Hadley Township, Sept 19. Governor Craig has set Septem ber 30 as the day for a special election in Granville county to elect a successor to Representa tive W. A. Devin, appointed judge. Several thousand southern Col orado coal miners belonging to the United Mine Workers of America struck Monday, chiefly for recognition of the union. Meetings of Committeemen. The last Legislature Dassed a law that there should be held in every township annually a meet- jin of committeemen and county superintendent tor consultation in regard to the selection ot teachers fon the public schools. Last Saturday. Sent. 20th. I held the last one of these meet ings in Hickory Mountain town shin ntthonvri house. It took me two weeks to make these rounds of townships. In several townships every district of both races was rep- resented by committeemen, and in all the townships these meet ings were well attended. These committeemen did not quit their work ?nd go to these appointed meeting places, in sunshine and in showers, merely to satisfy an idle curiosity as to what would be done at . these meetings, but they did so on ac count of an interest they felt in their schools. . And it has been said that com mitteemen are the most zealous schoolmen in the county, and I believe it. I was highly pleased at their good attendance and at the enthusiasm they manifested. In some counties there are formed associations of school committeemen for the purpose of planning better things for their schools. These meetings, I am informed, are very successful in promoting school interests. Why might not Chatham coun ty occasionally have such meet ings? Teachers.pl ease remember that the last public examination of this school year will be held in my office in Pittsboro on the sec ond Thursday in October for white teachers, and on Friday following for the colored teach ers. There will be no private examinations given unless the applicant was prevented from attending the public examination on account of strictly provident- Hal hindrances. R. P. JOHNSON, Co. Supt. of Pub. Instruction. A Cavalry Review. Washington, Sept 21. Preri dent Wilson will be given an op portunity during the first week of October to review the largest aggregatiori of mounted troops of the regular army that has as sembled in Washington since the grand review in the late sixties of the seasoned veterans led by Generals Grant, Sherman and Sheridan.

It is planned to have these reg iments march to Washington where the President may review them- During their stay here they will be encamped at Fort Myer, Va., and at the Washing ton barracks. There are Z.UUO men and horses in all. Their work at Winchester trving out various plans of troop, squadron. regimental and brigade forma- ion and the latest drills and ex ercises as set down by the caval ry board which studied European cavalry methods for some time has put them in the finest condi- lon.

Barnum & Bailey Attracting Thousands With Many New Novelty Features. The Barnum and Bailey Great- est Show on Earth is attracting unusual interest this season with its wonderful program of Euro pean novelties, its rebuilt par ade, its complete menagerie, and its recently added $500,000 world less spectacle of "Cleopatra,'' all of which will be seen in Raleigh on Oct. 9. The parade, which takes place at 10 o'clock in the morning, is three miles in length. In the menagerie will be found the only baby giraffe on exhibition any where on earth. The inaugural spectacle of "Cleopatra" is pro duced on the biggest stage ever devoted to an open air amuse ment. It is erected in the main tent of the show. There is a cast of 1,250 characters, a grand opera chorus of 400 voices, an orchestra of 100 musicians, a bal let of 350 dancing girls, 650 horses, five herds of elephants, caravans of camels, and an en tire trainload of special scenery, costumes and stage effects. This is the greatest pectular, theat rical and circus event in the his tory of amusements in America. Among the many European novelties on the regular program which follows the spectacle, are Katie Sandwina's wonderful strong-woman act and novelty feats by a company of Japanese warriors and jiu jitsu experts, Winston's riding and juggling seals, the FilUs troup of dancing and jumping horses, a brass band of stallions, Berzac's mule and monkey circus, the Siegrist-Sil-bon family of high air vaulters and somersaulters, Mae Wirth, the greatest bareback and som ersault rider in the world; Vic toria Codona, queen of high wire experts; the Georgetty family of strong arm jugglers, the Flor ence, Les Jardy and Les Deko families of acrobats, seven herds of trained elephants, and the fifty funniest clowns in the world. The Barnum and Bailey circus for more than fifty years has stood at the head of the world's amusement affairs. This year it is more interesting than ever before, and twice as big. It travels on a train more than a mile in length, covers fourteen acres of ground, and has nearly 1,560 employes, 700 horses, near ly two-thirds of the elephants in America, 110 cages in the me nagerie and over z.uuu wagons and other vehicles. The two performances that will be given in Raleigh will be exactly the same as those presented at Mad ison Square Garden, New York, where the season was opened in March. Not one detail has been changed. The great spectacle was said to be the most notable dramatic event in the history of amusements in that city, while the circus proper was credited with being the best ever given there. The Spanish Princess' Affliction. Manchester, England, Sept. 21. Relatives of the Queen of Spain have been shocked by the news that the second daughter of the Queen, like her second son, will be both deaf ond dumb, says the Manchester Guardian. It is feared that the little Span ish princess is totally deaf and unless this can be corrected she will probably never be able to speak. The pessimistic reports of the Royal physicians and specialists have nearly broke the heart of the Queen. She goes constantly wi th her children to the convents of the religious orders in and near Madrid to ask for prayers of intercession on their behalf and particularly of late on be half of her young daughter. Sanford Express: To give you some idea of the high price of things that are put on the San ford market we will state that a farmer came to town one day last week with 36 chickens, 4 hams and 2 pigs for sale. When he left town -her' carried away $36.80 as total, receipts for these things. The farmer may have been the bottom rail years ago, but he seems to be on the top rail now. The man who is work ing on a small salary or wages with a family to support is the fellow who is getting it "in. the neck." The production of coal in Ken tucky established a new record in 1912 with a total production of 16,490,521 short tons, accord ing to Edward W. Parker, coal statistician of the United States Geological Survey. Strengthen .Weak Kidneys. Don't suffer longer with weak kid neys. You can get prompt relief by taking Electric Bitters, that wonder ful remedy praised by women every where.

Nothing better for indigestion or biliousnsss. Price 50c and f 1 at G. R. Pilkington's. adv The mine output of gold, sil ver, copper, lead and zinc in Cal ifornia in 1912, according to Charles G. Yale, of the United oiates Aaeoioerieai survey, was valued at $26,383,946, an increase oi $i,zuy,zoy over tne corres ponding.value for the year 1911.
