Who is JOHN SHATTUCK.
And What has Become of Him? A Free
Trip to Tho Cole Brothers Circus
Awaits him in GsIdsboro.

The head of the publicity depart
John D. Carey, who is not only the
possesser of many friends in Colds
boro, but, it is sa fe to presume,in every
city and big town in the county, wher-
ever he has done business.
Next to his friends and family there
is nothing worldly that Mr.. Carey
thinks more of than his collection OF
souvenirs, aud his one pet in the COL
lection is cheek he cashed in Colds
boro many years ago. It is a small
eheck-only for 25 cents-but it is the
way in which he became the possesser
of it that makes it the star of his col
lection.
1t was some dozen years ago that
Mr.. Carey was standing at the entrance
to the large tent here when a little
baretooted urchin came up and tender
ed 20 cent check drawn on one of the
Goldsbero banks and payable to John
Shattuck. The check was signed by
'ne of Goldsboro's most estimable
a lies and was as COED as gold.
"Where did you get that check ,Son?''
ask ed Mr.. Carey of the boy, whose
knowledge of business transactions
was limited.
II was working for lady, sir, and
she gave it to me and told me it would
ia ke me in the circus" he replied tim
idly, as he scented an irregularity.
well. [ guess it will, John, if you
will sign your name on the back of it,"
said Mr.. Carey, amused at the novelty
of the transaction. ''As a rule though,
John, circuses do not take checks, but
I'll cash this one tor you and allow
you a bonus," concluded the big
hearted John Carey, as he patted the
boys head and passed him in.
John Shattuck was a fortunate boy
that day, for Mr.. Carey not only gave
him the twenty five cents his check
| called for, but passed him into the
show tree, as interest, and then ma de
frequent trips to where John was seated
to see that he did not want for lemon
ade, peanuts and other circus entrees
Mr.. Carey was wondering, when in
Goldsboro a few days ago, what had
become of John. tor he must be man
now and would be sure of another
circus ticket if he met Mr.. Carey.

LAST NIGHST'S DEBATE
Thomas and HiIl are Greeted by a
Great Audience in the
Court House.

Hon. Chas. Randolph Thomas, OF
New Bern, the Democratic representa- :
tive of this congressional district and
candidate for reelection, and Mr.. E.
w. Hill, of this city, Republican nom
inee for congressional honors, met in
joint debate in the court house here
Monday night in the presence of agreat
gathering OF -voters-largely Demo
Gratis, of course, for there are not many
Republicans herea bouts.
Mr.. Thomas opened the discussion,
and for an hour he arraigned the Re-
its record with such telling effect that
the large audience gave vent to their
enthusiasm in frequent outbursts OF
applause.
Mr.. Hill consumed only 40 minutes
of his time in reply-or rather in talk
ing-and confined himself exclusively
to national issues, giving as his reason
that he was representing the National
Republican party and, as such, had
nothing to do with State politics or
State issues. Mr.. Hill, personally, is
very highly esteemed in g Goldsboro and
therefore the cordial hearing accorded
him last night was out of considera-
ton of the man and not in approval OF
his cause.
In his reioinder Mr.. Thomas COM
pletely swept away every argument
advanced by his opponent and sent
the people hons thoroughly satisfied
and exaberant for Democratic victory
at the polls in November.

intimately, the particular branch under

Roman Simplicity.

No opera singer ever wheedled his way
so deep into the heart Of a people as has
Marconi, the great italian tenor, into the
hearts Of the Romans He is simply idol
lied by them. and it Is probably due TO
the great simplicity Of his nature and to
his democratic ways, which the winning
of a large fortune has in no manner
changed. The gallery gods" speak Of
him famiuarly as their 'ChecCo,' a
dlminutive for his Christian name. and
think that no one like him ever lived,
so he sings for them now and then, al
though he no longer needs to follow his
profession, and although he knows that
his voice is fast leaving him Its wonder

Quite recently, one evening that Mar
conf was singing, there occurred a little
scene that could only have happened in
