Some hundred or mote citinens at tended the gathering, though whether all were In sympathy with the oppo sition movement would be hard to say inasmuch as the majority portion re mained calm while others imparted the beet information they had upon the subject. J. C. Little, an attorney of Ral eigh, had been employed to art as toastmaster for the occasion. It Is -sported that the attorney was paid 1100 for his services, the fee is not of so much consequence, however, the main point being that people In Harnett county engaged a foreign lawyer to attempt something he could not accomplish, which tho lead ers in Monday's demonstration could Have known. The object of the meeting was to •nskc a ’’shewing" against consolida tion of schools. It was a poor showing. Hard-earned money paid to the Ra leigh laaryor went whore it enmeth °t back.

THINKS MARS CAN BE REACHED BY WIRELESS i _____ hUrcMi Has Nat Changed His Opin ion la Ihw4 Ta Saak A Possibility London, Dee. 11.—Marconi, who j some months ago caused a Cottar in the wireless world by announcing that he had reeeivud a communication of t'Tmrndosu wavs long* which ha Uttered to have coma from Man, hie not changed his opinion on tha possi bility of communicating with that ! planet because of his critics. Although ' r.'.ahle to prove tint the signal he hcaid was from outer space, ha now 1 declares he refuses to say it was not. Discussing the recurrence of such . "inieifereoM" in wire lass eommanl 1 c-ation, he said, “I have stated at vsri I out times that undoubtedly effects re irtnbling signals of graat wavas Isngih occasionally havs been regis tered by wireless receivers—affects coming apparently from aomewhere In space—and thesa observations have been confirmed by many wire loii oUervcrs. I may also havs men tioned on sumo occasions that tha pos sibility of such signals emanating from the planet Mare could not he en tirely excluded for the reason that 1 these effects seemed to havo their source somewhere in specs outside the earth and that the planet Mar* undoubtedly was situated in apase outside the rcath. It is dear, there fore, that when a metaphorical pistol '■'*1 held at my head I refused abso lute1/ to affirm the signals did not •omc from Mara. "How can I know How can any one know? How la It possible ta '.rove they did not? "The signals come from space out side the earth. They may coma from upper reaches of the atmosphere; they may be caused by nagnatic dis turbance in the sun; they may coma . >rom Mars of Venus even. “As a matter of fact, these effects tmro not been neoriy so noticeable of late—I sincerely hope the press wiU not interpret my Inst remark to mean that I assert the Martian^ in despair , at receiving no reply to their signals, have given up the attempt, probably thinking oar state of civUlaatioa to low that they bad better wait fer eev aral thanaand more yean before re peating their attempt" I The Shrine Exposition, which will be held at Durham Christmas week, promises to be .the most extensive and varied exhibition of the prodoets ef the leading manufacturers of the country ever brought together at one time in Eastern North Carolina.
