A Story of Wit and Fathog.True to the
Tlniel and Intensely Interesting.
It is a beautiful story written
bv "Christian Keid," Mrs. Tier-
nan, daughter of Col. Charles
Fisher, who fell m the great Dai-
tie of Manassas.
The curtain rises and two girls
amid lovely floral surroundings
talk of the soldiers lor wnom
thev are knittinc socks. "They
must work for the men," a hit
that brines down the house.
George Stone enters and is
scorned for not going to the
war. He withdraws. Mrs. War
rington, lady of the house, enters
anderlartlv tells Miss warring
ton and Miss Conyers that the
Confederates will encamp near
and Gen. Doring will make head
quarters with them.
They come, but are in an un
tenable position from which they
mav have to withdraw quickly
and wish to take these ladies
along. They decline to leave
thoir beautiful home with the
hope of saving it from ashes.
There aro attachments formed
among the young ladies and the
soldiers and Miss Warrington
and her gallant lover have a
fierce lovers' quarrel.
Gon. Doring and Major Har
rington consult and concoct a
bogus order that they wish to
fall into the hands of the enemy
that thoy may strike them au un
expocted blow. Courier an
nounces rapid advance of enemy
and soldiers mount to resist
them. Bogus order is left or
lost in a uovel on the table.
Stone has been near enough to
hear something about the order
and comes in and takes up the
book. Miss Warrington enters
and demands the book which he
finally yields after removing a
paper which proves to be worth
less and she finds the bogus or
der within it.
Partly thinking it may be of
arreat importance but more with
the hope of seeing her lover and
retting, pardon and reconcilia
tion, she takes Ned the trusty
negro and sots out for the Con
federate camp on horseback, but
is captured by the "Yankees."
The horses are taken and Ned
is given freedom, which he pro
tends to hail with pleasure. The
lady is held a prisoner. Stone
plays spy and she is suspected
of bearing an important paper.
The Yankee officer demands it
and fina'ly forces a search and
gets it, but she raps him a vig
orous blow with her riding whip
when he approaches. The Yan
kees act on the bogus order and
walk into the trap set for them.
The lady is in deep grief that
her action may bring the first
defeat to tho Confederates, for
she does not know that the order
is bogus.
Ned instead of leaving slips
into the prison by a back win
dow and greets his "missis,' who
tells him to go and tell the home
people what has happened.
Miss ( onyers and Ned set out
to walk to the Confederate camp
(the horses are all taken away)
and she is footsore and ready to
die but reaches them. To the
great delight of Gen. Dering he
learns that his bogus order has
gone just as he intended it
should.
The Warrington home is now
in the enemy's hands and Stone
causes Miss Warrington to be
brought here where she and her
mother are prisoners at his
complete control as a reward for
his treachery and he uses his
power to coerce her to bo his
wife and threatens that the house
will be burned and they carried
to a Northern prison if she re
fuses. Defiance meets his threat.
Orders come to pack up. The
faithful woman servant gives
the Yankees of her master's fine
liquors as directed by Mrs. War
rington, and they are jolly. Miss
Warrington makes all the delay
possible in starting.
In the meantime Miss Conyers
having told Gen. Dering of all
that had transpired with Miss
Warrington and the order,
buckles on a pistol and with her
already torn dress mounts on
cavalry saddle, tickled that she
may go into battle with tho sol
diers. A brilliant victory is
trained and then a dash for the
Warrington home is made and
in the very nick of time while
Miss Warrington is upbraided
for her tardy preparation a por
feet fusilado of shots ring out
near and tho Confederates have
tho situation. Stone is caught
by Mrs. Warrington and held
till Miss Warrington's lover
comes in and attempts to arrest
him. A fight occurs and the

scldier falls wounded. Stone
would have escapod but Miss
Conyers appears and with that
pistol she had bucuiea on pre
sented at his head, bids him
standstill. "Mam," the woman
servant, also flourishes a pistol
at him. Stone is brought before
Gon. Doring and his guilt estab
lished. He appeals to Mrs.
Warrington for intercession.
"Your insults to me and my
daughter," said she, "could bo
forgiven, but not your treachery
to the Southern cause."
He was ordered sent to Rich
mond for regular court trial.
Gen. Doring wishes to com
mission these young lady hero
ines but knows the commissions
could not be gotten on the score
of sex, but gives each the com
mand of favorite staff officers of
his. When suggested that they
would wait to take the command
when the war was ended, they
protested that there need be no
delay and that thoy were ready
now. Wedding bells tingled so
to speak.
The play ends with a chivalric
song and our chief heroine comes
far out on the etage holding the
Confederate battle flag and vows
perpotual devotion by South
ern women to honors for the
living and tender care for the
graves of tho Confederate dead.
The story is interwoven with
wit and intonse pathos, with
strongly drawn characters and
in a strain so true to the times
and sentiments of those days
that one who passed through
them is oblivious of the present.
It is truly the manifestation of
rare genius and though played
by amateurs is rendered ia mas
terly style, and in view of its
theme yet so endearing it stands
at the very head of meritorious
stage performances of the day
It deserves perpetual existence
and repeated rendering.
A Public Library.
Mb. Editor: I want you to
permit me to say that tho people
of Concord must have a public
library, that plans are on foot to
secure a charter and that a nu
clens has already been made for
a beginning, which promises to
be just what we want and need.
The circulating library may
possibly fill a temporary demand,
but the idea of a permanency is
not to be thought of when such
an organization is only theoreti
cal and has no local existence in
fact nor has it any ownership.
In the former you make your
own selections, own your own
looks and soon posses a local
pride and a sympath9tic constit
uency in the latter plan a
foreign selection is made for
you, the ownership is in foreign
ers, besides many other disad
vantages. The purpose of this article is
merely to assure a good people
of a good town that within thirty
days developments will bo suf
ficiently made to guarantee to
the town a public library.

Ohio's Ex-Attorney Geueral Breaks
Away and Scores McKIuley.
Mr. Monnett, former attorney
genoral of Ohio, in a speech at
Columbus, O., Friday night
came out squarely for Mr. Bryan
on the issue of trusts. Ho scores
tho Presidont for not ouforcing
tho Sherman anti-trust law. At
tho close of his speech ho said:
"I beliove that Mr. McKiuley
and John Griggs, his attorney
general, and his executive of
ficers have wilfully and pur
posoly and knowingly paralyzed
the executive arm of this govern
ment for the last four years and
prevented the enforcement of
the common law and tho statute
law, both criminally and civilly
against the law violators. And
the hour has now come, the only
time we will have for the next
four years as voters, to legally
and constitutionally smite them
for their hypocrisy and to pre
vent this violation of official
duty.
"William J Bryan may not ac
complish ail we expect, or all
we hope for in this behalf. But
I believe him to bo a thoroughly
honost, sincere aud a determined
man, and while I do not agree
with him in all he advocates, yet
Iamfoieod to take one side or
the other on this great question
which for the masses is the par
amount issue and in the name o
patriotism and for the sake of
our republic, I propo.-.e to ast
my vote for tl at fearless, up

Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 12, 1900.
Mr. Editor: When I announced
rny candidacy for a seat in the
United States Senate I thought
it likely that a majority jf the
Democratic voters might desire
me to be their candidate to repre
sent tho people of North Caro
lina in that great body. I have
since learned that many friends
throughout the State who might ,
under other circumstances, have
supported me, have committed
themselves to other gentlemen.
It is now apparent to me that
a large number of the Demo
cratic voters are looking else
where for their candidate. I
have no disposition to question
tho wisdom of their course or to
contend against it.
Under existing conditions it
would not be reasonable iu me to
ask further support from friends
to whom I am already so largely
indebted for their past kind ser
vices. I therefore beg to use
your columns o announce to the
public that I am lio louger a can
didate. This leaves me absolute
ly free to work for party success
in November.
In thus eliminating jny per
sonal interest I want it. distinctly
understood that I do not abate
one jot vv title of my deep inter
est in the success of tho Demo
cratic party. The Democracy of
North Carolina ought to give
Bryan and Stevenson a rousing
majority and elect a solid Demo
cratic delegation to the House of
Representatives. It can be done
if every Democrat will do his
duty. 1 shall go forward to do
mine, aud I appeal to every Dem
ocrat to be at his post of duty
until the closing of the polls.
The election of a Democratic
Senator is already assured. Now
let us send nine Democrats to the
House to co-operate with him.

The Winston Sentinel tells of
an old man at Judge Bay's Fed

becae.e enratTed at District At
torney lloltou for the conviction
of his son for distilling and arm
ing himsolf with a big pistol
went into the court house in
inquiring for IJolton whom ho
intended to kill. He was pre
vented from the rash deed by
those near him.
J. T. II. Hoover dominated.
From dispatches we see that J
TB Hoover, of Oxford, N. C,
has been nominated in the 5th
District for Congress. The
prints say it is probablo that

know soon whom he's to beat.
