THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER.
The Symphony
It was amateur night at the Gaiety
and the house was packed. Never
since the little theater had been
built was there such an audience.
The manager was beside himself
with excitement, but the people be
fore the curtain did not confuse him
half as much as those behind.
The weekly prizes of sl, $2, and $5
were always contested for eagerly by
the people of the Latin quarter,
whose patronage the house solicited,
and more especially this Friday
night it seemed. The manager knew
why such an unusual number el
bowed and pushed each other in their
eagerness to get near the door.
The winners of the coveted dollars
would not squander them this week.
Instead, they would send them direct
ly to the homeland, where relatives
and friends were in terror and suf
-1 sering.
“They can’t all go on, Steve,” said
the manager to his assistant, "we'll
have to thin them out. See what
kind of a turn each one does and
take the best; get the funniest ev
ery time. The people have cried
enough this week —they’re paying to
be amused tonight, so be careful not
to get any weeping-willow acts.
Hustle up, now! I’ll look after the
seating. The law allows us to squeeze
in 100 more.”
The assistant hurried behind the
scenes and began sorting the per
formers. It was no easy task, and
many were the threats and curses as
one after another w-as refused a |
chance to go on. He had almost fin
ished his selection when he came to
a swarthy little man in the costume
of a Sicilian peasant.
“Hullo!” said the assistant. “What
do you do. Speak up?”
“Me playa de pian,” said the little
man, moving his fingers over an
imaginary instrument. “Me playa
good. Ye-es.”
“No pianists,” said the assistant,
moving on. “People no like. Get the
hook. Understand?”
“But —me playa ni-ce. Me no getta
da hook. Me maka da pian to task!’’
"No doubt you can make it walk,
but I can’t let you try. Next!”
The little man turned away, mut
tering as his fellows had done, and
the curtain w r ent up for the first per
former.
There was something wrong with
the audience that night. It was ex
tremely critical and hard to please.
The merriest jokes fell flat and the
cleverest trickster was only faintly ap
plauded.
“It’s funny,” said the manager as he
and his assistant met in the rear of
the hall. “What ails them? That last
song was well done and mighty
catchy. Why don’t they clap?”
“I don’t know,” said the other,
gloomily. “At the rate they’re turn
ing ’em down the whole bunch could
« have gone on. What! I told that
fellow to keep off.”
The little man in Sicilian costume
was standing in the middle of the
stage. He looked a bit of old Italy
with his curly locks and long gold
earrings. “I come to play to you of
the homeland,” he said in his native
tongue. “I have the music that can
make you see it as it lies in the sun
light. It will make you see the sea.
the olive groves and the clear blue
sky. Listen!”
The audience grew suddenly still
as he seated himself at the piano and
struck a few soft chords. Then the
notes began to weave themselves in
to a story, and as the musician un
folded it to his listeners his face
grew rapt and was beautiful.
When he stopped, the crowd broke
into a frenzy of applause. Men sobbed
and women screamed.
“What’ll he do next?” asked the
manager. •'The man is a wizard.
That’s fine! He’s playing the Italian
National air. Hurry up, Bowley, and
throw the pictures of the king and
queen on the screen before they stop
singing. The roof’ll fall with their
noise.”
When the lights were turned on
again the excitement had spent itself
a little, the man who had caused it, all
was gone. A reporter for one of the
dailies came hurrying up and seize!
the manager by the arm.
‘‘How’d you get him, Davy?” he
asked. “Where is he? I want to in
terview him. Quick, before he es
capes!”
“He’s gone already,” said the man-
I ager. “I wanted to see him, too He’s
just the man for the place.”
The reporter stopped him. “Do you
mean to say you don’t know who he
was?” he cried. “He was Lorenzo,
the great composer.”
“I was thinking some of hiring him
at 15 per,” he said. The next minute
he added thoughtfully: “What do you
suppose made him do it? He must
; have had reason.”
Hurrying homeward was the little
man in peasant's costume.
“Ah! they understood!” he mused.
"I knew they could. They loved it for
itself alone, not because I, the great
i Lorenzo, played it. No other but the
Italian could have appreciated it as
they did. To the English—bah—it
would have had to be explain’d in
cold worlds so that they might follow.
What care I if I get no gold beyond
the beggarly first prize, perhaps? Ap
preciation is more than applause or
money to a man who loves his art as
I love it.”

INSIUF FACTS OF THE
HUDSON CAMPAIGN

agent; P. A. Methvin, state pure food
inspector; R. J, Guinn, insurance
agent; Bolling H. Jones of the Atlanta
Stove Works; Eugene C. Callaway,
president Gate City Coffin Company,
Jacob W. Patterson, live stock dealer;
H. Y. McCord, wholesale grocer;
James L. Mayson, Atlanta’s present
City Attorney; R. J. Griffin, cautalist;
John A. Boykin, lawyer, and W. M.
McKenzie, president of Atlanta Oil
and Fertilizer Works.
About a half dozen of these are
said to have stood manfully to their
guns, paid every assessment and at
tended every meeting. Some paid in
part and came to meetings occasion
ally, while the others held aloof al
together after the Hudson campaign
was launched.
Wants Those ‘Higher Up.”
When the meeting of the campaign
committee was held to wind up the
outstanding bills there were only half
s dozen of the foregoing present and
one of them is said to have telephon
ed headquarters as soon as he heard
Mr. Hudson had withdrawn from the
race asking if he could not get his
last assessment back. He didn’t get
it.
It is pretty well known, however,
that Mr. Hudson had no hard feelings
against most of the members of the
\ committee whose names are given
above. It is said that he has it in i
for “those higher us,” whose names,
however have not been forthcoming.
There are others who are reported
to have been interested in getting Mr.
Hudson into the race who were not
present at any of his conferences. It
is generally reported that while neith
er Senator Hoke Smith nor Editor
James R. Gray of the Atlanta Journal
attended any of these conferences,
they were represented through
friends.
In this connection the recent trip of
Shelby Smith, who was to have been
Mr. Hudson’s campaign manager, to
Washington, and the announcement of
the withdrawal of M Hudson almost
immediately following his return, are
pointed to as significant.
Spent $7,500 in Race.
Mr. Hudson is said to have been
promised a campaign fund from any
' where from $15,000 to $25,000. It is
Jsaid his campaign to date has cost
5 $7,500, practically all of which has
| been paid by some members of his
dcommittee; and that this does not in-
I elude Mr. Hudson’s personal expenses
. for traveling and for the service of a
| number of men on his pay roll who
| were at work for him over the state
f Mr. Hudson and his friends seek to
'create the impression that he has ,t
' in for nobody, unless it be for some
Jof “those higher up” who, he thinks,
were really responsible for his down
fall.
Mr Hudson feels confident he could
have won the race for Congress In
the Third and wanted to stay there,
his friends say; but he listened to the
voice of the “tempter” and decided ro
make a try at the race for governo>,
getting out of it just in time to save
his farm.
That he will have something to say
in future regarding the manner in
which he was brought into the race
and then sidetracked, there can be no
question; and it is even reported that
Mr. Hudson, before long will make a
lull public statement of the whole
political fiasco.
the nose a filter
TO STRAIN THE AIR
Ely’s Cream Balm kills The Deadly
Catarrh Germs.
The nostrils are perfect “air filters’
and, when kept in clean, healthy state
strain every bit of air we breathe,
catching all dust particles, foreign
matter and germs. The air is full of
germs. You cannot dodge them, bur
you can safeguard yourself against
catarrh and other diseases contracted
in the process of breathing by keeping
the nostrils clean and healthy. Ca
tarrh germs will sometimes get in
their work, and you may mistake the
symptoms for an ordinary cold.
Don’t take any chances. If you have
a stuffed up feeling in the head, or if
your throat is sore or filled yith,
phlegm, just grease the nostrils with
a little Ely’s Cream Balm, draw the I
pure, aromatic fumes back in the head
! and you will be astonished at the ef
fect. In a few minutes you will feel a
loosening up in the head, the nasty
| discharge will soon be stopped, the
soreness gone, and you will feel a
sense of genuine relief.
Ely's Cream Balm not only wards off
catarrh, but will’quickly cure even a
chronic, long standing ease of catarrh.
It takes the trouble right where it
starts, in the nose and throat, cleanses,
heals and strengthens the raw, so.e
inside skin, or membrane, and in this
way drives out catarrh, and makes
you proof against this filthy, disgust
ing disease.
Summer colds, which often hang
on for weeks, can be quickly cured
with this cleansing, healing, antisep
tic balm. All druggists sell it for
fifty cents a bottle, and the one
bottle is generally all that is needed
to effect a complete cure. Try it to
day.
Watson announced that he and Fel-
I der would go td Baltimore, together.
Did he have any advance knowledge
of Gov. Cole Blease’s plans.
Brilliant idea! Tom Watson can
make his expenses to Baltimore by
serving a warrant on Tom Felder and
I swiping Gov. Blease's S2OO reward.
