"A Victim of Jealousy" (showing It to be the worst of human weak nesses). This subject shows the un reasonableness of a person possessed with this, what might be termed dis ease. The youug husband's Irration al jealousy makes him fiuspictous of every attention bestowed upon his ypua? wlt?. m?JUa* her lite u pell as ma titnranuat unendurable. There are many Ipcldents shown to Lm press him what a fool he is untJI finally when his wife'e patience has been tried to the extreme, and she threat ens to leave him, he Is awakened and realises his weakness. "All on Account of a Laundry Mark" Is a genuinely funny farce. The comic scenes of this picture can not be described. .They are simply great. "Fortune's- Fool" Is another good comedy. "Her Sister's 8in-," which Is a beau tiful and pathetic story, has a "way down deep In the heart'" emotional Interest. This is an 'all around good pro gram. and you should- be with the crowd at the Gaiety tonight. THE OEM. The Gem opens this week . with a strong bill. "The Miner and Csmllle" is a humorous film, having as its theme the vigorous action of a miner who see* Cam! lie for the first time and Jumps upon the stage and throws Armond off bodily when he is up braiding Camllle. The picture is hu morous in its action, and the excel lent worlc of the Edison plsyers and the clear photography make It an at tractive picture. "Ready in a Min ute" Is a novel comedy based upon the declaration of a pretty girl in a , pretty gown that She must change it , for a prettier gown before going to the theater, but she will be ready in a , minute. The plctore la one of thoee subtly humorous productions which prove how well . adapted the motion , picture Is to express anything realljr funny. "A* Case of Identity" Is -a de tective etory of considerable strength, well .staged and well acted. The story is well told and sufficiently strottg to hold great Interest, like many of the j Edison dramas. There is a quality difficult to define yet plainly apparent ( to every one who sees It. Other good pictures will be shown. On Wednes day evening a benefit will be given for the Washington Concert Band. Children wishing to sell tickets for same may call at Bell's Jewelry store. Prlxes will be given each child sell ing $2 worth of tickets. Music will be rendered b J the band.

It is calculated thst nearly 100. 000 people watched the flight and cheered Brooklns when he descended at 7.11 p. m. Bethany Plains, Itheims, July 10. ? Many records have been broken at the aviation meeting here during the week, but the most sensational flights have been made by Lee Morane. the French aviator, who today in a new 100-horsepower Blerlot monoplane,, covered five kilometres (3.10 miles) in two minutes and 66 seconds, and 10 kilometres In five minutes and 47 seconds, and by M. Labenchore, also a Frenchman, who broke the world's record for distance, flying 340 kilo-' metres (211.14 miles) in a single flight In four hours, 37 minutes and 46 seconds.

Aa com pared with his, they seemed to be standing still. The day closed with additional time and distance records. Oleoslagcr* re duced the 100 kilometres record to 1 hour and eight minutes.

Yesterday rras a One day with the Baptists In Washington At the Uoui of morning worship Dr. J. Hen. High smith. of Wake Forest College1, who is here to conduct an Institute fer the teachers of ffeaufort county, preach ed a splendid terraon. Hla subject was. "the Higher Life.* Those who were fortuuate enough to hear Dr. Hlghsmlth were charmed with his discourse. The speaker showed that the first step toward the higher life was the realization of our fltffrpes, physically, lntolicctua!ly and morally for the vocation we may choose. By many apt Illustrations, he showed the necessity of launching out upon the voyage of discovery to find seir. and In finding self la find our I A second step toward the hi life was a full and complete surren dering of ourselves to God. Without this step we cannot realize the higher Ideals which have marked the success of most of our greatest men. The third step toward the higher life was thu realisation of the pres ence of Ood in all our efforts. No life will succeed that supposes all the suc cesses In life the the result of mere chance. No life happens to succeed, but Is the result of careful prepara tion, assisted by the beneficent pres ence of Ood. The sermon made a profound Im pression, and the congregation is very fortunate in having Dr. Hlghsmlth to preach at both services nezt Sun day in the absence of the pastor. The evening service was in the na ture of an annl%ersary. The pastor. Rev. J. A. Sullivan, has completed three years' work. During this time the church has made splendid prog ress along many lines. The member ship is larger than it has ever been. The church 'raises considerably more money than ever before for Its va rious objects. The congregations are usually very large considering the size of the membership. A feature of the service last night was the roll call of members. Nearly every member of the church was ac counted for. One of the most pleasing Incidents was a paper presented by the effic ient clerk of the church, Mt?. Thos. J. Latham. He has been clerk of the church for aboyt 16 years, and It is safe to say that no more faithful church recorder can be found any where. His paper was a series of rem iniscences during and preceding his connection with the church. Thfcre was a vein 6*f humor running through the paper, and at the same time a note of pathos. In the hard and check ered career of the church. Statistics presented by iir. Latham showed that the church had been steadily growing from the time of Its reorganization In I860 from ll members to Its present strength of 186 members. Many ex p rested themselves as highly pleased with the historical value of the pa per. After the paper by Mr. Latham. Dr. Highsmith thrilled the congrega tion with a solo. "Do You See the Hebrew Captive?" The slmpllclty and ease with which he impresses the audience and Ills earnest nss remove* very indication of aiYeclation. After the servlco he remalued and at the re quest of those present, sang several more selections. By no means was the least number i on the program a brief address by j Rev. O. W. Coppedge. of Henderson. | He Is father to our esteemed young citizen, Mr. C. C. Coppedge, whom he Is visiting. Mr. Coppedge began by showing the exceeding love of God. which should call forth our most grateful service. His remarks were very much enjoyed. It was evident the speaker was trying to speak brief ly. and did not have time to develop fully the thoughts which he could merely suggest. The pastor Invited Mr. Coppedge to visit Washington again soon, and speak again on the subject which he ao beautifully Intro duced. After the regular service, the Lord's Supper was celebrated, and the larg est number of communicants In the present pastorate participated In the ^celebration. The service closed by singing "Blest by the Tie." work. WKKK-KXl) BALK. Tbo Week-End Sale at the store of James E. Clark Co. Saturday was a great succeas.

"I don't believe that Jeffries was in as good condition on July 4 as he was two weeks before that, and for that reason l am willing to give him a chance," said the champion. "I don't want any dispute about my ?u perlorlty. If they want to Ox a tight for Labor day at Reno I will do mj part, agd there won't be any quar rel about the division of the purse, either." Johnson took occasion to reiter ate his charge that a former manage: of his attempted to "fix" the fight fo: Jeffries to win. "He offered me the sum of 1300,000 providing I would bet half of It that Jeffries would win In the eighth round. He knew he could not get that sum back by bet ting on the outcome, and so wanted It fl^ed for a certain round. And there were a lot of people led to be lieve that I had been 'fixed.'

Washington, PC. C., July 4th, 1910. Mr. B. H. Thompson. Aurora, N. C. Dear Sir: ? 1 am informed by the Corporation Comml*?(on that you have complained at our passenger rate of 3c. per mile, and also at the | car afforded colored passengers. I | presume that your complaint as to the rate doeii not proreed from any III will toward us. but douhtlees you were under the impression that ail railroad* were only ullowed to charge 2 l-2c. two years after construction. The law Is that Independently owned and operated companies inay charge not to exceed 3c. per mile where tbfr mileage does not exceed one hundred miles In this State. I think you will agree with me that we are entitled to continue charging this rate for the reason that during the first year of our operations we earned only 50 per rent, of operating expenses and | during the la&t year, which ended June 30, we have earned operating expenses, but have been unable to pay one penny on our bonded Indebt edness, on the contrary we have had to borrow the money to pay the In terest on our bonds, so that tho stock holders. who are the owners of the property, hate received nothing and will receive nothing for a long time to come. If you will not accept this statement a? correct, I will be glad to show you the monthly statements for the past two years Sf our receipt* and expenditures, and I think you will then be astisfied that the rate is not excessive. The rate ought to be reduced a* soon as the road begins to earn anything, but you will agree that the stockholders ought to be entitled to six per cent, on their mon ey. when as a matter of fact they have received nothing, but on the contrary have had to borrow money to pay In terest on ttfe bonds. With this ex planation, I hope you will withdraw your complaint as to the rate, and the colored passenger car will be im proved Yours very truly, A. D. MAC L. 'A Is A Summons To Court Our LAW PRINTING Is done quickly, cor rectly and cheaply. *????????*??? ?r ? NHW ADVEHTISKMKXT8. ? ? 0?m TbMUr. ? ? Gaiety Theater ?
