It is veryeasy to say that "this is the best yet," but all advance comments indicate that the program is;really better than that of any prev iews year and that Ss saying a lot. Fsr the Redpath has proved a popular favorite in Rockingham, and old and young thoroughly have enjoyed the previous entertainments here. 3Mie appearance now of a high class series of amusements and en tertainments must be a contrast to the cheaper forms of amusement that frequent the boards.

There is no reason why there should be a cent's deficit if every guarantor would evince the same interest BEFORE the Chautau qua comes as he or she does AFTER it comes. A Chautauigaia such as this ene is refreshing; it lis educational; it is helpful to a community; it entertains. And this 1924 Chautauqua should g over big, wftk not a penny's loss to any one. The advance mm was here last weeSk placarding the town. The 7-day man (assisting in ticket sales) should arrive about the 10th, and the guar antors will then be called together, an organization perfected, and the sale of season tickets started. .

Hamlet Monday, the roads for 30 which was caused by adhesions from the gall bladder, then removed gall of Richmond county Monday after noon. But he refused to eat. From the time he was arrested Saturday after noon, he steadfastly refused to either eat or drink. To all urgings on the part of the officers he simply replied that he "had not done anything to Richmond county, and would not eat its bread or drink its water." He would go out to work with the gang, but would not work; and of course it was impossible to whip or use physical force on a man who was weakening himself by hunger. His fasting continued until Tuesday night when finally he concluded he would eat and drink. He ate Tuesday night, and Wednesday morning was shoveling like the others, and as though nothing had occurred. - But he had gone for three full days and nights without eating or drinking, and the officers were becoming wor ried as to what to do with him. Per haps his stomach over-ruled his deter mination. : ,'- . the appendix which showed adhe.S' ions. Either of the three operations might be considered a major one. Mr. Everett rallied nicely from the anesthetic, and his condition is en tirely satisfactory at the present time. Dr. Brenizer apprehends no bad effects; on the contrary, he sees no reason why Mr. Everett shouldn't be able to return home before the end of the month, and after a few weeks of rest be his normal self again. All of which will be good news to his friends "back home" and throughout the State at large. With him in Charlotte for the op eration were Mrs. Everett, W. N. Everett, Jr., Miss Everett,, Jno. L.
