TO SUBSCRIBERS! If YOU have r.ot yet replied to o ir circular letter of February 22nd please do so at once as we are very anxious to get ALL our expiration dates correct. L. G. YOUNG, Manager Times. We again call the attention of the teachers of the seveval schools to our request that they furnish us with copies of their inter* sting articles written for ami read hef* re their association. We give to our readers and especially the teach* rs one of the scries of articles written by the teachers <>f (ircenville and published in the Clreenville Da'dy News. After reading this article on "Kooin Adornment'' we f-el certain that the teachers ?.l the schools in I'nioii will he eiieou raged to write for publication on tin- sul jeot suggt sted by Tin Times unci other kin Tv 1 subjects. Tlie State issued Wednesday was the most in tern-ting copy ever issued l?y The State company. This paper publishes a number of the most highly int-resting historic facts written by those who experienced the rigors and deprivations of war. Under the head of "Our Women in the War" The State has by the articles ahovc referred to given to the public such facts as would entitle the women of the south, our women of the war, a monument of more; grandeur than any that has ever heen erected to commemorate and perpetuate the memory of the greate.-t hero known to history. MUSIC. In another column of this issue of Tin: Times is au artic le entitled "The Value of Music." The thoughts and ideas therein expressed are beautiful in language and senti meat. At no time perhaps in the hist ?ry of the world lias mu.-ic heen so classic as now, yet the old masters are still being copied and worshiped hy the new. In this age of advanced science music hy the new masters has Income more scientific and less melodious, it i.- a concede! an 1 recognized fact that those who possess natural musical talent and | lay an instrument hy ear and not hy note, laing forth the sweetest strains of melody, as is also a fact those wh ? play hy note and mechanically cannot, (of course the many exceptions to this last assertion are not included.) We did not intcn 1 in this to write a dissertation < 11 the subject of mu-ic, hut on the contrary t-> take issue with the above mentioned article with rofercn *e to the kind and style of music now used in the churches. We have always thought that the * ? / i .1 \ i i (leva iparaon mo expression; nau more than his share of pretty songs. We have never thought that all psalms and hymns should he set to doleful, solemn music, hut to sweet, cheerful and lively strains, yet not wild levity or jolity#Such as would detract from the nakedness of the service. The hymn, !fcJc ,s, lover of my soul," when sung to the tune of "When the swallows homeward fly," is much prettier than the usual tune to which it is sung. It is true there are wuiiy very boautik. ' HASTY GUILTY 1 l OF MURDER _ 0 WITH RECOMMENDATION TO MERCY OF THE COURT. Was Sentenced to Life Imprisonment. Motion for New Trial Made?Will No Doubt go to Supreme Court. Verdict Meets Approval of Entire Goininunity. (ieorg? Hasty was found guilty i of murder with recommendation to ' mercy and was sentenced to life in | the penitentiary. Our first dis f :1 and appropriate tunes to which hymns tiro sung which should not be changed for any other. We! think good music in divine worship a Uls materially to the effective service and there have Invn conversions through song that doubtless would never have been, as some can he re.\chcd only in this way. A song often awakens old and sacred memories that words otherwise uttered would fail to effect. "THE D^R OLD PAPER." Last week we sent out a number of circular letters to our subscribers c dling attention to the dates after their names showing when their snhseriptions expired and asked for payment if due and for confirmation of date lines so as to get our subscription list as near perfect as possible. The replies wo are receiving makes one feel that his work is appreciated at least by some of bis fellowm- u and ladies. Some who ar behind write to say that they "will pay up in full as soon as they can come to town but do not stop the dear old Timks in meantime. Others say they "are only a few months behind but enclose check to put them in advance, and say. for we cannnoi afford to miss a c >py of the dear old paper," while another writes that "you are away off on my date, 1 am paid up to Jane, It KM'.. 1'ity hut what you could be as accurate in your subscription dates as you are in news, f >r my folks swear by your news columns. In fact 1 must congratulate you on the service you are giving'." Another writes that he is pa if I to two, but uh your hooks only show 15)01 I enclose two dollars. It makes no difference about, tile dales, mistakes will occur, and j besides the paper is fully worth two j dollars should I he right about paying. ' In one mail we have I "I have never subscribed for your paper. It has been sent me years. You can craee my name from your books if you like, as I do not get the paper once a month anyway. Some of the letters are addressed -wrong and some mistakes math? in getting off such a quantity, but though some get mad they are talked into a good humor, for our fighting man has gone011 a vacation and only peace and harmony is in the office. The olive branch is held out to any t<> whom we have given offence and should they state their grievances we will try and make amends. Wo earnestly request that those who have put off answering the i ... i ?? ood :11 cnruiai inin , iiiiiuuu un __<i, win do so at oiu'O. If each subscriber could realize the task in keeping a mailing list of such a size as Tin: Timks carries wo would not have to repeat the request. If each one will only give a minute to answer the letter, on the postal card enclosed in same, stating if their expiration date is correct and send the money due as soon as possible thereafter, they will confer a great favor on all concerned from the editor to the foreman in the press rootn who has the hardest work of all in getting proper changes on his i mailing galley.- of type. Death of J. Robert Lybrand. Mr. J. Uohcrt Lybrand died at bis home in .Jonesvillc early Friday night. He had not heen very well 'and on the night of his attack he retired early and he got ur> from his bed ami fi ll in the lloor. Jle was stricken with apoplexy and | never recovered consciousness. Mr. Lyhrand came to I'nion soon ! after the completion of I'nion coti ton mill No. 1, and for several : years he was engineer at that mill. H-' was a good machinist and had been employed in the capacity of engineer at different places for a minder of years. lie went from lu re to Jonesville and was employed as engineer in the cotton mill at that place. He leaves a wife and several children and several brothers. Two of his brothers are here. Mr. J. Robert Lyhrand was a good citizen and was a very popular man wherever lie lived. At Jonesville he was twice elected alderman on the town council and served very acceptably. He was a conservative man, of good sound judgment, and his opinions tvero respected; a true friend and good neighbor. The sympathy of this community is o&iendui to kit* Uirwivini family. . \ 1 patch which reached us at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning and which wo give on front page was an error, ^ and we now give the true verdict of I the jury. The verdict seems to meet the approval of the community in which the killing occurred. .lonesville News Notes. Jonesville, March ~>th.?Mr. John It. l.yhrand died at his home here last Friday night. He got up from j his hed last Thursday night and fell I in the floor and was taken up and laid upon the bed unconscious and i he never was conscious any more and died early Friday night. 1 >r. Southard was with him but medical : treatment could do no good and the end came peacefully. The Doctor ! pronounced it apoplexy. Mr. l.yI brand came to Jonesville ffve or six years ago and had during that time made many friends here; in fact, every one who knew him spoke well of him. lie was about sixty one I years of age and was usually a | healty, stout man. He was a con si stent member of the Methodist church and the burial services were conducted at the Methodist church by nis pastor, Rev. I). E. Camak, Saturday evening in the presence of ; ;i ningi ryxtmm ui luiiiiivi s UKIU friends, who tinned out to pay the last sad rites to one whom they honored. The remains were then i home to our village cemetery and there laid to rest until the resurrccj tion morn. At a meeting of the directors of the Jonesville Mfg. Co. last week, J. J. Littlejohn, President, was authorized to call a nfeoting of the I stockholders for the purpose of votI ing on an increase of the capital stock of one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars, which will double the preaent capital stock'of the plant. Ths ohj ct of the increase is to put in a cloth mill. Mr. Littlejohn has been North and got the promise of all the Northern help he asked for. Mr. J. VV. Bates new dwelling on Main street is nearing completion. I Mr. T. M. Littlejonn's large new residence on Pacolet street is looming up and will soon be covered in. ! Miss Addic Lemaster will soon build a nice cottage upon Pacolet street upon a lot she owns. Mrs. G. 11. Fowler and Mrs. J. W. Lipscomb have lately returned from northern markets, where they nurchased largely of late fashion able .spring milliners goods. That was rather a novel wedding down in Jacksonville the other day when hride and groom wen; married in a cage of lions. The keeper made the lions take their seats and lie sat between the lions and the hride and groom and the preacher stood out and talked through the bars of the cage. A large purse of gold was math; up and presented to the romantic young couple for the daring and perilous manner in which they stood at the bridal altar. | Messrs. ,J. (.'. Wallace and lb F. Townscnd, of the I'nion bar, were j in Jonesville last week on profes; sional business. ; Mr. (ieorge C. l'errin, Jr., spent Sunday in I'nion witi) bis parents. Miss Frances Whitmiiv, of I nion, and her brother from (Jreenvillc, were the guests of Miss Belle Wliitlock last Saturday. The pulpits of the Methodist church lu re and the pulpit of the Gih-ad church were all filled by i their respective churches yesterday and good congregations greeted each preacher, which goes to show that ours arc a church going people. Tixf.piiom:. The Value of Music. The making of music is natural to all races and classes of people, and its nohlest. use is in the praise of God. Such lias always been its mission among savage as well as I eivilixed people. However crude its form and expression, yet, among the most savage races and especially in the wonderful civilizations before the time of Christ we lind the same use of this art, to enhance, intensify and beautify the worship of their gods. For centuries all the beet musicians were in the church. Their consecrated endeavors gave purpose and direction to thueailie t musical services oi^ho Christians, HI The bes | $3.1 si Positive M dress}', | gg abie Sh< ! I The i has just |gj and low gun in< M The on I; H Shoes. i > Muiua IP K The purpose of the music service I is, like the purpose of the church j itself, worship and ministry. The spirit finds its deepest expression in | 3 music." The use of music beautifies, and blesses all the relations of life. I 5 Appropriate music in church pre- j pares pastor and people for worship and inspires their devotions; inap- j propriate music unfits them for worship and nulifies the best efforts \ of the minister. Unfortunately much of the musical service in our i American churches seems purposeless. The most stored and impres- ; sive words are sung to the popular melodies of sentimental songs, j The two great religious move- j mcnts of modern times have intro riuced such music far ami wide, on- J dorsing it with their great iniluoncc. This is a misfortune hoth to the church and the cause of good music. ; Real sacred music is inherently so. We are impressed hy the exalted spiritual character in it. Its influence is refining and ennobling, j J Is it not true that a church which demands music of a trivial and sentimental style is likely to have a religious life of a similar character, while the church which requires \ .sacred music of the most noble j character is sure to have a grand \ j faith and a life full of inspsration ? and holiness. Such music is f abundant, we need not seek far for I it. If our churches do not have ( the ministry of music the fault is i most generally in their unintelli- C gent and unbusiness-like manage- ! inent of this most important part k of worship. Music is good for the j health. Those who are interested j in deep breathing will find the most ( perfect form of deep breathing in I the proper method of vocal music. People who look upon music as a | mere accomplishment with which to entertain friends or display per- g sonal talent place too low an esti- g mate upon the word which is t fraught with a far more snored li meaning. Every bond of sympathy t in pleasure or in toil, every shade of higher feeling in the scale of c human emotion is made more snored I and more wonderful when it finds y expnssion in the form of immortal g nn-lody. Upon its wings of liquid ? h'-auty our hearts most snored ij prayer is waft'd on high. Tt lifts t our souls into mysterious touch with f the divin a sou no from which wo spring an 1 wc aie healed and com- J forted. t E. A. Garner. .
