Auto Traniit Company Charter. Snow
Still on Ground. Books in State
Library. Left-Wife and
Bills Unpaid.
Raleigh, December 17 City physician
MoOehey reports that ha today dis
charged the last of the email pox pa
tient. At one time some perions feared
there would be an outbreak here, but
the disease waa admirably handled and
never spread at all In fact It wai very
quickly stamped ont. The-e are few
eases in the southern and southeastern
parts of the county, but only one death
has been reported there.
The State grants a Charter to the Wil
son Auto Transit Company, capital
stock 1100,000, to build all torts of ve
hloler, and to operate these on highways
In the State, as carriers both of pasien
gen and freight, W D Toung and oth
er local people are the stockholders. The
purpose of the company Is understood to
bs to operate automobiles In that section
and to have a regular leivlce both In
Wilson and a few other points.
The Joint legislative committee ted ly
concluded the annual examination of
the offlcf s of the Treasurer and Auditor,
finding everything extremely well kept
and paid the officials compliments for
the excellent clerlcaf work. The com
mittee finished late in the afternoon and
made up Its report to the legislature.
Tae snow In this section seems to be
about aa deep as It Is anywhere and prob
ably It will remain aome days. There
are two anow belta.ai they may be called
In North Carolina, one extending from
about Littleton oetond Raleigh and
then into Cnatbam county.lhe other belt
ylng along near ReldiTllle. Snow la
generally deeper at these polnta than
elsewhtri. J L C Bird of Marlon, who
hare today, said only half an Inch of
snow fell tn 'hat section, and added that
when It snowed here It was generally
too eold to anew there.

The lb ire drima In four sets was ad
mirable rendered by borne talent at the
New Masonie Theatre last Friday nig lit,
there being a large audience to greet the
players, the event being largely a loclal
one, the combination making it a moat
enjoyaSle occasion.
Those taking part, gave an excellent
presentation in their several characters,
there being no noticeable pauses or
hitches during the performance. The
stage setting and costumes were appro
priate and made the piece effectlTeln
every detail. It waa the best amateur
play given at the theatre in a long time.
While each character wai so acceptably
rendered, especial mention is due Mrs J
W Duguid who so well portrayed the
character of Marlon Warrington; Mlaa
Isabella Bryan was delightful aa Kate
Oonyers. The Mom. Elsie of Mrs S R
Stret, provoked deterred applaut, Mra
Dsmon's Mrs Warrington was dignified
and well enacted. Mr Bedberry as Gor
don Beverly was manly and courageous
as a soldier and lover, Mi J W Smith's
Jack Warrington showed to advantage
as tbe impulsive lover Mr Brlnson si
Gen Dering was dignified end martial
in hit bearing. The disagreeable
parts of the opposing army were taken
by Messrs Willis and Crapon who made
the most of their characters. Tho col
ored boy, Ned as taken by Mr J 8 Simp
son wss the most cleverly portrayed of
the genus rlars.( y that has been seen here
In many a day.
A pleasurable feature of the onlertain
ment wai the singing cf Mi,. Dewey
and the selection! by the orchestra, con
listing of Mrs Brick, MUs May Kulfoid
andMeiara Hugh Wood, Wl 1 Duffy,
and Roy Marshall.
Tbe play waa glrdn uailei the aus

result of their effort!.
