Methodist Church Thursday Eve
ning Greatly Enjoyed by a Large
Audience,
The organ recital given at Chest
nut Street Methodist church Thurs
day eVening was attended by a repre
sentative crowd of Lumberton people
that comfortable filled the main
auditorium of the church. Mr. R.
Mary's and organist at Christ church,
Raleigh, who presided at the organ, is
; well known in musical circles
throughout the South. He is a musi
, cian who knows how to play classical
! music in a way that appeals to the
j uncultivated ear.
He put the splendid
tones. And if he missed anything be
tween the two extremes it missed this
reporter.
The large audience thoroughly en
joyed every selection rendered by Mr.
Owen, also vocal solos faultlessly ren
dered by Mesdames R. R. Carlyle and
B. W. Page. Mr. Carlyle played vio
lin accompaniment when Mrs. Caryle
sang. There was great disappoint
ment that the condition of Mrs. Var
ser's throat rendered it impossible for
her and Mrs. J. Q. Beckwith to take
part in the programme, which was

of the Birmingham News, last week
lost his fight for a seat in the United
States Senate. The vote sustained
the recommendation of the commit
tee on privileges and elections, which
held that Mr. Glass was not entitled
to be seated because his appointment
by Governor O'Neal to succeed the
late Senator Joseph F. Johnston was
made after the 17th amendment to the
constitution, directing election of Sen
ators by the people, had been pro
claimed in full effect.
