ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1920 NO. 265 HERE IS CHANCE TO RENEW YOUTH World Has Been Too Much With Us, But Music, Heav enly Muse, Will Turn Time r Backward Friday Night (By L. D. Case) . One of the most pathetic passages In all literature will be found in the biography of the great Darwin. It runs like this: "Up to the age of thirty and beyond it. poetry of many kinds gave me great pleasure; and even as a school boy 1 took intense delight in Shakespeare. Pic tures formerly gave me considerable and music very great delight. But now for many years 1 cannot endure to read a line of poetry. I have tried lately to read Shakespeare and found it so intolerably dull that it nauseated me. 1 have almost lost my - taste tor pictures and mu sic. If I lyid to live my life over again 1 would have made it a rule to r. .ail some poetry and listen to some music at least once 'every week, for perhaps the part of my brain now atrophied would thus have been kept alive through use. The loss of these tastes is a loss of hap-piia-so." Why did Darwin suffer so great a loss: uecause ne am nui uevuio himself continuously year in and year out to the cultivation of the higher tastes of his mind and soul. He busied himself with other things. He devoted himself to other inter ests. He forgot that it is nature's law that that which is not fed its appropriate food must atrophy. This is a spiritual as well as a physical law. The things that make man bet ter than a sheep, that keep alive the higher side of his nature, must be paid for by daily interest and labor. Bv iins'lcrtinir to eivp tfiem such in terest, by failing to .devote himself to their "cultivation', he dug tho grave of the liigher possibilities of Ilia emit 1 In "Their Yesterdays" Harold Hell Wright, writing of the thirteen great things in life, places "Dreams" first. In youth we all intended to grow more and more intelligent about , poetry, music, sciynce and all the other thing:) that enrich life and give a golden lustre to the passing days. Cut the number of us is too small in whom this sanguine expectation has h:wu increasingly fulfilled e.s (he : years have come and gone. We have let other interests claim too much of !ivr tii'.p and abort too much of our strength. Hut, in a sense, we can all begin lifo nvpr ncain. A few devoted people, all lovers of music, have planned at a sacriliee of time, money and effort, to give the people of Elizabeth City a series of high class concerts during the win ter season.- Is there any one in this ' community of limited opportunities to hr.ir the best music, who does not need to patronize the concert to bu given by the Choral Society? Can j any one hear good music too often?! And is there anything more worth while than to cultivate an umler-! standing and appreciation of the' works of the master composers of the world's music? "The Holy City," to be rendered : by the Elizabeth City Choral So ciety Friday night, November 19, is a wonderful creation. The Choral "o.-iety w!ll be accompanied by!

ElizabU City Vyj Left TI Morning tc iJ'.uy Red C Friday Afternoon When the Rocky Mount football team came to Bestcity last week, the , Rocky Mount girls did their bit to ! help the boys win by sending them telegram after telegram for their encouragement. Every boy on the team got at least one telegram from a Rocky Mount girl, and the team it self got a number. They were all in the nature of expressing confi dence and jollying up the boys. The Rocky Mount boys did not win, thanks to the Elizabeth City team,., but they played a good game, and doubtless, the interest shown in them by the home town girls helped quite a lot. Now on Friday the Elizabeth City boys play at Red Oak. Everybody wants them to win and it is hoped the girls will at once see the moral to this little fable and do what they can tohelp. The Elizabeth City team left this morning for Red Oak, accompanied by Edward Flora. Prof.' Combs and Prof. Holmes will go tonight. The game will be played Friday after noon. Telegrams should bo sent to night and early Friday morning. Railway Labor Board Hear Labor Demands Cicago, Nov. ( 18.
