be presented by Alden Benedict's
capable company at the Opera House

Necessarily many of the strongest
portions of the book had to be slighted

Of seven hundred pages cannot be
crowded into stage performance OF
two and half hours. To the lasting
credit of Mr.. Chase, however, be it
said that in his six act version he has
not lost sight for single instant Of
the religious sentiment. Always con-
spicuous in the book it is pre-eminent
in the play, And all lovers of uplft-
ING drama are thankful for this fore
sight. 1t makes "Quo Eadis' play
which nobody can see without being
decidedly the better for it.
The play is Of interest not only to
those who have read Sienkiewicz' 5
wonderful story from which it has
been dramatized, for it has been so
arranged that anybody can follow its
trenH rapderstandingly throughout.
Its seen exNs aTrf stage settingx are

gagements of the season. They de

Outside Capital Interested.
Slowly but surely the list of Hen
derson's industrial enterprises con-
tinues to lengthen.
For some days past we have been
cognizant of the fact that plans were
maturing for a big knitting factory
here. But matters had not assumed
such definite shape as to warrant
speaking with any degree of assur-
ance. Now we are prepared to do so.
however.
At the meeting of the Board OF
County Commissioners Monday the
following petition was laid before
them:
L. L. Strause and associates have
about determined to locate a knitting
mill in the town of Henderson with a
capital stock of $50. 900, more or less.
provided the County Commissioners of
Vance county will exempt from county
taxes for ten years the capital stock.
building, &c. of said knitting mill COM
pany from May 81. 1900"
This petition was endorsed by a
number Of the largest property own
ers and tax PAYERS of the county with
recommendation that it be granted.
The following order was made by
the Board:
"Ordered. that the above petition
praying exemption from county taxes as
requested therein is granted. Provided.
that in case said mill is not located as
therein suggested and the building should
not be used for said knitting MILL as
herein set out. the said building shall be
listed for taxation as heretofore"
That looks like business. and the
GOLD LEAF wants to commend the
liberal spirit shown by the honorable
gentlemen composing the Board of
Commissioners in the broad policy
and purpose to foster and encourage
manufacturing enterprises in our
midst. And this applies also to the
Town Commissioners, they having
previously passed upon this petition
in the same way.
The Strusc leaf tobacco factory, a
large and commodious brick build
ing, is to be used for the purpose.
The charter has been prepared and
the company will be incorporated i'm
mediately. We have it that one gen.
tleman alone takes 500 stock, and
the full amount will be speedily Sc
cured.

This is what may be said of The
American Girl" as presented at
Cooper Opera House by A. @. Scam
mons company last night. OF the
many companies seen here this sea-
son there has not been a better one.
1t was a clean, clear-cut performance
throughout. There was not weak
part nor an inferior actor in it. A
more genteel, well dressed and finer
troupe as whole has not faced a
Henderson audience.
Mr.. George +. Hall, as an American
hustler, was great. Miss Jewell Dar-
rell, as the American girl, was per-
feet in her part, while the entire sup
port was much above the average each
one fitting into his or her character
with strength and naturalness sell
dom equaled.
The two children, little Lille Law
son and Oracle Hickie, were very
sweet and acted their parts like
veterans.
1t is impossible at this late hour to
speak of each individual member and
write as fully of the merits Of the
company as they deserve.
Suffice it to say there has not been
a better one here in long time and
if The American Girl should come
this way again under the chaperone
of Mr.. Hall and his capable company
she will be greeted by full house.
