Bull DING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION.

There is just being launched by
citizens interested in building up the
town move to organize a local
building and loan association. This
is a move in the right direction, and
should receive the hearty support
and cooperation of every one who
has the coed Of the community at
heart. Charlotte is q notable eX-
ample of town built by institutions
of this kind, and our town will begin
to show the benefits just as soon as
the association is we'll under way.
1t is the easiest method to save. and
an opportunity for most any one to
own their home. We hope TO have
in our next issue an article going
more into detail regarding this. H.
terest your self and use your effort
to interest others.

The Coed Reads HeeiiEg.

The good roads meeting at Hall
fax Monday was not as largely at
tended as we would like to have seen,
vet there was some interest and en-
thusiasm shown and the organiza-
ton was continued.
President j. L. Patterson and
secretary-treasurer Chas. J. Shields
made their annual reports, which
were very satisfactory.
The officers were reelected as fol-
lows:
President-J. l.. Patterson.
Vice-President-Geo. c. Green.
Secre tary-Treasurer-Charles J.
Shields.
The Association decided to reduce
the board Of directors to five, con-
sisting of three officers and Judge
w. T. Clement and Sheriff J. A.
House.
Let all who are really in favor of
good roads rally to the support OF
the Good Roads Association, for this
is the best way to agitate the ques-
ton and get the people to think and
act for better road improvement.
The annual dues TO the association
is only one dollar and you will re-
ceive a copy Of the Good Roads Mag
azine for one year. Send your name
and dues to Chas. J. Shields, Scot

We say all praise to our Board Of
town Commissioners this week. At
a regular meeting Of the Board held
in the Mayors office Friday night,
18th. inst, they passed the following
ordinance:
1T shall be unlawfu! for any ner-
chant or dealer to keep open any
place Of business on Sunday or to
sell or otherwise dispose Of, for gain,
cold drinks, cigarretts, tobacco, con-
dictionaries, fruits, fresh meats, or
any merchandise of any description.
Any person violating this ordinance
shall, upon conviction. be fined ten
dollars for each and every offence.
Provided that this ordinance
shall not apply to the sale Of drugs
or to the sale of meals at hotels and
restaurants. Provided further that
this ordinance shall be in effect on
and after March, 18th, 1912"
As vii, be seen from the above
our town Commissioners have put a
ban on Sunday selling in Scotland
Neck. We believe this step meets
with the hearty approval Of the law
abiding people of the town.
The Commissioners have done
their part and we commend their
action. Now let the officers, whose
duty it is to enforce the law, see to
it that the very first time the ordi-
nance is violated the party so doing
be brought up and given the full
penalty.

OUTLA VS..

All because one of their number
had been captured, tried and sen
tence was being passed, gang Of
mountain outlaws rode into the
town Of Hillsville, Carroll county.
Virginia, and entered the court
house and without a word of warn
ing shot and killed the judge, sheriff,
solicitor, one juror, a little sixteen
year old girl and wounding the
clerk Of the court and three jurors.
The mob of seventeen men then
held the crowd at bayance until they
reached the street, mounted their
horses and rode to their hiding
places in the mountains. The next
day four of the desperate gang
were captured and the Virginia au-
thorities assisted by officers of the
border line Of North Carolina are
using every means they have to cap
ture the rest of the gang.
This tragedy, awful as it is, teach
es us lesson, and one that we hope
other sections may learn and profit.
The report says that these outlaws
were band Of moonshine men, who.
no doubt, were very timmed to start
with. but gradually grew up to take
the law in their own hands, unmo-
Tested by the law-abiding people of
that section, and went on from bad
to worse, until the tragedy Of last
Thursday was reached.
If the people of Scotland Neck.
Halifax county, or even North
Carolina, allow the laWless element
to 90 on unmolested something aw-
full is sure to happen. 1t is the duty
then of the officers to see that all
laws are enforced. and just at this
point the people have a work to do,
and that is to assist the officers in
every way possible.
Let us then get the lesson from
the Hillsville, Va, tragedy of March
18th, and set about to see that all
laws are enforced.

Dawsons, n. c., March Is We
were glad to see the attendance so

We think it was a very wise selection
in the church to secure the services

Farmers have commenced to break

We were glad to have Mr.. Herbert
Butts with us Sunday.
Mr.. J. B. Partin is juror at Hal.

Mrs. Mamie Weeks school will
close about April 18th, with the
usual exercises, which will be good.
We would be glad il the road ST.
pervisors would repair the road from
Davsons to Scotland Neck so we
farmers could haul our fertilizers.
If there is not something Of the kind
done there will not be very much
hauled this season. Here are two
very good road maxims: The mer-
chant should be interested in good
roads, for he must get the farmer to
town to sell him goods, and taX-ray-
ers should give careful attention to
the selection Of the men who are to
levy the road tax and expend them.
We sincerely hope to see better
roads in the near future.
Rev. Mr.. Brooks, the new preach
er, will fill his first appointment here

there will be a good crowd to greet

MILK FOR BABY.

The dangerous age" for milk
is the time just before it gets sour
enough to betray itself to the
taste. Milk may thus be palatab1e
and harmless to an adult and very
dangerous to an infant.
So see to it that the milk you
use for your baby is fresh, not
more than a day old at least. Get
certified milk if you can and can
afford it. Otherwise get the best
pasteurized milk you can find.
Especial care should be taken in
this matter from this time on
throughout the summer.

''When question is up" says

then argue it in my own mind"
We imagine that these few
words describe Wilson's charac-

isn't his plan a pretty good one
for all of us who haven't such
big thing as the presidency star

to decide our little personal prop.

analysis of facts and conditions.
1t means to htnik before we act.
But most of US pass upon the
small details, which really go to
make up life, without considera-
ton of circumstances or results.
A fellow, maybe person whom
we dearly love, says something
that we do not like and we at
once try to give him worse than
he sent. A business associate
seems to take some advantage of
us and we resolve to clay for him"
ever after. Things go wrong in
our house, and instead of trying
to set them right, we storm and
cuss. Nothing is much truer than
the saying that most of Our trou-
bles never happen. Yet, we for
get that life is pretty much all
contention and that the best way
to contend with things or people
is with calmnesS and sense.
