THE STAGR
The old stage, the past is gone,
driven out by the march of im
provements. The live horse
has been supp'anted by the
iron horse, the pictursque
driver by the jolly, engineer. .
Notwithstanding this fact
there are thousands of peo
ple still anxious togo "on the
stage." Why, oh why, don't
Homebody write a new farce
comedy for the stage, one
that won't ,be a rehash of all
the ones that have gone - be
fore, one that will haie a new
song that hasn't been sung to
death, or a new dance that
has never been dan: before?
Why don't Homebody in this
diyand generation that has
run realism to death, this
time when real snow, real :
rain, real horses," real cmts,
real wa'er tanks, real pile-.
drivers and'real pugilists are
on the stage, why don't, some
body write a ne.v Hainlet and
use real ham? Speaking of
stages, there . are several
stages used in getting to the
front in business. First, the
exp'rimental stage; second,
the. stage of uncertainty ;third,
the successful stage. We're
already riding on the third
stage, up on the front
"with the driver, permitted to v.,
crack the whip ourselves oc
casionally. In one short
year' we passed the experimen
tal and the uncertain stages,
and today there's no guess-work
about our business su -cess.
What has been the
means ef our rapid transit?
Straight work, bard work
work all the time. In one
yar men and v.omen have
learned to believe in us, to
know that we always gi e
value good, big value for ev
ery nickel that goes into our
money drawer and we don't
do it for one day or on any
out) line of goods, but we do
it every day and on every line
of goads we sell. We are
showing some emphatic val
ues at the furnishing coun
ters this week, values that
are crowding the wide aisles
-full of customers. We have
already done a good winter's
business in underwear and we
are prepared for a good deal
more. Remember, . we are
.sellinjrunderwear fifty cent
values at 30:., sixty-five cent
values for 40c. j seventy-five .
cent values for 50o. j ninety
cent values for 60j.; dollar
twenty-five values for 80a.
and the values are not fictiti
ous; it wouldn't pay, and this
stage of the game and the
same good values tan be
found in the dress goods de
partment; values entirely
worth your time to see. And
.in carpets some principles
hold good. This is what
makes our store so popular '
right 'now in the fad of low
price cotton.
Respectfully,
D. T. Swumua. '
THE ELECTION.
Tho Result Unfavorable to the
Democrats
Yesterday's election was a surprise
to most people. The democrat are
blue, while the fusionists of course
are full of rejoicing. Today's Char
lotte Obserter says: "The result in
North Carolina i in grave doubt. It
is tolerably certain that we have lost
the senate branch of the legislature,
and much of the house appears to
have gone with it that is t
say, it looks as if the fusionisls will
have a majority on joint ballot in the
u-xt legislature, and that we shall
l.ise both senators. Along with the
legislature, of course, go the state and
j'ldicia1 tickets. We seem at this
time to hae lost these. It will be un
derstood, however, that we write from
very incomplete returns and that t'r
days's may put a very different aspect
upon matters."
In an interview today it li a well
known demorr.it here, he said that the
news was bad; that it now appeared
that the demo lafs had ele. t-d con
gressmen in only three districts;
Woodard in the se. oud, Shaw in the
third and Lockimt in the sixth. He
said he was prepared to concede the
d-'feat of lvi'aiuh, demociat, in the
:irst distric .
A .!! k ai nvn fusionist said that
aceordiu ii, his figuring the demo
crats had failed to carry live districts,
the first, fourth, fifth, eighth and
ninth.
A democrat who made what he
claims is a close calculation on the
legislative vote says it. shows a small
demo ratic majority in the legislature'
Interest in Wake county has been
very great, the fusionists claiming it
by very heavy majority, while the
democrats denied the claim. Mr. W.
0. Stroliach, democratic district chair
man, pa id that from the present out
look the county and legislative demo
cratic ticket had been elected by a
majooity of from 300 to 400. In re
gard to the congressional contest Mr.
Stronach said the result was very
doubtful; "so doubtful," he said,
"that I do not wish to express an
opinion."
" Mr. Otho Wilson, fusion chairman,
was seen and said that the fusionists
had carried the county ticket by 1125
majority, with five precincts yet to
hear from, and that the legislative
ticket was elected J by at least 1200
majority, leaving-live townships yet to
be heard from. He said that Stroud's
majority, over Cooke for congress
would be at least 3,000 and gave the
following as returns of votes in vari
ous counties as made to him: John
ston, Cooke 700 majority; .Franklin,
Cooke 200 majority; and the follow
ing Stroud majorities: P.mdolph, 500,
Chatham 800, Wake 1,100, Nash 800,
Vance 750.
The vote on congressman in Raleigh
was as follows: First ward, Cooke
364, Stroud 77; Second, Cooke 198,
Stroud 344; Third, Cooke 165, Stroud
22; Fourth, Cooke 124. Stroud 288;
Fifth, Cooke 384, Stroud 142; Outside
east, Cooke 128, Stroud 241; Outside
west, JJooke 140, Stroud 318; total,
Cooke 1,,503, Stroud 1 432.
Democrats who came from Durham
conn'y today were very blue. They
say Settle's majority will be 2,500
over Graham.

Jho Garfield Colored School is
Excellently Conducted.
The Garfield s hoot, the smaller of
the t.vo city public schools for colored
children, is a splendidly conducted
institution.
A Visitor reporter called there this
morning and as struck with the dis
cipline and order that prevailed and
with the general vx elleure of the
M.liool work. The s hool needs an
other I'liildin:: badly, although an ad-
litionhas already been made.
As at the Washington school, colored
children, 1 th m ile and female, are
a linitted and there are uow 325 chil
dren enrolled. This number will be
f. really increased during the spring
t'lin. The ages of the students run
from 5 to 17 years. Besides the
principal. ('. N. Hunter, and his assist
ant, Mrs. A. P. Martin, there are three
teachers, Miss Nichols, Miss Love and
Miss Mciarv. There are now fouri
recitation rooms, two of which upenj
on the assembly room in which the
furthest advanced studeuts sit. The
other two rooms are given up to the
primary department which is so large
that the day is divided, half coming
to school iu the morning and half in
the afternoon, In this department
as in the primary department at the
white schools, the little studeuts are
taught to read and spell by the sound
method.
The reporter saw a class of, begii-
n-jrs, about 0 and o years old, .'-recite
and it it is wonderful how the little
ones make progress. They did fully
as well as the white children and,
considering the advantages they have
had, their recitation was truly won
derful.
The same "system" that was
started by Prof. Moses and that has
placed Raleigh's public schools on
such a high plane, is in vogue here.
The siudonts at the Garfield after
having advanced as far as the 5th
grade, according to the old system,
are transferred to the larger Wash
ington school.
CHINESE W'lIllTHI).
They are Thrown into a Panic
by Japanese Victories.
LoXDoJf, Nov. 6. A dispatch from
Shanghai says the Chinese army has
been thrown into a panic by the Jap
anese victories and is still fleeing.
The Chinese troops in Manchuria are
robbing the natives and committing
horrible atrocities wherever they go.
The Japanese, on the other hand, are
treating the Chinese well and are,
i onsequently, received with open arms.
ly the natives, who are furnishing
them with supplies of various kinds.
Viceroy Li Hung Chang has been
ordered to Ptkin. Prince Kung an
nounces that China cannot withstand
the Japanese; that she is whipped,
and calls on the nations of the world
to intervene and arrange for peace.
China withdraws all claim to Corea
and offers to pay Japan' an indemnity.
She will do anything to stop the war.
The fact is that Pekin, the great
capital of jChina, would have been
captured iu a few days. The Japanese
have seized the important strategic
port of Kiehow, near New Chang, and
on a railroad leading in one direction
towards -Tien-Tain' and in other to
ward the Manchurian capital, Mount
den. The latter is thus threatened
from two side?, as the Japanese forces
which . t rossed the Yalu river from
Korea are advancing rapidly from the
southwest upon the doomed capital,
and another force has gone northward
from Kin Chow to joiu them. The
distance from Kin Chow' to Tieo-Tsin
is only about two hundred miles and
the roads are best in China. Tain is
well fortified but the Japs would have
taken it and the wayto Pekin would
be open to' them.
The many friends of Mr. Thomas R.
Jernigan will be extremely pleased to
learn , that his course of action at
Shanghai as consul general .has been
so just and acceptable that he has re
ceived congratulations from the Chi
nese government for it, and that he
has also been specially complimented
in a dispatch from United States min
ister Denby to the department of
state. Mr. Jernigan is making a fine
record at a critical and trying time.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Yard Engine Runs Over and
Terribly Mangles Mr. D. Jones
at the Johnson Street
Station.
Mr. D. Jones, a Hagiuan on the Ral
eigh and Augusta railroad, was horri
bly mangled and almost instantly
killed by a yard engine ar Johnson
street station this morning. The ac
cident occurred just below the cross
ing and was simply a terrible mistake;
no one being to blame.
The unfortunate young man was
preparing to go on his run and had
started across the track to his shanty
with a bucket of water. A shifting en
gioe was rapidly approachingand Mr.
Jones stepped directly in front of it.
The engineer saw him and reversed
his engine but it was impossible to
avert the catastrophe, the two drivers
passing over the body before the en
gine -nould be stopped. A crowd
quickly gathered and soon extricated
Mr. Jones from beneath the engine.
The wheels had passed over his abdo
men and after a gasp or so the ill
fated man died. So horribly mangled
was he that his body was entirely sev
ered. Mr. Jones was a popular man
and much sympathy is expressed for
his father and brother, both of whom
live here. He was about 25 year old
and was married. The emains will
be taken o New Hill this afternoon
where the burial will take place to
morrow.
