He has studied the character for years, and his big manly personality fills the eye completely and dominates the Stage during his occupation of tt. There Is nothing of the simple life in his performance; on the contrary It Is the extreme of the strenuous and complex.

His support and equipment this season has been awarded high praise in every city of his route. .... PAUL GILMORE IN "THE ..WHEEL .OF LOVE." The opening scene of George V. Ho barf new play,' ''The .Wheel of Love," is one that cannot afford to be lost. Hobart never writes an ex cessive word or inserts an unmean ing scene, and this delightfully gro tesque bit of character study upon which the curtain is raised is one of the -things of the play. Paul Gil more In the ,role of the hero does not enter 'until .the atmosphere has been properly supplied by the others, but this very "atmosphere" Is Just what is heeded to Interpret the balance of the : story. - Mr. cGHmore was never more .delighted with a part a than with this of Jack - Hartley, alias Horace Sinclair. - The play comes to the .

DOES.,;; Through its council -or lodge sys tem, the Order of United Commercial Travelers of America furnishes, the traveler common ground where ha may meet his fellows and be as wel come as he could possibly be in his own home city. Frequently social gatherings are held by subordinate councils, end these keep the traveler and his family in touch with the social life of his home city, although he may be absent for long periods. Again, while -on the road, his mem' bershlp - carries with it a standing Invitation and a welcome to the social gatherings of sir councils In cities where he may be stopping. -y Still another feature is the wlJows' and orphans' fund which Is maintain ed for the relief of beneficiaries of deceased members who may be the wife, mother, sister (unmarried), or daughter (unmarrll) and who may be left dependent and without maans of support; and for the maintenance and education of orphan children of members, under 15 years of age, in amounts up to the maximum sum of 1250 a year. In ? addition, to this anj In con junction with the above advantages the U. C. T. Insures its members against loss of time resulting from totally disabling accidental Injuries, The weekly benefits for total and im mediate disability from accident. are f ?5 a week for & period of 62 weeks. ; NATURAL HISTORY OF THE ,v r TRAVELING MAN. , The traveling man Is found all over the world at this time; but he ir w sentially a product of America. Some people call 4i!m the drummer, be cause originally his duty was to drum u trade. Others call him the. com mercial tourist But when the -heart waxes warm, when we want to show htm jthat he Is known and- appre ciated and loved, we refer to him as '"one .of the boys." He is born on the farm, or in a little country village.. ,Very few traveling men tare born In the cities. That is because the cities do not, as a rule, furnish the brood knowledge that, is necessary to make the suc cessful . traveling man. It takes the country to Jo that, or the small town that sits on the edge of the country like a lizard on a log. First, the traveling man. must pos sess a good constitution, He must be endowed with rich red blood. Jt is no child's play to work twenty four hours a day and sleep upon a susprclous4ooklng . bed. and to bolt a piece of ham and catch a train and spend Sialf day. In e, lj!ng end maintain an even 'temper; all the while. He must know ihls fellow man, and love Mm, for he whA bar bors hate, or a sour disposition, can not gain the confidence of the trade ; He Is able to resist all temptations; for, denied the influence of his home for days and weeks st a ttm. meet- U. C. 1 Cc!;r:::n. : nar-anj'-mlngllnf with all sirtf -of 1 : .. 1 b.. t t ten 1, o:i- ly t'--" who tia nth tai Lo- a travtr.ir.jf man for any lt'tuih O' ':i:e. HU firt lemons aiv in - the . vork- shOD cr the mils or the factories or the stores. His learning does not consist exclusively of that which is written in books. He 1 cleanly in his appearance, notwithstanding his vocation brings him In contact with the. soot and dust and grime of com merce. He speaks clearly and dis tinctly and forcibly. -He recognizes humor where no humor exists, and shows pathos when he feels like laughing If it is th proper thing to do. The traveling man is the product of evolution. God never saw fit. to make him in the beginning, because there was little demand for fig leaves. and he .would have starved to death running around In the Garden, .of Eden with a sample case filled with canned fruit.- It was not until the world grew populous and men want ed that which they could not them selves produce that the traveling man cams upon the scene and effected an economical exchange for society, 'He carried the oranges from, the .far Southland and traded them to the natives of the North for whale meat, or toted a lot of shoes from a . fac tory in New England 1 to fiie bare footed rangers of the .West, and took back two cow hides for every pair of shoes. Finally the store was established at the. crossroads. , vThe merchant could not leave his cropsfor It must be remembered that the early mer chants really made their living farm ing while waiting for customers nor could the manufacturer take his workshop to the merchant . There had to be some man who understood wnat-.cne mercnant waotea and in whom the merchant had confidence, and th same man must know what the manufacturer was making and what it was worth, and how to con vince the merchant that he wanted It whether he did or not. That is the way the traveling man was de veloped. He was that fellow his head holding the knowledge of the art of manufacture, anl the knowl edge of the wants of the trade, and his heart holding the welfare of both manufacturer and merchant. The traveling man Is endowed with the same emotions as is the rest of the human race. He has a large bump of self-asxerUVenesa, because he is accompanied by no committee guaranteeing him the liberty of the city. !He is combative to the ex tent that ihe is able to defend him self and the establishment for which he travels He Is aggressive, In that he must make a demand for that which he would sell whether it ex ists r not' He Is courageous, for Industry reward no coward. He knows where every good hottl In the country Is, for he has stopped at all of the bad ones. Nearly 'all traveling men are mar ried and they make the best hus bands! - The early varieties of the tribe did not reflect credit upon the modern traveling man in this re spect, but the modern traveling man has lived down the reputation his predecessors made. He sees so much of - the discontent that comes from lives of loneliness, that when (he leaves home Monday morning he fas tens his eyes upon the town fmrs which he starts home Saturday night. He works all the week to Wet back at OTstated tlm,' and every hour he can gain upon the trip he treasures up as bringing him that much near er o those he loves. He pats the tow-headed kid of the merchant endearingly, thinking of those tiat await his coming, two hundred milee away. Along his route he gathers little trinkets for his boy, or -something odd-for ihls -wife. He harbors As much love to the square inch of his being as any man that lives, and the once or twice a year his wife or his boy can ac company him upon a trip are bright spots in his memory never to be for gotten. T The influence of the traveling man Is felt to the remotest parts of the land. He sets the styles-for h'vlf the population. He la the real hero of the. boys. He has a happy word for evorv mother's son .he meets, and sends each along his respective route a little''1 better contented with the world. It Is an unfortunate man who ha not the Close friendship of at least one traveling mnp. It is like know ing half of State to know a single drummer. He brings to you the do ings of a busy world. Ha lays down at your door the gossip of a hun dred, towns and villages. , He dis courses Intelligently with you upon every topic of the day.- You can learn " from him the history being: writ by commerce, the JOIngs of dip-! lomats, the needs of the eartx He cannot be dece4veJ, and you lose no time In trying to deceive him nnd he finds It out and respe-cts you for It. He maps out your route for a sum mer's, holiday, tells you the .places thtat are worth seeing, and how to see them, arranges your schedule for iOu and assirts you in a hundred ways. If you are so lucky as to have him for a neighbor you know something of th brotherhood of man. Tou do not hesitate to cnll up on him ift times of sickness or dls tress, feeling sure that he win re spond to your requests. All of his store of worldly effects Is, at your command. He is tireless in his ef forts . to relieve your distress. He comes nearer being a Good Samaritan than anybody we know In fact, we are told in Holy Writ that the origi nal Good Samaritan was a traveling man. And let "misfortune overtake one of his kind, let a traveling nin lose (his life In a wreck, or otherwise, ana the first thoughts of the whole tribe are of the dependent ones left by the unfortunate. -" To better enable him to care for these w idows and or phans, as well as to devise ways and means for bis own" comfort he has formed -organisations, 3 If you do not know anything about this type of man, if you have been so fcusy that you have not ma time to correctly estimate him now Is a good time to study the species. , He Is not afraid tft.be analysed and worn pared with other men. It might help you Juaf to observe him as he goes aoout nis nusmeas, oraeriy, peacefully, fearlessly, and with yjgi nlty. . ..,, -.- v(-. t;.,--!,'' t;, Good Service at First Baptist Church. i.

' Invitations were is sued to a large number, different ags being ententalned at different hours from S to 12 o'clock, and the pleased acceptations were expressed by a variety of clever ideas repre sented in wpoden gifts. 'i v The' home of Mr. and Mrs, McLen don Is a handsome modern one and on thjs 'occasion Mr. and; Mrs. Colt Redfearn stood at the entrance of the spacious hoH and received the guests who were taken to he drawing room i by , Miss Clare Lockhart - arid presented to. the ,.- bride and groom with , their, attendants, Mr. and Mrs. AJ Marshall.

Mr.1 i McLendon is one of Anson county's most prominent lawyers and Is sure to make himself felt through out the Old North State, and Mrs. McLendon will ever be an adoring assistant In' his successes. The last Hallowe'en wa made mem orable to the children of Wadeboro by a fovely party given by Misses Margie - and Julia Burns at their beautiful home which is famous as a happy place for little folks. A de- guesslng trees was an absorbingly interesting feature In which Miss Eleanor Horton won the prise. The large dining room was forest-like In a wealth of autumnal decorations and candles and Jack o' lanterns shed light from most unexpected places. The table center pieces were large witches' heads winking and blinking in fantastic lights. At each pUte was a smaU Jack o' lantern n which burned a tiny candle. At the close of the meal a witch aip peared In gruesome attire, but she belled her looks, being very kind and generously carrying a large basket vf nuts Xrom which she filled, the smball lanterns whose candles van ished at her appearing. The little Misses Burns are extravagantly pop ular with the younger society set and their guests had a merry time. . The Bachelor Girls, young ladles and old maids, have been given a series of lovely parties lately.

JONES A FRIEND IN NEED He Had the Gofd Wien Asked to Help Out a Bank. A gold mine In North Carolina has always been considered more of a place to put gold than to get it back from, but here is a shining exception to the rule. The Iola Gold Mine, located near Candor, and under the direct super vision of Capt. M. I Jones, has Just come to the rescue of some of the lo cal banks In the State who are feel ing the rniueuatl stringency of ready money. Mr. Jones was called by tel egram to a near by town to see one of his banking friends, and when he reached ther was beaeaehed to let them have some gold bullion so that they could use It to relieve their Bcar-cltyi of the "long green." Mr. Jones was equal to the occa sion, and like htm always ready ta help his friends, he came back to the mine and shipped them about $10,000 in bars of the native gold of Mont gomery county. Truly the "old order ohnngpth" for before the days of the Iola, the banks have been asked to lend to the mines, but not so with Capt. Jonea and his mine. He says If any other of his banking friends get caught short and he can be of service, only wire him and he will be there with the gods. prosiHWllve New Iluslnexe. Mr. D. A.
