urged to go Maryland and makespeeel es
in the Suffrage campjn there. He is
asked to speak October 12, and -again
later, r The Governor has informed the
committee that after President Roose
velt's visit here he will consider the
matter of going there to speak. In
the letter to the Governor, the question
was asked what was the condition of
North Carolina since the Constitutional
Amendment limiting the Suffrage had
gone into effect. The Governor in re
ply said that it was better than ever be
fore in history of the State and that he
did not believe any self-respecting
democrat or republican desired to see
a return to an old condition of affairs.
He said good had been done b'th to
political parties.' That the republicans
were'getting in better shape aod that
matters were coming to such a condi
tion that later on it would be simply a
question of which two parties would be
chosen, both ofthem having merits,
and the negro question being entirely
iliminated. The Governor had talked
to prominent republicans who expressed
themse ves as well satisfied with the
ame dment and its results, among
them Judges Pritchard and Boyd, , .

Letter to D. R. Davis
New Bern, N. C.
, Dear Sir: Lead-and-oil is not good
paint; don't wear; the rate is, as every
one knows, repaint in three years.
Devoe lasts six, in the same way-
allow wide margin in all such state
ments. What does it mean, to last 7 It
means the same with both.
As to covering: that's another. Here's
an instance. " V ;
Mr J J Hall, Sheffield, Pa., painted
two houses, lead-and-jil; took , 40 galj
Ions. V ;
Last summer bought 40 gallons De
voe for the same two houses; returned
10 gallons. -- "
The paint, that covers; lasts; it's ail
paint, true paint, and full-measure.
Lead-and-oil is all paint but not good
paint; the lead wants zinc. Better
paint Devoe.
Yours truly

Two Enjoyable Plays, -'
'
The Coritne Runkel Stock Company
continued their engagement yesterday
with two performances a matinee and
at night The title of the afternoon
p'ay was la Sunny Tennessee. .The at
tendance was large; the performance
was very clever and enjoyed through
oat. A p' easing feature as well as a
surprise to the audience was the re
ception giventby the members of the
company to the audience. Ice cream
and cake were served on the stage and
the actors were the waiters and specta
tors the guests. It was a "good act,,'
and one which put the play people one
notch higher up in the estimation' of
New Bern theatre goers.
"A True Kentuckian" was the play
presented last night. Although it has
been given here before last nights pro
duction was unquestionably better than
any play that has been acted under the
same or similar name. An act of real
ism was the introduction of two horses
on the stage, tha presence of which af
fyrded realisTn and interest to the show
The actors were all A NO. 1.
Tonight a naval drama, "Uncle
Josh" will be presented which will be
full , of fun and pathos and will have
its measure of clever work. To
morrow's matinee will be The Tiger
Den and in the evening the centre of
interest will be the awarding of the
handsome $25 doll.
Grim Starr of Napoleon.
A grim story of Napoleon is told by
Christian Waag In a Frankfort review
under the title of "Napoleon at Yafa."
A great number of the soldiers were
down with the plague, and one day
Bonaparte sent for bis chief surgeon,
Larrcy. "If 1 were you," he ald to
him, "I should put our plague patients
out of their misery. It would save tneut
from having recourse to opium to
soothe them.'.' ."But my duty is to make
them live," replied Larrey. Bonaparte
then revealed the grim truth. . He anil
JL :rlZrT
used for the transportation of the sick. ,
He must therefore either abandon the
plague stricken to the cruelty of thu
enemy or get rid of them. Mr. Wan'.J
maintains that the order was carricU''
out accordingly.-'--There Is an end, oh-

Theatre goers arc realizing what it
means to get in late to performances,
namely, a wait until the close of the
act before they can be seated. The
theatre management, deserves all com
mendation for the strict enforcement of
this rule, for it gives those who arrive
on time the opportunity of seeing the
play without the old time way of being
made to get up for late comers, or be-1
ing otherwise disturbed by those com
ing in late. ,

Raleigh, Oct 5.-AU sorts of opinions
were expressed regarding the produc
tion of The Clansman here last night
The applause was tremendous and the
interest keen throughout A number
of persons disapprove of the play, some
saying that it ought never be presented
to the South certainly, while others
think it magnificent and an object les
son. One very prominent man said he
wanted the play to be given alt over
England. Governor Glenn was inter
viewed this morning regarding the play
and said that when it began he had con
dieting opinions as to whether it was
best or not to produce such a play, but
that as it continued to develop and
finally reached its climax he was thor
oughly satisfied that it ought to be
presented in every city in the United
States, in order that the rising genera
tion should know the truth as to south
era Ufd in reconstruction days, to the
end that justice might be done the
South. He expressed the hope that all
the people in the South' would give it
as warm a reception as it receive I in
Raleigh. - It is said that an audience of '
at least 2,000 is expected in Wilming
ton and even more at Charlotte. .
Tomorrow there will be a hearing be
fore the Supreme Court of the case in
volving the power of the police justice
Badger of RaUigh to sentence prisoners
to work on the roads or pay fine." The
Superior Court judge said the just e 3
had this power and so did a justice of
the Supreme court from whose opinion
there is an appeal and so the case
comes before the full bench.
. Alfred W. Haywood, a well known
cotton mill owner of H w River is here
and says the low water in the stream
adds very considerably to the expenses
of the mills, which are using steam
power.
" Some of the papers have been unduly
criticising Governor Glenn about giving
so much consideration to petition par
don, commutation, . etc. - The fact is
that it is the policy of the governor to
give all applicants fair hearing, that is
to hear anything that it is right to
present to him, and then act as best he
can in all cases. ) Another rule of his is
that he will be governed by the testi
mony. If he is to be criticised for this
course, why of course he will have to
beat it The governor knows very
well that the constitution gives the
right of petition. T- Any one who will
take the trouble to look over his list of
pardons will see that he is upholding
the court and not undoing what they
have done. Of course he cannot inter
fere with the constitutional right of
petitions. ' , ' " ;
The Governor was reading an editorial
in a newspaper which stated that it ex
pected the prohibition issue to be put

The platform of the governor, as he
himself has declared it is for temper-

industrial improvement and develop-

adoption of such a platform as will
promote all these great needs and in
