Mt. Luther M. TeSh to BaraCaS and
PhllatheaS.

Tuesday night, Mr.. Luther M.
Tesh, field secretary of the World
Wide Baraca Union, addressed the
members Of the Baraca and Phila-
thea classes and the public generally
on the subject of Baraca and Phila-
thea work. Mr.. Tesh gave up a
splendid business position in order
that he might devote his time to
this work in which he is so deeply
interested. He is thoroughly famil-
lar with Sunday-school organization
and the Baraca and Philathea move
ment in all it's plans and purposes,
and by reason of this and the expert
ence which he has had in the work,
together with his love for the work
and the great good it is doing, he
came fully prepared to deliver the
interesting, enthusiastic and instruc-
tive address that was a source of
much pleasure and aroused interest
IN Baraca, Philathea, and Sunday
school work generally, to those who
heard it.
Mr.. Tesh spoke of the growth of
the Baraca and Philathea move
ments since they were first origin
ated, and called attention to the pos
sibility of, and great opportunity
for their future growth and more
far-reaching influence. He impress
ed upon his hearers the Importance
Of being interested and getting 9TH
ers interested in class work. He
said, "Win men to your class; win
them to Christ, and put them to
work" ?"
The meeting was largely attended,
and the address of Mr.. Tesh will
doubtless be the cause of deeper
interest in the work of which he
spoke than even that which is now
evident.

Superintendent Wilson Resigns.

Prof. c.. w. Wilson, superinten-
tendent of Scotland Neck graded
schools, rendered to the board Of
trustees his resignation last Monday
night. The trustees of the East Car
Dina Training School at Greenville
last Friday elected Prof. Wilson bus
mess manager of that institution and
assistant professor in Pedagogy, and
he rendered his resignation here that
he might feel free to accept that po-
sition. Prof. Wilson stated to the
trustees Of Scotland Neck Graded
school Monday night that when he
was reelected superintendent here a
week before he had no thought Of
going elsewhere for the ensuing
school year. He said that he did not
then know that there would be such
a position in the East Carolina Train
ing School.
The board Of trustees accepted
his resignation and committee was
appointed to draw up suitable reso-
lutions expressing appreciation of
Prof. Wilson's work here and regret
at losing him. He has been super
intendent of Scotland Neck graded
school since its establishment six
years ago. He has done great
work here and has greatly endeared
himself to the people of the town
and community who will regret his
going away. Prof. Wilson is easily

State and he has succeeded in max
ing Scotland Neck graded school one

GOLDEN COMPANY
PUTS ON A NEW ONE

Jack Golden and his company put on
or over-a new one last night. What

Sometimes you do.
This one winds up with Sophenia

written and staged by Jack Golden.
TINS IS probably true and by the way
the audience applauded, Golden is
probably willing to claim his child.
Everybody has heard of the little

he blushed or not.
There were some others. Most of

MALIHiNI TREE MOVING
PICTURES VERY CLEAR
Audience at BONNIE Theater
Delighted With Local
Pictures.

There was large audience at The
Bonnie theater last night, eager to see
the malihini tree pictures. That audi
ence was not disappointed. The pic
lures were wonderfully clear, and each
incident in the great celebration of
Christmas Day was shown so distinct
ly that one began to believe that ne
was watching the real scene again.
First there were some dissolving
views of the tree and the crowd sur
rounding it. The people stood ont as
clear as life On the canvas. There was
the tree, the ladies at the tables with
the piles of presents, and then the chill
dren waiting to be let in and receive
the fulfllment of all their expecta-
lions.
Then came the moving pictures.
First appeared Captain Berger, leading
his band, and then the camera shifted
over until Judge Dole was shown max
ing his Introductory speech. Every
gesture was so realistic that one could
almost hear the first gentleman of Ha-
wall speaking.
Again the camera shifted, and the
Riddles were shown rushing 10, to get
their gifts. Father Christmas was
there, and nobody would recognize the
genial features of Charlie Crane under
the apt disguise of whiskers and fur
coat.
There were several scenes showing
the youngsters taking their presents.
1t was very much of a polyglot pic
ture and, perhaps, all the more de-
lightful that it did not show the rather
pinehed and sallow complexions OF
| many of the recipients.
Afterwards the screen showed the
panorama of the grounds with the tree
and the crowds of happy, laughing
| children. The subject was a difficult
| one, and the clear and expressive way
in which it is shown is another tribute
to the work of the local moving -pjctu ~
| magician, r. K. Bonnie.

STOCK MARKET
 VERY SLUGGISH Inauguration of New President Did Not Help Matters STOCK BROKERS PLEASED Taft's Inaugural Conveys the Idea to Wall Street That His Policy Will
 Not Be Rash Toward
 Financial Interests.
STOCK BROKERS PLEASED

New York, March 1.-The inauguration of the new President was received with passive satisfaction in the financial dis- trict so far as the operations in the stock market gave any surface lnd1catlon- The cheers of the brokers on the noor upon the announcement of the swearing in or Mir Taft were the most tangible expres- sion of the prevailing view. The point In the character of the new President which is most prized in financial circles Is that stated by himself in the appreciatfVe est1- mate of his predecessor published In periodical in the words, "his intense de- sire to reach practical results for good has made him at times impatient or the restraint of legal methods, while l have been trained as lawyer and judge, and am strongly imbued with the necessity for legal methods as il years on the bench are likely to make one"
 Wall streets appraisement of all the policies and intentions outlined in the in- augural address is tempered by the cor- sideration of individual temperament which the President thus himself recog- pizes The inaugural address contained nothing to surprise stock operators. Aside from the fact of the clear outline of in- tentions which the campaign discussion and occasional published statements since had given the circulation in advance or the document itself, and had given op-
 
 the commission house to study the text of the document before hand.
 The professional element in the specula- ton, therefore, would have had opportun- ity to act on their estimate of the effects Of the address several days ago. During that time professional effects to discount the inauguration consisted in the occa- sional buying of few stocks As it so happened that subsequent considerations induced the closing out of much of this purchase the professional traders found little left for them to go to as an ex- pression over the succession. The days dullness was attributable in no small part to the serious interruption of wire com munication with all parts of the country. The telegraphing by cable was freer than by land lines and foreign operations in this market, narrow as was it's dimen- sions. were of considerable effect The brightening of the Balkan situation prompted some buying of statistics and helped the show of strength here. There was another little squirt upon announce ment of the swearing in of the new Pres ident. for the present price vibrations were feeble, although the market yielded weakly at the last.
 The clearing of the steel trade situa- ton, reported by the organs of the trade, was not definite enough or followed by enough buying to cause any great impress
