There is a certain novelty In this atory In that the plot and theme la something out of the ordl n?ry. Prom every viewpoint It la a masterpiece of fine art in production of photography.

Remember you always Bee the best onee^gat at the Gaiety. REGRETS MAKING STATEMENT. To thePubUc: . I am a brother-in-law of Mr. W. F. Wlnstead. of WlnsteadvlUe. N. C.. and think a great deal of him. When I was last at North Creek it was cur rently reported that Mr. Wlnstead voted just as he saw fit and so In formed Mr. Tayloe. Therefore. I suppose this information Is what Mr. Tayloe baaed his statement onj I know Joe Tayloe well and am sure he desires to drive no Democrat out of the party, but would do all In In his power to get every white man In Beaufort county to vote the straight Democratic ticket. If i was misinformed. I regret ex ceedingly that I should have ever mentioned this matter to Mr. Tayloe. I make this statement .voluntarily, In Justice to both MfTWlnstead and Mr. Tayloe. who are both my friends. Washington. N. C.. July 28. l?10. I am Itideed glad to be able to pob liah the above atatement of Mr. W. R. Pedrlck, aa It gives me much pleasure to learn that Mr. Wlnstead la a good Democrat, and I hope he and all other good men. like myself, will always remain true to Democracy. The many friends of Rev. J. A. Sul livan. pastor of the Pint Baptist .Church, will regret to learn of hU Pl^"?r^dJ~'?' - W. R. PEDRICK. JOS, F. TAYLOE. IB INDISPOSED. HE WILL NOT SULK Old Officials Good, But will Sup port New Ones if Nominated. NEW CANDIDATES ALRIGHT i.rownu ? <% in Mupport the New ('?ndktete* If Nominated ? No Democrat WW Be Aaluuned for so Doing. tfr. Editor: What a hubbub! When that grand )ld man wan chosen term after ttrm i? sheiff of this count/, there wan the lame old woeful cry, "Injuring the Democratic party." Bosh! Wasn't It the Democratic party electing him? [ have been a {althful, though weak member of the good old party for many, many years, t^ut when the day ?omes that this samXgood old party :an be Injured by katplag '.rue and tried men in offlce. I am afraid the aid man will have to stay at home, tf every one of the present officer" are renominated, as they will be. not a Democrat In Beaufoft county willj itay sway from the polls on that ac-l ;ount. Yea, we have lost many votes since 1900. and all who have eyea to see know why. First cause? The amend ment made elections easy and sure, rhe second cause ? This county and antlre State wilt have to face In four. If not two years hence, Put this in four hat. I am personally acquainted with Messrs. Harns and Mixon. and know them to be good men. Mr. Mayo bears Just as god a nsmc as either of the others. Let every man who wishes to do so vote for them at the prima ries. They will never be ashamed for so doing. But Btop this foolish cry of Injuring the Democratic party. That cry does the party more Injury than keeping good men in office. The present officials are good enough for me, and I shall vote for them at the. primary. There is not one of them who has ever failed in the performance of his duties so far rb I know. One of them as a speaker has ever been ready st all times and under all circumstances to preach the faith that Is in hljn. If the opposition candidates should happen to bo nominated, I shall will ingly and freely work and vote for them. I shall not sulk. There is neither Bplte or malice In my political make-up. I am just simply an old Democrat and can't help it. Yours truly, JOHN T. BELL. Washington. N. C., July 28. 1910. CAT EXTERMINATOR. Mr. W. B. Morton !? the city's champion oat exterminator and hia neighbors, those who have been mo lested lately by the cat family, owe him a lasting debt of gratitude. Mr. Morton hit upon a hovel plan to ex terpate them. He constructed a box tlrpate after his own Idea and dur- 1 Ing the past ten days has succeeded In capturing Ave ? all of which have been delegated to that country where all cats go. Mr. Morton, on going to his box one morning, found more than he bargained for. What was his surprise to find that he had land ed a fine fat 'possum. Since then the chickens in the neighborhood are not being missed so much. MUCH IMPROVED.

Nathan iel Harding. The interment waa in Oakdale. 3 REKliS AT THK GEM. The G?m program laat night was another pleasing attraction, and to night the bill advertised If anything will far surpass that of last evening. "The Closed Door" is a strong vlta-| graph emotional drama of a type which leaves a lasting Impression. The story Is vigorously told, and so I Interesting that it makes the breath come quick during the most thrilling acenea. "Maid or the Mountains." an Eclipse drama of interest with a set- 1 tin* of romantic Bcenery, well acted and beautifully photographed. iLIke all the pictures that come from this house, it has numerous ex cellenclee and these will be found quite up to the Urban standpoint. "In honor of the Matador" la one of \ those always Interesting Mexican i dramas, scenes of which center In | and around the hull ring. Much op portunity is given for displaying many beautiful Spanish costumda, making this picture a great epectacu "The Wleards Walking Stick" U a magical comedy drama following ?long entirely different lines than the work, n will ntvuin In 8outh Bend, Ind-, July 27.? Mob attacks ou a freight tra'^, ending with the ditching of the entire tra'?? to kill crew were the chief happenings six cars and tux unsuccessful effort of the lest twenty-four hours In the 'strike on the Grand ^unk Railroad. It is feared that the climax will be reached today. Striker* have threat ened to kill all no*a?silon ?-*rewa. The wrecking of the freight train was forecasted by the strike sympa thisers when the half dosen cars, heavily loaded with emergency freight and under a heavy guard of ^peclal officers, left South Bend I At Kiagsbury the train was met near the station by a big mob of sym pathetic friends of the strikers, who derailed the cars and rolled all Into the ditch along the right of way. An attack on the non-union crew occurred last night when psssenger train No. II. due at 6.40 P- M.. ar rived. The police had learned In ad vance that the strike sympathise? had a plsn arranged whereby the i crew was to.be kidnapped. Despite the heavily armed police who lined the tracks a s the pas&enger train pulled into the station, the mob made a rush for the train and the po lice were so close to the cars that thejr could do little to protect them selves or the crew from the charge Several shots were fired by persdns I In the crowd, and one man. bellevec ito have been armed, was seized by i the police. The c rew stepped down I among the officers and succeeded in | gaining the baggap^ room of the sta tion. More strike-breakers are to be imported from Chicago tonight and tomorrow. PAMLICO BEACH This Summer Resort I* All That Could Be Desired. Pamlico Beach is becoming. to be the popular summer resort In this section of the State. Since the season opened there has been a steady stream of vis itors, and all who have returned are loud in their praises not only of the management of the hotel, but of the pleasant way they have of reaching the beach. ' . Last Sunday it was the privilege of the editor*of this paper to visit this resort. He had often heard of Its attractiveness and suitableness, but he had no Idea or conception of its environments until he went and saw personally for himself. Pamlico Beach is all that Is claimed for It. The hotel, under the management of Mr. J. B. Whitehurst. is Ideally situ ated. The entire building has been i entirely renovated from top to bot jtom. All the rooms are large and roomy and the cuslne cannot be sur passed anywhere. Mr. Whitehurst is well fitted for his duties. He is cour teous. urbane and polite. He looks 1 personally after the wants ajkd de sires of each guest. His table lacks 'nothing temping and Inviting. As for bathing and fishing, Pamlico Beach ranks well up with the famous re sorts on the Atlantic Coast. The editor left Washington last Sunday morning at 8 o'clock on the steamer Hatteras. under the com mand of that prince of skippers. Capt. j Herbert Bonner. The sail down the placid Pamlico waq one of the most enjoyable parts of the day. Here I courtesy Is exhibited on all sides. Captain Bonner Is not only a clever land accommodating officer, but Is one of the most efficient on the river. The meals served on board would do credit to the finest hotel. Taken all in *11. Sunday was a day long to be remembered by the editor. Thoae who complain of hot weather and long for eshileratln* breese should not fall to take In Pamlico Beach ? there every want can easily be gratl Ua4. UNCALLED IjKTTBBS.
