Given by Mr. Maxim In the College Audl- torium .Friday Kevenlng. One of the most interestinf; recitals of the session was given at the col lege last Friday evening by Mr. Maxim. Below is given the programme: Variations Celebrcs, J$ Flat Major, Op. H:.’. Xo. :i. -------- - Schubert Sonata, F Minor. Op. 57 - - - Beethoven. Allegro assni. Andante con moto. Allefrro hia non troppo. Presto. Sea Pieces, Op. 55 - - - - - Mac Dowell. To the Sea, I> Flat Major. Starlight, K Major. A. 1). Iti-O, G Major. Song, 1) Major. In Mid Ocean. B Flat Minor. Hark! Hark! The Lark, B Flat Major - - - - Schubert-Liszt. Waldesrauchen. 1).Flat Major - - - Liszt. Introductory Remarks by Mrs. George Pratt Maxim. Three styles of music were given. The Sonata representing the theme development; the Sea Pieces, mood pictures, and the Impromptu and Hark ! Hark ! The Lark, programme music. The introductory remarks by Mrs. Maxim made the selections all the more interesting. The Sonata seem ed to be the one most generally en joyed. In the Sea Pieces, a series of compositions full of odd modulations and suggestive rather of the ocean’s terrors than of dancing rivulels, Mr. Maxim did credit to himsilf. His rendering of Hark ! Hark! The Lark was very artistic. The audience was entirely interest ed and absorbed throughout his playing. He has been steadily im proving since we first heard him play. In breadth and firmness of tone he has gained greatly and b'ds fair to be- comingoneof America’s best pianists Mr. Maxim has fine musical percep tion and discriminates well as to phrasing, and a true and sympathet ic interpretation of the compositions he is rendering. He has also plenty of technic, and therefore does not feel hampered by the fear of not being Jable to execute difficult pas sages. As to sentiment, he is tender, warm and expressive with ability to make splendid climaxes. Next Friday evening Miss Mary E Williams, \be popular teacher of voice at the college, will give the seventh faculty recital. The musi cal public of Gaflney is cordially in vited to attend.

Mr. Stacy was a member of one of the oldest and most highly respected families in the county, was (iO years old, was a consistent member of the Baptist Church, whs a gallant Con federate soldier of the 18lh S.

His remains were buried yesterday at the Petty graveyard by the side of his wife, who died a few years ago. Serviofs were conducted by Rev. A. C. Cree. The Alliance Warehouse. The Alliance warehouse, which cost the farmers of Cherokee county sev eral thousand dollars ten or twelve years ago, and which soon passed from their hands for much less than it cost them, and which has paid the purchasers well, comes under the ban of the law that requires all houses moved from the railroad lots. Mr W. Sam Lipscomb has bought it, and we learn will move it to some of his property in the city. Increaxc of Capital Stock.
