Its Growth Indicates the Extent d
t., Prosperity Of the Community

An indication of the continued
growth and business prosperity
for this community is reflected
in the gratifying showing made
by the First National Bank of

annual dividend was declared
and the Directors ordered that
$5,OO0.00 undivided profits be
carried to the surplus account,
making the Banks to capital and
surplus SIS, 10000 which is con.
siderably larger than that of any
other banking institution in
Halifax County.
Mr.. }. W. Taylor was elected
a Director Of the bank and DR..

President at a Directors meeting
held on last Wednesday. These
elections being to fill the vacan-
cy created by the resignation of
Mr.. j. l.. Patterson, which was

ed very impressive unveiling ex-
ercises at the local cemetery Sum

pastor of the Rosemary Baptist

ed by Mr.. Cheffin and a splendid
effort it was. He began by ex.
planning the symbolism of the
marble shaft erected by the
Woodmen as emblematic of our
blessed dead and of our hope of
the Immortality of the human
soul. Passing from this thought
he explained the lessons, taught
by the ritualistic acts of the SER
vice and then traced the history
of the ways men have honored
their dead from time immemor.
ial. He eulogized the life of the
deceased and urged his hearers to
so live that they, like he, may be
able to fulfil the motto of the
Woodmen, "Dum facet clamat"
to let their influence their
life still speak to men after they
have left this world for that
bourne from which no traveller
has returned. He recapitulated
the thought of his address in q
beautiful poem.
A very large crowd was in at
tendance.
Excellent music was furnished
by the Rosemary Concert Band.
The degree teams were pre- sent
in full uniform.

WATCH FOR IRISH
POTATO WARTS

Potato Wart" is easily re-
cognized from the 'wart', which
is an outgrowth of extra tissue
usually coming from the eye, and
may continue to grow from the
size of pin head to the size of
the tuber itself. At first it is light
brown, then slowly turns darker.
This Irish potato disease has
been discovered in the United
States, and it is believed to have
been brought over on potatoes
imported from European coun-
tries in 1912.
Last September a man from
near Hazelton, Pennsylvania,
sent some 'warty" potatoes
from his garden, which were
being destroyed by the disease,
to the Pennsylvania State De-
partment of Agriculture. Upon
investigation it was found that
u cities and villages had gardens
with diseased potatoes, and
sometimes as many as fifty gar
dens in a village. Owners Of these
badly infested gardens state that
the disease had been noticed for
at least four years, and that it
was continually getting worse.
Some showed the disease to have
advanced so much that very few
tubers were formed.
At Hazelton, Pennsylvania,
there has been a laboratory estab-
lished by the State for the
purpose of testing the varieties
that are either immune or have
a great resisting power, and
where experiments are being
conducted toward treating the
soil with different chemicals and
SOL STERILIZATION. ~.
Mr.. L. E. Wyocum, of the
United States Department. of
Agriculture, Bureau of Plant In.
dustry, will be in this State for
about a month making a thorough
survey of North Carolina, and
to give his assistance. in cases
where it is found. Every pre-
caution against the spread of the
disease should be taken. Any sus-
picious cases should be reported
at once to the county agent, the
State College of Agriculture, or
Bureau Of Plant Industry at
Washington, D. G.

Resolutions Of Respect

We record the sad news of the
death of Sow. W. T. Snipes, who
died in South Rosemary on June
%. His death was not unexpect-
ed as he had been i'll for some
time. Sovereign Snipes was
we'll known in this community as
a hard working man and a true
Woodman. We the brotherhood
of W. o.. w. extend to the be-
reaved father. mother, sister and
brother our greatest sympathy
and coincidence in this their dark
hour of grief, their home is
shadowed in sorrow, our camp
has lost q sturdy oak. Death
has closed his eyes and silenced
his lips and that warm heart is
wrapped in eternal stiffness. We
are bereft of his presence, but,
the earth that covers his re-
mains cannot hide his virtues.
Let us bow in Submission to the
will of the Almighty and remind
the sorrowing ones that he looks
down with compassion upon
them in the hour of their DESC
lation. Therefore be it resolved
that the charter Of Brentwood
Camp No. So be draped in mourn
ing for 80 days in due respect to
our deceased sovereign. Be it
further resolved that in his un-
timely death we have lost a
faithful member. His family
a devoted son and brother.

Harmful Feeding.

The July meeting of the Com
munity Betterment League wa
held last Friday night, instea,
of the usual day, on account O
the fact that the invited speake
could be present then and not a

nished splendid music for the
occasion and made it memorable
by making their debut in their
new natty blue uniforms.
The speaker was Mrs. Kate
Brew Vaughan, director of the
Bureau of Infant Hyiene, State
Board of Health. She began her
address by eulogizing the
American soldiers and the pa
riotic citizens of the United States
for their contribution to the
world war and asked her hearers
to show their patriotism by
obeying the laws of health and
making America, a physically
fit nation. She stated that one
man out of every three who was
called to the colors was rejected
on account of some physical
defect. She attributed this large
ly to the way we have been fed
while infants. She contended
that the reasonmany infants have
been able to live through being
by flies was not
because they were harmful
things but in spite of them. She
said it was a sin to feed a baby
six months old biscuits, meats,
coffee, ETC., and even though
a child could sometimes live
through such treatment, when
it reached maturity it frequently
had a poor digestien and other
physical ailments; that diarrhea,
the dreaded disease of the sum-
mer, was caused by two things,
filth and improper feeding. The
common fly is a carrier of the dis
ease. If houses are properly
seemed and the few flies who de-
spite this precaution find en-
trance are swatted and properre-
gard is given to the right food
disease will be an unknown guam
tity. When babies die it is not
always the will of GOD but
treatment by the
parents and in hundreds of cases
their deaths can be prevented.
Mrs. Vaughn said that when the
State Legislature met she was
going to work with all her might
to have a law enacted making
It a felony for a mother to allow
her baby to die with diarrhea. She
spoke of the value of typhoid fe-
yer antitoxin and urged her hear
ers to be inoculated. In the after
noon Mrs. Vaughn made splendid
informal talks before them others

In the first address he pointed
out to teachers the possibility of
realizing the expression of

ers to catch a great vision for

ers. He exhorted the teachers
to be so imbued with power Wis
ion as to lift every human soul
we touch and awake their DOR
mant powers, for said he, there
are thousands waiting for you
teachers to speak the magic
word".
In another address on Art Of
Thinking" he brought out the
Biblical authority for thinking
by mentioning this passage,
Israeli doth not know: my peo-
pie doth not consider" He said
Americans do not take time to
think and many let others think
for them. If any one will tell
him his papers, his Church. etc.
he can tell him his opinions. He
says thinking is an art which
may be acquired. In the art of
thinking are four factors, 1st.
Open minds; End. Discriminating
minds; 3rd Minds that strike q
golden mean; 4th Minds that use
wisdom of emphasis.
At the formal opening of the
Summer School DR.. Patterson,
brother of the benefcent Ros-
