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.

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.

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. Mr. W. R.

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 ily make up their deficiency In that subject by'making some arrangement With Miss iLlllan Banner for private [lessons.
