The Gaiety will present another prograntvof It* usual high standard tonightyConalstlng of three full reels of motion pictures, all of which are features. yRomeo and Juliet In Our Town" la a comedy drama. Romfeo Brown and Juliet Smith appreciate the old adage. "True love never runs smooth." Owing to the unfriendly re lations of the houaea of Brown and Smith their meetings are clandestine and only apaaaodlc. They are wend ing their way down the Zlgsag av enue of ShAntytown, Wyoming, coo ing and nestling words of love, not even to be disturbed by a village I dogfight, or warring factions of the Browns and 8mlth* until taken re spectively over the parental knee. They are for a time separated, but like the proverbial cat ? "they came back." The barn dance ? Romeo thrown out ? contrives to kidnap the fair Juliet by descending from the hay'loft by a rope and carrying her off to his enchanted castle? constern ation prevails ? but they beat the army of the factions to tho Justice of the peaco who said, as Shakespeare wrote ? "Get home, gol ding yer. and Into yer beds. p. I've married thtfse young uns, yeh mutton-heads." "The Love Romance of a Girl Spy" ! is another war drama of the Kalem kind. That means splendid photog raphy. brilliant action and scenic surroundings that absolutely fit the picture. "Speed versus Death" Is a drama. The careful costuming and icafxgnutant staging make this an ex- ; ceptlonally pretentious film. This en tire bill is a feature and ynu should not miss It. Remember, you always see the beat ones first at th Gaiety. TENDERS RESIGNATION. Policeman W. R. Pedrlck tendered his resignation *5 city policeman to i the Board of City Aldermen last night. Hfa successor will be named at the next meeting. Mr. M. F. Wright, sanitary Inspector, also tendered his resignation. Mr. Alex G. Spencer was selected to fill out the unexpired term. He qual ified before the mayor this morning and at once entered upon bis du ties. * CITY ORDINANCE. At a regular meeting held on Aug ust 1st, 1910, the Board of Aldermen of the City of Washington do enact the following ordinance: Be it ordained that no person, firm or corporation selling near beer'sh^ll for any purpose whatever use his up stairs floor, and that all communica tion with upper fl^rs shall be fasten ed up to the satisiactlon of the chief of police or any police offlcfer. And no person or persons selling near beer shall enter his near beer saloon on Sunday, nor shall he allow any other person to enter it on the Sab bath day. And it is further ordained that.no person or persons selling near beer shall keep his near beer saloon Dpen later than 10.30 p. m.. and for jvery violation of this ordinance there Bhall be a fine of twenty-flve dollars for each and every offense. This act shall be in force from and alter its ratification. c. H. 8TERL1NG. Mayor. Attest: W. B. WINDLEY. City Clerk. j AT THE GEM-1?1 REELS TONIGHT The patrons of the Gem Theater will certainly get their money's worth tonight, ff long and varied program will be presented, covering a wide ?cope of varous subjects. The follow ing pictures will be shown: , "Romeo Turns Bandit" Not a bad scheme this, when the dismissed suit or tarns bandit and captures the daughter, demanding a ransom for her release, resulting in an amusing complication, offering a novelty In the dual character of the suitor. "Little Mary and Her Dolly." A simple story yet because It Involves the grief of a child, -and Its subsequent healing. Is certain to attract ator* than ordinary n teres t. "Max Leads Them a Novel phase." Novelty is an Essential fea turdhn pictures of this make, and WMB so much ks crowded Into on* Its sure*to be popular, as this one Is. "Capturing <5ub Bears." representing peasants in Arlege. France, capturing cub beiars. The funny antics of the little bears In their endeavors to es cape. add greatly to the Interest of the fllm. "Wife or Child." In reality thlt picture la a subtle study In theVm pulses and Influences which men's oetlon*. and as such It posseesei more than the ordinary dramatic anl ethical interest. ^ ATTEND PRIMARIES FRIDAY 4 SATUROA; Indications are that the People will vote by a Large Majority for Two Terms abd Salaries for County Officers- Moat Important Primary in a Decade. The primaries for t he nominations for count)' officer. wiu be held throughout^ the rounty during this In Washington and Belharon they win be held next Friday night. Aug ust 6th. and In ?be other voting pre ducts of the county on Saturday August 6th. This la the roost important primary in ten year*. From present indications a large majority of our voters favor two terms for county officers and fair sal aries Instead of fat fees. You can establish these policies If you attend your primary ? vote your conviction. If you favor two terms and salaries vote for all the new can didates; do not vote for any of the old candidates because of personal fa vors extended to you- The new man when elected will give you the same courtesy and consideration. Ita their business. They are paid to do it and you do not get much more than you pay for. If you stay at home this time you cannot complain at the result. Go to this primary and vote. The News suggests in the interest of harmony that at each precinct where ballots are used, the chairman appoint two tellers, one to represent the new candidates, one to represent the old candidates? these men to resd the ballots, and two secretaries to take down the vote as cast. Let there be no chance for any i-harge of unfairness. Already there have been too many things done and said that were not good policy. It was not fair to charge the editor of this paper wljth having made the "lalm that he could carry South Creek. This was very pron^otly discovered, denounced, proof cailed for, and those making the charge shut their mouths, but the, people understood the pur pose of the report, and It did the parties originating it no good. It was unfair to spread the report In Belhaven that E. R. Mlxon is a Re publican. Everybody soon learned the Falsity ofjauch z report and It did not hurt Mr. Mlxon in Belhaven, but turn ed In his favor many fair men who disapprove of such methods and who have known that Mr. Mlxon ha* bee: a Democrat all his life. It was unfair to Captain Harris t circulate a report that he wou It withdraw; this report was made it. accordanre with their wishes. be cause they made a nattering propoei- . Hon to Captain Harris to induce hiu. to withdraw. * Their eftorts were lu vain, as Cap tan Harris is a man whose character and reputation no man can impeach, sud he has said through this paper that he never bad any Intention or withdrawing. A prominent professional man of this town claiming that he could guar antqe that the agreement would be carried out, proposed to the editor of the News that if the new candi dates would withdraw from tbe light this time that the present office-hold ers would get out two years from now and give their support to these new candidates then. The editor of the News declined to ?<"! consider the proposition for three reasons : First. That the editor of ^hls paper bad no more influence with the new candidates than did any other good Democrat of the county, and had no authority to enter into any suc*i agreement. Second. That the same reasons which would prompt the present of ficeholders to withdraw two years from now existed in favor of "their withdrawal at this time. Third. That the editor of this paper la not in the slate-making business, ind would not presume to try to name candidates for the people of Beaufort county to vote for two years from this time. The selection of candidate* is a matter for the voters of the county to leclde. and thn editor of his paper s willing to trust it to the people They can always be depended upon .0 select good men. Let the people ignore all reports rlrculated which would Impeach the character of the candidates and let hem go to the primary, vote their ?onvlctlon, see to It that the vote is cast is correctly recorded. and jorrectly reported to the county con rentlon. A SAD DEATH. The entire community was shocked Saturday afternoon when the sad, news was spread through the neigh borhood that lightning had killed Mr. Hardy fallings, of Stalllngs' cross roads. During the electrical Btorzn Satur day afternoon Mr. Stallings was out near his home with hln mule and cart, and Just as he reached his gate, light ning struck a pine which he was Just passing under and killed htm and his mule instantly. Mr. Stalling# was a good man, al ways ready to help his neighbors In time of need, and today every heart is made sad oy the thought that he has gone never to return again. 1 He connected himself with the Christian Church at Old Ford some years ago. and has always been true to the teachings of his Master. I The funeral was conducted by hlB -pastor. Rev. W. A. Davis, at the resi dence Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, and the Interment was at his home. He leaves a wife and three chil dren to mourn their loss, but grieve not, dear ones for he Is at rest. Comfort thyself. for if ho cannot be with thee, you may surely be with Ihlm soon, to part never more, and walk through the pearly gates of hea ven where sorrow is never known. "81eep on, beloved, and take thy rest. Lay down thy head upon thy Savior's breast; We love thee dearly, but Jesus loves thee best; Good bye. good bye." A friend, LUCIE GRAY WOOLARD.
