Rev. DR.. Fraser Resigns.

Rev. DR.. A. M. Fraser, who has been
pastor of the First Presbyterian church
here for sixteen years, announced to
his congregation Sunday that he had
accepted call to the presidency Of the
Theological Seminary in Columbia,
S. G.
He will probably not enter upon his
duties until the next session. DR..
Fraser is one of the ablest and most
widely known ministers in the South
ern Presbyterian church, and has three
times previously declined this call. No
pastor in the South, perhaps, is more
popular. The congregation, in fact the
entire town, deeply regret his decision
to leave.

"The Burglar" A Beautiful Play.

Although the great master hath said
there is ''nothing in a NAME" the
world knows better. The name "Bur-
glar," which is to be seen at Beverly
Theatre, Saturday matinee and night,
Oct. Both, has doubtless cost the owner
of the play thousands of dollars. The
impression created by the title of the
play is misleading. There is none of
the blood and thunder Bowery style,
although one would not think so un-
less one had seen the performance. 1t
is more truly that style of dramatic
composition that in modern stage no.
mencIature is called society drama, and
is lightened with touches of pure
Thomas comedy, which comes out so
strong in his ''Witching Hour" Carl
zona," "Alabama," and, in fact, ev-
erything that he has ever written.
The opening scene is laid in the home
Of the wealthy. The happiness of the
particular home in question is marred
by the fact that the husband and faith
er turns out to be burglar, escapes ar
rest by compromise and goes away.
He is captured and in escaping from
Jail is supposed to be shot and is report
ed dead. The wife marries again, and
is the second act comes the news that
her first husband is not dead. The
burglar, bent on plumber, visits the
home of his wife, not knowing it is
such, and is discovered by his own lit
tie daughter, whereupon ensues one of
the most original scenes ever given to
the stage. The play is taken from Mrs.
Burnett's charming story, "Editha
Burglar" which Mr.. Augustus Thomas
has enlarged upon and turned into a
four-act play of great strength. The
production will be given with special
scenery and will be handsomely staged
in every way.

known citizens of the county, and one
of the few remaining Confederate vet

been growing feebler, and it was seen
that the end was not far of. MI.
Drake was born in Frederick county,
Nov. %, 1884, but the most of his life
was spent in Stanton. At the out
break of the war he enlisted in the old

1854, conceived the idea of organizing a
band. He carried out his plan and
formed what was at first called the
Mountain Saxhorn Band, but later be-
came known as the Stonewall Brigade
Band by virture of its being attached
to the famous command of General
Stonewall Jackson. Prof. A. J. Turner
was leader of this band and Mr.. Drake
performed on the cornet.

Good Roads Tourists.

The automobiles came, SO cars
strong. The journey is from New York
to Atlanta, under the auspices of the
New York Herald and Atlanta Jour-
nal, in their good roads movement.
They left New York Tuesday morning
and reached Hagerstown, Md, that
night, Winchester for dinner, here
that night They began to arrive at
about p. M, and then closely bunch
ed they came, only those who met with
accidental break downs being little
late. Before dark all were in, and such
a dusty crowd. They had sped like
demons over the pike, indeed they
looked like them, and when the great
painting, throbbing cars came up to
the door of the Beverley Hotel where
their time was taken by the official
scorer, they hardly seemed human.
The sight was a novel one, and one
long to be remembered by those who
had never witnessed a similar one.
Many of our local auto. club went down
to meet them. One of the members
went as far as Mt. Crawford to warn
them against simpletons of that vii
lage. On their arrival they were greet
ed by hundreds of our citizens who
had fiocked to the sidewalks. On
reaching their hotel they were treated
to some refreshments furnished by the
auto club members, which was unex-l
pected and much enjoyed. They left
yesterday morning for Roanoke and
the South.
Persons hearing of their approach
gave them the road, and their time
was fast. We have space only to
merely mention the incident, but it |
will be remembered as the first of
many, we hope, of its kind, and the
effect will, we also hope, befelt far and |
near in the interest of good roads.
