would co-it at least $1.00 in Chic-
' uro at the Hotel La Salle. The
dining room seats four hundred
and at the beitfht of the meal
there are al way s6ine waiting

pcuoiarlty of the dining service;
the aanie applies to the room,,

day. Uothec thing I wight (KV
here U that Los Angles Is en.
. tertalniog niorj tourist than an
. Francisco, notwithstanding, .the
Exposition Is in progress at San
b'rancisco, and Los Angeles has
only her natural attractions. We
were delighted with the city aud
its beautiful surrounds, and
spent, uiore time thre
did in San Frapclsco. Numerous
side trips ran be taken from here
to good advantage and they, are
. intorostlngand well worth while,
ai well as many things in the
city ct interest. '.' .
- ' Lo Angeles has a population
of over 550,000 and is one of. the
fastest growing- cities on- the
1 I'aoific coast. It also haj the,
best and the largest street car
system in the world, have con
s.dcrable over enough tradk'',to
- reach a million mile, if it ,were
alt single track, with 1,800 men
' to, run their rs "in- service. Of

SINGING CONVENTION NOTES
BY THE SECRETARY
. In tho report of the Singing
Convention in lust week's U era Id
we only gave a brief report of
tho proceor'ings and nor will try
and give a more detailed report
of ecli choir. We had in this con
vention two lew choirs and now
We propose to give our im-
prectiion of each choir and t,hlr
singing. .The first one we will
notice is th
Eut Eingf Mtn. Baptist
Cora Mill
Alt who have heard this choir
sing in the past rfnow they sing
well. This choir was led bv M.
J. : J. ' Alexander who has had
charg0of it for three or f ur
years. ;The organist was Miss
Kosa Qehrteld and she plays real
well giriag good expression and
accent.1 which aids materially in
choir sinking. :
GriaCaarch K. E.
This was one of the new choirs
present for the flr8t time and
they entered into the spirit of
the Convention- with the greatest
enthusiasm. This was quite
large choir and was led also by
Mr. Alexander of the Cora Mills.
Miss EUiel Davidson was the
organist and did h e r part
well. We also noticed the Pastor,
Rev. B. A. Culp, taking art
and singing with all his might.
Will say right here that if all
oastors'would take the interest
in the music of their church that
Mr. Culp does than the musica,
interest in all cur churcl es
w iuld ue better. In the bet'in-
cing of the service tne fresiueut
extended the giad hand to (.he
new chofrs s.nd Are will expect
them next time.
ratterson's Grovr. Baptist
On i of the convention stacd-
bys, always oa hand and doing
the best of singing. Whie this
choir is not large in numbers it
id great in narmony ana voice
blending. It is alwa:s expected
. . i ; ...
of this choir to do good singing
and the people weio not disap
pointed. The most faithful mem
bers of this choir are the Fells
Sisters, the Ware'-, the Led-
ford's and Mr. Beaty and wife.
The writer was leador and organ
ist. ' - -' ", ''.-'''. .';
Mary's Grove. H. E. Sonthj
One of the new choirs- anH a
very welcome addition to the
Convention. They did some Teal
fine singing and were listened to
with rapt attention. We counted
forty-one grown K'ris in this
choir and about ten men ; and
boys. They made a very . iayor
able impression on the audience
and too cauch cannot be said in
their fa Tor. Mr. Hudson Ham
ric't was leader and a good One
while Miss Wright, was organist,
; Oak trove. Baptist
Only portion Of this good
choir was present and they did
not sing in the forenoon yet they
came bravely forward I t .the at"
ternoon and sang several selec
tions very - uicely. Several of
their principal singers Were "ab-;

lot of singing girls as he had
ever heard, and that was saving
a g'-ent deal as ho has traveled
quite exstensivelv and taught in
fifteen different states.
; Notes.
The hospitality of Bessemer
City was unbonded and every
Kinuness mat couia nave been
shown was given gladly. A few
mistakes were made in the sing
ing by several of the choirs and
it was caused by people trying
toting with them without the
practice chat they evidently
needed. Choir leaders should
no- allow people from every
where to come in acd try to help
and probably ruin tha practice
of sevferal weeks.'
This Convention also held its
hieri record of attendance. Peo
ple packed the aisles all day,
seemingly content just to get in
hearing distance.
Tho President was at his best
and at each me ting wufeel more
like we did the right thing when
he was chosen to steer the con
vention bai k on to ' greater
things.
