Miss Dew'e Recital.
On last Thursday evening, one of
the mot interetlng recitals of the
season was given In the college audi
torium, by the students of Miss Mary
Alice Dew, who has been a teacher
at Limestone for several years. Her
pupils showed that they had receiv
ed a thorough training, and Miss
Dew is to be congratulated on the
results she has attained. One of
the most interesting numbers was
the first piece on the program, which
was played by Miss Mary Lodge, the
nine-year-old daughter of the presi
dent of the college. This number
was played with an Interpretation
that would have been a credit to
students much older, and It received
a hearty encore.

Mr. Loring’ 0 Recital.
On Friday night there was a fair
sized audience present at the college
to listen to the playing of the piano
students who have studied under
the director of music. Mr. Ixrrlng.
The programme opened with a
piece for two pianos, played by Miss
Marion Cole and Miss Bessie Kibler.
This was followed by a splendid
rendition of “Twilight” by Bentley,
and a selection from the first Peer
Gynt suite by Grieg, played by Miss
Lucile Parks. Miss Parks comes
from Greenwood, and is a pupil who
possesses real talent. She has been
a hard and faithful worker at music,
and Is able to show satisfactory re-
I suits.
Mls s Bessie Kibler then played a
Chopin nocturne in a highly accept
able manner. Miss Kibler has recent
ly written a song to the words of
Tennyson's “Crossing the Bar” and
this song will be sung at the com
mencement exercises on Wednes
day night.
Miss Bessie All played two of the
sketches from MacDowell’s famous
"Woodland Sketches.” These were
much enjoyed by all.
Miss Potter who is a clever pianist,
played two pieces that demanded a
great technic and brilliant execution,
and these requirements were well
met with. She responded to an en
core, playing the second movement
from a Mozart concerto, with Miss
Churchill at the second piano. These
numbers were followed by a valse
played by Miss Jenkins, and the last
number was a quartette for two
pianos, played by Misses Jenkins,
Patter, Crawley and All.
Cooper Societj Meets.
The annual public meeting of the
Cooper Literary Society of Lime-
stome College, was held Saturday
evening, the 25th, In the auditorium,
of the college.
The audience was very inerested
and appreciative. The program
op°ned with a violin solo by Miss
Edna van Vliet Hlgley, and the ac
companiment was played by Mary
Lodge, the nine-year-old daughter
of the president of the col
lege. Little Miss Lodge has
a brilliant musical future before her,
and is sure to be heard from In the
musical world. She possesses unu
sual talent and a remarkably music
al ear. This first number on the
program wa s much enjoyed.
Miss Hlgley’s solo was followed hy
a recitation by Miss Harriet Moseley.
Miss Moseley’s delivery showed that
deep study and much time and
thought had been spent In preparing
her recitation, which was well re
ceived.
Miss Nan Wllburne, a senior, was
next heard In two delightful songs.
The first was a song called “Now
sleeps the rose,” a short composition
written In an unusual rhythm, part
of it being in the se’dom used five-
four time. MIsf Wllburne has a
soprano voice of great range and
sympathetic quality. Her high tones
are especially clear, and In this par
ticular song she was much enjoyed.
Her second selection was a favorite
number, called "Absent.” This was
sung with feeling and a smooth and
dignified Interpretation. Miss Wll
burne Is to be congratulated on the
results of her vocal studies.
After these songs Miss Inez Wll
burne played a piano solo which was
received with much Interest by the
audience.
Miss Aurelia Lodge, as president of
the Cooper Society, then made the
introductory speech, bringing before
the audience Prof. Gordon B. Mbore,
who made the address of the eve
ning which was published in yester
day’s Ledger.
At the close of the address Miss
Blanche Cole played a Moszkowskl
Dance In her usual likable and in
teresting manner.
This was followed by a duet by
Misses Bessie and Julia Kibler. Af
ter this duet Dr. Lodge presented a
medal to Miss Bessie Kibler for the
best story written during the college
year.
The program ended with a piano
solo played by Miss Lydia Jenkins,
who graduates this year from the
music department of Limestone Col
lege.
The entire program was of com
pelling Interest, and was heartily en
joyed by all present.
bers—Allah by Chadwick, The Asra
by Rubenstein, and Hark, Hark the
Lark by Schubert. These were well
sung, and It is to be regretted that
this Is Miss Huff’s last year at Lime
stone, for she is no small loss to the
music department.
The last number was Abt’s Ave
Maria, sung as a trio with Miss Hlg
ley as soprano soloist.
Every number on the program
showed a careful and systematic
preparation, and this recital was a
credit to both teachers and students.
Ensemble Concert,
On Monday afternoon there was
given an ensemble concert at the
college. There wer e but three numb
ers on the programme, two concertos
and a piece for two pianos, the
Liszt preludes. On account of Miss
Jenkins’ illness, the first concerto
was omitted, but the second one was
well inerpreted by Miss Loulle Pot
ter, with Miss Churchill at the sec *
ond piano. The Liszt preludes were
splendidly played by Miss Dew and
Miss Churchill, and deserved a larger
audience than attended.
Miss Hlgley’ s Recital.
The recitals given at Limestone
College lately have been of a high
standard, hut It is doubtful If any
recital has been more enjoyed than
wag that given by Miss HJgley’s
voice students last Saturday after
noon. The program opened with a
vocal duet by Misses Blanche and
Bessie All. *Both these young ladles
have sung Sq much in Gaffney during
the past season that little need be
said of their success. musically.
The duet was sung in their usual in
teresting manner.
Miss Isabelle Free, of Blackville,
next sang Dudley Buck’s famous
sacred song entitled, “Fear not ye,
O Israel.” This was one of the
strongest numbers on the program,
and was splendlly rendered. Miss
Free expects to return to Limestone
next year to make a specialty of
music, and If she does she will prob
ably graduate In voice next year.
Her voice Is of excellent quality, and
she possesses that great require
ment so necessary to a public singer,
a magnetic personality.
Miss Edna Davis was ill, and there
fore did not appear in the recital,
contrary to the announcement on
the program.
Misses Nan and Inez Wllburne were
then heard in one of Rubensteln’s
duets, which was excellently sung,
and well received.
This number was followed by Mes-
senet’s Elegie, sung by Miss Corne
lia Lavendar, of Gaffney. Miss La-
vendar’s singing was much enjoyed,
and she made an excellent selection
in choosing the song she did.
Miss Bessie All then sang the
famous “Florian’s Song” and was
compelled to sinf' it twice, so enthu
siastic was the audience. Miss All
is truly artistic in her singing.
Miss Blanche All was next heard
in an aria from Samson and Delilah.
This number was well sung and as
well enjoyed. Miss All possesses a
deen alto voice, with a wide range.
The next number was the event of
the concert, from a musically artistic
standpoint. This was the aria from
“Robert le Dlable” sung bv Miss
Nan Wllburne. of Union. Miss Wll
burne has a really beautiful voice,
and seems to enter Into the tme
meaning and spirit of the songs she
Interprets. Her range is wide, her
tones clear, and her interpretation
sympathetic. It is seldom that one
hears a better voice in a college of
music, and Miss Wllburne should
make every possible endeavor to be
come a professional singer.
Miss Erin Huff sang three num
Mathematics and Physical Sciences.
Miss Pearl Edna Thonssen, B. S.
M. A., is a graduate of the George
Washington University, and a train
ed specialist. She has presided
with marked ability and success for
five years over the school of mathe
matics and physical sciences, and
we present an abstract of the work
of her classes:
To he able to think; to think logic
ally, to reason, to be exact—this is
the aim, the object of "the exact
science.” Five of our students this
year have passed most creditably
the five years’ course given by the
college in this branch.
When coming from the seminary
department the student has a thorough
knowledge of algebra through simul
taneous quadratic equations and has
completed plane geometry. In her
freshman year she completes solid
geometry and college algebra. For
the first half of the year the sopho
more studies are plane and spherical
trigonometry—the latter part of the
year is devoted to plane analytic
geometry. The entire junior year is
given to the study of the calculus—
a comprehensive text book is used
and much time Is spent upon the
problems, and examples in both the
differential and integral calculus.
The privileges of a senior are many
—the senior in mathematics has an
additional one. She has now passed
from elementary mathematics. She
can now, to a certain extent, choose
her subject for herself—theory of
equations, differential equations or
any one from a number. Now, how
ever, she has learned to think, and
her choice must of necessity be a
wise one.
Each graduate must have com
pleted a course in physics or chemis
try or both. The first named science
includes the study of mechanics,
sound, heat, light, magnetism and
electricity; the second, a thorough
study of the elements and principal
Inorganic compounds, concluded with
a discussion of the composition and
structure of organic compounds, with
special stress laid upon some of the
more particular ones.
Note a From the Sophomore Class-
Miss Iris Griselle Rlgsbee, form
erly one of>i Limestone's most bril
liant and popular daughters, is visit
ing her sister, Miss Alma Rigsbee.
Miss Rlgsbee will attend the com
mencement exercises and then re
turn to her home In Durham, N. C.
One of our members, Miss Edith
Rice, was called to her home In
Barnwell yesterday. We are very
sorry that she will not be with us
during commencement.
The following sophomores acted
as ushers at the public meeting May
25th: Misseg Alma Rlgsbee, Bessie
Kibler and Maud Jenkins.
Misses Edith Watson and Mattie
Callison, two sophomores, left for
home Friday, May 24th. We
all were very loth to have these
loyal members leav e us.
Miss Adele Knebel, of Greenville,
Is attending commencement as the
gu o st of Miss Grace Charles.
Miss Zula Willis is the hostess of
two beautiful young ladies, viz:
Misses Rosa Cheek and Ada Hughes,
who were members of the graduat
ing class of 1906.
Miss Edna Cane was expecting a
visit from her brother and is very
much disappointed to learn that he
will be unable to come.
Misses Pearl Stewart and Lola
MlcClaln, former graduates of Lime
stone, are now on a visit to Miss
Eunice Ford, professor of ethics
and political economy.
Miss Vera Groce, a member of the
class of 1904. is here visiting Miss
Amaryllis Ballanger.
Miss Donna Martin has been sick
for the past week, but we are glad
to report that she Is now much bet
ter.
Misses Eloree Anderson and Bruce
: Parsons left for Woodruff Satur-
; day, May 25th.
Miss I»ulse Moorehead is visiting
i her cousin, Miss Bessie Kibler.
I H. M.
ing, in oil and water colors, china
painting, study of form, theory of
perspective, study in light and shade
from the cast and from life.
The exhibition of the work for
the past year was first opened to the
public on Saturday evening and will
be opened at any time for public in
spection until Wednesday mclrning.
Paintings and drawings in all the
mediums are on exhibition in the art
hall.
Miss Aurelia Lodge, the graduate
of the department of this year, has
on exhibition the following pieces:
Greek figure in water colors, flower
girl in water colors, vase of roses
in water colors, girl’s head In sepia,
two marine scenes and one wood
land scene in pastel, dog’s head,
sailor’s head in oil painting, fruit
from nature and one tapestry paint
ing.
Miss Lodge has been for a numb
er of years a diligent and faithful
art student and has won honorable
mention, especially In the line of
water color painting.
The oil paintings by Misses Cheek,
Clinkscales, Fennell, Garrett, Gaffney,
Hiers, Jones, Mitchell, Phifer, Pierce,
Potter, Twitty and Vaughn, are exe
cuted with skill and artistic taste.
Many of much more experience in
oil painting fall short In producing
the e ffe cts on canvas of those seen in
some of the paintings by Misses
Potter, Jones, Twitty, Pennell and
Clinkscales. The pastels are of ex
cellence In coloring and perspective.
The china decorators, Misses Dew,
Ford, Andrews, Phifer and Knight,
have gone beyond the usual expecta
tion in that branch of work. China
of all description has received the
most careful attention under the
artistic strokes of those in that de
partment and tables suitable for the
palace of a king, or any of the most
fastidious taste, can be adorned with
th e china which has been turned out
from that branch of work.
Believing that a structure is no
stronger than Its foundation, the art
department emphasizes especially the
drawing classes.
The work Is directed to acquiring
a sound knowledge of the principles
of construction by line and plane,
which underlie all drawing from that
of the simple solids to that of the
human form.
The painting department Is full in
its courses as seen by the work now
on exhibition.
A kiln for firing china is in the
college to meet the demands of that
branch of the work.
A graduate of the school of art of
Limestone College finds ready ad
mission into the advanced art schools
of New York city and stands equal
to a graduate of any other Southern
college.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop
ular People and Short Items of
that Section.
Wllkinsville, May 24.—The chain-
gang has been working the roads in
this section this week—not, however
before they needed it. But it’s never
too late to do good.
In a letter from “Uncle Jimmy,”
of Manchester, Va., we learn that the
city of Richmond intends making
this the grandest reunion of U. C.
veterans ever held. $40,000 has al
ready been appropriated to care for
the veterans and contributions are
constantly coming in. Nothing will
be left undone that will contribute
to the pleasure of the occasion. And
to all an old time Virginia welcome
is extended.
To many, very many, this will be
th e last reunion on earth.
Day by day our ranks are thinning,
One by one we disappear,
And at each succeeding roll-call
Fewer voices answer, "Here.”
Still our regiments are marching—
Many march with noiseless tread
While death’s bugle sounds “as
semble”
“In the bivouac of the dead.”
It’s a wise woman who realizes
that two husbands of twenty years
each ar e not necessarily as good, or
better than one of forty.
A good wife will try to make her
husband’s clothes to fit him as well
as his ways to fit her.
We can count no gift, grace or
blessing truly our own until we have
evidence that others have been
made to share it with us.
In going to the entertainment the
other night some ladles discovered
what they thought was a snake lying
in the road and of course gave the
alarm. A gentleman who was along
told them It was nothing and went
to see about it. He concluded it
was a snake and said: "I’m going
to kill It.” Gathering up a rock he
threw as hard as he could—hard
enough to make him grunt He hit
It and found it was on.y a root.
The laugh, of course, was on him
after that.
The Confederate monument will
will he unveiled at Union tomorrow.
The prospects at this time are that
It will be Impossible for us to enjoy
the pleasant occasion—very much
to our regret. The ladles of Union
county certainly deserve great cred
it for what they are doing and have
done In this respect. At Jonesvllle
they have Just completed and un
veiled a magnificent abaft at a cost
of $1,500. The one at Union cost
$2,000. Both of these owe their ex
istence to the patriotic ladies of
their respective towns and the coun
try surrounding. It was a simple
truth General Joe E. Johnson told
General Rosecrans of the Federal
army, when the latter asked him
why the South didn’t lay down Its
armg and stop the war. "Onr women
would never submit to It In the
world,” said Johnson .
Corporal Tanner, the legless
Union soldier, told the veterans in
his speech at the Richmond reunion
In 1896 hat If it hadn’t been for the
women, we, (the federals) would
have whipped you (us) fn one year.
The building of a power dam at
Hamilton’s Shoals on Broad river Is
about an w e hear now outside of
current neighborhood gossip. We
hope both sides of the matter—Its
advantages and disadvantages—will
be fairly and dispassionately discuss
ed In the prints and otherwise so
that those Interested, or to become In
terested, can form an Intelligent
Idea as to what should be done or
left undone for the betterment of the
country concerned. Wfe favor the
development of the country and Us
resources, but not at the expense of
its sanitary condition. On this we
propose, at a n early day, to give our
views for what they are worth.
There are always two sides to a sub-
lect—even though one is right and
the other wrong, it sometimes hap
pens that both are right or both
wrong, in that event the greatest
good to the greatest number should
only be considered In the one, while
in the other choose the least of the
two evils.
The one-man idea is as tyranlcal
in its way as the one-man rule. We
can’t conscientiously subscribe to
either one, or say that It Is right.
It’s dangerous In the extreme, as
Iona as human nature Is what It Is.
What we n^ed is intelligence that
enables each man to decide for him
self. Wte hop*, the day Is fast pass
ing that the whole country Is to he
carried in the hands and pockets
of designing politicians, merciless
monied corporations and unprincipled
tricksters. Until our people are
drilled in th‘- old-time common-
sense school of experience this state
of affair* will exist—till then, and
not till then, can we reasonably look
for a change.
On Friday the 7th of June the
Confederate monument erected by
the ladies to the memory of the
soldiers who went to the war from
York county will t»e unveiled at
Yorkville. Your correspondent has
the honor of being one of that num
ber and he can’t well afford to he
absent on that day. An elaborate
programme has been prepared and
sent out.
The history of the world falls to
pre.-sent a parallel case to that of the
Confederate States when a people
crushed, overpowered and defeated
have so constantly and persistenly
glorified a lost cause. All over this
land monuments as lasting as time
itself, are being erected by the wo
men to perpetuate and keep alive
the memory of the men as well as
their deeds which to them Is a price
less heritage. For forty years they
have been at work and their enthu
siasm is stil] increasing. Each year
brings new recruits to their ranks
and adds more zeal for their work.
The South Is the only people on
earth that defeat doesn’t humiliate
or discourage.

we reported in our last letter. Is get
