It can be readily seen from these headings thst the book Is obliged to be Interesting. Such topics discussed by Dr. Shearer's scholarship and familiarity both with the Scriptures nd the scientific writings and dis cussions of those who accept and of those who reject the Bible as the In fallible "Word of God will entertain and Instruct all classes nf readers. While Dr. Shearer Is. of course, very conservative ln his views and repre sents .at times the extremes of ortho doxy, his clear and luminous pre sentation of vthe position of men of science and of theology whose views he relects and combats will convince the honest reader that he relects much of modern "science." snlsely so called, not because he does not under stand or appreciate the force of Its ra-ument and claims, but because It s contrary both to the Word of God and clearly has no established basis of fact upon which to rest, It need hardly be said that after summarising the teachings of the evolutionists, both those of the ma terialistic aid of the theistlc school. he answers the question as to whether volution Is Scriptural by an emphatic negative. "It contradicts the com mon sense exegesis of the 4lrst and second chapters of Genesis. t confounds creation and provi dence." In .his learned and. though brief, et all comprehensive chapter on the Six Da f Creation," after a care ful review of tlje leading theories of scientists about the creation of the world, the author takes the position that the six days of creation as given hy Moses were natural days of 24 hours' length, no matter what amount of geological tlmo may have preceded hem and the beginning of human history. A hurried examination of the, book, with no purpose or thought of any ritical comment, forces the con viction that the reader will And the volume more than entertaining and that he will not be content tn read It once, but will wish to perase It care fully and to study Us contents thor oughly. " The Smart Set." The play Is called The Black Politician." It is in three acts and will be the next attraction at the Academy of Music next Monday, matinee and night. "The Black Poli ticians may be rightly termed a comedy success with music. Besides convulsing the audience with whole some, relishing laughter It also thrills. The situations are side-splitting and the actor Is speedy and consistent. As Hezekiah, Dee Dudley has a role that fits him like a kid glove. He is nothing more than a race track tout in the play, 'but when requested to pose as a great politician he rises to the situation with all the grace and dignity of an old campaigner. There are Innumerable features In this rol licking offering. If catchy melody, elaborate scenic embellishment, capable singers, dancers, comedians and vaudeville performers, novelties, able stage management, expensive and appropriate costumes are any criterion, this incomparable troupe of mlrth provokers Is in for a successful engage ment. During this engagement the entire balcony and gallery will be re served for colored -people. VALUE OF MACADAM ROADS. TnataiM of Ono Vhih Has Greatly Increased the Value of Property, Statesvllle Landmark. A gentleman who la Interested in good road building, snd wno has had ample opportunity to observe the progress of the work, said after look ing over tne sections or macanam re cently completed on the Tayloravtlle road, west of Statesvllle. that It la the best piece of macadam work he has seen. Further discussing ma cadam work, this aentleman remark ed that If the building of) macadani roads wilt Increase the value of ad- Jacent land $5 per acre (the, fact. is the average Increase la greater than this) the Increased value of a strip of land a half mile wide on each aide of a road will pay the cost of build Ing the road, and the Increased value of land farther than a halfmll from the road Is clear gain. It Is a well-known fact that the building of macadam roads adds greatly to the value of land and tne increase in value does not slop a half mile away, but extends several miles. A farm on this same Taylorsvllle macadam road was offered for $8,000 before the road was built and found no takers. Since the macadam was put down an offer of $10,000 was refused. And the in creased value of land Is Just on point in ravor or macadam roada The savin ln the wear and tear of stock. vehicle and harness, the hauling- of goods to and from ' town and many other things are to be added. Dentist Killed Blacksmith. Pensacola. Ft a.. Sept IS. Dr. T. A. Bedgood. a prominent dentist of Flo- maton, Ala., to-day shot and killed John Gleason. a blacksmith. The shooting, it is said, was the result of a remark made by G lesson regarding the dentist's family. , Bedgood thea surrendered. - 'THE LION AND THE MOU8E." in the remark of a Federal Judge Uo was recently offered tho nomina tion of one of the great political par tics, after fining a certain trust a num ber of million dollars, "for God's sake leave my Judicial honor, man hood and the respect of my friends" we have the keynote of Charles Klein's great play. "The Lion and the Mouse." which comes to the Academy of Music next Tuesday night. This is one of the many recent in stances which demonstrates beyond cavil that Mr. Klein did not begin to touch the centre of reality when he wrote his great drama which haa kept the public of the entire country talking for the past three years. The clergy and the press In reference to recent graft Investigations, have used this play which Henry p. Harris had the whklom to produce, as text for ser mons and editorials, and lately the' President of the United states waa urged to use the lesson taught by "The Lion and the House" as a cam paign document. It Is over three years since the piece had Its premiere, hut a brief re sume of the story may not be In apropos. John Burkett Ryder, the unscrupulous money king -of the world, is thwarted In his flans by Judge Kossrnore of the United States supreme bench. 'Ryder resolves to ruin, both financially and in reputa tion, the honest Jurist. The former wreck has been accomplished, when Shlrcly Roasmorr. his daughter, and Ryder's only son, Jefferson, return from a European trip." They met abroad and had fallen tn love. The girl, learning of her father's Impend ing disgrace, sets about to save his reputation and becomes a member of the money baron's household. How the lion succumbs to the mouse Is un fair from the dramatist's standpoint to reveal. Miss Edna Archer Crawford will be seen In the role of Shirley Rossmore. and Paul Everton Is again dealing with tfte part of Ryder. It Is claim ed by the crltica that Mr. Harris Is this season sending out the best com pany yet seen In the Klein drama. Soudiern Railway N.
