Mr. Editor:? /
Many of our good citizens seem
agitated by the (Mr that our alder
men will tonight permit another rail
rood track to be placed across Mala
etroet upon the application of one or
two men for prlrate uae. This matter
will come tip taonlght at the City Hall
at 8.30 o'clock.
I wish to ny that I supported i
present administration, and was one
of their friends In their fight for of
fice. and J predict confidentially that
win not grant this permission,
?y know, without being told,
know, without being told, that
old our streets *,1n trust" for
the public, and they are fully aware
of Chetact that they have no mere
light to appropriate them for private
purposes than they ninM hare to
elnd he city hall to some Individual or
corporation for storage-room.
They know that the people of
Washington, thoee who supported
them a swell aa thoee who oppoeed
then, do not and will not approve of
this proposition, and 1 am confident,
ae their frlen dand supporter, that
they will protect the property of the
f < mmMIc and grant no special privilege
of this kind.
During the campaign last year for
mayor and aldermen, certain men on
' theother side argued and predicted
that if ou rpresent officials should
win. they would do this very thing?
grant permission for another rail rodd
to cross Main street If the sppllcation
should be made.
I contended then that thoee whom
1 supported would safeguard the
rights and property of the people,,
and not permit ouf principal street
I * to be obstructed In any such way. I
am still satisfied that do Influence
will be great snough no wto Induce
them to do it.
A alrge number of the laboring
' men of tVpfttrwg the.
present sdmlnistartion. and our al
dermen know It. and they will not.
In my Judgment, let Mala street be
ruined In order that one or a few
men. or a private corporation, may
ears a fOw dollars which no# go In
to the pockets of these laboring men.
for the support of thslr families, and
which they would not get If the ap
I* plication Is granted. ??
?I again eay that 1 hare confidence
In the fact that these gentlemen com
posing our Board of Aldermen may
be. sailed on to look out for the In
terests of the whole people. '?

A WtfMcrfnl Change in Hfiitimrnt'
Situation tn Now Smmwluu
Wrlghtsvllle Beach. An*. 14.?The
sixth district harmony committee fin
ished its work In the way of examin
ing wltnee*eji ycttterday, and Jnflge
Avery left for his home last night.
Nothing definite will be known La
regard to the actlotf.qf the commit
tee until the report Is made o the
State executive committee, but the
general impression pervalled here to
day that the committee was experi
encing difficulty in deciding whether
the convention that nominated Clark
wu regularly organised. It !* bellev
td that the members of the commlt?-e
regard the acUoa of the conven.fn
after the chairman was elected regu
lar. but the 4tt*etlon la. did the del
egates pursue tike proper course In
organising?
The lmpreealon is gaining ground
that the committee will hold that
technicalities perrent Clark or God
win from being the regular nominee
1 andlhat either a primary will be call
ed or another convention iWom
mended. It is Rotated out that Urease
the committee takes the position that
no properly organised convention has
been held that H will leave t*e dele
gates already chosen in the different
counties In tup position of having had
no opportunity to express 'themselves
and that no course could be follow
ed other than to hold another conven
tion wi.tb the same delegates.
There has been a wonderful change
in public sentiment urlng the last few
days and this applies especially to
the friends of Congressman Godwin.
Formerly many^ of his most ardent
supporters have declared that they
would standi by him" at all hasard.
and that they would vote for him
regardless of what the executive com
mittee did. During the last few days
different ones have come out and
"stated positively that tbey would now
abide by the action of the commit
tee.
*ir. J. C- Clifford, the campaign
manager of Congressman Godwin,
told the committee he would abide
by their decision, and Mr. George b.
Bellamy did not hesitate to say he
would stand by the action of the com
mittee. This afternoon Congressman
Godwin changed front and went be
fore the committee and told them he
would abide by whatever they did.
lOnly yesterday afternoon he declared
most positively that he would not say
what he would do until after he had
learned what the committee recom
mended.
There If still talk of a primary and
there are many who are of the opin
ion that the committee will recom
mend that a primary be held. If this
course Is resorted to It will bring
about one of the most bitter factional
fights ever waged in eastern-Carolina.
Many of the wisest party leaders In
the district declare that a primary
would do ham,?almost as much as
both candidates remaining In the
field. The situation pi nee yesterday
has been cleared to the extent thalt If
the committee would take the posi
tion that Mr. Clark 1* nominee there
would be no other candidate In the
fleld, Mr. Godwin removing the doubt
that has existed by declaring he will
be governed by the committee.

THK V1CTROLA REPRESENTS
THE GREATEST MIS9CAI,
INSTRUMENT OF THK WORLD
With the multiplied surface area
of tt)e improved soundboard and mod
ifying doors, you can get just the
right volume of sound for the home.
Too much sound is worse than too
little; with the modifying doors you
can secure any desired volume, to suit
the parlor of any home, whether It
be a small or large one. The music
of the finest band may be spoiled if
heard in too small a hall.
The volume of sound produced by
the Vlctrola 1b perfect and free from
the loud, tlnpan. noisy and ear-pierc
ing effect, characteristic of some talk
ing machines that ane sold on the ar
gument that they are loud. If we
are to accomplish the most in a musi
cal education we must look for the
best educators, a child's musical tal
ent may be spoiled for Mfe by hearing
an imperfect machine or not having
the best Instructors. Here is what
some of the world's greatest singers
say about.the Victor: "The reproduc-1
tions of the selections I sang for you
are wondertaTly lifelike,?they re
produce the natural quality of the:
human voice.' ?Mareelia Semhrich.
"December 19th, 1909.
"Every true artist constantly en
deavors to improve tone production.
The quality of my voice In my new1
Victor records is so perfectly repro
duced that when I study I use them
as a standard for comparison.
"JOHANNA OAD6KI."
"December 29th, 1909.
"I h?ve learned more from a care
ful study of the improyed Victor rec
ords than from any vocal Instructor.
To the student I cannot recommend
them too highly.
"EMILO DB OOOORZA.
- The artlsts^who play and sing for
the Victor are the best in the world.
Think of the pleasure of having a Vlc
trola and enjoying the maslc of the
famous artists at their best. When
you buy the Vlctrola then you will
appreciate what it Is to have in your
home an Instrument that you can
regulate to .give the proper volume
your home. An instrument that every
member of the family will enjoy and
take a pride In.

timely forethought of the engineer,
D. W. Turrentlnc. a moat serious rail
road wreck would hare occurred on
the Atlantic Coast Line at this place
8?nday evening.
On account of the recent heavy
rains the track at the Fourth street
crossing had been washed to such
as esrtent that the regular passenger
train engine was ditched and several
cars set on fire. The train was run
ning between 16 and 20 miles an
hour when the accident happened. No
one was hurt. The engineer stuck to
his post and went with his engine.
It was miraculous that he was not
hurt. The passengers were considera
bly excited. The engine turned turtle
completely, but was not injured. The
car* catching on flree occasioned some
excitement. All the debris has been
removed and all trains made their
regular schedules this morning.
The engineer has been much com
plimented for lbs bravery.

PI'BVJC SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.
Those students who failed on one.
Swo. or three examinations in May
will be given an opportunity to pass
these examinations before school la
opened in September. If there are
any, who failed on more than three
subjects who desire to tak the exam
inations they will be allowed to do ee.
No examinations will be given after
school opens except for satlsfactory
reasons. It Is unfair to teh great ma
jority of students who have done
their work, that so much school time
should be taken up with these delin
quents. hence the reason for giving
the examinations before the opening
ef seheel.
If students who failed on examina
tion In May and others who have
for any reason to take the examina
tions. will call at the public school
office on Thursday. August 18. .be
tween the hours of 10 and IS o'clock.
shall be glad to furnish them with
books with which to prepare them
selves for the teats. Pleas eremember
the date. Thursday of this week.
I am confident that a large number
of the students who failed can pass
the examlnatlona If they will do a
little faithful study between now and
the Friday before school opens. For
this reason ws are offering them this
opportunity to prepare themeslrea
for promotion with their grades In
September. Parents are requested to
??that their children avail them
selvs of this opportunity. The chil
dren may have the use of the books
for the month free of charge.
These who failed In music can eas

An Enjoyable Affair Given at Elks'
Home IMt Night.
The order of Elks gave a smoker
at their home In the Baugham build
ing last night In honor of the recent
Initiates and several visitors. There
were between 80 and 90 present. Mr.
Joseph F. Tayloe did the honors as
toastmaster and performed his task
most admirably. Toasts were respond
ed to by Messrs. Richard 8. Neal. W.
L. Vaughan and Dr. D. T. Tayloe. Mr.
Leac$, of Pittsburg, a cousin of Capt.
Geo. T. Leach, also responded most
happily. The luncheon was served In
courses and was a feast indeed fit
for a king. The smoker began at 10
promptly. At 11 o'clock the silent
toast to the absent brothers was
given. This was very impressive and
solemn. The occasion proved to be
one of enjoyment and pleasure all
the-way through.
The order of Elks in Washington
has one of the most flourishing chap
ters in North Carolina. It is fast gain
ing ground both in numbers and In
fluence. The pleasures of the evening
were considerably added to last night
by several selections tfeing given by
a male quartet consisting of Messrs.
B. W. Taylor, Lyndon Shaw, John

*.000 FEET FILMS AT THE
GAIETY TONIGHT. 8 KEELS
One of the best motion pictures ever
presented In Washington will be ?een
at the Gaiety tonight. The Paleface
Princess is a Western drama. This
film has many excellent points. The
wide sweep of mountain scenery and
the sense of largeness that It gives
you are things which cannot be sim
ulated. It has a plot of exceptional
heart-Interest, with thrilling rides,
lively action and a highly dramatic
climax. When Old New York Was
Toung Is a tale of New Amsterdam
by the famous Vltagraph Company of
America. This Is another Vltagraph
film d'art, producing "a story In the
realm of nature's own settings.
The Centenarian is a good laugh
producer. A humorous study of peo
ple In their thoughtless attitude to
any who have gTown large In the pub
lic eye. The Hasher's Delirium, or I^et
It Alone is a mystery comedy. A se
ries of cartoons showing the effect of
different fancy liquors upon the mind.
This film introduces some particular
ly good comedy with trick pictures.
Another Vltagraph masterpiece

HEAVY RAINS,

For the past two days Washington
has been visited with unusual rain
fall. In consequence of this the low

been flooded, causing much Inconven

Sunday evening had to resort to wad
