Saturday, January 9, 1926An occasion of unusUal interest and merit was the birthday dinner given in honor of Mr. Robert J. Palmer on his 77th birthday by the immediate members of the family. A number Of close personal friends were- invited to come and join them in the celehration of this -most august event, the meaning of which was~impfied~cnd expressed, that a few men reach the ripe old age of 77 years and fewer still have a birthday celebration when they do reach that age: for the tendency of the times is not to rejoice?when- one of the family has been spared to reach such an age, but rather to bemoan their lot andt "curse ^he Fates" that inflict them with a burden that is "old and only in the way-" This notable example and exception of filial love and affection was* fittingly observed in the splendid conception of a feast, with thejcentral figure surrounded by the family and a bevy of congenial spirits. The intent and purpose of "killing the fatted calf- and making merry was featured in the fact that this fe'ast was given in honor, of one who stayed at home and had lived woi^thily of all the. honors that, .could be bestowed upor him, and had reached the place where he is lovingly spoken oi ?'3 ythe oldest inhabitant" oi this city, a distinction coveted by many, but attained by few Those present showered upor Mr. Robt. J. Painter congratulations! hearty -and sincere and il is believed those who were not ited space) are equally sincere in their congratulations. The occasion was graced with the presence of Mrs. Leila Pal mer, Mrs. Adelaide McDonald, Mrs. RoSina Palmer Chappelle Miss Mae M. Palmer, rfiembers of the family and Rev. &nd Mrs J. Frederick, ReV." V. S. Johnsor Mrs. Alice S- Williams, Mrs. Ly dia Lewis, Mrs. Fannie Garnes Mrs. Julia Mae Harris/ of Sa -vannah, Ga., Mrs.?Ford ol Georgetown and Prnf Willinrr H. Thmoas.

The Chijcago Art Institute has his "Peter and John at the Tomb of Christ" The -"Metropolitan Art Museum !of New York City; which is'tlie greatest of all of our art r^us|eums, has recently placed upon its walls a picture by Mr. Tanner, "Sodon and Gomorrah/' rojpresentTng^ Lot and his 2 daughters escaping from the fire and | brimstone of the Lord, showing | the figurespf Lot and his daugh| te'rs in thiLforeground with their 1 faces set away from the destruc: tion behind them. In the back! ground he depicts a seething*, convoluted mass of smoke. ' The picture which Clafiin has oocured is a marine view, representing the rising of a storm. It is something-on th eorder~of the picture which has been recently secured by the Metropolitan Art Museum of~Kew~York City. In one, this expression of terrific elemental power is ex, pressed in water, and in the othI er through fire. The Clafiin i picture is & masterpiece by. one of the world's greatest masters.

Bishop Hartzeil j had the picture in his possession jand because of his, previous relations to this work" he desired j to ^have one of Mrr-Taimer'sr picBishop Jiartzell, this unusual work of art could never have been secured. Eb\ L. M. Dunton, | President Emeritus of Claflin j University, and Mrs. L. M. Dunton paid the first $25 to secure t-lie picture. Bishop Richardson and many of the brethren Of the Conference and Laymen sut> scribed liberally. The students and teachers of Claflin also assisted by their subscriptions. , ine picture is at (Jlatlin, and the money, is being rapidly raised to pay for it. There will be a public unveiling of the picture in January." The date will be an" flounced through The columns i of the $$)metto Leader , in order that ap of fhnsp who tlutfira tm visit the school and see this wonderful work of art by the greatjest that our race has produced, , will have an opportunity to do ' . SO. . T This is not the, only valuable painting?owned tjy Claflin. A 1!portrait of Robert Gould Shaw, painted by the great NegrVPartiist, Bannister, who lived many .years ago, hangs in our beautiful Lee Library, besides another painting by Mrs- L. M. Dunton-, I who is an artist of more than ordinary ability. Great credit is [due Mrs. Dunton for the quality of- the contribution which she ^ing herself a woman of high culture' iand extraordinary ??ttain,ments, she contributed liberally, 'jnot only to academic, religion? and moral life of the scliuul, bin | to the aesthetic and cultural (life as well.
