day .school, and railed it a delightful
performance, some of it better 1 h r:
the other, and naturally so.
The minstrel was first given at the
matinc»rs. Another performance follow
ed at 7:25 p. m.. and then another
hortlv after 10 o'clock.
, The net proceeds will be turned
into the fund for the church debt.
T. B. Rose, Jr., was interlocutor
while Dr. I. H. Hoyle was music di
ector. Miss Helen Kimball was pian
ist, and the performance was under
direction of Kenneth Isley and Hick
man Finch.
The first part was in the usual
minstrel form, with numerous jokes,
some cf them rather unbecoming to
a group of church people, but wnicn.
nevertheless, got laughs from the
audiences. Bigtime Smith, taken by
Mr. Isley, and Fishmouth Jones, by
Hickman Finch, were the end men.
Sunshine Jones, taken by’ Sam Ai
fbrd. was also a favorite, while C.
6. Seifert’s solo, in the role cf Ham
bone Lucas, and Dr. H. L. Allen, as
Applejack, in a dance number, were
veiy’ pleasing. A. J. Hurt as Sambo
Junk; A. E. Flynn as High Pocket
and J. W. Sanders as 801 l Weevil,
contributed jokes and merriment.
The Happy Hallow Quartette, com
posed of 11. L- Candler, Tobias Kear
ney, T. W. Worley and VV. B. Daniel,
Jr., gave a high quality of singing ci
the old-time melodies.
Miss Mary Worley, in a dance num
ber near the end o fthe first act,
drew an enthusiastic encore from the
audience and returned to repeat. Miss
Mary McElwce’s reading on the base
ball game, and Kenneth Islcy’s im
personation during the intermission
stood out as delightful spots in I In*
program, as did also the dun.cn by
Miss Mary Bunn,
Scene two presented a setting in
which the players were Mrs. D. D
Hocutt as Mainly; George Leggett n ;
Lightning; Raymond Wilson as
Snowball; and It. B. Powell as Rose
bud. Their costumes got the lauglrj
regardless of what I bey said, and
that helped, too. Miss Elsie Young
and Sam Alford, in a number ay
newlyweds, were mighty good with
their guitar and banjo. Mrs, A H
Moore’s dance number as Sister Sadie
proved unusually popular with th*
audience, and was greeted at the
close with, generous applause Miss
hit in her role of Madam Screenchiili
Fannie Smith’s song numhar was «
Hugh Jordan appeared as Lazy Bones
and Hugh Jones was fjy paltengill.
In addition to these characters
there was a chorus or 30 voices.
It. was understood today that a neat
sum. was netted from the perform

the church building fund.
HOW TO INCREASE
PAY OF TEACHERS
The Daily Dispatch has been fur
nished by Attorney General Dennis
G. Rrummitt with the following state
ment bearing on possible increases
in the pay of school teachers in North
Carolina.:
“I note in the press of today that
State Treasurer, Charles M. Johnson,
in an .address before th« Kiwanis
Club at Wilmington yesterday, says
that “'we must find away" to increase
teachers’ salaries.
“There is no difficulty in ‘finding’
such away. That way lies in remov
ing the tremendous advantages pros
perous foreign corporations nave n,
taxation over the great mass of our
domestic corporations; in the propei
taxation of excess profits which some
times reach 100 per cent or more on
capital stock or the assessed value of
corporate property; in building a tax
system free and clean of favor anc
privilege to the special interests.
“The way is easy to be found. Anc*
the great mass of our people most
of our manufacturers business and
professional men merchants, farmers,
laborers and domestic corporations
generally, as well as teachers, are di
rectly interested in ending these
abuses. The difficulty li‘ >w in break
ing the strangle-hold ol those who
do benefit from them.
