Salary Increased.

Some of the papers last week pub
lished a list of towns in North Caro-
lima where an increase has been made
in the salary of the postmaster. We
were somewhat disappointed when
we failed to find Henderson in said
list. We felt that it belonged there
and so it did. By some inadvertence
Henderson was omitted when the
item was given out for publication.
official information has since been
received by Postmaster Jones from
the Postoffice Department informing
him that an increase of 500 a year
has been made in his salary. This
increase is based upon the amount OF
business done and Postmaster Jones
feels confident that by another year
the Henderson Office will be advanced
to the second-class and a still further
increase made in the salary.

Piano Recital of Miss Averett's Music
Class.

The pianoforte recital given last
night by Miss Emma Averett's music
class was every way ereditable to the
performers and showed skill and pro-
ficiency on their part, due to the
thorough and careful instruction re-
ceived The audience was small, due
no doubt to the fact that this enter
tainment followed SO close upon the
one of the night before given under
the auspices OF Miss Averett, although
dissimilar in character.

ENJOYABLE ENTERTAINMENT.
"The Generals Daughter-A Story of
America aud Spain, las Given by
Home Talent Under the Direction of
Miss Emma Averett Tuesday Night.

One OF the most enjoyable enter
tainments given by home talent was
the presentation of 1.-THE Generals
Daughter-a Story of America and
Spain" at Cooper Opera House Tues
day evening. And it was as success
full from a financial point of view as
it was artistic and enjoyable.
They were greeted by a packed
house, the receipts even at the low
price charged amounting to about
S72.OO. 1t was unanimously voted
success, all the parts being well
taken. The singing and acting were
especially fine for amateurs-and
such youthful players. The spectac-
ular effect-the most important ele-
mept in such affairs-was brilliant.
1t would be difficult to do Justice to
the girls and boys who took part in
the performance. Where all did so
well we should not particularize. We
must content Ourself therefore with
merely giving the program showing
those who took part, with the added
remark that those who did not wit
ness the entertainment missed an en-
ioyable treat. The program was as
follows:
General Hunter. Harry Bum
lara, the Stolen Heiress. Annie Hoover
Carmen-The Gypsy Queen. Maize Whitfield
Eula Gregory
Vendors of laces and jewels, Louise Roys-

NONREFlllABlE BOTTLE.

Buffalo Firemans Invention May
Revolutionize an Industry.
Joseph j. Brownsey, a Buffalo fire.
man, believes lie has hit upon scheme
which will revolutionize the manufac-
ture of bottles for the sale Of whisky,
wine and other spirits, says the Buffalo
Express. 1t Is a we'll known fact that
inventors for years have been at work
on a bottle that could lot be filed
after its original contents had been
used. Such an invention, IL success
full, would be worth untold sums to the
inventor, and 1t is not beyond his hope
that the government would insist on
the use of the continuance. Up to the
present time, however, Yankee ingenui-
ty has fallen short Of suggesting an
idea effective enough to warrant much
approval, private or official.
Brownsey, however, thinks he has
solved the problem. A glass tube Is
placed in the neck Of an ordinary mar
row necked whisky flask or wine bot
tie. Inside the neck, where It joins
the body of the bottle, a washer is
fixed so it closes the space between
the lower end Of the tube and the sides
of the neck. In that way the whisky
or spirits are forced to flow through the
tube and issue from the mouth In
narrow stream. Below the tube and
in the body of the flask is loose glass
ball of a size to fit the tube so closely
as to allow no liquid to pass. When
the liquid has been poured from the
flask, the ball enters the tube and stays
there, held by tile pressure Of air from
the interior Of the bottle. The glass
ball is intended to fit the tube so close
ly as to prevent any other liquid being
poured back into 1t.
If Brownsey's Invention should prove
a practical as well as theoretical sue
cess, Its general use would, 1t Is said,
prevent the reflling Of bottles original
ly containing standard spirits with
spirits Of lower grade, by which
means INSCRIPTIONS dealers are said
to derive large profit.
