We take great pleasure in extend ing congratulations to the Camdon Concert Band on the wonderful achievements made since its organi zation a few months ago. A large crowd greeted- the hand on the school grounds last Sunday and wo heard nothing but favorable comments on the choice program presented and we trust that the people showed their appreciation in a material way, for no one can deny that -music is an asset to a community.' Where there's music there is harmony, and harmony contributes largely towards making the world beautiful and a better place to dwell in.*; Music has ever filled an exalted place in the universe, ?tooth in sacred arid profane history. Pollok says, "He touched his harp and nations hoard entranced." "And we are told that the Israelites of old hung their harps upon the wil lows, when, they were strangers in a strange land. And David the sweet singer of Israel shall live forever in song and story. The world would in deed be1 a dreary place without music, for it is needed on all occasions. It enhances our joy and mirth; it alle viates our sorrow. Pope says: "Some to church repair, not for the doctrine, but the music there." The band, then, should receive every encouragement from our peo ple. A handsome Concrete stand in historic Hampton park we feel sure would be acceptable and this we un derstand the John I). Kennedy chap ter is going to build for the conven ience of the present and the glory of the past. Again let u& congratulate the band on its wonderful success and wish for it continued progress.

THE Great War President often called upon Con gressman Byrnes, who was then serving on a sub committee of five having charge of most of the appropriations for carrying on the war, for advice ?nd assistance, as will be seen by the following letter: THE WHITE HOUSE , August 22, 1918. My Dear Mr. Byrnes: I would be very much obliged to you if you could, at some early time, drop in to see me at the VVhite House, in order that I may discuss with vou some phases of the new appropriation bills. ' You have always rendered such generous service to the administration and to the govern ment, as a member of the committee on appro priations, that I am anxious to seek your advice.
