Deer 8lr: This la a plea for a
warmer, more comfortable auditor
ium for the fourth number of the
L>yoleum Course on Monday night.
For throe in succession la .fact the
tiall has been so cold and uncomfort
able at all of the previous entertain
ments this year that the women and'
In many Instances the men hare had
to keep themaelves wrapped up. At
th^Scotch Singers one could see
ma'a breath.
Half of the success of any even
ing audience Is the attractive . gowns
of a fashionable lot of ladies. but
there Is nothing pretty In ugly dark
coats and wraps. '
It Is a poor advertisement to. have
a cold uncomfortable hall and wheth
or you know It or not. has cost yo?
mom tickets and will certainly ef
fect future subscriptions.
I am yours very truly.

News wns received in this city to
day announcing the death of one 01
Beaufort county's most influential
citizens in the person of Mr. Jess*
R. Calloway who passed away at his
home at Royall this morning between
3 and4 4 o'clock of heart failure. At
the time of his death the deceased
was in Lis 68th year. He enjoyed
the friendship of a large number
At one time he represented the
cpunty of Beaufort In the general
assembly and proved to be a repre
sentative of ability. He was the fa
ther of Mr. J. H. Calloway, Mrs. W.
W, Sattferthwaite and Mrs. Sallie
Mayo of thla tills, city. The funeral
frill take place sometime tomorrow.
The entire community mourns his
loss and th- sympathy of the entire
county goes out to the bereaved.
I think a word to this effect would
not hurt In the paper.
"\ knew the auditorium was most
uncomfortably cold on the evening
of Deoember 12 when George Kier
nan waa her4. This was partly due
to an error on my own part In fall
ing to give the Janitor sufficient no
tice, but I do not remember to' have
heard complaint about the heat at
any of the regular Lycetup numuer*.
If any one has sufferotr discomfort
I do not remember that th^y iiave
come to me and suggested that im
provements be made.
Po'r Monday night I desire to prom
Ise that if the heating apparatus is
sufficient the auditorium SHALL be
comfortably heated. 1 am frank to
thank my Informer fpr the Informa
tion which she -has given and to say
that I did not^now any person . had
declined fb purchase tickets for the
reason stated. I hope no one will
stay away hereafter for that rea
son.
I regret that my friend did not in
form' me earlier in person or%by
phone Instead of addressing me an
annonymous letter.
I -wish to say further that the Jani
tor was given Instructions yesterday,
Friday, to see that the auditorium
is comfortable Monday night, and I
am sure he will look after It prop
erly.
Yours very truly,

.Washington, Jan. 7. ? Capt. Robt.
T. Peary told the story ot t he trip
to the frosen north ?t a hearing to
day before the house commit tee on
nasal affairs, the purpose being to
fnrnlsh proof of his attainment of
the North Pole on April ?, 1909. la
connection with pending legislation
for natlonsl recognition of big ac
hievements. He produced all of his
original memorandum and answered
numerous questions.
Cross-examination by Representa
tive Macon of Arkansas, who baa an
nounced his unalterable opposition
to recognition of % the explorer, was
deferred on account of the time ta
ken la reading data. Tim commit
tee adjourned until neat Tuesday.
Mr. Maoon asked eapsdal light on
"the SO hours Peary was 'at ad
pole." and Mr. Peary read from his
log book detailing his four hours'
sleep. hit journey beyond and hack
to the camp. Peary said he made .
no entries on this book on his re
turn march April1 8, and not until
the afternoon of the 9th.
Representative. Roberta, of Massa
chusetts. suggested to the explorer
-that Henry Gannett, president of the
National Geographic society, and he
thought O. H. Tltman. of the oOast
geodlc survey, both of whom were
i members of the geograpic society
committee tpat it Is pod?lbte/for a
person with sufficient knowledge and^.
with data at hand to make any ob-. f
serrations, to place jUmscftf
? plare on eartn and the figures them
i sfefves would not carry any proof
. on their face."
"That," replied Peary. "Is the
j. opinion of an expert."
Just at the close of the heating
Mr. Roberts bunded the ^xplorair a
copy of a pamphlet on how Peary
. discovered the pole, printed in Wash
ington. and headed "By Robert B.
I Peary," and asked Peary If he had
ever aeen it before. Peary if he had
, written It. The significance of this
was that when the naval committee j
wanted Peary to appear last spring
he declined bocause of publishers'
rights nnd that this pamphlet th*
date of whose publication he could
not recall. Is claimed to have appear
