REVENGE FOR OPPRESSION. Music Outlet for Feelings of Oppreas. ed People of Poland. Paderewski the Great Pianist, Coming to Ral eigh on Next Tusday Night, Janu ary 23rd. U is said that Poland found in music revenge for oppression and dis memberment. Poland may well be proud of her composers. Chopin said the last word in piano music. Tschai kowsky, the greatest name in more modern instrumental music, was of Polish descent. Sembrich and the de Reszkes are Poles. The list of pian ists include Chopin, Leschetitski, Mos zkowsky, Slivinski and Josef Hoff mann And from Poland comes the most commanding individuality among virtuosos since Paganini, Jan Ignace Paderewski. Paderewski, who appears in Ral eigh on January 23, was born No vember 6, 18?50, in Kurylowka in Po dolia, a province of Russian Poland. His father, suspected of patriotism, was in 18G3 banished to Siberia, whence he returned several years la ter a broken man. It is said that Pa derewski inherited his genius from his mother, who died when he was a child. He exhibited great talent at an early age, but he had little real train ing until, as a youth, he went to War saw and studied the piano under Ja nothn and harmony under Roguski. His first concert tour was made when he was sixteen in Russia, when he played his own compositions and those of other people; but everything he played was really his own for he did rot know the music and had so little technique that when he came to a hard place he improvised to fill up the gap. Incidentally, this tour was made in the winter and he had so few clothes that he was cold most of the time. He returned to Warsaw, determin ed to be a composer rather than u pianist, and in 1879 was made pro fessor in the Warsaw Conservatory. In the early eighties he went to Ber lin, studying there with Kiel and Urban and in 1884 went to Vienna to study piano with Lesehetiski. For a short time he was professor in the Strassburg Conservatory and then re turned to Vienna to continue his pia no studies, devoting the greater part of each day to scale playing. His de but wes made in Vienna in 1887. In the spring of 1888 he played in Ber lin, Paris and London. November 17, 1891, was a memor able date when he made his first ap pearance in America, playing in Car negie Hall, New York. From the be ginning the public accepted him, but in the beginning critics were not sure. After this concert in Carnegie Hall he began a series of recitals in the then new concert hall of Madison Square Garden, but was soon com pelled to return to the larger audito rium so great was the rush to hear him. In his first tour he gave a hun dred and seventeen concerts. The following season he gave sixty-seven concerts in twenty-six cities. Other tours were in 1890, 1900, 1905, 1907 and 1909. In 1902 he came to Ameri ca to supervise the production of his opera, "Manru" at the Metropolian Opera House, New York, and estab lished a unique record. The second performance of the opera was on a Saturday afternoon, and every seat in the Metropolitan and the entire stand ing room was sold, the gross receipts being just less than thirteen thou sand dollars. The same afternoon Paderewr.ki gave a recital in Carne gie Hall, the gross receipts of which were over six thousand dollars. ? Ral ?igl> Times. i JOHNSON SCHOOL HOUSE NEWS.

"Sorry, mum," said the polite pa trolman, "I assure you we don't shuffle 'em." ? Louisville Courier Journal. Mrs. Pattie Blackman Dead. % ?? ? After an illness of three months, the Death Angel came Friday, January 12th, at noon, and took to that home on high, one more of God's faithful servants, Mrs. Pattie lllackman. She had been in poor health for several years, but had a wonderfully strong constitution and bore her afflictions with patience and Christian fortitude. H?>r unmurmuring submission to God's will and her trust in her Heavenly Father make us feel glad she was one among us. In 18GG she was baptized into the fellowship of the Mill Creek Christ Disciple Church, but afterwards mov ed her membership to the Seima Mis sionary Baptist church where it re mained until her death. The funeral services were con ducted at this church by her pastor, Rev. C. E. Stevens, and her remains laid to rest in the family burying ground, the grave being covered with many beautiful flowers. She was the widow of J. A. Hlackman, a prosper ous farmer near Selma, who died June G, 1905, and after the death of her husband she made her home at Selma, N. C., with her daughters, Misses Emma and Leone Blackman. She was a Christian woman not only in words, but in deeds, and ha? gone to her reward at the age of seventy-two years, two months and sixteen days. She leaves to mourn their loss, three boys and five girls ? J. W. Blackman, and Mrs. W. G. Ricks, of Rocky Mount; J. L. Hlack man, of Durham; Mrs. W. M. Rose, of Princeton; Mrs. J. F. Brown and Misses Emma and Leone Blackman and N. G. Blackman, of Selma, and twenty-two grandchildren and a host of friends. llor gentle hands lie motionless and still; Her voice is hushed; her eyes are closed for aye. We whisper, "dead" and sob fare wells and fill The silent grave with cold and silent clay. But in the darkness of our grief we feel The love of God breathe calm upon our way, And in the stillness, though we can not see, We know His touch and hear Him Say: "She is not dead ? not dead, but glo rified. Those gentle hands in ministry used here Still minister through lives her touch has blessed. Lift up thy head; mourn not; be of good cheer." Those silent lips still speak through other lips Cod's love to men, the weary and forlorn, And those closed eyes through other eyes shall beam Eternal faith till God's triumphant morn. A FRIEND. SANDY RIDGE SCHOOL ITEMS. There was a quiet wedding in our community Sunday afternoon, when Miss Annie Cole, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Cole, became the bride of Mr. James T. Puckett, a prosper ous farmer of this section. The couple, with a few friends, drove down to Mr. Kasom's, near Wilson's Mills, where they were united in marriage, after which they returned to the groom's home where a delicious supper was served. All present reported a de lightful time. The happy couple will make their future home on Mr. Puck ett's farm. We wish for them a long and happy life. We are very sorry to announce that Mr. J. J. Batten's folks are very sick with the measles. We hope for them a speedy recovery. Miss Nellie Rogers visited Miss Nola Coats last week. The box party at Sandy Ridge school held recently, was ? splendid success for a one-teacher school. The girls were promised a basket ball for their co-operation in this party, which they justly deserve. They presented the most beautiful, well-filled boxes ever seen there, which sold all the way from 45 cents to $(>.80. The entire proceeds of the party was $36.42, which was a handsome sum for a one-teacher school. The people of this community are beginning to wake up and see the need of a larger school house and more teachers, and the subject of most every educational conversation is local tax, which is steadily growing in the minds of the people as the first step towards a better school. We have near one hundred pupils in the district of school age, and have had more than seventy present at one time. We are looking forward in the near future when local tax will find its way to success and we will be provided with a school capable of taking care of the children in the district. A SUBSCRIBER. SANDERS CHAPEL. An epidemic of measles is blanket ing this ranch. All who have not been blessed with a case, can now be sup plied. A grandson of Mr. Tom Hill has a case of pneumonia, following the measles. Prince Albert Holland has been on the verge of pneumonia, but played "shut in" and wrestled around and compromised with a cold, cough and pain in the side. He is fixing to visit the Grand Lodge at Raleigh to-mor row. A young sparker from Cary, came cutting his foot, rooster like, against his wing at Mrs; Holland's last Sun day, who on hoisting a window to greet him, a fireside fice dog sailed out the window and put him to bow ing and scraping, like Old Bowser had him for sure. He retreated up the high steps and saved his underpinning. Mrs. Southers entertained a few of the young people last Saturday night wit- ha "crocanut .shooit" (Co coanut sherbert) party Those partici pating were, Misses Thelma Godwin, Effie Hamilton, Roberta Powell, the Misses Ford; Messrs. Ludolph and Ashley Powell, Isaac Powell, Jack Hamilton, Hud Southers and Mr. Ford. They had a skip Jack time and voted Mrs. Southers a chairming Iwrt? . ~ ? Rumor has pot it in better snape now and fays that Miss Martha San ders is sure poinp to jump the broom this week. She has "done taken in a turkey" and that is Prima Facia. Monday morninp was a cold, sleety one, and door-steps were fine to "skeet" on. Mrs. C. S. Powell was cruisinp around, and set sail out the eastern outlet, and the pood old ship revrsed her enpine, hit the breakers keel foremost amidship on the star board side of the tiller, shiftinp the turret to a recumbent position in less than a fathom of water. She was in ballast and apparently wrecked, but an S. O. S. call broupht the scout boat Charles and tup Isaac to the scene, which was in latitude 78 Vfe, lonpitude 31. They soon built a coffer dam around her, put prapplinp and derrick works to her, and soon had her in dry-dock, where she was scraped, piven a drink of schedam snapps, paid with Watkins Liniment and clover salve. The old thinp limps a little but her runninp pear is O. K. She steers clear of the breakers now. X. X. X. January 17th, 1917. Oak Grove Wins (lame.
