DELIGHTFULLY."- ENTERTAINED.
Were Those Who Heard Polk Miller
Monday Might.

The largest audience tina: has recently
assembled liz Burwell Hall on the oc-
casion of any entertainment to which
an admission fee was charged, was that
which greeted Polk Miller Monday
night. The house was we'll nigh filled.
1t was an intelligent and appreciative
audience withal, and never have we
seen people better pleased. Several
persons from the country were pres
ent, Notwithstanding the fact that
the weather was somewhat rainy and
threatening, unfavorable to night
driving.
Capt. W. B. Shaw introduced Mr..
Miller in most happy and appropriate
style. He paid a glowing tribute to
the great Carolinian to the honor Of
whose memory in sense the people
were there assembled, and at the name
of Zebulon B. Vance there was spon-
taneous outburst of applause. Capt.
Shaw said it was eminently fitting that
the women of North Carolina were i'll
teresting and exerting themselves in
the cause of erecting suitable memo
rial to the great Tribune of the people,
and it seemed to him that it was in
keeping with the eternal fitness of
things that they should adopt the
course they have. He spoke with fer
vor of the life and labors of the beloved
Vance, Of his great warm heart and
the love he cherished for the his people
and referred briefly to his patriotic
character and personal sacrifices both
in time of war and time of peace.
Mr.. Miller was at his best. He ex-
planned the nature of his entertainment
and with master hand drew a faith
full picture of "Old Times Down South"
delineating the old plantation negro as
he alone can do. 1t is impossible to
give correct idea of Mr.. Miller's in
imitable style. If he should be reported
verbatina the reader would fail to catch
the true meaning and inspiration of his
language. He must be heard to be ap-
preciated-seep to be enjoyed. Cold
type cannot put the sparkle and humor
in his jokes as ne tells them or convey
the tender pathos of his stories as re-
lated by him.
It is difficult to determine what fea-
ture Of Mr.. Miller's entertainment is
the best, his description Of old times in
the South with the eyer faithful ''Uncle
Ned'' or "Black Nanny as central
figure, his negro dialect stories or his
plantation melodies and banjo playing.
They are all good and take them in
their entirety it is as rich bill of en-
tainment as could we'll be provided by
one man. Mr.. Miller tells a story
with rare zest. He had several new
ones which were greatly enjoyed. His
singing and banjo music captivated his
hearers. He has sympathetic voice,
rich and melodious and, whether i'll
song or speech it is equally effective:
For nearly two hours Mr.. Miller
charmed and delighted his auditors.
Everybody was pleased and full of
praise for the gentle humorist. genial
entertainer and distinguished Virgin
ian gentleman.
Much credit is due the ladies of Hen
derson-Mrs. E. G.. Davis, Mrs. M.
Parham and others-for the successful
issue of the Polk Miller benefit for the
Vance Memorial fund.

Indigestion is often taken for consnmp-
ton. The word consumption means vast
ing away, and dyspeptics often waste away
as badly as consumptlves.
The reason people waste away is because
either they don't get enough to eat or they
dont't digest what they do eat.
If the latter is your trouble take Shaker
Digestive Cordial. This will help you to
digest your food and stop your loss Of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from
herbs, banks and the juices of fruits, by the
well-known Shakers at Mount Lebanon. 1t
possesses great tonic and digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many
supposed consumptives (who were really
dyspeptics), by simply helping their stom-
achs to digest their food, thus giving them
nourishment and new strength.
Sold by druggists. Trial bottles 10 cents.
