Commendation
From Wilmington

Monthly community meetings at
Newark, if reports are true, are
proving far more successful than
their most ardent advocates believ-
ed they would be. The rooms of
the High School building were too
small to accommodate the crowd
that attended the meeting the other
evening. These gatherings are held
once a month and oftener, we pre-
sumo, if any matter of Importance
came up which required attention.
But too frequent meetings would
cause the interest to lag. The COM
munity meeting offers an oppor-
tunity for citizens to express them
selves concerning public affairs,
and what counts the most in the
progress of a cummunity is the
arousing Of the interest of it's cit
liens.
The community meeting idea
should spread throughout the state.
Every town should have such a
movement as has been so auspic-
iously y started at Newark. In Will
mington the community meeting
has steadily gained ground. In
several of our wards there are asso-
Citations which reflect local views
and there will be more of them
Every ward should have one.
The character Of the govern
ment of a city and the development
of a city depend upon the civic
consciousness of the people, and
there is no better way of stimulat-
ing that consciousness than by
community organizations.

Changes In Par
GELS Post Ruling

Beginning with last Monday, the
United States parcel post will re,
ceive parcels of books and reading
matter to be sent through the mall
at parcel post rates. Previous to
that time books had either to be
sent at the first class rates OF pos
tage or shipped by express.
The amendment setting forth
| this new idea is as follows:
"Section 1856 Postal Laws and
Regulations, edition Of 1913,
amended on December IS, 1873
| On and after March 16, 1914, the
rate of postage on parcels OF books
weighing eight ounces or less shall
be one cent for each two ounces or
fraction thereof. and Oh those
weighing more than eight ounces
the pound rate shown in the table
in paragraph l of this section shall
apply -
An amendment was also made to
allow the shipping of printed mat
ter weighing over four pounds to
be sent by parcel post. These ar
ticles formerly had to be sent as
third class mail under the rates Of
that class Of postage. The amend
nents was made on January 81, and
reads as follows:
"Section 1853: The limit of
weight for miscellaneous printed
matter constituting third class mail,
the rate of postage on which is one
cent for each two ounces or frac-
ton thereof is four pounds. Par
GELS of miscellaneous printed mat
r weighing more than four pounds
but which are within the limit of
weight and size for matter Of the
fourth class, come within that class
and are mailable at the pound rates
of postage prescribed for fourth
class matter in section 456."
Postmaster- General Burleson last
Saturday approved an amendment
to the parcels post regulations un-
der which butter, eggs, fruits, veg
poultry and other articles
in parcels weighing from twenty to
fifty pounds may be shipped in the
first and second zones, in boxes and
crates similar to those handled by
express companies.
The amendment provides that
parcels weighing twenty pounds or
.ess will be handled as heretofore
and must be securely packed in
such manner as to be safely treat
I'd in bags with other NATTER

"IRE CUBAN SPY."
4 Pleasing Entertainment at The Opera
House Tuesday Night.

Those who witnessed the present
alton of ..'The Cuban Spy" at the
opera house Tuesday evening were
highly pleased in every way. When
it was announced two weeks ago
that this splendid war drama would
be presented by local talent under
the management of Mrs. Kate Dunn,
the people of Scotland Neck looked
for something of more than ordin-
ary interest, and they fully realized
their most sanguine- expectations.
The play is full of the most vital in
terest from the rise of the curtain
in the first act until the close.
The thread Of the story is inter-
woven around "Elinora," the Cuban
spy, which was admirably portray
ed by Miss Katherine Kitch:n, who
in her efforts to avenge the death of
her father at the hands of assassins,
becomes a spy in the ranks of the
| Cuban patriots. Miss Kitchin acted
her part to perfection, and her por-
trayal of this character has been
highly complimented.
Richard Carson, an American, was
splendidly rendered by Mr.. Ashby
Dunn, who through his sympathy
for the oppressed Cuban and his
genuine American patriotism, heap
ed upon himself the enmity and
hatred Of the Spanith pirate and
gurilla, who was the assassin of the
father of "Elinora.

WOMEN FIND THIS IS

Many Mothers and Wives Have Learned That
Dodson's Liver Tone is a Fine Remedy
For Constipation

E. T. Whitehead Co. will tell you
that it takes the woman to realize
the merits of a new remedy for con-
stipation and biliousness quickly
and surely, whether it is for them
selves or someone else in their fam
lilies.
There are today a great number
of households in which Dodson's
Live Tone has come to take the place
of dangerous calumet as we'll as all
other remedies for such ailments
and where an atmosphere of health
and happiness now prevails.
Dodson's Liver Tonic is uncondi-
tionaily guaranteed by E.. T. White
head Co.. to be safe liver remedy
and regulator absolutely harmless
and with no bad after,effects such
as are liable with calomef.
Dodson's is a pleasant tasting
vegetable liquid and clears the ach-
ing head and suffering body with no
pain nor gripe.
So perfect a remedy has Dodson' s
Liver Tone proved to be that your
druggist will refund the purchase
price (50c) instantly without ques-
tioning if you are not thoroughly
satisfied. They are authorized to do
so by Dodson, who doesn't want
your money unless his remedy can
benefit you. Under such conditions
a trial would seem the part of wis

A Colonial Ball.

On Monday evening last, most
delightful entertainment was given by
Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. burlington, in
their hospitable residence IN the
Clarksville end Of town.
At the appointed time the guests
arrived arrayed in picturesque
colonial costumes and were met at
the door by Masters Luther and
Phillip burlington with old fash
ioned hospitality and grace.
The doors to the left were thrown
open and displayed the rooms decor
atep with patriotic colors, Mr.. and
Mrs. .Purrington met the guests
there and introduced them to the
guest Of honor, Miss Mary Bosley,
sister of Mrs. Puarington.
A hidden orchestra gave sweet
music to the gay dancers. Many
old fashioned dances added to the
occasion and made it truly colonial
in effect. Minuet and quadrille, old
Virginia reel and lancers were en-
| joyed by all and were prettily led by
Mr.. aud Mrs. Purrington.
After a pleasant evening passed in
dancing and witty conversation the
men were requested to get their
ladye and repair to the dining room
where delicious salad and ice
course was served. After this was
enjoyed very pretty dry toast was
given by Mr.. Stuart Smith, and
Mrs. burlington gave each guest g
favor in the form of silk flag with
a beautiful little poem written by
the hostess.
+ The guests all departed at late
hour and declared they had a most
charming evening. The event wa;
the first of it's kind in Scotland Necl
and was thoroughly enjoyed by
, about fifty guests.
