The Raleigh Post has the following concerning the famous Ted E. Faust minstrels which played ' to a large house In Raleigh Wednesday night: "Ted E. Faust's Superb Mfhstrels appeared at the Monumental Theatre last night, and the universal verdict of the audience was that this is one of the cleverest, most entertaining and skillful minstrel troupes Raleigh has witnessed. The -singing, the dancing, the comedy, the music and the acro batlo feats were excellent and called forth prolonged applause. The work of the Faust family alone would make a fine show in Itself, and the singing and dancing was up to the same high standard. Ted Faust has a first-class minstrel and deserves liberal patron age." . At Lo 'tin's opera house tonight. A Child Burned to Death. The little 3-year-old girl of Pastor R. R. Nichols, of the colored Metho- dlst church of this city, died an awful death last night at midnight as result of a horrible burning yesterday The little girl was playing in the fire with a broom, alternately sticking the broom in the fire and then pitting her foot on it to stamp out the blaze, when its dress caught fire. Her elder sister. who was in bed in the room, jumped off the bed and put out all the fire she saw, but the under clothing of the child was oh fire and caused her to scream. The child was put in bed and it was not thought that she was badly burned until last night when it was discovered that she had sucked some of the blaze down her throat in her screams. Worked Well if S: Raleigh Hoot. "What has become of T. W. Dewey, the absconding bank official of New bern?" a well known officer and detec tive was asked by a citizen yesterday "Why do you suppose he has not given himself up after writing that he would do so?" "Give himself upl" exclaimed the officer. "You thought that, did you? "Weii, that letter was the slickest thing yet, I think. He simply made a bluff that he. intended to surrender so the $4,000 reward offered for him was with drawn and the police and detectives quit working to find him. Then he easily got clean away. That is what I thnk about It" The citizen did not agree with the officer but the latter was decided in his views. : " Murder on Excursion Train. Littleton, Oct. 29.

Mrs. Elias Turnage and daughter Miss Lucy, visited Mrs. W. M. Ed wards at Ayden yesterday. The school committee in Ormond s ville township is finding it rather bard to secure teachers for all the places wnansine matter? This is the cry all over this section. Is it because the teacher is not paid well enough or are there more schools than formerly only a few years ago there were more applications for schools than there were schools, but there has been change. It is hard to find enough teachers now. It must be that the in creased demand for better qualified teachers has lessened the .number. cannot be that the number of teachers wanted is as great as it was before so many schools were consolidated. We hope that it is a good Blgn instead of a bad one. GSAINGERS ITEMS. October 29, 1903. Sggs 18 cents per dozen. Mr. W. O. Rasbery went to Ureen ville Thursday.

When we were boys, Ve used to plan ? how we would scare some other fellow half out of his wits with "fox-fire" from a rotting stump. In the dark, he'd think a spook had come to get him. Just the other day I read how a miner's lamp had been invented that was entirely safe even in the midst of inflammable gases, because its cold shine came, not from combustion, but from lumlniferous bacteria feeding upon a culture similar to decaying wood.:1 So, with inveterate and un conquerable optimism, we may well believe the wit of man will turn these servitors of death into lamps to light the path of progress. Whether we look Outward to the farthest reaches of the universe, ,or inward to where the microscope falters and turns b tck, we una tremendous forces working. We may hitch our wagon to a glim mering microbe, but we shall get on in either case, if only we be set on getting on. , BY RAIL TO SOUTH AMERICA.
