This is the reason that travelers, trainmen, street car men, teamsters and all who drive very much suffer from kidney disease in some form.

WORK OF THE ARTISTS. It Wuk Without Doubt tb« Oroutost Muhk- FfHtivitl of the Year In the South AtlaotU- SlateK —A Few Words Concerning Director Ueo. Frutt Maxim. We feel that we would be recreat to duty should we fail to say a fioai word iu behalf of the receut May music festival which delighted so many people. The opening number on the first program, Sonata in C minor (Men delssohn) was played by Mr. Harlow V. Kingbb iu good tempo.clearly in fine style and with very attractive regis tration—decidedly original, in fact. Mr Knight’s performance of this number and in fact of ail of his solo □ umbers was thoroughly musically. The Fugue (Bach, in A minor) was well played, but the interpretation was somewhat too conservative for our taste, that is, too slow in tempo and without sufficient variety in registration. On the other hand the festival offertoure (Wely) was given a markedly modern interpretation with splended tempo and varied regis tration. In bis solo work with only an occasional slip Mr. Knight re tained absolute command of the instrument and displayed a refined, artistic style, rare intelligence and adequate dexterity, both mental and digital. Mr. Edwin Charles Row don has an easy,buoyant manner,and an engaging smile. His singing of Gipsy John (Clay) was splendid. His voice was Under perfect control and his inter pretation was exceedingly effective. In the other selections he was less pleasing We frankly like Mr. Row- don personally and believe that be has an immence voice of unusual sweet ness, but if he had devoted more at tention to tone production and less to smiles our enjoyment of his work would have been much greater. The reading by Mrs. Geo. Pratt Maxim of The Battle of the Strong was one of the most attractive fea tures of the evening. We have but words of praise for Her work Her voice, clear, sweet, bell-like carried to every part of the room. Her de lineations of character were strongly marked and forceful, and her manner was the embodiment of ease and grace. In all she is a charming woman and our ouly wish was for a reappearance. The Philharmonic String Quartet is a fine organization. excelling espe cially iu music that is sweet and low, rarely rising to impassioned utter ance. The quartet gave us reveries and dreams in several languages, all rendered in refined style, perfectly, in fact, but we would not always dream. Philharmonics, come and play fer us again, play dream pieces, reveries and so forth, hut give us some strong numbers for variety. Mrs. Geo. G. Byers, our local artistic representative on the program sang in her inimitable way, pleasing her many friends and admirers Mr. Ho mes Cowper then gave us three deligbtful|selectioos. Mr.Gowp r is a singer with temperament. He is a real man, a man of energy, of refine ment, with a pure, sweet tenor voice of great range and volume. His singing was a revelation of the beauti ful in music to every person present. What can we say about Electa Gif ford and not seem to overpraise her? We have heard Sembricb, Vardioa and all the rest, but Gifford o’er tops them ail. Huch dazzling virtuo sity, such delicate distinctness In rapid scales, such even trills and withal such broao musiciaoly inter pretations of the greatest soprano arias we shall never bear again until we bear Eieota Gifford. Miss Mary E. Williams sang the Flower Bong from “Faust” and the contralto part of “The Rose Maiden” with excellent effect. During Miss Williams’ stay at Limestone we have learned to ex pect nothing but artlet‘c perform- aocee of her. Her tinging at the festival exceeded all expectation. The contralto solo in “The Rose Malden” was delightful from every etandpolnt and to many persons was the mpst thoroughly artistic rendition of the entire festival. The Limestone College Choral So ciety ! Who dares to criticise the per formances of this most perfect orga nization? Who has enough knowl edge of choral singing to properly praise? Expressing the sentiment attributed to Mr. Rowdon, we will “simply leave” the “Soldier's Chorus,” “Hallelujah Chorus,” and the choruses in ‘The Rose Maiden” ‘Stabol Mater” “just where they are.” The artists of the festival were enthusiastic in praise of the choral members. We are confident that a more t-lficieot chorus does not do busine*s on the American continent. A word should bs said concerning the director of the festival, Mr. Geo. Fratt Maxim. Coming to Limestone College last September as director of music, Mr. Maxim has quietly but efficiently performed all of ths duties attendant upon the position and has won the confidence and esteem of all of our people. We bold Mr. Maxim In high esteem, not only as a man but as a musician of brilliant and en during qualities. As a pianist he is the beet in the South, as an orgsnlat he takes high rank among tbs most eminent. Ws regret that we have *» i not been given an opportunity to judge of hie ability as a composer As a choral and orchestral conductor he can hardly be surpassed. Festival features: Limestone Col lege Choral Society; K'ecta Gifford iu the “Mad Scene,” the ‘'Hell Song ’ and “With Verdure Clad”; Holmes Cowper iu “O.d English Songs. ‘Onaway, Awake Beloved” and “Heavenly Aid”; E. Chas. Rowdon in ‘Rolling in Foaming Billows” and ‘Gipsy John”; Miss Williams iu “Rose Maiden” and “Stabat Mater” ; Miss Steedly and String Quartet in the accompaniments, and Mr. Knight on the organ.

A large and enthusiastic congregation | attended both the morning and after noon services; and the abundance of good things in evidence during the in- termiision precludes any cry of “hard times” in the Grass Pond nighbor- hood. In the morning Rev. R J. Tate, the pastor, preached a s iriog termon. In the afternoon Rev. Arch C. Cree, of Gaffney, made a strong Foreign Mission address, and at the dose of his effort the church gave one of tie best mission collections it has ever gh - en.

He was surrounded by bis son, Dr. Goodman, and other relative* He was born Oct. 22, 1805 near Nashville, Tenn , within a few miles of Gen Andrew Jackson’s old home, no.v koown as ‘ The Hermitage.” When about 20 years of age he went to South Carolina, where he studied medicine and practiced his profession in Union District. S C., thirty-five years, owning at the same time a farming interest In 1857 he retired from the prac tice of medicine and moved to £ nitb County, Texas, where he devoteu his entire time to farming and in which be made a success. He was system atic io everything be undertook. He was a strong advocate of the Southern Confederacy and while then advanced in year*, and not in field service himself, he made a faithful home soldier iu helping provide for those io the front and the loved ones they left at home. Both bis sons were in the Confederate army. He remained on his farm until 1874 when he sold his entire farm interest, and moved to Tyler, invest ing his means in property here, where he resided until bis death. He had a clear and systematic mind and was very fond of reading and had at unusual memory. It was remark able how he recollected the dates and inventors of the many different in- eutions and discoveries that have been made during the period of his life, and which period covers more in ventions and improvement* than any one thousand years of tbe world’s bDtory before. ie was always kind and thought ful of those iu bis service; and when his slaves were freed, although he had quite a large number of them, they all except two, remained with him as long as he remained on his farm, coveiing a period of nine years after they were liberated. Among those surrounding his opt-n grave was the faithful old colored woman Celia Lipscomb, who has been in his ser vice and employ, as house girl and their cook, about 73 years. His first vote was cast for Andrew Jackson for Prudent of the United Statrs, who was his father’s (Ciai- bouroe Goodman; neighbor and per sonal friend.

His wife died Sept. 21, 1878; Samuel A , Jr., died Aug. 18, 1890 Oje son, Dr. William J. Goodman, survives him. He is a well-kaown and prominent citizen of Tyler. He lived a consistent Christian life and bad been a member of the Bap tist church since 1849. Dr. Goodman was esteemed by all of our citizens. Hi* habits and con duct were such as met the approval and commendation of all good people, and in bis death our county and our peopie have lost a worthy and a con stant friend.
