MUSIC LOVERS ENTERTAINED. The Episcopal Church Concert a Rcauti* ful Affair and Oreat Success. Tuesday evening a largo audience J" gathered at the Opera House for the " concert given for tho benefit of the "Episcopal Church, which has been called the Laurens Mu4ic Festival. As u matter of actual truth, Tuesday eve ning's concert is not often surpassed at Music Festivals for the six artists who gave the programme were artists in deed and the concert would have been regarded as on "event" in musical cir cles anywhore. Mrs. Alexander Ix>ng, president of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Episco pal Church, was in charge of the con cert and her artistic hand was evident in the transformation of the stage from bare, bleak boards to a fairy land of roses. Busts of the great composers occu pied points of vantage on the stage, and perhaps were an additional inspira tion to the artists. The concert would not have been given, but for the untiring zeal and fine executive ability of Mrs. Long and to her is due a vote of thanks from all of Oie music-lovers of the city. .s. W. E. Lucas of Laurens, Miss Naanie Poole of Poolsville, Md., Miss Hughes of the musical department of Columbia College, Columbia, S. C, Miss Clifford of Union, Miss O'Bryan of Rock Hill and Mr. L. A. Bowman of Chicago were all on the programme and all appeared. To discriminate in praise of the artists is well-nigh impossible, but probably nothing quite as fine as '.Jiss Hughes's rendition of the "Mad Scene," from Lucia die Lammermoor has ever been given here. Her voice is a soprano of exquisite sweetness and even to the most uncultivated listener it is evident that he hears a voice which |has re ceived the very last degree of culture. Miss Poole has been spending the spring in Laurens and so generously lends her beautiful voice to her friends that the audience were well aware that her numbers would be one of the great treats of the evening. She has a con tralto voice of unusual beauty, and her selections were especially pleasing. Miss May O'Bryan of Rock Hill is a soprano singer of power and brilliancy and afforded the audience much pleas ure. Miss Clifford, the violinist, is a charm ing South Carolina girl, whose stage presence is one of her greatest charms, but she can also play the violin. She is so popular in Laurens, socially, and many went to hear her, because of her attractive personality, but they came away charmed with the artists as well. Mrs. W. E. Lucas played every ac companiment, the most difficult role in which anyone appeared, hut she also gave one piano sool, which everyone an ticipated and everyone enjoyed., to the fnHest extent. The announcement that Mrs. Lucas will herself play is always sufficient to make any entertainment attractive. It remains to speak of Mr. Bowman, of Chicago. Perhaps just to say that he came up to all expectations is suffi >v-cient, at least this will convey much to those who know how extensively his singing ha.? been lauded .n South Caro lina this spring. In every way the Concert was a suc cess and it is hoped that another year will see it repeated on a still more brilliant scale. MERCHANTS NEWS How about a good Mattress?

After remainig out for an hour the jury rendered a verdict for the full amount demanded by the plaintiff in the case of Carroll, executor of the es tate of F. G. Stacey against the Fi delity and Casualty Company of Bal timore, which was tried in the United States Circuit Court. The verdict was for $5,231, the full amount of the policy carried by the late Mr. Stacy with the in terest that had accrued since it became due. Because of the rather unusual nature of the defense the case has attracted a great deal of attention among insurance companies and with the public generally. Mr. Stacy was president of the National Bank of GafTney. More than a year ago, he had a personal encounter with another business man on the streets of Gaffney. In striking his opponent, Mr. Stacey bruised one of his hands. The wound amounted to little at first, but later blood poisen set in and he died just after his arm had been amputated. An effort was made to collect the in surance on an accidental policy and let ters were exhibited in which the agent recommended that it be paid. The com pany refused even after proof of death had been forwarded, claiming that death was not the result of an accident as contemplated under the term of the contract. The suit tried was then brought The company claimed at the trial that the bacterial affection of the wound which caused death could have been brought about by lotions and ap plications of various sorts made to the wound just as easily as from contami nation through the mouth as alleged in the complaint, and further, that even if Mr. Stacey died from the causes alledged he was acting unlawfully in engaging in a fisticuff and was therefore not entitled to the fund stipulated in the contract. CATARRH A I. TROUBLES PREVALENT. Spring Months Cause Sickncss-'Breathe Hyomei and Be Cured of Catarrh, Catarrhal troubles are more common at this season than at any other time of the year. The sudden changes that come during the spring months are productive of many cases of catarrh that without proper treatment will be come chronic. The pleasantcst, most convenient, and only scientific method for the treat ment and cure of catarrh is Hyomei. Simply put twenty drops in the little pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, and then breathe it for three minutes four limes a day. No dangerous drugs or alcoholic con coctions are taken into the system when Hyomei is used. Breathed through the inhaler, the balsamic fragrance of Hyomei penetrates to the most remote cells of the nose and throat, and thus kills the catarrhal germs, heals the ir ritated mucous membrane, and gives complete and permanent cure. ' Thousands of testimonials have been given as to the astonishing cures made by this remedy. J. S. Nugent, treasu rer of the New York Life Insurance Company writes: "Hyomei has com pletely cured my daughter of catarrh, from which she has been a sufferer for years. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but one dollar, and as the inhaler will last a lifetime and there is sufficient Hyo mei for several weeks' treatment it is the most economical catarrhal remedy known. Extra bottles can do procured for fifty cents. Ask The Laurens Drug Go. to show you the strong guarantee under which they sell Hyomei.
