.DONNELLY GOES OUT
OF CLASS ON SKATES
Former Southern Champion viii
Compete in Distance Event
Against Whiting Christmas.

Roller-sitating races at the Central
Coliseum have attracted so much at
tention from the votaries Of the sport
since Carroll Donnelly. former South
ern champion, has been meeting all
Corners this week. that Manager Whit
ing has decided to take the lad out OF
his class as a special Christmas feature
and race him In a distance event, there
by giving challengers better oppor-
tunity to win.
Donnelly Is q sterling little skater.
and has created an impression this
week, but his experiences lies only in
short distance events. He is essentially
a sprinter, and his training has been
entirely along those lines. However.
Christmas night he is going to compete
against Willie whiting in a three-mile
event. and the followers of the sport
are at wits ends to pick a winner.
Whiting is as good distance skater as
there Is in this section. and whether or
not Donnelly can go the distance slowly
and use his sprinting ability, say in the
last mile, is a question.
Donnelly Is still meeting all corners
and viii he at the rink TONIGHT to take
on any bidders" Last night Donnelly
outskated Reilly and Lowey, the two
latter having competed as a relay team.

Wanted to Remove Bone in Lea.

After suffering for years with a
running sore on the leg a lady in
Hartford, Connecticut, was inform
ed that the only cure was to remove
eight inches of bone. She refused
and used Aliens Ulcerine Salve in
stead and it cured the sore complete
ly. Name and address on applica-
tion.)
Aliens UIcerine Salve is one of
the oldest remedies in America and
since 1869 has been known as the
only salve powerful enough to reach
chronic ulcers and old sores Of long
standing. Because it is so powerful
it often heals burns and scalds with
out a scar in remarkably short time.
Aliens Ulcerine Salve heals from
the bottom up and draws out the
poisons. If applied on new cuts and
sores it heals in one-third the time
that common salves and liniments
take. Sold by E T. Whitehead Co.,
and other leading druggists.

BY WHAT AUTHORITY?

We cannot see what right the
County Commissioners will have to
donate five thousand dollars to the
new school at Halifax. The law ex-
pressly forbids the expenditure of
any money by the county solons ex-
cept for necessary expenses of the
county. If five thousand dollars is
to be donated the tax payers Of
Halifax county should do the do
mating.
We are heartily in favor Of the
school, but we are not in favor Of TAX
ing funds from the pockets OF; the tax
payers Of this county and handing it
over without their approval. Our
County Commissioners have as much
right to give five thousand dollars to
Shaw University at Raleigh as they
have to give to a school at Halifax
without vote Of the people.
With all their astute lawyers in
and around Halifax we are indeed
surprised that solicitors for this fund
have not been advised Of their vast
ed energy before this. If every
man, woman and child in this coun-
ty signs the petition for the donation
OF this reasonable sum, this will not
validity the action Of the board in
the event they make the donation.
We are thoroughly confident that
if this proposition were submitted
to vote Of the people, that it would
be carried almost unanimously.
Let's get the five thousand, but
let's get it by due process Of the
law.

TAKES 20 MEN TO SAVE DOG
Dynamite, Too, Used to Rescue A:1i-
ma! From Gave Into Which He
Had Fallen.

Newton, n. Ut took 20 men and
blast of dynamite to free Bob, a fog
hound, from a cave near here. The
dog, owned by Robert Washer, got
into the cave through a small crevice
while fox hunting with his master.
Then he couldn't get out.
Washer worked at the mouth Of the
cave all afternoon, but couldn't open
the way for the animal to get out. The
next day he tried dynamite, as large
a charge as he dared to use without
erdangering the dogs life, but the
blast only lcosed some Of the stones ct
the mouth Of the crevice. The follow
ing day, however, q score Of workers
brought crowbars to bear on the rocks
and pried them far enough apart to
free Bob from his three days impris-
onment.

LET'S HAVF A Change.

The time is drawing near for the
town election. Little discussion
thus far is heard Of the candidates
for the various town officers. Ac-
cocdlng to rumor two Of TIE present
town commissioners are not going
to offer themselves for reelection.
Whoever these two sre, hurrah for
them! If there are four such reti-
cent ones, hurrah for the four!
We haven't learned the attitude
of the chief of police as to his run
ming again. We do hear, however,
that Mr.. ]. L. Dunn, of rural Scot
land Neck, is seeking the job Of
chief Of police. We believe Mr..
Dunn would make a good guardian
of the law. We believe that those
who are wont to look lightly upon
our present laws would view them
from different aspect if our chief
of police had their respect. People
who do not respect are 10th to obey.
Take the blue law, for instance, few
respected this law, and few obeyed
it. Respect conduces obedience.
Laws are no stronger than those
who enforce them. The police pro
lection that we are enjoying
rather paying taxes for-is farcica
in the extreme. We should have
two men on the regular police force
of this town. We also need boare
of commissioners whose duty will b.
to see to the enforcement Of laws.

on the prospects of the cotton mill

Portland German societies refused
to join in with the rest of the citi-
zens of that city in the Americaniza-
tion day exercises on Mnoday. They
took offense at the idea of being ask
ed to renew" their allegience to I'm
Gle Sam; they had once declared
themselves American citizens, and
was this not enough? However these
good people may view this matter, it
is now mighty good time for every
citizen of this country, whether ma
tive or foreign-born, to renew his
allegiance to the flag of this country
and receive lessons in loyalty to
American ideals and institutions. As
we view it we are all Americans, re-
gardless of conditions surrounding
our birth and no citizen should take
offense in being asked to join with
his fellows in these patriotic demon
strations. A retrospective view of
the government of the United Stats
reveals the fact that this government
was formed by so-called foreign-born
citizens; people seeking to estab-
liSh a home for those of all nations
who wished to be freed from the tyr
amy and oppression of foreign kings
and potentates. and it is still the
great refuge for this class of people,
all of whom are welcomed to our
shores and made to feel that they
are part and parcel of this great
country. All that is asked of them
is that they become really and truly
American and loyal to the country of
their adoption. And while the Uni
ted States is at peace with all the
world at the present, she nevertheless
has great battle to perform in re-
naming neutral to the great nations
at war, and this requires that the
fires of true patriotism be kept burn
ing brightly. Let us remember we
are all Americans now.
