GENEROSITY.

We hear again this week
from another friend of the
“True Reformer,” wiiose heart
is ladened with race pride
and a desire to see the race
and its enterprises succeed,
timo it .is ^thnt worthy
irurf^ny, of Scotland Neck.
.During the whole time he has
held a government position
and other places of honor and
trust, he has never forgotten
the less fortunate ones of his
race. Mr. Anthony sent ns one
dollar this week with his best
wishes and emphatic statement
that the “True Reformer”
must succeed. Many thanks
to Bro. Anthony—would that
we had a thousand Anthony’s
and Cheek’s in Halifax county.

“The Bee,” of Washington,
D. C. W. Calvin Chase,
editor, says:
“There should be a law
passed by ihe southern legis
latures to make all idle people
work and those who are caught
upon the public streets hang
ing around bar rooms without
visible means of support
should be sent to the chain
gang There is some kind of
work for everybody to do.
There is no cause to have
idlers or loafers in any com
munity.”
We think “The Bee” is
right, for this is a question
that should interest the people
of this entire Western Hemis
phere. The wails that are
heard from widows and
orphans and suffering human
ity generally, on account of
the direful efforts of the drink
habit, is enough to startle the
sun and moon.
Energy and Push Will Succeed.
We cannot forbear speaking
a w'ord in commendation of
Warrenton’s successful livery
man, Mr. John S. Plummer.
He is well known, es^iecially
in Warren, Halifax and
Vhnee counties, as a wide-
awake, hustling business man, i
full of enterprise, x>ush a
progress, who Knows no.,*'
word as fail. Mr. Plumme'
the best known liveryman
traveling salesmen in Eastern !
North Carolina. His teams |
consist of the best i
horses, as fine carriages and
buggies as the market affords. I Presented
He has recently built a fine' P^^t
livery stable at Norlina p]
Junction, -where he keejis the !
best teams and polite drivers |
He is prepared to serve the j rocks
public at short notice, either worlil
from Warrentoton or Norlina
Junction, and the best at
service guaranteed—he can be
reached by wire or phone from
every section of the State.

Convention
coloied j)eople the value of
civility and obedience. Their
conduct and deportment at
public gatherings, especially
at the closing exercises of
Shiloh Institute, was anything
but creditable to young peox>le
who have had such superior-
advantages as those in and
around Warrenton. Parents
of that vicinity should feel
that there is gross negligence
somewhere in the training of
their children.
Is it in the homes, around
the fireside, where the
greatest reponsibility rest, or
is it in the schools and
churches? It is high time a
remedy was found, or the
cancer will become incurable.
