HANDSOME GOWNS
OFFRANCES NELSON
Have All Come Into Her Possession
by Actual Purchase.

The handsomely dressed lady who
was overheard to remark the other day.
In the course Of discussion regarding
the beauty Of the gowns worn by
Frances Nelson and the evident taste
of the actress In selecting them. why.
of course, she rents them. II would
take a small fortune for q wardrobe
such as she wears" will be interested
to learn that not an article OF apparel
worn by Miss Nelson this season, from
the handsome $500 tiger-skin coat to the
10-cent handkerchief worn in Mrs.
Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" has come
into her possession except by actual pur-
chase.
This. Of course. applies only TO modern
plays, for from time immortal the man
agement has furnished the apparel for
costume plays. or plays Of period In,
which modern dress could not be worn
Indeed, IL 1t were not for these occa-
sional weeks when the actress is relieved
from any expense for clothes she would
either go into bankruptcy or the man
ayers of an enterprise would have TO
materially increase her salary.
few shows will be found from time
to time where as a slavey or other hum
bic parsonage the clothes item will be
minimized. but this win hardly Offset
the excessive expense TO which an ac-
tress Is put in plays such as Her Great
Match" where she must provide many
gowns such as would be worn by a mil
lionaire's daughter when sassociating
with the royalty of Europe.
Furthermore. but little OF an actresses
effects can be worn a second time in the
same city, as critical observers are sure
to recognize and comment upon. the play
in which they were formerly used. The
same thing applies to hats and. to
limited extent. to lingerie. gloves. and
other articles Of feminine adornment.

CHASE'S NEW THEATER MORE
THAN FULFILLS PROMISE

IN the old Chase's. and q remarkable
feature of the seating arrangement Of
the new house is the fact that the same
style of chair Is used in the top bal
cony as on the orchestra floor
Although there are three levels in the
new theater, the upper balcony requires
no greater ciip,b than does the mezzanine
balcony in the ordinary theater, for the
orchestra floor Is sunk below the level Of
the street, and the mezzanine is only q
few steps above the street level.
The walls Of the new theater are COW
cred with red silk tapestry. and the thea
ter curtain is Of beautiful red plush with
heavy gold fringes. Behind this curtain
Is the massive steel curtain. operated
against fire.
The ceiling Of the new theater is espe-
cially artistic, there being wonderful
mural painting surrounded by opalescent
globes. In lieu OF curtain chandelier.
Instead Of insanitary carpets, the thea
ter Is covered with a new invention. called
'kompolite." which Is said to be germ
proof. also noise proof II is OF pinkish
hue and is as pleasing to the eye as In
the lack Of noise pleasing to the ear.
To the rear of the immense promenade
and also below the level Of the street
there is wonderful region of dressing
rooms. employees locker rooms. work.
shops, and animal quarters
All the dressing rooms are equipped
with the most modern makeup tables.
and there is hot, cold. and ice water
in each day and night The elevators
have been installed for the exclusive use
of the actors in reaching the stage level.
New inventions and the latest appliances
are in evidence everywhere behind the
stage, including sectional floor which
will abolish the necessity for cutting
traps" and a wonderful celluloid switch
board from which all the lights in the
theater are operated.
All in all, the New Chase's may be said
to represent the very last word In thea
ter construction from the standpoint OF
convenience to performers as well rs 10
public: from the standpoint Of sanitation
both before and behind the curtain, and
from the standpoint OF beauty, elegance.
and art.

Canadian Reforcstatfon.

From the United States Consular Report
In 1911 the Ontario Legislature passed
representation act which empowered
any county council. with the approval
of the Minister of Agriculture. to pass
bylaws for acquiring land suitable for
reforestation purposes. for planting trees
on the land so acquired. for protecting
the resulting timber. for the manage
ment of both the land and the timber
and for raising money to an amount
that will not increase the existing LA
bility on this account at any one time
to more than $4,000. The intention of
this legislation is to encourage the util-
ization of otherwise waste lands in a
way that will at once make them q
source OF revenue and produce an amel-
ioreting effect on the climate OF the To-
cality.

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF.

The Democratic Ways and Means
Committee In Congress have an
nounced that they will thoroughly
revise the tariff schedule by schedule
when the special session of Con-
gress meets. They propose to have
meetings three times a week, begin
ming in January, 80 they can have
the schedules framed up ready to in
troduce in the special session when it
meets in April. One day at the end
of January will be set aside for a
hearing of those interested in the
free list and the administrative feat
ures of the proposed tariff legisla-
tion
The Charlotte Observer is growing
apprehensive over the proposed re-
vision of cotton goods of the kind
made in the South. The proposed re-
duction is sc per cent which the OBJ
server thinks is entirely too much,
and that paper is calling on the
Democratic Congressman from the
South not to go too far in this mat
ter. The Observer further notes that
if the mills are injured, it would
surely react to make the price of cot
ton go down, and thus hurt the far.
mer of the whole South.
The Observer is talking in it's right
mind now, but we are awful sorry
that the Observer, the cotton mil
men, and more of the cotton farmers
didn't take this view of the matter
before they helped to elect a Demo
cratic Congress which was known tt
favor such reduction

OVERMAN AND THE PIE HUNT.
Frs.

Senator Overman has told the
Washington newspaper men that he
does not mind hearing from the boys
at home who want jobs, but on the
other hand, that he wants to hear
from all who want Office and that he
will try his best to place them on
the Federal payroll.
Senator Overman will be wanting
office again himself before very long,
and he doubtless has a very tender
feeling for all who want to connect
with the Federal pie counter. And,
since the Federal Government will
pay the salaries of all that Mr.. Over
man can get jobs for, it will be an
easy way for him to place Office
holders and their friends under obli-
cations to him who will come in use
full when Ex-Governor Glenn tries to
push Overman away from the pie
counter two years hence. Overman
now even wants the fourth-class post
masters taken from under the pro.
lection of civil service so he can have
all those jobs to give to friends who
will support him.

We are printing on another page
this week President Taft's second
message to the present Congress
which was read In both Houses last
Friday. His second message deals
with fiscal, judiciary. military, and in
suIar affairs. The President pro-
tests against reducing expenditures
for the navy and insists that provis-
ions should be made for the con-
struction of at least two battleships a
year. He does not think the Fill
pinos are ready for self-government
and it would be unwise to turn the
reigns of government over 10 them
at this time. Mr.. Taft discusses the
progress that has been made on the
Panama Canal and recommends a
high Office for Colonel Goethals.
AS to the tariff, the President says
that a new Congress has been elected
on a platform of tariff for revenue
only. and therefore will leave that
problem for the Democrats to solve

SHOULD THE UNITED STATES
WITHDRAW FROM THE PHIL
IPPINES?

For number of years the major
ity of Democrats have favored turn
ing the Philippine Islands over to
the natives and allow the Filipinos to
work out their own autonomy. The
Filipinos have believed for some time
that If the Democrats were to get
control of the Government that then
the United States would give up their
claim to the Island and give them
their own government. When Will
son was elected they built big bon
fires and in other ways celebrated his
victory. 1t may be that we do not
need the Philippines, except a coaling
station at Manila, but are the Fill
pinos capable of self-government, and
should we throw them back on their
own resources until they are?
~ We have had control over the
Philippines only fifteen years, and
many Of the inhabitants are still
semi-barbarious, if not worse.
The negro race has been in the
United States for many generations
where they have had every opportun-
ity to learn from the white man
something of modern government.
They have been free for nearly fifty
years and have had the advantages
of good schools Still the Democrats
say the negro here is not competent
of casting a vote intelligently. Ger
tainly if the negroes in this country
are not competent to vote, the Fill
pinos are not competent to run al
entire government Would it be
showing Christian-like spirit to
withdraw our protection from the
Island at this time?

The citizens of High Point made a
strenuous effort before the last Leg
islature to have a new county estab.
lished out of portions of Guilford and
Davidson Counties, to be known as
Piedmont County, with High Point
as the county-seat. Next January
the same citizens will appear before
the Legislature asking that "Aycock"
County be established out of portions
of Guilford and Davidson. OF course.
they are depending on the friends of
the late Ex-Governor Aycock to rally
to their support. There are now an
even one hundred counties in the
State, and the promoters of new
counties will have no easy job ahead
of them.
