ABOUT COTTON

Friends of DR.. Bialock See the Best
Ever and Enjoy Barbecue Dinner

The best acre Of cotton in Wake
County is on he farm of DR.. N. M.

Wake County. Nothing prettier was
ever seen, and the best judges say 1t
will make three bales of cotton. 1t

a prettier picture thar any conserva-
tory of dollhouse plants. Almost as
good as his prize acre of cotton Is MS
fine corn. It is almost as line as the
celebrated Bats acre, and experts say
would be as GOOD but for the excessive
drought. Cotton will stand dry wealth
er, but at a certain point corn must
have rain or it can not do its best.
Friends of Dr.. Blalock enjoyed an
excellent barbecue dinner, with cider
and FILINGS, on his farm yesterday, and
the editor Of this paper was glad
to be included. in the party.
panther Branch not only produces the
best Democrats (they were unmoved
even in the Populist reign), the best
cotton and the best corn, but also
raise the best pigs for barbecue. 1t
is hard to say which DR.. Blalock's
guests enjoyed the most-the fine
barbecue or the sight Of his fine crops.
Mr.. w. A. Simpkins, an authority on
both barbecue and cotton. says DR..
Rlalock's cotton is the best he has
seen except one-third of an acre on
his Cobb place in-Rhamkatte. DR..
Blalock denies hat Mr.. Simpkins's

- BREED THEATER.

The brilliant story of The Co1onel's Son. now the feature picture at the Breed. is interesting and deliehting the large audiences that are witnessing it, and. because of the strongly human plot. appeals to all. The great scene where the colonel discovers the spy is his Son and is already sentenced to be shot is made more dramatic by the father refusing to interfere. He is anxious, however. to have his son prove himself a man at the last. so secretly tells him that the bullets from the executing guns have been with drawn The young fellow, believing this. walks to his death in brave manner and impresses all with the fact that he is a brave soldier, in spite of his conviction.

The new season of the Poli Players is now a week old and the public has had an opportunity to form their own opinion regarding the scope of the manazement's plans for the coming season. There are necessarily many drawbacks and disappointments in getting everything started and Tn the hustle necessary to prepare an organ ization for an opening, and naturally the point aimed for has not yet been reached. but the opening production furnishes an illustration of what can be expected when everything is per fected.
 For the second week, beginning Monday night, the stock company Will present what the management conh- dently expects will be one of the most pleasing and satisfying stock produc- tions vet made in this city. The play selected to clinch the good opinion the people already have of the company IS Alias Jimmy Valentine, one of the very best attractions within the reach of stock company at the present time.

LYCEUM THEATER.

Pulpit press and public have united in singing the praises of The Fortune Hunter which will be presented at the Lycsum theater. New London. next Monday night.
 This work of praise only supple ments that marked Ny every man. woman and child who has witnessed Winchell Smiths delightful comedy of money hunting. The first minister en- rolled in the army of patron boosters for this wholesome play was the Rev. Percival Howson Barker, pastor of the First Congrega tionaI church in Bay wood. one of Chicago's select suburbs. Dr. Barker. after seeing a performance of The Fortune Hunter. in his sermon said:
 This clever comedy is a great in terpreter of the heart and contributes much 10 the enjoyment and worth of life" Parker H. SercOmb in a lecture delivered at Kimball hall. in Chicago, to a select audience. declared that the gospel of work taught in The Fortune Hunter. if followed by our wealthy young men. would prove boon to the nation With all the good sense and sound logic. the play is full of humor and is dotted almost continuously by outbursts of laughter and when the curtain falls everyone regrets that the time of the play cannot be prolonged
