REPORT OF STATE TAX COMMISSION FOR 1912- For the year 191 1 there was in crease in assessed valuation of all property in State of io.oj per cent as compared with 1910, and of 29 per cent as compared with the former quadrennial assess ment period of 1907. Total tax valuations in the State mtrc than (toubled from upt to 1911, the figures being three hundred and forty-one million for 1901 and seven hundred and forty million for 191 1. The Commission recommends that the Legislature find some other means than an increase in the rate of the general property tax, if it should be found neces sary to have more revenue than is provided by the increase of property valuations. AT THE ROSE SATURDAY, JANUARY nth. Bunyans Pilgrim Progress, in Four Parts. The world's greatest film fea ture, 3.500 feet of motion picture art, graphically describing in one hour the story of the most won derful book ever written by man. It is needless to go into details in regard to the story of the book for it is safe to asy that almost everyone is familiar with the work. The picture is endosred by thousands of the ministers all over the world and in comment ing on the film some have said that it is "Positively the most wonderful production they have ever seen." It is generally conceded that it was during Iiunyans imprison ment on Hertford 11 ridge in the year of 1(76 that he wrote the first part of the immortal master piece. And as Ilunyan slept within those prison walls he dreamed a dream, so beautiful, os wonderful,, that the like of which has only been equalled by the masterful interpretation of "Pilgrims Pro gress" as produced by the Am brosia Co., of Turin, Italy. They have left no stone unturned to ac complish their object in making one of the most wonderful pro duction the world has ever wit nessd. In securing this picture the management of the Rose has went to a very big expense and were forced to take a date that they did not want in order to gel it at once. .'...-''' o Miss Nannie Caffey returned yesterday from a visit to Winston-Salem. WILLIAM ROCKEFELLER ELUDES THE PROCESS SERVERS FOR FORTY DAYS After a search of forty days, the process servers representing the Pujo Trust Iuvotigating Committee have succeeded in lo cating William Rockefeller. Ser-geaiil-at-Arms Kiddell of the House of Keprcscntatixcs and his men made many attempts to serve Mr. Rockefeller with a subpoena calling for his appear ance before the Pujo bna.r on January 6. but the task was not easy, and the chae was shifted from the Rockefeller home in Tarry town to New York with disheartening regularity. The Kerry Widow at Winston It is always a pleasure to an nounce a forthcoming attraction under the managerial direction of Henry ". Savage, as this impres ario invariably sends en tour a cast and production equal to the organizations presented under his name in New York City. I'nfortunately some managers, whose methods are pennywise and pound foolish. end en tour s'haggy productions and inferior casts, trading on the reputation of a Xew York success, and trust ing to charge top prices and get away from a town before play goers realize the hoax. Mr. Savage has never yet sprung a counterfeit as witness the plays and operas that have been stamped with his trademark in bygone days. Therefore it is natural that lo cal playgoers should extend the kinedst greeting to his produc tion of "The Merry Widow," the famous Lchar operetta which will be seen at the Auditorium, Winston-Salem, Wednesday Jan uary 15. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to take this method of expressing our appreciation to our kind neighbors and friends during the sadness that .shadow ed our dear home by the sudden death of our loving father. We feel this is indeed a poor way and words on paper are so cold com pared with our appreciation, still we can only in a way thank each and every one that came to our aid. We know that God does best but it is so hard to part with him and .we-have the consolation of knowing he is now in Heaven watching over us. We only wish we could do as we feel we would like to for the kindness that has been bestowed upon us. Mrs. C. W.
