 Concert In Putnam


 Miss Gertrude Gronow's Royal Welsh Ladies Choir is to give con cert under the auspices of Che Second Congregational church choir in the au- dllorium of the Second Congregational church on Monday evening. April IS Female choral singing occupies u very important part in the musical life of Wales. In almost every village the formation of q ladies chorus is termed q necessity Year in and year out assiduous training is maintained Concerts are given throughout the land by the most promising aggrega= tion with resultant national fame.
 Chorally and vocally Wales is un- surpassed An hour with the Royal Welsh Ladies Choir under the leader ship of Miss Gronow will bear out this statement The members of this choir thoroughly representative of Wales, are highly trained voealists and mu- sicians. graduates from the best col leges in Britain.
 This particular choir has appeared in all parts of the British Isles and on the Continent. and was commanded to sing before the Prince of Wales and other royal personages. As a result of this royal recognition. the choir was called upon to give concerts all over the country. The prefix Royal to the name of the choir was especially con ferred upon il by the Prince when he asked to have each member presented personally to him after he had heard them sing.
 The initial appearance of the choir in Canada and in the United States has been brought about as result of earnest appeal from musical communi- ties on this side of the Atlantic This choir has presented programs in many of the leading cities in New England that have not only satisfied the most exacting musical critics but have been pleasing to all. They come here at the invitation of the Congregational choir, which is not seeking to profit financially from the concert. but to give the people of Putnam and viein- Ity an evening of the highest grade of

Johnson-Haywood antiklan bill,
which was passed by the senate

was slated to come up for passage
In the house.
The bill, sponsored by two for.

the dissolution of the remaining
chapters Of the Ku Klux Khan in
North Carolina, by prohibiting the
establishment or operation Of secret
orders in the State.
Khan officials were reported to
be attempting to muster up some
opposition to the bill when it
reaches the floor of the House.
These officials have branded as
false reports that q majority Of

have surrendered their charters as
a result of the open break between
Judge Henry A. Grady, State grand
