ADJUSTMENTS.

| At the Clunie Opera-house this even
| ing Frohman's fine comedy company in
Brisson's latest and greatest success
"On and Off," It had a long winters
run in New York and still holds the
boards there. 1t has won favor and
success in all the Western cities and
on this coast. It bubbles over with fun
but is not marred by horse play It
is a farce comedy, we are told, but has
the humor of refinement and the wit of
decency. At the head of the troupe Mr..
Frohman has placed one of the clever
est and most polished comedians of the
time E. NJ Holland, and as his second
and lieutenant, Fitz Williams, a popular
and rapidly rising low comedian, born
of theatrical family and raised, so to
speak, upon the stage. The company is
represented to be strong throughout,
and the play to be the best low comedy
Mr. Frohman has ever mounted. 1t
is something to have Frohman's in
dorsement behind theatrical promise,
because he can scarce afford to send US
weak things. There is too much in it
for him at stake. We may therefore
reasonably trust to his declaration that
the present low comedy "On and Off,"
is the best he has ever sent upon the
road.

has caused the rain deity to dispense
the clouds and send the downpour
where Caledonian picnics are unknown
so that a fine day is looked for. The
attractive features of former picnics
will all be present, besides some new
ones. Professor Mcmillan, the modern
Samson. will give exhibitions of his
powers by bending steel crowbars into
various forms and making an arch Of
his body that will support ton 5

A large delegation of the San Fran
cisco club will arrive tonight, and be
escorted by the local club to the State
House, where they will partake of a
banquet. The Stockton and Truckee
clubs will also send delegations to the

ANOTHER TWENTY YEAR TERM

Mr.. NJ. O. Sheriff., State Librarian,
calls our attention to the fact that in
the list of Congressman who had served
twenty years the name of Henry W..
Connor. who lived on the Catawba river
near Sherrills Ford did not APP
pear. lie represented his district
from 1921 to 1871 and then
Voluntarily retired. He Was graduate
Of the University of South Carolina,
served as major and aide to Major Gra-
ham On the Greek war. He married a
daughter of Governor Hawkins, and was
man Of means and influence. He was
a Chesterfield in manners and the most
popular men in his section of the State.
In 1913, after he had retired from Com
gress it was discovered just the day be
fore the election that Samuel Lauder
tafterward member of the Confederate
Congress) the Democratic candidate for
the Senate Was ineligible. The party
leaders were at their wits end, and
were saved from defeat only when Major
Conner gave them permission to use his
name. We dare say that few Of the
younger men of the State know much of
the career Of this strong man who Won
and through all his life held the conf
dence Of the people. We would be glad
if some son of Catawba would prepare a
sketch for publication.
Speaking Of long terms, we stated a
few days ago how remarkable it was
that the two men who had been given
the longest terms from North Carolina
in Congress Nathaniel Macon, a years,
and Matt w. Ransom, % years, were
Eslsives of the same county, Warren.
We emitted TO state what was even
more remarkable. to-wit, that Macon and
Ransom were relatd. Nathaniel Macon
was Gen. Ransom's grand fathers half
brother on his mothers side and he was
first cousin of Gen. Ransom's grand
mother. Macon was, in our mature
judgment, easily the greatest man North
Carolina has produced, and the State
ought to have marble statue of him in
Washington
