The first musical play presented
upon the American stage was '1rhe
Beggar's OPERA" by John Gay. which
was produced ut the Nassau Street
theater in New York III years ago.
A considerable proportion Of the TO-
600 people then comprising the popu-
lation of New York attended the per-
formance although there were not q
few who protested against the "god-
less affair" and threatened to shave
the law on It."
The Murray & Kean company, a
band Of comedians who went to New
York from Philadelphia, was respon.
sible for the production. 1t was a
benefit performance for Thomas Kean,
who personally called on the leading
citizens and sold tickets. The per-
formance began at 6 o'clock and was
over at 9:45. a harlequin dance, q
pierrot dance and "rhe Drunken
Peasant" were presented as "entertain-
ments between the acts"
"The Beggars Opera" was long
popular. and some of Its lines are still
quoted, among them: "IIow happy
could be with either, were t'othe,
dear charmer awayl l"-Chicago Jour.

According to mall advices from

Shares Of Stock Arc Given.
(GaHney Lredger.)

2 d 1sJ .
Limestone College now belongs to
the South Carolina 'Baptists.
For some time the work Of making
the transfer has been under way, and
on Thursday the final papers were
signed by DR.. w. G. Hamrick, chair
man OF the board Of trustees, a copy
Of the transfer was recorded in the
Clerk Of Courts office, and the origi-
nal forwarded to the proper officials.
The transaction consisted Of the
transfer Of four hundred shares of
stock Of Limestone College, formerly
Cooper-Limestone Institute, to the
State Convention Of the Baptist de-
nomination Of South Carolina.
This transfer makes available an
operating fund in control Of tho Bap-
tist State Convention which is ex-
pended Oh all it's institutions Of learn
ing. The amount Immediately be-
| coming available to Limestone Col
lege under this head is about $4,000,
and additional amounts will be re-
celv6d from time to time.
The transfer will also entitle Lime
stone to 100000 Of the educational
funds Of the Seventy-five Million cam
paign when the full amount shal,
| have been collected.
Limestone Is now In better shape
| than ever before in the history Of the
institution. In Its early days it was
struggle to keep the college going
This burden fell upon the shoulders
Of Prof. H. P. Griffith, and to him is
due the major portion Of praise for
carrying the work on when the fight
was fierce. In 1896 Capt. Griffith re-
signed the presidency. He was sue
ceeded by DR.. John Mack, who held
the presidency for three years. Then
came DR. Lee Davis Lodge from the
State Of Maryland. DR.. Lodge was
young and enthusiastic, full Of pep
and ginger and determination. The
college, however, was not strong in
finances, and it has taken all the
combined qualifica tons of the genial
Doctor to keep the institution going.
AS rule college presidents are
mighty poor business men, but DR..
Lodge has proven to be an exception
to the rule. He has managed to make
ends meet, although at times this has
been difficult, and very often he has
been able to show balance on the
right side Of the ledger.
Now that the endowment fluid for
! Limestone is we'll under way and
new sources Of revenue have been
tapped by the transfer, the institution
is expected to make moro rapid
strides in the future than in the past
