Women Who Paint Miniatures.

The New Idea Woman's Magazine for
December contains an article of some
pages in length concerning the painting
ofminiatures by American women artists
In America, women appear to have
led in this branch of art, which dates
from the time of Charles |. Interesting
accounts are given of the leading Ameri-
can women miniature painters, among
whom are Miss Laura C. Hills, Miss Ethel
Blanchard, Miss Martha Baker, Miss
Magda Heuerman and Miss Anna Lynch
Miss Hills, who "has " on the reputation
OF being the best American miniature
painter of the present day." was trained
at the Art Students League in New York
and the Art School in Boston. ''She be-
gan her career as an artist by designing
Christmas cards and valentines. After
having gained experience in these lines
she worked with pastels, her pastels in
Guiding figures and landscapes. Her
wOsk was characterized by rich coloring
and great depth of feeling, and began to
attract the attention of many able critics,
but she was not satisfied here. She
wanted finer method of coloring than
pastels, so took up the small brush. In
the beginning her orders were small, but
she was willing to make the sacrifice in
order to realize her ambitions. After
working quietly for few years, she be-
gan to exhibit at a Boston gallery, and
it was not very long before her name be-
came known as miniature artist at
home and abroad"

While it is impossible to live in our

the wonderful growth that is going

the correct impression OF the amount
and magnitude of that growth.

few States of the Union, and sur

An index to the growth in this
State, along manufacturing lines,
may be obtained from the following
statistics, running back to 1898. In
that year there were only 81 COM
panies incorporated in this State.
Ten years ago the number was in

Let not Southern Senators mis-
take the sectional motive behind the

Worthy Sentiments from a Negro.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
In great contrast with the writings
and speeches Of many negroes in the
recent past is the following letter
from Il negro OF Alamance county to
the Burlington News on tie murder
GUS assault made by a negro on Mr.
l.. Banks Holt and it give, US great
pleasure to reproduce it in the col
umns of the Messenger.
We congratulate the Alamance
people of both races that they have
such a negro living in their midst. 1t
is a pity that there are not more like
him throughout the So,th. He
stands for what is best among he
people OF his race and his influence is
for the good of both neg,oes and
white people. We're his sentiments
indorsed and his ideas actedup to by
his people there would be ess talk
OF race prejudice.
His letter should be read ~ every
negro teacher and preache. in the
South. 1t has much more ofthe true
Christian spirit in it than The resolu-
tion adopted by that negro Baptist
church convention, which was calcu-
lated to widen the breach instead of to
heal race differences.
In every community there are some
negroes OF the type of NJ. C.Worth
who really have at heart the.aOod of
their race, but they do not weld the
same influence as do the more worth
less and antagonistics elf-constituted
leaders, we are sorry to know Such
negroes have the respect andesteem
of white people and they are fully
worthy of it. They should become the
real leaders of their people, fer much
substantial benefit would come to the
latter were they to heed the advice
and follow the example Of swh men
of their race. They would prosper in
material ways and there woull spring
up the kindliest feelings between the
two races where there would he no
room for race antagOnism and pre-
JUDGE.
That man Worth has a good work
before him and there never vas bet
ter time for him to go about it. He
says in his letter:
Mr.. Editor-Please allow me space in
your paper to say a few words concern
ing the shooting of Mr.. Holt. Mr.. Holt
has the highest regard and sympathy of
the best colored people of this county.
We are so sorry to hear OF 80 valuable a
man having to suffer from the hands OF
SO sorry a person. We are glad to know
th at the guilty one is on his way to his
just reward, and will have to pay the
death penalty.
A word to my colored brethren. l am
glad of the effort of the coloral people in
helping to find out the guiltyparty, and
want to say in conclusion that we as a
race should not wait until crime is
committed before we annoure it, but as
soon as we hear of contemplated out
rage TO prevent it and saw someone's
life. let it be white or black.

''Oh where is my wandering boy
Tonight" has been sung thousands
OF times with wonderful tenderness
and pathos, but how many of the
singers or hearers, ever give heed to
the pertinent inquiry of the song?
Statistics are frequently published
showing the great majority Of our
boys spending their nights away
from better influences OF home. As
they grow into youth and early man.
hood they seem to grow into the world
and worldly ways. If the singers
plaintive question could be answered
publicly in any ordinary meeting
where the song is sung, it would
cause a tremendous sensation, and
many a heart would bow down in
sorrow and pain. For some reason
it is just as we'll that the nightly
haunts OF "the boys are not spe-
officially mentioned in local public

"The Tenderfoot."
An Attraction Such as Henderson
Theatre Goer. Never Before
Had the Opportunity Of Witness
ing-Opening Performance at
the Grand Theatre Friday Night,
Dec. 21st.

As heretofore announced the open
ing attraction at the Grand Theatre
will be 1.-The Tenderfoot,' Friday
night, December Dist, in which Oscar
L. Figman, the famous quaint com
edian, we'll known to metropolitan
audiences on account of his splendid
work in "The Burgomaster,' will be
the star. A dramatic critic says
this:
Mr.. Figman is said to have surprised
even his warmest admirers in the role OF
Professor Pettibone, the gentle old
( seminarian whose experiences on a Tex
as ranch furnish the greatest part OF the
comedy of the opera. Figman is the
proud possessor OF a pair of comedy legs
and a quiet wit which seems to please
auditors.
Miss Ruth White appears in the role
OF Marion Worthington, and brings to it
pleasing personality and a fine soprano
voice.
The remainder of the cast is we'll
known, Jethro Warner, tenor of ability,
ia singing the part of Paul; A. W. Hutch
ins is the Honest John; Fred Bailey is
Sergeant Barker; Henry B. Williams, one
of the best dancers on the stage, is the
Chinaman; Louise Bracket the Sally
Grace Sloan the Patsy, and frankie
Warner the Flora Jane Fibby. The
chorus is an extremely large one, the com
pany numbering sixty people
Richard earle and H. l.. Hearth are the
author and composer, respectively, OF
"The Tenderfoot." While earle did not
claim that he had written a piece OF
extraordinary originality, he managed
to bring out one that is genuinely funny
and one in which there is great oppor-
tunity for attractive and characteristic
costuming and coloring. He caught the
spirit of the open air when he wrote the
lyrics, and Hearth, on furnishing the
music, caught the spirit The result is a
score OF tunes that are all OF the whist
ling variety. Some OF the remembered
songs are MY Alamo Love" 1.-The Tale
OF the Tortured Thomas Cat" "Adios, +"
"The Soldiery." ''I'm Soldier OF For
tune" Fascinating Venus" ''Only q
Kiss" and the splendid finale of the Sec
ond act, when the Rangers march away
to fight the hostile Indians.

To THE EDIToR:-Apropos of your
article copied from the Kansas City
Star in reference to the champion
speller of the world, Iwish to say that
we have right here in Franklin coun-
ty, N. c., Il man who can spell a little,
too. He is no professor or doctor OF
divinity-not even al LII. D., but a
plain old farmer. Hisname is Joseph
John Allen. He can not only spell
every word in the English language
correctly but can tell the page, column
and line and give the definition OF
every word in Webste1's old blue back
speller, and l think can do the same
thing in Webster's Unabridged Die
tionary. Now, if ne can't take the
starch out of Prof. Jones and Miss
Hamilton l will pay for the diction-
airy. Twill also contribute $40 to help
pay his expenses to meet them at any
place designated in the United States,
and there are plenty more who will do
the same thing.

The above figures do not all repre-
sent the number of new enterprises
established, but many OF them repre-
sent old companies that were incor-
porated in the years mentioned. Still
the number OF new enterprises has
grown wonderfully with each year,
there being only two years, 1897
and 1900, when the new enterprise
record, for the previous year, was
not surpassed.
These figures call for no comment
They are far-reaching in their signif-
icance. When it is remembered that
in ouly ID short years the number OF
companies chartered in North Caro-
lima has increased from u to 962,
then faint idea may be conceived
of the remarkable growth taking
place in this State.
The huntsville Eagle says it has
the information on pretty good
authority that the Southern Railway
has sold all it's rights OF way in Yancey

There has been much contention over

rations. If the Eagle. information
is correct it means that there will no
