CADMAN WAS AT HIS BEST Great Lecture Last Night Pronounced Even Bet ter Than That of Last Year by Many In a lecture that held his audience in breatiiTess attention from intro duction to peroratlon.Dr. S. Parkes Cadman enchanced his popularity a mong Elizabeth City people last night on the Chautauqua platform. His subject was "Makers of Ameri ca.", No report of the lecture could do St justice. Cauuht on the tide of the speakers eloquence the listener is literally swept off his feet and in any effort to make notes of the trend of the argument finds himself hope lessly at Bea. But when he ceases to struggle to keep his bearings and surrenders completely to the magic spell of Dr. Cadman's logic, he not only experiences a delightful sense of exhlllration but finds himself al most startled at the clearness, vivid ness and coherence with which the speaker presents his message. t Here Is the gist of Dr. Cadman's lecture: America has been In the making from the beginnings of his tory. He is short-sighted indeed who imagines that American history legan with 1776 or even with 1492. One must go back to the dawn of Mstory. Babylonia and Egypt had their part In this country's making. All that we have of art and of archi tecture, of literature and of law, have come to us from the glory that " was Greece and the granduer that was Rome. Likewise the prophets nd the crucified King of the Jews; Germany and its Luther, its Kant, and Its Bethoven; England and her Bunyan, her Cromwell, her Milton and a host of others; Scotland; France; all the nations of ELrope with their he-oes and reformers these are the Makers of America' Having brought this idea to his hearers, the speaker swept Into his peroration -with a description of the Coronation of Queen Victoria. The audience felt the. stillness of the oc casion and the solemnity of the great English dignitaries as the girl's voice, sweet, clear and strong, utter ed the vow: "God helping me I will maintain". .V1 hout a pause the lecturer-swept to the assertion that his hearers were the sovereigns and kings, by the moRt undisputed tltte, of these United States of America. "God help you to maintain," he cried. And the lecture was done. Before the lecture the Boijou Trio fca've a delightful concert which the audience reluctantly saw come to a close. The Trio was also heard with much p'easure In the afternoon, at which time Mr, Hunt Cook's lecture on Emerson was also heard. Mr. Cook gave Emerson place as fhe greatest American writer. Following Mr, CookV delightful address on Wednesday ;. afternoon The Strollers Quartet of which Chautauqans have held pleas ant recollections since 1914, gave a very , pleasing' concert of sons, .readings, and Swiss bell ringing. Preceding the Chautauqua Mor .( lity play 'Happinesa'.Tn the even $,ig?he quartet again appeared with an excellent program The play proved, perhaps, the .most popular number yet, presented bere cn a Chautauqua platform. The lesson of "llanplness," is Tery murh like that of the popular flay "Everywoman." ' 'Happiness.' ' the lovely hireling of the play, leaves her good old borne town to go to the city with drr-tns, there to brcome a great sin per. Gossip and Skinflint call at her home as she Is leaving, the form er to learn what she can about the vent In order to distort and spread the news,-and the latter to ur;?e the father of Happiness that the study of music Is a great, was'e of money. i i r- - "V rr W; ...,;.. - v -' r. , . ;ri AYt ZLr&u. l. : J-p ' u & 1 4 I...,.; .A.i.i-: V ' -' - - - - -I, V," ' .f -;- JM 'Hill Pw f ' ' " ' ' ' "THE MIKADO" ON CHAUTAUQUA'S CLOSING NIGHT. The Chautauqua Association has just announced thut on the elosinz nijrht it will nrcscnt the Donular oDera. "The Mikado." This will certainW be a record event. Strength Is also there and begs Hap piness to remain in the home town as his wife. In the city, accompanied by Money Happiness meets False Hope. Career Celebrity, Vigilance, too keeps near her side, vainly warning her of un seen dangers. ' Good Time )s also a member of the gay company, but she dislikes Strength and leaves when he comes to beg Happiness to go home with him. Soon Money leaves, and with him. Celebrity, Career, False Hope. Discouragement enters, and Strength comes again to the relief of Happiness but ' again dismissed. Career woos Happiness aided by Money and Avarice, but Pride comes in to save her from making this eacriflce. In the clutch of Career when even Prhte cannot save her, Bhe crIIs for Strength who comes quickly to her rescue, but, the dang er over, is again dismissed. Strength seeks Forgetfulness, and Happiness standing by Is pained that he can thus degrade himself. She calls to him to return to her but it Is too late. Despair enters, tbe twin sister of Discouragement and ten times more powerful. On the field of. Hunger. Passion, Interpei,ane, Temptation, Dishonesty. Defeat, and Death appear and Happiness is almost conquered by these. But Strength arrives In time to save Happiness once more. Dreams having fainted away when danger seemed near. In the last scene Happiness re turns to her home town to be Strength's bride. They are welcom Pd by her father and mother. Gossip and Skinflint, who are lurking about the place, are dismissed by Strength Friendliness Is there and so are True Hope and Patience. Happiness kisses Drenms goodbye and turns to Strength who takes her to his arms. (Continued on Page Six) NOW MANAGER AT LEXINGTON T. C.

The famous songs, "The Flowers That Bloom In the Spring," "Hearts Do Not Break," Tit Willow" and several others,. are familiar, though many persons do not know that they are from "The Mikado," The Gilbert and Sullivan operas are the best music, the best comedy and the most de lightful entertainment to be had. ..

Marshall an Vise President inme'ia'ely there after. Tl e convention will adjourn, to-morrow. For the first tjme in decades, De mocracy's hosts met in qualrienniel ses Ion yesterday with complete a greenient on the choice of national s andi-.rd byarer. There wasn't a delegate who didn't ajree to the re nrminatlon of President Woodrow Wilson . The excrement of the factional strife at Baltimore four years ago . was gone. Advance Indications were for a re :u!sr "love feast" with the only pissit I'ities for any differ ence of opinion present In the build Inp of a platform It was a cheerful, optimistic, cheer lng and confident throng that res ponded to the , bang of National' Chairman William F. McComb's gavel: Xo spec'or of an internecine fight Intruded. First of all, the del gates were meeting in Missouri, one of whose favorite song four years a go was a defeated candidate in the tattle of the ballots, mat amn fav orite on Speaker Champ Clark ar If to -emphasize the healln of the wounds dealt him by the Balti more gathering, was one of theVud est in his praises of the man who took from him the honor of leading the Democratic hosts. 'I believe the convention can adjourn TSy Friday, If it so desires." Chairman McCombs said Just before convening the as sembly, and the present indication Is that the delegates do so desire. St. Louis began playing the host tothe visiting thousands in royal fashion. Non-partUan committees galore whose Interest and energy was bent solely toward making vis itors comfortable and happy, were constantly In attendance. The con vention Is St. Louis's first chance since the Louisiana Purchase Expo sition -of 1904 to entertain distin guished guests, and St. Louisans were de'ermined to make the occa sion a memorable one. The convention hall Itself had been repainted throughout, mostly with white paint so that every possible bit of light was reflected Into Its gi gantic Interior. Special ventilating apparatus ccoled the humrld air. Del egates and alternates alone were permitted on the ground floor, per mitting more comfortable seating space for tho men who actually do the convention work. Every delegate to the Democratic national Conventlon.had had a series of white robed satellite trailing him They arp .suffragettes dressed la white, with yellow parasols, arm bands, sashes and caps. The meat was simply to enulf the Democratic hosts with the preponderance of wo men's desire for the ballot, so the del egates would vote into the national platform a plank approving atsurfrage constitutional amendment. It was es tlmated that there are 8,000 women franchise workers here, and they made things lively In their campaign Ing hy bands, street speeches and dogged pertinacity of their pursuit of delegates.
