The Missouri Girl, which will be
presented at the Brooks Theatre is a
decided departure from the usual
style of comedy drama and is marked
by novelty ia construction and re-
markable magniicence in mounting.
The characters are peculiar In the ex-
treme. Nothing like them has ever
been seen in any other play, most OF
which have been copied from life.
Mr.. Raymond. the author, spent the
greater part of one summer studying
character in southwest Missouri and
after selecting some strong types, he
has woven them into a plot that is
surprisingly natural. The character
Of zeke Dobson. the Yankee boy, who
came out west to make his fortune, .
Is acknowledged to be the most
unique and laughable Of any ever seen
in stage production.

rRovsls N TIE COMMITTEE.
The sanitsrium inquiry May BE Used
for Partisan Purposes.

The Joint legislative committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the private
affairs OF the oklahoma sanitarium
company and the management Of the
asvlum for insane persons at Norman
has become involved in strife that
threatens to defeat the purpose for
which It was created. There are few
persons who believe that the only pur-
pose of the committee is to learn
whother the inmates of the asylum
have been cared for in a proper man
ner. One Of its members is quoted as
saving that higher game was TO be
barged If possiblerH i'm other words,
that Republican politicians who were
suspected Of being stockholders in the
sanitarium company we're to be ex-
posed in way that would cripple their
influence in Washington and damage
their standing at home in future poll
tics. This phase of the investigation
has been inspired under cover by fac
tional Republicans who hold TO the
doctrine that "there never yet was a
human power that could evade, IL uu
forgiven. the patient search and vigil
long. OF him who treasures up a
wrong"
The Democratic members of the leg
islature are not unwilling that war
ring Republicans should have unlimit-
ed opportunity for a free-for-all fight.
After the committee has been appoint
ed. ui first question was who should
be its chairman Representative Mer-
rick, the enemy Of Flynn Grimes,
Ferguson. and Jenkins. was anxious
that he should be given the position.
The exact details Of what took place
IN the organization Of the committee
behind closed doors yesterday cannot
be given. as the members were sworn
TO secrecy, but enough has leaked out
70 show that Merrick was thrown
down hard" and the chairmanship
given TO Councilman Hickam. Both
are Republicans, Merrick threatened
TO resign from the committee An at
tempt was made to appease his wrath.
as he isin possession Of atfidavits and
documents which he used at the time
Governor Jenkins was removed froa
Office. and certain members of the
committee were fearful that Merrcl
would withhold his papers If permit
ted to depart in anger Merrick also
insisted that J. c. strang ex-attorney
general, and not kindly disposed 10
Flynn. ct aI. should be retained as
attorney for The committee This
proposition was rejected for reasons
now unknown. Merrick is still work
ing for Strang's employment, and the
other day held a lively but unsatis-
factory interview with President
Alexander in the latter's private Of
fee.
When Merrick left the conference
he seemed 10 be angry. The commit
zee has no authority to incur expens-
es FOR any purpose. and there is doubt
as to the need Of an attorney Whether
Merrick will swallow his indignation
and serve on the committee cannot
ne ascertained at this time He Will
not discuss The matter, saying that
he is bound 70 secrecy. His aequainl-
ances are certain that he would not
permit himself to be ignored while
Others receive the credit that might
arise from the use OF his thunder

DIsFIGURED A WOMAN's FACE.
Canal Through Thunder Swamp not Wanted.
Atlantic to be Open Until October
Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Goldsboro, n. c., Aug. At is stated
here on good authority that the Atlantic
Hotel at Morehead City will be kept
open this year until the first of October
1t is understood that the decision to keep
the hotel open until October LIST was made
because of several requests from promi-
nent guests who desire to finish out the
warm season at such a comfortable and
pleasant summer home.
In the mayors court this
morning there came up case in which
the defendant was bound over
to the Superior Court for disfiguring the
face of a negro woman. Emmett Brown
is the name of the defendant and Jennie
Bryan is the victim. The two quarrelled
and Brown beat her with a brick.
The Legislature passed law providing
for the digging of canal through Thun-
der Swamp, which lies in the Southern
part of the county next to the Duplin
county line, and levying a tax of not
more than SO an acre on the lands of peo-
pie which were drained by the canal to
defray the expense of building the canal
The commissioners of Wayne county
have repealed the law by deciding not to
collect the tax. 1t seems that there has
been change of sentiment in the COM
munity since the petition asking for the
law was presented to --e Legislature.
The Atlantic and North Carolina Rail-
road will discontinue the extra trains to
Morehead city on Sunday. Some time
ago train was put on to leave this city
at o'clock in the morning and leave
Morehead at $50 at night on the return
trip. This is the train to be taken off
The train leaving here at O'Clock in the
morning and leaving Morehead at 4:50 in
the afternoon will be run as usual and
the Sunday excursion rates will be in
vogue as heretofore.

SIDE TRACKAGE CASE
No Right to Require Railroads
to List This Property.
G uiIford County Commissioners Say This is
Under the jurisdiction Of The Cor
poration Commission.
Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Observer.)
Greensboro, n. c., Aug. 4.-The Board
of County Commissioners heard argument
this morning from Col. H. w. Miller,
Assistant to Vice-President Andrews, of
the Southern Railway, and Mr.. r. r.
King, attorney for the railway,
on a motion to strike out from the Gull
ford county tax list the assessment of $780,
600 against the company for its side track
age in the county.
Mr.. Miller stated that every mile of this
side trackage had been returned to the
Corporation Commission, and was no
doubt considered by that body in max
ing up its estimate of valuation of the
entire system. He stated that Alamance
and Guilford were the only counties hav
ing imposed this special tax, and that the
Corporation Commission in advising it,
had gone beyond its powers and had done
so without consultation with the Attorney
General, the States legal adviser.
In his argument on the recent revenue
act, Mr.. King read Section SO and other
sections to show that it was never intended
that side tracks should be listed, except
before the Corporation Com
mission. That every mile of this trackage
had been listed before the Corporation
Commission, and that it was necessarily a
part of the regular railroad equipment,
and was so considered in making up the
valuation in the State.
He then made an argument on a motion
to strike out the assessment against Judge
Boyd for income as an officer He cited
the fact that the Corporation Commission
had advised the placing of his salary on
the tax list, as well as that of Judge Doug
las, although the Supreme Court of North
Carolina had unanimously sustained an
opinion by the Attorney General that
these judges salaries should not be taxed.
Arguing from this, Mr. King said that
the advice of the Corporation Commits
sion in the face of such decisions, if not
amounting to INSTRUMENTATION, certainly
was not entitled to be blindly followed
and I'm the case of taxation of side tracks
of railroads had not been followed any
where in North Carolina except in Gull
ford and Alamance counties.
The county commissioners decided they
had no right to require railroads to list
side tracks for taxation, that being under
the jurisdiction of the Corporation Com
mission. Decision was reserved in the
other case.
