' (Special to The Times)
Durham, Aug. 28 -At a meeting
last night of the local Pythians
State' Deputy J. b. Iutt was present
and spoke. He was on a visit to the
lodge -in his official capacity. -.
The fraternalists ,took up the mat
ter of locating the Pythian orphanage
here and appointed a committee con
sisting of R. '6. Everett, W. M.
Yearby, and Dr. R. L. Felts to at
tend the grand lodge at Henderson
vllle next June and. plaqe.thls city's
claims properly before that body. It
Is known that the Pythians generally
are favorable to Durham, and the
three lodges here went On . record as
favoring the establishment of the in
- stltutlon. A site' and land have been
offered the grand domain of North
Carolina and nobody here would be
surprised to see the proposition ac
-. cepted. v. "
General Albert Gilchrist, of Jack'
sonvllle, Fla., is here on a visit to
the family of Dr. A. Cheatham. The
general is a half-brother, of Mrs.
Cheatham. Mr. Gilchrist is the dem
ocratic nominee for governor of Flor
ida, chosen in the second of two ex
citing primaries; His mother, Mrs.
J. A. Gibbs, is also here, and the two
will spend several days here. Gen,
Gilchrist is a popular bachelor and a
favorite over all Florida.
... Editor James A. Robinson is boost
ing his Episcopal chimes fund tonight
and last night by a benefit perform
ance given by the Lake wood Stock
Company. The players are putting
on "A Noble Outcast," and running it
two nights for him. He is trying to
raise -a fund of $4,000 to buy these
ten bells, to be used by the .church,
and has perhaps $500 in hand now.
The editor is making himself famous
all over the country by this effort
and expects to raise the money. He
has received contributions from every
section of the country.
The county convention which meats
tomorrow will select' the next state
senator to represent Durham and the
four ' other adjoining counties. This
county is entitled this year to a sen
ator and it seems that Mr. J. S. Man
ning will have no opposition. Sev
eral other men were spoken of, but
the nomination will hardly provoke
- a contest..' ' '.';':'.-
The city water supply, which was
so badly, damaged by t,be.,floods la.
being aided and the pump-station is
receiving rehabilitation' after ' its' se
vere experience this week. Captain
Mlchle, of the, waterworks, yesterday
said he thought the damage has been
overestimated' and that his business
wil not suffer more than $6,000
against the feared $15,000 the day
before. The water is muddy because
the filter-house " hat been washed
away, but the general condition of
things is very much better than at
first thought, though the destruction
in the country was fearful. A letter
from Bahama says the house belong
ing to Misses Canada was washed en
tirely away.
Why James Leo Got Well.
Everybody in Zanesville, O.,
knows Mrs. Mary Lee, of rural route
8. She writes: "My . husband,
James Lee, firmly believes he owes
his life to the use of Dr. King's New
Discovery. His lungs were so se
verely affected that consumption
seemed inevitable, when a friend re
commended New Discovery. We tried
It, and Its use has restored him to
perfect health." Dr. King's New
Discovery is the King of throat and
lung remedies. For coughs and
colds it has no equal. The first dose
' gives relief. Try it! Sold under
guarantee at all druggists. 60c. and
$1.00. Trial bottle free.

EUROPEAN ACTS WITH
GENTRY BROS. COMING
Big Parade and Two Large
Performances
To Exhibit at Cameron Field Monday
Afternoon and Night- Parade in
Morning New Waterproof - Tent
That Will Seat 5,000 People.
If all reports are true, Gentry has
the best street parade of his long ca
reer as a showman. Embracing more
animals, more features, and mora
high-class acts than ever before.
Everything this year Is entirely new,
except the menagerie. The pavilion
with a seating capacity of 5,000 has
been specially made for them this
season, and is entirely waterproof.
The wagons, chariots, and various
equipages used in the parade and
performance are resplendent in gold
and colors, and every piece of har
ness, trappings, and material either
for use or ornament is as bright and
brilliant as hands can make it. The
elephants are gaily arrayed in their
spangled finery, the camels capris
oned with barbaric splendor,. thB
"prancing ponies and their diminutive
Jockeys decked out in gala attire,
and the tout ensemble forms one of
the most attractive street processions
seen here in a long time. j
Of ' the performance proper, it
bears the stamp of Gentry's trade 1
mark, "Excellence." Mr. Gentry
knows what the public likes, and I
makes it a point to satisfy them, to
this he attributes his remarkable '
success as a showman for the past 20
years. Nothing is too good for his
patrons, and no trouble is too great
in order to secure what he knows
the public wants. Not content with
giving the most elaborate and enter-
tainlng trained animal exhibit in
America, he has this year gone to the
expense of importing acts from Eu
rope, to add variety and charm to his
show. These acts are the best in
their line, and suitable for the class
oi people to wnom tnis snow caters
for their patronage. There Is abso
lutely nothing objectionable In any
shape or form connected with the
Gentry aggregation, their motto be
ing courtesy, attention to the slight
est detail, and the highest class of
entertainment, suitable for the high
est class of visitors.
