People Celebrate
Freedom.
Their
A large crowd of the representative
and more respectable class of the col
ored people of New Bern and Craven
county gathered at the court house
New i Year's day to celebrate the 43rd
anniversary of -their emancipation.
The order maintained and the program
rendered was most excellent; the pro
gram consisted of patriotic, literary
and musical selections, and an oration
by Dr. J. Harvey Anderson, pastor of
St. Peters church. ' ,
The officers of the 'Lincoln Socia
Club, who conducted the affair, promi
nent guests, and participants were
taken to the court house in ' carriages
L. ' W. Ham, President, called to or.
dor, and made some preliminary re
marks; a choir of select voices rendered
the National Hymn; Rev. D. L. Maultz
ley, of Clinton Chapel, offered prayer;
sevral exceptionally fine selections
was rendered by the Decorum Glee
Club; J mes A. McWilliam, ' of the
Faitern : North Carolina Industrial
Academy, read the Emancipation Pro
clamation, Mrs. Mamie B. Green, sang
. well received solo; Mrs. Ella of. Bat
tle, recited; the Misses Elitha Carter
and Violet Wooten rendered a duet; J,

Green, H. C Sparrow, and Miss Mar
tha A. Green. . -
The President introduced the princi
pal Bpeaker, Dr. J. - Harvey Anderson,
who delivered a most excellent oration
occupying nearly an hour. .v
Tne speech was conservative, elo
quent,; and abounded in wholesome ad-
vi:e to the colored people, and the con
census of opinion is.that it was best ad
dress ever delivered on a similar occa-
fci in by a colored orator in New Bern
The speaker showed himself possessed
of a wide knowledge of national his
tory and events.
The Lincoln Social Club are deserv
ingly proud of the success of their ef
forts, and orderly, creditable conduct of
the colored throughout the entire day.
' . "Pictorial Perfection,"
The January issue of The Burr Mc
intosh Monthly, which is now on all
news stands, is a remarkable example
of "pictorial perfection." It is the only
publication of the kind extant and the
publishers as well as the public are to
be congratulated in being able to ob
tain such exquisite pictures so attract
ively presented. The portrait form of
the January number contains such emi
nent stage people as the late Sir Henry
Irving, Sarah Barnhardt, Emma Eames
Viola Allen, Mrs. Leslie Carter, Edna
May, Fritz Scheff and Julia Marlowe.
The charming holiday story by the well
known writer, Zona Gale, is beautifully
illustrated. A liberal space is given to
the portraits and brief biographies of
such fam us people as Thos. A. Edison,
Seety of War Taft, Sir Henry Irving
and Chas. E. Hughes, who has been
directing the insurance investigation in
New York City. .
The cover is a portrait of Miss Marguerite-
Clark, the little lady of the
stage who has made such a success in
die light opera "Ilappyland." Miss
Clark posed specially for this portrait.
V ith this number the monthly calen
dar in colors is aain introduced, the
purposes being each month to show
same seasonable pictorial effect in con
nection with the calendar for the month
tho twelve issues making a splendid
collection of artistic scenes and coloring
well worth the. price of the magazine.

COTTON GROWERS CONVENTION
State Association Meets, Elects Delegates to
i , New: Orleans And Holds Long :
; Discussion. . i
Raleigh, Jan. 4. The North Carolina
Cotton Growers Convention had a five
hours session last night, and it wa.
really considerable time before it got
down to business. It has chosen a
good delegation to the Southern Cotton
Convention at New Orleans, this being
composed of John S. Cunningham, W.
C. Heath, James H. Pou, C. C Spar
row, J. Y. Hamrick, M. S. Griffith, J.
J Mott, R. W. Livermore, and H. C
Dockery, all of the these except Col.
Cunningham being large planters, Mr.
Deckery leading in the vote for com
mitteemen. The election of Mr. C.
C. Moore of Mecklenburg was by no
means unexpected, ' his position in the
organization having been very promi
nent; and valuable during all the past
year. Col. Cunningham had ' served
during his year's tenure of office with
nis usual zeai ana naa travelled on
practically all the cotton-growing coun
ties. The matter which prolonged the
session of the association was the quea
tion of the management but the final
agreement that this should be really in
the hands of an executive committee of
five members settled the' question very
well indeed. ,- The first arrange
ment ; made was for $2,500 sal
ary, for the president and $600 for
the secretary-treasurer, then the latter
salary as increased to a salary of $1,000
and then all this was done away with
and the matter of salaries as well as
the general management left to the exec
utive committee which is given plenary
power and which is regarded, as ; being
lir oest solution of any and all d:lhcul-
ties which have arisen or may arise.
It ia,the opinion of members that the
State can be more thoroughly organized
through such a committee which will
carefully choose the workers in the
various counties, than in any. other
way. ,
