TWO The Guarantors Are Selling the Tickets to the Chautauqua and They are Cheaper How. GUAEAITTORS TO MX-T FRIDAY AVi'D 2 - - !' AN ; Money Will Be Saved by Buvir the Advance Tickets and There Will Also Be Change. The guarantors of the Chau tauqua will meet in the Com munity building on Friday af ternoon at 4 o'clock, to discuss the plans for winding up the sale of tickets. !v The Chautauqua will be in Salis bury next week, opening the week's I'mcmtm nn the 9nd rTSVnf a a to tiato - - -& "-"vre x on sale by the .guarantors. The tickets are now selling for $2.50 for adult ticket and $1.25 for the half ticket for children. The ar rival of the Chautauqua on May 1st will be the signal to advance the prices to $3 and $1.50 so that no one should fail to make their purchase before the first of the month. The gurantors wish it well under stood that the city gets no benefit cf sales other than the advance sal.?; above the amount guaranteed. Sales after the 1st of May go entirely to the Chautauqua and do not go to the relief of the guarantors. So in addition to being a saving in the cost of the ticket, there is the possibilty of gettng a sum of money for the local library. Everything s to ibe gained and nothing lost by the advance sale. Nothing is gained by waiting, and there will be a loss by waitii.g beyond the period of the advance sale. It is likely that a whirlwind cam paign will be put on for .Saturday and for Monday in an endeavor to close out the tickets alloted fcr the advance les.

Officials of the North Carolina national guard, here Col. H. J. Slocum, of the regular army, stated today that the military. lav of North Carolina is one of the most complete in the country. North Carolina, it is said, is one of the three States in the union in which the gov- , . . 6 , ernor can draft men into the national zimTd, and because -of Governor Bick- ett's opinion as regards conscription during the present emergency, there n-s been much speculation in several quarters as to whether the governor would take .advantage of the power given him under the law if men were slow in coming forward. Officers of the guard throughout the State are making every effort to recruit more men for the various urits, it was said today. DIED ON WESTERN TRAJN. i.fr.
