MUSIC FESTIVAL GREATEST YET HELD Spartanburg's Spring Musical a Splendid Success From Every View (Special to The Citizen.) Spartanburg, S. C. May 5. The May festival has closed and Spartanburg has again scored a great musical triumph. The opinion is beard on all sides that It has bfeen the greatest musical festival ever known in Spartanburg. In fact, it is said, that it has never been surpassed in the south. Well known musical crit ics who have been in attendance say there is no better music than has been heard here in the festival concert this week. Mr. David Bispham and Mr. De.Voto were the soloists Friday night in the final concert. Both completely capti vated the audience. As a piano soloist Mr. DeVoto probably has but few equals in America. It is easily conceded that no better baritone has ever been heard at the festival than Mr. Bis pham. Among the other artists who also completely captivated the audience were Miss Anita Rio, Miss Janet Spen cer, Mr. Glenn Mr. Frederick Martin and Mr. George Chais. Emll Mollenhaur, conductor. Dr. R. H. Peters, of Converse college, most ably conducted last night's con cert when Faust in entire opera was sung. In point of numbers the occasion was also a great success, and will long be remembered, no shadow of doubt exists. Dr. Peters speaks most interestingly of the approaching Southern Music Teachers' convention to be held this summer at Ashevllle. He says that the occasion will probably be the largest ! one in the history of the association i The musical program is now being ar- I ranged and includes many well known musical states. The people of Spartanburg are look ing forward to getting a handsome new government building to cost about ?35, U00. A bill to this effect has already been favorably reported on by the com mittee on public buildings, and it is hoped by the people here to have tne new building up within a year's time, a new cotton mill to cost $.jOO.(KHi is in the course of construction. Spartanburg 13 becoming a great cotton market on ac count of the increased demands from the mills. Ralli Bros., McFadden Bros, and Sanders, Swann & Co., all have established agencies here. The town has taken on a remarkable growth. A large number of hansome residences are being built; a $50,000 hotel is being erected at Wrhite Lithla Springs, seven miles out of the city and the electric car line is being extended there; the city's streets are being handsomely paved and many other Improvements are in progress. Spartanburg Is also becoming a great distributing point for wholesale houses. It now ranks third in size of her sister cities in the Pal metto State and Spartanburg county, second in point of numbers in the State. As a cotton manufacturing center the county easily stands preeminent as be ing the foremost cotton manufacturing county in the South. FRED A. JOHNSON". HOW ONE OF THE BOYS BEGAN PLAYING VIOLIN Among the artists who will be heard at the opening of the auditorium on Wednesday by the Boys' New York Symphony Orchestra Is one of whom the following is told. Luigi Allessandro was weatherbeat en and dirty when he lived down in the Italian ouarter of New York. His old grandfather was his book of wisdom and he loved to sit for hours and listen to the tales about musicians in the old man's day in sunny Italy and the crow ning glory of it all was to see grandfather take down his battered old violin and hear him draw forth sweet 7 Francesco Sabatlno, Solo Harpist. melody. Its low rumbling undercur rent of sadness, the instrument's high sound of glee moved little Duigi strangely. The bov secured the violin and Di rector Pinto happening along, heard him and enquired at the door: "Have you a violinist in heTe? he asked. The tired looking woman who an swered his knock smiled. "All, that lit tle rogue Luigi; he is somewhere away. My boy comes from ancestors who could play. Ah, If he only had a chance." An arrangement was made on the spot and now Xaiigi Is fast becoming a remarkable young fellow. He is as happy as the day is long, and would rather play the violin than eat. YOUNG WOMEN FIREMEN SAVED THE PROPERTY (Special to The Citizen.) VcK-fonnd V. . Mar 3. On Satur day morning the steam saw mill owned by McFee & Cole was burned, t ne saw frame and carriage is entirely rumea. but the boiler and engine can be re paired. The lumber was all saved by hard work by some near neighbors mostly girls. The loss is estimated at $300. The mountains have been afire the the past week in all directions. The fire is doing harm by burning fences and the timber. Farmers are busy preparing land and planting corn at this place. Wheat looks like it is going to make a failure in this section. There is a fine prospect of a good fr-i lit .Wfcn Mrs. D. H. Shook gave a party to tne young people on last Friday night.

HOWLAND. -Iff ' i t r r If .V n GOVERNLIENTLIAY YET BE TOO LATE Tremendous Inroads on Forests Will be Made for Tan Bark FEARINGPARK BILLWILL PASS Lumbermen Will Get as Much as Possible Before Protec tion is Given (Special to The Citizen.) Marshall N. C. May 5. The work of gathering tan bark, the bark of certain varieties of oak, la just beginning in f- rnest. As it is sold by the ton, and this place is expected to be an exten sive market for this commodity, new scales are being put up for weighing it. It Is said the price will be at the open ing of the market, about Jo per ton. The fair prospects of the early estab lishment of the Appalachian Forest Re serve have doubtless had effect of ac centuating these onslaughts into the oak torests primeval, since it is feared that this reason may be the last in w hich the ruthless woodsman may fell the stately oaks and leave their now unmerchantable trunks to decay on the mountain sides, Just in order to realize the paltry sum the bark will bring from the extensive operations that are to go forward during the season, it would seem that the government will find comparatively little to be protected by its regulations and the secretary of agriculture, In tens of thousands of cases will be too late. The indications now are that the fruit crop will, be tne most abundant that has been seen in the county for many year, unless some unusual misfortune befall it. This is particularly true as to apples and jieaches. In every nook and corner of the county the peach trees are laden with the young but healthy and growing fruit. The apple trees are Just now in full bloom, redolent with a perfume as delightful as a spice laden breeze from Araby the Blest. But the old-fashined brandy distillers, of whom many still survive in Madison, discon solately look upon these splendid proph-inlf-s of the wealth of golden and ruby fruitage, summer and autumn, and then they sigh for the days that are no more. Perchance a soliloquy from the lips of one of these quaint, unique, disfranchis ed alchemists may now and again be heard, running twith apologies to the shade or Tennyson) something like this: "Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean; Tears from the depths of some divine, despair. (lather in the heart and rise to the eyes, In looking on these happy orchard blooms, And thinking of the laws that are rio more." He knows full well that not this au tumn (maybe some other autumn) he w ill have the chance legally to coax from the blushing peach or the many mlored apple, their rich, rare Juices and "cunjuring ' them into that which thi? rude forefathers of the hamlet quaffed. Yesterday the mutilated body of a ne gro was found on the railroad. two miles west of this place. The officials were notified and Superior Court Clerk Whits, owing to the absence of Coroner McDivitt appointed Dr. W. J. Weaver to hold an inquest. On investigation tnc deceasetf was found to be Sherman Henry who had formerly lived here, but recently residing at Hot Springs, a ne gro about 30 years of age. The evidence before the coroner's jury indicated that the deceased had been drinking, and the verdict was to the effect that his death was accidental, having been run over by a train. At the Couper Memorial church yes terday. Rev. W. P. Benedict, lately of Pennsylvania, filled the pulpit for Rev. i. H. Polhemus, who is absent for a feu weeks, and to assist whom Mr. Bene dict came here. Two excellent discours - s, one at 11 o'clock, the other In the evening, were heard by good sized con riegatlons. At the evening service the mnouncement was made that the clos ing exercises of the Walnut Spring school would take place on Friday ar ternoon, and the public was invited to attend.

The Bingham baseball team of Aahe- ville played the Greenstboro league team here last Friday and made a fine showing against the profeeeionaJs, holding them down to six rune, scoring three. But for some costly errors mad in the second and third innings, the 'young una" might have cleaned up King Kelleys whole layout. Though a little nervous at flrat, te boys soon settled down and played nice ball, to a large attendance of sympathetio mal- iens and enthusiastic rooters and dead vime sportsL This makes the fourth game for the cadets on thte trip. Ttoey played Rutherford college m Hickory. Monday, winning easily 18 to 4. Tues y, in the ninth inning with Catawba college, they won out in the most ex iting and hot games they have played, 8 to 7. In the Wednesday's game with T.T. N. C. the boys say iey were so sore and stiff and just could not play ball or they would not have been so badly worsted.

Haywood coun ty bas done well in the matter of pay ing poll taxes. Reports received from all over the country are to the effect that practically all Democrats liable to the poll tax have paid. In Waynesville township it is said that only one Dem ocrat failed to pay. The Republicans have done well, too, but it is said that many more Republicans in the county than Democrats have failed to quali fy themselves for registration. Tour correspondent is informed that quite a number of voters of both par ties in Jackson county have failed to pay their poll tax in time, but that many more Republicans than Demo crats have failed in that county, also. If these propositions hold out throughout the district, Congressman Moody's chances, which were slim enough before, will not be calculated to Inspire him with strong hopes for suc ceeding himself. So far as your correspondent is in formed, Maj. Wilson's atack on Judge Clark has strengthened rather than weakened the Judge. Whether It be true or false, a strong Impression pre vails that corporate influence is seek ing to defeat Judge Clark and it is re garded by some as unfortunate for the corporations that Maj. Wilson "put in." On account of the lower altitude of Jackson county, it is almost always the case that vegetation west of the Bal sam range of mountains which forms the line between that county and this is two or -three weeks earlier than on this side. This year it is not so but is abut jjniform on both sides. This is accounted for by the fact that the late cold spring retarded vegetation on both sides and that the rising of tem perature, instead of being gradual as usual, was so sudden and rapid as to affect both high and low attitudes alike. The oldest inhabitant has per haps never w itnessed so rapid a growth of foliage. The operettas "Hiawatha" and "Lit tle Red Riding Hood," rendered by the pupils of the graded school, were the attractions alAcademy hall Friday eve ning. The entertainment was liberally patronized and enjoyed by quite a large audience. Congressman Moody has been at home for several days. It is suspected that he had bee much more deeply in terested in the payment of the poll tax by the voters of the Tenth district than in the proceedings of Congress. Among recent arrivals at 'the Ken more are Harry A. Zink of Steubens ville. O., J. W. Morton, R. M. Beadles, J. Robert Jordan, H. D. Child, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Brown, M. H. Kelly of Ashe ville, B. F.

SEUATQRSirilONS HAS MADE A HIT More Than Gratified Most Ar dent Friends by Course in Washington PHILIPPINE SPEECH FINE No Encampment of State Guard This Year, Because of Lack of Funds CitUen Bureau, Park Hotel Annex, Raleigh, N. C. May 5. It appears from what can be picked up in the way of news that the Clark Russell letters are to be given a waiting public this week and that they will add considerably to the gayety of nations. The weather bureau s propnets ieu down yesterday. They predicted a pip- ng hot Sunday, but about 3 o clock the wind went to the northwest and made a great change. It was as delightful as t was unexpected. Senator Simmons is making a distinct hit at Washington. One of the brightest men in this state said: "Simmons has more than gratified his friends and as tonished those who did not know his ability. His Philippine speech was capi tal; really a masterful thing. There will be no encampment or tne State guard this year. The cost of sending the provisional regiment to the Charleston exposition was between $4000 and $5000. The State never had a better representation outside of its bor ders than this regiment gave it. it appears that there are several aspi rants for the position on the corpora tion commission which will be made vacant by the expiration of Dr. Ab bott's term of office. Among the aspi rants are Thomas W. Mason and E. C. Beddingfield, both ex-members, Henry Clay Brown, the veteran secretary; a Mr. Wratson of one of the northeastern counties and perhaps others. The darkeys had yesterday what is know n as a "big baptizing." They very often use as a "baptizing hole" a place n a creek into which the sewerage from three state institutions empties as well as a city sewer. The Boston Festival orchestra gave a noble performance here Saturday even- ng. It goes to Durham today. Street improvements here appear to have entirely stopped. GOV.
