OUR DEEP WE'LL AGAIN.

More men in Scotland Neck are as
Stunning aldermanic proportions than
perhaps ever before. Those lean, lank
fellows for whom strangers and Others
felt sorry year or two ago have had
to lengthen their gtrths this year, and
instead ct the up-the-country, noun
tain-cove sallowness, their countenances
fairly glow with the bloom and ruddi-
ness of youth.
And some of the ladies who have
heretofore been liberal patrons OF the
patent medicine mon no longer wear
what those very patent medicine adj
vertisements csll ''that tired look" bu
instead 60 bounding about with gaelic
like agility and with swan-like grace.
What has wrought this great change
in a year? The constant and persist
emit drinking of the water from the
deep we'll in Main street. 1t begins to
look like Scotland Neck will become a
rival of other noted health resorts
through the deep we'll which was sunk
In Main street two years ago. The
we'll was sunk in an effort to secure an
overflow, but after going through two
or three hundred feet OF rock and to
the depth Of six hundred feet, the town
authorities became discouraged, for
two reasons First because it seemed
hopeless task in the effort for an over
flow, and secondly, because the towns
bank account would not allow them to
"pour any more money into that hole
In the ground" as some CT the high
klckers spoke Oft.
After all, it may be the best thing
Tor the town that they did fail to get
an overflow and stopped the we'll where
they did. Perhaps water from an over
flow we'll might not have the healthful
and curative properties possessed by
the water obtained from the we'll.
In all earnestness and candor, this is
wonderful water. The physicians have
commenced to prescribe it for indi-
gestion and other disorders, and the
well is the most popular thing in town.
1t outclasses the cool drink fount-
aims and the pump runs almost all the
time. People ara carrying the water
out into the town and country in bot
ties, jugs and runlets. 1t will pay; the
town authorities to put the we'll in
first class order with an easier pump.

MIR. T. NJ. HUFFHAM'S GREAT
ADDRESS.

For the recent annual nesting at
the Thomasvilie Baptist Orphanage
Mr.. E. F. Aydlet, of Elizabeth City,
had been selected to deliver the address
At the last hour he found that he
could not 60, and 80 the choice for a
substitute speaker fell on MIR. T. M.
Human, of Hickory, n. C. He had
only few hours notice and had to
ride In the night to make proper con-
nectlon aud 80 reached the Orphsnage
worn and tired. Notwithstanding all
the disadvantages, be made fine i'm
preston. Mr.N.Biggs who was present
and heard it spoke highly of it.
Mr.. Hufham was once Scotland
Neck boy and the readers of THE CON-
NOM E.LTH will Ee interested In the
following f-om the Hickory Press con-
corning the address:
"Mr. Aydlett, distinguished attor-
ney OF Elizabeth City. was originally
asked to deliver the address but owing
TO illness at the last moment was com
PEELED to decline, and in this dilemma
the most available man was sought
Mr.. Thomas Hufham was teIegraphed
to "a hours in advance OF the time for
the address and with his accustomed
generous and gracious nature he &C.
copied. The limited time precIuded
any extensive preparation, hs was
therefore compelled to 60 and depend
upon the inspiration of the hour and
theme.
"Mr. Hufham was introduced by
Hon. J. G. Scarboro, who for IL years
was superintendent of public instruct
ion for this State. Mr.. Scarboro said ::
L have the pleasure OF introducing to
you man whose family name is ia
miliar in every Baptist home in the
Old North State. The son OF an hon.
ored and distinguished leader of our
church, an orator of power and pathos,
but the gentleman l introduce to you
has not only in herlted in a
liberal degree those distinguished
gifts, but he is a writer of power and
brilliancy, profound scholar and an
able thinker, whose future usefulness
and honor can alone be measured bv
time and opportunity you Will listen
to him with pleasure, you will hear
him with profit
"The subject OF Mr.. Hufbam's dis
course was The Ministry of Children
Those alone who heard those brilliant,
burning words, those grouping of facts,
shading In fancy the full and even
flow OF rhetoric, superb logic. and the
most pleasing and persuasive eloquence
can form faint conception of that
magnificent address. 1t was child life,
held up in it's gentle helpiessness, i'm
maculate Innocence, Its frank, open,
unfettered heart In which to pour the
lime light OF truth. 1t is the lives of
these little waits drifting upon time
tireless tide that must be shaped for
N eternity of purpose at the great Or
phanage at Townsville"
