THE ENTERPRISE-
Bear in Automobile
There was some excitement in
town Nor. 16, when it was found
that a bear had been seen at Con*
oho, and had taken Tefuge up an
immense gum tree—verily a case of
being up and looking down npon
one's superiors. Soon a qumber of
men were carried as near to the
scene as an auto could go by Dr.
John D. Biggs, *ho can drive
"Overland" but not over water.
The last scenes in the life of His
HighjMightiness, Black Bruio, are
these: Madison White, who is a
well-known colored man working
daily in the swamps, discovered
brutn in the water and followad
qiickly in a boat. He shot the
biast several times, bat it needed
bullets to stop the mighty prowler
of the forest. W. H. Leggett, who
owns and cultivates the land near
by, went to the help of White and
so tb« bear did the high-climbing
act and rested way up among the
branches of a lofty gum for which
that section is famed, while Leg
gett stgod below on
guard. NewS'was sent to town,
and brought men with rifle? a*
stated above. There was some
good shooting, but the last bullet
from the rifle of P. W. Hoyt
brought the animal to the earth
with a dull thud. The beast was
placed in the car and brought to
Main Street, where, as on every
Saturday, crowds gather, anVi so
eager eye» gate J at the conquered
beast.
Bear steak made the beef market
"bearish" for a while as it was
offered for five cents the pound,
and brought a tew dellars as the
animal weighed about 200 lbs.
This bear tale briefs te mind the
fa* that Mr. Will Hardiaon, who
finished grading the track here
about three weeks ago, has with
several others trspped thirteen
bears ia that time in Griffias Town
ship. That is some bear to those
who do fiot live ia bear infested
sections.
Attorney Clayton Moere wag
awarded a quart of bear-tallow to
use after the wonderful speed be
made out of town, when the news
came that bruin was making his
way towards "Legal Row."

Mrs. Pem Bowcn Dead
Jnet one week to the day and
hour after tbe death of Mr. Pen S.
Bo wen, a message was received
here by relatives telling of tbe
death of Mrs. Pern Bo wen, the wife
who was so ill at the time of the
|j|eath of her husband. The body
Arrived here Saturday night and
was interred beside that of the

case of kidney trouble. After tak

larly and the annoying bladder
trouble was cured. I gladly re
commend Foley Kidney Pills."

To Our Readers
office force arranged to
mail The Enterprise to our
subscribers on Wednesday, day
before Thanksgiving. But the
Southern Express Company
which brings our papers from
Charlotte lost the entire bunble
in the rush for Thanksgiving.
We waited hoping that like the
unlucky penny, they would
"turn up," but finally Saturday,
we received information from
the Company that the bundle
had been lost. That necessi
tated ordering another lot from
Charlotte, which reached us
Sunday night.
QWe regret this delay, for it
meant time and money to us
and a disappintment for both
subscribers and advertisers. To
miss an edition entails loss and
great inconvenince, so we are
glad to greet our friends, though
the hour is late. We desire to
put the blame for the delay
where it properly belongs, so
there will be a perfect under
standing.
The Wreck on the S. A. L.
Friends and acquaintances here
were, filled with sorrow on Tuesday
morning when the news of the
wreck on the S. A. L. near Granite
was received and that Engineer C.
H. Bee bam had lost his life with
seven others. If r. Becham visited
bee* thte summer with kis wife,
being the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Crawfard. While here be
made many friends, whe deplore
kis tragic end. His gtnisl smile,
and gentlemsnly bearing impressed
those he met in Williamston and
anotnar visit from him was swaited
with pleasant anticipations. For
his bereaved wife, there is deepest
sympathy from many in the town,
who knew her as Jesnie Rowland,
she having made many visits here
to ker school friend, Mrs. Henry
Crawford, before and since her
marriage to Mr. Becham.
It is believed bete that Engineer
Becham died as a brave man should
—at his post, though there must
have been some misunderstanding
of orders on his part, but no reck
less disregard for the safety of his
train with irs human freight. He
and Engineer Faison, who was kill
ed, were among the best and safest
men in the employ of the company.
Health and Optimism
Don't forget that if health makes
for happiness .happiness makes for
health. So don't be a grouch, even
if you don't feel just first rate.
It may be safely assumed that the
habitual grouch and grumbler has
some chronic physical aliments;
and the chances ate, too, that grou
chy disposition tends to aggravate
his physical troubles. So keep
your temper, look on the right side
of things, take the sunny side of
the street, get all the fresh air you
need, and you'll pull through all
right.—Sel

How It Pays
Bank Examiner L. £. Coving
ton, who was here last week, and
who knows other things besides the
careful checking of bank accounts,
purchased a pair of mules from the
veteran stocicman, Walter Hafsell,
and bad them shipped to Raleigh.
He made the statement that he
could not find sucli stock in the
Capital City as Major Hassell dis
played here. This stock is adver
tised in a big way every week iu
these columns and there is no need
to ask if it pays. How much it
pays is being demonstrated by the
weekly sales of splendid stock.
Dan J. Joyce, Sanville, Henry

cold with a cough which huug on

A Play of Dramatic Purity
Jo eph M. Weber's "The Cli
max" One Of The Big Hits Of
The Theatrical Year.
Ooe of the most important at
tractions in either the dramatic or
musical line that will be seen heie
this season will be Jo-eph M Web
er's br'lliant New York success
"The Climax" by Edward Locke,
incidental music by Joseph Carl
Breil, which comes to the Opera
House Wednesday December 4th.
which is most artistic, the most in
teresting, and the most delightful
in point:) of construction, dialogue
ard development of character. The
play proved to be the real dramatic
surprise of the season, scoring an
unprecedented success at Weber's
theatre where it is now attracting
large and enthusiastic audiences.
Acton Davie*, the dramatic critic
of "The New York Sun," had the
following to say of the play.
"From the rise to the fall of the
curtain "The Climax" is a com
plete work of art—quite different
iu its way from any other play
which has gone before it, and it
adds a new halo of dis
tinction to Mr. Joseph M. Weber's
caieer as a producing manage.
Both in the selection of his cast,
which has shown remarkable dis
cernment, and in his unwavering
f lith iu the play from the time he
first read it, Mr. Weber has proved
himself an infallible prophet ou
Broadway—which, after all, means
much more than being the same
rarity is his own country. He
always said from the' outset that,
properly produced "The Climix"
! could not fail to score, and his wife,
an exceptionally fine musician, re
alizing as he did bow essential it
■was to secure artists, three cf whom
at lsast could play their roles from
the standpoint of musicians as well
as actors, threw herself into the
task of selectiag the cast with al
most as much enthusiasm as he did.
The result speaks for itself, and
spells the coy*st and most elusive
of all words in the vocabulary—
Success."
A Splendid Display
The store of H. D. Peel and
Compauy presents an attractive
appearance now. for it is stocked
with Xrais goods which will appeal
to every purchaser. Bicycles for
young and old velocipedes in com
plete designs, will delight those who
like to wheel along. Jewelry, silver
articles, musical instruments and
a large display of handsome china
waie furnish excellent margins for
th* selections of presents for every
member of family and the friends
far away.
The best time to purchase is
no'.v. Tomorrow may be too late
for the other purcbaier might go
and secure the very article suitable
to your taste. Then the rush will
soon be and it is always best to buy
when there is plenty of time to care
fully select. Polite attention will,
be paid to each shopper who goes
into the store. Don't fail to
purchase a set of cups and saucers
of that beautiful Japanese ware.
It is exquisite iu design and
finish,
We live but one life, we pass but
once through this world. We
should live so that every step shall
be a step onward aud upward
We should strive to be victorious
over every evil influence. We
should seek to greater good and
enrichment of character from every
experience, making our progress
ever from more to more. Wherever
we go we should try to leave a bless
ing, something which will sweeten
another life or start a new song or
an impulse ot cheer or helpfulness
in another heart. Then our very
memory when we are gone will 'be
an abiding blessing in the worfd.

Have We Lost the Better

Sometimes one wonders if the

tor a little term, and will we return
to spacious and serene things after
this fever cools? Shall we soon turn
from the clatter of these days, the
temporae display, the unreal valuta
set on position and success, the
scorn of what is simple-hearted and
generous, the baste and noise that
drown out all gentle voioci-? It is

Look Afier the Tender Buds
We have urged from time to time
the necessity on the part of the
parents of looking carefully after
the education of their children.
The advantages for training in
crease every year, but there is no
lessening of the parens respon;-ibil
itiy because the preaent system is
far superior to that even of a few
years ago. The teacher was never
iutended to take the place of the
parent, and could not if he desired.
Carelul home training is apparent
in every child who enters any class
in our school. Those children who
are allowed the freedom of the
streets night and day, before school
in the morning and at the noon
hour, as a rule, leeite iDperfectly
and are continually j complaining
about the rules, etc., of the daily
routine of school life. The lack of
restraint is demoralizing the boys
and girls of this age.
If the child has not proper re
gard for bis work in the class room,
it is the duty of those in control at
home to use nectssary discipline.
It is a noticeable fact that the pu
pils in any school who stay at
home after school hours, make the
best scholars, acd iu the future,
the best men and women. The
parents also should visit the school
and understand the methods taught
there. This would encourage both
the child and the Uacher. Every
town's biggest asset should be lod
ged in the character of its children,
jwho cluster around the hearth at
home. If a solid foundation is not
laid, the structure will fail when
the angry storms of life being to
beat upon it. No grander duty
ever was given to the parents than
that of the daily training of the
children which Cod has given to
them. --a—
