 There is not a responsible theatri- cal manager in this county who l,s made production outraging decen- cy.

Some Feminine Talk in "Sham'
eBv Irene (. Womack 1,

Clever bits Of feminine logic are spfihkled thfonShout the three acts of
 ohafa, the comedy in which Hen f'elta Crosnan has just finished T lhfee weeks engagement al Powers theater in Chicago.
 When Katherine Van Rjpelz after :, Aoath spent in eXtrayagance, finds herself at 30 with an inheritance of i'&uflouS tastes and a pitiabIy small income with which to gratify them She argues to herself hat the world owes her a living such as the one to which she has been accustomed and she immediately devotes every. gilt Of mind and person to seeing that she receives what is due her. ha theflne argument is like this:
 What is girl like ne to do? Live in a hall bedroom when there are SD many people in New York who have more than they need?"
 such course naturally leads to diff iIcultles. Necessities and comforts and even luXuries may be had on credit, but the first of the month, with it's duns and collectors, is a disagree able time for those who cannot pay the fiddler. However, Katherine, with rare feminine tact, manages to get rid or the unwelcome callers. Her cousin Clementine, who lives with her is all atremble
 But what will you do in the end? Next month";
 Katherine laughs. Next month? Oh, that's a hundred years off vet, I may inherit a fortune or take prize Tn lottery, or marry a millionaire, or do any one of dozen joyous, ex- citing things
 Katherine is not a bad sort; she is just thoughtless. "Of course I'd love to pay the bills,' she tells her cousin Clem. Apart from everything else, it would be such a change But what are you to do if you haven't the money? If I'd had a thousand month, instead of two hundred, people would have pointed at me on the street as the woman who paid her bills by telegraph
 When Katherine desires a new set of furs she purposely lays her old set over a chair when her aristocratc i aunts come to call.
 My dear Katherine one Of them exclaims with gesture of disgust, | whose are these?'
 Mine, Aunt Bella
 Do you wear theseo'
 Yes, Aunt Bella. They are not 1 or curiosities.
 Wear them in public?"
 Yes. Isn't that the general GUS tom?' Katherine asks innocently | You don't wear your furs when you go to bed do you?''
 And as the result of this interview | Katherine becomes the possessor of new set of furs, with a hat to match.
 When Katherine's aunts see her at the opera in the company of of an unknown man. whom thy afterward discover to be only mining engineer from the west, she comes in for very severe criticism.

 Monte Buck, whom her aunts wish Katherine to marry, is not what one might call prize beauty. Referring to him Katherine says.
 or course rich man has the privi lege of being ugly, but Monte Buck. abuses it
 Tom Jaffray, speaking of love to Katherine says:
 You ve heard of it haven't you?'
 Love? Oh, yes I've read of it in novels
 Alter Tom Jaffray has spoken seri- ously to Katherine about his obserya- tons of life in New York society. and his desire to get away from it all he says:
 You didn't know was such a sen- devil, did you?'
 With a mixture of mischief and ten- derness. she replies:

 Katherine determines to start anew by paying all her debts, and to that end decides TO sell the family heir 'O"'i AhC PCdIl HeChldCe.

 This exasperates Katherine.
 My aunts. When I get to heaven, St. Peter will probably meet me at the gate and say: Katherine, your aunts have been here and told me not to expect you
 When Katherine confesses to Jaff- ray that her whole life has been sham she tells him how she once ob- tained beautiful lamp from a Scotch admirer by casually edmiring it in the window and then permitting herself o be reading by candle light the next ime he called. Jaffray answers dry y:

Especial to News and Observer
Mebane n c., Oct. 1.-THE Mebane
tobacco market was launched today
by its opening sale, and to express 1t
respect.
The Mebane Tobacco Warehouse
Company, composed Of the business
men Of the town of Mebane, built a
large, we1l-arranged, modern, up-to-
date warehouse and were fortunate
IN getting Mr. W. NJ. Miles as pro-
prietOr. Mr.. Miles has had twenty
two years experience in the ware
house business; eleven years with the
Watts Warehouse, Reidsville, II. c.,
and the past eleven years with the
AGREES Warehouse, Danville, Va, and
was considered one Of the most pop
ular warehOusemen in Danyille.
The first load of tobacco for the
opening sale drove in at o'clock a.
~. Monday and by Monday nigkt
there were thirty wagons in the ware
house. and when Mr.. Don Gwyn, Dan
vile, Va, the prince of auctioneers,
sold the first pile of the weed there
had been unloaded in the warehouse
SeVenty-f1Ve wagon loads of tobacco;
IN this, Orange, Pearson, CaSwelI and
Alamance counties were represented.
Several visiting warehousemen from
Durham, Burlington and other towns
We're on the sale and congratulated
Mr.. Miles on his opening sale. Mr..
Miles IS very popular with the ware
mouse prODrletOrS, who are his COM
pettOrs, because they realize that he
is fair competitor and, consequent-
ly. they have the kindest of feelings
for him
Mr.. Glass and Mr.. Graves, repre-
senting the American Tobacco Com
pany and the Continental Tobacco
Company, were present There were
numbers Of buyers from other mar
kets, in addition to the local buyers
present.
The sale was a success in every re-
spect. There was a total Of 32,415
pounds of tobacco sold at an average
OF $500 per 100 pounds, which ia said
to be the highest average of any open
ing sale on any market IN North Car
Ollna Tor this season.
Ihe sale was a success in every par
tlcular. The buyers were pleased and
the farmers, as unit, were delighted
OF al OF the tobacco sold, there was
not one dissatisfied farmer and not one
pile of tobacco was taken in and
every one expressed themselves as
pleased and delighted. Mr.. Brice
Warren, who is one of the largest and
one of the most prominent farmers in
Caswell county, expressed the senti-
ment of the farmers in this community
when he stated that he was pleased
and fully satisfied and got all that his
tobacco was worth, and further stated
that he and the farmers of this com
munity felt kindly to the American
Tobacco Company and their owners.
1t is indeed very gratifying when
the farmers express such kindly feel
in IS for corporation as large as the
American Tobacco Company, and it
shows conclusively that we have with
us an era of good feeling''
Yours truly,
w. E. WHITE.
