THE CHATAUQUA An Event of Much Interest to the People of That Section Trenton, Feb. 27. The three days ehautauqua opened on Thursday at Trenton in the school auditorium at 3:15 p.' m. to a large and enthusiastic audience which almost taxed the ..hall to its full capacity. Mr. Hal Merlon, the famous magician of Brooklyn, N. Y., opened the program to the delight of not Only older people, but to the children as well. His tricks in -magic are most novel an d inter esting and his pleasing personality is the delight of his audienoe. In the evening his program was entirely different and his ventriloquism was a source of great delight to all. Dr. W. H Soars, America's great humorous lecturer, set his audienoe wild with delight, with his two lec tures on "Don't Worry", in the af ternoon and "More Taffye and Less Epitaphy" at night. His stories rolled out with a rapidity, that one hearty laugh was searoely concluded until another rib-splitter was there to talfe its place. Friday 26th, Tho Swatters Quar tette and Swiss bell ringers gave two of the best programs ever heard in this part of the State. They are all ar- artlsted and have, been with the large Chautauqua. . , Mr. Plumstead, the impersonator, made a great hit with our people.' He is one of the greatest in his line cm tho platform today. J Saturday the LaDell Concert Com pany, of Toronto Canada, are the attractions for Saturday afternoon and night; with Dr. Geo. R.

It has been the means of furnishing employment to some which is the main thing we have -to consider as a medium through which we may in a measure relieve the nee- siiy of having them brought before us as charity charges. While we feel so. deeply gratified for this help we have had, we are still asking that you keep our poor in remembrance, and if you have em ployment to offer as well as neces sities for the relief of extreme eases, kmdly notify us, and we. know that God will reward any' sacrifice..

ABERNETH.Yt (Froni Cbartdttej .Observer 1 Who is Abernethy No doubt this question is being heard over the State. One way of locating him, would be to say thathe is a grand son of "My God, ' Abernethy," By way of detail, however, it might be stated that Solicitor Charles L. Aber nethy of the New Bern district is a son of the late Rev. J. T. Abernethy, and seyeral unoles, inoluding, Rev. J. E. Abernethy of Shelby,, are prpminent in the ministry of the Jtf ethodist church. He belongs to a large family', all of whom have wrought weU and successfully in the State. Solicitor Abernethy' grandfather. the late Dr. JR, L. Abernethy, the founder and builder of Rutheford Colleget in Burke oounty, a college that has played a large and influential part in the educational history, of $he State! in that Rutherfoi'd College has. in a quiet though thorough way, edu cated hundreds of young men and wo men for a better opportunity of ser vice, in ife. His grandfather, Doctor Abernethy, was, a unique and power ful figure in the life of the State some years ago. His name lives and is a priceless heritage to a large offspring. solicitor Abernethy, like a great majority of thf others entered the practice of law via the teacher route, He has been a lawyer since 1800. He hasalwajri been active in the affairs of: the Demoeratio party, being member of the Executive Committee, presidential elector b 1900 and 1904. Hels now aorving the third ;term, as solicitor. lie was originally; appoint ed by ex-Governor Glenn and thereaf ter nominated twioe withont , opposi tion and the third time won the nomi nation over strong men by a three fourths vote. ' He is popular , ife the district, and he enjoys the reputation of being loyal to a cause and friends and in alf matters leave no doubt of where- he stands.- '' The expected happened in the room of the committee having charge of the Carter-Abernethy affair this afternoon.' Neither side to the eon troversy could have afforded a com promise of any sort, and an investi gation was an inevitable consequence of the charges preferred in the mat tor. A legislative investigation will be the result, and it is improbable that this could be concluded before the close of the present session. The taking of the testimony is going to require time ana its consideration going to require more time. There would seem no way; of avoiding prolongation of the present session Into an extra session.

HOLD TO WHAT WE HASE The peoplo at thi section endorse what the News and Observer has to say iu its editorial columns of Sat urday to hold to what we have. We are certainly opposed to the State selling the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. It .would be fatal mistake. ; It is the key to Cape Lookout, whore the Government committed ' to an appropriation of some six million dollars, already more than a million of this sum is avail able. Cape Lookout, the Way the ship have to travel is nearer the Panama Canal and ths South American trade than it is from New Orleans to same points. It would be -a fatal mistake to . waste, away ' such great oppor tunities. Wehope the State will stand by itl own pooplo. This is a serious mat tor, , If you want to sell any rail road stock, s ill that from Qolsdboro to Charlotte, from inland point to inland rint but not that which con ned with the ocean and the foreign trade of the world.
