Her first ap puarance before the glare of the foot lights was made when she was only seven years of age; it was with Mrs. Scott Siddons at the Euclid Avenue Opera House in Cleveland, Ohio, Miss Van Tassell's native city. She after wards accompanied Mrs. Siddons on a tour of this country, and won golden opinions for her wonderful dramatic readings. At the age of twelve she was at the head of her own company, and to-day she is certainly the young est star among the brilliant lights in the theatrical firmament. Miss Van Tassell has made nine complete tours of the United States and Canada, and during the dast three years has played only the leading theatres in the large cities, and has been received every where with unbounded enthusiasm by by both the press and the public. Last season she made a brief tour in En gland, where she was so favorably re ceived that her manager has completed negotiations for an extended engage- ment there at the close of this season. Mr. Frank W.

The New England Cotton manufactu rersleft Greensboro 4:15 Saturday, ar rived in Salisbury 5:30, left Salisbury 8:55,spent Sunday until 2:05 in Asheville and arrived in Spartanbursr Sundav night, spending today their and at Union S. C, expecting to reach Co lumbia tonight. They were met at Salisbury by com mitteeMayor T. C. Linn and five or six mill men. ' It was too late to go through the mills, but a party went down the rail road about three-quarters of a mile in Supt. O'Briens private car and viewed the Salisbury cotton mill and its fa- favorable location. The women in the party and a few of the men, were driven to the National cemetery and about town until; it was too dark to see more. At 7 o'clock the party took supper at. the Mt. Vernon Hotel. They were much pleased with Grens- boro, its schools, its mill buildings, its business houses, its residences, the Benbow, and above all with the club rooms and the hospitality of the citi zens and the courtesies shown them. The only adverse criticism was rela tive to the "roads", not only here but all they had seen in the south. They noted particularly the desirable location of Greensboro as a good rail road center. 'The cheapness of fuel for many purposes and especially the oconomy of mill construction, the cost of brick for building, the cost of oper atives, houses, houses of equal size with the ones at Proximity costing from three to five times what they cost here. The colder weather demandinsr a better built house in New England. They had already studied the differ ence in the labor cost and appreciated that, but many had not realized the great difference in the first cost of the mill. The "three cheers and atiger," pro posed by Mr.f Eaton, the president of the association, for the town of Greens boro, the Industrial Associations and the hospitable people as evidenced by the entertainment we have received at the hands of their committee, was re sponded to heartily by the entire par ty as they entered the train at 4.15 Saturday, demonstrated that the com mittee was wise in exerting itself to show Greensboro to the party. Some of the ladies said, "we shall never forget Greensboro, for we shall always remember the genial Judge who helped entertain us. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte said, "The way these Merchants and Manu facturers Associations are opening up is surprising. We thought at Char lotte that we had the best in the State but here at Greensboro we find one which will push us to secure1 a build ing of our own if we are to be ahead. The rooms of the Association are beautiful and so conveniently ar ranged." MRS. SALLIE S. COTTON COfllNG. To Give A Reading atthe G. F. College Friday Night, Nov. 5th.

Tug Three Friends Left Jacksonville Last Night. By Wire to The Telex; ham. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov., 1. The tug Three Friends left here last night amid the booming of cannon and other salutes, towing the schooner Portly with cattle bound for Havana. There is an interesting rumor ihat the Three Friends was selected by the Cuban Junta on account of her past record as a filibusterer. It is hoped that when she appears in Havana harbor the resentment of the Spaniards will take the form of seiz ure, as there is a United States Depu ty Marshal aboard.

FOOTBALL SATURDAY. A Georgia Player Laid up With Con cussion of the Brain. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 30 The Georgia- Virginia football game this afternoon resulted in a victory for the .Virginians by a score 17 to 4. The Virginia team was too heavy for the Georgia boys and outclassed them at every point. Virginia resorted al most entirely to bucking the center, and pounded Georgia's two tackles terribly. The feature of the game was a goal from the field kicked by Morrison, the Virginia captain. Georgia's touchdown was made on a fluke and at no time were they able to gain ground against their oppo nents and retain ball. They had to re sort to kicking to keep from losing the ball on downs. Gammon, of the Georgia team, was seriously injured in one of the scrim mages and the doctors say he has con cussion of the brain. His recovery is doubtful. Carolina Defeated.
