DIXoN's play, "The Sins of the
Father, Is n powerful presentation
OF great evil that is growing less
and less in the South. But it would
be improved very much if the father
would Kill himself in the last act.
That is the fitting and necessary
penalty to point the moral in the
strongest possible way.-News and
Observer.
Not more so than for the son to kill
himself. Even in the face of the terri
ble revelation that the young woman
he had fallen in love with had negro
blood in her veins4and to all intents
and purposes it was true so far as he
was concerned Notwithstanding what
he believed to the contrary he per
sisted In his course and the love max
ing scenes that followed we're posi-
lively nauseating under the circum-
stances. This to Us was the most
dIsheartening and disgusting feature
OF the whole play-an insult to every
woman who looked upon it. True,
1t turned out that she was ~ pure
blooded as he was but both were
living under the awful suspicion to
the contrary, vouched for by the sup
posed father and the alleged mixed
blood mother of the girl. Ii this part
of the play does not teach the very
thing that the author is fighting
against then we have failed to read

NOT KNOWN In NEW BERN.

The following article was clipped
from the Charlotte Observer:
Roanoke, Va. Sept. 2G.-Z. j
Caldwell. OF New Bern, n. C., travel
ing in his touring automobile over
the national highway. ran over some
chickens and pigs at Rocky Mount:
Va. this evening. Upon his arrival
at Roanoke he was arrested on re-
quest OF the Rocky Mount officials
and taken to police headquarters. 1t
is believed Caldwell will arrange a
compromise and proceed on his way.
He has not been locked up
Mr.. Caldwell may have resided
in New Bern at some time during the
past few years, but inquiries failed to
prove his identity. 1t is presumed
that he was so excited by the out
come of affairs that he gave the
name of the first city that he thought
of as his home etown.-New Bern Jour
nal.
We opine that this gentleman was
not excited in the least. On the other
hand he was entirely cool and clear
headed. Finding himself in the en-
barrassing situation that he was, ar
rested on the grave charge OF reck-
lessly running over and wantOnly
killing presumably some chickens
and pigs, he merely gave a fictitious
name instead of his own and the
place he halls from. Smart Mr..
