Theatrical Event of.the Season Considerable interest is centered m the forthcoming engagement of Flor ence Davis, supported by Elliott Dexter in "The Player Maid" next Tuesday night, Nov. 20th at the New Masonic Opera House, owing to' the fact that Miss Davis will present this excrucia tingly funny comedy in this city with the same strong cast, magnificent cos tumes and elaborate scenic effects that have been utilized since its initial per formance. Manager Kehoe was indeed fortunate in securing this attraction and there is little doubt but that it will prove the theatrical event of the sea son. The play itself has a well defined plot, but an exceptionally funny one. Ludicrous situations follow each other in rapid succession so fast in fact that one has not stopped laughing at a fun ny incident when something- else oc curs that causes a roar far greater than the proceeding one. It is said that in the second act of "The Player Maid," where Miss Davis tears up fur niture, bric-a-brac, etc., in her attempt to horrify the staid London nobility, she has given to the stage one of the funniest scenes in the history of the drama. "To laugh is to live to frown is to die."; All the world enjoys a good hearty laugh and that is the natural ri- suit from a visit to "The Player Maid." As an artist, Miss Davis has few equals and unlike many others, she never stoops to horseplay or buffoonery. Her knowledge of stage technique enables fund required to meet the annual in ner to get real unadulterated fun out of terest and provided a sinking fund for the situations. Fun that sparkles and the payment of the principle of the goes with a vim and snap and such op- bonds when they fall due.

BLACKBURN WILL COHTESTELECTION Prominent Farmer Chosen To Hoard of Education A Wise Selection. BOND ISSUE METHOD VS POPULAR VOTE. The Former Hits ftet-u Tried and has Signally Failed to Meet with Snc cess. Popular Vote on Road Improvement Has Proved Most Satisfactory way to Secure Means for Road Improve ment. Special Correspondence . Greensboro, Nov. 10 Congressman Blackburn, was here last night to at end a meeting of the Board of Direc tors of the Tar Heel "Publishing Com pany, of which corporation he is presi dents There was nota quorum present but it is understood ; that Mr John "rouch, the Congressman's private Secretary who has been managing the paper for several months most success fully will be continued in the manage ment Mr. Blackburn left on a mid night train for Washington. He declar ed that heWould contest the election of Hackett to Congress, if the certificate of election was awarded him. He says that he can establish the fact that gtosa frauds were practiced by Democratic election officers' in several of the back districts in many of the counties, and declared that the returns from h;s na tive county of Watauga were still held back and had not been forwarded. At a meeting of the County Board of Education last night, Hon. John C. Ken nett, a farmer of Pleasant Garden, was elected a member of the Board to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Prof. J Allen Holt, elected to the State Senate. Mr. Kennett has been one of the most active champions of public education m" the county, having at one time taught in the public schools. He has been enthusiastic in the various campaigns or the districts lor local school tax, his speeches greatly aiding the carrying of each election in favor of the tax. He has represented the county in the Legislature with great ability and has filled other positions of honor. To be a member of the Board of Education of Guilford County, is con sidered one of the most honorable po sitions in the county, and the new mem ber will make a worthy successor of Prof. Holt, who held the place for 29 years, tie will De a nt associate ior Prof. W. T. Whitsett and Mr. Charles H. Ireland, the two other members of the Board. This Board now has the administration each year of nearly $60, OQO for the county schools alone. The failure of the good roads bond issues to carry on a popular vote in the progressive counties of Mecklenburg and Waka, emphasizes again the fact, that Guilford is the only county in the State if not in the South, that has by . a voluntary popular voe, voted affirmatively for a bond is sue for good roods. Not only did this county vote a bond issue of $300,000 for macadamizing the roads, but the ques tion has not been made the subject of political agitation or demagogery al though since the work began, two hot political campaigns have been waged and two elections held In the county. The board of highway commissioners are administering the fund, and having the road work done and there has been no serious kicking. The bonds are negoti ated as the needs require, not exceed' ing $65,000 per year, and the county affairs are in such' condition, the last bonds brought a premium of ten cents on the dollar. Since Guilford voted bonds, and be gan extensive permanent road grading and building.the contiguous counties of Forsyth, Alamance and Rockingham have made futile efforts to provide bond issues by popular vote. It has already been demonstrated in Guilford, that tha InppMQA tn IKa ftpllitifr tit tftvlnff values of real estate on account of bet- j ter roads and better schools provided . by bond issues or- special local school . tax, more than .effect the necessary none necessary to meet all the final , obligations. The actual result is, the ations at no practical expense to the present. V ! It seems difficult to get farmers and the general public elsewhere to see ki. tM. Thi ohieet lnn In Guilford, which has now fifty miles of splendid roads completed and four forces at work on more. Is such, that will be no trouble in getting another bond Is sue voted, when the present one is used up. It is everlastingly to the credit of both the Democratic and Republican political organizations of Guilford coun ty, that they joined forces for the good of all, as organizations on these ques tions of better roads and better schools, ' sternly knncked any demagogue in ei ther i party, who showed the least purpose of trying to get office by discouraging pub lic progress, or appealing to the natur al kicking nature of the average American citizen.

The work of the orphans' homes of North Carolina is regarded highly by our people, and these institutions are worthy of heartiest support. We can see something of the good they are ac complishing, but the far-reaching, ever widening influence of their work we are not bow able to fully know and meas ure. The; are being greatly used of God in the betterment of lives, in the salvation of souls. Thanksgiving Day has been adopted by our people as a time of special effort for and gifts to the orphanages of the State. Can we in a better, more fitting way express our gratitude to the Giver of all good than by "helping in the care and equipment for life of these home less children? Such a method of ex pressing thanks to God appeals to us, and, surely, it is pleasing to God. The aid received by the orphans' homes of North Carolina at Thanks riving is a factor in the maintenance and improvement to their work, May the observance of Thanksgiving Day this year be even a greater means of honoring God and blessing mankind, New Bern Fishermen Return, Messrs.

Workmen this morning began excavating for the foundation of the Elks,' Home, on the lot recently purchased by the Greens boro lodge at the corner of Greene and SycBmore ptreets, just to the rear of the Benbow hotel building, and in the heart of the city. This building which was planned by architect Western, of Greensboro, and to be constructed by J. C. Morris & Son, of Greensboro, will be completed next spring and will be a model modern fraternity home and club house. It will be ttiree stories of stone, steel ancf pressed brick, and will have all the equipments of parlors, read ing room, lodge room, auditorium and offices, baths and gymnasium that go to make comfort and convenience. It will cost when completed and finished, about $50,000. The lodge of Elks here has over two hundred members of the best people in the city as well as the B. P. O. E , and much of the credit for this magnificent enterprise is due its present Exalted Ruler, Mr. David Drey fus, A committee on the laying of the corner stone has been appointed, and it is said that a splendid ceremonial and banquet will be had. The corner stone exercises will probably take place at 11 o'clock on the night of December the 31st.

There were about one hundred of the teachers of Guilford county present Sat urday, when president Foust called the first quarterly meeting of the Teachers Association to order. The principle topic of dibcussion was the "Township High School and its Object." There are now in the county 25 of the public schools with the high school course taught specially, and the discus sion this morning, in which Dr. W. T. Whitsett, Superintendent Swift, of the city s.hools, Superintendent Foust, of the county schools, and Prof. O. W. Woolsey took leading parts, was as to whether these schools should be con ducted as preparatory for college course or as training for the making of an ed ucation sufficient for a life's develop ment and work. The unanimous agree ment was that these schools should be run on the principal that when a girl or boy completed the course, an education sufficient to carry them through life, as well rounded citizens and well equipped mentally should be the object of teach ers, the preparatory college course be ing simply an incidental of the train ing. For the purpose of uniformity in the county school system, it was also resolved that the "Old North State" copy book be adopted in all the schools. Death of Mr. Thos. Walter. Word from Washington.N.
