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.

think good music in divine worship

and there have Invn conversions
through song that doubtless would

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.

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,

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
