FRANK DIXON DELIGHTED A
LARGE AND ENTHUSIAS
TIC AUDIENCE
IN AFTERNOON
Concert by Savranoff Trio and In
terpretative Reading by Wells
Watson Ginn.
Again last night the concert pre-1
lude, of the Redpath Chautauqua was
given by the Savranoff Trio, the three
Russian musicians. Their program
was beautifully selected and effective
ly arranged.
On account of the heavy downpour
of rain on the tent, it was difficult
to hear distinctly and to some extent
marred the full pleasure of the con
cert . This, however, fortunately mod
erated and when the speaker for the
evening, .Mr. Frank Dixon, was intro
duced, it was not so hard to hear
, him.
Mr. Dixon's subject was "Taking
Stock of a Town." ile treated his
subject under four different heads
the town beautiful, the town health
ful, the town educational, and the
town governmental. With a keen in
sight and unerring aim. he pointed out
t ie failures and mistakes of thc aver
age town to achieve thc best possible
results.
Rut with the failures he suggested
the remedies and in a clear, forctble
mainer showed what could be and
had been accomplished along each of
these lines, and proved the great
economic value it would prove In the
long run.
Mr. Dixon spoke for almost an
hour and a halft and proved himself
a speaker of power and knowledge.
Afternoon Program.
The r.odpath Chautauqua presented
two very delightful program to its
patrols yesterday afternoon, and in
spite of tile rain and mud, the atten
dance was splendid.
The thirty minutes concert waB plfl
on by the Savranoff Trio, three gift
ed musicians, using the plano, violin,
and cello. Their work was particu
larly fine and fully appreciated by thc
audience us shown by tho frequent
encore.
The other number on the program
was interpretativo reading, "The Man
From Home." by Wells Watson Ginn.
In four acts, ho gave this popular
look by Booth Tarkington, and bis
protrayal of each character was done
with, a fine distinction of traits and
peculiarities that made each person i
/cal to bis audience, and he held their
I close' attention to the end.
Mrs. Fannie Roland.
Mrs. Fannie Roland, wife of Mr.
Henr Roland, died' at 1:30 o'clock
yesterday morning at their home No.
SI Henderson street, Toxaway Mill
Tillage. The remains will be taken

Mrs. Roland is survived by her hus
band and five children.
George Fitch Apologizes for Writing a
Love Story.
In the May American Magaxine
George Fitch, the famous Illinois hu
morous writer, begins a new two
part story entitled, "Cupid vs. Ge
ography"-a humorously alarming
prophecy, it is a love story and thia
is the way he Introduces it :
"Once more my biennial feeling
that I should write a love story is
coming too strong to resist I am
beginning to believe again that In
refraining from romance aa a theme
I am shirking ?ny duty. A billion love
stories are being enacted into matri
mony during each generation, and the
task of reporting them should be
shared by ill,
"Who am I that I should sit happily
by, writing of sports and politics,
noons, gre?n< cheese sad automobiles,
while a thousand panting authors
aie emerging from the honeyed mo
rasses of the last happy chaptera of a
love tale, only to breathe heavily and
begin doggedly on another collection
of saccharlnew Ords?
. "Yet I always fight against the call
of duty. It Is not because I feel the
writing of love stories to be an .un
manly sort ot business, t ir it Isn't.
I There's a man mixed up in every love
story. Bat I dont like to write the
soft, adhesive Piarte J the romance.

these innovatious days.
"I am helpless before the rush of
time which has changed our customs
in the last decade until we have to
look at the morning polletti to find
ont what Is still Improper or uncon
ventional. I have tried for a yser
to spy apon a proposal in order to

Attendance Large.
A picnic for thc poor children aud
mothers of the city ls being planned
by the local post of the (Salvation
Army, Ensign Belcher In charge. Mr.
John W. Linley has kindly consented
to the use of North Anderson park
for the picnic, which Ensign Belcher
hopes to be able to give either In thc
mouth of July or the month of August.
It is presumed that the picnic will
be carried along lines similar to
those followed In larger cities where
picnics are given for the Woor chil
dren and mothers of the communlty
hy the Salvation Army. Contributions
aro usuall solicited from the pilbil**
to defray the expenses of the outing,
or the housewives of the community
are called upon to furnish lunches
for the occasion. As a rule the events
are always successful and many hun
dreds of poor children are enable to
enjoy a delightful outing which they
probably could not otlierwlse enjoy.
The regular Sunday aftpropon
meetings held by the Salvatlofi Army
are steadily growing In Interest. Last
Sunday five companlea were present
at the Sunday afternoon service.
Envoy Bellinger, who is assisting
Ensign Bellinger in the work here,
alone brought 40 children from the
Anderson Mill village to the services.
Each children bore a .small ting in his j
or her hand, and tho spectacle was

There is no doubting the fact that

come nobly to the assistance of the
Salvation Army in their efforts to af
ford a day's innocent pleasure for the

of the community.
