Phones in Hotel.

Rockingham has one Of the
best all-round hotels in the State.
And now a still further big i'm
provement has been made in the
installation of telephones in each
room. A switchboard is in the
hotel Office, and the operator
there gives connection with the
regular Sou. Bell service and
long distance
M. S. Moore, of the Sou. Bell,
has been installing :the system
this past week, and hopes to
make final connection either to-
night or Friday. Fortunately,
when the hotel was built the
owners wisely looked ahead to
just such a time as this, and had
the building properly wired.

In our issue of Feb. 10th the Post
Dispatch had an editorial in refer
encc to the Republican fight for the
Rockingham postoffice. This paper
stated that it was reported that the
Executive committee had
agreed to sign no endorsements for
any candidate until the committee
as unit should give the various
candidates an opportunity to be
heard, and should then pass upon
the matter.
Mr. w. F. Long, Jr., chairman of
the Republican Executive Commit
tee for Richmond county, replied to
this editorial, and the letter was
published in full in this paper of
Feb. 23rd. In his letter he stated
that no such resolution regarding
endorsement had ever passed the
committee. Further on in his let,
ter he made reference to a conver-
sation he and M. L. Tucker had re-
garding the postottice, and then in
another paragraph said, Il do not
approve of any Republican trying
to air his dirty linen through the
medium of the press"
lnasmnch as Mr. Long singlet
out MIR. Tucker, the latter has seel
fit to reply; as a matter of fact, Mr.
Tucker was not the source from
which the editor of the Post-Dis
patch secured his original informa
ton regarding the resolution which
it was commonly reported had beer
agreed upon by the committee. Here
is the letter which M. L. Tucker ha,
given this paper with request tina
it be published; and, by the way
it might be well to say just here tina
Mr.. Tucker informs the editor, tha'
he is not now a candidate for the

MOVIES
"Fifty Candles" at Eagle

The Irwin V. Willat production of Fifty Candles" released by Hodkin- son which opened an engagement of two days at the Eagle theatre last night is one of the most thrilling and entertaining mystery stories ever shown in this city.
 AS producer, MT. Willat has again demonstrated his great ability as an artist of real feeling and tempera- ment. The picture moves smoothly and entertainingly from the opening scene until the final closeup which shows demure Marjorie Daw clasped in tho arms of Edward Burns who plays a very realistic and sympathetic lover.
 As We have already remarked, Eff ty Candles" is a mystery story that keeps the audience in a state of ex- pectancy from start to finish. It has thrills galore and enough sensational developments to give the most hard ened movie fan the thrill of his life
 Fifty Candles" was accorded an enthusiastic reception last night and should play to crowded houses for the remainder of it's engagement.
