We do not know of a finer Boy
Scout than Capt. George A. Norwood
Jr.
He began early on his military and
scouting career, enlisting in the Colds
borO Boys Battalion at the age of six
years and served there until the Boys
Battalion enrolled with the American
Boy Scouts. He began as first Ser
geant of Co. A. and then Lieutenant

1T WAS HIS TURN.

Two motorists, having almost ruin
ed their tempers-and their tires-in
a vain attempt to find a hotel with a
vacant bed, were at last forced to
make the best of a small inn.
Even then they had to share a bed
which was-and on this the landlord
laid great stress-a feather bed
They turned in, and one of the pair
was soon fast asleep; the other was
not. He could not manage to dodge
the Jumps, and heard hour after hour
strike on the church clock, until
M, when he also struck.
He did this by violently shaking his
snoring friend.
Whats the matter?' growled the
other. ''It can't be time to get up yeti"
mo, it isn't" retorted his friend
continuing to shake him; 'but it's
my turn to sleep on the feather!"

| Mexico City, Jan. 5.-That General
Huerta intends to resign the Presi-
denc'- of Mexico, in the near future-a
rumor often denied by him in the
most emphatic terms-again is persist
emily reported in the capital. 1t is
SAID that he will take the field in per-
son against the rebels, after yielding
the Presidential office. Enrique Ger
ostleta, minister of justice, will be
| selected as his successor, according
to understanding.
SenOr Gerostieta is said to have
been offered the port folio of foreign
| aHa1rs succeeding Quendro Meheno
with the understanding that he assume
the Presidency. He has consented to
the plan, it is said, only on condition
that the deputies imprisoned by HUI
erta last October, be freed. He had
many friends among the deputies and
never has been in sympathy with Gen
eral Huerta's treatment of them.
Under the alleged plan, Senor Ge-
rostieta will hold the Presidency for
a limited period, turning it over to
General Geronimo Trevino, of Monte
rey, who on previous occasions has
been talked of as possible successor
to Huerta, and to whom, it is urged
Washington could have no objection
General Trevino was the friend and
trusted officer of Porfiorio Diaz. He
has kept aloof from the political de
Velopments of the las three years
The release of 26 deputies on New
Years day and the announcement of
the early release of virtually all of the
other deputies are pointed to as furth-
er evidences of the possible truth of
the report.
Persons close to Huerta are quoted
as saying that failure to obtain funds
in Europe is shaking the faith of the
President in his ability to cope with
the situation

GEORGE FAWCETT
MASTERFUL ACTING IN "THE
PRODIGAL JUDGE"

Of Mr.. George Fawcett in "The
Prodigal Judge, which has the boards
of the Messenger Opera House on
Thursday night Of this week, January
8th, we copy the following:
Julia Murdock in Washington, D. c.
Times, Dec. 8, 1879.
There are many things that are uIs~
usual in @The Prodigal Judge" the
dramatization of Vaughan Kester, S
novel that is being presented at the
Columbia Theatre this week by the
"Prodiga1 Judge" Company, Inc, with
George Fawcett in the role of the low
able Judge S1ocum Price, ex-member
of Congress, and some time major
general of the militia Of his state. To
begin with, it is a mans play. Of the
sixteen speaking characters in sThe
Prodigal Judge" all but two of them
are for men, and the two women in
the play are seen only in the first and
last of the four acts. The fourteen
men are not counted in with a score
or more of men who form the mob in
the quaint court house scene.
Then, too, the play is Ndifferent' in
that it turns the leaves Of the Book
of Time back to the middle thirties
Goldsboro weekly argus., 1914-01-08

Other characters in the play, it might
be said that Mr. Fawcett is himself
the play.
Other Roles Well Taken.
The work of James Seeley as Solo
mon Mehaffey, secretary and friend to
the Judge, is as fine a bit of character
acting as I have ever seen on any
stage, especially in his temperament
ally solemn moods. In his death scene
which might easily have been over
drawn and made maudlin, his acting
was exceptional. Little Master Bert
Burton, as Hannibal, the child about
is one of those delightful little chaps
totally unspoiled by whatever promi-
nence he may have attained as clever
child actor, and gives promise of fu-
ture success of no small proportions
Miss Elsie Herndon Kearns has a
sWeetly, but without the vivacity whic
sweetly, but without the vivacity which
her role demands. Mrs. Roy Burton
the mother of the boy actor, has the
small part of Mrs. Walker, the inn
keeper. Of the work of the other
lAClHUSIS VI CuS CoSI, CudC VI L dEClS
Brandon as Bob Yancy stands out
prominently. They say he has a pro-
totype in real life. His work in the
play is admirable, and there are 9TH
er capable actors in the supporting
cast.
Settings In Good Taste.
The stage settings, which include
three interiors and one garden scene.
are in good taste, and contribute a
measure of realism to the play.
During the week, the author of ''The
Prodigal judge" together with his
mother, as well as George Middleton
who dramatized the play, are in Wash
ington, comforting as to what changes
shall be made in the production be-
fore it is taken to New York for the
approval of the p1aygoers of the me
tropolis. A. G. Delamater, who is the
managing director of the play, is also
in Washington.
