HIGH SCHOOL LECTURE COURSE.

Believing that the lecture course has
become a thing which the citizens of
\ ale are not willing to give up, and
judging from the liberal patronage OF
the last two years that it would be safe
to offer greater value for the money
we have secured what promises to be
the best course ever offered in Yale.
Two numbers on the course are too
well known to need comment. Coming
with new program Ralph Parlette
and the Whitney Brothers are sure to
be greeted by packed house. The
other numbers are lecture by DR.. III
w. Sears on "More Taffy and Less
Epitaphy," lady quartette, The Har-
mOny Company; and mixed musical
The BOynton Company, consisting of a
reader, gentleman violinist, soprano
and a pianist and accompanist. De-
tailed mention of the numbers will be
given from time to time. There are no

Read what Sunshine" Willets, who
lectured here a few years ago, says of
DIR. Sears who opens our course:-
"Dr. III. w. Sears lectures are good
for dyspepsia; they exercise the spirit
of grumbling and dependency; they
drive all the blue devils out of the
windows. Mingling with his irresistible
merrlment are most earnest and elo-
quent appeals TO true manliness and
true womanliness, while his clear and
resonant voice stirs the pulses of pa
trlotism like the notes of bugle."

BOYS TAKE NOTICE.

Last year the Common Council pass

ing on the streets. Several of the
village boys evidently have the impress
sion that the ordinance does not apply
to foot ball, but this is wrong. The
ordinance does apply to foot ball play.
ing, and any who participate in this
pastime on the public streets are liable
to a fine and Imprisonment. Many
complaints have been made to the mar
shall and president, and il is determin-
ed that there shall be no more playing
on the public streets. To obey the law
is one of the first lessons of youth and
II is hoped that no further action will
be needed to enforce this ordinance.

TWO FINE ENTERTAINMENTS.

Yale people have certainly been favor
ed with some good shows since ROsen-
thai IL Carney became managers Of
! Central Hall. During the past week
the theatre-goers have had two treats,
and if the management continues book
! ing such people they are assured of
| full houses at each entertainment.
On Saturday evening last the opera
house was filled to its utmost capacity,
even the aisles being crowded with
people who were unable to secure seats.
On this occasion The Canadian Jubilee
Singers and Imperial Orchestra occupied
| the boards, and we are safe in saying
| that there was not one in the entire
audience but who was pleased with the
entertainment. Every number on the
program was encOred and was respond
ed TO very nicely. The entire company
is composed of artists and the general
conclusion arrived at was that it was
! the best yet.
| The usual disturbances which have
been in evidence at shows and enter
tainments in Yale during the past few
| years was very conspicuous on Satur-
| day nich. by its absence. and it is 20 be
| hoped that the gang" will continue to
| behave themselves, as any company
can give better satisfaction if allowed
to do the acting themselves.
On Wednesday evening last - Ro-
nance of Coon Hollow" was played
before a crowded house at Central Hall
and the entire audience was more than
| pleased with the production.
Every part was well taken and show
ed that much care was taken i'm getting
the play ready TO be put on. From the
beginning many little mirthtul episodes
were interspersed which kept the crowd
in splendid spirits, and it was said by
everyone that the performance ended
too soon.
Here's hoping that ere long this com
pany may play return engagement in
Yale, and if they do we can safely as
sure them a packed house.

w. c. F'EIMSTER.
Member of the House of Representa-
tives From Catawba County.

Walter c. Feimster was born in ire
dell county August 31st 1866, and was
educated in the public schools and the
censed to practice law in 1895, and
began the practice of law in Newton,
where he has built up a large and
growing practice. He has served as
county superintendent of public in
struction and county attorney for four
years. He was married on February
3rd, 1897, to Miss Bessie Yount, of
Conover, Catawba county. He is q
Presbyterian. Mr.. Feimster was elect
ed to the House by a majority of 1877,
leading the ticket in his county, the
average Democratic majority being
about so. He is a singularly effective
campaigner, appealing always to the
highest instincts and patriotism of his
hearers He waged the campaign
upon high plane and won many votes
in that close county for himself and
the whole Democratic ticket. Catawba
is one of the few counties where the
detection from the Democratic party
in 1894 has continued strong and
dangerous, but the wisdom of the
party in standing for education and
temperance has resulted in redeem
ing the county for Democracy and
good government In this work Mr..
Feimster has shared with the other
leaders of the party. In the House he
served as a member of the following
committees: Judiciary, constitutional
Amendments Education, Finance,
Propositions and Grievances. Counties,

A FINE BODY OF MEN
No General Assembly in The History of
the State Has Been Actuated BY
Higher Motives The Result of Their
Labors Will Be Approved BY the
PeopIe---No Radical Legislation
Found Favor With the Legislators.

Below will be found brief and I'M
perfect sketches of the men who made
up the General Assembly of 1905. 1t
was a body of representative North
Carolinians from all callings. No pre-
vious Legislature has contained truer,
honester or more capable men. They
were independent and conservatively
progressive. They knew what the peo-
pie wanted and honestly sought to
write their will upon the statutes OF
course they did some things they ought
not to have done and left undone some
things they ought to have done. That
is necessarily true of all legislative
bodies, but when the people come to
sum up all the good things done, all
the bad things that were killed, and
the mistakes made-taking everything
together-their verdict of the General
Assembly of 1906 will be We'll done.
More and more men are beginning
to understand that personal character
is the only safe basis upon which good
government can rest. AS they appre-
ciate this fact, they are year by year
demanding that their representatives
shall be men whose personal life IS
above reproach. Men whose habits
are not what they should be can not
he trusted to make laws to give uplft
to the character of the whole people.
The General Assembly of 1905 was
composed of men whose private lives
could stand the test. No body has as
sembled in North Carolina composed
OF men of higher character. and their
legislation shows that they were moved
by considerations that appealed to
both their head and heart, and that
will contribute to the moral as well as
the material welfare Of the State.

quor Traffic. He was author of one
of the most important bills that pass
ed the House, the bill to reduce pas
senger fares to 2 1-2 cents. The COM
mittee changed his bill and he accept
ed the change making the rate 3
cents for frst-class fare and 2 IL
cents for second class fare. His
speech in support of this bill bristled
with facts and statistics that were un-
ansWerable. He led the fight on the
floor Of the House with consummate
wisdom and in running debate sus-
tanned himself at every point. He
was author of bill to protect the fish
industry in the Pamlico River against
Dutch and Pound nets and made an
earnest fight for it. He was greatly
interested particularly in every mat
ter that touched the farm or farmer
and no legislation of the session that
had any bearing for what he conceiv-
ed to be the benefit Of the agricultur-
al interests failed to find in him an
earnest supporter. He took interest
likewise in matters looking to improve
ment in the execution of the criminal
law, and made an effective fight for
the passage of Judge Graham's bill
to reduce the number of peremptory
challenges of the defendant in capital
cases. That is a subject upon which
he has thought much and written
much, and the House was in accord
with his views. which he so earnestly
impressed, but the bill, unfortunately
for the cause of justice, failed in the
Senate.
Mr.. Laughinghouse entered the Con-
federate army at the age of sixteen,
leaving Horner's school and enlisting
in April, 1854. He was Captain of
Company II, list North Carolina Reg
iment, Junior Reserves and surrend-
cred with Johnson's army at Green's
boro. He was engaged in the fights
of Kinston and Bentonsville. There
was no youth in the army who was
animated by deeper love for his coun-
try and more attached to the Confed-
crate cause. He is a courageous fight
er in peace and in war. Always strik-
ing above the belt he gives blows
against what he believes entrenched
wrongs. He is a man who was born
to lead and to command, but his lead
ership has in it the uDlift of those
things he believes will be best for his
State and country His service in the
Legislature was conspicuous for the
courage with which he fought power
full interests and great evils, and he
added to his already excellent repu-
tation as a patriotic and useful son
of the State.

North Carolina, Mr.. Laughinghouse
