MONDAY, JANUARY 19.
MH.J.L BARTON
IS THE FOREMAN
Grand Jury Met This Morning
and Organized. To Consider
Norris and Armstrong Cases.
The Richmond County grand jury
organized this morning and at once
began the transaction of business. Mr.
J. F.. Barton was chosen foreman
and Mr. J. Coleman Dempsey, sec
retary. Mr. Patrick Britton was elect
ed bailiff.
Jqdge Hammond gave the grand
jury a very brief charge. He stated
that the body would not at this term
of court have to look into the affairs
of the county and make a report and
only criminal business would be dealt
with. After explaining the functions
of the grand jury and urging as much
rapidity in the consideration of busi
ness as was consistent with the jury
doing its full duty, the court closed
Mb charge.
The two most important cases be
the grand jury are those against
Armstrong, cashier of the Irish
American Bank, and Samuel Norris.
The former is charged with forgery in
connection with a note which he gave
to the Citizens & Southern Bank as
security for a loan. It is charged that
he forged the name of one of the en
dorsers.
Norris is charged with the murder
of bis wife and William Dennis, his
chauffeur.
There are about 70 cases to be con
sidered by the grand jury.

FARMERS,'ATTENTION
Protecting Peas in Shipping.
The increasing value of peas and
eoy beans is emphasized by the South
ern classification committee putting
into effect the following rule for all
shipments over Southern railroads:
"Bags must be made of burlap (not
less than ten ounces per yard) or cloth,
and be sufficiently strong and so
closely woven and stitched as to carry
contents safely and prevent sifting.
Bags which have been used for fertil
izers or other articles containing acids
must not be used."
With peas now worth three to four
cents a pound, every producer and
shipper should be governed by this
wise provision for the elimination of
waste. —The Progressive Farmer.

At The Grand
The Marvelous Magic of Song, By
Mme. Edvige Vaccari, Leading
Lyric Soprano With the San
Carlo Grand Opera Co.
"It is not uncommon for the blase
and world-wearied auditors to be
come thrilled to the heart with the
wizard-like power and magnetism
wafted over the footlights by the opera
singer. Great audiences numbering
many thousands are enthused, up
lifted and helped toward things by
the power and song and the exquisite
harmonies composed by the great mas
ters.
Some of the most famous singers,
however, do not exercise or possess
any considerable amount of magnet
ism or personality and It is equally
true of great instrumentalists, ntanv
of whom, although well nigh perfect
as to technique yet leave no impres
sion beyond a realization of thetr
superb mechanical skill, it is the
song direct from the heart that really
sways the heart and most deeply
touches the sacred emotions of all hu
manity. Technical achievements may
dazzle, cyclonic outbursts of sheer
power may overwhelm, hut In the end
it is the God-gifted singer who leaves
the greatest effect on any audience.
“One must not alone possess the
mastery of their vocal art, but they
must have a deep and sympathetic
comprehension of the great sorrows
and Joys of humanity in order to win
the fame that is best and eternal.
"In short, one must be a "poet of
the voice”; “poetry” someone has
said, 'is a criticism of life In terms
of the emotions’.
“The true artist is a deep student
of every form of song, even while per
fectly aware that his own voice muy
he only used in a certain way.
"Europeans accuse Americans of be
ing a most material nation, but there
is a great hope for this country so
long us they cun thrill at the will
of the master magicians of music.
"In short —song and art are to your
people want the fairy tale Is to the
prattling child and if you list truly
you will grow even greater In your
taste for grand opera.”
The San Carlo§ Grand Opera Co.,
will present Friday evening "11 Trova
tore”; Wednesday, matinee, “Lucia,"
and Wednesday, evening, “Caroibena"
and "I Paglaccle.”
Mme. Nazitnova in ‘‘Bella Donna.”
Madame Nazimova, the talented and
distinguished Russian actress, is pre
senting this season a play that has
been taken from the popular novel,
Bella Donna, by Robert Hichens and
it is generally agreed that it is tho
best vehicle and strongest play that
she has had since she became one
of the foremost figures on the English
speaking stage. The adaptation had
been made by James Bernard Fagan
and it is said to be one of the most
effectively and hundsaunely mounted
offerings that has beeng presented in
a very long time. Tho title role,
which falls to Nazimova, is a trying
one but her rendition amounts to ;i
positive triumph and it offers her
splendid opportunities to bring out
the full scope of her remarkable his
trionic temperament. Her gowning of
tho part is also said to bo remark
able for four handsomer creations
have seldom been seen on the stage.
The first act of tho play Ih placed in
tho consultation room of a celebrated
London doctor and the other three,
which are romurkable for their beau
ty of stage setting, are placed on
tho banks of the river Nile, in Egypt.
Nazlmova’s supporting company is an
exceptionally strong one, identical
in fact with that which supported her
during tho long and successful run
of “Bella Donna” at tho Empire thea
ter, New York City, last season. Chas.
Frohman presents Nazimova In "Bella
Donna” at the Grand Thursday even
