NORTH CAROLINA BEST PLACE.
A Native. Returning Poor From
Texas. Has Made $4,000.

Grew. p. r. Law in Robesonian.)
Twenty years ago Robesonian,
who had gone to Texas several years
before. got homesick. He resolved to
come home. All his possessions he
could convert into money was Tex
as pony. He resolved 10 sell him ana
come homeward as far as the pro-
ceeds of the sale would bring him.
When his money gave out he stopped
and picked cotton twice and made
money in order 10 reach old Robeson
at last. He landed with nothing.
Without delay he began farming and
is a farmer yet. He has made all his
money by farming and is worth about
seNenty-five thousand dollars. This
fact shows several things. II proves
the value Of our lands and the prof1t
that is possible in farming In our
county. Let this story be pondered
while reading or bearing of the great
sums of money that are made now
and then IN the South and West. We
have Kne so'/ the climate, the water.
the equable seasons the educational
and social attractions that
are peculiarly fitted to draw the best
people TO our borders and keep our
boys at home.

No CHOICE MADE
But the Battle is Ger

SiV Men Nominated by the Gould Fac
ton as Wabash Directors Will
Probably be Elected This
Morning.
MorninQ
(By the Associated Press.)

Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 10.-No direc-
| tors We're chosen at the annual meet
ing of the Wabash Railroad today.
The sessions with the exception of
two brief recesses lasted from nine
o'clock in the morning until 11:15
at night, almost the entire time being
| taken up by the examination of prox-
les. Although no figures had been
given out by the inspectors of cleo
tion, 1t is beneved that the vote to be
taken the first thing tomorrow morn
ing will show that Mr.. Gould has be-
hind him about $22, 100000 of the
bonds, and that Mr.. Ramsey has in
the neighborhood OF $2,000,000
This makes certain that six men
nominated by the Gould faction as
directors representing the bondhold-
ers vii be elected. These men are
Russell Sage, Winslow S. Pierce, r. G..
Clowry, r. T. Welles, W. q. Saun-
ders and r. NJ. Galloway. Mr.. Ram
Sey has not shown sufficient strength
to enable him to hold his seat as q
director, and it is generally believed
that he is weaker in stock proxies
than he is in the bonds.
The result of the meeting now in
progress viii not settle the fight for
Mr.. Ramsey adheres to the pro-
.,lume outlined today in the caucus
Of the Wabash bondholders by his
counsel. Judge Doyle.
When the proxies of the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company. and the
Mercantile Trust Company, of New
York, We're produced, giving to Geo.
Gould the right to the 5,435 votes
represented by the bonds owned by
the Missouri Pacific and Iron Noun
tain Railways, and which are held by
the two trust companies, Judge Doyle
formally entered a protest to the in
spectors of election against the ad-
mission of the votes. He declared
that they represented securities which
are held by lines parallel to. and
competing with the Wabash road; that
the holding of such securities by such
railroads is Illegal, and that therefore
any votes representing illegal holders
could not under the law be receiv-
ed.
''The protest / now make against
the votes represented by these two
trust companies declared Judge
Doyle. "I shall repeat tomorrow in
the caucus of the stockholders, and
+ now serve notice that the result
of any election in which these votes
are counted, will be hereafter con-
tested i'm the courts.

ROOSEVELT.

(From the London Academy, Aug. go.
1862
Call him Nhe child OF God:
1t is the rightful name,
Who laboring hard hath trod
The way OF truest fame:
Not the red path OF war and force
and might
But the PeaceInaker's path that leads
TO light
And since that name is his
Wish him the joy thereof,
or healing miseries
And taking burdens off,
or wiping tears away and ending
pain
And bidding Life lift up her face
again.
Rejoice with him, O world
Fst the most ye twain rejoice.
Whose standards still unfurled
Have heard the herald Voice
That bids the cannon's deathful roar
TO cease
With prelude strains of the sweet
song of Peace.

"HAZEL KIRKE" TONIGHT.
Ellie Ellsler. i'm This Charming Play.
at the Academy of Music.

Raleigh is to enjoy a genuine treat
tonight in the presentation OF the
play of Hazel Kirke," at the Acad-
emy of Music. 1t is Il stirring play,
and is full of heart interest, being
known for its beauty and purity. 1t
is play without a vilran," and il is
truly q delight to witness the perform
ance, which is full of dramatic situa-
tions.
Hazel Kirke" is no dry sermon, but
is il powerful throbbing play. 1t is,
first of all, entertainment, and thus.
being designed TO interest and amuse.
it has many passages of comedy and
frequent flashes of wit. The great in
tereSt in this revival of a lovely play
lies in Miss Efiie Ellslers reappear-
ance in the part she created and
made famous. This Will be the last
chance this city will have to see her
play Hazel, as she steps out of the
part forever with this seasons re-
ViVal.
She is a clever actress, and she
has scored her greatest triumph in
the play of Hazel Kirke."

GRIP Of FEVER
ON PENSACOLA
Large Increase in the
Number of Cases.
THREE DIED TUESDAY
New Orleans Continues to Show I'm.
prOvements. A New Point OF lnfec-
ton Reported is New Iberia.
In Mississippi the Situation
Grows Brighter.
(By the Associated Press. )

Pensacola, Fla, Oct l0.-The fever
summary tonight shows big increase
i'm the number of new cases as col-
lows:
New cases, 32; total, 307; deaths, 5:
total, AZ; under treatment, 143; dis
charged, 113.
The large increase in the number of
new cases was expected owing to the
very inclement weather and the pre-
vious spread of the disease to ali sec
Iions of the city. The number today
is much larger than on any date since
the outbreak of the fever. A large
number of suspicious cases were re-
ported.
One of the deaths today was Brit
ish Vice-Consul Frederick Bonar, who
was taken ill during the later portion
of last week. He had been here for
five years, coming from Brest, France,
where he was vice-consul. His family
Is prominent, his father being in tne
consular service in Paris, while mis-
brother is consul-general in Japan.
At a meeting of the city council
today appropriations were made for
The employment of more physicians to

WHY so WEAK ?
Kidney Troubles May be Sapping Your
Life Away. Raleigh People Have
Learned This Fact.

When a healthy man or woman oe-
gins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languld, depress-
ed, suffers backache, headache, dizzy
spells and urinary disorders, look to
the kidneys for the cause or 1t all:
Keep the kidneys well and they Will
keep you we'll. Doan's Kidney Pllls
cure sick kidneys and keep them wen.
Here is Raleigh testimony to prove IL.
A. H. Haynes, policeman, who lives
at 567 New Bern Avenue, says: Il
have used Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Bobbitt-Wynne Drug Co. s
store, and attribute my being cured
entirely to them. I was so sore /
could not sit up in chair and my
back ached right across the loins and
/ was so weak 1 could not stand. In
spite of using well-known kidney
remedies / did not obtain a particle of
relief. Doan's Kidney Pills acted like
a charm. the soreness and pain left
me and my back is as strong as it ever
was"

(From "Roosevelts German Days,
by Louis Viereck, in Success Mag
aZine.")
More entertaining, perhaps, and
equally interesting, are the anecdotes
which are told about our President by
the MinkwitZ family. Frau F2scher
distinctly recollects that once she
prophesied the future greatness OF
young Teddy. She says: "One day l
had a conversation with Mrs. Roose-
welt, who said to me, wonder what is
going to become Of my Teddy
replied, You need not be anxious
about him. He will surely be one
day a great professor or, who knows,
he may become even President of the
United States. Mrs. Roosevelt rebuked
me. She said such a thing was
and asked how could
have struck upon such an absurdity.
But, perhaps on account of my inn
pulsive remark, / have since contin-
ually watched Theodore Roosevelt
career. and have always been glad
when he has made step forward In
the world"

"SHERLOCK HOLMES"
1.-THE Sign of the Four" On Thursday
Night at the Academy.

One of the best attractions this
season will be the performance OF
Sherlock Holiness" in the strange
the Four" at the Academy of Music
on Thursday night.
1.-THE Sign of the Four" is a dra-
matization of Sir A. Conan Doyle's s
novel of the same name. The prin-
cipal character, that of Sherlock
Holmes, the great detective, and the
story of the play deals with his ef-
forts TO recover and restore to the
rightful owner of the stolen wealth
of a murdered Rajah. The story is
woven in manner that holds the
interest of the audience throughout.
1t is the best of the Doyle fictions
made into a drama of such virile
strength and vital dramatic power
that its appeal is not confined to d
