Norlina, Jan. 30. The home of
MrT and" Mrs." A. C Bfzzell, on Dar
din street, was the scene of one of
history of Norlina on last Thursday
the most brilliant social events in the
afternoon and, evening, when Mrs
Bizzell entertained a large number of
her friends in honor of her guest,
Miss Georgia Bizzell of Kinston, who
by her graceful and charming man
ner has won a number of friends dur
ing her visit here. t j
The entrance hall and connecting
rooms were tastefully and artistic
ally decorated with ferns and potted
plants and the walls were festooned
with running cedar, pink and white
carnations.
From 4 to 6:30 in the afternoon the
lady friends of Mrs. Bizzell's were
entertained. The guests were met by
Master Gordon Hall and little Miss
Susie Rogers Bizzell, who. took the
ards. In the receiving party were

over by Miss Reade of Portsmouth,
Va. Mrs. W. P. Lif sey conducted the
guests to the dining rooms, where
they were served delicious refresh
ments by MrS. W. C. Hall and Mrs. M.

beautifully gowned ladies made the
scene one long to be remembered by
all present
From 8:30 to 11:30 in the evening
a number of other guest seagerly ac
cepted of Mrs. Bizzell's hospitality
and spent a moat pleasant evening.

j Copenhagen, Feb 1 Stowaways
anxious to get back to the Fatherland
and join the troops at the front are
constantly arriving here. When the
Danish steamer Esrom recently came
in one of the three stowaways aboard,
who had been compelled to work as
stockers revealed himself as a Ger
man prince, as they were being paid
off. Presenting his wages to the oth
er stokers, he said: ,
I want to thank you boys for
your kindness to me when we were
working together. I'm not by profes
sion a stoker, and have not been used
to this kind of work. As a member
of a German princely house I want
you to know that this is one of the
happiest days in my life. Now I can
go and help to each these British a
lesson."
And with that the trio departed for
the frontier.

Paris, Feb. 1. M. Tattegrain, the
well-known painter, is ready to ad
mit that one can have too much rea
lism. Recently he conceived the idea
of painting the bombardment of Ar
ras in his Paris studio and in ord
er to get color he arranged with an
Arras refugee named Vasse, to car
ry out a number of experiments in the
studio with the object of getting a
vivid idea of shell fire. Unfortunate
ly some two pounds of gunpowder ex
ploded by accident while preparations
for the experiment were proceeding
and the explosion wrecked the studio.
Rome, Feb. 1. All foreigners now
residing in Italy are being subjected
to the most rigid surveillance on the
part of the public authorities. When
tne time comes for Italy to carry
out its present plans of intervening
in the war for the purpose of retak
ing the two provinces of Trieste and
Trent as well as a portion of the
Dalmatian coast she does not propose
to have her efforts handicapped by
the presence of any inoccuous look
ing strangers who might in reality be
spies. All Uermans and Austnans
now in Italy are being watched with
especial care and every effort made
to ascertain whether or not their al
leged reasons for being here are the
actual ones. In addition to this sur-
veilance the Minister of Foreign af
fairs is also preparing a list of the
foreigners whom Italy deems it will
be desirable to expel the moment that
hostilities become certain.

the passing of the dividend on Steel

fect on sentiment. There may be more
or less profit-taking and a slightly
lower range of prices. - But there is
every prospect of a new buying power
coming into the market on any good
break, and on a substantial reaction
the South is less likely to offer cot
ton. The market has now reached a
level where contracts are for sale
on advances, and this makes a good
trading market for all interested.

The market was active throughout

(Reported by R. H. Rountree & Co.)
New York, Jan. 29. Evidences of
reactionary tendency in the cotton
market noticed last week, became
more pronounced the last few days.
After selling at 9.10 for May, the
market worked off to 86 yesterday.
There has been a great deal of nerv
ousness and uncertainty owing to un
favorable news from financial quar
ters on one hand, and the lack of ag
gressive selling of actual cotton by
the South, on the other. This con
flict of tendencies has kept prices
moving about in uncertain fashion,
but with no actual weakness in evi
dence. This is in great measure due
to the absence of a sufficient stock
of cotton in New York to act as a
balance wheel. As long as this is the
case, very wide and frequent fluctua
tions are to be expected. But it will
be some weeks before the holders of
March contracts will be called upon
to accept the actual cotton; and this
will leave the market without the
pressure necessary to arouse enthu
siasm on the selling side.
