Educational Power of the Press.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
The tendency Of the press of the
day, excepting a few sensational
newspapers of the larger cities of the
country, is to educate the people
against fondness for the sensational
The tone of the press is more refined
than it was few years back. The
daily papers, especially those in this
part OF the country. have ceased to
try to gain popularity by pandering
to an abnormal craving for sensation
al news. Murders, suicides and other
horrible crimes are now published
with as little detail as possible. All
the horrible circumstances surround
ing these crimes are cut out and the
papers content themselves with the
bare recital of the facts.
The newspapers are educators in
this respect, as they are in many
others, and while we believe they
have accomplished much good along
this line, there is still much for them
to do. The public masses still crave
for the sensational, for that which is
gruesome and horrible.

Dogs That Catch Tobacco Worms.

Chatham county boasts of dog
that worms tobacco. Vance has a
number of CANNES that do the same
thing. Mr.. Joe Basket has two and
they catch the worms without inlur-
ing the tobacco plants in the least.
Mr.. ]. B. Glover has Il dog that is
equal to an ordinary field hand or
an old turkey gobbler as a tobacco
worm catcher but as he eats the
worms and has to be kept tied his
services cannot be utilized as they
might be otherwise. Tobacco worms
are not a good diet for dogs and they
do not thrive on it. Mr.. Basket S
dogs catch the worms for the love OF
the thing and after catching one they
kill it and 60 after another. Some
times they will pass by one, scent it,
turn around go back and find it.

Ones Value tOa Town.

Asheville Citizen.
Your value to the town in which
you live must be measured by the
work you do. If you have nothing
but criticisms and unkind r.marks to
make of the town and Poop e therein
or if you never patronize home in
dustries but spend your money in
other towns, you may depend upon
it the good you will do for those
around you will amount to very little
and you ought to 60 forthwith to
some place that you can work for and

WOMEN AND JEWELS.

Jewels. candy. flowers, man-that is the

average woman. Even that greatest OF all
Jewels, health, is often ruined in the stren-

purchase them. If woman will risk her
health to get a coveted gem, then let her
fortify herself against the insiduous conse,

The Educational Spirit in Granville
and Vance.

Editor j. w. Bailey in last weeks
Biblical Recorder writes about his
recent visit to Granville and Vance
counties where he spoke along with
others, in the interest of education.
We make an extract:
1--WE recently visited Dabney, in
Vance county, and KNAPP OF Reeds,
Creedmore and Stovall in Granville,
in the interest of public education.
There is just one feature of our trip
that demands more than ordinary
notice-the enthusiasm of the peo-
pie.
"A number of visits to Granville
had won for the people of that county
the highest place in our esteem. We
found in the brief stay at Dabney
that the Vance people are of the same
fiber. At Dabney Professor Butler
had charge. So far are the people
there from commercialism that they
have converted store into a school
house. There were speeches by
Messrs. Butler. Harris, Pittman, Hui
ham and the writer. The interest was
strong"
Prof. Alderman was one of the
speakers at KNAPP of Reeds. In con-
Guiding his account Editor Bailey
says:
owe enjoyed the entire trip and
came home with new hope for North
Carolina. The company of Professor
Alderman was especially pleasant. In
him our Commonwealth has an edu-
Gator of strong parts and citizen of
the nobler order.
ut was good to find the people SO
hopeful, SO happy. and SO bent upon
better things. Would that their spirit
may spread throughout the State.'
There are always bargains to be
found at H. THOMASON'S and those
that fail to call are the losers there
by.

JOHN ROBINSON'S SHOW.
The Amusement 0olconda of the
Period

More than seventy years of contin-
nous ovation has characterized the
career of the John Robinson Show,
which this season is reaching the
proud elimination of its triumphs.
No other show in existence can dis
play so continuous and so clear q
record. From the cold waters of
the Kennebec to the shores of the
Pacific, from the Northern boundaries
OF civilization to the Southern limits
OF this continent. for more than one
Robinson been household word, and
the coming of that that bears his
hame is ever greeted with hearty
welcome. This season it psesents
such an opulence of sterling and
meritorious attractions as to en-
title it to be designated as a vast
Amusement Golconda whose won
drous wealth OF entertainment is I'M
limited and immeasureable. The
circus has always been the best and
biggest, always in the van. always
prolific in leading and sensational
features, and always fully equipped
with the finest stud of horses and the
most skillful and finished bareback
riders, gymnasts and acrobats in the
profession; that has large, we'll or
dered and we'll selected menagerie
containing living, vigorous specimens
of all that is strange, rare and curl
Gus within the range of natural his
tory and that his royal Roman Hip
podrome is vivid and realistic re-
production Of that of the days of the
imperial Cesar. In addition to these
attractions the grand, Biblical, his
torical spectacle of Solomon, His
Temple, and the Queen of Sheba," is
thus alluded to: An impressive and
eminently moral and mind elevating,
pageantic and scenic production, with
magnificent scenery, gorgeous cos
tunes, calcium effects and 100 hand
some ballet girls. The Robinson Show
will exhibit at Henderson, Monday,

HUMAN HEARTS,"
A Good Play Well Presented nonday
Night

The plays the thing" So wrote
Shakespeare. and so thought those
who witnessed the presentation of
Human Hearts, at Cooper Opera
House Monday night.
When Manager Aronson announced
this as the opening sttraction of the
season much was expected of it. And
judged by the manifestations of ap-
proval on the part OF the large and
cultivated audience and the words of
praise and satisfaction expressed
after the performance was over ex-
pectations were fully realized.
Human Hearts, is we'll named. 1t
is play that appeals to the human
heart stirring it to such depths that
tears cannot be restrained and strong
natures find relief only in sobs. There
is much OF pathos running through
the entire play with just enough
comedy to relieve the situation and
add zest to the interest of the per-
Torrance. 1t is play with a good
moral and one feels better for having
seen it.
The cast was good one, the COM
pany strong and we'll balanced. each
actor being peculiarly suited to his
or her respective part. Mr.. E. p.
Sullivan. as tom Logan" played
his role with strength and clever
ness denoting the true actor. while
Mr.. Edwin B. Bailey was the ideal
villain as "Frederick Armsdale" Mr..
Bert Hart as "Jem Mason" the tramp,
is fine comedian and kept the aud
fence in constant uproar Of laughter
by his mirth-provoking eccentricities.
MIR. AL Helton was a typical darkey
as "Moses JONES'" the faithful family
servant and steadfast friend, and the
part OF simple, good natured, Jimmy
Logan" was played to perfection by
Mr.. Sidney Lee. Miss Nellie Helton
was perfect in her delineation Of the
character of the honest, true heart
ed newsboy-bootblack, as "Limpy
Morgan" as was Mrs. Bert Hart that
of 'Samantha Logan" while Miss
Ida lockwood we'll sustained the
character Of Ruth Larkins." Master
Percy Helton won the hearts and
plaudits of the audience as Little
Grace Logan" He is bright little
fellow and played his part well for
one o: his years. Mrs. Edwin b.
Bailey was faultless in her portrayal
Of the role Of "Jeanette Logan" as the
faithless wife, and so we'll did she
and MIR. Bailey act the difficult parts
assigned them that they received only
Kisses while the others won applause.
Nor could higher tribute be paid to
their histrionic talents and ability.
The GOLD LEAF repeats that "Hu-
man Hearts" is a goodplay well pre-
scented and if Mr.. Vaudeville will send
the same company this way again
next season they will be greeted by a
full house.
Manager Aronson deserves the
thanks of Henderson theatre-patrons
for the rare treat afforded them in so
good play presented by so capable
d company of ladies and gentlemen
as we found them.
