Beautiful Indian Opera Render.

A great audience of Goldsboro
peop.e gathered in the Messenger
Opera House last night 10 witness
the presentation of the Indian opera
Powhatan by a complement of home
talent consisting Of one hundred and
twenty-five, who had been rehears-
ing for some time for this event, and
whose public spirit and diligent ap-
plication were SO signally rewarded
last night by one of the largest and
most appreclative audiences ever as
sembled in the Messenger Opera
House, their frequent and sponta-
neous applause and repeated encores
evldencing how thoroughly they
enjoyed the beautiful performance.
Every feature Of the indian life
was most graphically carried out
| with an abandon of execution and
originality that were both refreshing
and instructive, and as a faithful
rehearsal of an historic incident,
around which the glamour Of ro-
nance and the halo of love linger
aud cling, it was as beneficial as it's
musical and histrionic features and
{ beautiful costumes and scenic stag
ing were delightful.
| Miss Margaret Castex as stPoca-
hontas" and Miss Essie Edwards as
"Laughing Starr sustained their
respective parts in a highly artistic
manner that was pleasing to the
audience.
The little braves and papooses and
feather dancers, too, were the re-
cipients of much applause.
Mrs. w. Il. Morris made a very
charming Indian maid, as "Min-
nehaha.
Mr.. f. r. Hall as "Powhatan,' -
MIR. Roscoe Riyenbark as"Panther,''
DR.. E. M. Vitou as "Medicine
Nam and Mr.. Hamburg Davies as
"Capt Rolfe," were each very good.
The performance reflected great
credit on the trainer, MI. Albert L.
Baker, who made an admirable
sCapt. john Smith,"
Of course we would like to par
ticularize in a more extended man.
ner, but where so many home
people were gathered-aI in the
same generous spirit-of. helpfulness
for the purpose of the entertainment,
and where each and all did their
respective parts SO c%heerfulfy and SO
!, well, We feel that we cannot afford
to be partial.

Here You Are Again.

Some days ago we published al
editorial from the Daplin Journal,
in a prohibition county, staring how
the people of It's county favor GOld,-
bOro with their trade because of pro-
hibition, and now here is what the
Mt. Olive Tribune says this week:
"We are glad tosee the determined
and bold stand that Goldsboro's two
splendid papers, The DAILY ARGUS
and the Weekly Record, are taking
against the opening of bar rooms in
Goldsboro, and if the movement is
defeated, as we believe it will be,
the temperance people may thank
those two mediums most for the
achievement of a glorious victory.
The opening Of bar-roomSi in Colds
boro is not only a serious problem
for that city, bat one in which the
people of this end of the county are
greatly interested. Our proximity
| to Col lsboro, and the constant trave
between here and there, would MAKE
saloons in that city a menace TO every
| wholesome interest in this section
Under prohibition Goldsboro ha:
prospered as never before and the
remainder of the county has profiteo
accordingly.
s'May the election of Novembe
l4th result in such a complete ant
Overwhelming defeat of the move
ment that the saloon advocates Wi
never again attempt to fasten tn
blightipg evil upon Goldsboro an
Wayne county"

Woman has a smile for every joy,
a tear for every sorrow, a consola-

every fault, a prayer for every mis-
fortune and encouragement for every
hope.
The heart that never loved was
the first atheist.
The selfish, loving only them
selves, are loved by no one: So,
selfishness is moral suicide.
There is no better excess In the
world than the excess of gratitude.

Speculation on the wrestling match
between Jim Parr. the English heavy
weight champion, and Frank Gotch, the
American heavyweight champion, in
New York tonight, is lively among the
Gotham sports.
Parr has many strong supporters who
claim that Gotch will never be able TO

he has agreed to do, and they are back
Ing their opinion with money This
match is of great interest to Washing
tonians, as Gotch has undertaken to
throw Joe Grant, of this city. three
times IN an hour at the Washington
Light Infantry Armory tomorrow night
Goteh is the heavyweight champion,
and is pronounced by those who follow
the game to be one of the greatest mat
artists who ever appeared in this coun-
Try. while Grant is only a middleweight,
but the local man has shown such re-
Inarkable ability to stand off heavier
men than himself that the match is sure
TO be highly interesting.
In Fine Condition.
Gotch never was in better condition
than he is at present. and will be seen
at his best. He has been wrestling con
stantly, throwing heavy men in hsndi-
cap matches, and has not yet failed to
accomplish what he has agreed to do.
