being keenly aware of their
obli^tion to the State that is
training, to the communty in
which they have reared, and to
themselves as individuals in a
democratic society, and knowing
the difficult problems that stand
in the way of progress of the
different counties in the State,
and being eager to serve intelli
gently through a more accuate
knowledge of conditions, do
organize this club to be known
as “The North Carolina Civic

Association were elected and the
w^ork as outlined will be speedily
put under way. A typical illust

is observed in the plans of Nash

efforts to stimulate interest in
solution of local problems, the

Feb. 7.-Mr.
Edgar F. Phillips, the mail car
rier on Ulmer Route No. 2, was
in town this week and stated
that the patrons of his route are
sending some queer packages by
parcel post. Last Saturday,
among the other packages con
signed to his safe-.keeping for
quick delivery were two babies,
iiuie and one-half pounds of
pudding aiid sauage and a wooden
’ leg. The last named came in
very handy, for befoie Mr.
Phillips had. completed bis trip

Covernor Craig This Negro's Best
Friend,
Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 6,—Art
hur Johnson, the Pender county
negro under sentence to die in
the electJc chair. Friday escapes
death sentence through commu
tation by Governor Craig, a
commutation which comes to the
negro unsolicited. He killed his,
wife in a quarrel involving in-;
fedelity. He was unable to em
ploy lawyers and the attorneys
whom Judge Carter assigned to
defend the negro made no move
to have the sentence commuted,
although Judge Carter intimated
to them that he would indorse
such an application. The negro
was in the death cell without'
friends, and the Governor took it
upon himself to grant the com
mutation after a long distance
telephone conversation with
Judge Carter last evening.

WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW!
If you have ideas—if you can THIN
you the secrets of his facinating new profession. Positively
no experience or literary excellence necesscry. No “flowery
language” is wanted.
Tne demand for photo plays is practically unlimited.
The big fi!m manufactur .rs are “moving heaven and earth”
in their attempts to get enough good plots to supply the
ever increasing demand. They are offering $100, and more,
for single scenarios, or written ideas.
Nearly all the big film companies, the buyers of photo-
p)lays, are located iii or near New York City. Being right on
the spot, and knowing at all times just what sort of plots are
wanted by the producers, our Sales Department has^ a trem
endous advantage over agencies sit lated in distant cities.
We have received many letters from the big film man'
ufacturers, such as Vitagraph, Edison, Essanay, Lubin Solax,
Imp, Rex, ReHance, Champion, Comet, Melies. etc., urging us
to send photoplays to them. We want more writers and we
will gladly teach you the secrets of success.
We Are Selling Photo Plays Written by People
Who “Never Sefore Wrote a Line for Publication”
Perhaps we can do the same for you. If you can think only
one good idea every week, and will write it out as directed by us,
and it sells for only a low figure.
