HAVE YOU BOUGHT ;
YOUR CHAUTAUQUA
TICKET? DO !T NOW!
Remember, the Money Paid*
For Single Admissions at
the Door Does Not Help
the Guarantors.
SEASON TICKETS
ONLY $2.50 EACH
The Program This Year Will
Be the Best in Years.—
Program for the First Af
ternoon and Evening.
Unless the people of Concord stir
from the apathy into which they seem
to have fallen in regard to the Chau
tauqua which begins playing here tomor
row afternoon, the men who liave signed
their names as guarantors will be forced
to dig -down into their pockets and make
up the deficit, is the opinion of members
of the Woman’s Club who have been
conducting the sale of tickets during the
past few days.
Large numbers of people expected to
take tiekets for the performances, have
declared that they are planning to go but
that they do not wish to purchase a sea
son ticket, preferring to pay for the sep
arate numbers they attend, say the can
vassers.
Although they have pointed out that
the season ticket means a saving of mon
ey and the possibility of getting to see
niore of the attractions, many people still
insist that they would rather not take
the $2.50 ticket.
Miss Janie Klutz, president of the
Woman’s Club, stated this morning that
they were going to redouble their efforts
to go over the top in the matter of tick
ets and made an appeal to the people of
Concord to back the Club in its effort to
bring in a worthwhile amusement. “The
Woman's Club is not willing.” she said,
“to see the public spirited men who have
backed us in this matter, lose money and
have to go into their pockets to pay for
the Chautauqua. I believe that if the
people understood that money they pay
at the door when they go in does not help
the guarantors, they would be willing to
assist by purchasing season tickets. Three
of the evening performances, paid as 'the
door,’ will equal the amount of money
pa 14 foe the season ticket.”
T*he average cost of a performance,
when a season ticket has been purchased,
is around 16 cents. Miss Kluttz added.
Mr. Kockwood. who pleased last year’s
Chautauqua audiences with his excellent
work as platform manager, will return
this year. There has been much enthus
iasm over this announcement since Mr.
Kockwood was one of the most popular
managers that has ever been in Concord.
The program this year is one of the
best in years, say persons who have seen
it. and the Woman's Club is hoing to be
able to complete the sale of tickets today
aud tomorrow.
The following is the program for the
first day :
Thursday afternoon: —

Work on Venable Hall was begun a

Filipino Girls Slow to Adopt Fashion of
Bobbed Hair.
(By the Associated Press)
Manila, June 3.—While Filipino girls,
in small numbers, have for some time
shown a tendency to adopt European
dress, it is only recently that they have
venture dinto the field of bobbed hair.
Only a few so far have yielded to the
temptation to clip their long black locks,
but many prediction are made that the
custom will grow because of the comfort
afforded by short hair in this tropical
climate.
Parental objection is strong against
the innovation, as the Filipino woman
takes the greatest pride in her long thick
hair which in many cases reaches to her
ankles.

No Basis For Report as to Mob Form big.
Smithfield, June 2.—Smithfield people
were amused when they heard that there
were some folks in Raleigh Monday night
who took seriously the report that a mob
was forming here to go to the capital and
seek to wreak vengeance of Officer Jesse
Wyatt for the killing of S. S. Holt.
There was nothing here to furnish the
basis for sue ha suposition. At most
there might have been a chance remark
of an irresponsible or unthinking person
that a crowd ought to go over.
Mr. Holt's friends and associates were
all men who stand for law and order.
The finding of the grand jury and the
size of the bond under'.which the officer
was placed both met wit h approval here.
Johnston people are confident that Wake
county authorities will see that justice
is done.
