week:
The Peruchi- B.ldeni Company began a
weeks engagement at tie Opera House
by the presentation last night OF 1.-The
Hour OF Nine, a play that deals with
the stirring times of the Boxer uprising
in China. The Introduction of many
things pertaining to the Chinese and
Chinese customs add much interest to the
production and give one q good idea of
the situation as relating to the Chinese,
foreigners, and the native Christians. In
the progress of the story there are scenes
and Incidents full of dramatic interest
while the costumes and stage settings
are made entirely appropriate. Taken
altogether, "The Hour Of Nine' is a
meritorious production and was highly
creditable TO the company. both indi-

audience present was thoroughly appre-
ciativP, and their unanimous verdict in
favor of the play promises for the

The good people of the State are

THANKSGIVING especially their hearts
filled with gratitude have impelled
them to reach out their hands to aid
those who without their help would
be helpless indeed. They have then
given SO largely of their time. efforts

much for which to be profoundly
grateful. Let us express and record
our thankfulness by generous aid to

CHURCH DEBT RAISED.
A GLORIOUS Day In the History of the
Henderson Baptist Church.

Sunday was n glorious day in the
history OF the Henderson Baptist
church.
Since the purchase OF a parsonage
Dullding some years ago our Baptist
brethren have been involved in debt
They owed IL balance of 81, 100 and
this has been worrying them a great
zeal. No one was more anxious to
see this debt wiped out than DR.. Hui
ham, although he has resigned the
pastOrate. He wanted his successor
to have smooth sailing as far as this
thing was concerned. The congrega-
ton free from debt it would not only
be easier for the new pastor but bet
ter for the people. Dr. Hufham de-
termlned to raise the debt. Last
week he went about it and Sunday
saw It's contamination. The first
subscription was $50. Then another
for like amount. This was followed
by the announcement of Il cOntribu-
ton of 500. Several $50 subscrip-
lions followed, and then came a num-
Der for S25, So and SO. and 81.
and so on down. Something over
the required amount was pledged and
II larger sum had been wanted it
would have been forthcoming.
DIR. Hufham said the thing could be
done, and it was dOne-easily. The
people seemed to esteem it not only
a privilege but Il pleasure to give
once they had fallen in with the idea
DR.. Hufham said it was one of the
happiest occasions of his life. And
he looked it. The congregation were
happy and outsiders felt that it was
good to be there.

About Finding Lost Articles.

The money (S2SO) advertised last
week as having been lost by J. L.
Spencer, has been located. Chief
Malone has located the place where
it was lost and the party who found
it has been spotted. If the money is
returned the s;25 reward will be paid
the finder If not the person who has
it may get himself into trouble and
get no reward either
Some people have an idea that
when they find thing that has been
lost it belongs to them. But that is
a mistake. The finding OF a thing
does not cOnstitutite ownership
either under the law or the moral
code. Might as well break into a
mans house and steal his goods or
money as to find an article that has
been lost and refuse to restore it to
its rightful owner. 1t is theft in
either instance and is so punishable
by both God and man.

Railroad Wreck.

A wreck occurred on the Seaboard
Air Line inside the yards here about
$3.50 o'clock Monday morning. En-
gineer Urquhart, the night hostler,
was on siding at the North end of
yard shifting some cars. An extra
freight with Engineer Dyer in the cab,
ran into him and smashed up things
considerably. When the head ight
of the incoming train flashed upon
him Just just before the collision En-
gineer Urquhart and his fireman
jumped, thus saving themselves. His
engine was completely wrecked and a
box car in front was broken to
pieces. Engineer Dyer held his posi-
ton and tried to avert the accident
as soon as he saw that he had gone
in on the siding, but too late. The
front part Of his engine was damaged
and the pilot knocked off, hut it was
able to carry the train on to Raj
eigh.

SHOULD WRITE HISTORY.
This Is What Col. Creecy Thinks DR..
Hufllam Should do.
Elizabeth City Economist


1t is stated that DR.. J. d. Hufham.
of the Baptist ministry OF Henderson,
y. c.. has retired from the active
work of the Christian ministry in con-
sequence of age and infirnlity His
numerous friends throughout North
Carolina and elsewhere will regret to
see the announcement, for he is uni
versally beloved for his large hearted
ness and his large cathOlicity ofspirit
and no man is so Justly entitled to a
respite from labor and earthly rest
that so properly precede the eternal
rest that awaits the blessed.
The period of DR.. Hufham's active
physical labor has probably passed,
but the mental has naturally greater
longevity than the physical life of
man, and DR.. Hufham is an illustra-
ton of it. His intellectual faculties
are as bright as they ever were and
his mental resources are greater and
growing greater as time moves on.
The State has no better, more re-
sOurceful or more conscientious writer
and it would add to the happiness of
his old age to employ it in making
a historical record of those events in
our history that are perhaps better
known to him than any living Caro-
linian. 1t would prolong his useful
life to happy, serene and comtem-
plative old age to a close full OF rem
iniscence of ''those smiling angel
faces, he has loved, long since and
lost awhile.'
We, as one of his old and devoted
friends, cannot consent for him to
fold his arms in apathetic Indifference
to the surging tide OF events in which
for so many long years he has borne
SO brave and hOnOred a part.

A Great Hawk Catcher,

hawk catcher. He caught in one
season 3G hawks and 6 big owls in
one trap. Some weeks ago he in
formed Us that he had not quite ex-
terminated the breed out his way and
that since the first of August he had
caught 6 hawks. We dare say the

more heavily on the public treasury
for this object than any other man
in six counties.

POOR TOWN, POOR PEOPLE.
The One True Index of the Other.
Americas (Ga) Herald.

Americas (Ga) Herald
1t affords some people a great
pleasure to beat the newspapers
Everybody wants something from
the paper, but few are willing to give
anything in return. If the editor
wants pay for his hard work kick
comes. People are always ready to
take the newspaper mans money,
but never in a humor to pay the
newspaper man any money; when
paid it is done in a way to make him
feel like he had Just robbed a hen
roost. We heard man say not long
ago that he had read an Americas
newspaper three years and had not
paid "A cent Oh it. He actually bragg
ged about it. We would not trust
such creature us far as you could
throw a bull by the tail 1t would be
difficult to point out an instance
where a town has grown into impor-
tance that its growth can not be at
tributed to the work of the newspa-
per. The newspaper, above all else
III a town, should receive the hearty
support OF the town people. AS a
rule if town has a poor paper it is
because the people and business men
do not give it the support it should
have. To speak lightly ofyour home
paper is one of the most unworthy
acts that one can be guilty of, for
when you do SO you condemn your
sell, because it is an evidence that
you do not give it your support.
Would you have a newspaper that
you can be proud of? Then give it
your support. You are often urged
to speak we'll of your town and sing
it's praises, wherever you go; far
better thing to do is to stand behind
your newspapers and they will do the
rest.

Hint to Business Men.

Says an exchange: 1t is a fact that
cannot be denied that nearly all the
men who have made immense for
tunes out of their business have been
heavy advertisers Many of them
have spent millions in advertising,
and it is a well-knOwn fact that mer-
chants and manufacturers these days
annually put aside Il large proper
ton of their earnings for this pur-
pose. To say that judicious adver-
Using does not pay is to combat the
views of men of broad means, who
trace large part OF their success to
this source.
