WAKE FOREST LETTER.:

Correspondence to THE CoMMoNwEALTH.J
WAKE FOREST, N. c., Nov. 8, 1913.
Notwithstanding the shortness of
crops and the constant cry of hard
times the enrolment of Wake Forest
College is 225. There are scores of
young men all over the State that
ought to be at some college. Young
men, wake up on the subject of educa-
ton The faculty say that the college
work is moving On smoothly. We
have a fine set OF boys this session.
The health of the entire student body
has been exceedingly good.
The regular meeting OF the Wake
Forest Scientific Society was held on
the evening of Nov. End. DIR. Hubert
RoYster OF Raleigh gave clear and
learned paper on malaria and its
Causes" It was greatly enjoyed by
all.
Mr.. 4. V. Peed g store was burned on
the night of Nov. End. 1t is thought
that an incendiary did the work. The
alarm was given at 80 o'clock. The
students and citizens did some noble
work, saving almost all OF the general
stock except the groceries, which were
in an clubhouse, where the fire first
originated. The store was insured tor
81, 900.
An intercollegiate debate between
Trinity college and Wake Forest will
be held at Raleigh on the Goth of Nov.
The query is: "Should the system OF
water-works, lighting and street railway
be operated by the city or by private
individuals?" The affirmative of the
question will be represented by three
speakers from Trinity and the negative
will be represented by the following
speakers from Wake Forest Messrs. T.
Neil johnson, A. B. Cannady and
Chas II. Ut1ey.
| DR.. Skinner of Raleigh has donated
| to the Wake Forest library four thou
sand volumes of valuable books on
theology. A special place has been
arranged for them.

"A BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE.
Andrews-Camp.

The announcement was made several
days ago that Miss Viola Camp and
Mr.. George T. Andrews, both of Scot
land Neck, would be married Wednes-
day, Nov. 10th. The beautiful morn
ing was pleasant foreshadowing OF the
happy event, both for the contracting
parties and their friends.
Before the hour appointed for the
marriage, kind friends with skilful
hands and delicate taste had beautiful
ly decorated the Baptist church in
honor of the occasion, and the pulpit
seemed bank of flowers, ferns, palms
and evergreens. Nothing was needed
to make the decorations perfect, both
in selection and arrangement.
A large crowd assembled to witness
the marriage.
At ! 80 O'Clock the deep-toned organ,
under the deft touch of Miss Annie
Blggs, pealed forth the beautiful strains
OF the wedding march, and the bridal
couple entered the church with M A.
Smith and L. M. Pittman as ushers.
The bridal party entered as follows !:
Mr.. Plttman down the right aisle and
Mr.. Smith down the left. Two little
girls in white, Misses Alice Camp,
sister OF the bride, and Catharine Han
cock came slowly down the right
aisle, followed by the bride and
groom who were met at the altar
in front of the beautiful deco
rations by Rev. r. T. Vann, who in
short but Impressive ceremony pro-
nounced them man and wife and they
retired from the altar mo more twain
but one."
At the door congratulations and good
wishes were extended, and the happy
pair hurried away to take the afternoon
train for Norfolk over the Norfolk and
Carolina railroad. They will visit Nor
folk, Old Point and perhaps Baltimore
The bride was beautifully attired and
the groom handsomely dressed and the
marriage was indeed quite pretty in all
its appointments.
The bride Is the beautiful and ac-
complished, and eldest daughter of Mr..
G. A. Camp of this place. She Is we'll
known and greatly beloved for her
lovely character and personal charms.
She has recently taken course In
West Point Female College, West
Point Miss, having returned from her
course in that institution last June.
The groom is one of Scotland Neck's
we'll known and prosperous young mer
chants and enjoys the respect and es-
TEEN of all who know him. He is one
the firm of Camp & Andrews.
THE Commonwealth joins in all the
good wishes and warm congratulations
extended to the happy pair and wishes
them all the joy, comfort and prosper
ity that welded life can afford.
There were numbers of pretty pres
ents, list of which will be given next
week.

VIM The Difference?

EDITOR COMMONWEALTH "A reader
of The COMMONWEALTH would ike to
ask why the municipal powers OF Scot
land Neck consider the sale of cigar
cites twenty times more baneful than
the sale of whiskey7 How can the
town hope to maintain its coveted re-
putatlon for riety and morality when a
man can pay his town license with five
dollars and have enough change left tc
buy two or three gallons OF NEAR

CHIEF CAUSE.


Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder.
was created Tor one purpose, and If not
doctored too much is not liable to
weakness or disease, except IN rare
cases. It is situated back OF and very
close to the bladder, therefore any pain
disease or inconvenience manifested In
the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often by mistake, attributed
to female weakness or womb trouble OF
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be. as easily avoided. To find
out correctly, set your urine for twenty
four hours sedement or settling in
dicates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kid
ney and bladder remedy is soon applied
If you need a medicine you should
have the best. At druggists fifty cents
and one dollar. You may have sam
pie bottle and pamphlet, both sent by
mail, Mention THE COMMONWEALTH
and send your address to Kilmer & Co.,
Binghampton, n. Y. The proprietor
of this paper guarantees the genuine
ness OF this offer.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not Liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way IS from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The Sec
ond way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
