The | company is composed of the following noted artists: Herr Karl Grienauer, 'cello | virtuoso; Herr Anton Schott, tenor, and Theodore Saul, piano soloist and accompanist. We are offering this high grade entertainment at a very low price. Seats doubtless will be in great demand, so see Mr. M. W. Brabham at once and get a reserved seat. To convince yourself of the worth of the entertainment read the following criticisms: It was reserved for Herr Anton Schott to bring down the house with his masterly rendition of Walthier's "Preislied" from "Die Meistereinger." The great Wagnerian tenor was in his best voice, and his performance would have won the prize in any of those celebrated song contests. His rendition of the "Spring , Song," from "Die Walkuere," was equally fine.?New York World. Mr. Grienauer, from the day he gradu| ated at the "Vienna Conservatory of , Music," has had a splendid career. He > has been solo 'cellist at the Court Opera, in Turin, at "La Scala," in Milan, and at 1 the Concerthaus, in Berlin; three of the . most difficult houses in the world in which to play. There is no instrument : as sympathetic and human as is the ? violoncello, and in a master's hand, such . as Mr. Grienauer's. It leaves nothing to . be desired. There is a certain broadi ness and richness about the 'cello tone which is found in that of no other instru; ment.?Charleston News and Courier.

W. D. ROWELL, * Auditor Bamberg County. 1 Bamberg, S. C., December 18th, 1905. \ ASCORING FOR ENGLAND Her Power on the Decline, Claims Japanese Count. "PATBIOTISM SEEMS TO BE WANING" i Field Marshal Yamagata*s Former Private Secretary Regards Recent Anglo-Japanese Treaty as Evidence of English Decadence?"Americmnisatlon of the British" He Believes nnn?Mni and Ponlblr FataL "The Anglo-Japanese alliance is a mark of England's decadence. The suggestion that Japanese troops might be required for the defense of the English Indian frontier is a suggestion that could only come from a nation which knows that its period of decline has begun." This startling sentence is taken from an article that has caused a profound Sensation in England, says a London dispatch to the New York Ajnerican and Journal. It is written not, as might be suspected, by an irreconcilable foe of England, but by a pronounced friend of Great Britain, a Japanese, Count K. Hirosawa. He was educated in England, took his law degree at Cambridge with distinction and loves England as his second home. Count Hirosawa is a samurai His father was minister of the interior, and he was the private secretary of Field Marshal Yamagata, prime minister and great general. His views are those of a close observer, and for once the westerner is allowed to get a peep at what really is going on in the back of a Japanese head, and they have made the Englishmen sit up and think over the conditions of his country as no article appearing in a London publication for years has done. ?T nn.+4/va >? thA AAnnf ?? ?K x uvuvC) saiu uic LLTLuii aiiu an air sence of eleven years, "a distinct and lamentable deterioration in the character, habits and action of the English people. In the first place, there is a failure to appreciate the situation, thedangerous situation. Other countries are not blind, and Japan is certainly alive to the changes for the worse in the administration and character of the English. "I notice a distinct decay in religion. Religion and patriotism seem to be on the wane in England. I do not speak of music hall patriotism, but of self surrender, such as we know it in Japan and as the Germans know it 1 think that this new worship of mate- ' rial things is partly due to American influence on English character. You have become more excitable and materialistic, and the intermarriage between many of your peers and the daughters of rich Americans has helped to dethrone the old English spirit of . simple faith in noble ideals. "The Americanization of the English is dangerous and may be fatal. Americans may try all sorts of experiments without harm. Ther$ is plenty of room to expand. You in England have no room to expand, and the conditions do not exist here which would enable you to try experiments of a socialistic and visionary description. "I cannot speak much about the navy, but 1 gather that there are survivals from early days which will impede its powers on the day of action. But on the army I can speak plainly.. Your Boer war and the failure to or ganize an efficient military force adequate to your needs have made a painful impression in Japan. "In your parliament there are far too many men with axes to grind who are bent on personal advantage. I allude to neither party in* particular, but generally there is an indifference to the country which saddens me. What will be the result in ten, twenty or twenty-five years I do not know. It depends on Germany. The kaiser is the only man in Europe who has appreciated the real danger to the nations of the west of the Japanese renaissance. "It is quite possible that in ten years' time Japan will bt in a position to* build a Chinese fleet, and that by the time the anniversary of Waterloo has arrived we may be on the road to construct 100 battleships for ourselves and China. Ton are ceasing to be a maritime people, and as England Is forsaking her maritime habits Germany is ' Increasing and straining every nerve to build up oversea trade and a strong navy. Tour public school spirit and university spirit Is very good, but the time has gone by when wars can be won by pluck and spirit alone. Collision with a first class scientific power will probably be disastrous to. England, far more so than your newspapers and politicians believe." The count concludes by expressing the opinion that the complete revision ot the educational system and the adoption of universal military trainng, with the introduction of democratic methods into the system' of government, whereby efficiency should be the sole test of employment by the state, ? were the only means oy wmui &ugland could be saved from collapse.
