All of these artists arc among the moat famous of American musicians and their coming here is a thing to look forward to. Everybody knows of Reed Mlllor. Born In Anderson county of this state and spending many years of his boy hood here, i\o afterwards went to Clemson college and then to New York. Having a splendid voice as a young man, he always enjoyed sing ing and when he went North he took up the culture of his voice in earnest.

Taken as a whole, the company consists of ar tists who occupy prominent places in , the musical world. The Civic League has several * OLD TIME SCHOOL. .***?***?***??* One of our congressmen in his speech before tho house was lauding the noble Daniel Webster; He ex claimed the grandest piece of work of his life, was the making of the Webster spelling hock. A member, sitting near, whispered to him, "You are wrong, it was Noah Webster that made the hook. He replied, "It was no such a thing. Noah made the Ark." In my school days many boys and. girls got their education out of the old blue back spelling book. When you mastered this book, you were a fair reader and speller. We had no graded school houses, only log wall buildings, with a wide fire place, a few window shut ters for light, no glass ash. The seats were pine slab benches, with no backs to them. The little tots, when sitting on the benches, would have their feet swinging above the floor. The teacher sat on a high chair, where he could look over the room. By his side was a lot of keen switches, which he freely used on his pupils. In cold weather you had to get permission to go up to the flre to warm. If you went out, you had to ask for leave of absence. Some of the teachers had a board at the door, marked one side "out", on the other side "in". Every one In passing was required to turn the board. On enter ing the school In the morning, you had to make your bow to the teacher, The llrst and last work of tho school was a spelling lesson by all the .scholars, sometimes they would num. her out I, II. 111. IV. V. The teacher would rest his scholar.-, by letting them pet their lessons out. The;, you would hear a noise right! A long table was used for writing lessons. Every pu pil would bring his fools cap paper The Master Would get the copy (n< copy books then). You would lirsi make straignt marks, pot hooks thoi A B C's. You used a goose qull pon, which the teacher mado. What a tlmo there was in tho prltlng hour, My pen lets down too much Ink? Mim won't make a mnrk. The most er had short pen knife and a little whet 9ton< In his vest pocket. What a time h( had mending pens! The teach had red, blue and black ink to make nil fancy copies. The boys would get Ink balls o ffthe oak trees, other? would get chlnquopln or maple bark put a little copperas in it, and mak< their own Ink. The big boys were allowed to ciphei things which they are striving to ac complish and they need help, finan cial help. They expect the musically Inollned people of the city to help In this undertaking, not only by attend ing the concert themselves but by urging their friends) and acqualnt ences t oattend. The concert will bo given in the opera house, beginning promptly ut 8:30 o'clock. Tho prices of admission will be very reasonable. Inside the railing downstairs, whore seats will be reserved, tho price will be $1.00. Behind the railing will be 75 cents and the gallery will be 50 cents. A partition is In the gallery separating the races. Particular pains have been taken by the ladies in charge of the concert to have the ticket sale conducted so that none may be disappointed In secur ing tickets. They have had reserved and general admission tickets print ed to be sold on the streets. Those purchasing these reserved seat tickets can carry them to the Palmetto Drug store on the 19th and have them ex- ' changed for numbered reserved seats or coupons. Mp'.I orders received up until that date will also be taken care of on the same day. Purchasers of reserved seat tickets on the streets nre expected to have them exchanged for the coupons on that day. Then, on the next day or thereafter the gen oral sale of reserved seats will take place, when anyone can buy tickets | and coupons at. the drug store. Of course, anyone buying tickets on the streets can have them redeemed at the drug store even after the 19th, though it will be best to secure the coupons in exchange for the tickets on the 19th so as to bo sure of secur ing a seat. This plan was hit upon by the ladies to ensure everyone se curing a reserved seat who purchased a ticket before the 10th. This also gives the early purchaser the advan tage of the purchaser who delays, be cause the holders of the street sale tickets have the first chance at the reserved seats. As the number of reserved seats is limited, it will be safest to buy at the first opportunity. out-doors under the shade trocs. ; Their sums were worked out on slates. : No such a thing as a scratch table) In use!
