Advice to Parents.
huntsville Eagle.

huntsville Eagle.
When you send your children to
school let them know that they are
to obey the teacher. A school in
which the scholars are not under
obedience to the teacher is a failure.
But do not think that the teacher
can control your children if you lis
ten to every little complaint they
make about the teacher being unjust.
Don't be too sensitive about your
children. 1t is better for a child,
even if the teacher is unjust, to make
it believe and understand that the
teacher must control. Help the
teacher all you can; visit the school
and show that you are interested in
the education of your children.
Everything eat-staple and fancy
groceries, canned goods, cereal foods,
meat, meal, flour, hay, grain, etc, whole
sale or retail at lowest prices.

Mr.. Alex Cheek, while out squirrel
hunting recently, killed one which is
a rare specimen as far as the color OF
its skin is concerned. The back and
sides are red, and legs and under
part of the body white, while the tail
is mixture of brown and white.
The eyes were grayish pink. 1t is
unlike anything we have ever seen in
the squirrel family. Mr.. Cheek saved
the skin. 1t is a pity it could not
have been mounted by some expert

THE KNITTING MILLS
Soon to Commenc. Operations Again
The New Owners Take Charge of
the Rronerfx

soon 10 CommeBc. operations Again
The New Owners Take Charge of
the Property.
The sale of the Seaboard Knitting
Mills to New York parties was an
nounced in these columns some time
ago. 1t was stated at the time that
the purchasers were men of ample
capital to make the enterprise sue
cess and that the mill would be man
aged by men experienced in the mill
business-twO important factors in
the element of success.
Since then the question has several
times been asked when the mills
would begin operation. The GOLD
LEAF is in position now to answer
somewhat definitely. Messrs. P. H.
and E. A. Brown are here getting
things in shape for work and the
mills will be started up just as soon
as it is possible to do so. Mr.. p. H.
Brown will be general manager. He
is an experienced man in the business
and has the unlimited confidence of
those who know him for his integrity,
Judgment and ability. He it was
who organized the company to buy
and operate the mills. Mr.. E. A.
Brown, younger brother, will be
foreman of the finishing depart
ment. He also has had several years
experience in the business and is
skilled and capable in his line of
work. The foreman of the knitting
department will be Mr. A. S. Jessup,
of Utica, N. Y, man thoroughly
qualified for the position. He will
arrive later.
Mr.. p. II. Brown is a native of
Maryland but he has spent most of
his life in New York State. He
comes from Little Falls, N. Y. where
he was connected with one of the
most successful knitting mills in the
Mohawk Valley. Previous to that
he was with the Royal Gem Mills Co.,
at st. townsville.
The name will be changed from the
Seaboard Knitting Mills to the Bal
iron Knitting Co., the name being
derived from an ancient estate in
Scotland from the house of which the
president OF the company is descend
ed. 1t is incorporated under the
laws OF the State of New York. The
capital stock is $50, 900, all paid up,
with privilege of increasing The
men who compose the Company are
we'll known in the financial and bust
ness world and their connection with
the enterprise insures success.
1t is the purpose of the new owners
to add such new machinery as may
be necessary and make the plant
thoroughly modern and up-to-date
one in every respect. There is much
to be done of course before everything
is in readiness to begin work but lis
not expected that operations will be
deferred beyond a few weeks, In the
meantime persons who want work in
the mill should see Mr.. Brown and be
ready to start in when notified.
The GOLD LEAF halls the starting
up again of such an enterprise in our
midst. 1t means much for the com
munity and will give profitable en-
ployment to class of help to whom
the door of opportunity is not open
with equal remunerative wages and
pleasant environment in other lines
of work
We welcome the Messrs. Brown
among us and feel assured that Hen
dersOn is fortunate in having such
people become identified with the in
dustrial and social life of the town.

He Knew How.

Mr.. A. E. Smerdon went to Raleigh
Monday to set up a ten-horse power
kerosene oil engine for Cooper Broth
ers, proprietors of the Raleigh Mar
BILE Works, which had bafied the
skill of the best mechanical talent
there to get the thing going. Need
less to say Mr.. Smerdon had it work
ing perfectly in a short while. 1t
was easy enough if you only knew
how. This engine, which will be used
for dressing marble, is of the same
type as one used by Mr.. Smerdon to
drive his trip hammer, tire shrinking
machine and other machinery of his
coach and blacksmith shops and is
alike simple and economical in oper-
alton.

Letter to R. R. Pinkst0n.

Dear Sir--Let's have little private
talk by ourselves on business; nobody
else, please, read.
You want to know how to do a cheap
job of painting, and have it look good.
Here it is: The cheapest thing there is in
the way of a good-looking job-say
nothing about it's being goods Devoe;
the regular thing in Devoe.
The reason is: Devoe goes further than
anything else. Lead-and-oil is good
looking; don't go so far and costs more.
The other paints are more or less short
in one way Or another; don't go so far
and costs more than Devoe.
Devoe costs least of all; you DOM
mind it's lasting longer, do you? We
can't help it; paint that goes further
lasts longer; we can't help it.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & co.

Genuine NEGRO MinstreIs.

The Rabbits Foot Company,
troupe of genuine negroes, gave Il
performance here under canvas Fri
day night. There are SO people, 6
Of them women, travelling in their
own cars and carrying their own tent
and paraphernalia. They have a
good band and gave first rate
show. The performance was very
enjoyable and well worth the price
of admission, 35 and % cents.
Arthur ("Happy") Howe is head
comedian and his work is of a high
order. In the dueling scene he was
inimitable. He kept the audience in
IL constant roar of laughter by his
quaint sayings and funny antics. D.
Ireland Thomas and Will Golf Ken
ney were very good as were Grace
Jackson and Oracle Williams in their
respective roles. The singing and
dancing was much enjoyed although
the voices were not up to the usual
standard in quality and volume for
which the race is noted. The negro
is a natural musician, a born dancer
and most of them sing well.
A good sized audience witnessed
the performance. Quite a number of
white people attended. Nothing was
said or done to offend any one. Every
thing was decent and orderly and no
similar performance given by any
one anywhere could have been freer
from Objectionable features. The
company was organized in Tampa,
Fla and they have been on the
road four years. Pat Chappell is
manager and Mitchell P. Chappell is
treasurer. They are men of good
sense and good business qualities,
polite, respectful and self-respectinS,
and believe in things being conducted
properly and orderly about them.

Send Your Children to School.

Now that the schools are open
every child of school age ought to be
in school. There are few who cannot
attend. Schools are provided and
at least a rudimentary education is
within the reach of all. On this sub
ject the Newton Enterprise says:
Every parent is duty bound to send his
children to school, The parent and child
each has rights which the other should
respect The child owes the parent ser
vice and and on the farms of thiscountry
the children are noted for rendering that
service faithfully to the advantage of the
parent. On the other hand, in return
for this service, the parent owes his child
food and clothing and all the education
he is able to give him. Every parent is
able to send his children to the public
schools If his finances are such that he
can send them to no higher schools after
completing the public course, then he has
fulfilled his duty. But if he does not give
them full advantage of the public schools
he falls short of his duty. During the
public school terms he has no right to
keep them away. During the other eight
months he has right to their service on
the farm, in the factories, or whatever it
is to his interest to put them at if the
work is honorable. But the man Or
woman who require their children of
tender age to work in factory or else
where when the public school is in session
is stealing their time, and taking from
them that to which he has no right.

the ninth, when Monroes low throw to
first. Win Brooks error at short and L.
Aliens hit sent Perry across the plate

second and only one score needed to win
the chances looked favorable for the
Wheel club in the ninth inning. Catcher
Brooks fitted into the emergency at this
time by taking two high balls that were
dangerously close to wild pitches
Ferriter scored the winning run for the
Y. NJ. G. \. in the tenth inning. when he
hit safely, stole second, and scored
on Win Brooks's clean hit Frost

tenth inning, stole second. reached third
when johnson dropped throw to catch
him, but Monroe, who was not called into
the box until the eighth inning was in
fine fettle at this critical period. and re-
tired Reed, Brasor and Perry on strikes.
Much of the credit Of winning the game
belongs to Monroe in finishing the game
In such fine form, striking out six men

The result might have been different how
ever. had not Brooks given him good
support behind the bat Ferriter was an
all-around factor in the game. doing well
both at bat. in field and on bases Bra

There was lively fusilade of batting on
both sides. but Tucker was premier in

ued at $40 and a clock worth 81 were
stolen. The watch was the property
of Mr.. Martins daughter, Margaret,
and the clock belonged to Margaret's
sister, Helen. Both articles were on
bureaus in different rooms up stairs.
When Miss Helen went to her room at
$50 o'clock her clock was missing, and
a search throughout the house failed
to reveal it. When Miss Margaret
went to her room last night she found
that her watch had disappeared The
girl who is employed in the family
said that during the heavy rain yester-
day forenoon she saw three women on
the piazza. They looked like peddlers
and she supposed they were on the
piazza to get out of the rain. During
that time all the members of the
family were away. Deputy Sheriff F.
w. Mcclure is trying to find the three
women. 1t is known that several wo-
