CUT INITIALS ON LIVE HOGS.
Shocking Cruelties Perpetrated on
Animals In Chicago Stock Yards.

Shocking Cruelties Perpetrated on
Animals In Chicago Stock Yards.
Cruelties which animals at the stock
yards in Chicago are forced to undergo
are to be made the subject of an inyeS
tigation by Hugo Krause, secretary Of
the Anti-cruelty society of that city.
Reports which have been received at
headquarters of the society state that
the most fragrant abuse is the practice
of cutting initials on the back of a live
hog. This is done, according to the re
port by Cripple contractors" who pur-
chase animals disabled in transit.
krause also cites instances of hun
dreds of hogs dying for lack of water,
of live hogs being dumped into scald-
ing tanks and of hogs dressed so rapid
~ that they are chops and sausages
before they are yet dead.

Ionn Drawn Out EIeotions.

No complaint with regard to undue
limitation of polling time was possible
in the old parliamentary days. The
danger was that polling might be pro-
longed for Il fortnight or a month
Drastic action to bring the poll to a
close once provoked a riot in the West
minister division of London. At the
general election that began on April
%. 1741, the two Westminster minis
terial candidates were on the fifth day
of polling we'll ahead. but an Opposi
ton party of electors approaching the
hustings in great force, the high bailiff
(who favored the ministerialists) de-
clared that he feared a riot and closed
the poll. The batfled voters riOted and
the military We're called out. The high
bailiff had afterward to apologize on
his knees to the speaker and pay q
heavy fine.

The fact that so many hundreds

After reading our article last
week in reference to the proposed
work on Roanoke river, Col. A. L.

sona letter which we take the liber-
tv to publish. Col. Smith shows
clearly what he thinks Of the dyking
and draining of this land. He says:

Mr.. J. c.. Hardy, Editor,
Scotland Neck, N. G.
Dear Sir
The attached is an editorial IN
your this weeks issue Of The Com
monwealth which has made deep
impression on my mind. | saw this
same proposition in the Observer
some DAYS ago, and thought we'll OF
it: in fact have advocated the prop
er dyking of the Roanoke river for
the past thirty years. If the State
farm was properly, dyked they
would have the most valuable farm
in Eastern Carolina and one Of the
most valuable in the South.
The proper dyking of the river,
deep wells and good roads will be-
the salvation Of your portion OF
Halifax county. If any one is skep-
teal about what good roads will do
for community. just let him visit
our county and he will be convinced
they are the best asset any county
can have, and with the modern road
machinery you can build sand-clay
roads at less than half Of what ours
cost and get good results, with the
roads must come broad tires and
you will have the problem solved.
| trust the land owners along the
route you specify will take hold Of
this proposition, and | will author
ize you to put me down for one who
will go into the enterprise
Yours very truly.

On Friday afternoon, March 18th,
Miss Hattie Leggett entertained the
Scissors Club in most unique way.
The home was attractively decorat-
ed in green, giving the guests a hint
Of the St. Patrick's day idea, which
was carried out during the after
noon.
In a short while the guests were
given pink and white ribbons, hand
painted in shamrock leaves, from
which dainty rachets were made. A
delightful salad course was served,
in the midst of which telegram was
brought to Miss Anna Kitchin. On
reading this it was found to be the
announcement of the engagement Of
Miss Kathleen Tillery to MIR. j. {.
Kelly, the marriage to take place
May Dist. A shower Of good wishes
followed at once. Little Miss Mary
Hayes Mcdowell then entered bear
ing green basket filled with Irish
favors, bunch of beautiful carna-
tons being the favor for Miss Til
lery. Another attractive feature
was the cream served in cups on
large shamrock leaf with delicious
heart shaped cakes. Later coffee
was served and toasts were given
Miss Tillery to which she responded
in her own charming manner.
Just before the guests left the
rachets were given to the three
brides-to-be, Miss Tillery, Miss Mil
dred Alexander of Norfolk, whose
marriage to Mr.. Freeman takes
place in April, and Miss Sallie Dunn,
whose marriage to Captain Elmore
takes place in April.
Miss Tillery is one Of the most
popular Of Scotland Neck's young
women. Her natural charm and
culture make her favorite and her
departure to new home will be re-
GREETED by the whole community,
especially by the members of the
Scissors Club. Mr.. Kelly is a pros
porous young business man of Roa-
noke Rapids, closely connected with
the large manufacturing enterprises
there. He is man Of upright life
and sterling worth and has numbers
of friends wherever he goes.

Fraud Paint.

The worst mistake one is likely to
make in painting is wrong paint; it
is easy to make.
We all say Our paint is The best;
and there are 1000 Of US. One is
best; but dozen are SO near on a
level that no-one KIN ows, for sure,
that his is the one.
The worst paints are worst liars;
they know what they are, put-on a
bold face, and brazen it out.
Their one true argument is low
price; but low-price paint is always,
must be, a fraud; it is made to cheat
cheatable people. DEVOE.

frsShet in Roanoke River.

Rosemary, N. c., March lion
the 18th Of this month, one year ago,
we had one Of the largest fleshets
in the Roanoke river that we have
any record of for many years. On
the same date of this month the
river began to rise, and now the
power house at Roanoke Rapids has
shut down and the new Patterson
mill has also has shut down and it
is very uncertain just when the mill
will be able to start up again.
We have holiday somewhat against
our wishes, but it is hoped that the
power house may soon be able to
scarf up and that the work in the
work in the Patterson mill may
move on smoothly.
The Rosemary mill, however
furnishes it's own power, and there
fore is not hindered on account of
the high water.
