Of the millions of people, who today suffer
from nervous or heart weakness, large per-
centage trace the cause directly to deadly
LaGrippe. 1t is germ disease, and makes
q direct attack upon the nerves, putting an
extra strain upon them at the time their vital
ity is at the lowest ebb. If LaGrippe has
left you with shattered nervous system, with
loss of appetite, lack of energy, insomnia,
frequent headaches and morbid tendencies,
you should strengthen the weakened nerves
with Dr. Miles Nervine. 1t will undo all
that grip has done, bring back appetite, rest
and restore the nerves to their normal activity.
II want to write this testimonial for the
benefit of those who have suffered from that
dreaded disease-LaGrippe. suffered sew
eral weeks with il, and nothing Itried seemed
to benefit me in any way, shape or form Il
suffered almost death) and finally my
daughter recommended DR.. Miles Nervlne
to me and can Faithfully say from the first
day felt better than in weeks. 1t gave me
relief, built up my shattered nerves and gave
me splendid appetite. l cannot speak too
highly of it and want to say, each and every
one who has suffered from LaGrippe will
find instant relief by getting a bottle Of DR..
Miles Nervine. Insist on having it and take
no other.N 1t is simply splendid. Hoping
this will benefit some poor sufferer remain"

"Blue Back" Spelling Match.

The second spelling match between
the pupils OF the two academies was
held at the male academy Thursday
night The words were taken from
Webster's "blue back, !" commencing on
page 70. It had been made known two
months ago in the female academy how
many pages would be used-fifty-com.
mencing on page 70, and all who pro-
posed to engage in the contest had had
good time for study.
A good audience assembled to wit
ness the contest and a keen interest
was felt by all. On the rostrum were
twelve spoilers from the male school
and twelve from the female school.
The words we're given out by Prof.
Bagley, of the female school, and Prof.
Bethea, of the male school, in turns OF
five pages each.
When the first word was given out
each side looked confident OF success,
and several rounds were given before
any one went down. The first word
was missed ON the girls side and when
the first girl broke from the column
feelings of hope on the one side and
fear on the other moved the spoilers to
a new determination for success. Soon,
however, a boy went down and then
each side held their own pretty we'll
for awhile. Then another boy went
down, and soon the second girl and then
the third. Then both sides stood stub
bornly in the contest.
Soon the fourth girl went down and
then the third boy. The contest SEEM
ed about even all through. Finally
all the boys went down but one. He
held the ground against two remaining
girls.
Words from the "tions" and other
long columns in the glorious old "blue
back" were hurled at sthem in rapid
succe ssion. Finally the last but one
went down and there was lett lone
defender on either side. The contest
did not last long with these two, Tor
soon the last slip came and the lone
boy had to pass down for his final blum
der and left the field to the one girl
who had so bravely disputed the rights
of the boys to the palms of victory.
The contest was close and each eide
stood we'll against the other. " hen
the last boy went down the exuitation
of the girls was jolly indeed, and all
went away in good feeling

Mr.. Chas. T. Lawrence died at his
home on Church street in Scotland
Neck, Tuesday, April 81, at o'clock,
2. N.
He was born March 81, 1856. and SO
had just passed his 4Sth birthday.
On December IL, 1878, he was hap
PLY married to Miss Annie Camp,
which marriage was blessed with seven
children, all of whom survive but one
who died at an early age.
OF the three sons and three daugh-
ters who survive, the youngest is a
son about four years old.
About five weeks ago Mr.. Lawrence
was taken suddenly i'll with some affec-
ton which a: one time seemed some
thing like appendicitis. From time
to time he alternately seemed better
and worse, but continued to grow
weaker until the end. The best of med
ical attention was given him but his
case YVES stubborn and produced great
weakness from the first.
He had lived in this community sall
his life and was one Of the best known
citizens OF the county. He was good
and successful farmer and his life has
been one OF diligent perseverance in
his WORK.
Many years ago be became a mem
Der of the Baptist church of this place
and was liberal supporter Of the
church and a strict adherent to its
faith until death. OF high-toned
Christian character, social and sympa-
thetic, the number of his friends
equalled the number of his acquaint-
ances. Seldom has this community
been touched SO universally by the
death OF citizen. The friend of all
aid all being his friend, there has set
tied a gloom of sadness over every home
in the community by reason OF his
death. Cut down in the full years of
a strong manhood when SO much
needed for the guidance and stay OF
his children, his death seems mysteri-
Gus and its significance is far too deep
for the finite mind. To God, and tC
God alone are known the secrets o.
the counsels of Heaven; and so wife
and children and loved ones and friends
haye only to look up to the Glver OF all
good and suhm,ssively cay, Thy will
be done.
The deepest sympathy OF the entire
community goes out to the loving and
faithful wife who personally ministered
to every want of her noble and true
companion, and to the children in
this hour OF darkness.
In the presence OF large concourse
OF people the remains were inferred in
the Baptist cemetery Wednesday after
noon, Rev. M. L. Kesler conducting
the services.
A most excellent citizen has passed
from the activities Of lie; noble and
devoted husband has gone to reap the

SCHOOLS AND LIGHTS.
Scotland Neck Votes for Graded Schools
and Electric Lights.

ursuant to an act passed by the
General Assembly an election was held
in Scotland Neck Tuesday, April 2lst,
to decide the question as to whether or
not the town should issue bonds tor
graded schools and electric lights.
From the time the question first
came up two years ago the contest has
been sharp. Some weeks ago prima-
ry was held which gave good MAORI
ty in favor of the movement, and act
ing on that majority advocates of the
measure had bill introduced in the
Legislature providing for the election
which was held Tuesday.
The vote on the question Tuesday
stood as follows:
Registered voters in the town 2l7.
Votes cast for schools 1872.
Votes cast against schools 40.
Votes cast for lights 1913.
Votes cast against lights So.
This gave majority of the votes
cast IS tor schools and Is for lights.
There were SO registered voters, how
ever, who did not vote at all, and the
election being held on basis of regis
tered voters and not of the votes cast,
the IS registered voters who did not
vote counted against schools and lights.
This gave the majority for schools AZ
and the majority for lights 80.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.

When we speak Of a powerful
individuality; of the strength of
the Ego, or the prevalence of
Selfishness, we are apt to forget
that there are in reality two in
dividuals, two Egos and two
selves sheltered with each of us.
We easily recognize the duality
of our members, and are CRATE
full to the left eye both for our
enlarged vision, and for acting
as an understudy, even if we dis
pense with its services when we
would aim correctly or judge
with exactneSS.
We make the acquaintance of
our double brain at school, and,
to the end of our days, accept its
existence on faith. Sometimes
vision from the domain of our
sub consciousness startles US
we are at new place, and sud
denly fancy we have been there
before, or there comes over us
the creepy suggestion of prior
state of being, or we struggle to
recall some eerie dream music.
At such times we are inclined to
wonder if partnership in our
nervous system has been temp
orarily dissolved, and the senior
member retired as silent part
ner, whilst the junior rashly dis
closes some of the secrets of our
prison house.
Similarly do we forget the du.
ality of our moral nature. We
are perfectly willing to admit
that there may be heights in man
that reach to highest heaven. and
depths that touch the deepest
hell: but we are slow to acknowl-
edge that he who flies highest
can also dive lowest. We read
Dr.. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as a
gruesome story fascinatingly told
rather than as an allegory illus.
ltrating a most profound truth.

Draw your chair beside me, partner,
Let me clasp your hand once more,
Soon the night will hide me, partner,
Death is waiting by the door;
And 1 seem to hear the echoes
OF the far-of, distant pick,
Like some sexton-diggIng-dig
God 1t almost makes me sick
All the day lay here thinking
Dreaming OF the days gone by,
When with pick and pan we wandered
Through the mountains-you and L;
And the years came back before me-
Slowly-like funeral train
While the wings OF memory bore me
Ger the hills and barren plain
From the old Rogue River canyons
Down to Siskyou-baek again
Through the grand Sierra's shadows
Ger the Rockies--white as then
Turning lastly, to the northward
And the prairies far below,
Where, beneath the Winters mantle,
Lay the hills of Idaho.

Since those good old early days
When we fought the red skinned BannoclSs
And the dev'lish Nez Perces .*--
Since with pick and pan we wandered
In our quest of yellow gold
All, how little then we pondered
On the sorrows of the old
Little did we dream that Fortune
Was dame of fieeting wing,
For each vein gave up It's pocket
And each day its wealth would bring;
But the gold we then discovered
Now has filed some others purse
You are old and crippled, partner,
I am waiting for the hearse
And guess the world won't need us.
Few will waste their precious tears;
Hoary hairs and empty pockets
Don't go well for pioneers
But somehow I'm feeling better
Since you came TO see me, Joe,
For it seems TO take me backward
To the hills of Idaho.
Partner, I can see in memory
All the plains that we nave crossed
All the hills we climbed together
All the gold we found and lost;
way mp there is Boise Basin,
Down below, the sage-brush plain
Joe, If I could only die there
Death would not hold half its pain
There's red-slsin in the bushes
Hark hear mis- arrows whiz -
Someplace, too, his fire is burning
God can't tell where it is
But the signal-arrow, yonder,
Streaks the moonless, midnight sky
And the crouching, paint ed devils
All around our cabin lie
Ha hear their oars a-dripping-
Nearer draws the black canoe.
There's red-skinned fiend a-crawling
In the bushes-back- of-you =

But beyond the dark old river
