COMMUNICATED.
he Citizens of Southern Pines:

To the Citizens of Southern Pines:
Mr. EDIToR:-A the time is near
at hand for the election of town offic-
ers and realizing as l do, that for the
past two years the town has been di-
vided into factions, fighting directly
against each other in every possible
way; as we know that if this condi-
ton of affairs continues we cannot ex-
pect to build up or advance the inter
ests of our town-but on the other
hand we will gradually lose our foot
ing and meet the fate OF many other
small towns, which have made the
same sad mistake. We have town
of which we are all proud to claim as
our home, a town which if properly
handled, has a very bright future.
Now as we have so much to hope for
let us not deceive ourselves and others
by dividing and fighting, but let us
all put our heads together and our
shoulders to the wheel-lay aside all
prejudice and work together for one
object, the advancement and develop
ment of our town.
If we only stop to think we know
that what is for the interest OF the
town is for the interest of all and
knowing that in union there is
strength and by working together we
can accomplish great deal, it is our
duty to our town and to our fellow
men to work together. Now let us
call a meeting of all the citizens and
have them all present and leave poll
tics out-no slate, and in a friendly
way talk the matter over, select the
best men for the several offices, men
that we can elect, and after they have
been elected give them our support
and help them to push forward the
interests OF the town. 1t is the duty
of every citizen to take interest in
the election and try to get the best
men for the place-men who can do
the best work in that particular line.

They are comfortably located

A Brilliant Affair.

The Amphions scored another social
as we'll as financial success Wednesday
August 10, the occasion being their
Tenth Annual Outing to Motley Hall.
The success of all their entertainments
is phenominal In that they establish q
high plane of excellence. On the occa
sion IN question the attendance was
like large family gathering. Every.
one knew each other, and there was
not the slightest suspicion OF disorder.
1t was really quite refreshing 10 be fn
such gathering. On the last trip
home, the Ampbions rendered some of
their vooal gems which have made
them famous, aad the eptire party
reached home before midnight.
J. Henry Lewis, the manager. has
been requested to repeat the affair be-
fore the season ends, aud it is likely
that the Amphions will arrange for enc
trip by moonlight ninety miles down
the river and return about the second
Saturday evening in September.

Lawyer Lewis of Baltimore, who so
his mother in the courts of that city,
last week delivered one of the most elo-
quent charges to jury ever heard at

was forgery. He was acquitted. The

SUBDUING A WILD HORSE.

Thrilling Incident OF the Plains,

The main reason why Hamlin Gar

OF men and things in the far West, are
accepted az authentic is that he has
been through 1t all. Ia The Eagles
Heart, which is now appearing In The
Saturday Evening Post, he gives the
following account of how a horse was
subdued:
Nose refused 70 allow his shining,
proud-neeked stallion to be roped and
thrown, and asked the boys to aelu
drive him into a strong corral, togeth-
ar with five or six other horses. This
was done, and stripping himself as for

following the excited animals. Hour

walk, till the other horses were weary.

eyes, till he walked with a wondering
backward glance. as if to ask: two

the end of the fourth hour he allowed
Nose to lay his hand on his nose, and
Nose petted him and went to dinner.

with dust. At last, when all the other
horses had been turned loose, Kintuck

his eyes, again allowed Nose to Law his

attached to a dray in front OF A. j.

frightened by box which fell from a

of the horses. He was dragged 10 or

The safety gate at Water and Market

A farmhouse near Valley Forge,
which is still pointed out as the head

Knox, is one of the visible expressions
of his career in this section of the
country. Before the army went into

DELAWARE ORPHAN HOME.
Formal Opening and Interesting Exc

Formal Opening and Interesting Exer-
cises-Objects of the Institution.
The Delaware Orphan Home and In
dustrial School for Colored Boys. No.
1923 Walnut street, was formally opened
Thursday afternoon and evening. The
exercises were held in the evening and
were presided over by W. @. Ellis,
president of the institution. Addresses
were made by the Revs. b. T. Moore,
X. S. Accou and DIR. Brooks OF Bethel
A. NJ. E. Church. A feature of the
exercises was the part taken by the
boys in the home. The, sang excel
lently under the direction of Mrs. Ellis,
their principal instructor, and went
through various lessons in caiisthenics
and rapid calculation, which was illus
trated by uplifted fingers During the
day many visitors called at the home
and were shown the progress made
since it was founded in April, 1899. In
the afternoon, under the direction of
Mrs. Ellis the boys sang many selections
in manner that was surprising for
children SO young. They read and re-
cite, too. in q commendable way that
serves to show the wonderful progress
being made 10 the institution, the only
one Of its Kind in Delaware.
The home was founded by Mr.. and
Mrs. Ellis, colored persons who stand
at the forefront of every charitable
enterprise for the uplifting OF their
race in Wilmington. They studied the
field and were convinced of the neces
sity for a home that would shelter and
educate orphaned and destitute oolored
boys. The result was that in April,
1899, the home was founded at the
hodse of Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis, No. 1923
Walnut street. They opened their domi-
cile and took in two boys OF tender
years, who were not blessed with the
comforts Of the world. The institution
continued to grow. Several other colored
residents became interested in the
enterprise and the home was incor
porated recently. Now there are six
inmates living under the roof OF Mr..
and Mrs. Ellis we'll cared for and with
the comforts of a cheerful home. The
youngest 5. Two of the children are
had fallen into the custody of the
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Children. Assisting Mrs. Ellis il
caring for the Toys is Mrs. Alice NJ.
Griffin. They have taught five of tn,
six children to read, recite and to sinl
sweetly. The other boy can sing ant
recite proficiently and is making gooc
progress toward reading. The course
prescribed for the boys is that of tn
public schools. Mrs. Ellis was formerl,
a school teacher. On Sunday the les
sons of the day as given In Sunday
schools are taught the boys. AS the,
grow older it is the intention to prorid
, | manual training collrse When tina
! time comes the persons interested il
the home hope to have enough none
q to erect suitable building.
