At the Smile. The Scenic showed last evening to two full houses. The new vaudeville acts seemed to please the houaeand the pictures were up to the usual standard. Walter and Murray won special favor. Their act was new and well executed. One , of the many pleasing features 'Which adds much to the pleasure of an evening's entertain ment nt the Scenic Is the announce ments and picture desciitplons by Mr, Charles Baker." His announcements are complete and enable the audience to gal na proper conception of the pic tures as they are thrown upon the screen. ' ' For Salo. v Thoroughbred white Leghorn, single omb cocks.

A RESORT FOR GENTLENEN O'CONNEL'St Next Door to Post Office. The minibqr of prominent Democrats all over the country who have an nounced their desertion of Bryan and have advised their friends to vote for Toft and Sherman is a matter of grave concern to Mr.' Bryan's managers. In Richmond, Va., always a rock-ribbed citadel of Democracy, a Taft business men's club has been orgc.ulzed, with hundreds of members, and in Baltimore the defections of leading Democrats has become the subject of a dally se rial in the newspapers; These Illus trations are given not because they are exceptional in this campaign, but be cause of their geographical location.' In Chicago a sensation was caused by William Prentiss, who announced Bryan for President and-Deneen In-' stead of Stevenson for Governor. Mr. Prentiss has been a Democratic, lead cr in Chicago for several years. He was Civil Service Commissioner under Mayor Dunne and has several times been Democratic candidate for Judge. In 1808 he was chairman of the Demo cratic State convention. He was for merly an ardent Bryan pnrtlsnn. , In a letter nude public recently Mr Prentiss charges Bryan with betraying his followers aud forsaking the prin- 'tiiles for which he stood prior to the present campaign.; 4 Mr. Prentiss bays:, , ' "Bryan claims' that he is the man to continue und extend .Roosevelt's work, claiming much of it as suggestions of his own. Less than threp months ago J preferred Bryan as Roosevelt's suc- ttssor. He was my party leader, In whom I then bad full confidence.' Kut, as before ludkmed, my faith in Bryan is a relic. Bryan, not the ideal Bryan of the past, but the real Bryan of to day, surrounded by the Macks,' Mur- pbys, MeGrawF, Tagaarts, Sullivan and Joe Bailers et M. of the present day Democratic party, at the best could be but a dlmmd failure." California Dvinorrati for Taft. ; ' John J. Barrett, for ivurs one of the most brilliant orators of the Demo cratic party of California,, h,'1 regis tered this year us a Republican. That registration has given the Democratic managers a shock ouly second to that which they felt when they learned tliht M. F. Tarpey had deserted the shift ing cause of Bryan. , "My rcRlstrntiou speaks for Itself," said Mr. Barrett. . "When asked to state my polities I said I was a Re publican. That tells the tale." Barrett preached Democratic de trlnes from all the stumps of Callfor oia. Reanoaa et a North Carnllnaa. Repardless of past affiliations, sfu dents of affairs, delvcrs and thinkers, are fast lining up for Judiie Taft. A recent example Is that of Silas McBee, editor of the Churchman, of New York. In an Interview he says: "I am a North Curolluan by birth and a lifelong Democrat. I shall vote for Mr. Taft because he bns It In his heart to bring my people of the South back Into ahxolute union with the national life aud to their historic place as a con trolling force In the nation, and to dc which would immortalize him as a statesman. "I shall vote for him because he more nearly represents my ideals of govern ment, of social order and economic pol icy than any living Democrat, or any man before the people to-day, save alone Theodore Roosevelt, who Is the ouly Republican President I have ever voted for. Mr. Taft has administered every trust committed to him by the na tion with an eye single to the nation's good and for the highest Interests of the people that compose the 1181100." J The Boater la Baltimore. Mr. George It. Willis, former presi dent of the Police Board of Baltimore and Democrat of the old school will cast the first Republican vote since he sttalned his majority. Mr. WUIU w'll vote for Taft. "Under no clfcumslanccs coiM I vote for Bryan," said he, "for the reason that I do l-t believe he Is since . and If sincere, Is n.t a good man for Pvs'" d.t t of the tutted Prates." "How do you gauge public senti ment T Mr. Willis wss asked. "Among my clientele I know of no one who will rote for Bryan.

MAR COVE A bill of fare to fill a bear Is what a certain Mr. Bruin has been thinking for several weeks over at Cove. lU has been making nightly excursions down to the Devore place, a location about a half mile beyond the electric light plant, In our llttl sister city, much to the annoyance and the grief of mind of T. J. Ryan, foreman of the plant. Having sat up for several moon light nights watching for the fellow who would never come when wanted, Mr. Ryan decided to set a blind man to look for this Ursug Major. Thereupon he procured a monHtet bear trap and placed It conveniently In the trail of the midnight marauder. Consequently, this morning when he visited the trap ho found his qunrry safely held as a toothsome morsel by the blind man the trap. Ills majesty snowed fight, but was soon dispatched with a rifle. When weighed he tipped the scales at over 300 pounds. Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cola. A. J. Nusbaum, Batesvllle, Ind., writes: "Last year I suffered for three months with, a summer cold so dis tressing that it Interfered with my business. I had many of the symp toms of hajr fever, and a doctor's, pre scription did not reach my case, and t took several medicines which seem ed to only aggravate my case. For tunately 1 Insisted upon having Fo ley's Honey and Tar and it quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley's Honey and Tar with the same success." A. T. Hill, druggist.

Oa Haikell. , Governor Haskell's utter unfit ness for any public position of trust or for association with any man anxious to make an appeal on a moral Issue to the American people has been abundantly shown. As nn American citizen who prizes his Americanism end cltl eenxlilp far above any question of partisanship, I regflrd It as a scandal and disgrace that Gov ernor Haskell should be connect ed with the management of a na tional campaign. . Te Rrxaa. In my Judgment the measures you advocate would be wholly in arwtlve In curing an evil, and ao fur as they had any effect at all would merely throw the entire business of the country into Lope less and utter confusion. I Put Mr. Taft' deeds agslnst your words. I ask that Mr. Taft be Judged by all bis deeds, for he wishes none of them forgotten. I ask that you be Judged both by the words you wish remembered and by the words that seemingly you and your party now desire to have forgotten. '! i t r "I
