Carranzistas at daybreak arrived
within four miles of Neuvo Laredo and

AN INSULT TO WOMANHOOD.

We believe there should be law
enacted whereby pictures showing
white women and children should
not BE- allowed to be thrown on the
screen in picture shows patronized
by negroes. If the colored race de-
sires to patronize the MOVIES the
pictures should be OF their race. 1t
is an insult to our women and child
rem to have worthless negroes gaze
upon them in their acting and make
slight remarks of them. We believe
these pictures shown in colored
theaters has much to do with lnclt-
ing disrespect and perhaps.the un-
speakable crime. 1t certainly is not
doing any good, to say the least.
Each town and city could regulate
this by enacting laws that would
prohibit such. In the lust for money
these days we 90 too far in this
direction. Weo the South especially
should maintain our spotless record
of chivalry and profound respect for
our women. Let's maintain the
high standard at all costs hereafter.

The Leopad''s Spots. y

When it was first ANNOUNCED in
the dramatic papers that The
Leopard's Spots" in dramatic form
was soon to become an actual fact
Mr.. Dixon, the author of the book
who is also responsible for the
dramatization was beseiged by New
York theatrical managers who were
very. anxious to invest their capital
in so profitable an enterprise Mr.:
Dixon, who knew from past ex-
perience that to have absolute con-
troll of the play was essential to its
artistic success turned down all Of
fers and became a producing mana
ger. Judging from the success OF
the play the leading theatrical mana
gers will have to look to their laurels
in the future as Mr.. Dixon has spar
ed no expense to make The Loop
ards Spots" the greatest success OF
the present season.
The Leopard's Spots" will be
seen here at the auditorium the
night of Oct. 18th.

In the Great Earnum G. Bailey
Circus Spectacle.

The Barnum & Bailey Circus is
headed this way and assurance is
given of performances justifying the
title "Greatest Show on Earth" A
street parade will gladden. the hearts
of young and old in the morning. The
picturesque line will stretch nearly
three miles long and yield glad
foretaste of the glories awaiting IN
der the tent.
Two performances will be given, at
2 o'clock in the afternoon and at
o'clock at night. The spacious circus
entrances will open for the crowds an
hour earlier to permit observation Of
the 110-cage menagerie. Forty ele-
plants, herd of camels, three
giraffes, rhinoceros and a hippo
potamus are among the collection.
Barnum & Bailey have ransacked
the entire world for arenic celebri-
ties, and below and aloft, they give
assurance, this seasons performance is
the most painstaking and diversified
in the long history of the undertake
ing. "The Spectacle of Cleopatra" is
departure from familiar circus rou-
tine. It enlists the services of more
than one thousand persons and pre-
sents ballet and singing chorus of
four hundred.
There are hundred other revela-
tons with the Barnum & Bailey Cir
Gus this season. The Mikado's troupe
Of jiu jitsu wrestlers and Johannes
Josefsson's company Of Icelandic
gladiators enter into combats so des.
perate that spectators gasp; elephants
play a game of baseball. The human
freaks, too, have returned in body.

NORTH CAROLINA COUNTIES
AREPROGRESSlVE.

Las, Monday at the regular ses-
sion of the Board of County Com
missioners, Orange County made
an appropriation of $3.50 for the pur-
| pose OF cooperating with the State
Board of Heath in establishing
public health and hookworm cam
paign in that county. Randolph
and Davidson counties recently
made similar appropriations for the
same purpose. This makes ninety
nine 900 of the one hundred coun-
ties in North Carolina that hav e
shown sincere interest in the well:
fare of their people. Human lives
and human suffering have appealed
to the commissioners of these coun-
ties above dollars and cents. The
value of good citizenship has been
rated above live stock, in contra
distinction to the custom existing in
North Carolina in the days gone
by. This is a most remarkable situa-
ton in the health work of our State.
But for the failure of the Ashe Coun-
ty board to take favorable action it
could have been reported that every
county in North Carolina is interest
ed in its health conditions, and had
co.operated with the State Board of
Health, and provided funds to better
the health and sanitary conditions
of its people. ..,'~ ..>
No other state in the Union has
reported such a marvellous awaken
ing OF its people, and it is to behop-
ed that at the next meeting Of the
Board of Commissioners of Ashe
County they will reconsider their
decision and thus make the counties
of North Carolina unanimous in
their action and attention to health
and sanitary matters.
DR.. G. L. Prldgen, of Hookworm
Commission Of the State Board of
Health, is hoping to report before
long that an active health campaign
has been conducted in every county
in the State. This will give North
Carolina her usual place as the first
of all the states, of the Union to ac-
complish this.

This expression of the Holy Scrip

scholars of the day has seemed
rather far-fetched and on the order

That Truth is stranger than fic-

who will read the following descrip-
ton furnished by the historian:-"A
