A Genuine Musical Novelty.

Only few genuine and new musi-
cal novelties are sent this way, and
one of the biggest and best of these
that will be seen here this season is
'"The Flower of the Ranch,", by Jo-
seph E. Howard, the prolific over
night composer, which comes to the
Grand Theatre Friday night, No
vember 10th.
"The Flower of the Ranch" might
best be termed a musical melodrama,
for during the operation of the piece
there are a number of stirring eli
makes, intermingled with which are
nearly twenty OF the cleverest musical
numbers, and among which are some
real novelties. From musical
standpoint, it is fat with song and
chorus and together with it's melo-
dramatic setting, and genuine COM
edy situations, it is just little the
most intricate and delightful combi-
nation of this ever squeezed into two
hours of footlight folly.
The productions is scenically correct
in every detail and the electrical in
sertions are pleasing to say the least.
The acting company includes Jess
Harris, John E. Frank, J. M. Clay
ton, Chas. T. Mast, Walter E. Long,
Alva D. Simms, Mark Reed, Miss
Nellie Waters and Ellen James.

Tompkins for Minister to China.
Atlanta Journal.

A movement is once more on loot
among the friends-of Mr.. ID. A. Tomp-
kins, of Charlotte, to secure his ap-
pointment as minister to China, a re-
cent appointment to that position
having been withdrawn.
Mr.. Tompkins is recognized as one
OF the most capable and progressive
citizens of the South. The work OF
the Chinese post will be to large ex-
tent the development OF better trade
relations between the FlOwery King
dom and the United States. Millions
OF dollars worth Of our cotton goods
now find market in China every year.
Indeed, it is the leading market of
the world for certain grades Of this
commodity, and yet the possibilities
OF it's development are infinite.
The duties of minister or ambas-
sador are no longer confined to the
old-fashioned field of diplomacy.
With the growth and development OF
trade and commerce, the encourage
ment of these things is among the
most important duties which diplO-
matte representative can discharge.
Mr.. Tompkins is peculiarly we'll
qualified for this work, and will secure
valuable results. At the same time
he has a broad grasp on national
and international questions in gen
eral, and will be able to meet any
emergency which may arise in the
course OF his Official duties.
He has been warmly endorsed by
the people OF the South who appre-
ciate the good work he has done for
this section, and what he will be able
to accomplish in the post for which
he is urged.
His appointment would give very
general satisfaction

HELPFUL HINTS ON HAIR
HEALTH.
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused by CareIessness.

Dandruff is a contagious disease
caused by micrObe which also pro-
duces badness. Never use a comb or
brush belonging to some one else. No
matter how cleanly the owner may
be, these articles may be infected with
microbes, which will infect your scalp.
| 1t is far easier to catch hair microbes
! than it is to get rid of them, and a
single stroke of an infected comb or
brush may we'll lead to badness.
Never try on anybody else's hat.
Many a hatband is a resting place
for microbes.
If you happen to be troubled with
dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair
or badness, we have a remedy which
we believe will completely relieve
these troubles. We are SO sure of
this that we offer it to you with the
understanding that it will cost you
nothing for the trial if it does not
produce the results we claim. This
remedy is called Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic. We honestly believe it to be
| the most scientific remedy for scalp
and hair troubles, and we know of
nothing else that equals it for effect
] iveness. because Of the results it has
| produced in thousands Of cases.
Rexall "93" Hair Toic is devised to
Danish dandruff, restore natural color
when loss has been brought about by
disease, and make the hair naturally
silky, soft and glossy. 1t does this
becauseit stimulates the hair follicles,
destroys the germ matter, and brings
about free, healthy circulation OF
blood, which nourishes the hairroots,
causing them to tighten and grow
new hair. We want everybody who
: has any trouble with hair or scalp to
know that Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is
the best hair tonic and restorative in
existence, and no one should scoff at
or doubt this statement until they
have put our claims to a fair test
with the understanding that they

does not give full and complete salts

her father, the late John Bullock, of

Mr.. E. G. Flanagan had three

had been short distance in the coun-

The Seaboard Presidency.
Atlanta Constitution, 9th.

Now that the Seaboard Air Line
railroad has been rehabilitated and
reorganized, and it's financial affairs
are again in shipshape, it is of the
utmost Importance to the future OF
this splendid property that the inter-
ests back OF it shall make no mistake
in the direction of its policies and
management.
The Seaboard system is distinctive
ly Southern corporation, operating
in half q dozen states OF the South,
and serving almost exclusively the
people OF this section.
Conditions demand, therefore, that
there shall be placed at it's head a
man who thoroughly understands
this section and its needs, who is in
sympathy with its interests and who
will, the better, know how to shape
its conduct and policies to the best
advantage, both of the property and
its patrons.
In looking over the field of those
best qualified to fill this office one
name stands out in striking promi-
nence, overshadowing all the rest
that of John SHELTON Williams, OF
Richmond.
There is no man in the United
States more intimately acquainted
with this property and at the same
time with the people and the section
which it serves; and in him these es-
sential qualities are combined with
tried and tested ability in great cor
porate management. This was well
proveni in his former presidency of the
same system.
1t is pretty we'll understood that
Mr.. Williams is to be the man; that
Thursdays election, held in New
York, will place him in the Seaboard
presidency
There should be no mistake about
it, and failure in this program would
be mistake, possibly of serious con-
sequences, to the property.
In addition to his other splendid
qualifications Mr.. Williams is a man
OF that diplomacy we'll calculated to
preserve harmony and good feeling
between corporate and public inter-
ests.
1t would be we'll if more of this sort
OF men were placed at the head of
great railroad systems.
1t is a magnificent opportunity
that confronts the Seaboard, and its
controlling interests cannot afford to
neglect Or ignore it.

Our Railroads.
Raleigh State Democrat.

Raleigh State Democrat
We are glad to see anything good
come to the railroads in the South.
We are reminded to say this, follow
ing up some changes made in the
management OF the Seaboard Air
Line, as stated in the newspapers.
We are not in position to say how
these changes shall effect the future
prosperity OF the road. We trust it
will add both to the efficiency and
stability of the property. Too fire.
quent changes in the management OF
any enterprise are unfortunate, and
vet these changes are often necessary
in order to get upon the best and
most successful basis for operation.
The Seaboard, while its manage
ment has been subjected to frequent
and sometimes to what looked like
violent changes, yet it has always
rendered good and acceptable ser
vice, and has been spared some OF the
harsh and preiudiced attacks which
have been visited upon other enter
prises of its kind. This prejudice to
railroads, which have often found ex-
preston in our courts and in the halls
ofour Legislatures, are happily for the
State and it's future good name and
prosperity, coming to an end. We
think this change in feeling toward
railroads is to be permanent and
lasting, for the reason that conces-
sions have been and are being made
by all parties concerned.
The railroads are not always
wrong; neither are they always right.
And the same may be truthfully said
with reference to the individuals and
interests which have constantly and
zealously pursued them. They are
sometimes right, but often they are
wrong, unreasonable and unjust, in
Turing not only the particular inter-
ests they attack, but they do the
State discredit in the estimation
of the outside world. When rail-
road can go into court and get even
handed Justice like any other litigant,
and when in making laws our leglsla-
tors shall be influenced by the princi-
Piles of right and justice, then will we
have a condition of affairs that every
true, honest North Carolinian will be
satisfied with, for it will be worthy OF
our past history and the splendid
traditions of our people.
