All preparations for the Musical Festival are going on with accelerated energy and speed as the time for this great event approaches. In the life of every community there appears a time when in the very air the approach of prosperity and of new development may be felt both by the residents and by casual visitors. It is the unanimous and firm conviction of every dweller in the City by the Sea that this time is now at hand. It seems that the hopes so dearly cherished and so earnestly pursued by hard and indefatigable'la bor are about to be realized in glad fruition. This sentiment has been reflected in the zeal and vigor that is being put into the Festival celebra tion. Charleston feels that she is invit ing the whole State of South Caro lina, of which she is the ocean gate way. to join her at this <ritical turn ing point in 'her career and rejoice with her at the golden future that is so clearly seen stretching ahead. The musical features of the Festi val are such that were the cost of the tickets relied upon to defray the ex penses. it would not be possible to place the price of tickets for each performanee at less than $5.00. But it has been the desire of this Festival Association to give to the visifors who may come don an en tertainment of the highest possible grade at a cost that is absolutely nominal, and so a pri-ee has been fixed for the concerts that is practically the same as free admission, the price of the tickets merely sufficing to con fine the audience to those who will be able to appreciate the magnificent performances.

Talking iood Coffee Doesn't Make Coffee Good, Does It? If it did, all Coffee would be the best. No, it takes more than talk.
