Never was this good old state stir red as it is at present, at least not since the days of the crow bar inci- dent ill the big white building on Bushnell park. Hartford. and it all comes about by the desire of two men to serve this good old commonwealth at Washington. The newspapers Of Hartford are up in arms over the af- fair. lest that city lose what prestige it obtains through having d United States senator who calls Hartford his home. The ex-governor has every Uartfordite for worker. and poor Sam Fessendcn is catching it right and left, particularly on the big fee question. It's a toss up between the two, however, and those who are not directly interested are enjoying the rumpus, although it isn't very credit able to the candidates or to the state. some of the things that are being printed just now.

With the increasing ,isc of timber. preserved in one way or another against decay and fire. if is important tO determine the effect which the pre- serving process has upon the strength of the preserved timber. Many en- .incers believe that creosoted timber k more brittle and less capable or withstanding strains than the same timber before being treated with creo- sotc. This is particularly true with
 bridge timbcrs and piling. Ac- tual tests are Hece>safy to dc terminc what relationship exists be tween the preservative process and
 the strength of the timber. Most of the tests hitherto made with preserved
 timber were made Ly comparing re suits of tests on treated sticks with results on untreatcd sticks. In many
 instances these turned out in favor of the untreatei timber The reason why such tests are unfair Co the pre- servative is that in inc process of preservation two factors enter. The actual process of impreSnation with q preserving substance. and the rrelim- mary processes of steam seasoning. in the majority of treating plants in the United states. \ picce of timber sul- s,-luentIy treated with creo>oie may bc steamed to such an extent that the timber becomes exceedingly brittle
 This. obviously. will be the fault of the steaming and not of the erecsote. Timber preservation divides i'seIf broadly into three stages: First. the preliminary preparation. second the actual preservstive process. snd. third

Banker Clews in his weekly letter says that he thinks the fall of Port Arthur indicates shortening if not an early termination of the war. Rus sian pride may lead her to refuse peace overturcs in the hope of re- deeming lost prestige, but the ulti- mate success of Japan is practically assured. Threatened by revolution at home. weakened and disheartened on the field of battle, Russia's future is dark indeed. Judging by the oncrous conditions of the loan just placed in Berlin her credit is declining in spite of strong support; and both Paris and Berlin show n disposition to close their purse strings to Russia, although good authorities think that Paris would respond to one more call if the Inducements were sufficient Amcri- can interests would he best served by an early termination of the war. 'which can only he continued through the assistance of European bankers. Any resulting trouble in Paris would be quickly reflected in London. where American securities would be among the first sold in order to protect other interests. At present we do not want to export gold or he compelled to buy our own securities. either of which might happen if the war he prolonged too far.

The voting machine had . pretty expensive test in New York and New Jersey at the last election, and. ac- cordinc to reports. it vindicated itselt and secured greater measure of puD- lie approval than it has had the luck to get before. Of the latest success full test of the device the New York Globe says: It has been one of the most difficult problems presented to the inventors and pcrfectors of the machine 10 adapt it for use in prcsi- dentlal elections. The very long bal lot made necessary by the presence of the names of presidential electors has been a serious obstacle 10 overcome, but it has been surmounted success fully as the experience of the late election demonstrates. With this achievement there is no longer any sound objection to be made against the universal adoption of the new method. The arguments in favor of if are unanswerabie and can be ad- vanccd for no other system. It gives an absolute secret ballot, for no trace whatever is left of the action of the ! individual voter. It gives count
 which cannot be disputed, because if
 is mechanically and absolutely exact | The voter can not mar his ballot and | therefore cannot lose it. He is pro
 tccted absolutely against error and
 absolutely against losing his vote by
 having his ballot rejected in the count
 as defective. Disputed returns are l impossible because there are no defec- | tive ballots. There can be no illegal
 ballots because it is impossible for
 anyone to vote otherwise than in le- gal manner There can be no tamper-
 ing with the returns, no altering of l the totals in the count. for they stand
 recorded on the machine and can be seen and copied by watchers Tn every
 polling place where they are exposed
 after the polls are closed. These are
 great qualities. but there are others
 scarcely less valuable. The voting is
 as swift as it is sure. because it is so
 simple as to make confusion of the
 voter, no matter how ignorant he may
 be. nearly or quite impossible. He has
 opportunity 10 study the operation of
 the machine before he enters the
 booth. and can be shown how to op-' i crate it. It is far more easily compre-
 hcndcd than the present blanket bal
 lot, and far more easily worked. Fi-
 nally there is the almost immediate
 announcement of the result The ma
 chine does the counting as the vote | is recorded: there are no ballots to | unfold and sort and count. The total
 for each candidate is recorded in tis.
 urcs which cannot be destroyed.

Dear Sir: Let's have a 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 good-looking job
cay nothing about its being goods
Deyoe the regular thing in Devoe.
The reason is: Devoe goes further
than anything else. Lead-and-oll is
good-looking don't 60 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 don't
mind its lasting longer, do you? We
can't help it paint that goes further
losts longer; We can't help it.
Yours truly

Death CT Mrs. P. G. Rlddlck.

Mrs. P. G. Riddick died in Scotland
Neck Friday night, February u, aged
SO years. Her remains we're inferred
in the Baptist cemetery here Sunday
afternoon, February 26, Revs. G. T.
Lumpkin and G. W. Phelps conduct
Ing the burial exercises, Mr.. Phelps
reading the burial service and Mr..
Lumpkin offering prayer. The pail
bearers were Mess. S. w. Morrlsett,
John Hooker, Joe Gotten, B. F. Gray,
Will Rives and John w. House.
Mrs. Rlddick had been a great suffer
er for years. She had been twice to
the Pittman hospital in Tarboro and
orce to a hospital in Richmond.
She leaves a husband and five chill
dren, the oldest sixteen years and the
youngest five years old.
For some years Mr.. Riddlck had
lived at Tlllery, but the first of this
year he moved to Scotland Neck where
Mrs. Riddick could be near her sister
Mrs. A. M. Riddlck.
A large procession followed the re-
mains to the cemetery Sunday after
noon as token of the high esteem in
which deceased was held and as mark
of sympat ny for the bereaved husband
and other loved ones.
In these dark hours of sore affection
the stricken husband can find the only
real comfort In remembering that oul
times are in the hands Of Him who
doeth all things we'll.

To Our Scotland Neck Del,nquents.

Some OF our Scotland Neck subscrib-
ers have fallen behind in their sub
scriptions and we should be very glad
If they would settle up. It is not con-
venlent for the editor to call on you
tor the dollar or two which you owe
on the paper; so we are sending out
this week statements to some OF our
home subscribers who have failed to
settle up.
Now, if you get one of these state
ments we hope you will take no offense,
Tor we are sending out several dozen of
them, and yours is like the others, ex-
cept you happen to owe little more
or little less than the others.
And If you think that you do not
owe as much as your statement says,
don't buster about it and go to saying
that the editor is wrong in his accounts
with you. Just call at this Office and
if any mistake has been made we shall
be only too glad to correct it.
Now, we hope to hear from these
statements with payment of same at an
early day.
Meantime some who do not owe
quite as much as those to whom we
are sending statements could save us
the trouble of doing SO again by
making settlement before their &C
counts get so large they call for mailed
statements.

Judge Howard Dead.

Judge Howard Dead.
Hon. George. Howard died at his
home in Tarboro Friday ,Febrnary..24
He was more than IS years old and
left an honored name and great and
good influence. He was one of The
leading men of his time, and the whole
State loses much in his death.
The Tarboro Southerner gave an in
terestlng sketch of his life, in which
his public services to the State were
emphasized. Among other things
The Southerner said of Judge How
ard
ellis life was one of sobriety and
blamelessness. He raised up a large
family of sons and daughters, who adj
mire his example and will cherish the
memory of the loving care and kind
ness that he bestowed upon them from
their earliest recollections till the end
came.
"No man eyer had greater faith in
his town and county. During his long
and useful life he acquired large es.
tate, mostly realty. He believed in
the town and he invested in urban
property in the county and be pur.
chased farms.
"But in all these acquisitions, in not
one single instance was any one forced
to the financial wall that he might &C
ouire. With his means he has helped
many to tide over hard times
"In his family he was model. 1r
his church, Presbyterian, he was hon
orable, devout and liberal without the
slightest ostentation. Few men In the
writer's estimation measure up to hi
standard of citizenship in either pri
vate or public life."
