MER CHANT TECElVES
ANONYMOUS REMITTANCE

Mr.. W. D. Tillery was greatly
mystifed and, we suspect, also
pleased, on receiving an anony-
nous communication from Balti-
more last Wednesday morning
through the mails containing
eighteen dollars in real money.
The currency was sent wrap
ped in two sheets of ordinary
typewriter carbon copy sheets,
on the back of which was print
ed, with pen and ink, II am try
ing to do better, and consisted
of three five and three one dol
lar bills. The envelope was
plain manila and was addressed
in pen and ink in printed letters
to Mr.. Tillery.
Mr.. Tillery says that so many
people have left the town owning
him accounts since he has been
in business that he cannot identi-
fly the sender of the anonymous
remittance from his list of debt
ors. 1t seems that the sender
would have wanted credit for
his remittance if he were paying
him an account, and the most
reasonable hypothesis is that the
sender was returning money he
had wrongfuliy gotten from Mr..
Tillery in some way and did not
care to make a confession.

The Present High Cost Of Drugs
Unparalleled

Consumers of drugs who have
not kept abreast of the times in
sofar as the drug situation is con-
cerned have been very difficult
customers for the drug stores to
handle. They have insisted,
even in the face of convincing
proof, that druggists are waxing
rich, and are taking advantage
of present conditions to boost
prices arbitrarily.
That such is not the case
you can see from the fol-
lowing list showing the increases
in price, comparing the prices of
July 1914, at the time of the
outbreak of the European War,
with the high point reached
since then.

AUTOMATIC SPRINKLERS

The systematic records Of the Ma

prove conclusively the efficiency OF
sprinkler systems. Since 1897, 14,353
fires in springlered risks have been
reported OF these 30 per cent were
put out by one sprinkler; 46.6 per
cent we're put out by not more than
two sprinklers; 73 per cent were put
out by not more than six sprinklers;
84.S per cent were put out by not
more than twelve sprinklers; 4.S per
cent, that is about one in every TWEEN.

sprlnklers and the principal reasons
vera these: water shut off, obsolete
or corroded sprinRiers, parts Of the

tnnfngration exposure, obstruction to
distribution of water, and poor or
hollow construction.

In some of these instances, as
in the case of belladona, the rise
in price is due to the fact that
this drug is largely cultivated in
and exported from Germany and
Austria. In the case of the coal
tar products the reason is found
in the use of many of the basic
substances in the manufacture
of explosives; thus, carbolic acid
is largely used in making the ex-
plosive known as picric acid,
sometimes called lyddite, and all
available stocks are being divert
ed to that use so far as possible
Quinine is so high in price be-
cause so much is used in the
treatment of febrile conditions
arising in troops exposed in the
trenches. Every time pharma-
cist refills an old prescription at
its original price, the chances are
that he is losing money. There
is no class of substances in which
the rise in price has been so little
felt by the consumer and largely
equalized by the taking of small
er profits as in the case of drugs.
This condition, however, cannot
continue indefinitely and drugs
and medicines are bound to rise
much higher in price if the war
continues.

A Splendid Justice.--A
Large Number Of Cases
Disposed Of

The January-Fe February term Of
Halifax Superior Court with
Judge W. P. Stacey, of Will.
mington, presiding, is nearing
the end and it is the opinion OF
members of the bar and the peo.
pie generally that no mistake
was made when Judge Stacey
was placed upon the Superior
Court bench. He is the young
est of all the Superior court
judges, being only 81 years old,
yet in his ruling and knowledge
of the law one would think him
past the half century mark.
A large number of cases both
criminal and civil have been dis
posed of, the majority of the
cases on the State docket being
for violations of the prohibition
laws.
The following are the most i'm
portant cases disposed of on the
State docket:
Hilliard Whitaker and Willie
Pittman - selling liquor. Defend
ant Whitaker pleads guilty, $50
fine and half the cost: judgement
suspended in case of Pittman
upon raymentof costs.
John Nicholson, house break
ing, guilty. A years on county
roads.
Manse Wilkins, larceny, guilty.
l? months on county roads.
Frank Hunter, disorderly con-
duct, defendant pleads guilty. 6
months on the county roads.
Frank Hunter, C. c. W. De-
fendant pleads guilty; 6 months

gins at expiration of the first
sentence.

Delightful Concert Last Sunday

The public of this community
and Rosemary were given a rare
musical treat in the Lyric Opera
House last Sunday afternoon
when the combined orchestras of
both the Lyric and Peoples
Theatres, assisted by the leading
musicians of this town, gave one
of the best musical programs
ever rendered in this section of
the country. These musicians
have willingly donated their ser
vices to these Sunday afternoon
concerts for the benefit and edu-
cation and pleasure of all who
will take advantage Of the treats
thus offered.
The admission is absolutely
free but collections will be taken
up each Sunday, the proceeds of
which are to be devoted to the
various institutions of the town.
Last Sunday the collection was
taken for the Camp Fire Girls
benefit. This is an educational
organization that corresponds to
the Boy Scouts except for the
young girls Of our community
and is under the leadership and
direction of Mrs. H. F. Morton
and Mrs. Leslie Mosher. 1t is a
National Institution and one that
all parents and those interested
in bettering the life and educa-
tion of the young people ought to
be profoundly interested. Next
Sunday the collection will be
taken for the benefit of the Hos.
pital. This splendid insti.
tuition needs no words to prove
its value and usefulness to this
community.
The talent represented in the
concert given last Sunday de.
serves the patronage and appre
citation of every person in thi.
town whether you are a musician
or not. 1t represents years O.
hard work and strenuous effort.
to become accomplished musi
clans and many of us would q
miles to hear a concert and pa,
81 or more admission and ther
not hear as good music as W,
have right here in our own towl
and heard last Sunday. Let u,
prove the old adage That
prophet is never without homo,
except in his own country" i,
behind the times in Roanoke
Rapids, and while we are boost
ing the town itself let us Civ,
honor to those, who by theil
beautiful and inspiring musi,
lift US out of the every day pit
of life to our higher and noble
selves.
The two clarinet solos render
ed by Mr.. Cheek of the People.
Theatre Orchestra were especial
ly appreciated by the audienc,
last Sunday and also the violil
solos of Mr.. Sobota of the Lyri,
Orchestra. They are both mas
ters of their instruments whicl
are probably the most difficul
of all to play. Miss Boyd ant
Mrs. Pat Davis delighted ever!
one with their beautiful solos
Especial thanks should be givel
Mrs. Cherry, Mr.. Young, Mrs
Morton and Miss Boyd for thei
splendid accompaniments upol
the piano upon which all musi
is so dependent.
1t is certainly gratifying tha
we have such talent in our com
munity and we hope the appre
citation shown at these concert
