The play is one of the most popular comedy dramas and is described as one of modern American life dealing with the vicissi tudes and Igayeties of youth and the consequences awaiting he who sows unwisely. The latest and best devices n the way of scenic effects are em ployed in this production. The special scenery carried is the perfec tion of art, prominent among which is the great scenic revelation Sunset from Kronk'a Tavern. The Salisburv Sun recently said. "Despite the inclemency of the weather "Reaping the Harvest" was greeted by the second largest audience that has attended a theatrical produc tion here this year. The reputation of this beautiful drama sufficed in draw ing a select and appreciative audhnce. The drama is exceedingly cleverly written and is full of action. There is no undue importance attached to any character and no monopoly of action on the part of any member of the cistr, nor is there a weak member in the company. Sparkling wit, comical situations and pathos are all so blend ed that the in tensest interest of the auditor is aroused and maintained from start to finish." LOCAL DOTS.

GREATER COAST LINE People Have Been Slow to Real ize Enormity of A. C. L.'s Latest Absorption. A MAGNIFICENT SYSTEM, Lines Ramifying Entire Territory Be tween Great Lakes, Golf of Mexico, Mississippi River and Atlantic Ocean-Mr. Walter's Part. Hardly had the railroad world re covered itself from the shock a few months ago when by a master stroke the Atlantic Coast Line took over the magnificent Plant System, than it again had a rude awakening by the &t nouncement the other day. that the A. C. Lt. had taken a long step fur ther and taken over theplendid Louis ville and Nashville railroad, thereby establishing itself as the one great rail road system of the South. This monster deal has been the talk of the week and everybody concedes that by its consummation Wilmington is to be immensely bsnefitted. The people at first could hardly realize the fact because of its enormity, but never theless subsequent events ave provea the story true and now they are waking up to a realization of what a magnificent system of railways has its headquarters here in our midst. Just after the absorption of the Plant system the' Star had occasion to cor rect upon it own responsibility repeat ed statements that were going the rounds of the press and believed by the skeptibal, to the effect that the Pennsylvania Railroad would eventu ally buy the entire route from Wash ington to Florida, and that the consol idation, just then effected, was the first move in that direction. The Star said at the time that it took pleasure in stat ing that no such opinion prevailed here; that the Atlantic Coast Line was a buyer, not a seller, and that Harry Walters was never a "quitter." Well informed men thought that he would then adopt as his motto: "Westward the star of empire takes its way." Time has proved the correctness of that manifestation of faith in the Coast Line and its backers. A general view of what the big deal just effected means may be gathered from the following, taken from yesterday's Charleston VNewa and Courier: The absorption of the Louisville and Nashville by the Atlantic Coast Line creates a new railroad system which in mileage, earnings and sit uation will be one of the most power ful and extensive in the entire coun try. The total mileage of the new sys tem will be in excess of 10,000 mile?, extending from Chicago and Wash ington on the north to New Orleans and Florida on the south, and from the Mississippi river on the west to the Atlantic coast on the east. 8ome idea of the extent to which the intervening territory Is covered may be gained from a statement of a few of the cities into which the new sys tem will possess entrances. Among the more prominent are the following: Chicago, Sr. Louis, Cincinnati, Mem phis, Nashville. New Orleans, Bir mingham, Montgomery, Pensacola, Atlanta, Charleston, Jacksonville, Tampa, Savannah, Augusta, Wil mington, Norfolk, Richmond and Washington. The creation of this system has been at a surprisingly rapid rate. A year ago the Atlantic Coast Line was oper ating only about 1,800 miles of road. Within a year it has grown into one of the most extensive railroad systems in the country. Last July the Savan nah, Florida and Western Railway (the old Plant system), which owned and controlled 2,234 miles of road, was absorbed. This brought the mileage of the At lantic Coast Line to about 4,000 miles. In addition the Atlantic Coast Line has a half interest in the lease of the Georgia Hailroad (615 miles) acquired in 1899 from the Louisville and Nash ville, and a sixth interest inRichmond Wasnington (115 miles) purchased in September, 1901. The Louisville and Nashville and its affiliated roads have around 5,400 miles of road. In addition the road owns a half interest in the Chicago, Indian apolis and Louisville, through which it possesses a direct entrance into Chicago. The new system will there fore either own or control more than 10,000 miles of road, completely rami fying the entire territory lying between the great lakes and the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi river and the At lantic Ocean. The annual gross earnings of the different roads Included in the new system are nearly as large as those of the New York Central. There have been few parallels in the history of the railroads of this country of sueh a rapid growth in mileage as that of the Atlantic Uoast LAne during me twelve months. last Mr. P. J. Gillcrlaln Dead. The Stab regrets to announce this morning Jhe death of Mr. P. J. Gil lerlain, an esteemed citizen who was formerly employed as a stone cutter at the marble yards .of Messrs. H. A. Tucker & Bro. in this city. Mr, Gil 1 rlain had been ill the past two years. He came here from Norfolk, Vs., about seven years ago and established for himself a good name in the com munity. He was about middle aged and leaves a wife and seven small children who have the sympathy of the community in their bereavemenL The Hibernian Benevolent Society of which Mr. Gillerlain was a member, is called to assemble in its hall this morning at 9 o'clock for the purpose of attending the funeral in a body.

Sontnport Correspondent Thinks the Star Largely In Error aa to the Bruns wick Citizens' Convention. A correspondent writing from South port takes the Star to task for its ob servations upon the result of the "Citizens' Mass Convention" at Lock wood's Folly Thursday, saying that the statement as to the Republican com position of the ticket is "largely" in error. The correspondent points out that Mr. Jenerette,the nominee for Rep resentative, has been and is at present a Populist, as if that party had an or ganization anywhere In North Caro lina. Mr. C. M. Leonard, the nomi nee for Cierk of the Court, our cor respondent further says, was the Dem ocratic nominee for the office of Reg ister of Deeds in 1901, and he "thinks" Mr. Leonard still claimed to be a "conservative" Democrat, all of which is perhaps true. Mr. David Ward, the nominee for Treasurer, it is still fur thur stated, was a candidate before the last Democratic county convention, and the inference,, of course, is that he was defeated, although the corre spondent says he Is regarded as a man true to Democratic principles. The correspondent, however, does not go on to say that the nominee for Sheriff is the present Republican Clerk of the Court; that the nominee for Register of Deeds is the present Republican Register of Deeds; that the nominee for surveyor now holds that office as a Republican, and that the nominee for coroner is regarded as one of the regulation type. There fore, with four of the nominees from the ranks of the Republicans; one from the Populists and two defeated Democratic candidates, does it seem the Star was target in error in stat ing that "Mr. Meares appears to be the only Democrat nominated!" Rather does it not seem that with the exception of Mr. Meares, the ticket is made up of Republicans, Popu lists and defeated Democratic candi dates? Not that the Star would cast the slightest reproach upon any of the gen tlemen named, but foi vindication's sake only. We are further told, though it was a point upon which the Stab did not touch because the information was not at hand, that Mr. Geo. H. Gray, who "made a strong fight for the Demo cratic nomination for the office of Reg ister of Deeds" at the recent county cocventioo, "made the opening re marks at the 'citizens' convention, de claring and dedcing his pmiion be fore the people of Brunswick." The Star is also taken to task for sying that the convention "was com posed entirely of Republious and Populists," a statement not made as a reading of the article will show. So much for vindication.

A SPLENDID ATTENDANCE. Headquarters Will Be Opened Monday. Reduced Rates on All Railroads An nonnced A Beautiful Electric Welcome Arch Notes. The Executive Committee of the Pythian Carnival and Merchants' Fall Festival is pushing right ahead with its work and if it doesn't provide a big show for the people here the first week in November, then the members of the eommittee and others who have instae-information will be fooled. The Executive Committee met last night in the parlors !of the new Py thian Hall in the Murchison National Bank building and the session was marked by the continued enthusiasm of each member. Chairman S. H. Fishblate presided and those in at tendance were Messrs. B. O. Stoee, J. D. Nutt, T. D. Meares, J. J Hop kins, L. B. Rogers, W. H. Yopp, J. T. Kitier, H. E. Boaitz, W. E Perdew and Maj. W. F. Robertson. Encouraging reports were heard from all departments and there were renewed pledges for earnest work upon the part of chairmen of the sev eral sub-committees. A telegram was read stating that Mr. Bert Hoss, manager of the Lay ton Carnival Company, will be here Monday to get the "lay of the land" for bringing the shows here. The Carnival Company proper will be aug mented here by a number of side at tractions from the State Fair, which comes off the week before the festival hre. The lithograph matter for the Car nival is already in the Express office here and Monday the work of getting it into the country and before the people will begin. This is in charge of Chairman Stone, of the Advertising Committee. Mr. Stone, recognizing the power of the press, is also enlist ing the support of all the newspapers in this section for the Carnival. The editors of country papers are being asked to talk up Wilmington's big 8 how and to promise their people a royal good time if they will come down for that week. Headquarters will be opened either on Front or Market streets on Monday and from that centre nothing but effort for the success of the Carnival will emanate. Some handsome sta tionery advertising the Fair has been printed and will be furnished either for the typewriter or pen to all busi ness men who will apply for it to the chairman of the Advertising Commit tee. Merchants are also being asked to allow the committee to print unob jectionable advertising matter on the back of their business envelopes call, ing attention to the Carnival. Mr. H. E. Bonitz, chairman of the Soliciting Committee, reported last night that contributions are still com ing in but they are none too fast. About $300 is still needed to make the week a success. A list of the contribu tors will be published next week. At the next meeting of the commit tee plans will be submitted for a hand some electric welcome arch, which, it is said, will surpass anything of the kind ever seen here. Dr. J. D. Nutt is at the head of this committee and is taking all the interest in the world in the event. Mr. Jno. R. Turrentine, Jr., was elected a member of the Executive Committee last night and placed in charge of the confetti department, which will be a feature of the big week. Several applications have already been made for booths and privileges. Perhaps the most important an nouncement at the meeting was in re gard to rates. The railroads have kindly offered to transport all Carnival visitors at the rate of one fare for the round trip, tickets limited to Sunday follow ing the close of the fair. These rates will apply to all stations between Wil mington and Wilson, Fayetteville, Florence, Newborn and Wadesboroon the several railroad lines. There will also be many excursions from up the river and from Southport, Little River, S. C, and other points. Next week great work will be the order with all the committees, and that will be kept up until the last tent in the midway is silently folded and sent away when "the ball is over." MR.
