An Excellent Suggestion. A" prominent citizen and business man of town today suggested “that the town commissioners present the rental from the opera house this season to the town clock fund, in stead of allowing another carnival to exhibit in Tarboro. “Every time a carnival exhibits her the showmen carry away from $2, 500 to $3,0(j0 from the community. They can well afford to present the rental from the opera house and re tain the greater amount, which will be spent with our merchants, in stead of going to a show.” Smith’s Greatest Shows will exhib it in Tarboro the latter part of next month, the week beginning October 26th, for the benefit of the town clock fund. Mayor Jones hopes by this means to secure at least $250, which will swell the fund to almost the necessary amount for a town clock. When Mayor Jones was elected he stated, “That he would install a clock in the town hall during his ad ministration.” Following upon this statement the mayor has secured the above shows. Smith’s Greatest Shows, while not exactly a carnival, consist of nine shows, a high diver and fan Italian band of 18 pieces. It promises to be a star attraction and undoubtedly Mayor Jones will secure the much wanted money. The contract with Smith’s Great est Shows was made Wednesday night. Miss Emma Hill Secured U. D. C. * Scholarship. Miss Emma Hill, a graduate of the class of 1908, of the Tarboro high school, has been awarded one of the two scholarships offered by the Daughters of the Confederacy of the State, and left today to enter the Normal College at Greensboro. This scholarship was secured througl Miss Emily Austin, president of the Edgecombe Alumnae Association of the Normal. Miss Hill is a most worthy student and her many friends will be glad to lear*n of her good fortune. A Repopocrat. In a recent political addres, J. K. B., the author of “Potted Fiction” referred to a certain politician who had changed his party so frequent ly that it wa# difficult to say just where he stood. “I cannot call him a Republican,” said Mr. Bangs, “although he has been one. He has also been a Dem ocrat at intervals, and I have reason t* believe that he has cast sheeps7 eyes at the Populists. His political coat has rivaled that of Joseph in the diversity of itf colors, and I fjijd some difficulty in classifying him cor^ctly.” The spacer paused for a moment, and then tys ey# lighted up. eUnless perhaps we coin a compos ite term and make him g leader of the Repopocats/' He Guessed Right. 1 A crowd of small boys were gath ered about the entrance of a circus t.fcn£ in one of the small cities of New Hampshire ,qne day trying to get a glimpse of this i^i^rjor, A man stand ing near watched them ft few moments, then ypalked up to the Upk. et-taker, and said: •“I^et all these boys in, and count ,thewi *}£ they pass.” The ,did as requested, and yhen the last had gone he lyrned and'said, ‘ “Twem^.cjfht.” said’the ma,n. “I gues^d just jvaiked' off.—Harper's Weekly. _We handle all kind of shfeU, doors, blinds and mouldings. Tar Riv er Mills TARBORO FIRST. In Proportion to Population and Wealth She Leads the State. Some persons in every town can be found to decry it, but the most pes simistic, soured kicker in this place can not deny that in proportion to population and in proportion to wealth not a city or town in the State is the equal of Tarboro, in the number of shares carried in the building and loan associations we doubt if there is one in the Union. The reports of the corporation com mission show that Charlotte and Wilmington have more shares than we have but in the proportion we have named they do not begin to | come up to Tarboro. This is a record for all of us to be pardonably proud, a record that we should put forth every endeavor to hold. The opportunity will soon 1 offered. Saturday October 3rd, when the Tarboro Building & Loan Asso ciation will open its books for sub scription to stock in its third series. There is no good reason why one or more in every family should not sub scribe to this stock. There are few who cannot spare a 25 cents piece each week. There are few of us who do not unnecessarily spend need lessly and perhaps uselessly much more than this. So why not drop in at the Bank of Tarboro and turn it over to Braxton Hussey? who will take it, invest it for yon and at the end of a little over six years hand you back $100. One hundred' dollars saved by cutting off a little extrav agance, the practice of some self denial. It may be that before this stock matures you may wish to build you a home or improve the one you have. The B. & L. will be found “Johnnie on the Spot,” for you. It will lend you money to the par value of your stock, permitting you to pay it back in installments. In fact the only extra charge will be the inter est paid in weekly. The stock will mature in the timei we have stated and the debt will be cancelled, be cause those weekly deposits of quar ters of a dollar have paid the debt. If you do not wish to build or im prove your home, some one else will and the B. & L. presents the oppor tunity to do good to one’s fellow and yet be profited individually and di rectly thereby. Other downs are appreciating the great benefits that accrue to the community from building and loan associations and are organizing them. Tarboro, as we have before shown has passed this stage long ago and is the premier Building & Loan to.wn of the State. Let us all unite to keep it such. 'How To Got Strong. P. J. Daly, of 1247 W. Congress St., Chicago, tells of a way tt be come strong: He says: “My mother, who is old and was very feeble, is deriving so much benefit from Elec trie Bitters, that I feel itfs my duty to tell those who need a tonic and strengthening medicine about it. In my mother’s case a marked gain in flesh has resulted, insomnia has been overcome, and she is steadily grow ing stronger.” Electric Bitters quick ly remedy stomach, liver and kid ney complaints.

One of the most interesting meet ings in the history of the Magazine Club was held Thursday evening at the home of Miss Kate Cheshire Many of the members were present Miss Mary Irwin Bridger*3 read a paper on “Merlin and Vivien,” one of the Idylls of the Kings, which are being studied by the club. In giving “Current Events” Miss Cheshire embodied under this sub ject, “A Trip Abroad,” Miss Cheshire also gave a very interesting account of her trip'to the Pan-Anglican con ference held in London, the trip to Scotland and the Continent. The talk was replete in details observed dur ing the tour and thoroughly imbued with the characterization of the French and English people. Following the programme a delic ious repast was served. To each place card was attached a bunch of heather, and the cards bore this in scription, “Greetings from the Land of Scot.” The home was tastefully decorated for the occasion. THE BOURNE CLAIM. Very Proper Insistence On a Decision „ One Way or Another. Editor Southerner: In your report of the proceedings before the town commissioners, as in your issue of the 15th inst., you say the commissioners take the posi tion that if they award Mr. Bourne the $875 as assessed as damages by the two commissioners appointed by the Court in his suit against the A. C. L. R. R. and the town of Tarboro being made party to the suit, that the town commissioners would be personally responsible for the amount if one citizen objected to said amount. I want to say that the minor child ren that I represent to whom the mo ey goes if paid would scorn to ac cept one penny of said money, if it in any way, would involve the public officials with such a personal responsibility. They live and move in a purer and higher atmosphere and have a clearer and higher idea and conception of justive and^ right than at the expense of an other in the discharge of his public duty. I now ask in their name for the commissioners to pass upon the claim and say first if it is a just claim, and then dispose ofit as they see that is their duty to do. I regreted you did not report exactly what trans pired before the board. I offered them if they would give me the amount of damages awarded me by the ap praisere, that I would give them the ware house or, |n other words, I would sell them the ware house for the amount of damage awarded me. There is no lawr that will hold them personally responsible for this act. The town charter gives them the right to purchase and sell property. The ware house will pay a rental of twelve and a half per cent on the purchased price. If the claim is just, this looks reasonable and fair. If the claim is not just then not a cent of that ought to be paid. Sitting oh his front porch, Judge Howard one evening, about this time who was a beneficiary of this spur track that destroyed my business and benefited him by running to hi war*e house, that the town had giv en away for a dye house and he had purchased it, remarked to me that the town had no right to run across this land without my permission and he was a lawyer £ind had been a judge. Of all his vast estate left this was the richest legacy his children inherited and will last longer than all the wealth he bequeathed to his descendants. It was a sentiment of justice expressed where he was in terested and against his interest, that will never die. The town commissioners gave a way a lot jijst north of this lot with only a street between and made a deed for the same in express vio lation of the town charter and there was no kick. They gave away this dye lot just south and adjoining my lot and there was no kic^ and the party that it was given to sold it in less than three weeks after he had received a deed to game from fhe tqwn and mgvqd all his dy^ machin ery away. Poes thi? lot leased to me possess any particular charm for the town or is it a sacred spot that some day the authorities expect to erect a temple to “Fides?” The fatal error in the lease was made by direction of the commission ers in ordering the lease written as was adopted by the towrn. There is an old law maxim, that a party has ng right to take the legal advantage of his’ pwh ptroi'. A man who owns property, as ft yule, jnahtes a good citizen, self-inter est makes him so; for what effects and a man who suffers, wrong at the hands of a corporation is every man’s cause, because under similar circum stances and conditions he will be visited with the same injustice. I must believe your reporter maflg a mistake or misunderstood the infor matiun because the town commission era are a body qf intelligent gentle men and if the eJftim js § ju§| gne there are plenty of ways tp pay jt Inside of the law. If It isn’t a just claim, don’t pay it and I only re ! fleet the sentiment of my children. I H. C. BOURNE. | I —S-eud u? an ordgr for wood. Quick I filling. W R]Ver ! ' ‘ ‘' v ' SATURDAY NIGHT TALKS. The Sweetest of Singers. Cvery Pec pie has its Poet, But David is the King of All. (Psalm 18) Every nation has its sweet singer, some naan whose soul hds been kindled with the fire of poetry, and who stirs the blood and enriches the literature of his native land with songs, sentimental, patriotic, devout, inspiring. To blot out the poetry ol the nations would be to rob classic lore of half its charm. The poets of history are a wreath-crowned host whose names wjll n^ven die. But if ww ask jvho is the king of al poets, the central sun around whom all lesser lights revolve, there is but one answer, David, the writer of the Pslams, the sweet singer of IsreaL, stands acknowledged as the univer sal leader—he is the poet of the world. Greece has her Horner, Eng land has her Shakespeare, America has her Longfeliow. but David sings for all lands and all ages, an.l over leaps all geographical boundaries. When his record as a warrior has been forgotten, when the story of his kingly reign has been overshad owed by other earthly monarchs, his Psalms will still remain the univer sal song book, unapproached and un approachable. These Psalms have furnished the bridal hymns, the battle songs, the prayers, and jubilee praises of every nation in Christendom. They have rolled through the din of every great ! European battlefield; they have peal ed through the roar of the storm in every ocean highway of the world. Drake’s sailors sang them when they clave the virgin waters of the Pacific Frobisher’s when they dashed against the barriers of Arctic ice and night. They floated over the waters on that day when England held her freedom against Pope and Spaniard. They crossed the ocean in the cabin of the Mayflower; were sung round Crom well’s campfires, and his Ironsides charged the Cavaliers to their mar tial music. In palace hall, by happy firesides, in squalid rooms, in pauper wards, in prison cells, in the dim aisles of great cathedrals, within the plain walls of Puritan meeting houses, in the groves of mighty for ests—the first temples—and in lonely wildernesses—everywhere, they have expressed the moan of contrition, the song of triumph, the tearful reminis cence and the Wrestling petition of the human race. Thus every age and every generation has made use of this inspired song book. And they have never come to it in vain. The psalms have given a staff to the weary pilgrim, a sword to the wan ring saint, a solace to the weeping mourner, a penitential prayer yto the backslider, a shout of victory to the pardoned rebel, and a pillow of peace to the dying believer. Prophet, priest and king have gone to these Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs, orators have embellished their most eloquent flights with extracts from them, and all literature is en riched with quotations from them; they were often on the lips of Jesus Christ Himself. All of the Psalms are wonderful, but a few of them are worthy of being sung through qternitv. As Ed ward Irving says, ‘Every angel of joy and of sorrow swept, as he pass ed, over David’s harp;’ and “the hearts of a hundred men strove and struggled together within the narrow continent of his single heart.’ Of the 150 lyrics in the collection at least 73 are by the poet David. If David had written but qne Psalm the 23rd, that solitary song would have made him immortal. Its mel ody can never perish from the earth. Henry Ward Beecher thus described it; The 23rd Psalm is the nightingale of the Psalms. It is small of a homely feather, singing shyly out of obscur ity; but oil! it has filled the air of the whole world with melodious joy. greater than the heart can conceive. Blessed the (Jay qg ^hjcjj tha^ p$alm was born! 6U*d’bas sept it to speak it every language on theglobe. It has charmed more griefs to rest than all the philosophers of the world. It has remanded to their dungeons more felon thoughts, more black doubts, than there are sands on the seashore, it has sung to thq army qf the dis apointed. It has poured balm and con solation Into the hearts qlE the sick of captives in dungeons, of widows in pinching grief, of opphang Jn {.heir loneliness. Dying s°ldiers have died easier as it was r§ad to them; ghast ly hospitals have been illuminated; it has visited the prisoner and broken his chains, and like Peter’s angel, led him forth in imagination, and sung him back to his home again. It has made the dying Christian slave freer than hig ®agtep gnd pqnsqlpd those wht>o$, (lying, he l$ft behind" mpurn ing not go much that he was gone as because they were left hefting gnd could n©t go tg, Is |t§ work dong, It will go singing to your children and my children, and to their children, through all the genera tions of time; nor will it fold its wing until the la^t gen^rat^n is safe, and ||m« ended; a^d then it' shall fly hac& to the bhSQih'Q^ G<jd, whence It issued, and sound o,n, mingled ^Hh ail those SQunde tjf celestial joy which make heaven musical forever-, Injured by F»ll In Court House.

Way badly bfuiselhby 4ccidOBt, UNAVOIDABLE DELAY ON NEW SANCTUARY Howard Memorial Presbyterian Church Will Not ba Completed This Year. The new Howard Memorial Pres byterian church, which is being erected at a cost of $15,000, will not be completed this ye^r according to a statement made by the contractors. | The masons have been delayed in fin ishing the cornices owing to the slow shipment of brick, and after several weeks delay resumed work Thursday. It will require at least two weeks of good weather to com plete the masonry. The delay has been unavoidable in several cases. Mr. Sherin, who has charge of the wood work, states that it will be im possible to complete the interior of the sanctuary before early Spring, since he has been delayed by the br<ick work. When work was started on this new building, it was hoped to com plete the church by Christmas, but now it will be unable to dedicate Tarboro’s new sanctuary before Eas ter, 1909, which would be a very ap propriate day. PERSIA’S ARMY. Most Wretched Aggregation of Troops in the world. The army of Persia is the most wretched aggregation of troops in the world. It is composed entirely of in fantry, which never gets paid, be cause the officers need the money. No one has ever been able to discov er that it wears a uniform, and its weapons are mostly muzle loaders tha are too dangerous to shoot, or breech loaders with hammers that drop off by the wayside.,There is, it is said, a theoretical uniform consistin of tun blue or red cotton trousers and a black felt hat with a brass badge having the token of the Lion and the Sun, but the soldiers actau»lly wear any thing that comes handy. Sometimes they are garbed at a cast-off-clothes shop in the varelagated splendor of a London “bobby,” a French sailor and a Yankee marine. When the arm) is on the march it looks like an insurrectionary force of peddlers Each man has baggage enough to start housekeeping, and since he is unable to carry It blmsself he clubs in with two or three others to buy a donkey, on whose back is piled a mountain of water jars, bedding, pots and pans; also rifles and ammuni tion. The soldier himself jogs along barefoot or wearing a pair of cot ton shoes. He carries a short stick to beat the donkey and support him self in an arduous pilgrimage. If he has the exceptional means to af ford it, he employs a donkey all for himself and, lying across the back of the unhapy little beast, face down and one leg trailing in the dusty road, enjqyg a siesta while on the march. It is not quite as comfortable as a Pullman, what with flies, and a blazing sun, not to mentioh the danger of falling off. The army travels in extremely dis located order, depending on the idio syncrasies of the donkeys and the whims of the mules whq c^y tentage. Bat^alipns and regiments get entirely mixed up. The vanguard is generally 10 miles in the rear, it is said. An imposing and irregular dissonance, made up of the rattle of tinware, the clink of hoofs against stones, the snores of naping soldiers and shrill cries urging donkeys on ward marks the advance of the Shah’s, gallant troqp^. -— -’ ' — • -- A Payin?

AMUSEMENTS. “On the Bridge at Midnight” , Extraordinary excellence in story, plot and scenery are seldom found in the plays of a melodramatic tinge, but George Klimt and Frank Gazzolo have succeeded in achieving this rare union, and the many thousands who have seen “On the Bridge at Mid night” are aware .On the one hand the sensational trash play is brigh tened with real comedy, genuine heart interest and an altogether exception al embellishment of scenery that in cludes one of the masterpieces of the modern stage, the $10,000 production of the engineering triumph of Chica go, its giant “Jack-knife” or lift ditaw bridge. This play will be pre sented here next Thursday evening, the 24th. J. A. Coburn’s Greatest Minstrels. Watch for the published programme of the free band concert next Friday 25th. “J. A.'

The show itself is entirely new and re ported the best ever organized by this date at the opera house. A College of Comedy. There is no circus complete unless the clown is one of the conspicuous figures. So numerous are these funny fellows with the great Cole Brothers’ Shows that their department has been christened “the clowns’ college of comedy.” This bunch of laugh-provok ers is headed by that king of droll mimics, Harry Clark, who for nearly 20 years has done more to drdve a way the blues and cause audiences to realize that life was worth liv ing than any other man who ever donned face paint and polka dot pan taloons. While the clowns with the sterling aggregation of Cole Brothers are remarkably funny, they are not at all foolish, and the pranks they play on each other, the witty jokes they perpetuate are of the wholesome, healthy kind and more spontaneous than studied. One thing that this show will not tolerate is anything sug gestive. Mr. Downs has said that a clown who cannot be funny without being vulgar should never be allow ed to enter a circus ring. In the crowd of fun-makers to be seen with this show are talking and sing ing clowns, burlesquers, buffoons, pan taloons and the agile clowns who perform the most difficult feats in mid air, on the ground and on horse back. Almost every nation is repre sented in thein startling tricks and when the funniest fellow of every na tion is assembled in one school of comical doings, laughter cannot be suppressed. The Great Cole Brothers’ Shows will be at Tarboro, on Tuesday, September- 29th. On this day the performers will be preceded by a kaleidoscopic like, street parade, which wili leave the show grounds promptly at 10 o’clock and pass over {he principal streets. How’s This?
