rapidly growing importance.
HIGH CLASS ATTRACTIONS.
The pilgram band makes its first ac-
ulaintancc with the wonderful Riviera
life, through the Nice portals. Here Is
the program that runs day and night
through the three or four months or
the year when European and American
elites send forth their pleasure seeker.
The Casino Quilt out in the sea just as
the Saltair pavilion is) has a free or.
chestral concert each morning lasting
till noon; the orchestra numbers 80

and evening the concerts are charged
for, Il frame and a half, only 30 cents.

most artistic fashion. Elegant loung-

provides meals and drink all day and

prices. Our conclusion is that all these
departments. heavily as they are pa
tronized by the streams which pour in
from all the hotels, are conducted at q
loss. But they are the feeders for the
main attraction and the profit comes in
the roulette tables operated in a grand
salon just off the concert hall, the thea
ter and the restaurant. While the clas-
sic music is going on, or While the play
or the opera Is being enacted. the buzz
around the gambling table never
ceases. Considering the number of play
ers, the silence that reigns Is astonish-
ing. The chinls OF the silver, as the

All the blood in the body passes

minutes. The kidneys filter the blood,

PIKEvILLE NEWS.

The entertainment given last Fiji
day night at the school was big sue
cess and delighted a large audience
that had gathered from the town anG
surrounding country. A lengthy pro-
gram that consisted of recitations, vo-
cal selections, pantomines and comi-
cal sketches, including the extremely
farcical mock trial, was very cred1ta-
bly, rendered. The affair was as equal
| ly successful from a financial stand
point, the neat sum Of thirty dollars
being realized towards equipping the
baseball team.
What promises to be an event of nc
little interest is the joint debate ar
ranged for next Friday night, March
boys and representatives from Rose
| wood Academy. The question for dis
cussion is, Resolved, That North Car
olina should have compulsory educa-
tion,' the affirmative side Of which
query will be upheld by Rosewood and
the negative by Pikeville. No admis-
sion will be asked and the public. is in
vited to attend the debate, which be-
gins at 7:3O.
Miss Ila Rose, of Fremont, has been
spending a few days with Miss Lizzie
Smith.
Miss Annie Waters, whose school in
Greene county closed recently, has ar
rived to assist her sister, Mrs. J. w.
Hosea, in the millinery business.
Mr.. Dock Smith, of Florence, S. c.,
spent the past week with his parents
here.
The baseball team has organized for
the coming season, with William Smith
as manager and Cullen Langston as
captein, and expect to make other
teams hustle for the championship of
Wayne county.
Rev. J. M. Carraway failed to fill
his regular appointment here Sunday,
and the hope is heard expressed on
all sides that sickness did not detain
him.
Mr. Fred Helm, who lives a short
distance from town, is able to be out
again, after a sickness of sevarel
months.
Evil horse spirits in these parts Sc
lected Friday night after the enter
tainment as an opportune time for
their pranks, as no less than two runa-
ways were reported the following day.
One perverse animal, under ordinary
circumstances the gentlest of horse,
goaded on by loose fastening rivaled
the late ingenious Trixie, seeking to
escape the bewitching influence by as
cending the front steps of one of our
homes. The other, a double team, dis
played sG equal amount of horse
sense" when n hard pressed by an expe-
rienced driver at a late hour of the
night. The pair chose a spot seven
miles from their destination and sud
denly made for a solitary stump off
the road, which feat of equine plot
ting necessitated the stopping of the
homeward journey of seven exasper-
ated travellers and the retirement of
the two horses to nearby stables.

The Veteran Editor and Philanthropist

Who Has Always Loved the South.
Col A. K. Mcclure, the veteran edi-
tor, author and philanthropist, who,
although u Northern man by birth and
rearing, has ever been the abiding
friend of the South, with the unswerv-
ing fealty of hero and the unques-
tioning allegiance of a patriot, is now
on visit to the South, and is at this
time the guest of Atlanta. Of his pres

day says:

him with US. He must have known in
advance that he would feel at home
down here, for he has had warm
place in the hearts of the Southern
people for half century. He was our
friend wnen it required moral courage
for Northern man to come out in the
open and express such friendship.
He was closely associated with all
the public men of the past fifty years,
and the greater number of them were
his intimates and familiars. He gath
cred mine of information and remi-
niscence which has made him one of
the most delightful reconteurs. He is
a charming link with the past, full of
memories of the days that are gone,
and at the same time alert and active
as to current questions of politics.
He has occupied many important po-
sitions during his lifetime, but he will
always be regarded as, first and fore
most, an editor, and the days during
| winch he was in charge of the Phila-
delphia Times are among the brightest
in the history of American journalism
Southern institutions made a strong
appeal to him, and he was uniformly
on the side of the South in whatever
controversy might come up.
1t is hoped that his stay in Atlanta
will be pleasant. He has a host OF
warm personal friends who are de-
lighted to have him here, and it is
hoped that his stay will be long and
delightful.
