It, was "just great" as one enthusiastic member of the audience announced as she was leav ing the building after the fall of the : final curtain. , ' , Thorn ia litt.ln rlmihfc hut that Miss - Elizabeth Southerland,jvith tier won- " derful serum, will have her office be- seiged by the lovelorn, : or would-be . ' lovelorn for the remainder of r. her stay among the people of Tarboro. - Madam Hymen-Cupidd has fortune at her beck and call, all locked up in her bicycle pump or rather her- ma- - chine of inoculation. As a character - -tor part of. the play, praise will not be just due to Miss Southerland be ' cause of the inability to give her jus - tice.x She -was ""just great" if we may - repeat the expression. -Miss Mary Powell may not have J had any real designs onwell-rthe stage, but we take our hat off to her as the well we" just take our hat V off to her. ' Lovie Long may have been her name of the evening, but she might well have the name "Keep Them Laughing Long" -and no ques tions asked. "Miss Powell put her self, into the play from the very be ginning, and became a favorite with the audience. Her ad-libs were of the best, and whenever she spoke . the audience just had to laugh. f She was splendid.'- Miss Hattie Taylor is capable of cheating" evidently. When there are not enough jneri to go around, and ,one has lost in the lottery of love, VTTls a "mSaffTricfttfl step-In" and take ' S away a lawfully and honestly won -' "heart-mate" from one's friend. Nev- - ertheless Miss Taylor; as Ima Fraud - lived up to her name in the play last night, and from her' man ' chasing friend, Wanta Mann, played by Miss Lillian Pitt, did take and hold, keep and confiscate one .Simon Shy though we noticed that it was not Sir mon "who was shy when well when it was time to be otherwise. But one can not choose the stars in such.' a play. To each is due only the best that can be said. True to life in the real, Miss Katherine Phil lips took ttie part of Priscilla Prunes i and well she did portray and prove that there is nothing in a name T Neither, was Miss Philips s like unto " the quaker maiden of long ago whose first name she did hold," npjvwas she pruneish.as she took her - departure from the stage in company with her newly confiscated love. . Miss Lillie Lonesome. , alias Miss Sue Fountain, will ne'er be lonesome longer. She has captured and caged and tied to herself one that the mi crobe of love -but then who would - resist the call of the still water that runs deep. .Miss Emma Cobb, like unto the vanmires of the screen,. did i use the rose in her final attack upon the heart of one of the opposite gen der, and well she did do it. Two " , shots of that serum will guarantee thatshe has her man as well attach ed as she did portray and interpret her part on the stage last night. Bridget, true to . the well earned reputation of the Irish with the . ' brogue and laughter, did get her a i s man on her own hook, and the need of the Berum of the germ of the mi crobe of love was not needed. "Sure and she did ogle Pat when he was after a singing her' the love song" and Pat was there with the goods. , Miss Shuford as Bridget and Joe Bunn as Tat did give the audience the true Irish interpretation. . ' Mr. and Mrs.'Henpeck, alias Edgar Hart and Miss Blanch Burgess but -what's the use of telling about the Henpecks? We all know, them, see them every day, and with the splen did interpretation of their parts last night this couple brought to mind well certain every day examples that are not missing in our own commun ity. Billy Bachelor (John Pender, jr.), was only faking. He had and has no idea of remaining' a bachelor, but his line rang so realistically and so - true last night that the audience did really believe him until he capitulated in the final act.- Wilson Davis, other- - wise known as U. B. Careful, was so careful that he sealed the bargain in the real and only true to life way whenLovie Long said "yes." Bobby Bashful was far from the true John Josey. We know John too well, but he evidently is an actor, as he fooled us until he came out in his true self in the finals.

I know that we cannot build a good road in a day or likewise develop a system of maini tenane, but it takes time to get our people to fullyrealize the value and necessity of good roads. Rome was not built in a day. The subject should be kept continually, before the people, get as many as possible to take thought about the matter, if ever so little ; . show some interest. While we may not all agree' in opin ions and views of the subject, there is qne everlasting fact- that we are agreed on, and that is the economy, satisfaction and comfort. realized in riding on good roads. It is also an absolute fact that every person in the county at some time will ride on our roads.; unfortunately, while we may not agree as to the best way to pro mote and further the public welfare and it)" progress.

ENGLAND PREPARING FOR I TERCENTENARY CELEBRATION SAILING PILGRIM FOREFATHERS : Shanghai, May 1L (By Associat ed Press.) The British Chamber of Commerce of Shanghai, representing the bulk of British interests In the Far East, has put itself on record as in favor of ' China's claims in the Shantung controversy. This is in line with action taken by American commercial organizations In China, and is regarded as significant in view of the fact that a part of the Eng. iisn commercial enterprises in the Orient are linked with the Japanese -inis chamber," declared A. W. Burklll, chairman of the British chamber's directorate in his address at the annual meeting, "is in full sympathy with China in her very nat ural desire to have control of this province returned to her. - "When one takes into considera tion that Japan in taking Tsingtao With the help, of British, troops, was only doing' her part as an ally, her present attitude Is hard to under stand. "She Is taking deliberate stcs to control 'the whole of the land sur rounding the harbor, docks, wharves and railroad terminals, and every ob stacle is put in the way of other na tionals of acquiring any property In what undoubtedly is the business cen ter. : This policy can only be con strued in one way, viz., that Japan is not going to allow any other nation to have an opportunity of trading an lair and equal terms with her own nationals.

The thousands of American tourists, who are expected to visit Europe this summer, will be disappointed if they look forward to all the comforts of the days before' the' war. i - This verdict has been expressed to the Associated Press corresDondent by many much-harassed Americana. who, In overcrowded trains between stops at overcrowded hotels, hav run the gauntlet of . passport bureau?. frontier controls and police registra-; tion offices, institutions which still prevail in many countries, only in a slightly less degree than during 'Jie war. Passports, and passport visas, are necessary everywhere. Even to make the five hour trip from The Hague, Holland," ito Brussels, Belgium, re quires days of preparation, and the days generally lengthen' into weeks if one expresses the most extraordi nary whim to make a round trip, or several round trips. . An American, for instance, having obtained in -the United States a Dutch visa which permits him to land In Holland for a brief stay, desires to go to Brussels Just five hours away. On arrival in Hollarid he has had to register with the police, securing. an Identity card, permitting him to have a bread eard, etc. (for bread is still rationed In many countries), , Desiring to go to Belgium, he must ' first go to his own legation or con sulate, to have his American pass port amended so as to be valid in ' Belgium. This done, after a solemn . oath that it is necessary to go to Bel gium, the would be traveler visits .the Belgian consulate, or legation, he'.,'., finds a long waiting line of persons with a similar desire, finally is at tended to, and speeds off to the police V bureau to have his . identity card stamped in order that he may leave the frontier, But he must surrender his bread card .firBt at still another bureau, which is probably closed for the day. Armed with receipt from the bread card bureau, he returns to the police bureau, gets his stamped Identity card and probably finds the last train to Belgium for the day has gone. . . ' Even when ho gets aboard a train, which may be eo overcrowded that even with a first-class ticket ho may have to ride in a second or third class compartment, his troubles are ' far from cnc!"d. Thero aro waits and passport rnd customs examina tions at both the Dutch and Belgian' frontiers cno examination to get out of Holinnd and another to gel into Belgium, waits In rooms like bull pens in which, if the train happens to bo i ovMed, the scramble for a sub way t.t a rush hour is play in comparison. Thit; condition, typical of travel betwtr-n Holland and Belgium, is as nothing to the difficulties of getting from' Holland into Germany. ' Rapid progress is being made, par ticularly l:i Belgium, to restore rail- - way traffic to normal, but the short age of equipment, duo to war losses, or rhortage of coil, duo both to tha strikes and war, Lai reduced numoer of trains operated to a figure far be low that of before the war and all generally are overcrowded.
