ft L HUFFMAN RESIGNS.
The Captain of Plymouth.
A delightful comic opera based
upon Longfellow's "Courtship of
Miles Standish" will be presented
Friday night, March 6th, in the
auditorium by students of the
Morganton graded school.
Seventy-five young people and
children as Puritan men and
maidens, Indian warriors and
squaws, soldiers and sailors will
take part in the play, which is
decidedly one of the best ever
undertaken by the school. The
players were selected from the
intermediate and high school
grades of the school, and each
part has been well taken. The
choruses, catchy and delightful,
are in themselves well worth the
price of admission, all the musi
cal numbers being very much
above the ordinary. Many comic
situations are developed, and
throughout the play there are
numerous criticisms of modern
life, which because ot the very
fact that they have as their set
ting the solemn sternness of the
serious-minded Puritans make of
the whole a delightful entertain
ment. The play premises to be
the attraction of the season, and
those who attend will be highly
entertained. A general admis
si n of 25 cents wTill be charged
and 15 cents for the school chil
trm and for ?11 children under
5 years of age. There will be
no reserved seats, except a few
rows for those who are unavoid
ably detained by their business
from being there at the opening
hour, 8:30.
Retires as judge of County
Court and Mr. C. F. Mc
Kesson Elected as His Suc
cessor. On last Monday, March 2nd,
vir, ri. Lu tiurrman, wno has
been Judge of the County Court
of Burke for about a year, ten
dered his resignation to the Board
of County Commissioners, effec
tive April 1st, 1914.
It is but simple justice to say
that Judge Huffman, a man above
reproach in his private life, bore
himself most worthily and well
on the bench. A good lawyer,
Glen Alpine News.
April 1st and will be Succeeded
in that position by Mf. Hamilton
Erwin.
Mr. McKesson is an able law
yer as well as an all round fine
man, and his numerous friends

creditable administration of the
County Court with him as Judge.

R. L. HUFFMAN
quick to catch the main points in
any case, clear in conception,
fair and impartial in his rulings,
he made a fine impression on the
public and will, on his retire
ment, leave behind him a most
enviable record.
He and Mr. A. C. Avery have
formed a partnership for the
practice of the law, and both of
them have in a marked degree
the respect and confidence of the
people. We wish them the rich
success that their character and
ability merit.
Correspondence of The New-Herald.
Sunday morning good and early
King Boreas started out on his
30-day reign. Shades and fruit
trees and trees of the forest all
paid tribute to his strength and
might by bowing in the dust.
Sunday night the wind blew
harder than it has in 20 years,
tress were blown on houses and
several had shingles torn off and
scattered over the fields. Straw
and fodder stacks were badly
twisted and some torn from stack
pole and were blown to pieces,
causing a total loss. Roads were
blocked, wires were down, glass
blown out of some of the houses
and it felt at one time that
houses could not stand. How
ever the damage was small com
pared to what it looked at one
time it would be. The air during
the wind seemed to be from the
North Pole. Despite the fact of
the wind and cold, Prof. Hinshaw
and his quartette from Ruther
lord college neid two services
in the Methodist church to a
much larger crowd than was ex
pected from the weather. The
sermons were good and singing
enjoyed by all who were fortu
nate enough to attend, and re
i i 1 1
gret expressed that many were
kept away by the cold. We hope
he may come again.
Rev. G. P. Burgess of Eagle,
Alaska, lectured at St. Paul's
Mission last Sunday. He has been
in the mission field of Alaska for
5 years and is over in this coun
A " i TT 1
try ior a visit, jus lecture was
very interesting. Mr. Burgess
says the railroad our government
will build in Alaska will be of in
calculable value in developing the
country.
I notice some of the railroada
are kicking up a muss about the
parcel post. President Erb o
the Minneapolis & St. Louis R
R. Co. is quoted as saying tha
he had lodged a protest with the
President and Postmaster Gener
al, stating he would refuse to
carry the U. S. mails if the
parcel post business kept up, and
says other railroads are with him
in this. It may be Uncle Samue
will have to build his roads to
carry the mails or back down
The parcel post has been of vas
benefit to the people. Abraham
Lincoln, who was a good man,
said the country should be run,
"By the people, of the people
and for the people. " S n art men
have already prophesied that in
a few years the railroad and tele
graph lines will be owned by
Uncle Sam. Stranger things have
happened.
