a telephone exchange.
On Friday afternoon in response to
a call made by Mr. T. K Elliott, bout
twer.tr gentlemec mtl in the town hall
to discuss "Telephone." Of course,
the object of the meeiir.g was to see
wiiat could bf dot:e towards giving
Wincsboro a telephone exchange.
The News *.sd Herald has frequentlv
nrwpfl fhi> -<nd called attention to
how our nei? Kbors were surpassing u6
in the enjoj m n? of these njodern conveniences.
1' is estimated that the
cost of equipping an exchange of
about fifty 'phones would be between
$1,000 and $1,200. The plan, as we
understand it, is to organize a company,
each subscriber to pay $30, and
the 'phones, to be rented for about $1
per month. After deducting all necessary
expenses for operating and keeping
the exchange in proper condition,
it is pretty certain that the dividends
paid to each stockholder wohm at least
pay bis rent. It is hoped that the
agitation will lead to the establishment
of an exchange.
here is success to you.

Studer, for twenty years United States
Consul at Singbpore, says: "While
at Des Moines I became acquainted
with a liniment known as Chamberlain's
Pain Balm, which I found excellent
against rheumatism as well as
against soreness of the throat and
chest (giving me much easier breathing).
I had a touch of pneumonia
early this week, and two applications
freely applied to the throat and chest
relieved me of it at once. I would

great deal of damage to fences, pas*

For several weeks previous to the
arrival of Sherwood's Concert Company
our teachers as well a & our ^irU
were cherishing anticipations of pleasure.
In fact, many of the town people
were sharing in these anticipations;
nor were they to be disappointed
Ou Friday evening promptly at 8.30
o'clock, William H,. Sherwood, our
"greatest American pianist," appeared
before a large audieace composed of
about three hundred Winth.^p girls
a lftrtrft portion of Rock Hill's
I ?O- r -{citizens,
besides representatives of the
towns of Chester, Lancaster, Blacksbarg
and Yorkville. Upon Sherwoods'
first appearance on the stage there was
a load and enthusiastic clapping u f the
hands. After greeting such demonstrations
of welcome with several
gracioas bows and smiles, he seated
himself with dignity at the piano. It
can be confidently asserted that if
there was any dispute as to his really
being "the finest Pianist in America,"
there was little, that he was the greatest
master of the piano that thi? audience
had ever seen. All of bis
pieccs were truly master-pieces which
he literally mastered as a master; the
most highly appreciated were a
Tremolo by Gottschalls, Military
March by Liszt, and an Etude
("Wintry Wind") bv Chopin. The
"Wintry Winds" besides being an example
of remarkable technique, displayed
marvelous powers of expression.
No one could have heard it
without recognizing the voice of the
great power, Boreas. The voice of
tttinj Hp rlutmr.tlv heard in
lilt/ II1UW v/wu.u VN? ? ,
the music, iapn r hear it in nature,
at one time v.^i pering and murmuring,
at another whistling and shrieking,
and again moaning and moaning;
it took no unusual powers of musical
interpretation io hear this, and how a
piano can make such perfect immitions
of the wind, is a question which
must be put to Mr. Sherwood. The
Military March seemed to fill every
inchot space in oar large auditorinm.
This same march had been played as a
two by six of the best musicians in
college, and it can be pardoned that a
newspaper correspondent (observing
everything to be taken in) noticed on
the countenance of several of the girli
an expression which seemed to say:
"How is it possible that one man can
produce as much sound on one pianc
as we six girls brought fourth from
three?"
Sherwood's assistants in the concerl
were of courre all fine musicians. The

long be remembered as a notable event
in the history of Rock Hill.
We owe it to Prof. Wade R. Brown
that such a celebrity visited as small a
town as Rock HilU and it was through
him that we had ttie pleasure and
benefit of such a musical treat. Sherwood
was invited in the name of the
Cecelia Chorus. The chorus girls did
much towards disposing of the tickets,
&c. A hundred and fifty dollarguarantee
being in the question, some
of the girls worked right hard.
The reception which followed the
concert was very pleasant, and afforded
the girls an opportunity of meeting
old friends and making new ones.
There was a public meeting of the
Winthrop literary society on Saturday,
evening. Quite a number of teachers
graced the occasion. The subject of
discussion for the evening was Alfred
Tennyson. Professor Moses delivered
a delightful and instructive address
on England's great poet, and there
were a number of extracts from Ten
nyson's poems read and recited by tha
girls.
The telegram which was received
Saturday morning stating that Pres.
Johnson would be home on the 10.30
train from Charlotte created quite a
stir and excitement among tneieseoer?
and girls. Quite a number of teachers
went to tbe train to meet him, and
the warm reception he received gives
but a slight idea of the ioy and gratitude
that is in each heart at the return
of our much beloved and highly
respected president. At>ove all, are
?vg grateful that he xp restored once
more to complete health And he looks
so well and strong that we girlfl are
not going to allow him to leave us
again soon?not for so long a time
anyway! Nelle.
