Mr.. Lewis a. McMurran Leaves Today

Having been delegated as the per-

ton, Mr.. Lewis A. McMurran will

behalf of the two organizations the
entire student body of washington &

on November Is to attend the game
between the University OF North Caro-
lima and Washington and Lee on the
Casino gridiron. The matter has al
ready been suggested at Washington
& Lee and it is likely that the
students will come here.
An invitation also will be extended
the students of the University OF
North Carolina to come to this city
for the game. The presence of the
rival student bodies here would
mean a much more exciting game
and would have a tendency to draw
out bigger crowd for the occasion.
Newport News has, during the past
two years. gained quite a reputation
as a good football city and the officers
OF the Chamber of Commerce and the
Merchants Association believe that
the presence of the students will
mean much for Newport News in the
line of boosting the city.

David Marfleld at Norfolk.

David Warfield, the celebrated star,
will appear at the Norfolk Academy OF
Music next Monday and Tuesday and
Tuesday matinee and as many New
port News people will want to see
this splendid attraction arrangements

OF the local Academy, for seats or ap-
plication may be made direct with the
Norfolk Academy either by mail. tele-
phone or telegram. Mr.. Wariield will
appeal in THE Music Master" his
greatest success.
For five seasons the theater going
public in the East has paid substan-
tial tribute TO Warfield. whose stage
portraits stand boldly in classic out
lines. vet tenSer, and with poetic
insight.
THE Music Master" Is an American
play in three acts. IL was written by
Charles Klein. but the art of Beiasco
shows not only in the production and
character drawing OF some types. but
also in the very construction of the
drama These touches cannot be
overlooked by those who know Mr..
BelaS cc's unique art. For the real en-
joyment of those who intend seeing
the play, little of the plot will be un
folded The central character is the
music master-one Herr Won Barwig.
an educated German. He was a man
of considerable importance in the
musical world. being conductor of an
important orchestra, and a successful
composer.
Perhaps I thought more of my
music than my home" he wistfully
explains, when he finds his wife and
baby girl fed to America with false
friend. He who once won the plaudits
of cultured Germany. conducted his
own symphonic compositions, is now
forced to play the violin in a dime
museum. where "all the night long
they yell out eat 'em aliye!'"
AS he patiently awaits the coming
of his daughter. who is now in the
first flush of womanhood. his optimis-
tic reflections and observations OF
life provide a constant flow of delight
full comedy. Warfield flashes the
light of comedy from the depth Of
pathos. The story IS told with fine
regard for simplicity, although there
are many picturesque touches in
which Mr.. Belasco delights.

New Monthly Coal Record Established
for FlIlh Time This Year.
MANY COAL VESSELS TRADING HERE
With Increase in output Of "6iaek
Diamonds" There is Corresponding
Increase In Earnings Of c. 6 o. and
in Number Of Vessels Entering Port.

For the fifth time this year, ne"
monthly coal dumping record WAS es-
tablished at this port during the
month of September. ending yester'
day, the total output for the month
being slightly in excess of 100000 tons
The former high monthly record was
453.752 tons, dumped in August.
Superintendent of Terminals f. l.
Ford and his forces first smashed the
1908 monthly record last March with
a total output of 3SS.303 tons. This
was surpassed in May, when the
dumping totaled 40S.1S0 tons and in
June another record was made With
an output of 416.30S tons. In July the
dumpings aggregated 410.447 tons.
while in August they jumped past the
$4,000 mark and much surprise was
caused in shipping circles at other
coal shipping ports while the officials
of the road were naturally highly
gratified with the excellent showing.
Still Seeking "North Pole.y
Mr.. Ford believes that he viii yet
reach the 100000 tons mark. or, as he
calls it. the North Pole" and he and
his men are ever striving with that
end In view. Luck broke against
them during the past month as there
was not enough Coal on hand TO keep
tn docks going at the limit. while
several rainy days cut down the
dumpings.
With the increase OF the coal output
here there is corresponding in
crease in the gross earnings OF the
Chesapeake G. Ohio and an increase in
the number of ships plying in the
coal trade out OF this port The gross
earnings of the road through the
freightage on the amount of coal
dumped here in September was APP
proximately $650,000 and there is :
big profit for the company in hauling
the coal. Since the output for this
year will be nearly a 100000 tons
greater this year than last year the
company will have an increase of
more than 100000 in its gross
earnings this year over that of last year
from the coastwire coal shipments
alone.
Nearly Two Hundred Ships.
During the past few months there
has been big increase in the number
of coal vessels arriving here. The
vessels have taken coal to foreign
ports and TO New England and South
ern ports. New England imports
most of the coal from this port. near
ly all of the coal vessels going to
ports in that section of the coun-
try.
The total number Of vessels arriv-
ing here in September. not including
the regular coastwise passengers
steamers, was 1893. CT this number
there were IS steamers. SO schooners
and 50 barges. Twenty eight of the
steamers loaded full cargoes of coal.
81 of them took bunker coal. five
brought import cargoes and several
came for repairs. Practically all of
the schooners and barges loaded coal
cargoes here.

are pleading for harmony in the
republican ranks but we notice that
nearly every one Of them accompa-
nies his argument with list Of
candidates on which, in the esti-.

ought to harmonize. Honestly ex-
pressed the argument is, let's har-.
monize and harmonize on my can

We're great principle at stake, as
many have claimed, there would be
no justification in the talk for har.
mony, for every voter is supposed
to be honest in his conviction, and
he is justified in fighting for his
principles. Fortunately for the
cause of harmony there is no great
division on principles. The diyi-.
sion is, and has been from the start,
simply scramble for the offices.
This being the case the only thing
required is to unite on candidates
But to unite on candidates before
the primary is held is impossible
except through the exercise of ma
chine politics. It is contrary 10
the spirit Of the primary law which
contemplates that every aspirant
for Office shall have fair chance,
and let the voters decide. II is too
early now to talk harmony. The
primary should be the harmonizer.
Let every candidate enter the race
that desires. Then after the peo-
pie have made their selections,
whether the winners are your can
didates or mine, it is in oruer to
talk harmony, and the one who
talks it then can not be charged
with working for selfish interests

not establish a hunters reserve out

lords, and give few of the pro-

ilege of enjoying the sport2
