In this mornings News and Obser ver we find a pretty little romance about a wealthy Chatham county farm er and his novel courtship with -a pretty New Yorker. The farmer is James Gilliam, a handsome fellow about 45, jwho owns and operates a model farm near Pitts boro. Some months ago he adver tised as follows: "GENTLEMAN, forty, of good fam ily character, reputation, appearance, fond of home and its moral influence, man of means, desires to correspond with a lady about 25, medium size, good looking, refined and honorable: view; matrimony," . In reply . to this several answers came some well-written, some searely legible; some couched in well-turned phrases, some ungrammatical and badly spelled. Of them all, that writ ten by Miss Downs, of New York, most satisfied Jim Gilliam's ideal, and pleased his fancy. He answered the letter at once. Then another came and another, and another; and finally there was one with a photograph in it. Thus matters progressed until yes terday Miss Downs arrived at Mon- cure and was met by Mr. Gilliam and together they drove out to the farm to look things over. The prospective groom had paid Miss Downs' expenses from New York and in the event they don't like each other he is to pay her expenses back home. Now there were reasons nice, con ventional reasons why Mr. Gilliam should go slowly in this matter of joining their destinies for life. Young er heads and warmer hearts would have acted differently, of course. They would have said: "I love, you, and you love me how can anything else matter?" And there would have been a mar riage on the spot. But in this case the man is 45 and the woman 25. The man has two married children and four others at home, their future must be consulted The woman had been reared in a city and perhaps she might not like the country and the farm life. Then, again, they had both fallen in love with pictures, shadows, and they might not like the substance so well. "Better settle these things before hand," wrote the woman two weeks ago. "Better see one another now, go over the whole situation and then decide. After that there can be no heart-burnings, no recrimination, no charges of having been deceived." As, in case of marriage, they must live in North Carolina, on Mr. Gil liam's farm, he suggested that Miss Downs come down, look it and its owner over, and then decide whether or not she j would take them for better or worse, for life or death. A telegram from Moncure yesterday afternoon said it was learned from Pittsboro that the matter "would be set tled last night, and the marriage would take place then or never. Mr. Gilliam is quite a good-looking man, tall and muscular, with just a little gray, in his hair. Though a farmer, he dresses well, and is a man of considerable education. Miss Downs is quite good-rlooking, weighs 120 pounds, and speaks with a charm ing Yankee accent. The Burglar." Gus Thomas' clever play, "The Burglar," which held the boards at the Madison Square Theatre, New York, and made a most emphatic hit, has been secured. The play is one of absorbing interest, and the opening scene is laid in the home of opulence, showing the daily intercourse between the united members of a refined family and only marred by the young, hus band's too frequent absence. Into this peaceful existence a thunder-clap falls, in the shape of the discovery that the husband's mysterious disap pearance has developed into the know ledge by some of the household mem bers of a dual life on his part. He is at one and the same time a reputable member of society and a famous bur glar. To avoid discovery and the shame coming to his wife's knowledge, he is permitted to escape, and eventu ally comes the news of his death. The wife and mother, under this belief, marries again when it is discovered too late, the news was false, and that the burglar still lives and is intent upon a series of house-breaking crimes. At one of these times he unconsciously enters the home of his former wife. A series of dramatic episodes swaying the emotions in their various phases, culminate in his recognition and pa thetic parting after manifold explana tions. The play is excellently mounted and performed by a fine company un der the management of A. Q. Scammon with Horace Mitchell as William Lewis, "The Burglar." . J. W. Prather, a prominent cloth ing merchant of Mt. Airy is registered at the Benbow. - A HAND-TO HAND STRUGGLE Sitting Began at Seven-Thirty ' Last Night. FIERCE DISORDER PREVAILED.
