ted. AT Los Angeles and Pasadena,
where they established residence for
vocal training and work, they were
greeted by the largest audiences ever
drawn by a quartet. The work Of
these four young college men will
explain the enthusiasm with which
they were greeted.
Many of our great men come from
the farm but 1t is seldom that we hear
of musicians from that source. Ed
ward Hamm, tenor, Henry Froth, sec,
ond tenor and John and Herbert
Richert, baritone and basso, were all
farm boys. They met at Tabor Cor
lege in Kansas, and afterwards went
together to southern California where
they sang for the pure love of It.
Eventually the world discovered them
and, being made of the right stuff,
they have worked faithfully and ar
duously to make themselves perfect
and attain their high ideals.
Testimonials of their splendid sing
ing and fine programs come from all
over the country and the press is
unanimous in giving them the highest

When four fine vocalists have been
studying and practicing constantly for
eight years, harmony may reasonably
be expected. The Emmanuel Male
Quartet, which is said to rank first
among three recognized quartets of
the country, is all that the most exact
ing critic could demand in harmony
and ensemble singing. Formerly
known as the Harmony Male Quartet
of Los Angeles, and changing its
name to the Emmanuel because of its
extensive work in church and big re-
ligious organizations, thls group Of
vocalists has mads a nation wide
reputation by complete devotion to
art, constant practice and training.
Billy Sunday and William Jennings
Bryan were quick to recognize the
ability of the four young men who
sang in a California village at a
gathering of 10000 on the occasion of
the Governors visit, and drew them
from their obscurity into the lime

Announcement that Herbert Leon
Cope has been engaged as entertain
er for this seasons program is the
kind of news C%hautauqua committees
regard as glad tidings." Mr.. Cope
has probably the most enviable repu-
tation Of any humorist in the country
as one who thoroughly e%ntertains and
satisfies without resorting to any
thing Objectionable or cheap, and who
provokes continuous gales of spon-
taneous laughter while he is driving
home fine and worth while truths
about the philosophy of right living.
1.-THE Religion of Laughter" is the
lecture Mr.. Cope has selected for this
season. He has a personality that is
full of smiles, a funny way of assum-
ing characteristics of types he is tell
ing funny things about, and a perfect
ly splendid way of putting his jokes,
stories, epigrams and philosophy
across to his audiences.
Here's what a couple of the big
papers say of Mr.. Cope:
He put the skids under the cares
and worries of 1000 people at the
Auditorium last night. He made a
hit-decidedly. He was a King Of
Fine Fun and Laughter and we were
willing subjects. Underlying the fun
there was a fine inspirational appeal.
He made it easy to take, but it was
none the less potent. Morning Ore

called followers of Christ In a
most graphic manner he showed that
there was strength in an united army,
that the most good could be accom-

ticular creedal views but by working
together in one great Christian or
ganization.
He said that this generation was
beginning to think along these lines
and that they would be instrumental
in bringing about the new order. In
Canada great change has already
taken place and they now have one
united church. Before this generation
commenced construction there would
have to be destruction of old ideas.

steamships, of the dozen scheduled to
sail, had ventured from their piers
into the murkiness of the harbor. OF
a dozen inbound passenger and
freight steamers, only one passenger
ship was brought to its pier. Terriers
were thrown far behind their sched-
ules and freight lighters and tow
boats moved at a crippled pace.
Booming of fog horns and blowing OF
whistles made a continual din in the
harbor.
Lights were turned on In Manhat-
tan office buildings throughout the
day as though it were night, and in
some sections street lights were
kept burning. A heavy downfall of
snow before noon, and smoke from
thousands of chimneys that settled

It was learned Sunday that nego-

may result in the bringing of the

Of services Lawrence B. Greenwood,
pastor of the Church of the Open
Door. who has been an intimate
friend of Mr.. Sunday over long
period of years, last week dispatch
ed a telegram to the reyivalist in an
effort to have him come to this state
at the termination of his regular
season of engagements.
In response to Mr.. Greenwood's
telegram, the evangelist wired from
Yakima, Wash, as follows: Il would
be delighted to come to Augusta for
a campaign beginning about June
first, providing churches would ex-
tend united invitation and erect tab
ernacle if there is no suitable build
ing"
Mr.. Greenwood explained last eve
ming that the Billy Sunday cam
paigns in all sections of the country
have been conducted by underwrit-
ing the cost of building the taberna-
Gle structure and other expenses, bur
that this subscription has never
been drawn upon, the collections at
the meetings being more than ade-
0uate to cover all expenditures. Mr..
Greenwood will present the propo-
sition to the Ministers Monday Club,

of the city to elect a Mayor. and

men and Common Council The
voting places will be open from 6

term as the Democratic nominee,
or Myron E. Maddocks, the Repub-

cipated.
Following closely upon the State
election of September and the
special senatorial primary and
election, when the Republicans
perfected their organization in this
city, there seems to be consider
able sentiment favorable to the
party, indicating a turnover in
the mayors office
