A CHURCH MARRIAGE CLUB.

Courtship is the most difficult social
problem of all large cities, as one can see
in the shady corners of any park after
dusk. A great deal of fun has been made
of the New England front parlor. closed
except for funerals or weddings. But the
seal of the front par1or door was broken
and wood was commonly supplied for its
stove soon after the oldest girl put her
hair up. In the use to which it was
then put it became a social agency Of the
very highest value.
There is no such haven Of privacy in
the city flat and many experiments have
been tried to supply this felt social want;
some of them so successfully as those
having the welfare of city girls and boys
at heart would like TO see them The
latest church scheme of this kind,
launched by a Methodist church in Man
haitian, is announced as n plan to take
matchmaking out of the hands of the
devil"
This church which has opened natri-
monial parlors announces the formation
of Il National Lonesome Club" with
the motto For every boy that's lonesome
there's girl that's lonesome too" The
subject, of course. lends Itself to humor
it always has since literature began
and some of the newspapers have got
good stories by having reporters drop
in and play lonesome" for an evening,
But the church people are trying to do a
fine and helpful thing should not be dis
couraged by that. Courtship has risen
superior to jokes since the beginning of
time. The matrimonial parlor is said to
be doing well. 1t offers sane and whole
some social amusement which promotes
acquaintance and draws an increasing
attendance Of the lonesome" Tactfully
and wisely nanased such social head
quarters will do something TO meet the
greatest city - social problem II this
church experiment works We'll it might
profitahly be extended.-Brookiyn Eagle.

Politics, People, Persiflage
Comment on Subjects in Which You
May or May Not Be Interested. About
People You Know and Ought to Know
BY BRYAN MACK

The Journal has recently added several
features that are appreciated by the
reading public, but personally I have
about concluded to discount the merits
of them. In fact, I am positively against
them unless they do better than they are
doing for November s.
I refer to the This Date in History
feature on the editorial page, and Life
and Character Reading that appears on
the Want Ad page.
Now in This Date in History there
appear names of great men born on No
vember s, and I several times read the
article and don't find where 1 was born
ron this date, though I have rather good
Information that 1 was. This may be I'M
intentional on the part of the one COM
pillng this feature. but such oversights
must not appear again. When Adele Gar
rlson's birthday comes around I am 60

Then again in the Life and Character
Reading feature I am given A, hard

anyone born under, over or in the vicini-
~ OF PISCES and as to having staunch
friends in Libra and Virgo it is a wilfuI
misrepresentation of facts. Most of nv
staunch friends are in Crestview and
Molino.
The more read in this Horoscope the
worse am dissatisfied with November
the 6th for a birthday. 1 shall see that
1t is changed the next time. The article
proceeds to say that three great faults

me at this time. The only animal plane
L ever used was faithful and resource
1ul mule name Kate. and as Kate has
been IN mule heaven for nearly quarter
OF century, therefore must be without
faults.
Then, as though the author Of the dav
hadn't picked out enough ugly things
to say, speaks right out in meeting and
says the ones born on November 8 are
and unsatisfactory and eccen-
trio in their dealings with friends. All
OF which makes me conclude right now
to change my birthday, provided L can
get someone to swap with me. for if
wouldn't be right to take someone eise's
birthday without arranging the trade.
Anyone having perfectly good birth
day to swap for November is hereby
advised that I am in a trading notion.

has shown too great a tendency of late to

have accumulated the greater savings.
While it has been disclaimed as a part

undivided profits, it is quite possible that
those Of bolsheyik tendencies in congress

HIT IN HEAD WITH BAT.

While the game between the
Rockingham and Laurinburg
colored teams was in progress
at the Fair Grounds Monday,
one of the spectators, Will
Threadgill, became peeved at the
playing in right field of Buck Lee
Grand. Will expressed his SEN
timents freely, averring that
Buck should be replaced. Buck
naturally thought otherwise, but
refused to play longer. Just as
the game was nearing it's end,
the two young fellows got to ar
guing over the affront offered by
Will, with the result that Buck
biffed Will over the head with a
bat and then ran. Will dropped
like a dead man, but revived in
a minute or so, none the worse
for the lick; he had been hit on
the head. Buck was chased by
some of Wills friends for some
distance, but finally escaped to
the woods in the direction of
Roberdel.

Last Tuesday afternoon,
March 20, some colored women
found the body of Bob Ellison,
colored, lying on the bank of the
Pee Dee a short distance above
Blewett Falls dam. The body
was lying wedged in between

out of the water. Officers here
were notified, and Coroner w. r.

ined Ellison, and found that his
neck was broken and the side of
his skull and possibly his paw
bone were fractured. Apparent
ly he had been hit twice by some
heavy substance. Ellison had
been dead some time. He had on
stockings but no shoes. Appar-
emily the body had fioated down
the river, there is no telling how
far, and there is no clue as to
when, how or why he was killed.
Ellison was notorious as a
blind tiger, and he was under
two indictments for making
liquor. One of his cases was
called at the last term of court
about the middle of February.
He did not answer and his bond
was declared forfeited. A cap
las was issued for him, and Of

liquor in the neighborhood OF

Ellison came to his death at the
hands of parties unknown, the
cause being a blow on the head
with some heavy object.
