AMUSEM ENTS,
"Her First False Step"

The COsgrOve Stock Co. appeared at
the Opera house, last evening" before
large and warmly appreciative audi
ence. The offering was Her First False
Step and it was the best performance
that has been given by Il repertoire
company. in this city, since the season
opened. The company is a large one,
the specialties unusually good, and the
play, last evening" was mounted and
costumed with care and accuracy The
drama was of the usual type, with a
plot not unlike many other plays, with

inc, the dress-suit william and the
heavy lady," who wears Broadway
toys until the last act, when she does
the Prodigal act with rags. pale face
and trelnelo from the violin. The show
was really very enjoyable, and a sex
tette of rube singers brought down the
house.
Sumner Nichols was very manly
hero in the role of "Jack Walters" and
II. q. Emery as "Dan Mathews" the
william, was very acceptable. Robert S.
Nod;ne, however, in the rough-house
comedy part of Jimmy Burns" made
the personal triumph of the show and
sympathetic applause rewarded his fun
making efforts. Miss Adelaide Nye
played the leading role conventionally,
though well, and Miss Mary Diehl as
the real rude Villianess, MARY Foster"
was excellent. The other members of
the company were very capably cast.
The specialticS. as noted, were away
above the ordinary. Emery and Nodine

1t has leaked out that four OF the
young lady singers of the city are the
victims of a cruel joke. but cruel as IT
is. there is no one to blame but them
selves. According to the details OF
the story which is going round, the
young ladies had engaged to sing at
"a fair which is soon to be given in one
of the neighboring cities. They dld
not think to ask about the dates of the
entertainment, for when the member
of the committee with whom they mad
made the arrangements, told them
that he should expect them on the
second, they thought that he meant
the second of the month, when in reali-
ty he meant the second night of the
fair. Last Saturday was the second
of the month, and packing their even
ing dresses in their travelling cases,
the four took the train for the city
where they were to sing. No one met
them at the station, but they thought
nothing of that, and took team for
a hotel. The drop did not fall until
after supper, they sought the nan
where they were to appear. When
they reached the place. all was DARK
with no signs Of a gathering of any
kind, and it was not until they asked
some questions about the fair that
they became aware of the fact that
they were more than week ahead OF
time.

OPPOSE THE LEASE.
The "AttemDted'' Lease of Atlantic
and North Carolina.
New Bern Journal.)

At the June meeting of the magis-
trateS and board of commissioners of
Craven county, in joint session, resOlu-
ton was offered and adopted, which
instructed the county commissioners
to look into the matter of what was
termed the ATTEMPTED" lease of the
Atlantic and North Carolina railroad
property, the lease first going to the
Rowland Improvement Company and
the property since being under the di-
rection of the Atlantic and North Car
Dina Company.
The discussion at the meeting Wis
long, and led To a great deal of talk,
which indicated that the farmers and
the business men, the shippers, of this
city and county feel that the lease has
worked them an injury.
But this fact, that the people of
Craven county find that the lease has
not worked to their benefit, but rather
otherwise, is no argument for attempt
ing to set aside the lease.
Those behind the resolution admit
this, and say that the lease is not legal,
and it is merely an attempted" lease.
which cannot stand in law.
In all this matter. the Journal sees
nothing new That the lease would
work against this city had been fore
told. The legal status has been gone
over time and again, and it remains TO
be seen what action the commissions
ers of this county will take, in proving
that there is no legal lease of this 4.
& n. c. property, only~an attempted
one. which can have no standing,
therefore the alleged lessees have no
right to continue to operate this
railroad property.

COTTON KNEE HIGH.
The Average Crop Has Voluntarily or
InvGluntarily Been Reduced One
Half

Rev. G. E. Cover was in Raleigh
yesterday and had with him several
stalks from his cotton crop which was
nearly knee high. He also brought
cotton that was the average, very
small MI Cover said: Il voluntarily
reduced by acreage one-half." He then
pointed to the very small cotton, which
he said was the average, and said:
'"That is the average of those who did
not reduce the cotton acreage, but
the Almighty has reduced it one-half
for them,
Mr.. Cover selects his seed with
care. When the cotton is in the field,
he selects only five locked bolls from
good stalks, and that gives him the
finest cotton that can be grown. "A
farmer" said Mr. Cover, "can make
q dollar an hour if he will devote his
time to selecting his seed. This APP
plies not only to cotton but to any
thing"
Mr.. Cover says he has the best crop
he has ever had.
Asked if he thought his education
paid him, Mr.. Cover said: Yes, very
we'll, [ find it pays me in farming as
in other things. If my mind had not
been trained | could not see so many
lessons on the farm. Farmers should
be educated so as to give them the
best chance. The farm is book that
a trained mind can better read and
understand"
