HELD HERE LAST FRIDAY A delegation of Murfreeeboro citi zens about twenty strong came orer to Ahoakie last Friday night ,to con fer with local citizens regarding the proposed extension of the Wellington and Powellsvile Railroad to Murfreea boro.

Stanley Winbome stated the proportion that Mr. Baker of the rail road company had made to the Mur freesboro people?a subscription of $200,000 preferred atock yielding 7 per cent interest. The entire sum was to be used in the construction of the road from Ahoakie to Murfreeahoro, giving a guarantee of a standard gna ged road all the way. Hon. D. C. Barnes of Murfreeeboro also joined in the discussion and answered a few questions propounded by the local cit izens. It was stated that Mr. Baker had given out information to the effect that the road from Windsor to Ahoa kie would be standardised by subscrip tions of stock to be taken by the cit izens of Windsor and the intermediate points along the route. -With this point decided, the local interests took added stock in the proposition and ex pressed their willingness to aid in the movement. Another point raised was the probable extension of the 1344 to some point beyond Murfreeaboso and connecting with some other railroad that will give Ahoakie and the other towns an advantage in freight rates. It was intimated that the Maneys Neck people would lend thair aid to wards running the road to Franklin, Va.

RED CROSS WILL FUR NISH NURSES FOR THE ATLANTA PEOPLE Atlanta, Ga., Jane 28.?The Atlan ta family that cannot employ the ter viee* of a trained nurse at $36 a | week or pay a hospital bill at $30 a week and op, and yet does not wish to accept outright charity, will short ly jet the benefit of a nursing service that it neither charitable nor ezpen- I sive. The Atlanta Chapter of the Amer- i ican Red Croea, it is announced here, beginning about July 1, will put on a force of six or eight public health nurses who will be on call to visit any family in the community. The chap ter will also establish in different parts of the city welfare clinics that mother* can get advice about the care and feeding of their children and also wher* nlflMMid and sic [ dren can be treated free. The Red Cross nursing service, sta te* Lee AahAraft, president of the Atlanta Chapter, will be designed to meet the needs of people of lesser means who shy at charitable insti tutions. However, if the client is unable to pay the small fee charged, hi* case will be referred to city nur aes, and *honld they so desire, the Red Cross will handle the case for nothing. The charge of a fee where the client can pay, it i* felt, will be more acceptable to patient* of this class than charity, while at the same time no client will be neglected if he cannot pay. - The fee, in any caae, will be very small, so that the man of ordinary mean* will And the service well within his resources. The shortage of none* in Atlanta as elsewhere throughout the country and the crowded conditions of both public and private hospitals where rooms must be reserved weeks ahead of time, has led the Atlanta Chap ter to establish the nursing service aa the major part of it* jsaca Una work,' state* Sr. Aahrraft 0 | Shower ia Honor of Bride-to-Be Mrs. J.

STATE BOARD OF NORTH CAROLINA WILL ENFORCE PRIVY REGULATIONS i Raleigh, June 27.?To erfforce the strict compliance with the sanitary privy law the engineering division of the State board of health is pUe-l ing additional inspectors in the field for the purpose of checking up the communities which have previously, been inspected by the regular field men of the health department. Where previous instructions for the construc tion and maintenance of sanitary pri vies have not been followed prosecu tions under the law will be made. | Owing to the large territory con tained within the State it has been an impossibility for the inspectors em ployed to complete the work of in spection throughout the State and since the law became effective. This work is going forward, however, as rapidly as it can be efficiently done. The re-inspection just begun is for the purpose of checking up and mak ing sure that the law is obeyed. LaUrinburg was the first of the town to receive a re-inspection, and this] was officially requested by the local authorities. Spring Rope, Jamesrille Robersonville, Plymouth, Henderson, 1 Nashville and Norwood are among the towns that have been visited. Prom all these reports indicate the desire of the people generally to follow the provisions against the spread of the typhoid fever, colitis, and other dia rrheal disease the germs of which are distributed by fliee. Among recent prosecutions were three of the largest property holders in the town of Henderson. Each de fendant entered plea of guilty and judgement was suspended for thirty days pending compliance with the law. At Norwood six property own rse were convicted for failure to pro ! vide sanitary privies. ft ! Pmhi Cwqi Pre* to Sept. lit. The opportunity to get the PEA NUT GROWER once a week until Sept. 1st, without one cent of charge is presented the readers of this paper through the liberal offer of the pub lishers the Virginia-Carolina Coopera aive Peanut Exchange, to be found in another column. This publication has been of great value to the peanut growers of Vir ginia and North Carolina in keeping them posted as to the peanut market and in furnishing much general in formation of value in regard to the peanut industry. It is proving of special value at this time in that it is keeping the growers fully posted as to the movement for enlarging the peanut exchange for the purpose of enabling the growers to own their own warehouses and to do their own cleanlnig I This movement for the organisation < of the peanut growers of these two ^ states is gaining momentum and its < success is practically assured. In the J one county of Southampton, Virgnia, ' where an intensive campaign is being i worked, already more than 600 sign ers to the contract have been secured. 1 200 of these signers have cme from < the Berlin-Ivor district, while the < Jerusalem district is close behind. ? Some work remains to be done in 1 these two districts, while in the other < Ave districts there is still much to do. I At least one thousand signers are con I fldently expected in this largest of the ' peanut growing counties, which prom- ' Ises to set a pace for the other conn- < ties to follow. The one handicap to the progress ? of the work is the lack of regular workers to go out and explain the contract in the public meetings and to work with the local volunteers ? In the house to house canvass. A * ?pecial effort is being made to get ad- t ditional workers for this purpose, so " that the campaign may be pushed to 1 completion. v This contract, which the growers are t being called upon to sign, has been t called their Declaration of Independ- t ence and from the way they are sign- > ing up, thsy hsve decided to assert their independence in the future by * locking arms with one another in ? t co-opeiat?e organisation rather than ? t ocontinue dependent upon a system > in which they are forced to sell their a peanuts at such time anr prices as the ' other fellow pleases.

Speaker Who Pleads for Cause of Democracy. Hon. Cameron Morrison of Char lotte, opponent of 0. Max Gardner of Shelby for the democratic caber national nomination, spoks to a fair sized audience at the Ahoskie Hick School auditorium on Tuesday night, having arrived in Ahoakie Tuesday afternoon from Bertie County where he spoke twice, at Windsor and Cole rain. There were in all seventy-six voters out to hear him, and among those were delegations from Winton and Murfreesboro. He spent Toes day night in town and left via auto mobile Wednesday morning for Jack son to make another speech for his eaadidacy. Attorney Walter R. Johnson, for mer manager for Mr. Page in this county, introduced the candidate, in a speech bristling with oratory and praise for candidate Morrison. Mr. Johnson hailed Cameron' Morrison a* the next Governor of North Caroling thus repeating the aaeertion made in his former introduction of Mr. Page to an Ahoakie audience. Mr. Morrison prefaced his speech with a few remarks about the cam paign now on between himself and Mr. Gardner. He admitted that char ges had been made against both him self and his opponent, but- pleaded with the voters to listen not to the liars and blackguards. He nprmii his friendship for Mr. Gardner a?l pledged bis support to him should be win out in the primary Saturday, llr. Morrison neither aArmed Ha^po sition on State issue* nor deneid any charge that had been made. No ref erence was made to the Gardner can didacy except to recall the ofllcehol ders so prevalent in the Webb-Gard ner family, which he asserted were as numerous as millionaires under the democratic national and state rule. The remainder of his speech was devoted solely to a review of the con dition* under democratic role and under republican rule. He pleaded for a renewal of the democratic faith and asked every democrat, wlriUi ? his reason might be for voting dem ocratic, to renew hit faith and work from now until the Novehmber elec tion for a democratic administration in both State and Nation. He spent a few minutee extolling the record of Wood row Wilson at the peace table eulogising him in ver flowing terms. The President's work 3a the Peace Treaty was taken up, snd his record expunged of the odious things charged against him by the Republican party, all of whom wery. repeatedly characterised a* the "wolf ish" groug. Mr. Morrison wound up hia speech ay asking the support of the voters >f the East, because, he said, it was ?he West's time to name the gover aor; and that the western districts lad shown that they wasted him by ;heir action in the first primary wheal te carried all of the western districts n the State. Many of those preeent iccrpted the invitation to shake hands vith him, and went up st the eonciu luslon of his speech. 0 ..AhosUe Will Play ??.oUII The Ahoekie baseball dab will play i (am* of ball with the woodland earn at Winton on next Monday at he Fourth of Jqiy Celebration which rill be held at the Hertford County 'air grounds on that day.
