doubtless one OF the best productions Of
its type that will appeal for local patron
age during the present theatrical year.
Mr.. SINNERS Otto Is splendidly con-
ceived portrayal. He Is vivacous and
spirited in his lighter scenes, ardent and
| tender in his love making and virile when
called upon to exhibit that quality. His
work has marked distinction. and the
How of his Gayety is quite free and spon-
taneous. In the third act. in the council
chamber scene and one OF the best cpl
sodes of the entire play Mr.. SINNERS act
ing is particularly effective and last night
evoked great outburst OF Enthusiastically
real applause-not the sort of praise that
comes from the suspicious rear portion OF
the theater where congregate the ushers
and other employees, but from all over the
theater, and in volume that left no doubt
as to its genuineness and sincerity.
Throughout the whole production there was
never any doubt regarding Mr.. SINNERS
unusual personal triumph.
The supporting company is In every way
satisfactory. The many friends and ad
mirers of Miss Percy Haswell rendered
her cordial reception All OF her work
is characterized by sweetness and charm
of manner quite her own, and she made
very attractive picture Miss Grace Fill
kins wins much commentator for her
faithful Interpretation OF the designing
Countess. She evidences a keen apprecia
ton of the manner in which the character
of the intriguing woman should BE- played,
and. with the exception of an INCLINATION to
be bit too emphatic at times, her work is
quite fawless. Maude Durbih-the Mrs.
Skinner Of private life-makes q charming
ly simple country girl, a rare bit Of char
acter drawing and wholly admirable.
George Nash is bold and traitorous

Hashim,s Academy of Music-Vaude-
vile.


The good-sized audiences at Hashims
Academy OF Music yesterday afternoon
and evening were well pleased with one
OF the excellent programmes of fashion
able vaudeville for which the Hashim
| house is becoming famous.
Gordon, Vidocq. and Haverly appear in
a little skit, entitled Two Strings to Her
! Beau" which deals with the complica-
lions accruing from the love of two men
| for the same woman. Prof. Herbert's
| dogs proved such an attraction last week
| that they have been retained, and many
new and interesting features have been
| added to the act, one of the most unique
being the entrance of a number of little
| Spanish poodles in a miniature automo-
bile. Dink, the star performer, makes
his famous seventy-ive foot dive from
the proscenium arch. and seems to fully
appreciate the applause he receives.
The Delaur- Debrimont Trio render
lectons from grand opera and prove them
selves vOcalists OF superior order. Their
| voices are clear, powerful, and well ham
died and their numbers are given with
much intelligence. Duffy, Sawtelle and
Duffy give an original comedy which serves
to introduce Master Duffy, one of the clev-
crest juvenile comedians yet seen locally.
He is an exceptionally bright little chap
and without doubt has promising future.
Cooke and Clinton, expert lady rifle shots.
prove themselves real experts with the ri
file and pistol. Position of the body and
the manner OF holding the weapon seem of
no consideration and they perform the I'M
usual feat Of playing Yankee Doodle on

the audience with their Irish character
sketch, and Leroy and LeVanion give an
exhibition on the triple bars. Nelly Burt.

Chase. New Grand-vaudeville.

Chase's New Grand-V0udevtIle.
Manager Chase's bill this week is an
other of those altogether excellent Offer
ings which he has been providing for
some time. Each weeks programme ap-
one wonders how it is possible to secure
another lot OF vaudeville entertainers OF
equal merit, but Mr.. Chase evidently pos
cesses the secret, for each successive New
Grand bill is as good, IL not better, than
its predecessor.
This weeks bill introduces for the first
time in vaudeville here John w. Albaugh,
jr., III remarkably good little play called
Trenton" 1t is the most pretentious
vaudeville sketch that a local audience
has ever seen. Mr.. Albaugh's acting is
clear-cut and finished, and he is ably as
sisted by Beth Franklin. Donald Clark
and Thomas Slater. The play is given an
elaborate scenic setting and is, in many
ways, highly pleasing contribution to
the bill. 1t is such little plays as "Tren-
tom that much of the future and perman-
ent success of vaudeville must depend

On last Sunday morning the
soul of Lillian, the pretty,
sweet little daughter of Capt.
and Mrs. L. A. Bristol, of
Morganton, took it's flight to
the happy beyond. The child
had been in delicate health

typical of the life of the child
the flower was plucked from
earth and transported in
heaven.

held at the home Monday
morning at 100 clock and were
conducted by Rev. r. H. Par

Cotton Mill Competition.

Referring to the rivalry that in some
measure has become manifest between
Northern and Southern cotton mills.
we would counsel those interested on
both sides to look al the matter in a
philosophical light. No narrow jeal-
ousies should be occasioned by the
competition which sooner or later
though, as it now seems. 1t should nat
urally be a good deal later-must be
felt between the sections. No North
ern man should feel that there is any
thing vicious or malignant in the effort
of Southern mill men to expand nj
firmly establish an industry that means
so mush for the South and in which. at
the least consideration, 1t has a natu-
raj right very literally to share.
On the other hand, the Southern mill
owner should be as indulgent toward
his Northern rival. Both are business
men and are acting III whatever they
do from purely business motives into
which there should enter no personal
feeling-that is, in the sense of bitter
ness in the criticism of the measures
taken by a competitor. 1t use to be
said that "all is fair in love and war"
and although latter-day civilization
has modified this maxim to a certain
extent, it nevertheless holds. There is
no mistaking the fact that competitive
is really a warfare that nat
urally takes into consideration as little
as possible the comfort. health or even
the lives of competitors. This may seem
a hard statement, but 1t is literally
true; and those who enter into this
sort of competition must be prepared
to give and take as philosophically
and as good-naturedly as does the
model soldier in the hour of action.
Whether competition is really neces-
sary is an economic question yet a
long way from its solution. That 1t is
painful, and one Ct these things that
human business nature avoids if pos
sible, is attested by h constant at
tempt to quiet competition by combin-
ationS of aforetime competitors into
single corporations. In the meantime
it must be regarded as one of the in
evitable things in a profitable business
and not permitted to sour the tempers
Of those who are otherwise naturally
bound together by many ties of common
interest and blood.-New York Com
mercial.

a VALUABLE OFFICIAE DOCU-
MENT.

The name of Thomas Jefferson is
dear to many a living patriot in our
southland. OF all our statemen i'm the
eminent he believed most in the peo-
pie and stood most faithfully by them.
Recently selections from his writings
nave appeared in several volumes. He
was wise, faithful. patriotic. American,
when so many of the early politicians
favored a strong government, dis
trusted the people. and held in their
nostrils the smell of British onions
and garlic. jefferson never flashed in
his devotion to a free government
a government of the people and for. the
people and by The. people. and forty
years before Abraham Lincoln read
that phrasing in an old New ENGLAND
Reader" and afterwards stole it for
his Gettysburg speech.
We have before us an antique docu-
ment. 1t is am extra issued by the
Washington National IntelEigencer on
November s, 1904. and contains the
message of President Thomas jefferson
81 IIC IOIIShSSS " uIdl year.. II was
delivered to both houses of the con-
gress by Mr.. Burwell. the secretary of
the president. 1t is a short affair as
compared with the awful productions
Of President Mckinley. But then the
country was small. the topics were
limited. there We're no wars or foreign
conquests. Mr.. Jefferson was always
iudicious and wise. and this message
is not different in those particulars
from his other very numerous public
writings. The document before us IS
badly faded with age. as to paper. and
yet the type is large and very readable.
We have been favored with an exam-
nation by MI. r. M. Middleton. a very
worthy citizen Of the old county OF
Duplin. He treasures the Precious
relic of the past rs it richly deserves.
1t is an heirloom to be handed or
