News and Courier. Major Hemphill does
not do things like other people. He has
an individuality. Nowhere does it show J
up more plainly than when the Mayor (
goes speech making. He seemed to have
a double purpose in view, to entertain and
at the same time to instruct. In his speech _
were woven in little bits of unwritten his- g
tory, expressions of great men on the sob- j"
iect in hand, facts gathered from his wide v;
knowledge of men aud affairs as they t
touch on the war of 01 to 65, all blended (i
in his inimitable style into a most pleas- t
ing as well as instructive talk that has
been- made on the subject in many days, t
Abbeville extended an invitation to the t
veterans to meet here again next year but .
they declined and accepted an invitation
from Belton and will meet there next
year. Mr. J. W. Guiton of Anderson was
elected President for the ensuing year.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
looked closely after the veterans while
they were here and showed them every
courtesy and attention. On Thursday ii
after the meeting The Daughters enter- c
tained the veterans at luncheon at Rosen- t
bergs Hall. t

.A Weleome Relief.
Aftera long siege of musical and farce (
comedies, melodramas and roblem plays, t
the theatre-going public seems to invite a
return of the never dying Shakesperean j
drama in a more welcome manner than has ?
been demonstrated for many years. For t
the first time in more then a decade, Paris <.
has arranged for a seiies of Shakesperean f
performances that will extend through the ;
entire theatrical season. Viena, the home j
of the classic drama, has announced a
number of very elaborate productions of (
Shakesperean plays. New York will see
two of its favorite modern actresses,
Maude Adams and .Blanche Bates, in magnificent
productions - of Twelfth Night,
while Julia Marlowe with E. H. Sothern
will present a repertoire of Shakesper?an
plays for the next three years.
The trend of the public taste for the
lighter and more frivolous form of amusement
for the past few years, has reduced
the ranks of legitimate stars to almost a
minimum. And with the exception of Julia
Marlowe, May Stewart, who will appear
at Opera House Friday night, October 8th,
in an elaborate production of Komeo and
Juliet, is the only woman who has met
with sufficient success to warrant her in
confining her efforts exclusively to Shakespeare.

COMMENT ON THE VERDICT.

lecision.
s to the verdict of "not guilty" in the
nura case there is a great variety of
lion expressed bv Columbia people of
uling and intelligence, and judging
n the comments of prominent men passthrough
here, this variety appears to
rail practically all over the State. Some
disposed to condemn the jurymen,
le others defend them. Some contend
nuin wasK-learly convicted", while others
the jury has some basis for its verhe
jury stood 11 to 1 for acquittal from
beginning, but they were not "hung"

in would indicate. A member of the

all were ready with a conclusion but

Musical and Festival Week. ]
>! Charleston is making great preparations
. for the entertainment of hundreds of
11 visitors from all parts of South Carolina c
1 during: the week beginning- October 25. "
The special feature of the week will be
a series of five musical concerts, features
of which promise to surpass anything of
the sort ever attempted in the South. The P
I Russian Symphony Orchestra, an organization
of fifty high class musicians, conducted
by Modest Altschuler, has been
! engaged and the services of soloists of
i ability and special fitness for the musical
numbers to be given have been contracted
for. p
The Russian Symphony Orchestra has 2
never before visited the South but during ^
ithe last two years its fame has been
, spreading throughout the East and West. d
Its journey across the continent last
Spring to the Pacific Coast was marked
by a choms of enthusiastic praise, and
critics in New York, Boston, Pittsburg, P
Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angles, San Fran- tl
cisco and dozens of other cities have pro- e
claimed its excellence. ci
A chorus of one hundred male voices D
and one of one hundred and fifty female ?
voices have been organized and the im- f*
mense auditorium of the new Charleston
Mnsfinm is bpini* snppin.llv nn fnr 0
th?> occasion. A fund of six thousand
dollars has been promised by leading J
business men of the city to assist in de- A
fraying the expenses of this great festival.
Numerous other amusement features
are to be provided. .King Street is to be
made the most brilliantly illuminated
thoroughfare in the South. The score of
torpedo boats and submarines of the
Atlantic Torpedo Boat Flotilla will be
returning to their home station at the "V
Navy Yard here and it is. hoped to have
other naval attractions.
Charleston is never more attractive than -A
at this season of the year and the business
and professional men of the city are united
in the determination to make the preset o
undertaking a splendid success, one which
will bo thoroughly enjoyed by the hokt
of visitors whom they hope to have the -.1
pleasure of entertaining.

AT THE SET OF THE SUN.
At the?et of the sun,
When our life work is done,
?ith all its tangled web,
When the clouds drift low,
And the streams run slow,
.nd life is at its ebb;
As we neai the goal
When the golden bowl
half be broken at its fount;
With what sweetest though
Shall the hour be fraught,
Phat precious most shall we count?
Not the flame of the sword,
Nor the werlth w6 have stored
n perishable things of the earthNot
the way we have trod
With the intellect broad,
'ho that were of precious worth;
Nor the gain we achieved,
Thru the hearts we have,grived,
.nd left unhelped by the way;
Nor the laurel of fame,
When for worldly acclaim .
^re toiled in the heat, and the frry.
Ab, no, 'tis not these
That will give our hearts ease
Phen life sinks low in the west;
But the passing sweet thhusrh
Of the good we have wrought,
'he saddened lives we have blest,
And the love we have won,
And the love beckoning on,
'rom his island far and dim;
Love out of the light,
Shinning into the night,
'he night which leadeth to Him.
"Salomy Jane."

Messrs. A. G. Delamater and William
[orris will prssent that famous Western
Dmance of the days of early California
baracter and incident, "Salomy Jane" at
.bbeville soon. Now in its third year,
tiis extraordinary play has been everywhere
classed as the positive triumph of
s class, which includes the consensus of
pinion which it was accorded during the
otable run of one solid year at the Liberty
'heatre, New York. "Salomy Jane" is the
laster effort in the brilliant career of Mr.
'aul Armstrong, whose splendidly contracted
dramatizatiou of Bret Harte's
oetic, as well as pictorial story of early
lalifornia days has taken the exalted posi[on
of being the most human and conincing
play founded on scenes and inoients
of the West of the past or present,
teyond basing this play from Bret Harle's
cenee and characters of "Salomy Janes
liss", he has also interwoven other famous
Western romances, making it a happy
lend of all of his widely read and lasting
ooks that still command the attention of
he literary public of the world. The
cenic production and general equipment
or this season's tour is massive and stun
ndous, while the cast, the best it has yet

AS TO METHUSELAH'S AGE.
Critic Cuts His 969 Aears Down to
78 3-4,
"Mathuselah loses his famous record for
is 969 reputed years are whittled down to
3 3-4." Thus says the Jewish World'in
discussion of Jewish characteristics.
There has always existed a certain
mount of doubt even among believers in
:e literal truth of the Bible concerning
le great age to which the Jewish patrirchs
are recorded as having lived. Some
f the theories evolved to reduce the Bibliil
records of this kind to something near
ie alloted span of man are dealt with in
le article.
It is surmised, the Jewish World says,
latin the earliest times the month,the
ariod of a moon cycle, was called a year,
hus Adam's 930 years of life, calculating
year at,29 1-2 days, the length of a lunar
lonth, works out to 75 1-4 years. After
le month year there came a five month
ear, the limit of five being derived from
le fingers on one hand, it being rememjred
that primitive people always used
le fingers for counting purposes. Then
ime tneitwelve month year.
Excuse for this rearrangement is found
the Psalmist's limit of life of three score
id ten vears. and it is maintained that
stween the times of Noah andj David no
ich extraordinary change could have tak1
place as to reduce the life of man by
even-twelfths. On the five month year
isis, Abraham's 175 years work out at
and Isaac's 180 at 74.
Perhaps, too, there intervened a six
onth year, discovered by Jacob while
atching Laban's flocks. Thus Jacob's
7 years work out at about 73.
The twelve month year began with the
gyptians, who saw that a complete perd
was made up of the two"years," in one
which the days were longer than the
ghts and In the other the nights longer
ian the days.
The Christian and Jewish years, conudes
the Jewish World, will not forever
? separated, "f - r" it says, "in due course ,
osh Hashona will fall at Christmas time
id the catch up then Christian year. :
lis, however, will not happen for 30,000
>ars, and no doubt that is the reason <
hy nobody worries about it." j

hf Something over a year, ago a statement
a was published in The Enquirer, to the efed
feet that miscreants, to our inform ante
unkonwn, had robbed the corner stone of
ds King's Mountain Monument by blowing it
5ir out with dynamite. No especial effort was
made to investigate the story at the time;
ir. but it now develops that while the dynamise
ting was really attempted, the- corner v
on stone records were not disturbed. 'The
jg information comes from Col. A. Coward,
who was at the grounds last Friday look- '?
ck ing after various arrangements for the
C., coming-dedication. Col. Cowai^Lsaid that
while there is evidence of an attempt on
la_ the corner stone, the miscreants in their ,
p. evident ignorance, selected the wrong
corner?the northwest corner Instead of
the northeast corner. They made a hole
under the stone and exploded a dynamite
cartridge. The stone was pretty badly ;
lX> displaced;, but not entirely removed.
P" There is absolutely nothing of money
1 n value in the -aornor stone, and if the thieves
st- had been successful they would have gotten
nothing. The attempt, however, was one
