Occasionally they would pau*. Then,
unless one wu watching the Itpa or
hands of the artists, it was impossi
ble to detect the pause, the sounds
from the wax disc being identical
with the natural voice or instrument.
There were those who declared
that they could detect a alight dif
ference. These were dumbfounded
when, while Muj Clark was singing
a lullaby, the hou.<c was thrown in
darkness. The clear sweat notea of
the singer continued without a pausr,
filling every corner of the big aedi
toriara Auditors wen confident that
kliu Clark was still singing. Ther.
the lights came oa--and the singe

The Instruments used were identi

Barnes and Holliday store. The
one used for the a’nger* was that
owned by J. C. Bsnnermsn mid sold
by the company. Thai usod for Mias'
Hofhuim«r was an inatrament (urn
from the local stock.
Nearly 1.000 persona attended the
recital, and tickets were refused to
hundreds of others because of the
limited Mating capacity of the the a

as to gat tickets were treated not
only to a recital of unusual merit but
ware permitted to witness a marvel

No Return Guaranteed
On Railway Capital
Washington, D. C.. September 16.
—“In many quarters there seems to
remain some misunderstanding as to
the provision of ths Transportation
Act of 1920 which makes it the duty
of the Interstate Commeice Commia
.•ion to authorise rales which will
give the railways of eoch section of
the country a fair return on the value
of their property dovotod to trans
portation purposes and, for tha two
years following the passage of tho
act, set the ‘reasonable return- at
6 1-2 per rent, another one-half per
cent., to b* devoted to improvement*,
at tho option of the Commission.”
says a statement *»rsod by the Sou
thern Railway System.
“Some persons have gotten the
ides that the Transportation Act gu
arantees the railway companies six
per cvr.t- on their stocks and bonds.
The (act it that the Act says nothing
about any return on capitalisation
add no railway la guaranteed any
thing. The volue of stocks sad bonds
which any railway may have outstand
ing will nave absolutely no effect on
the return it will receive.
“While tha Act makes it tbv duty
of the Commission to authorise rstoi
which will give tho railway* of each

tho aggregate raise of their property
there Is so aaeorance that any Indi
vidua I railway will get a return ol
six per cent, on the value of Us pro

will, got will depend on the busincti

ernor of North Carolina, opened the
campaign in Brunswick county today
with an address to the Brunswick
County Democratic convention. One
of the Urgcst gatherings of Demo
emts In the history of the party at
tended the convention in spite of the
baovy rain during n greater part af
tn# day.
Mr. Morrison was presented to the
sudtenec by Joseph Roark. n premia
ent attorney, of Southport. His ad
dress was a striking recital of Dome
crntic achievement coupled with a
scathing denunciation of the Bspabii
can party for its man-handling of the
treaty and the League of Nations
The convention was perhaps most
interested in Mr. Morrison's reply to
the attacks on revaluation which .
been characterising the speeches of
John J. Parker, Republican candidate
for governor.
"It is a sorry spectacle,” said he.
“for a candidate for governor with
