find their way back TO shore. They
went with the current, and after a

they were carried to Hawaii.

Each stamps it's image as the other fiies."
 The evenings past-time was a grand affair and MT. and Mrs. Phillips deserve a great deal of credit for giving the little people of our town an opportunity for a little time. In this day of business and worry, the little people, who will soon take our places in the world, are often neg lected and given less attention than our duty demands. Let us all see the children have more such evenings of pleasure. for there is nothing so stimulating and invigorating as little time spent with our thoughts drawn away from life and all that life means.

E. l.. II a mil on

says, thank God, speedy helI is coming. There is a sound be- ing borne on every breeze that will quickly knock out all of the whimperings that are caused by hungry ,stomachs." It comes from the city of Delapidation that sitteth among the beautiful green frog ponds and the sound is like unto the croakings there of. It also comes in a beauti- fully distinguishing roar from Little Rock but, behold the loud est sound comes from Washing ton city and that is the one that is going to do the most good in quelling the wonderful cry that arises from the great prosperity of the starving poor. These val uable sounds vary in key, only they range from forty octaves below to forty octaves above, but. they mean more salary, more salary, <" and they will get it, and so they should because you know that when anyone wants anything real hard they should have it. Also tbat will effectually close the mouth of the unreasonable laboring man who has the temerity to complain that the crops were short and that when he had satisfied the robbery and extortlon of his landlord and merchant there was nothing left to feed his family. Also that cry will put new joy in the heart and bring gladness to the eyes of his poor over-worked wife who although she expects to go until the crops are sold next fall before she can have calico dress or pair of "stoga" shoes is perfectly radiantly happy and proud to think that our lords and masters are going to get more salary.

A Days Outing.

On last Saturday, the families of Robert McDaniel. M. J, John. son and H. J. Cariker, took the necessaries of life with them for a days outing on White Lake.
 Uncle Sutton was along and caught 19 fine fish. There were AZ captured in all, besides that grinnel which caused H.

THE BIRTHDAY SOCIAL.

On last Tuesday night, the lit. tie children enjoyed the hospital. ity of Miss Cora Phillips on the vacant lot between the Fakes Mercantile Co.'s building and John Phillips store. There is no place in town better suited for such an event and the way the little people enjoyed themselves was enough to cause enjoyment for the older ones. Refreshments were served from start to finish. Plenty of ice-cream and cakes for all and an abundance left over. There were some 75 children pre-. sent, besides some 50 grown peo- pie. The plays of the children, reminded us of years long gone by; but how wildly memory re- calls it all. It'reminds us of what the poet said, ''Lulled in the SC. cret chambers of the brain,

Dispensary in Georgia

1t WOuld be an interesting situation if
and frequently criticised diSpensary 1ys-
tenn which for SO long has been an issue
i'll South Carolina politics. There is, how
ever, a possibility that this will happen
When Gov. Gambler vetoed the bill pro-
posing for Georgia a State d~ispcnsary
patterned after the Tillman plan III South
Carolina, a law was passed providing for
a d~ispensary in Floyd County, and it was
adopted, after a hot fight. The opera
tions of the d~ispensary have been close
ly observed by the advocates and oppOu-
ents of the system, and the former claim
tina the showing will lead to the adop-
ton of a State diSpenSary. The net
profits of the dispensary at Rome, Ga,
the principal city of Floyd county, dur
ing the month of June were $4,000, and
as the profits nave constantly increased
since it was started three months ago,
it is m that the count treasury
will be enriched some $50, 600 by the end
of the year. The taxpayers are very
glad to be relieved of the imposition OF
direct taxes to this amOunt
The operation of the dispensary plan
will be still further observed in order to
test whether it Increases or diminishes
uuency of crime, etc. If from a moral
StandpOint it shows to as good advantage
as from an economic point of view, an
earnest campaign will be made for it's
general adoption.

The Oldest Living Engineer.
(ROanOke NeWs.)

The claim Of being the Oldest living
engineer in service in the world IS MADE
by Mr.. r. H.. Horton, of Raleigh, and
we are satisfied his claim is good. He
is now II years old and served as a loco
motive engineer for fifty-siX years. Mr..
Horton is we'll known to all the older
citizens of Weldon. He ran between
Weldon and Raleigh, on the Raleigh and
Castor Railroad before the consolidation.
He could neither read nor write, yet he
was one of the best engineers on the
road. Always pulled in on time, never
had any accidents. He was remarkable
for his wonderful memory Whenever
there was a change of schedule, all that
table to Mr.. Horton once, and then after
that he could give the best scholars
points as to time and places for arrival
ahd departure of trains. The important
figures were stamped upon his brain, and
there they stood out in bold relief, guild
ing him along the dangerous path of
duty which Shone along the steel rails.
A slip of memory might have proved
fatal at any time, but never once was
Mr.. Horton during his long service known
to make a mistake. Conductors and
road men would question him closely to
see what impression had been made upon
him by change of time tables. They
always found that the old had been
destroyed and that only the new was
stored away in his memory All honor to
such a noble, good old man. May he live
to be a hundred years old and more.
