Of selling goods. He didn't meet with

from an old customer that he was too
late. the order having been placed. he
offered to take the order ut one cent per
pair less if the dealer would counter
mand the one he had given. This was
agreed to. and the manufacturer re-
turned with the feeling that his jour
ney had not been all entire failure. But
he discovered on looking at his CORE

his own salesman which he had bFibed
the dealer to repudiate. Then he So

ON THE ROOF.

Have you never read Of a persons hair
turning gray in single night? OF course
you have. The old story books are full
Of such tales. I can remember dozens of
them-stories reeking with gore and
dank with dungeons, and grewsone with
ghosts and other uncanny things. The
heroine, and sometimes the hero, goes to
bed at night with hair as black as the
ravens wing, and along in the night
come the horrors, whatever they are, and
in the morning the raven hair has turned
. snowy white.
lean remember, too. that never used
to take any stock in such stories. used
to hear them read. and get up quite q

portions, especially when the candle
fiickered awhile. leaving everybody in

to hurry up to bed and tuck my head

The Impression Made in Winston by the
| University Glee Club.


The Twin-City Daily, commenting
upon the recent concert in that city by
the University Glee Club, speaks thus en-
Enthusiastically of the performance
"The opera house was well filed last
night and every one present enjoyed the
performance-the University Glee Club
concert. The programme, composed OF
the most attractive college songs, sere-
nades, warblings and whistlings in the
larger universities of to. day, was rendered
with degree of excellence seldom sur
passed and reflected, indeed, worthy
credit upon North Carolina talent. We
feel proud of the boys and of the uni
versity from which they come. The
members are all vocalists of rare ability
and the choruses were exceptionally fine.
The solo singing of Mr.. Harris called
forth repeated encores, as did indeed
nearly every rendition of the evening.
Messrs. Bachelor and Mangum, as first
tcnors, were exceptionally good, and
Messrs Lee and Rondthaler, the president
and business manager of the organiza-
tion, deserve special mention. 1t was all
good"

A CLERICAL POLYGAMIST.
"A Methodist Minister with Three Living
Wives.

MADISON, Ga, April 12.-Bishop Atti
of California, has telegraphed Rev. War.
rem Gambler, president of the Emery
Methodist college, Of Oxford, Ga, to have
arrested, if possible, Rev. Edgar Dunbar
and wife, the former being minister in
the California conference, and to divest
him of his ministerial credentials. The
charge is that Mr.. and Mrs. Dunbar are
living in illegal union and the story OF
the case is an interesting one. Mr. and
Mrs Dunbar arrived in Oxford some time
ago to visit their son who was attending
college there. They were we'll received
and Mr.. Dunbar filed the pulpit for Dr.
Gambler on more than one occasion.
1t developed that twenty five years ago
Edgar Dunbar, who is a native of Florida,
married beautiful woman there and
raised a small family. He afterwards
eloped to Little Book, Ark, and assumed
the name of Seth Burnett. He was ad-
mitted to the Methodist conference of
Arkansas. Here he had another family.
He became tired Of his second wife and
family and again eloped with Mrs. Hern-
don, the wife of a neighboring local
preacher, going to Southern California,
where he resumed his own name.
Dunbar second wife devoted several
years to ferreting out his whereabouts
and finally succeeded in detecting him in
California. The attention of the authori-
ties of the Methodist church therein was
called TO the case and they at once con
cluded that the man was hypocrit In
the meantime Mr.. Dunbar, suspecting that
something was wrong, had left California,
stating that he was going to New York
but instead he went to Oxford. The
bishop promptly telegraphed to have him
and his wife intercepted, but the message
was sent too late, as the couple had left
Oxford.
Their son, who was at college and
whom they had been visiting, knew
nothing of the situation until informed
by President Gambler. The boy after
hearing the story Immediately followed
his parents TO New York kilograms
have been sent to New York to arrest
the couple.
