SUPREME COURT
DEMANDS OPINION

Bismarck. N. D., June 21.-The su-
preme court has rendered an opinion
in the Bismarck election inspector
case that the entire city commission
only has power to appoint inspectors,
and neither one inspector nor the
county commissioners have such pow-
er. This reverses Judge Nuessle who
held that the senior commissioner or
commissioners had the power, as un-
der the old law.

DE RUE MINISTRIES
PLEASES AUDIENCE

De Rue Bros. Ideal Minstrels
who played to a large audience
in the Peoples Theatre on last
Monday night, presented a very
clean and clever performance.
Sp ce does not permit our
mentioning names but the comedy
was unusually good and the sing
ing of the quartette especially,
and the rest of the musical num-
bers in general, very good. Mr..
Denton, soprano and female i'm
personator, we think worthy of
special mention.
Taken as a whole it was one
of the best shows presented at
the Peoples Theatre this year, and
we hape it is the fore-runner Of
Others equally as good. We see
no reason why the public of this
community should not support
the class of entertainments that
come to Weldon and other towns
not as large as Roanoke Rapids.

Dangerous To Sneezs

A sneeze is defined as sudden
and violent election of air through
the nose and mouth by some
convulsive force with an audible
sound. A sneeze is now known
to be all this and more. 1t is fire.
quently a rain shower of tiny
drops of mouth and nose Sc
cretions. 1t is a spray that forces
these secretions for a distance of
several feet in a closed room
with the result that the particles
float around for hours without
becoming diluted or losing their
vitality.
Sneezes used to be considered
unavoidable and perfectly excus-
able, in fact they were rather
enjoyed by the one who sneezed.
Now they are considered jneleg-
ant, dangerous and very inexcus-
able, particularly if not sneezed
into a handkerchief. They use to
be considered signs of taking
cold; now they are signs of CIV
ing colds to others. AS a matter
of fact the sneeze has been ia
booed by all forms of common
decency and is no longer allowed
in heathful society.
To sneeze in a PERSONS face or
even within his presence without
covering it with handkerchief
is now considered more of a crime
than an accident. The reason is
this: Grippe, pneumonia, colds,
tuberculosis and many other
diseases are now known to be
transmitted by nose and mouth
secretions and the sneeze is one
of thier cheif means of spread.
When sprayed out into the air.
especially if in a closed unventi-
lated room or hall, they float a,
round for hours and are breathed
in by some innocent visitor or in
mate person, later perhaps to be
sneezed out again.

Departing From Usual Method

When "Bettina Loveda Soldier"
is exhibited in the regular order
of Bluebird Photoplays at the
Peoples and Rosemary theatre
on Friday, December 8, the policy
of the Bluebird people in boldly
departing from conventional
methods in photoplay exploitation
will be strikingly illustrated and
greatly to the advantage Of the
Shakaspearean theory, now ad-
mitted by Bluebird Photoplays,
Inc, that THE Plays the Thing"
The names of actors or actress
es will no longer be solely ex-
plotted by this particular firm as
a method of attracting public
patronage to theatres where Blue
birds are exhibited. While as a
matter of fact the cast for Bet
tina Loved a Soldier" includes
three camera artists who have
been stars in earlier Bluebirds
Louise Lovely, Francelia Billing.
ton and Rupert Julian the play
itself will be the basis of attrac-
tivness for the film FAM"
Too long has the public in gen.
eral been disappointed in the
star system" too often have
film fans" been attracted to a
theatre by a name" and found,
after sitting through five reels of
so called features" that they
have practically dallied away in
worthless fashion an afternoon
or evening.
Given the play to begin with,
the name or reputation of any
number of players in the cast
means nothing in particular. It's
good pictures" the public wants,
and good plays alone make good
pictures.
The Bluebird purpose is to look
first to the play. AS they intend
to entirely abandon the name
system" they are not cucumber
ed in their judgement by the
necessity to "fit' a high salaried
name" with a play that he or
she is in capable of properly
interpreting.

DEATH SEN
TENCE COMMITTED
W. C Collins, Who Shot AMI Kill
ed c. M. Hawkins, VIII Not
Die In The Electric Chair

w. G. Collins VINO shot and
killed C. NJ. Hawkins a deputy
sheriff in Faucet Township and
one Of the quietest, best hearted
and most inoffensive officers in
Halifax County, will not die in
the electric chair for this otfense,
at least, Governor Craig having
commuteed the death sentence to
life imprisonment,
Governor Craig, with the peti-
tions and lights before him, acted
according to what he believed to
be his sworn duty and while not
questioning his act, it is the opin-
ion of a large number of leading
and influential citizens of Halifax
County that if there ever was a
man who should have been elec-
trocuted that man is w. G. Col
lins, who deliberately and without
provocation killed one Of the best
men in Halifax County, making
desolate a home with a devoted
wife and eight children.
The commutation of the SEN
ence was a great victory for
Collins lawyer, Ashley B. Stain
back, Of this town, who without
reward or hope of reward, stuck
to his client from the moment he
was appointed by the court to
defend him until he achieved a
signal victory by saving his
client from the death chair. -

that tn, price of diamonds
has ADVANCED TWENTY
PER CENT since the Herald's
Contest started and that the
ring he has on exhibition at
his Roanoke Rapids store
could not be duplicated for
$175.O0.

district prizes. Then-.-if you
have backbone as well as
WISHBONE, you will get
out and do a little work and
win a prize.
From now to Christmas

year would make a good
Christmas Present talk that.

Renewed Activity. Clifton Gee,
Gaol Breaker, and W. H. LYDIA,
Accomplice, Halifax-Bound.
A Case Of Cases Comes
to Trial

The Court of Recorder Saun-
ders took on renewed activity
this week, beginning with the
trials of Clifton Gee and W. H.
LYDIA for gaol delivery. Clifton
Gee, it will be recalled, was in
carcerated for some minor otfense
several weeks ago, the said in
generation failing to take, for
when morning and Chief Baird
came upon the scene Clifton had
quietly and unostentatiously
journeyed hence. Chief Baird
learned several days ago that
his friend was in Henderson and
by the cooperation of the Hen
derson police department Clifton
was apprehended and brought
back here for trial. On his return
he readily implicated W. H. LYDIA,
an employee of the Roanoke
Mills, in the aforesaid gaol de-
livery, and Recorder Saunders
sent them both to Halifax In
order that their efforts to free
themselves from durance vile
might find a building worthy of
their steel.
Mrs. Julia Baldwin, Misses
Florence and Marie Case,
Messers. y. P. and Jim Case
appeared in the Recorders Court
on Thursday night charged with
indulging in a rather extensive
family fight. The evidence pre-
sented was rather poor and in
conclusive. A fine of $1.00 and
costs was placed upon Mrs Julia
Baldwin and Mr.. Jim Case and
an admonition to lead a more
harmonious life was served to
all.

Seals Go On Sale After Thanks
giving

According to DR.. l.. B. McBray-
er, executive secretary of the
Red Cross Commission of this
State, every town in the State is
expected to have Red Cross
Christmas Seals on sale the day
after Thanksgiving. He says he
does not believe that there is a
town in the State, regardless of
its size, that has not some man
or woman in it interested enough
to put the seals on sale and act
as manager and it's just this
man or woman he wants to hear
from. 1t has been the smaller
towns, he says, for the past two
years that have won the pennants
and prizes for the largest per
capita sale of seals, even as was
the case last year in our own
State. Clarkton, with an esti-
mated population of only 276,
sold 1850 seals which was a per
capital sale of 10.327.
A man or a woman or a club
in every town in the State, pre-
ferably a woman or a club, +"
says DIR. McBrayer, is what we
need to increase the sales of Red
Cross Christmas Seals this year
over last year. We want every
North Carolinian to have at least
an opportunity to buy Red Cross
Christmas seals this season, not
so much for their money value,
as great as we need that, but fer
the value of the message which
the seal carries. We consider
the Red Cross movement proba-
bly, the greatest educational cam
pagn that has ever been conduct
ed against tuberculosis. "
One and one half million seals
were ordered for distribution in
North Carolina and, according to
DR.. McBrayer, the prospects arc
bright for the States largest
sale. Large orders are being
filled daily and many towns that
have never before sold seals
have already placed their orders.

The Story of Pimples

The story ofpimples and how
not to have them is a short one
to relate, but to put into practice
and accomplish results, it is quite
another story II is difficult, first,
because people who have pimpIes
want to get rid Of them without
paying the price or removing the
cause. They want to get some.
thing for nothing and would
spend sums Of money to have
them removed with'nasty redi-
cine if it were possible, rather
than go sboat 1t IN The only nat
ura and possible way.
Another reason why it is diff
cult for most people to remove
pimples is that it demands a
change Of not a few of their liv-
ing habits TIE eating Of candies,
meats, and heavy foods without
drinking sufficient water and TAX
ing plenty of exercise. In other
words they had rather eat candy
and loll around with pimples than
work hard, get sweaty perhaps,
and keep the skin rubbed clean.
Pimples have rightly been called
indigestion bumps. They follow
the eating Of rich, heavy foods
and sweets and are an indication
of an inactive life plus an indul-
gent appetite.
