Victor's Band at Opera House
This Evening.

Victor's Royal Venetian Band,
which will play at the opera
house this evening, has filled
engagements in veral
towns in this State with
in the last week or so and the
press comments have been ex-
ceedingIy favorable. 1t gave a
concert in Fayetteville last Fri
day evening and Saturdays OBJ
server said that with the single
exception of Sousa's Band it was
the best band that had ever play
ed in Fayetteville and that some
of the individual performers
were superior to any in Sousa's
Band. At Chapel Hill, where
Victor and his band appeared
last week, the people were de-
lighted with them and arranged
at once for a return engagement.
There has been some criticism
about the price of seats at the
opera house for this concert.
/ When this band gave it's concert
in Wilmington reserved seats
sold for $3.50. There have been
free and hard kicks on account
of the fact that some Of the
cheap attractions have been very
sorry. But one cannot reason,
ably expect to have the privilege
Of seeing and hearing something
| really good here at popular
prices. 1t is of course impossible
to secure really frst-class attrac
! tons without considerable ex
! pense, and it only fair that ont
I should patronize the good ones O
! quit kicking about the cheap in
l different ones. If Victor's Ban'
is what it is cracked up to be
2 is we'll worth the 81, or the Z
cents or the so cents-it depend
: on where you want to sit-tha
it will cost you to hear it.

DR.. H. T. Pope Injured in a Run
away-An Operation May be
Necessary. .s..

DR.. H. T. Pope was thrown
from his buggy in a runaway
Tuesday morning and sustained
internal injuries the extent of
which has not yet been deter
mined: His condition is more
favorable todayanditis hoped that
his injuries are not so serious as
at first was feared.
The runaway occurred about II
o clock Tuesday morning two
miles west of town. DR.. Pope
thinks that some break about the
harnes struck his horse and
frightened him. After the
horse had run about a quarter of
mile DR.. Pope was thrown
from the buggy, striking on his
head and shoulders and being
stunned into Inconsistencies.
He remained partially uncon-
sciOus for several hours. Some
people who were picking cotton
in a field near the road, on the
old King place, went to his as
sistance as quickly as possible
and cared for him as we'll as they
could until assistance was sent
from town. AS soon as word was
brought to town Drs. N. A.
Thompson, R. B. Beckwith aud
| 7. c. Johnson fastened to DR..
Pope's relief and brought him to
the Thompson Hospital, where
he has been since, though it is
expected that he will perhaps
be able to be removed to his
home tomorrow. With the ex-
ception of a slight abrasion on
his nose there were no external
injuries, but he bled consider
ably from his ears and it is
feared that the injuries in his
head willyet require an operation.
DR.. D. w. Bullock, of Whining
ton, was summoned yesterday,
and he thought that an operation
would perhaps not be necessary
if DR.. Pope rested easily until
today. If an operation becomes
necessary he will be taken to
Wilmington.
Some distance beyond where
DR.. Pope was thrown out the
horse got loose from the buggy,
which was badly broken, and a
little farther he stopped of his
own accord. The horse was not
injured.

The Kingdom

! in the dreamy Autumn time,
| When the air is crisp and gold
! And the brooks are chanting rhyme
To the sprites their banks enfold,
There is happiness and joy
In the Kingdom Of a Boy!
Through the tangled wood his shout
Startles squirrels from their play.
See the rabbit circle out
Bounding ball of white and gray!
All the world is but a toy
In the Kingdom of a Boy!
Where the grapes are hanging low
And the plums are ripe and red,
Rustlingly his footsteps go
To the woodlands leafy bed.
Wond'ro holes his peppers spy
Where the chipmunk makes his nest
Where the red-head dwells on high,
Where the partridge snuggles best.
All, the wonderland of JOY
In the Kingdom of a Boy!
Where the brook sends murmurs up
He is bending Ger the rill.
From his hand, dripping cup,
He is drinking to his I'LL.
Now his bobbing ships deploy
In the Kingdom Of Boy
All he sails them with the tide
With confidence supreme,
With assurance they will ride
Safely down the throbbing stream.
All the Fates their grace employ
In the Kingdom of Boy!
And the ships glide onward still,
Past the river and the bay
Where the winds are rough and chill
And the hidden dangers prey.
Seel The ships lie. wrecked at last,
BY the oceans sullen roar,
For the boyhood days are past
And the Kindom is no more!
Naught but Memry holds the key
20 the old-time ecstasy!

Unsullied by the year.

Lay all about her feet
All, you who know the call of death
Must speak to each on earth,
So live that, dying. all shall know
The virtue of your worth!
And though 1t be in sere or youth
The camel kneels for you,
In time of raging storm and stress
Or when the skies are blue,
Be ever ready, pure and sweet,
And free from conscience fears
Aye, beautiful and lustrous still,
Unsullied by the years!
