Evangelist Lee, who for the past
three years has been holding revival
meetings in all large cities and towns
in this State, and is producing a sem
sation wherever he goes on account of
his bold attack against sin in all of its
forms, struck Raleigh recently, and in
paying his compliments to the newspa-
pers, said: "If the Democratic newspa-
pers of Raleigh, and also in the State
at large, would devote more Of their
space in attacking sin in its various
forms, and not so much against the
present State officers, the people would
have great deal more respect for
them; "for," said he, 81 have been
thrown in company with these gentle
men, and have also inquired into their
standing as to morals, ability and up
rightness, and find them to be the
cieanest set of State officers that we

Although Mr.. Theodore Hamilton
has for many years been acknowledged
as one Of the leading actors of this
country, he has never appeared in a
part which has gained him so much
fame and favor as that of "Puddin"
head, in the dramatizatiOn of Mark
Twain's great story, "Puddin head
Wilson," The play is booked for an
early appearance in this city, and
strong supporting cast Is promised.
Mr.. Hamilton is probably as we'll
known in the South as any prominent
actor of the present day. His early
triumphs in the histronic art were
achieved in Washington, where he was
born. He was the bOyhOod friend of
Edwin Booth, John Sleeper Clarke,
Maggie Mitchell and John f. Owens.
During the late war Mr.. Hamilton
served throughout the entire struggle
as a Confederate soldier. In later years
he has appeared with the leading ce-
lebraties of the stage. His Macbeth to
Charlotte Cushman's Lady Macbeth is
one of the historic portrayals OF the
role.
