August 2S.-As nothing has APP
pcarcd in THE TIMES from this Sec
ton of the county for some time,
| decided to give to your readers a
few items.
Crops are from very poor to fairly
good. Most of the fodder on early
corn has been gathered, which is
very sorry. Cotton is beginning to
open and the farmers will soon be-
gin to gather it. The cool nights
arc very much against it, and un-
less very favorable seasons from
now on the crops in this section
will be short.
Since the farmers got through
laying by their crops the young and
the old have been enjoying them
selves III social way such as pic
MICS, etc. The first picnic was at
Mt. Zion church, next came one at
Bethlehem church and the third
one was at Flat Rock church last
Saturday. At all of these picnics
barbccued meats was served and
plenty of it and some to spare.
Everything passed off quietly at
these gatherings. / have not heard
of any man being drunk or dis
turbing these meetings. Let's have
more of them. Give the farmers
ten or twelve cents for their cotton
and you will see happy and con-
tented people, but five or six cents
cotton will bring Encouragement,
murmuring, grumbling, etc. We
love to see the doctors, lawyers,
bankers, merchants, preachers, all
with smiles on their faces, but we
don't see them unless the farmers
are prosperous, so let all the people
unite with the cotton association
and make it grand success, for we
arc all in the boat together, and
hope this boat of prosperity will
continue to float as it has been for
the past two years and may the
people of our dear old southland
prosper as never before.
Rev. II. X. Ezell is conducting a

most charming, interesting and
yet startling, glowing pen picture
of the old time family fireside, in
its pure, sweet affection and train
ing, compared with the utter lack
of all the ties, mother and child
and home surroundings of the pres
cnt day, which makes home the
dearest place on earth. If every
mother and father of this fair land
of ours would read this article they
would surely strive to go back and
forever abandon the present mode
of raising, educating, amusing and
controlling children.

The dispensary advocates, plain

when an order was made allowing
three anti-dispensary names to be
aided as co-defcndants to answer
the rule to show cause why the
doors of the dispcnsary should not
be closed. Since the new defendants
will answer the rule, sharp practice

BANQUET at Night.
TEACHERS ASSEMBLY.
Former Tar Heel to Represent High
Schools and Academies on the
Programme.

One of the most interesting features
of the Teachers Assembly, which
meets in Greensboro, June Is to 10,
will be the address of Prof. w. r..
WEBB ST., of the famous Bellbuckle
Tennessee School. Mr. Webb is a ma
tive of North Carolina, having been
born and reared in Orange county,
and educated at the University of
North Carolina. Mr.. Webb is by
birth and naming one with the high
school and academy men of this State
who have done and are now doing so
much for the educational life of the
commonwealth. He is especially fitted
to speak about high school and acad-
envy problems, and the committee is
fortunate in securing such man to
represent the high school and acad-
envy on the general programme. He
will speak Wednesday morning, the
14th, at 10 o'clock.
Prof Carmichael said last night
that the prospects have been bright
all along for a large meeting, and it
looks now that the most sanguine ex-
pectations of the committee so far as
attendance is concerned, will be not
only realized but far exceeded.

VAUGHAN BROUGHT BACK.
He Will be Given a Hearing Wednes
day or Thursday.

Alpheus Vaughan, the defaulting
manager of the Singer Sewing Machine
Company, who was located a few days
ago at Toledo, Ohio was brought back
to Raleigh Sunday by Policeman j. w
Beasley and confined in the city guard
house.
Vaughan was not given an imme-
diate hearing because of the absence
of the principal prosecuting attorney
Mr.. Frank Spruill, of Louisburg, who
represents the Singer Sewing Machine
Company. City Attorney Walter Wat
son Will also prosecute. Another
cause of the postpOnement of the pre-
liminary trial was the desire of
Vaughan that his brother Mr. <.
Vaughan, of Scotland Neck, should be
here during the hearing.
At the time of his arrest Vaughan
was employed by a large automobile
manufacturing concern, receiving a
salary of $1.75 per day for operating
q drilling press. His salary was to
have been raised the very day follow
ing his arrest.
Vaughan was seen yesterday and his
face exhibited a careWorn expression,
and he seemed to be relieved, that the
long mental tension had ceased. He
has not as yet employed an attorney,
but seems confident that things will
go we'll with him.

Name given by the Postum Co.. Battle

There's a reason and it is this:
Coffee has direct action on the liver
with some people, and causes partial
congestion of that organ preventing
the natural outlet of the secretions
Then follows biliousness, sallow skin
headaches, constipation and finally a
change of the blood corpuscles and
nervous prostration.

Under the foliage of the lofty, oaks
and with the green sward as a carpet
the class exercises of the sixteen
charming young women who are to
graduate this year at Peace were en-

lovely.
Visitors in throngs were present and
the scene was a fascinating one. There
in a semi-circle in chairs were the
lovely graduates and to one side the
other bright girls of Peace, all in
snowy white, the graduates wearing
their class color of heliotrope. The
faculty of the school sat facing the
graduates and between these was

while back of the faculty were the

The exercises began at five o'clock
with a song, the Girls of Peace fol-
lowing which, Miss Gertrude Dills. of
Dillsborough, the class president de-
livered a charming address of well
come, which was greeted with an
plause. Then Miss Marie Long, of
Statesville, introduced each member
of the class, this being done with a
charming sense of humor, and relating
inside facts as to the young ladies,
the delivery showing Miss Longs
ability as an elocutionist.
Miss Minnie Sparrow, of Gastonia,
next told the history of the class in
a clever talk, called 1.-The Autobio-

tory of two members of the class of

thus really telling of the entire class.
