"LEST WE FORGET"

All North Carolina has a right to a
feeling Of pride because OF the Meek
leEburg Declaration Of independence
and what it means. 1t is a proud
heritage which the Men OF Il
burg has given us. and despite the
sneers and skepticism with which IT
is regarded in some quarters it is held
as a glorious fact by an immense ano
overwhelming majority Of North Car
olinians, and has a part in the great
history of this State.
The anniversary Of the Twentieth Of
May is recognized as a legal holiday
in North Carolina. the date is borne
our flag and is honored through
GU the State. Each year it should be
made a day OF notable observance,
and there should be in Charlotte a
Statewide celebration befitting the
event which it would commemorate.
Though Charlotte and M~ecklenburg
day it belongs to the State and has
been recognized by the State. All
parts Of it should unite with Charlotte
each year in making the celebration
notable.
That it was honored in the breach,
rather than in the observance, in
Charlotte this year is an omission
which all the State hopes will not be
the case in the future, and the tone
Of the papers Of that enterprising city
is such that it is to be expected that
see such a celebration as will
see such a celebration as will give
be a source Of qualification to all
North Carolina. That this is the
spirit of the Charlotte newspapers
may be seen by what they say of a
little pleasantly on the part OF this
paper.
From the Charlotte Observer:

er "It takes Charlotte to
get around a difficulty. Without

From the Charlotte News:
The News and Observer thinks
that q Week Of baseball takes the
pang Of regret out of the reflec-
ton that the 20th of May was
not properly celebrated.
Baseball-especially il Char
lotte w1ns-is a good antidote for
such regrets. but all must admit
hat a mistake was made in fail
ing to celebrate the Twentieth.
we do not think that the day will
go by again without being fitting
ly observed.
From the Charlotte Chronicle:

most willing to exchange the silent woods for return of the old gaieties when an accident restored interest to his new life. He did not know know how he came to shoot so low, but the next moment pathetic little
 scream told him he hao nurr ilu- man. He ran to the spot and found Mercy, a girl of the adjacent moun- tain settlement, with an ugly wound in her arm. There was something so charming about her stoic courage that Jacks heart went out to her and never quite returned. From that moment the, society, lion courted the simple mountain maid. and de- spite her protestatfons that she was
 mot ezzackly his kine'," and that she wasn't eddicated enough to be his wife," he got her promise. Somehow the news travelled back to Jacks metropolitan circle, and his father, excruciatingly cultured, became ter r1bly annoyed at the idea of his son marrying girl of Mercy's caste. The next day he appeared on the scene to prevent the folly, and had politely indignant interview with Mercy, who merely defied her pros pective father-i1-law-and after at- tempting to commit suicide with a bullet-less gun, married Jack. Then came heartbreak and disillusionment. Jack brought her back to his velvet and gilt, where the lockwood maa ners and dress did not make her very popular. Manicured, jeweled fingers were pointed at her, scornful, deris- i've glances met her wistful eyes, and the laughter that she provoked descended upon Jack. In time Mercy divined that he regretted his act, and she wrote to her father to take, her back to the old home.

CONCERTS BY ELLERY BAND

During the past six weeks, since the National Conservation exposition first opened its gates, there have been received in Knoxville many men and women of national and inter- national reputation whose presence in the city has been acclaimed with all the honors due to their character and achievement. But while these great people have come and gone again. there has been modestly doing splendid work at the exposition one of the greatest musical organizations in the world. The excitement caused by the visits of the many prominent people who have honored this city by their presence has perhaps caus- ed many to lose sight of the fact that concerts are being given daily and nightly at the exposition whose spleador would cause popular furore in any of the great capitals of the world. The Ellery band oc- cupies q unique position in the mu- sical history of the United States; it is band so fine in it's artistic achievement that it's performancesN are easily on par with those Of the Metropolitan Opera in New York

"READY MONEY,

It is a pity that such small audi ence witnessed the performance yes terday afternoon and night of ''iteauy
 Money" the great comedy success
 winch attained such vogue ia New
 York and London through sheer
 merit. When James Montgomery erstwhile actor and author of sev- eral good plays, wrote this he evolv- ed something new in the plot line
 and the action runs swift and fast
 throughout.
 It is the story of Stephen Baird
 owner of a thought-to-be worthless
 mine, ."The sky-rocket," who is des-
 perately in love with girl whose
 mother ia his bright days looked fondly upon him, and. when reverses
 came, loked coldly. The girl remain ed true however. It was through the medium of Jackson Ives, man about town, who put Bair wise, when down to a two-bit piece, how to accumulate money. Have money and you get money, he declared, and everything will come your way; be broke and you are in bad.
 Corbett Morris had the role of Stepllen Baird, the young mine owner and he played his part we'll He was in the center of action with John M Kline, as Ives, very closely associat- ed in the limelight. Kline played a fine part, that of the care free man who smiles at difficulty and bridges over them. Miss Mary Sullivan had the role of Grace Tyler, the girl who stuck to Baird through thick and thin and carried out her part in a grace full, pleasing manner. Other roles in the hands of Bruce Elmore, Tom E..
 Jones. Robert Toms, Albert Mac Quarie, Wilson Stuart, Frederick J. B. Dunn, James Bowman, George Gray Charles Glocker, Thomas Benton Misses Ruth Farnum, Moe Reese and Majorie Conroy, were all carried out and interpreted as they should have been.
 There is a rich vein of comedy in Ready Money" and likewise a deal of what is called horse sense. Farci- cal it is true, yet it gets down to the human nature of things and carries out the old saying of "laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone

FIELDS MINISTRIES

What the Nashville Tennessean hass to say of Fields Minstrels:
 This is one time when it is not at all necessary to use that timeworn dramatic critical sentence: Tt was one of the best shows of the season" Everybody knows that Al G. Fields minstrels is the best to be seen.
 It can be said, however, that the minstrel show which MT. Field is offering this year is the best he has ever offered and that is saying a whole lot At the vendome Monday evening the audience was made to laugh until it seemed that the am- bulance would have to be called for some of them. The entire perfor- nance was made up, of laughs sandwiched in between a generous supply of songhits, including a number of new songs and several of those which will never be too old to be enjoyed.
 The appearance of Fields minstrels at the Vendome. Monday evening", probably scored the greatest success ever attained in Nashville since the aggregation of funmakers began coming, many years ago. The big show this year may be we'll regard ed as the last word in minstrelsy, and it is difficult to see what could be added to make it better show. From the opening sensemble to the final act of the olio, the performance proved one hit after another, chuch full of surprises, abounding in specialties, and bubbling over with real entertainment of the kind that would make man forget jumping toathache.

MUNICIPAL CHRISTMAS
 TREE ON LAKE FRONT

Chicago, Nov. 14.--For the first time Chicago's children of the street are to have municipal Christmas tree this year. This tree is to stand in Grant Park, facing the lake front, and is to be placed in position long enough before the holidays for it to be sprayed with water and make a spire of glistening ice.
 According to plans of the Munich pal Christmas Tree Association, the lake front is to be a blaze of light during the week. Christmas songs will be sung and presents distributed.

"THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME
 PINE"

Eugene Walter, in his dramatiza- ton of "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," by John Fox, Jr., has the herone June meet the hero, Jack Hale, at the rise of the curtain in the shadow of the great whispering pine, natures motif of a forest melo- dy, an idea which runs through the play like a sonorous theme i1 a Wagnerian score. A magnificent setting is made for this act, towering trees, clumps of rhododendron, and the falling from heights into pur- ling brook. The barefooted character of June foreshadows from the first the greatest of all the miracles of girlhood-the dawn of love and awaE- ening of true womanhood. The clever dramatist lends a shadow of jeal- ousy which threatens to cloud through the sunshine of the play, and cause bitterness between black and his mountain rival. With Isa- belle Lowe in the role of June, the play comes to the Elks theatre De- cember3, for one night only.
