TICKETS ARE ON SALI is h ? 8 d nenowned Artists Have iieen isn rie gaged and Event to be a 11 Great One e- . 0, ' An event of great interest to thi people of Abbeville will be the annua Choral Festival of the Lander Col lege Oratorio Club of* Greenwoo* 1(j which event will be held on the i8tl ?n and 19th of April. The people o Greenwood are straining every effor to make this great musical event ; 6. success in all that the word implies And.it will be an event which will b< attended by all sections surroundinj For on the days set for the Festiva a grand chorus of one hundred an< forty five voices assisted by severa k great artists from the west will enter tain please and thoroughly enteres d- those who will take advantage of th? low railroad rates to go over t( RGreenwood to hear it. Already th< in people of this section are talking abou Id it and it is safe to predict that a larg< Jjj. crowd will leave for Greenwood wher at the festivities open up there. Th< in seat sale so far has been most en Elf ie couraging to those who have put uj ^ the guarantee and the mail order foi the seats has proven a feature, ir There are to be three concerts? and all three will be of a high degree h of perfection surpassing anything >n which has ever'been seen or heard ir this section in years. The choru: under the direction of Miss Louis( Heilman director of music at Landei College is making great headway anc as each rehearsal is had the efficienc} of the director's teaching is demon' strated. One hundred and forty fiv< " voices well trained constitute no smal cnorus and is a signt well wortli tn< II small admission fee charged. But th< ?- artists who are to come from Chicagc " and other western cities bring witl y them reputations which alone prove : U great drawing card. "" The people of Greei j wood have undergone great expensi or in securing these great singers t( )r" come to their city, and they will offe an attraction, which the Abeville peo pie will be sure to accept. It is i well known fact that Abbeville peo L1 LIS. values we are only favor >s and pay st PnJ PJP UUUU \m ?11 made clears tbe brain and rejoices ? heart against tbe day's cares and rriea. We have fold more coffee, i, we are frank to say, better coffee, ring the year just closed, than ever ore in our history. We feel that ;v is tbe tim? (o still further Increase ?e sales, and propose, if possible, to ke our business reach a notch higher ring the present year, both in point popularity and sales. . * OUR SPECIAL va, and Mocha Coffee i blend has reached the top notch of juiaruy.

The seat sale was opened last Thurs' day at the stor.e of S. C. Hodges, ir . Greenwood, and was most gratifying Ever since then the people have beer making reservations?in fact, thos< who contemplate going should writ< for tickets at once. The schedule ol , trains is so arranged that Abbevillt ' folk can run down to each performance during the two days and returr early the next morning, going dowr . again for the next. Single admission tickets are sold foi seventy five cents while season tickets are only two dollars. THE MUSIC. The Festival will consist oi Abt's "Summer," Braga's "Angel's " "serenade," Lohr's "Swing Song," Veasie's "Spring Invitation," by the chorus club. Gaul's "Holy City," b> * chorus and Oratorio clubs, assisted 1 solists. "Persian Garden" and groups ^ of solos by the artists. * Greenwood congratulates herseli a that she has secured such artists as Genevive Clark Wilson, Harriet e Frahm, H. Augustine Smith, and Gus* taf Holmquist. These Chicago artists * are well known to the musical world 1 MR. SMITH. ^ Mr. H. Augustine Smith needs nc introduction to the people of this section. He possesses a su^^b voice 2 of wonderul brilliancy and power and J great range. Those who heard his : recital last year will not soon forget 1 his lyric voice, because the program was one that none but an artist could ' successfully give. 5 The power of interpretation is Mr. Smith's greatest gift as a singer. This ) is no disparagement of his voice, a r melow, vibrant tenor, free from throatiness and untrammeled by "method." But better than his organ is his ? musiial appreciation and insight into 1 the composer's thought; his serious' ness of purpose, which makes him ; conscientious in every line of his : work; his intensity of utterance, which ' masters his audiences and holds them ' to the song of the moment, be it the "Messiah," the "Redemption," "Hia: watha's Wedding Feast," or the simple ' Scotch songs or oprea excerpts which : illumine his recital programmes. } MR. HOLMQUIST. 1 Mr. GustafrHolmquist has^won the 1 admiration of his listeners everywhere. His wonderful range, togeth1 or with flexibility and a thorough L understanding of his work accounts 5 for the success that invariably attends r Mr. Holmquist's efforts. This rich and powerful yoice receives recog1 nition from any audience; but there is a charm of manner to the artist V * . ?'?; ; which adds neatly to the singmg.;J|^HM| Last year at Sioux Falls, Iowa, MaN|g^9H Festival this comment was made orafl|fl| ' only can be used in expresing oaf en'Jjfl^Bj joyment of Mr. Holmquist's work/j^^M| The most intense feeling was hown-tM^^H J in his rendition of "It is Enough-" ^ ... > Hr '- v-' k? v.

Mr. Aiken said today that he was greatly interested jn the bills to be reported shortly by the committee on buildings and grounds, inasmuch as he is trying to secure $100,000 for the ' - 'J purpose of erecting a new poatoffice ' -:>P building at Anderson, and an amount sufficient to build a postoffice and court house at Greenwood, the latter , probably being about $60,000 or $75, U00. He is also looking with interest to the report soon to be made ob his bills to purchase the old star fort battle grouud at Ninety Six, and the erection of a monument to Col.
