THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, JANUARY 13, 1911 3 Revoltition in baking methods which gave the world Uneeda Biscuit also resulted in a Revel&tion in soda cracker quality. You realize this the moment you open the royal purple package and find soda crackers so tempt ing and good that they cannot be resisted. .j 'fcver sold in bulk) '■■h: Uneeda icult jii NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY “The Nigger.” A lynching—^not seen, but powerful ly suggested—a political campaign, and a race riot are among the strik ing Incidents of “The Nigger,” which comes to the Academy of Music tomor row matinee and night. Phillip Morrow, the central charac ter is a candidate for governor in a southern state. His campaign mana ger is Clifton Xoye^?, his cousin and president of a distilling company. Mor row is in love with G^rgiana Byrd, a young southern girl, and expects to marry her at the close of the cam paign. A negro employed by t-ue can didate has committed a crime, for which he is pursued by lynchera to Morrov^’s estate, where he has fled. Morrow already holds the offlce of sheriff, but to refuse to turn the negro over to the mob means his political niin. Morrow quickly decides that, rather than betray his office he must sacrafice his political ambition. Noyes saves him from the sacrifice by deliv ering tile culprit into the hands of the moo and he is lynched. After his election to the gubernator ial chair, Morrow is compelled to face another crisis. A prohibition bill has ]>een passed by the legislature, and Morrow feels that it is his duty for the benefit of the white and black ra ces to sign it. Noyes has discovered that Morrow’s g^randmother was a ne gro, and threatens to make the fact inown if the bill, which would mean the ruin of his distilleries is signed. Morrow is thunderstruck by the reve lation; he realizes what it means—the los3 of the prestige, the loss of the liolitical prefei’ment, and, m'ore than all, the loss of the woman he loves. But he signs the bill. Some of the mosL thrilling scenes oC the play grow out o£ his mouieritary rebellion against the decrees of race prejudice and convention, and his final accept ance of the inevitable. Wm. A. Brady, irnder whose direc tion ‘’The Xigger” is liresented. prom ises a superior scenic production for the play, which was one of the great est successes at tlie New Theatre, New York. o rtati 0 t'ouiliariiig the total value of the (‘olt'.m ovporied in nith that of .'.f^ars. the tifjir.es of the br.rcau cf siatitUics run as follows: Davidson learn Heie Monday Night Davidson College with her best basket ball team she has ever had, will be tne opponents of the Y. M. C. A. quintet for the second time this season Monday r.i.eft. Davidson played the local men Thanksgiving nighl: and gave a good account of themselves. AUiiough they were defeated they gave the local men the game of their life, thes ocre at one part of the game was 28 to 29. Davidson is coming with the same men that were here Thanksgiving night, and tliey are coming with the expectations of taking the game. While the local are confident they will win the game, they also know that they will have to play the best kind of ball to win. The men were in a rather crippled condition for the Washington and I^ee games, and if this would not have been the case they would have in all probability taken both games from the team from Virginia. The “criples'^ are in shape to play as;ain, so the local men will very likely present their strongest line-up for the game Mon day night. Saturday night in the local tour nament, what promises to be a good game, will be the one betv.-een the Cs and As. This will be the second game between these two teams, and if i^ v/ill be anj-thiug like the first ganie, it will be well worth the see ing. tjJ Cotton From IL S ; 1 T'l* li( 'U: J'ranro. mi ■lion: Italy, 28 1 .1 ■ - of ■'ll I’iri:- Spain, if, Tuiliio n; Canaclr;. 1 it r u .: ■ 1 ; i J ''i’l!i(r.^; :ind .1 npan . 9 1-2 mil- I ! 1 -i .1; ii^i n; fii.r.ri-'' l)i -'in;; bnr:r‘d nrr- "1 ■ rt-'v V .
