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 ?

. 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

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.

So less than six splendid loving cups

The Department of Horticulture
show considerable improvement. Again

It was won last year by the

einforced concrete construction. This
fear, a Poultry Building (00 x 160feet),
>f modern design, is under way and

Virginia's mills number only nineeen,
but they average 21,174 spinlies;

Crop Estimate Enormous.
Washington, Aug. 18.?Renewe
protests against the issuing of pr<
liminarv ootton estimates hv the An
ricultural Department were made 1
the Senate today by Senator Smit
of South Carolina. He presents
telegrams from agricultural commit
sionera of eight cotton growin
States declaring the goverment est
mate of a record breaking cotto
crop was not borne out.
Senator Smith introduced a net
resolution calling upon the Secretar
of Agriculture to make an immediat
investigation and report conditions <
the cotton crop. Senator Smith d<
clared that the cotton market dro)
ped $29 a bale on the strength of th
government's report of a 3,000,90
bale increase in this year's crop.
"This estimate was made June 28
he declared, "before part of the cro
was out ot the-ground."
He said he protested to Secrctar
VV ilson and was informed that th
Secretary did not know the prelim
nary report had been issued, an
that it would not occur again. Bt
on August 2, Senator' Smith sail
another glowing preliminary repoi
was issued.
"I should hate to draw in the Sei
ate ot the United States," Senate
rjmitn added, "the conclusion that
feel might be drawn from this r<
marlcable report of the Agriculture
Department. Either the commit
siouera of all the cotton States, me
right on the ground familiar wit
conditions, are utterly mistaken, c
else the Agricultural Department i
wrong in its deductions that ther
will be a record crop this year.
It is entirely wrong that "watered
reports of this kind should be sen
out. It is true some sectious hav
crops that are above the average, bu
there are other sections whose crop
are so inferfbr that we need not es
pect a much larger crop of cotto
than last year.

August Canning.
II The success of canning depends upon
absolute sterilization and heating thg
fruit till all the germs are destroyed,
then sealing it air tight while scalding
hot.
For canning use one-third to one-half
as much sugar as fruit,
d For preserving use three-fourths as
much sugar as fruit.
For jam use equal amount of sugar
and fruit.
n For jelly use equal amount of sugar
b and juices.
d For canning use only perfectly sound
frilit- both firm nnrl of crnnr* nnalitv
For preserving: fruit is both cut up
? and left whole
l* For jam imperfect or over-ripe fruit}
d may be used.
For jelly fruit should be under-ripe, I
Cook small quantities at a time.
Have the fruit boiling: hot when put |

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

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

( or to cold. The married people enjoyed
setting about laughing and

About eleven-tbirtv all were invited

out on the yard under the shade of
? the great old wide spreading oaks to
t a long table fairly groaning under
its weipht of good things to eat and

night before and succeeded in bringing
in about a bushel of the finny
tribe and Mr. E. N. W illiains, of the

county home, had come down and
cooked the good old fashioned barbecue
while the ladies had prepared

Solicitor's Report.
The following is the report of the Solicitor
for the August term of Court. It
will be noticed that it is very complimentary
to our efficient Clerk, J. J.
Barrow, who sparesjnojpains in-looking
after the interests ofjthe public in his
office. The report follows:
To Hon. C. M. Cookh, Judge Presiding
:
The undersigned Solicitor of the 4th
Judicial District respectfully reports

Oxford Dereats Locals.
A series of ball (tames was played between
Oxford and Louisburg at Williamson
Park on "Thursday and Friday
of last week, the visitors taking the
honors in both games. The game on ?
Thursday was fought hard for by the
local boys but on account of several
costly errors and the good playing of
the Oxford boys they lost the games in
a score of 10 to X. The game on Friday
was practically a repetition of Thursday's
game only the locals lost out by
one run more, making the score 11 to
t. The game for Saturday was called
off on account of the visitors having to
return home. No doubt there was
something in the claim otthe locals that
fate was against them in these games.
Six Thing's to do in August
1. Hive special attention to the milk
vessels. Rinse in cold water before
they are scalded. Summer diseases of
children are brought on largely by unclean
milk.
2. Remember that the quality of butter
depends upon careful handling of
the milk.
3. See that all domestic animals and
fowls have a liberal aupply of clean water.
,
4. Keep an eye on the garbage. See
that it is properly disposed of.
5. See that enough tomatoes are canned
for soups during the winter
months. .. ,
6. Cut down the meat diet during
the warm months. Introduce the coding
salads into the diet. '
