OF course there is no plot to farce come
dy; that is, excepting to some of Charlie
Hoyts, and gu and l" did not depart from
this stringent rule enough to provoke COM
ment. But it was comedy, without doubt,
farcical enough to make marble statue
smile. The German professor and his Irish
friend, victims of the flowing bowl and bad
conscience, kept the audience in a roar.
The clever dancing of the lively ''trotters''
was watched with GREATNESS interest by all =,
and when Miss Kitty Kursale sang "Ta-ra-
ra-boom-de-aye" she received as great an
ovation for the size of the audience, as did
ever Lottie Collins. The despOtic janitor
kept the entire flat on pins and made life mis-
cradle for most of them. Miss Edith Newton
gave some pleasing operate selections, and
the singing of the other members of the COM
pany was very catchy and entertaining. Too
many attractions aud poor billing, owing to
mistake in addressing the cOmpany's paper,
are responsible for the small audience.

Geological Research.

Interesting excavations were made on the
Square Saturday morning by the village street
department. AS the work proceeded there
appeared distinct evidences of a prehistoric
civilization, and ultimately a formation was
ment in an excellent state of preservation.
The results of the work are highly satisfac-
tory to students of geological phenomena as
well as very many taxpayers who have paid
for that concrete on the suppOsiton that
there would be less mud and filth on por-
ton of the Square, and have been wondering
why the deuce the plan didn't eventu te.

DEMOCRATIC DEMONSTRATION.

Friday, the 10Th inst, will he bIg

NORTH CAROLINA'S FOREST IN.
TERESTS.

The State of North Carolina stands
alone in the United States, and also
in the whole world, for the magnlfl-
cent size reached by the deciduous
trees of her forests. With the single
exception of Florida, no other State
has 50 many kinds of trees, both hard
and soft wooded, and even Florida is
far behind in the variety Of the valua-
bic timber.
An important part of the North
Carolina exhibit at Chicago will con-
sist of a pamphlet for free distribution,
describing the trees and forest resour-
ces Of the State. The Agent in charge
Of the collection, Mr.. Clifford Pinchot,
Of Bilmorc, Buncombe county, North
Carolina, is anxious to gather together
the largest possible number Of measure
ments of the finest trees standing
either i'll the forest or in the open, IN
order to incorporate them IN the
pamphlets. 1t should be matter OF
pride with our citizens to see that
the trees 0: their section are fully rep
resented, for an attempt will be made
to connect the measurements of all
remarkable trees, with the name of the
localities in which they grew. The
only way to accomplish this end is to
send The dimensions Of remarkably
fine trees of any species growing IN
the State, to the Agent above men
toned. In doing SO send actual
measurements in preference to guesses,
and give the following dimensions
whenever possible. The circumfer-
encc or diameter at four feet above
the ground, the height OF the trunk to
the first branches, the height OF the
whole tree, and its spread, ifthat is note
worthy feature. Be careful to locate
each tree exactly, SO that the Agent
may have no difficulty in finding it
later if it should be thought we'll to
| photograph it.
Trees standing in the forest are
preferred to those which have grown
in the open; but measurements OF any
fine trees Will be welcome and useful
especially SO when the age of the tree
is accurately known.
Not only measurements, but all
accurate information concerning the
trees of the State will be of great
value to Mr.. Pinchot, and it is
earnestly requested that those who
have special information at hand, or
who are willing to collect it, will
communicate at once with him, since
every effort is to be made to render
the State Forest Exhibit, worthy Of the
splendid forest flora which it is to
represent.

TIE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.

TIE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
Last week we published a letter
from Mrs, Armistc..d Jones, of Raleigh,
president of the Confederate Mon
ument Association, to Mrs. VIM. II.
). Brrgnyn asking her cooperation
III the matter of having Vance county
contribute block of granite for the
monument which it is proposed to
erect to the memory of the heroic
dead. We have the native stone at
hand and it is only necessary to raise
sufficient funds to pay for getting it
out in proper shape and the making
of the inscription thereon. This
much OUr people will do we are sure.
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Wilmington Messenger says this on
the subject.
The design of the Confederate
monument IS not yet in hand. 1t will
be something stately in character.
There Will be a corner stone laid by
Raleigh contributions, and each
county viii have a block of granite
bearing its name and the number of
soldiers who were killed or died in
service. The monument will probably
stand in one of the corners of the
Capitol square. In the course OF a
conversation with Mrs. Armistead
Jones, president of the monument
association, that lady stated that she
was in receipt daily of letters which
clearly showed most gratifying and
widespread interest in the monument
plan. Any doubts which any person
way have had as to the feasibility of
the plan are now laid to rest, and
North Carolina will certainly, though
at late day, rear noble monument
to her soldier dead.

TIE Norfolk TUglnian says when
Mr.. Charles +. Peck, of New York,
WAS preparing his recently published
Republican campaign document, he
tailed to observe that the Mckinley
bill, which reduced the tariff tax on
sealskn sacques 50 per cent. and made
diamonds tree, put 4 tax of 100 per
cent. on flannel shirts, III per cent.
on common WOODEN goods, IL, per
cent on common window glass, and
TO per cent. on WOODEN stockings.
Nobody, remarks Tie Alexandria

Mckinley bill has benefited poor

NEGROES Brutality TREATED.

The average darkey thinks If he
could only get up North among those
who profess great friendship for him
forgetting or not desiring to believe
his real friends are the white people Of
the South,) that he would have a
regular picnic. He imagines i,
would be big pay and little work for
him there, but he is mistaken. Ask
those who have been there and know.
The negro is loved for what can be
got out of him and nothing else,
whether it be his vote or his labor that
is wanted by the average Northerner.
Here is an illustration, and had it
occurred in the South it would be
heraldcd and denounced as great
outrage upon the negroes. 1t is an
outrage but the fact that it was perpe-
trated in the North instead of in the
Southern States, lessons the degree of
oftense in the estimation of the froth
mouthed howlers of the Sheperd ilk.
A dispatch says:
Philadelphia, Sept. ga special
from Wilkesbarre, Pa, says: \ riot
occurred this morning on the Wilkes
barre and Eastern railway, now in
course of construction. One of the
contractors employs $50 negroes,
whom he brought from Virginia. The
negroes declared they were brutallv
treated, and several times they re-
belled, only to be beaten into subiec-
ton by the white bosses, armed with
revolvers and steel knuckles. The
negroes were watched day and night,
50 they could not escape, bat this
morning twenty negroes gathered
together and fought the white bosses
with clubs and stones and escaped
from the camp. Two of the negroes
were shot. One is seriously wounded.
