SHALLLOUISBURGH; A Suitable Building Easily Ai WE LEARN THAT ADVANC1 IF There Is Anything In the Theory That to do Away With Flies Will Lessen the Percentage of. Diseases Then Loulsburg Should Act. . The subject of a market house for bouisbiirg is of a great deal more im- ' portance to the health of the citizens of ' Louisburg than it is apparently given : credit of being. Here of late years it 1 will be noticed that a heavy campaign 1 has been waged against the existence 1 of the fly claiming that it was the larg- > est source through which the many different diseases are spread. If this ] be truo then it goes without saying that to get rid of him will be a great sten forward in a prevenative way. If we can't entirely exterminate him : we should certainly do what we can to . retard his increase. In doing this one 1 of the first steps we should take would be to keep him as far away from what 1 we eat as possible, which in a rneas- 1 ure Kill not only help to prevent, the 1 scattering of dreadful diseases, but ' will necessarily, by his being shut out, 1 cause a decrease in his family. In at- : tempting such as this it appears to us 1 that the city government should set an example; as the more healthy the com- ' munity the better it is for the town, 'io do this they can easily establish a ' market house and have all meats and lish sold therein. Have tnis house fitted with screens and carrying troughs 1 throughout, or more exactly make it perfectly sanitary. There is a room or : two pioms in a good location here in town that can be leased at such a price 1 that it can be put in proper shape and rented at such a price that it will turn 1 the town in a revenue on its investment and at the same time rents will be as cheap or cheaper to those who han- 1 die such lines. The aommissioners certainly cannot hold off on the establishment of a market house on the account that it will be a hardship on anyone as it will not, unless it should possibly be some few who once In a while would possibly rent a store room to some one for. a market, as there is no one in the 1 market" business that own9 his own building. We learn that a majority of . our commissioners and town officials 1 are in favor of this movement and we 1 hope the matter will be brought up and that it will be carried by a large ma- * jority vote. It should be carried by a unanimous vote. Let our city fathers take up the matter and give us a mar- ' ket house. Mothers Should Read. , Every mother should read the ar- 1 title in the September Ladies Home i Journal "How a mother brought her 1 daughter to disgrace" by Sarah Curtis Mott. In this article the author pictures in a very masterful manner the* 1 unintentional short coming in mothers not leachingstheir children to respect the rights of others in not properly impressing upon them the importance of ( *" letting things alone that docs not belong to them. She goes on to say that : mothers are yery anxious as to their ( chililrens welfare at first in bo far as . damage to them . being done, but they ' completely ignore the fact that by their childish instincts and carrying out of ' their childish desires they do damage 1 to other people's property. The author uses as an illustration the imprisonment of a refined, cultured young gif-1 for the borrowing of a gown to attend a ( dance from its owner without her permission. It was traced out that in this case the mother had never taught this young lady the lesson that she shou'-d ' not bother that which. was not hers ( and she thought it alright to use it provided she returned it, which she fully intended doing had she not been ar# rested. The author goes oh to cite many illustrations which are more ap- ( plicable to large citiea but' are applies- j l,le to a certain extent to every home. To any mother who will read it and ,|cal with herself and her children fairly it will be yorth a thousand times the price of the periodical, and the time spent, to the coming generation. We ( (, only w? had sufficient space to , publish the article in full.

Has Her Work Been Taken * Away? Under the above heading the Ladies Home Journal for September, publishes the following sane and sound ed- . itorial which every woman should read: The man or woman who thinks sanely and sees clearly is always perplexed as to how such a liife of reasoning is sntertained long enough or seriously enough to get into print, unless it is that such material makes "good stories," as the newspaper men say. For, as a matter of fact, modern' invention has simply done for woman what it has done for man, no more and no less. And is man any the less efficient than he was, or has he found it necessary to depart from his instinctive and natural work? Woman's work has been made easier by invention, yes. That is true. Hut is that any reason why she should run away and leaye it? - The world is full of little children? neglected little people, some with nurses, some without?who fill our streets and parks. Our public schools, like sorrowful bread-lines,1 are crowded to overflowing, and one teacher is asked to shape fortv, sixty and sometimes eighty children. Our kinder-gartens, made makeshifts for mothers busy with non-essentials, are full. Our private schools, rapidly becoming nothing more than boarding-houses for the young, do a thriving business. But from each and all of these places there cumea uui uiic cry: me growing iacK 01 , home training that is more and more , evident to every teacher and student , of children. Here lies woman's work, J and it will never be taken from her. , Here lies her responsibility, and she , cannot shift it upon nurse, governess cr ] teacher. So modern invention can step ; in here Children cannot be brought j up by machinery; they cannot be i handled in wholesale lots. It is wo- j mon who makes the home that makes the-child. And it might be well for some of our female agitators to remember, when they harp on the declining character of men, that man is woman's product; and if it is true that man is i deteriorating may it not also be possi ble that-she is not making good enough ( men ? 1 . Stat# Fair. \ The Premium List of the Fifty-first ' Ireat State Fair of North Carolina is I just, off the press. The Fair is to be held as usual during the third week in ( October, coming this year between the ( L0th and the 21st. The book is neatly . bound in an attractive cover, and well printed on good paper, and has a few ' more pages than usual. ( Department classifications have been t revised again this year, and premiums | further increased. . In Department A (Field and Garden "rops), the policy adoped this year is 1 to divide the big-money awards into t more premiums; for instance, three J prizes now are offered in the individual ] agricultural exhibit, ten in the Men'B L'orn Contest. The girls are remembered this year, s i Tomato Contest having been insti- ( :uted, with seven prizes. ' I A notable increase of premium is in | the tobacco section, made possible by Mr. J. O. Gravely and other citizens of Rocky Mount " Coming to livestock, it is a signifi- t ;ant fact that the Percheron Society of I America, for the first time this year, in B >ffering its magnificent prizes at out . ireat State Fair, one of fonr Southern Fairs thus put on a plane with the greatest Fairs of the United States. a The Fair has also enlarged Its own pre- i miums in the Pereheroa class. Other B treat livestock associations tendering ^ heir prizes here this year are the Holstein-Frietlan Association of Amerca, American Hereford Association, 2 * -4, - , *.>?.?? r IKLI ^HE COUNTY, THE LOUISBURG.

In The Poultry Department?it was leemed advisable this . year to limit competition for premiums to North and South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee aid Georgia. Tti^State Superintendent of Public instruction is cooperating with the State Fair management to make the ixhibita in the Department of EduCaion the most complete that have ever wen seen in North Carolina. A separate list of this department will be isiued later, and all interested are re[uested to send their names and adlresses to Joseph E Pogue, Secretary, italeigh, N. C. Upon recommendation of the manigement the Executive Committee has ibsolutely forbidden from the grounds ill dancing-girl shows or other exhibitions into which immoral or indecent icte might be introduced, and all loubtful games admitting the eleme t >f gambling. This action has been fiven wide publicity in the amusement iress, with the result that the biggest ind beet shows in the country, and exlibitions offering educational as well is legitimate amusement features, will lave a clear field. Thus the midway rill be the most brilliant and most interesting in all the long history of the Fair.

There is an unusually fine lot of spe:ial prizes offered by merchants and >thers in the different, departments. So less than six splendid loving cups ind pitchers are among the special premiums. The Department of Horticulture show considerable improvement. Again :his year the solid silver cup (valued at 1100) is offered for sweepstakes in horticulture. It was won last year by the 5parger Orchard Company of Mt. Airy. V C The bopk contains a remarkably handsome cut of the horticultural ixhibit at the State Fair last yeai. More than $10,000 was spent in the rection and improvement of buildings ast year, the principal item of which ivas the new Agricultural Building of einforced concrete construction. This fear, a Poultry Building (00 x 160feet), >f modern design, is under way and will be completed in time for the Fair. The accommodations for livestock are being overhauled and increased. Other mprovements for the benefit of exhibtors and visitors are now under way? ill of which will be completed by the rair, octooer 10-21, 1911.

Thus the average North Car>lina mill contains 10,749 spindles, is compared with 26,652 for South Carolina and 14,184 ^for Georgia. Virginia's mills number only nineeen, but they average 21,174 spinlies; and Louisiana's five mills averge 19,381. So South Carolina has he largest mills and Virginia next Vorth Caroliiln's mills average the mallest of any really important ooton manufacturing State, Oklaloma's two mills averaging the mallest of all with an average ef 1,866 apindlea each.

Family Re-Union. On Saturday August 19lh there; was a family re-union at the home ' ot Mrs. Lucy Gupton, of near Laurel. Mrs. Gupton ia nearing her' eightieth birthday and it was a1 beautiful sight to see her in the midst 16 j of her family with her pleaeant and j peaceful countenance. She has been J an invalid abont five years but is al-1 j ways cheerful and enjoys having her I children, grand children, and great | giand children come to see mother ( and grandma. Saturday was a day long to be remembered by those -r I who were there both?friends and ( relatives. The weather was splen(j did, it being fair and neither to hot ( or to cold.

The men had fished the night before and succeeded in bringing in about a bushel of the finny tribe and Mr. E. N. W illiains, of the n 1 county home, had come down and cooked the good old fashioned barbecue while the ladies had prepared * bread, vegetables, fried chicktn, good s old country ham and cakeB and picke lea to which was added iced lemon- j 0 ade. Every one eat to his satisfac- j tion then scattered about to enjoy d another hour or s > of ch it, laughter, j e music and automobile rides. About n 3 o'olook all were again invited to I i. another feast?this time to ice cream, j " Truly this was a day of feasting and [ u pleasure as well as of meeting. One i remarkable feature being that of the ' t" 'children all being present and all1 looking to be bealtny and strong as t if they will be here to attend many ; i ; more like occasions. The number b present were seven children with 1 " their oompanions thirty-two grand - children and great grand children , and fourteen guests, friends of the family. 1 X OKB WHO WAS PBK8KNT. (linil .
