gratifying to the friends of the
company for no better selection of
the three commissioned officers
could have been made. All
three of them have been privates
in the Company and by their
steady labor and faithfulness to
the Company, have risen to the po-
sitlon they now hold.
The Company is making a rec.
ord that is the pride of it's friends
and now with major, captain and
two lieutenants, it can and we feel
sure that it will, surpass what has
been done. The citizens of Nc
Crory and Woodruff county are
neglecting a good part of their
duty in not taking more interest in
the welfare of what may in the
near future, be the defenders of
our county, our state or our nation.

many friends in congratulating
the new officers and here's to it's

in the court house building, and
we suggest that the sheriff be re-
quired to look into these matters
and make such repairs as may be
necessary. A little money ex-
pended at this time, we think, will
be saving to the county for the
future.
We find that the county court
house for this district is in good
repair and well kept. We sug-
gest, however, that the fence sur
rounding the property should be
looked after and kept in good re-
pair.
So far as we have been able to
learn the collecting officers of the
county have been prompt in their
payments, and no delinquents have
been discovered by us il the in
vestigations we have made. We
have also failed to find that any
officer whose duty it is to make re-
ports of fines or other matters to
the county court have been dere-
lict in their duties.
We have made no particular or
special inspection since the con-
vening of our body into the con-
dition of our roads. AS our mem
bers come from all sections of
this district, we have made in
quiries along this line, and from
the personal knowledge and in
spection Of the members of our
body we are enabled to report to
your Honor that the conditions of
our roads are as good as could be
expected under all of the circum-
stances. Our road overseers seem
to have been conscientious in the
discharge of their duties, and no
complaints from that score have
reached our attention.
We feel that our people are sub
jects of congratulation with re-
gard to the unlawful sale of
liquors. This matter heretofore
has occupied a great deal of the
time and attention of this body
and also of this court. We are
pleased to report, however, that
our Investigations have shown that
this character of crime has prac-
tically been unknown in our dis
trict since the last sitting of this
court.
We extend our thanks to the
officers. of this court for their uni.
form kindness and cOurteSieS to us
during our deliberations, and fol
the promptness with which they
have responded when called upor
to render assistance. The sheriff
of the county we desire especially
to thank for his consideration Of
our comfort in our deliberations
and on account of his promptness
in executing processes issued from
our body he has avoided all delays
in the prosecution of our work
Respectfully submitted,

D. CAMPBELL, SPECIAL JUDGE.
We, your grand jury, empan-
nelled at the beginning of this
term of court, beg leave to sub
nit this, our final report:
We have had before our body
90 witnesses; have inquired into
Is charges of felony, returning 6
true bills; have inquired into 8
charges of misdemeanor, return
ing s true bills. The examination
we gave these charges was as COM
plete and thorough as we knew
how, and in each case, where the
evidence justified US, we have re-
turned true bills.
We have examined into the case
of every person confined in the
county Jail or on bail to answer a
criminal charge in this court and
who was not indicted, and in each
case have reported our finding to
this by Indictment or otherwise.
We have examined into the con-
-dition of the public PRISONS i'll this
portion of the county and find that
they have been well kept and their
sanitary conditions are as good as
could be desired. We wish TO
state in this connection, however,
that some minor repairs are need
ed upon the Jail, which is located

emotion caused by the suggestive
realism of the score was so tense as
to be painful. At other times the

the music were resistless.
Possibly the most popular episode

and dangerous accompaniment. 1t
was partly danced by Nine Fremstad

throughout as Salome), and partly
by Miss Froehlich. Nine. Fremstad

Opera "SaIome."

New York, Jan. 2"- For the first
time in this country Richard Strauss
musical setting of Oscar Wilde's one
act play, 'Salome." was given at the
Metropolitan opera house last night.
Wilde wrote the play "Salome" for
Nine. Sarah Bernhard. but the Lon
don censor forbade its presentation
there. Notwithstanding the fact that
the usual prices were doubled, the
audience was limited only by the ca
pacity of the Metropolitan.
The opera occupied over an hour
and forty-five minutes. It was pre-
|ceded by a concert, during which all
the stars of the Metropolitan Opera
company, with the exception of NJ
Plancon, who has a cold, and Nine.
Eames, who injured her knee last
might. were heard.
The scene disclosed singularly
beautiful one-represented a terrace
on a palace of Herod Antipas above
the banqueting hall, in which Herod
sits carousing with Herodias and his
numerous guests. Beyond. bathed
in moonlight, lie the Judean hills and
plains.
Amid these surroundings Salome
makes her imprisoned advances to
Jokanaan (as Wilde calls John the
Baptist. and at last. ale, dancing
before Herod, who has entered with
his incestuous wife and his pictures
quely attired courtiers, asks for the
head of the Precursor who had re-
fused her caresses.
There are three episodes in the
tragedy the conformation OF
Salome and Jokanaan, followed by
the suicide of the lovesick Narraboth
next the dance of the Seven Wells, y
danced by Salome, and last the pro-
longed and sensational scene in which
Salome kisses the CHASTITY head OF
Jokanaan.
The Interpretation of the opera
was artistic, even when most reals
tic, and the magic of the music com
posed by Strauss was fascinating and
compelling.
Alfred Hertz. at the head Of 10e
musicians, gave vivid and subtle
reading of the complex score. The
celestin. the heckelphone and other
new instruments introduced into the
orchestra by Strauss gave strange
land mysterious beauty to the com

Mr.. Hanford aroused a Memphis au-
dience last night as it has not been
aroused this season.
Mr., Hanford last night showed his
audience how really beautiful the

what master of this language
shakespeare was, and the combina-

Wonderfully.
Mr.. Hanford appeared last evening
as Marc Antony. the part he played
with Booth and Barrett 1t is a
splendid portrayal he gives of the
character. He has beautiful repose'
and dignity for the less vigorous
moments, he carries conviction in
person and manner at those points
calling for suppressed dramatic in
ltensity and he rises to his full height
in force and spirit at those times
when life and fire are demanded. His
orations over the body of Caesar and
again at Caesars funeral are mas
