Although the authorities were con

State Democratic committee 'n Rah'
eigh had not been advised that Max I
Gardner was to make att address in j
Burnsville tonight, and had scheduled
Governor McLean to go there Tues
day afternoon. But when this er-!
ror was discovered today, it was de- j
cidcd to have the Governor go to Hen-1
dersonville.
Several other changes -n the Cover n
' r'i> schedule also hove been made,
fnstend of speaking ia I.iucolnton on
Thursday night, as had been planned,
he will speak there at 2 :30 in the af
ternoon. owing to the fpet that a big
revival is in progress there and it was
not desired to interfere in any way
with this. Thursday night the Gov
ernor will make an address in either
Concord or Marion.
At notn today the Governor stop

school for boys, and had lunch with
the boys in the main dining hall. He
was introduced to the students by
Chnrges E. -Roger, superintendent of

calling upon them to make the best
of their opportunities while in the
school so that they might become use
ful citizens when they left it.

what he thought of the. story from H.
L. Mencken of the Baltimore Sun,
who in an interview in Chapel Hill,
carried in all the Sunday newspapers,
declared that Governor McLean, was
the logical “dark horse” candidate for
the Democratic party for President.
Mencken declared that there was no
chance of either nominating or elect
ing A1 Smith or McAdoo, nnd that
hence the candidate must be a “dark
horse," and that Governor McLean ;
was well fitted both ;n ability and past j
experience.

take it nil as a good joke, having a
hearty laugh obi of the incident—and
that was all.

THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Easy Today at Decline of 11
r to 20 Points, But Later Rallied.
New 'fork, Oet. 18.—M®>—Tne cot
ton market opened easy today at a
decline II to 29 points, active
net losses of 20
isanls dueing the first few m'mites' na
iler renewed Southern he<lge selling
and liquidation. There also appeared
to.be some local »el\ing on talk of in
creased spot offerings in the South:
aud relatively easy Liverpool cables. /
January contracts sold off to 12.67
but the lower levels seemed to bring
in considerable trade buying, partic
ularly of March and May, and prices
steadied up 8 or 10 points from the
lowest before the end of the first hour.
The favorable weather map probably
was a factor on the early decline, but
Southern selling was less in evidence
| after the first few minutes and the
j appearance of an increased trade de-
I maml largely responsible for the rally.
Cotton futures opened easy: Dec.
12.60; Jan. 12.68; March 13.00; May
13.22; July 13.50.

*l If you have stood bestifd' Niagara,
just below where the falls empiy into
the gorge, and have seen the swirling,
surging waters, roaring at their im
; jtrtsoninents. and dashing off toward
i £j§ak&;; Erie, then you have some idea
ijf what one feels after haying heard
'nie Russian tossack singers. Thkir
music plough* furrows through parts
of the soul that you had believed to
be barren ground and harrows up emo
tions that you had though astropied.
Pne feels, after having heard them,
i that he might paint the world’s mas
terpieces, or might even put into lan
guage some faint suggestion of just
how stirring they are, though that is
a job to be approached with humility
One must know their background,
since it is us much a part of them
as their voices. They were Cossacks
together during the great war. Out
of them wears an armless sleeve.
, Sergei Socoloff organised them into a
chorus and took them trouping over
the world five years ago when Russia
was in her depths. For the past
several- months they have been in
South and Central America. A Co
lumbus, (la., man found them in Gua
temala and recognized in them artists
that might set America on ear. For
only a few weeks they have been in
this country, playing the smaller
pities of the southern states. Next
week they go to Atlanta for a week
at the Howard, their first big engage
ment. We make the prediction that
within the year they will be the rage
in New York. They were in Macon
last night simply because it is a stop
ping point on their journey to the
North.
These people sing the soul of Rus
sia. Socoloff stands before them, in
the Cossack officer’s uniform und
flecks a hand toward the tenors. There
rises from their throats music that
challenges the majesty of Caruso’s
voice. He lifts a hand, ever so little,
toward the basses, flanked by a six
foot five Cossack, and ther issues
from resonant throats a swelling chord
as though the major keyes of the big
auditorium organ had been pressed
Throughout all their music there is
Ate suggestion of the organ overtones.
There are no pauses, no lapses, but
a continual humming. Solos stand
out like flaming torches above thnt
accompaniment. Men who sang those
so’.os must remain nameless since their
names are not on the programs and
would probably mean nothing if they
were. The memory of the first two
tenors, the second tenor, the baritone
and the giant basso singer will not
be easily effaced, however. Nor yet
will Socoloff, with that expressive
• back and those talking hands, easily
disappear.
The Cossack band will appear in
Concord Tuesday evening, October
10th, at 8 o'clock.
