Th« Ablfiit Musical Talent In the Country H-** Been Hugagt-d for the Great Festival At Limestone College Next May—World Kenotvued Singers Will he Present. In the minds of those who have heard the chorus sing within the last three weeks there will be 112 artists engaged in festival work at Limestone College May 14, 15 16, 100 of whom are members of the choral society. The Limestone College Choral So ciety is unquestionably tbe ablest choral organization in tbe South At lantic Staee. Among tbe remaining stars Etecia Gifford shines with in creasing splenatr. rich, even quality throughout, sup plied the requirements with euee and finish, fin« tone coloring stupendous and masterly effects.” “His voice is delightfully melodious 'u I and deep. He sang his words with per fect clearness.” Mr. Rowdor. the bass, has a manly voice of great range and beauty.” He has a pow erful, clear voice which completely filled the auditorium.” “Mr. Row- don has a true musical spirit, and this disposition is plainly apparent in his singing which fairly bubbles with expression.” In selection of artists and arrange ment of programs for Limestone’s May Music Festival, the manage ment believes that it has secured a more brilliant array of artists and more attractive programs than have ever been presented to tbe feaoivai patrons of this section of our country. The artists, without exception, are of marked ability, having acquired dis tinction not only in America but in Europe as well. The programs are not too serious for the enjoyment of the least musical person who may attend, nor will the musician be an noyed with trivial selections; but each program will draw tbe enthusi astic appause of musician, musical amateur and non-musician. SHORT LOCAL TEMS. The plowman has had a good open ing this week, and right well has be used it. The board of county commissionffs met Tuesday and transacted a good deal of routine business. There will be preaching at tbe Union cbnrcb next Sunday at 3 o’clock p. m. Tbe services will be conducted by Rev. W. R. Potter. Tbe dense crowds of sable citizens, who have been blocking our streets for some time, are not so much in evidence tbe last few days. The meeting at tbe Limestore street Methodist Episcopal church, which was announced to begin on the 81-t inst., has been postponed till the 7th of April. Electa Gifford, soprano, is of Amer ican parentage. At an early age she was sent to Chicago to enter upon a musical career. Her debut as a con cert singer was made with the Chi cago Orcnestra Theodore Thomas, conductor. Shor ly after she left for Europe to continue her studies In Paris Mies Gifford received instruc tion from the best masters aud fre quently appeared as soloist iu high class concerts She applied herself so well with her studies that very soon she bad acquried the high so prano role in twet ty operas. Then a new and agreeable incident happened. She received au offer from the Rival Opera at Am-terdam. and there stie sang (or an ciiMre season. She also sang in other Holland cities and a ii»- tie in Belgium. Thee an off< r wes received for French opera in New Oi lcans, where her success was also ot a distinguished character. This year she has devoted ner time to co~c r work aud has been the soloist with rhe Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Paur Symphony Orchestra and the Chicago Orchestra, besides singing wirh many of the large oratorio socie ties. musical clubs and festival organ izations. Eiecta Gifford is without, doubt .he greatest soprano singer who has ever been engaged for a music festival in the South Atlantic States. Mr. Holmes Cowper, tenor, is one of the best and most favorably Known singers of his parr in the We^. His early training he secured in Canada, going to England for artistic finish ing. Five years since, he tot k up his res-idence in Chicago after gaining a reputation in Europe as an un usually talented singer with a true aud Sr.-eet tenor voice of fine and even qua ry up to B, and an un- misiak ;ble musical temperament. Besides his many concert and recital engagements lie has appeared with tbe most important oratorio socie ties and Festival organizations in tne following States: Minnesota. Illi nois, Nebra;-kt, Michigan. Iowa. Ohio, Missouri, and also in Canada and New Mexico. In some places ne has been engaged four times. Sag inaw, Mich., (or instance. He be comes imuo-usely popular with an audience. Tbe Musical Courier says : ‘Mr. Cowper has many times proved his right to he classed among the finest tenors; after ‘ Cujus Animam” he received a positive ovation.” Harlow Vi .cent Knight, organist, is one of the rising young American musicians who does not connider it necessary to go outside of his native country in order to secure an all round mnsi'-al education. He studied in New Y -ik with Eugene Thoy> r and later 10 Boston with George E. W’hiting Incidentally he grailuated from the New England Conservatory of Music.

The musical enterra icntit give by the Forest City Knights of Pythias Band was of a high cia^s order and refiects credit on Mr. fi. J. Barnett, manager, and bisable assistants. Messrs. .Vade Tillotsui., A. B Bran non. G. W. Cotton and Wrn. Robin son of this city attended it. and are lavish in their praises of the enter tainment 'ynd the royal good time they had. The Forest City Times says the young men enjoyed the ‘ pleasant ^ graces of the F ire.st City Girls ” and ! further says “come again boys, Gaff ney is not in it when it com-s to pretty girls.” We have no doitt hut the visit of the boys was mad- more pleasant bv the presence of t e fair ones of the Forest City, for they are appreciative boys gallant young fellows, who admire the fair sex gen erally. but who cling with the ten acity of true knights to tbe fairest of the fair—“the loved ones at home.’* We trust our old friend and neigh bor. Mr. E. J Barnett, will irdu t bis band to g*ve an entertainment in Gaffney. It will serve ns a double purpose—give us a good entenain- ment and his old friends in Gaffney the opportunity to sb«ke his hand again. A Sad Accident. A serious accident befell Mr. Claud Thomason, of this city. Tuesday as he w»s returning to the Gaffney cotton mill, where he worked, from his boarding bouse, where he had been for dinner When he got. to the rail road crossing just north of the South ern depot a train was standing across his way of going to the mill. He waited some time for the train to move on. hut as the time for the mill to start was about to arrive, he had to go on and attempted to pass be tween two cars of the train.placing his foot on the coupling Just then the train stared and crushed bis foot so badly that it had to be amputated just above the ankle. The operation waa performed by Dro. Griffirh, Jeff eries and Nesbitt and we iearu tbat Mr. Thomason ia doing very well. We hope for nis speedy recovery. Mr. Thomson is from Sparauburg county and has been in Gaffney only a short time and has be-o married only about a month. His devoted }OJ n g wife is witn bun. which assures him of the best attention.

Miss Steedly. as tho-e who have heard her can testify, is a oianint ‘ f remarkable finger dexterity and sound muyicianly attainments in the inter pretation of musical masterpieces. She in a progressive pianist, and abreast with the times. Although she plays Bach aud the early classic ist with due thoughtfulness and re gard for tradition, it is in her playing, of the compositions of Chopin and other composers of the Romantic period that the transcendent qualities of her style are most in evidence. Miss Sceedly uses excellent judgment in i he selection of compositions for her programs. The program of yes- t-r lay was a model one. The works were all of tbe highest musical worth and their arrangement was perfect. The opening number was Mozart’s cheerful A major (6 8) Sonata. Tne second number was Liszt s tiaoscrip- tion of Bach’s great Prelude and Fugue in A minor for organ. It is interesting to note in passing that Mr Harlow Vincent Knight will play this splendid, musically historic work in it® original form in tbe coming May Music Festival. After the Bach came a group of pieces by Chopin, including tbe BailudH.Op 47 and two Etudes. This is the Baiiade of which Kleczynski says: ‘Its simplicity and unity of thought which pervade it are cerrain'y tbe cause of its great popularity snd the particular appro bation which it has obtained amongst musicians in general * * * The whole Ballade is very poetical From ten der it become? passionate and power ful, and receives, especially in the middle pari, an entirety dramatic development.

The Staccato-Etude, R tbenstein, br.uight the recital to a melodious and brilliant close. Tbe melody in F by Rubins'ein was on the program, but wa® not played, mu ’h to our r • gret. It is to he regretted that the at tendance from Gaff.iey wa® not larger. However, each person present was deeply appreciative, and, no doubt echoed the sentiment expres®ed by chevalier Ferrats, when he said that Mies Steedly possess'-d a rare intel ligence and an artistic nature.
