BANKS

The banks of Columbus are to be
congratulated for arranging 10 have
Christmas savings accounts for the
new year. Although there is no
profit in the plan for the banks and
the work and detail accompanying
such proposition is tremendous, yet
many people who never would have
saved money any other way will join
these clubs and the "stunt" will bring
people into the banks who never came
there before and will stimulate the
savings habit among people who
never heretofore have had bank
account. So, to the banks Of Col.
umbus, we hand our sprig Of lilac
long may they prosper.

Ot' MILL OWNER
Colonel RawOrth Extracts Joy
From Life By Making
Others Happy.

Colonel t. S. Raworth, president
and treasurer of the Tombigbee Cot.
ton Mill, has for many years past
: at Christmas time, metamorphased
himself into a real live, sure-enough
Santa Claus, to bring happiness and
JOY into the lives of the children
whose parents were employed in his
cotton mills. He did this at his old
home in Augusta, Ga, and he started
in last month to do the same thing
in Columbus. Colonel Raworth de-
rives a great deal of pleasure from
making the mill children happy.
In referring to Colonel Raworth's
generosity, the Augusta (Ga.) Herald
of January 1st, said:
T. S. Raworth is still keeping up
his good and philanthropical work in
his new home town, Columbus, Miss.
Mr. Raworth specializes each Christ
mas among the children, and his gen
erosity and thoughtfulness brought
JOY and pleasure to the hearts of the
children of the Sbley Mill district
during all the years of his presidency.
Now in Columbus he is doing the
same thing as witness the following
from the Columbus Dispatch:
Colonel T S. Raworth, the
big hearted president and treas
urer of the Tombigbee Cotton
Mill, made sixty-fve children
very happy yesterday afternoon
by giving them a Christmas tree
in the yard of the mill. They
were mill" children, all Of
them; that is, their fathers, or
mothers are employed by the
Tombigbee Company.
with the splendid help and
cooperation of Mrs. Polly Dis
ston Wilkinson, lady whose
warm heart is all athrob with
desire to see everybody well and
happy, Colonel Raworth arranged
for the mill children to have
good time and to realize that
Snta Claus is every child's friend.
A large and handsome cedar tree,
with a beautiful star on its top
most sbough was decorated with
tirsel and scarlet ropings looped.
1t was indeed very attractive and
pleased the children "tremend-
.ously."
Each of the sixty-fve child
ren received a stocking filled with
apples, oranges, candy, nuts, pop
corn balls on strings, supply of
sparklers and pretty toys.
"The tree was not given by the
Tombigbee Company, but was a
personal gift from Colonel Ra-
worth, who takes great pleasure
in contributing to the happiness
of others. So far as we know,
this is the first event of the kind
that has occurred in Columbus,
and it is quite certain that Col
onel Raworth will always be held
i'm grateful remembrances by the
mill children, for he was to
them a real, genuine, sure-enough
Santa Claus"
So he is the same golden hearted
nd lovable man in Columbus, Miss,
lat he was here when it was his joy
t Christmas time to do much for
le happiness of the employees of the
i'll, and their children. To the lit
e children of the Day Nursery, he
msclf usually played the part of
anita Claus, making good both fig
-ativoly and literally.

BIC CROWD HEARS
CITY CLUBCONCERT

The ballroom of the Clty Club was
filled to capacity last night with
crowds who listened in deepest inter-

given by the two famous artists
Harold Bauer. pianist. and Pablo
Casals,, cellist, under the management
Of Mrs. Wilson -Greene: This is the
second of the series Of concerts in
the City Club.
was Beethoven's beautiful sonata
in A Major" in which both artists
played the three movements given ON
the program. The first. the allegro.
was played with fauftless technique,
but was quite overshadowed by the
second movement. the scherZo. which
was interpreted with a spirited s." inG
that was almost gallop in its brisk
tempo: the motif of the scherzo is
unusually attractive.
The third movement. the adagio-
allegro. however. was the most beau
tiful OF the three, starting with
dreamy chords that brought out IN"
soft 'roundness of the notes Of boin
piano and cello. as executed by both
artists to perfection. The fervor OF
the composition then deepened into =
resonance that was almost religious
in its richness. ending with notes of a
clear-cut brilliance. This last was
one of the outstanding numbers On
the entire program.
In the second part of the program
Mr.. Bauer gave full evidence OF his OK
cellent technique and original methods
Of Interpretation. His first number.

Of contrasts Of soft. simple melody and
complex brilliant chords that bring out
| all Of the possible variations of the
motif.
The second of his numbers was Cho-
pins famous ''Sherzo in c Sharp Minor."
which many Washington music lovers
heard Paderewski play in BaltimoI.
just a month ago. Although Mr.. Bauer's
Interpretation suffers somewhat by com
parison with that given by the great
Pole. his playing Of the composition WAS
quite delightful and portrayed fully all
, the varying moods of the scllerzo. The
! audience was delighted and. in response
played as an encore, Mendelssohn'A
lovely "Scherzo in E Minor
The third part Of this group was
the Suite in C Major" of Bachs
which was given in a most entertain
ing manner by Mr.. Casals, whom,
Fritz Kreisler has been quoted as
calling the greatest man who ever
drew a bow" This was a group OF
dance motifs. the prelude of which
was given with especially accented
"Allemande." which had a distinctly
folk dance type of cadence; then came
the "Courante." the most sprightly
aand whimsical of the group: this
was followed by the Spanish dance.
the 'tSaraba nde." and the ''Gigue" was
the final number in this group. Mr.
| Casals gave an earnest interpret3
tion OF all Of the various dances that
was interesting and effective.
The final number of the program
was Gries's Sonata in A Minor
given by the two artists. The first
movement was the allegro agitata.
which was quite brilliant, and the
andante motto tranquillo was also full
of rich tones. but the third and finai
movement. the allegro, was a climax
of crashing melody that was almost
