II you want to vote In the coming
November election you must pay your
tax before the first OF May.
It behooves every good citizen TO
nav his own tax and sec to it that bis
neighbor does likewise. 1t lssald tn at
the Republicans in the State are max
ing a desperate effort to have every
negro nav his taxes before May, SD that
if they fail to vote at tie Noyemte'
election it will not be because they
have not paid their taxes.
Are Democrats rs much in earnest
about white men paying their taxes
Let every white man in HALIFAX
county see to it that the matter is nc
longer neglected.
Tax collectors say that many seen
slow to pay.
Only a few more days In which tt

TEN YEARS OF PROGRESS IN
NORTH CAROLINA.

News and Observer.
The best evidence of the industrial
possibilities of North Carolina is found
in the progress made during the past
few years. According to the reports
of the Twelfth Census there VAS more
capital employed in one sirgle indus
try in 1909 than there was in all tbs
industries il the State il 1850. Ten
counties now have more money invest
ed in manufacturing enterprises than
tha entire State had ten years ago.
The value OF products IN the tso III
dustries of cotton manufacturing ane
lumber is now greater than that o! al
the manufactured products CT tI.
State in 1890. From 1880 to 1906
the capital invested in manufacturing
increased nearly 49, per cent. and III
value Of manufactured products In
creased l35 per cent.

OLDEST MAN IN THE WORLD.

Wilmington Messenger.
According to annual announcements
from New Brunswick, n. j., the old
negro named Noah Raby Is the oldest
man on this con.snept. He was born
at Edenton, n. c., and has just cele-
brated his 13Oth anniversary. Ii he
is really so old he is in all probability
the oldest being who ever lived on
this continent or who now lives In
the world. A dispatch tells this, bu
we are decidedly sceptical OF his age ::
Raby is blind and toothless, but his
memory still remains clear. He was
born in Edenton, n. c., and the dates
he gives OF past events have been verl'
fed for the years he claims"

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilner's Swamp
Root. the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part
Of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
1t. or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp=ROot is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
