Agents for Gentry Brother Tells of Troubles Getting Foreign Performers to America. Few persons who visit the great tented shows, which are distinctly American institutions, realize the work attendant upon organization. An insight to these obtained when one familar with them goes into the details of the work necessary in getting such shows under way, A day or so ago an agent for Gentry Brothers Famous Shows, which will visit this city next Friday Sept. 17, took into confidence a man en lightment, "No one realizes," said the agent, "what difficulties beset the managers of shows when booking acts which are a part of the show. To give one an idea of that I merely have to tell you a few of thp detail dependent upon the work." "Last winter when our organ izer went abroad he traveled for weeks incognito. He visited the circus buildings and the theatres, carefully scanning many features to select those that would please American audiences. Finally he decided upon the acts wanted and then his real work began." "He sought persons he wanted to bring to this country. They were skeptical, and were afraid to trust themselves away from home and friends. Consequently, a resourceful American had to oyercome these prejudices. Of fers of salaries, far in excess of those paid in Europe, constituted the first attraction. Then witt the aid of United States consuls, the foreigners were assured of the integrity of American in stitutions. After many weeks of negotiations contrasts were closed by agents of Gentry Brothers Shows." "The greatest trouble with foreign performers," concluded the agent, "is teaching them American customs. However, when they realize the liberties of this country they become American." The showman grabbed his suit cases and was gone.

That alone makes him a mighty smart man. Smarter than Teddy, even, and that makes him an awful smart man, But Bryan is smartest, He says keep off of British ships. Cotton farmers are the only farmers that have cause to com plain at low prices. Those who raise horses, corn, wheat, meats, etc., have no right to complain. But how about we fellows who have to live out of, and on paper pokes? Especially the wage earn ers who are out of a job? Weil, that's one way to "reduce the cost of living." It will come down as the people get too poor to buy. Supply and demand gov ern prices, ycu know. Ihey say there is more money in this country than ever before. They say the banks are full and running over. That shows that the money is not out among the folks. money to do busi ness, it must be kept in circula tion. It's the money out into circulation that helps the banks, even, If the money was all put t) work, no one could tell that the war was still on—unless he saw it in the daily papers. And he could not tell who was presi dent only by the office holders. The papers condemn that Geor gia mob. The same thing would occur here under similar condi tions. It has been equally as bad. Human nature is the same everywhere. But none give a remedy against such mobs. Courts some times make mis takes. For this reason, the right of petition is right and ought to be considered. The only way to stop mob violence is first to try every case according to evidence and law. In the second place, the officers and the courts ought to catch and punish every man who joins such a mob. But it is clear that the officers and courts don't try to find out those who compose the mobs. Well, the graded schools are running—children run to and from them, at least. The school in the new building opened witn out visitors or ceremony But it proposes to run the other a clean race and carry off the prize on department and thoroughness. We boast of our educational ad vantages. Ask people for more taxes for free schools and they take a goose fit. Let's give a few facts: This is a day of commer cialism. The people in America spent $600,000,000 for automo biles in 1914 —more than was snent on all the public education al institutions of the country. We are putting other things ahead of the child in the scheme of iife. We are deifving the dollar and trampling upon the human soul. We spent last year only 44 cents per capita for the education of our children and they did not get over three-fourths of that. That is why schools are no better. The average salary of rural teachers *is less than S3O a month. (Jot to have four and six months school if it does require hiring cheap teachers. We thus make the children pay for our much boast ing. Every Home Needs a Faithful Cough and Cold Remedy. When seasons change and colds ap pear—when you first detect a cold al ter sitting next to a person who has sneezed, then it is that a tried and tested remedy should be faithfully used. "I never wrote a testimonial before, bnt, I know positively that for myself and family, Dr. King's New Discovery is ihe best couch remedy we ever used and we have tried them all." 50c. and SI.OO Executot's Notice Having qualified as executor under the will of M.

Already the American Red Cross and the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber culosis have 125,000,000 seals for shipment, and the points to which they will go include every state in the Union and in ad dition, Hawaii, Porto Rico, Alaska and the Canal Zone. It is, furthermore, the purpose of those in charge of this work to have the seals, of which every one sold is a bullet in the fight against tuberculosis, reach the merchants and the various agents long before they lay in a supply of the ususl meaning less kind of Christmas seals and stickers. While there is no com mission on the sale of the Red Cross seal, no merchant could re fuse this opportunity of help ing his community and hi 3 State fight the dreaded plague of tu berculosis. A campaign for the largest sale of Red Cross Christmas seals that North Carolina has ever known is now in progress. By means of the sale ot seals this year, it is hoped that tuberculosis will receive the greatest blow it ha 3 ever known direct from the hands of the people.

AMBASSADOR JUSSERAND ' EXPRESSES APPRECIATION Speaks in Behalf of His Coun try for American Hospitals in France. Jean J. Jusserand, the French am- Dassador to the United States, ex pressed the appreciation of his coun ' try for the work done by Americans | in establishing and maintaining hos j pital and ambulance service in France during the present war in an address delivered at the 138 th anniversary cf the battle of Brandywine, Sixteen tablets were unveiled marking the progress of that battle which led up to the occupation of Philadelphia by the British. Ambassador Jusse rand reviewed the friendly relationship of France to this country as a result of the active part taken in the war of the revolution by Lafayette. He declared that the ser vice rendered by Americans in France during the present war had won the everlasting regard of the Freich peo ple. President Wilson, who had been in vited to participate in the exercises, sent a letter of regret in which he said: "I should have greatly enjoyed the opportunity to say how thoroughly worth while it seems to me to do things of that sort and to keep the bright and definite in the minds cf the people of the country the events, both great and small, of that great period when the nation was brought ;into be ing by the sacrifice and heroism of men whose example it is our privilege and duty to follow."
