The program prepared by the government provides for the introduction of a number of measures of high Importance, though many eagerly desired reformH will be de ferred for tactical reasons. The pro gram is headed by the consolidation of the rural holdings bill, the reform of local courts, the inheritance and In come tax measures and the bill for universal primary education. On Wednesday and Thursday nights October 27 and 28, the Manhattan Op era Company will appear at the Mes senger Opera House. This engage ment will prove to be the largest two night stand ever In Goldsboro, and with the calibre of the company thor oughly known, capacity houses may be looked for. The Durham Herald had this to say about the Manhattan on Tuesday morning: The Manhattan Opera Company gave much the best performance last night at the Academy of Music that has been bere this season. "And not In several seasons has there been a chorus of such voices here. The two sopranos, Fra Diavo lo's baritone, the tenor, and in fact the whole singipg aggregation, ds played exceptional ability and the comedy was as pleasing a bit of non sense as an audience might expect from any company making greater pretensions. The crowd wasn't great, but it was appreciative, for among the audience were the real music lovers of the city Those who don't feel exactly at home In such a company enjoyed the comic lines all the same and felt disappoint ed that the people should not have really understood what the company is playing. "In the company's repertoire there is music of the grand opera. In one of the closing situations of the sec ond act the sextet from Lucia de Lamtnermoor was sung in magnificent style, the brilliant sopranos stretch ing to those wonderfully high notes and holding them, not in a sudden scream, but easily and musically. "There is a bevy of very pretty girls in the company and every one from the least prominent chorus girl to the prima donna, has a voice worth the hearing. The city wgs perhaps expecting a cheap demonstration when it read the dollar-down prices at which the company is playing." Miss Kittle Nice Perle, the charm ing prima donna with the Manhattan Opera Company, received a most flat tering send-off at the closing of the New England tour of the company a fortnight ago. Said the Worcester, Mass., Post, editorially: 'Farewell, Miss Perle! May your Southern trip be ope long run of en cores and other things that will bs a reward for your excellent work." . Miss Perle's work Is the subject for discussion among the opera managers of the country who have witnessed the rise of this young lady Into high musical circles. To say what Is need ed to express the frank confession of the theatre-goer's, both in the New England states and also In the South ern states, it is necessary to admit that everywhere the patrons of the local theatres "fall in love" with Miss Perle. There is a deliclousness about Miss Perle's work that gives her abundant magnetic energy. Her enun ciation is clear and perfect, so that every syllable is understood. This Is an essential quality in the success of any operatic star. Everybody Is sorry when Miss Perle does not an swer all the encores that are given her. To answer them all. Miss Perle would eventually become a broken down operatic singer, for no operatic voice could withstand the calls that Miss Perle receives. Miss Perle Is at the head of a company that is excel lent and the local engagement, which begins Wednesday is bound to win Mr. Kane's songbirds as much favor as have the engagements in the other North Carolina cities. in their first came or the season our high school football team defeat ed Klnston's high school team Satur day on Klnston's; field, by a score of 6 to 0. The score made by a touch down by Daniel, from which a very difficult goal was' kicked by Rackley. The game was one hard struggle, both teams being ,aliout evenly match ed in weight and (playing ability. The game begun at four o'clock and consisted of two tWenty-minute halves with an intermission of ten minutes. In the tosg Kinston won and- selected their goal, with Goldsboro to kick off. Rackley kicked (o their twenty-five-yard line, Klnston fumbled the ball, and King fell on It. In the third rush Butler was slight ly Injured and wa unable to continue playing. Denmark took Butler's place juhi one minute nerore me close the last half Daniel, quarterback went around left end for a twenty yard dash, and was not tackled until he was two yards back of Klnston goal line. Rackley made the free kick which was difficult. First half, Goldsboro 6, Klnston 0. The second half began with Klnston receiving the kick-off. This half was a harder struggle than that of the first, for Kinston had put In three of their faculty, who were formerly of Davidson and V. P. I. football teams. The playing of King and Spence In this half should be specially mention ed. Their tackling on the end made it Impossible for Klnston to gain around them, and they also made two forward passes out of three, and that of Spence was a twenty-nine-yard dash after receiving the ball. Three minutes before the close of the last half Goldsboro was on about Klnston's thirty-yard line, but the constant line plunges of full-back Rackley carried the ball with in one ard of Kinston'a goal line, when time was up. Goldsbo? 8, Kinston 0. This was a gjpd game of football wnicn Dotn teams snowed their pirit and playing ability, It is thought by the manager of this team that we will be able to play a game here this week or next Our team has alrea vUwn that they are going-to play to win.

It appears that President Taft's now famous Greensboro speech, in hich he pretty plainly intimated that the Southern Republicans in general and the North Carolina Republicans in particular were unfit to control Federal patronage in their respective states, has not been productive of pleasant results so far at least as North Carolina is concerned. Every body, especially the Democrats, rec ognized in that fulmlnatlon a wel come and appetizing note, but it be ns to look as though Mr. Taft, hav ing released a flood of noble and me lodious sentiment upon the situation, has given himself no further concern and left the old time "referees" to do without serious interference pretty much what they were doing in the lush days of Theodore. The complaints and animadversions are plentiful, but they convey little Intelligence to outside ears. It Is per fectly clear, however, that the North Carolina Republicans, outside the ser ried ranks of the officeholding and office distributing coterie, are con vinced that Mr. Taft's Greensboro ad dress amounted to little more than a gaudy Ignis fatuus, and that things are going on very much as they did before he sounded that alluring note. We have knowledge of the appoint ment of a few Democrats, one of them an engaging gentlepian who appears to live in Pennsylvania and use North Carolina chiefly for fox hunting pur poses; but it does not appear that the old-time, native, rock rooted Republi cans of North Carolina have been ran sacked for available appointees, and it does appear that the referees, the ancient authorities that flourished un der a former and more brutally can did dispensation, are holding on and exercising the same old power and in fluence. We are not sure that these protests will apply in other Southern States. It is far from clear to us that the row In North Carolina Is representative: but there seems no doubt about It there, and If Mr. Taft eve gets through with his Junketing and settles down to business he might profitably give a moment or two to that partic ular tangle. " St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 25.After a twenty-four-hour run from Dallas, President Taft and party reached St. Louis early this morning and were given a rousing reception. Another twenty-four hours will find the Presi dent again on his way to the Sunny South to attend the Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterways convention at Ne Orleans. The program arranged for the day visit In the Mound City was well cal culated to occupy every moment the President's time. Immediately on the arrival of his special train, which was nuet en route by thff local recep tlon committee, the President was en tertained at breakfast by the Com mercial Club. At eleven o'clock he delivered an address In the Colisseum to an audience of 15,000 persons. Then came a luncheon at the Jefferson Ho tel as the guest of the Business Men's League. From the hotel the President hurried across the river to East St Louis to attend the dedication of government building there and to meet Governor Deneen and other prominent men of Illinois. The early morning trains arriving in St. Louis brought scores of gover nors, united States senators, repre sentatives In Congress and other pub lic men who have accepted the Presi dent's invitation to accompany him on the trip down the Mississippi river. Half a dozen of the largest steamboats that ply the "Father of Waters" have been chartered for the accommoda tion of the official party, One boat has been set aside exclusively for the use of the state executives, of whom there will be at least twenty-five, to gether with members of their staffs. The river caravan will be piloted by a flotilla of United States torpedo boats and in the wake of the official craft will follow a swarm of steamboats and launches of all descriptions.
