HISS QAEEAKD COMPANY .- CELISDT TWO FAIR HOUSES Miss Ada' Meade made hsr sect nd appearance in i Charlotte - Saturday, mating and night, in. "Madame Sherry." Th2 cjn.pany appear'iig here was one of the main companies . on the- road, and not an imitation such as came out last winter on the heels of this same one. ; The show . was atteded by, two fair 7t& au 11 ences, and was thoroughly appreciat ed as a ' production deserving of -,. a liberal -amount of praise. , Since lis first opening! the show had met wicn success. The show is full of wit, com-, edy, ; good music and good dancing, with an extra touch added in : the scenery ond " sceftic effects. . " ' - Miss Meade played the part of "Yvonne," the ' -inn vent girJ. and was tippjctel hy ;in 5cr.i tnally gi.-d company. Miss " .May Phelps " as "Ptpita," .the jilted Spanish girl, was deserving of praise. Miss Phelps has a splendid voice, and he' portrayal of ' the "woman scorned" was; splendid. The . main dancing number in ; the show was omitted on account of a mishap. Miss Phelps and Ben Grin nell, as Phillipe, the president of the Janitors' Union, were to do their fa mous "dance of danger," but Mr. Grinnell ha3 a twisted knee, and therefore the number was left out of the program. Each member of the cast is deservin;.: nf a wcrd of praise, as ' each pne entered into the show with plenty of ginger, and not a mo ment was- there a drag from curtain to curtain. --Miss Meade . has a num,r! ..of friends in the r c ty. The company took an ;automobile ride over the county, and stated that the roads here surpassed- any that they had seen in the South. HON FRANCIS D.

Mr. "Winston will deliver the address at the county court house tonight at 8 o'clock. ; Mr. ; Winston is an exceptionally able public speaker, .... possessing an abundant, fund of knowledge on mat ters of importance' and being withal an eloquent man' who can keep a gathering", interested.", . It is seldom that he . comes here and a large crowd will doubtless be present i to- j night to hear him. ' He , is the guest of Mr. Thomas W. "Alexander at his home in Dhworth , - . i This will be the first public speech that Charlotte has been given this year that will not . have a certain amount of "I" in it. The former ones were for those who themselves were seeking offices. This" time the speech will-- be for someone else than . the speaker. . ; . "The Quake? Girl." The chorus girl has ; long .been a mueh-talRed-of and often maligned creature, but seldpm ' does one hear a word, good or til, about the chorus man. And yet, that he does exist in goodly numbers ; is evidenced by the fact that in the chorus s, of "The Quaker Girl," which' comes to the Academy of Music next Moday night. mere are .ueriy tvt iiiaiea vuices, aiiu they can sing and dance with all the grace and- beauty of the skirted mem beis, too. But there are not very many chorus men of American birth and rearing. .In ... fact, -the critical choosers pf "The Quaker Girl" chorus had to go to England for them. U. A. Smith, Bridgeton, Ind., had kid ney trouble for years, and was so crippled with rheumatism ; be ' could ' not dress without help. He started using Foley Kidney Pills, and says: "I began to get better at once, and now all my trouble has left me and I do not feel that I ever had rheumatism. I lilt well all night and . tho' 59 years old, can now do the ; work ' of a man of 35 years, 'j, I would like to be the means of others getting benefit from Foley Xidney Pills." Refuse substitutes.
