Fifteen military Companies
Maj. j. J. Bernard, chairman of the
rommittee on the military feature on
Roosevelt Day (Thursday), says that
he is now fully warranted in stating
hat fifteen companies will be in the
Jne of march. Clinton, Lumber Bridge,
Fayetteville, Goldsboro (Company D)
and Salisbury have notified Major Ber
nard that they are coming. Colonel
Traig has written that 1 Greensboro,
?anford. and Burlington will attend,
but the companies have not replied to
the committee's invitation. They are
xpected, however. Loulsburg and
Ftanklinton have decided to come, so
'he committee is unofficially informed.
The Boys'- Brigade of Goldsborp will
se in line with the troops. Then the
;vo Raleigh companies and-the cadets
)f the A. & M. College are to be added.
The probabilities are that there maj
e fourteen companies, exclusive of the
Raleigh organizations.

Alum baking ponders are tinhealthful. Do not use them for
raising food under any.circumstanc.es. So detrimental are alum
baking powders considered, that in most foreign countries their
sale is prohibited. In many States in this country the law com
pels alum powders to be branded to show that they contain
ipis dangerous acid, while in the District of Columbia, Congress
has prohibited the sale of all food that contains alum.
Alum baking powders are sold to consumers at from 10
cents a pound to 25 ounces for 25 cents, or 25 cents a pound,
and when not branded may generally be distinguished by their ,
price.

The Smith-Crater Amusement Com
pany, occupying seven cars, arrived
from Columbus, Ohio. jThe company
has Ferris wheels, merry-go-rounds,
eight shows and a number of privi
lege people. The Putney Shoe Com
pany of- Richmond, Va., has a large
exhibit, now being arranged. Two
counties will have displays. They are
Wake and Johnston, and both "will be
exceptionally creditable. Cumberland
had intended to have an exhibit, but
finds at the last moment that it will
be impossible to do so.
No Gambling or Indecent Show
Secretary Pogue says that gambling
on the grounds will be suppressed, and
to this end adequate precautions have
been taken. Of course games of a light
character, where there are no blanks
and no drawbacks, will be allowed if
the chances are not more than ten
cents each.
There are hundreds of people who
devoutly trust that the rubber-ball and
whip fiends will also be squelched.
A Big Police Force
Magistrate C. A. Separk, who has had
service as a deputy sheriff, will be
chief of the police on the grounds in
the daytime. He will have forty men
under him. There will also be a night

will double the police force and bring
out the night r men also. Thursday
morning. Besides these, .he has some
plain-clothes men from a distance "who
can't, be spotted," as the chief ex
pressed it.

the flower show to be held this after
noon at Centennial school building

ticipated that the judges will have a

It will be remembered that all the
flowers that are to enter Into the con
test for the prizes are to be plants
that have been grown from seeds dis
tributed to the children by. the -Woman's

"A Son of Rest"
A destroyer of blues and creator of
laugh is a fitting designation for
Broadhurst and Currie's bright, spark
ling muiscal comedy, "A Son of Rest."
It has never met with an adverse criti
cism, and the parting salutation has
invariably been "come again and soon."
Both comedy and company has now
undergone a process of reinvigoration
for this season, when the magnificent
triumph of the season just passed will
be more than duplicated. The man
agement announce a number of im
provements and theatrical novelties in
the revised "A Son of Rest," and the
theatre-going public may, therefore,
expect an unusual treat during the
coming week when it will be seen at the
Academy of Music Tuesday evening,
October 17.
Reports of Football Games
Football enthusiasts will be inter-
ested in the fact that a special leased
j wire will be operated in the R. E.
I Lewis pool rooms this afternoon for
j taking in detail the plays in the game
between the Carlyle Indians and the
University of Virginia and the game
between the University of North Caro
lina and the University of Pennsyl
vania at Philadelphia. The reports
from both these games will come over
special leased wires from loops made
on the grounds where the garnes are
in progress and will be taken rre by
an expert operator. These reports will
be displayed in the pool room window
as the games proceed.
A Polite Parrot
A lady living on New Bern avenue
has a parrot that has been taught to
show its appreciation of food given it
by saying "Thank you." So fixed in
ideas of politness has Polly become
that she thinks every bird or animal
should likewise express gratitude for
Recently a member of the household
was feeding a pet chicken, and the
parrot was looking on. The chicken
rushed up and began to eat, when
Polly deliberately took it by the neck,
pulled it back and commanded it to
"Say thank you, say thank you," at
the same time looking very jiiuch dis
gusted that any fowl should be so
impolite as to eat without being thank
ful. '

Succeeds Capt. V. E. SIcBee to
Sell C. N. R. R.
Change Made on Account of the 111'
ness of Mrs. McBee at Asheville.
Sale to Be at Lumberton, Oct. 17,

ed special master in the stead of Capt.

Railroad as advertised for October 17th

Seaboard Construction Company vs.
The Carolina Northern Railroad Com
pany, wnicn nas Deen pending in tne
United States oourt here for some time.
The order substituting Mr. Gray to
make the sale was made last evening
by Judge Thos. R. Purnell on applica
tion of the bondholders in consequence
of the sickness of Mrs. McBee at Ashe
ville and a certificate from the attend
ing physician that Capt. McBee cannot
leave her at this time. There was a
request that the sale be postponed for
thirty days, but the bondholders object
ed to this and such a course ' would
have added materially to the cost of
the case hence the determination to
substitute Mr. Gray for Capt. McBee
and let the sale proceed.
Advertisements are now running In
the papers and elsewhere for the sale
on October 17th and ,lt was thought
best to let it proceed So the road will
be put up to the highest bidder at Lum
berton on that date.
Bob Will Get the Money
(Greenville, S C, News.)
The original Bob Haynes Is not go
ing to let any of the tainted money at
the Raleigh state fair get away next
week if he can scotch it with a joke
President Roosevelt wUl be one of the
attractions, and the genial Bobble nat
urally expeots a tremendous crowd-
From the Raleigh Evening Times It is
learned that the Greenville end man
will have a minstrel performance that
will certainly make good, and being his
own press agent Bob is telUng the peo
ple that they just cannot possibly af
ford to visit the city without buying a
ticket to his show. He does not expect
President Roosevelt to occupy a box
seat, for the president cannot remain
overnight, but other people, whose
money is equally as good, will be there,
and they will have to see Haynes if
they want to be happy. Bob's creed
Is . that the proper way to separate a
man from his money is by providing
something to make him laugh while
the thing is being done, but as the
proceeding will require about two hours
there will be nothing questionable
about the act. The minstrels are said
to be the cleverest ever got together
by an amateur, and with Bob Haynes
as the star there'll surely be some
thing doing.
Don't Borrow Trouble
It is a bad habit to borrow anything,
but the worst thing you can possibly
borrow is trouble. 'When sick, sore,
heavy, weary ' and worn-out - by the
pains and poisons of dyspepsia, bil
iousness, Bright's disease and similar
Internal disorders, don't sit down and
brood over your symptoms, but fly for
relief to Electric Bitters. Here you
will find sure and permanent forgetful
ness of all your troubles, and 3'our
body will not be burdened by a load of
debt disease. At all druggists. Price
50c. Guaranteed.
Banner Must Come Down
Contributions were being collected
yesterday to place a decent banner
across Fayetteville street in place of
the string now fluttering. A banner
has been engaged from another town.
As stated yesterday Secretary Pogue
says the present banner will be 'taken
down. If it is not it is safe to say
that some public-spirited citizens will
carry out the common threat and tear
it down or destroy it.
The Governor Pleased
Governor Glenn returned yesterday
from Murfreesboro where he opened
the fair. He reports a delightful trip
and that he was highly pleased with
the fair. He addressed 4,000 people and
they were a prosperous, happy looking
crowd. The exhibits, he said, were
highly creditable.
