What have you done aud what are you going to do for the comfort and happiness of the "new teacher" who has come or is to come to make her home in >our neighbor hoo' during the coming months? These teachers have under their immediate are and direction the children from youf"bome for a large part of every day, for several months in the year. If they are in earnest about their work their lives go out to these children with a forceful impression aud influ ence The children in turn receive these impression and this influence and reflect them back into -the home. Isn't it clear then that the school and the home must ever work together for the best good of the children? You can't afford not to be on the best of terms with your children's teacher. You can't afford not to extend a band of welcome and cordial support in every schools undertaking.—The Progressive Farmer., A Mill Carrier's load Seems heavier when he has a weak back and kidney trouble. Fred Duchren, Mail Carrier at Atchison, Kas., says: 'I have been bothered with kidney and bladder trouble and had a save re pain across my back. Whenever I car ried a heavy load of mail, my kid ney trouble increased Some time ago, I started taking Foley kidney r* Pills and since taking them I have gotten entirely rid of all my kidney trouble and am as sound now as ever.'' Saunders St Fewden. THE ENTERPRISE A Splendid Production Powerful in its dramatic intensity presented by a cast which most ade quately handled this play of won derful power, "The Thief." the great production of Henri Berns- was enjoyed and applauded by fwo enthusiastic audiences at the Academy of Music at matinee and night performances yesterday. The management is entitled to praise fot securing an attraction so pleasing for Raleigh. The play is of the kind that plays on the heart strings, and its lesson is that a great love may reach down into the depths and take up the one who has fallen befoie temptation. And io "The Thief" this theme is worked out inn startling fashion, one that fascinates in every phase of its development. The play is a strong one, and the company which presented it here is a strong ore. About nix people the {lot hinges, with Mr. Frank J. Harvey as "Richard Voysin" and and Miss Rdytbe Ketchuui as "Marbe Louise Voysin" as the central figures. And while each i 1 the cast were strong factors in the development of the plot the burden ot "carrying" the play fell upon these two. They had caught the' spiiit of the play and their acting was such as to make a success of the performance. It Is intense drama that was pre sented and it kept the audience keyed up to a high pitch. It is a performance that is worth seeing for it is one that grips and holds fast from the first word to the last. Raleigh was highly pleased aud the great applause that was given was merited. —News & Observer. "The Thief" will appear here at the Opera House Nov. i6th.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10/1911 Colored School Teachers To the Colored Teachers of Mar tin and Adjoining Counties: # The regular meeting of the Col ored Teachers Association of Mar tin county will be held in the col ored graded school building, Will iamston, N. C., Saturday, Novem ber 18, 1911, from 1:30 to 4:30 p. m. An urgent appeal is made not only to every colored teacher in Martin, but adjoining counties, to attend this important session. At this meeting of the association an effort will be made to organize per manently an association of teachers representing Martin and adjoining counties. Meetings to be held an nually, semi-annually or quarterly as the organization may decide. The sole object of the organiza tion is to form a more persect uuiou among the teachers in order to understand better the needs of the rural communities; to establish and maintain a higher intellectual and moral standard. There can be no question that the future of the race, especially in the rural districts, depends upon those who go among them as teach ers. They look upon the teacher as a leader of thought, and it is of the highest importance that his life be a worthy example, not only for the student body, but the entire community. He should not only be capable intellectually, but his moral fitness should be beyond re proach. His ambition should not be merely for what he can get out of the community, but the services he may be able to render his people. Not an effott to convince them of bis greatness, or superiority, or shrewdness, but of his goodness and earnest desire to raise the masses to a higher plane of living. —*- Iu several communities may foe found those who are groping in ig norance and superstition, who have become easy prey to degrading no tions, their very souls perishing for the want ot proper training and leadership. It is the duty of the teacher to put on the armor of right living and go among them and sup ply their long felt need. To teach them that, wherever they are., they may find salvation about them only by living honorable live*, and con tributing their very best to what ever their hands find to do. And above all, by cultivating the art of peace and harmony with the next door neighbor. W/C. CHANCE, Presideut.

The Thief Kdua Archer Crawford who as- j sumes the leadin?

"The Thief" comes to the Opera 1 House for an engagement of one nigh Nov. i6tb. A Household Medicine ■ That stops coughs quickly and cures colds is Foley's Honer and | Tar Compound.

This will be done by cutting away the lrigh road bed and grading beneath to the level of the street. The A. C. L., has con sented to allow this and to elevate their track over the road. This will insure a safer passage over that part of the street as the embank ment is verA steep on the other side and rains are continually washing it away. "The Thiet" t No play of receat times has achi eved the fame of "The Thief," that stirring drama of love aud jealousy, ot a life's caprice and a husband's condemnation which comes to the Opera House Theatre for un enga gement r.f one night, Nov. ifitb. "The Thief ere tted a furore iu Paris and was greeted by the press aud public of this countiy upon its production at the Lyceum Theatre as the greatestseusation the theatre ever offered It should establish a new record for no one will wish to miss witnessing a performance of it at a price within the reach of all theatregoers.

She does so by stealing a large sum of mouey and is found out. Her con fession to h*r busbmd and his cri ticism of her sin comprises a sceue the like of which has never before been preseutcd in the thertre.

'V'e have all had at times our bad days, oir misunderstandings, our failures to achieve the vascular ui Is we have had in view; bin it would be wicked to or to expect the com munity to pav any of our personal debts, to make it take sides for or against any of us in the settlement of ancient scores.

Our Orphan Children The annual proclnnarion by our I President, calling upon all people to Rive tnanks to Almight God for ' His manifold mercies and blessings j during the past yiar should draw | the mind-i of »ur people more then ever to the uteris of the great work 1 which is being done f >r the depend jent orphan children of our state. I This work id growing each year and the number of applications for admission of destitute, homeless children, Aho have been deprived |of their natural protector, is con stantly increasing. Most nobly j have our people respou leJ to the ' increased i.eeds, caused by advance in cost of living aud expansion of the work. We look with pride at j the various institutions where these j little ones are being can: 1 for and, | trained for greatest usefulness to God and the world. There is every reason to believe that the invest ment which ha-i been made has already paid rich returns in an ed ucated, Christian manhood or j womanhood of former inmates, who | but for these institutions, would have remaiue 1 in ignorance and I want. The needs of the woik con stantly increasing as the cost of i living advances, the number cared Uor grows larger, and their educa ] tion and training takes a broader | scope; therefore, in order to do the {greatest good to the greatest num j ber these institutions must have in creased and„larger gifts.

We desire to publish a list of those who will make this contribution. Send us the amount, state what ophan age you desire it sent to, and we will forward the contribution and credit same in the published list. If you prefer to send it direct to the institution of your choice, yon may : do so. What we desire is to get each man or woman who feels it ia their heart to aid this canse to t adopt a systematic plan of giving r and thus realize the blessedness of . helping this worthy canse.
