A GENUINE DELIGHT.
Walter Whi;eSlde Brilliant Success in
David Garricl1's Love"

Those theatre goers in Raleigh who
failed to be at the Academy of Music
last night missed one of the most
charming and delightful performances
of the season.
1t was appreciated by q cultured au-
dience who gave merited applause to
the really splendid performance. Mr..
Walter NhiteSide fixed himself firmly
here as an actor OF the first rank by
his presentation of the character OF
David Garrick." It is a character that
suits him ana its faultless portrayal
won for him applause that was meant.
1t is not eXaggeration to say that he
is to be classed among the very best
actors this city has seen.
The cast is a strong one through
out, each OF the members of the COM
parry being entitled to praise for more
than meritoricus work. The play is
eXCellently staged, and the plot moves
naturally and smoothly to a most
charming close.
Fortunate are the places which Mr..
Whiteside and his company will visit
with David Garricks Love" for each
audience is sure-to duplicate the praise
given unstintedly last night by all
who attended the performance. Raj
eigh is ready to give Mr.. Whiteside
a grpat<audience when his route brings
him. this way again.

The delegates in attendance from
such cotton growing State fully appre-
ciated the gravity Of the situation and
weighed carefully every step taken.
Nothing was done hurriedly; but on
the contrary every detail commanded
the closest scrutiny, and the conven-
ton felt sure of its footing before any
hnal conclusions were arrived at.
Mr. Parker said "the enthusiasm of
all, whether bankers merchants or
farmers, created confidence in the
movement that will act as an inspira-
ton all over the South. AS an illus
tration, ask any one in attendance
as to his opinion of the convention
and the work done, and ne would
promptly answer. THE. convention
has exceeded my expectations, and we
are bound TO win"
'Twenty-nine delegates from North
Carolina attended and all were we'll
pleased with New Orleans, the con-
vention and the work accomplished"
Mr.. Parker states that township
county and State conventions are to
be held during February in every cot
ton growing State, and that the work
of organizing the farmers Will be push
co as rapidly as possible.

Under the Dome.

Speaking with gentleman yester-
day who has had fifteen years ex-
periance in the service of the rail-
roads, regarding the running of
freight trains on Sunday he said: The
Cover bill ought to become a law"
Speaking further the gentleman said:
Il suppose the VEGETABLE argument
Will be the big gun for benefit of
North Carolina truckers. No one OBJ
jects to them Carving ptrishaple
freights and live stock on Sunday, but
they have solid trains of pig iron
merchandise and empty cars and
trainmen tell me they have run trains
and not a pound of perishable or live
stock. Also solid trains of empties.
Every employe, both station and train
men want the Sunday freights
don't personally appear here is be-
cause they would be fired.
The provision that killed the old
law was not adopted by any request
of truckers, but by the railroads them
selves They would switch cars in
Raleigh all day on Sundays and other
towns in North Carolina if the hand of
the law was not up against them. The
railroads fought the corporation COM
mission. They fought the Jim Grow
car law. They fought the Fuller bill
that gave Durham a union depot.
They fought making connection at
Selma and they fight this bill, because
the people want it stopped and [ have
interviewed scores of trainmen and
station agents and operators and they
want running freights on Sundays
stopped.
1T compelIs operators to be on duty
all day on Sundays and for months
never having an opportunity for
church on account of this fragrant and
open sin and never a cent do they get
for it.
You close the hands of the laborer
on Sunday. You close factories on
Sundays A trucker cannot weed out
his truct on Sunday, nor reap it on
Sunday, and they don't cut and ship
it on Sounday in order to get it trans
ported on Sunday. You take any
trucking community in North Carolina
and they do not get any benefit on
account of this highway sin. II the
A. c. l.. want to run trains on Sunday
for truck j dare say they can from
their many branch lines on Saturday
and Saturday night congregate or
centralize enough cars OF truck at
Rocky Mount in order to make up
solid train for Sunday running.
If the railroads would only do this
on account of the truckers suppose
they only run trains during trucking
season? Why do they run them 50
Sundays a year? The fact is outside
of 80 or so day trucking season
few boxes of oranges, or baskets of
bananas or lemons, few barrels of APP
pies, etc, will constitute every bit Of
perishable freight or these high ball
rollers as they pass Raleigh on Sun
day laden down with pig iron, coal,
cotton, lumber etc.
l know what 1 am talking about.
l have seen trains of empty cars eX-
clusively run on Sunday. They may
tell you they expedite the delivery of
your merchandise, are giving the
people so much better service, etc.
/ have interviewed scores of mer-
chants and shippers and they as
whole without exception tell ME the
service has degenerated within the
last few years rather than improved

First of More Than a Hundred Letters
Intended to Aid Those Who SUI
fer From Drink
Habit.

From thousands of letters written
by men of position and influence and
which, if published. would benefit
their fellow men more than one hun
dred during the past three months
have been selected for publication and
one will appear each day in the News
and Observer. There is much good TO
be accomplished by the reading of
these letters and in many instances
unhappy homes may be blessed by
some friend who will clip these letters
and send them TO some one who could
be benefited.
The first letter appears herewith
and addressed to the Kelley Institute,
Greensboro. n. c., is as follows:
l left this place on August 26th,,
1902, for the Kelley Institute at
Greensboro, y. c., being, | suppose,
one of the greatest drunkardsethat old
Virginia ever produced of my age. /
was just tWenty-one years of age when
l went their. / staid drunk, or under
the influence of whiskey from the age
of fifteen to twehty-Qne years, when
| went to the Institute in 1892. AS
you see had been drinking hard for
six years, and at the time / went 20
the Institute L had gotten to such u
pitch l could, and did a few days be-
fore going, drink as much as one and
a half gallons of mean corn whiSkey
in one day. And the cay before going
l drank one and a half gallons, and
late in the evening it gave out so
went to a merchant and bought six
h~++Ies of DR.. Harter's Wild Cherry
Bitters, 25 cents size; three walls
L.snuning Hop Drops, 25 cent size
and two Walls Jamaica ginger, 10
cent size; all in one day. No help in
the case at all-really had just thrown
myself entirely away. Had a right
nice legacy left me drank it all up and
was penni!ess. My wife borrowed
some money from her friends and
took me there, else 1 would have lived
but short while so the doctors told
me. had hemmorage and the snakes
were right after me. / stayed at the
Institute four weeks and three days,
and after by treatment came home a
new and cured man. 1 would not take
million dollars today for my treat
ment Have never wanted a drop
since l left, and of course, have never
taken and either. If | was sick and
knew it would save my life ! would
prefer leaving, as / know the evil of
drink. All were exceedingly nice to
me while there. If the drunkards
could all see it as l do they would sell
their shirts to get there and be men
once more.
VIII say in conclusion, some reader
may say my statement sounds very
great but / am here with the facts in
the case. / am now doing a thrifty
mercantile business, getting on nicely
and have an interesting little family
coming on. With best wishes for the
Institute and may the good people go
forward and let the Institute do them
good / am. Very truly

TO REDUCE FERTILIZER TAX.
TO REDUCE FERTILIZER TAX.
Bill to be Introduced to Cut the Pres
cnt Tax I'm Half.

It is understood from a reliable
source that an act will shortly be in
PRODUCED in the legislature to cut the
present fertilizer tax from twenty
cents per ton to ten cents.
This bill is to be introduced 'and
urged before the general assembly not
by interests connected with the manu-
facture of fertilizer, but by persons
who are interested in the farmers of
the State, their theory being that
while the revenue from the tax was
last. year $S7 900. this UNI is in reality
paid by the farmers, III the increased
price of the fertilizers, this being
raised to meet the tax imposed by the
State.
If the tax is reduced say the spon-
sors of the proposed bill, the price
reduction will follow in proportion.
