TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS
MADE FOR THE SHILOH
ORPHANAGE.
As a result of the Informal little
musical tea given Tuesday after
noon at the homo of Mr». Ltindon
Thomas, two hundred dollars was
made for the Shiloh Orphanage.
As every body here knowns, Dan
iel Mc.Horton is trying to raise a
number of small negro children, to
train them In the way that, they
ahottld go, a way that he has gone all
his life. He has no regular income
but has through the charities of
many good people, managed to carry
out his work for a long time. Some
times he hns enough to make both
ends meet and then again therd Is a
wide gap that all the pulling at his
meager funds fall to bring together.
There have, on various occasions,
been given him help by Augustans
who realise that ha Is conscientiously
trying to do a good work and who
want to help him, If Hiey can not
make it a little less hard. Though
the personal Interest of Mrs. Tho
mas he has received this splendid
Sid, and seed has been sown for fu
ture help, as many who were out to
enjoy the charming little musical be
came deeply Interested In hearing of
the old man who is trying to place
others In a position to help them
selves. Many Hon Air guests wore
in attendance and many of the Hill
cottagers, also a largo number from

We feel that the Music Festival is
an absolutely certain and a very near
thing now that they have published
the programme and are beginning to
talk about flndlug accommodations
for the crowds of people we may ex
pect from the neighboring towns.
Spartanburg, where such a festival
has been successfully conducted for
some years, found long ago that it
was absolutely essential that board
ng places be found for the hundreds
and hundreds of people who either
could not get ppoms at the hotels or
who did not care to pay such largo
prices.

exhibition at the Madison
Square Gardden show. The
large dog is a Russion
Wolf hound. Mansie the
smallest dog at the show is
shown below.
Realizing the necessity of doing
something definite in this direction,
the managers of the Augusta Music
Festival are asking that everyone
having either board or lodging to of
fer will send their names and ad
dresses to the Secretary, Miss Ellen
Hickman, Summerville.
Prices aiso are requested. The in
formation for visitors thus secured
will be embodied in a little booklet
that will be issued by the entertain
ment committee of the Music Fes
tival.
It is felt that the proposed sacred
concerts for Sunday afternoons in
March will have not a little influence
for good on the Mublc Festival, since
the programmes of these concerts
will be made up of the best order of
mußic a familiarity with which is
most desirable as a means of culti

stories connect|d with thf American
stage, the story of Bettina Gerard, the
beautiful star whom Mr. Figman sup
ported in "The Marriage of Kitty.”
All the world knows of the daz--
zlingly brilliant but heart-breakingiy
sad life of the Bettina Gerard of Sa
vannah. who was the daughter of a
Confederate officer, one of the most
famous belles that ever graced Wash
ington society, and the toast of Green
briar White Sulphur, where the men
fought for the favor of drinking from
her small white satin slipper. Then
she began the downward path. 11l
and poverty-stricken, she for a time
sank from sight, and the rumor went
abroad that she had died. One enter
prising reporter went so far as to
print what was purported to be her
dying speech, in which she begged
young girls on the stage to beware
of her sad example.
Then suddenly Augusta was elec
trified by the information that Bet
tina Gerard or Bettina Padelford —
some calling her by her girl name and
some by that of the husband from
whom she ( had years before, run
away with ‘ a comic opera singer—
would he seen here in “The Mar
riage of Kitty." Very few believed
that they were actually to see the
lovely Georgia girl, but when the cur
tain rose and she and Mr. Figman
; made their appearance and began
- one of the most exquisite comedies
ever presented in Augusta, there
could no longer be a doubt as to her
identity, for she was as beautiful and
apparently as young as when, many
years ago, dressed in the motley of
the jester, she danced on the stage to
the measures of the tuneful melodies
In “The
man for whom she hal left her hus
j band.
j Shortly after this startling resur
| rection the gifted but ill-starred wo
| man did actually die, and then Mr.
THURSDAY, FEB. 18.
Figman began his successful career
as a star, coming back to Augusta
two seasons ago in "The Man on
the Box.”
It would be Interesting to know
just how tnanj' people will take the
birthday of George Washington with
becoming seriousness.
By seriously it is not meant that
we should bewail the fact that the
Father of his Country </j no bjeger
with us. He was born and lived at
just file right time, the time when he
was most needed, and it is entirely
possible that he would find himself
just a little out of place in this day
and generation. However, there are
some who think he would have found
his work much easier had he been
aided by ipodern inventions as was
shown in a clever cartoon published
some years ago in a prominent week
ly. And It is to this very cartoon
matter that we are referring when
we say that the anniversary should
be regarded more seriously.
Far he it from any one to belittle
the power of the cartoon. It has
probably ridiculed more abuses and
wrongs out of existence than have
been frowned down by half the re
formers who speak from pulpit or
platform; but at, the same time it has
made fun of much that should be
held sacred, as has regretfully ad
mitted one of our greatest cartoon
ists, when he attributed to Mark
Hanna, after that statesman's death,
what he had denied him in the pic
torial presentation of his character.
It makes no difference that you, or
I, or the other one should laugh at
the ludicrous hits on George Wash
ington that plentifully besprinkle the
pages of nine out of every ten jour
nals in the country, but the mere
fact that there is so much sufficiently
witty as to call for unrestrained mer
riment means , that there is being sac
rificed a splendid opportunity for
teaching the children of today the
true value of the principles directing
Washington’s life.
Too much worship of ancestry,
whether personal or national, is to
be discouraged, since it is in today
or in tomorrow that we must live,
and the heartiest expressions of
praise, the sincerest encouragement
must he given those who have to
fight the battles of the present. Still,
there never was a greater general
who preceded him, and there Js no
more potent factor in the df velop
ment of youthful character than to
have held up before the eyes of our
boys and girls the example of such
men as those who won the independ
ence which has been enjoyed by all
the generations following after.
There may be many conceivable
absurdities connected with the
cherry tree incident, but it is not ab
surd that a hoy should fear to tell
his father a life; neither is to be
lightly regarded the fact that it was
through the most fearful hardships,
in spite of almost overmastering dif
ficulties, that the victory over self so
hardly won by the young George was
repeated by General Washington
when a nation’s fate hung In the bal
ance.
No, we want no hysterical rhap
sodies over men who have long ago
passed to their justly earned reward;
but we do ask for sinoere apprecia
tion of those attributes which long
ago made America what it is todayj
and which must be cultivated in ths
rising generation if America would
in the future uphold the standard for
whiah stood the man who was born
on the twenty-second of February.
