V - V I T A I iM i awn mu veua f Afpw ia Coacrrt There Thursday mint. Mary Garden, the famous prima donna soprano, who will make iter first appearance in Charlotte Thurs day night at the Academy of Music, has b en endorsed by the New York reviewer with enthusiasm, equal to that shown any singing artist that has ever visited this country. Jenny Land, Patti, Melba, Nordica, Sembrich, Schumann-Heink, never in their palmiest days received greater; press praise than that accorded Mr. R. E. Johnson's new queen of song, both as concerns her art in singing and her rare beauty. Reviewing her work in "Thias" at the Metropolitan opera house, The New York Sun saw: "It would be folly for othera to attempt "Thais" after Mary Garden. She is a true ver sion, bane of the soul of Athanael," and in every review there is a most extraordinary praise of her myste riously beautiful voice and magnetic personality. Mary Garden is without a shadow of doubt the most famous of living prima donnas, but her career thus far has been connected with the operatic stage and she has never made a eon- cert tour. Up to the present time she has never eared to leave the scenery and the story of the operas in which she has played such important parts, and did not meet the suggestion of a tour on the concert stage with any thing that might indicate the ent'hiv siasm that she usually throws into htfr work. When she fully realized how anx ious many cities in tbe country were to see and hear her, however, cities in which it was not likely that she might be seen in opera for many years to come, she consented to the proposed arrangement. Than, after the tour had been booked and the cities of tbe Pacific Coast objected that they were not to be included, she willingly con sented to postpone her departure for Paris several weeks and signed a con tract to tour not only the eastern and central sections of the country, but to visit all the leading cities of the west coast, j ,! Mary Garden will be seen in Char lotte at the Academy of Music next Thursday night, accompanied by her March; 4 there will be only 60 tomor row.' Tbe ranks ol the minority will he increased from 32 to 41 and to 42 when the vacancy in Colorado is filled. Considering the Bond Question Plans for Making Register of Daeds Soon Fire Proof. The board of county commissioners were in session yesterday and are hav ing an adjourned session today.

Ervin go from Nelson Cairiker's to thunderstruck bridge to look over the proposed road. That J. C. Earnhardt hire Lee Car ver as blacksmith on gang at a salary of $4.1.00 per month. The board is taking considerable time in going over the question of bonds that the county was recently au thorized to issue to pav off the indebt edness. Plans for making the Register of Deeds office fireproof are also being considered. A tax assessor will be appointed and jury drawn for the next term of court this afternoon.

At the quarterly conference of Cen tral Methodist church, held last night, the following resolutions were adopt ed: Whereas, our church has for several years past been carrying a debt of some hundreds of dollars and we have telt that this indebtedness was, in some degree, a hindrance to the prog ress of onr church.

Ty Cobb is tired of hero worship. This may seem unbelievable, but we have Tyrus' own. statement to, back it up. At a recent tiknqtiet in Monroe, La., where the Tigers are training the'Detroit star was called upon to make a speech, and said, among other things: "It is very embarrassing to me to he singled out as the one bright star on the Detroit team. These gen tlemen (pointing to his teammates) are just as much entitled to praise as I am. It takes a number of play ers to make a team. The Detroit team has several great stars, and I would like to see them have their . share of praise. This hero worship makes me tired." Cotton Claims of War to be Paid by Government. Washington, April 3.

Not ar Bad as Feared. That the peach crop in North Car olina is not nearly so badly damaged as was at first feared following the recent cold and severe frosts is the -information coming into State Horticulturist W. M. Hutt, at the State Department of Agriculture. He sayg that letters from the owners of the big commercial orchards around' Southern Pines are to the effect that they atill have in that section from , half to three-quarters of a crop, with tli expectation, on this basis, that the quality t. the fruit will he exoeption- , ally good, owing to the fhinning of the burden for the trees, . .

Washington, Apiil 'X There' a new aong in town. It begins: "Money, money everywhere, "But not a cent for me." This song is being chorused by per sons who have come to Washington frdm all over the whole blessed coun try, fondly anticipating jobs nnder thl incoming Democratic Congress. A bowl went up when Speaker-to-be rChamp Clark announced that there wduld be no new jobs. The howl swelled until it rattled the windows of the House of Representatives when thf next Speaker said that even from many of those that ha,l was to be ta ken what they had in the way of places at the public crib, in order to. please Uncle Sam's urgent demand for economy. Today a group of disconsolabe-Mis-sonrians gathered in front of the Tfjasury and gazed at the building. 'f'Just think of ii a $3,000,000 surplus in there just now and not a dollar of it can we get at," remark ed the leader of the delegation. Then they walked around the block aad glanced at the White House. Ev ery day a host of hungry place hunt ers, after a fruitless .earch through the corridor of the Capitol ,go out side and kick one another angrily while they fasten their eves on the dome. Cannon Won't Seek G. O. P. Lead ership. Washington, March .'il. Speaker Cannon today definitely announced his intention not to seek the republican leadersliip in the next house of repre sentatives. Remarking upon the fact that he had held ihe oilice of speaker for a longer conse :ut i vj term than it ever had been held by any other person, the speaker said in reply to a ques tion: "Of this singular favor of my asso ciates in the republican party I am deeply appreciative. Bnt I do not in tend 'o seek the speakership again, arid, not so intending, it seems most proper, that I should avoid even a re mvte appearance of jueh intention.. ... I shall, therefore, ask my cot-, leagues to respect this wish in the coming caucus and to give to some other member of proper worth and ability the compliment of their nomi nation for speaker."

The selec tion will have to be from the lawyers of the fifteenth judicial district, which is composed of Buncombe, Transylva nia and Madison counties. Three is no indication as yet as to who the probable appointee will be. It is a significant fact that back in August 1908, Governor Glenn ap pointed Judge J. I). Murphy to this judgeship to succeed the late Judge Kred Moore and that Judge Adams, who was an active candidate for that appointment, went into the judicial district convention later in thu fall and defeated Judge Murphy for the Democratic nomimition. succeeding him on the bench after the regular election.
