Mo musical' event of the. year will approach in ' (importance the appear ance here s&pn of the famous New York SymphAhy Orchestra, under the direction of I Mr. Walt er Dam roach. Although only forty-three years old, JiL Damroscb has been spreading the gospel of music in America for over twenty years. His life .work may be summed upf as an extraordinary suc cessful effort to make high class music popular. He fla been con- tplcuous in) symphony, orutorla and Opera. Probably no other, conductor ' has done so much to popularize the i works of Richard Wagner in America. A son of the dlHtingulshed mu sician. Dr. Leopold Damni.sch, the ' New York Rynvphony'H leader, was v born in Sreslau, Germany, but camp to this country when a boy. At the Age of twenty-three, he was elected J conductor of the Oratorio Society, at the same time serving as assistant , director to Edmund Ktanton at the ' , Metropolitan Opera House. Since . ' Then he has been active in tie mu sical life, not only of New York, but f the entire country. In 102, tyr. Dammsch became conductor of the Philharmonic Or- 1 chest rn, and a year later reorganized the New York Symphony, which since has. received his entire attention and . energy. OPPOSES SENSATIONALISM.

I "Du Barry" Mrs. Leslie-Carter Is given exceptional opportunities for the explanation of her brilliant histrionic, talents. She Is surrounded with a powerful com pany and the production' Is without doubt the most gorgeous serleaf of stage pictures that have evcr.thsea seen In this country. Briefly this Is the story of f'Du Bar ry." In the first act, Du Barry Is re-1 vealod as Jeanette Vaubarnler, a charming little mllllnett; In afashlp Alble Paris shop at the.tima of Louis XV. A young officer of tho King's guard, Crosse-Brissae., has fallen In love with her and would makeer his wift. At the very hour when. she has made an appointment to meet Crosse Brlsxac she Is lured to the famous gambling establishment of the Mar- cjuls de Quesnoy, through tho bland ishments of Jean de Barry, who is in leagim with the notorlus Marqulft Her lcauty attracts the Kln-g and he schemes to make her his mistress, but through a series of trying experiences which are Intensely thrilling Jtsanette reamins true to her soldier lover and before a great asemhlage she makes the King the common laughing stock.' In thrt end, however, she Is shorn of her power by the Revolutionists and condemned to death because of he association with the Royalists. Mrs. Leslie-Carter has never been seen to -better advantage than as ' :' T 1 f" ' -1 MaJnm iu Barry and th play Is one of tht iiiont notable of the, past de- code.

Wanted Place of Authority. outh' Companion. : t It is aft unwritten Jaw on shipboard, and especially on men-of-war, that the quarter deck is for the exclusive use of officers, and all good seamen re member It, In spite of their ambitions. Jt' once happened that an- ancient mariner, a "flve-strlpcr," while on shore leave captured a mule. Not without difficulty h mounted the an imal and perched himself as near the tall as possible. The mule objected in every way known to a mule, and In ways several and unexpected. "Jack, sit more amidships," calleT! out an engineer officer, who happened past. "You'll ride easier." "Captain," grinned the old salt, "this Is tho first craft I ever com manded, and It's a p:.y If I can't stay on the quarter deck." Novels at Cut Rate. Bellman. The reduction of the price of novels in London from 6s. to half a crown may prove a sad blow to the great cir culating libraries. In England the cir culating library Is a very important institution.

But It la perhaps allowable for uu to feel, that as your representatives you think that our work has been honestly done ac cording to our , understanding of the platform upon, which, 'you placed us, and according , to our pledges In the campaign which resulted In an. In crease of 25, per oint. in th Demo cratic majority of old Guilford. With this understanding of the sig nificance of this occasion, you will per mit me to. express my views upon the necessity of. an Increase In clvlo vir tue, among our. people 1n State and nation in their capacity as citizens to the end that their representatives-may be sustained in their efforts to write the will of the people upon the stat ute book. I therefore thank you again for this honor and most because it gives me this occasion to look into your friendly faces and to renew, with you, fidelity to those great principles and Ideas upon which one of the two great political parties of this country Is founded. To every man, no matter whether In his counting room, at the teacher's desk, following the plow across, the field, sleepless at night thinking of the Interests of his client, selling goods across his counter, nay even standing ;S ' --S,M(f, . :v , - 4 on tho Box." , In the pulpit ready to proclaim the I unsearchable riches nf the Gospel of ' Jeum Christ, or sitting on the tdl- ! t.r iti I tripod -to every man without n-irard to vocation or avocation, there I In presented daily the sharp und thrill Ini; command, "Choose you this day whom you will serve, If llual bo god serve him and If the Lord be God ; serve him." More shurply stern than In the ordinary duties of life, is It true however a public duty devolves on a man, whether It be to stand up In his community for the right though standing alone, or whether It be when the citizen untrammeled walks to the ballot Ikx to east the ballot of a free man, or In those higher positions of lir,. where us the representative of tho whole people, h is called upon to de cide this question almost daily.

Men will he sound at the bal lot box when they are sound on the mart Men will write sound plntforms anl stand for them only when they upeak words of sincerity and truth from the tripod and from the pulpit. "O, you know we had to do something to plrase th peopls," exclaimed a mn,n who thought he was straightfor ward nnd upright, when at heart he was a hyiNM-rlte In political life. "Plat forms are made to get In on," said a notorious party leader snd he said It with a siMtcr, Well, if the people have not lost their Integrity these plat forms can b lined that way but once.

The people of . Guilford are a great people Scotch-Irish, with their undying love of freedom, Ger mans descended from .ancestors who stood with Luther for religious free dom, Quakers who unarmed know no fear, because their cause Is Just no blemen all, sprung from the loins of those who. fought at Guilford. Court House, men whose ancestors followed the Moreheads and Gtlmers, Gorrells, Caldwell8, and the Mendenhalle all these surrounded us as a cloud of wit nesses and If we stood true, or If you think we stood true, remember that It was because we thought and be lieved and knew you were standing true behind us and the shades of our ancestors were an uplift to our hearts IQ In every hour when demands were up on us. In saying this, I would, having In mind that other sister of faith. Sweet Charity, say naught In harshness of those, who though subscribing to the same platform, interpreted it differ ently. They are Democrats nil and nnswerablo to their people as we to ours. They are able men and will no doubj render a reason why they could not agree with the majority of Demo crats In the Legislature.

We are all ' Democrats, each t trust doing what he thinks best for the people whom we serve. ' High over all floats the white flag of pure Democracy which cannot be soiled by Its enemies no matter now often it may meet defeat; It can be tarnished only by its friends. Twice I followed the matchless leader of Democracy while not agree ing with him in his diagnosis of our financial troubles; but I never lost sight of the fact that his remedy lay in true Democracy the will of the people. Twice I saw him go down not under an overpowering avalanche of ballots, but under the combined finan cial avalanche of railroad, trust, and insurance money. Later I saw the great New York Jurist suffer the same fate though the truth of It was bitter ly and almost hyserlcally denied by the bonenciary of those monopolies. Whether tlte banner of Democracy shall be carried next year- b the In comparable Bryan or by some other leader I pray God that there may be no subserviency to the hosts of mam mon for the purposes' of temporary and meaningless victory; but that we may bide our time till the people come to their own as they must do In God's good time. It has been said: - , "Truth crushed to eartlr will rise again The eternal years of God are- hers Hut Error, wounded, writhes In -pain And 'dies amid her worshipers." This is true only in a Sense. Truth crushed to earth -does not rlee again except as men of truth life it up; and Error does not lie wounded and dying except as true men stand with the spear of truth above it and give itva quietus. The Democrtlc party must stand for the people against the interests against monopoly and deleterious combinations. So far In North Carolina I there Is no great difference of opin ion on this subject. What appeared to i some to be a cleavage had only to do I with the rabidity with which we I should respond to the great popular demand of legislating for the people. No Democrat dared to stand on the floor of either chamber and proclaim that monopolies and trusts are the best for the people. In the lobbies one could occasionally hear It, with a threat of voting the Republican tick et; but nearly every vote that seemed to be monopolistic was given with an explanation that the Representative casting It was opposed to railroad and monopolistic opprseelon. IfNthe Dem ocratic party should become trust-ridden, the voters who are behind Mr. Roosevelt m his great fight against railroad greed and trust combinations would Increase and would finally wage a successful fight; for I do hot believe the people will always continue to pass under the yoke of the monied captains who have combined to oppress them, who rpb without conscience and hold up the tolling millions with affrontery. If they do, then the republic is gone; and with It the llbertjNof the fathers; and then there comes what has so often happened In the history of na tions, the beginning of the end. The divine right of the dollar rests upon a more flimsy foundation than the divine right of kings and nobles. hH' V j. ii - Carter. and when either rules In absolute au- Mhorlty and consequent oppression, the people are no longer free.
