Good Play By New Be mi an s Some Clcrcr Acting Displayed By Young People From Neighbor ing City Last Night. ) % "The Misunderstanding." pre sented by the Tbespis Club of New Bern last night at the New theatre, was most favorably received and many expressions of' praise were heard over the excellent acting of the characters. The play was un doubtedly a surprise to many In the audience, who expected to see the usual style of ' performance . that Is put on by amateurs. There was nothing "amateurish" about last night's performance, however. All of the characters possessed real tal ent and before the play had pro ceeded very far practically every one lost' sight of the fact that It wbr not staged by a professional com pany pnd all became intensely ab so r bed in the plot at it unfolded It self. The play Itself was extremely In teresting and contained several good dramatic sUeetioae. There wexa tears in more than a few eyes In the audienoe toward the close. ' It' would be hard to single out any of the characters who deserve special commendation for their act ing. From the leads, played by Miss Kathryn 'Schuster and J. Henri! Bourdelals, to the cnte little French maid. Miss Ellen Ouion, they werej a'.l good. The acting of Mrs. George' Stratton, as "Edith," was also ex-' ceptionally clever. Miss Bourdelais.j in the part of Mrs. Dick Chetwyn, brought in some diverting comedy1 and played her part well. Miss Hazel Taylor, Mr. Farrow, Mr.fc McSorlwy and Mr. Morris also disjuhyed con siderable talent and carried through their parts well. "MS-MAC" CONTAINS NO HARM FUL SUBSTANCES. 6-1-lwc. ?

Johnson Gives Details of Platform Candidate for Office of Representative from Beaufort County Explains Certain Measures He Will Work For Panotego, N. C., May 3. 1916. Editor Washington Daily News, Washington, N. C. Dear sir: In your issue of May 2nd there appears an announcement of the candidacy of Mr. W. M. Butt of Bon nerton, N. C., for the Democratic nomination for Representative ior Beaufort county, to which place 1 have aspired, and since he has es sayed to state his position may 1 crave permission to acquaint the public with my views through the medium of your valuable paper. In the rirst place i desire to con* cede the fact that Mr. Butt is a con .stent democrat and a gentleman of high standing. 1 am pleased to v-uunt hi ui as a personal friend, and since our contest is to be one of iBsues and environment 1 trust that nothing may transpire which would (end to mar that relationship I stand for a government by the people in the regular democratic way and I am opposed U> any en croachment upon this time-honored custom. I therefore pledge that if nominated and elected I will pass no legislation whether county wide or local in its scqpe without giving due notice to those concerned through the public press or in such other manner as may appear advis able. In my recent announcement I stated that "if nominated, and elect ed, I would do my best to merit the confidence thus reposed in me," and I would consider any man unworthy oi trust who purporting tQ represent Beaufort county would seek to en cumber it with a stock law after its citizens had so recently registered their disapproval by such an over whelming majority. In the event of my election I do not hesitate to pledge that not only would I refrain from introducing a "stock law" but I would feel it my | duty to oppose It should it arise ' from some other source. A convention of representative democrats was recently held In the city of Washington and in the sb , sence of ,-any expression from th*m I would not feel free to tako part in anj legislation which wouldNtaange onr present form of county govern ment If the Board of Education for Beaufort county is to be elected by the people, I believe that this matter should first be settled In a regular convention. , | For some time past the various i townships and . certain sectional parts thereof have been engaged In j the creation of a system of road work which seemed best an 1 ted to tfeetr local needs and I will not In terfere with any road law now In force unless it shall appear Mat the majority of thoife who are Interested deelre changes which their exper ience has proven advisable. la U7? Mr. Decaatr Jarvle of Pantego township was a member of tfe? Lower House from Beaufort eeontg and firing the er suing 40 -'Mi to retttest el Paatege t*wa ship has graced that body with his presence. frltbin the last few years more capita] has been invested, more de velopment work has been inaugurat ed and concluded, and a greater relative increase in physical valua tion of property has been enjoyed by Eantego . jQWAftfelp ,than cap be boas'.ed by all the balance of Beau fort county. With these conditions new prob lems have arisen. Speaking partic ularly of our drainage work certain deficiencies in our law renders It almost impossible for the sheriff to equitably collect the drainage tax without annually subjecting each district to worry and expense. I believe that by virtue of my In timate connection with this work I; ?ould render this community, and through it the county at large a lasting service, and while I am not unmindful of the honor and prestige which are the heritage of a Repre sentative from Beaufort county my lesire to straighten out our present drainage tangle was perhaps the prime reason for my announcement. 1 submit that after 43 years of waiting Faatego township is entitled to a representative and I have too much confidence In the fair-minded ness of my fellow democrats to be lieve that seeing our need they will now deny us. I earnestly solicit the support of all good democrats and I can only reiterate my former statement that '"if nominated and elected I will do my best to merit the confidence thus reposed In me." Hespoctfully. P. U. JOHNSON. (Advertisement) I (By United Press) Washington, Mar 4. ? Sir Cecil I Spring fe'.ce, British ambassador.

Berlin, May 4. ? In splt.9 of the unquestionably strong undercurrent of peace talS here, officials resent the Indication, carried In a recent Washington dispatch, that Chancel lor Von Bethmann Hol'weg had'ask e<i Ambassador Gerard to cancel his vacation plans and return to Amer ica to tranamlt peace offers from Germany. There la a general feeling that the war ought to end by fall. Some be lieve that hostilities will end by November. The Impression prevails that all belligerents are anxious to avoid another winter campaign. Some knowledge of this feellpg has reached Washington, inspiring the latest peace story. Germany, It 1b now learned, has protested to the State department against some leak that caused the story's circulation. E NOT YET m FDR PERCE, OEMS PAGE (By United Press) Washington, May 4. ?
