A weekly Democratic journal devoted to the material, educational, political and agricultural interests of Halifax and surroundingcouuties. Advertising rates reasonable aud fur nished on application. Judge Jones, whose resigna tion as judge of the Superior court is effective 'May 7, has formally announced his candidacy for the Democratic Congressional nomina tion in the Fifth District. It was understood that he resigned to be come a candidate for Congress. The Henderson Gold Leaf is exactly right when it says that "the constituted authorities are quick to call out the militia or summon posses to protect a base criminal who de serves hanging, but law and order and the interests of society are too often forgotten in the trial or after a conviction has been had." Thile the Supreme Court of Tennessee was confirming the con viction of Col. Duncan B. Cooper for the slaying on November 9, 1 908, in a Nashville street of for mer U.S. Senator E. W. Carmack, Governor Patterson disgraced the State of Tennessee by writing a full pardon for the defendant, de claring that in his belief Colonel Cooper was not guilty. The Su preme Court remanded for re-trial the case of Robin Cooper, convict ed of the same crime as his father. it is much easier tor a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man, who has in fluence and a "pull" to go through the gates of a penitentiary. There is no necessity on earth for a re trial of Robin Cooper, for accord ing to Governor Patterson it is not a crime to shoot down an editor who does not know better than to criticise a political boss high in au thority, a trial jury and a Supreme court to the contrary notwithstand ing. THE Durham Sun turns on the light when it says : "Corruption and scandal is ram pant, in high places, as well as low. Graft is widespread, and dishones ty at a premium in many places. Investigation is the order of the day. The great want of this world is men; men who are honest, sound from center to circumference, true to heart's core; men who will con demn wrong in friend or foe, in themselves as well as others; men whose consciences are as steady as the needle to the pole; men who stand for the right if the heavens totter and the earth falls; men that never flag nor flinch; men that have courage without shouting; men in whom the currents of ever lasting life run still deep and strong; men who do not cry or spoil their voices to be heard on the streets but who will not fall or be discour aged, till judgment be set on the earth; men who will not lie; men who are not too lazy to work nor too proud to be poor; men who hold their places and keep them; men who are willing to eat what they have paid for."

Nkvvs.) Halifax. N. C, April 18. There was a very pretty wed ding on Saturday evening at 9:30 o'clock, at Hotel Roanoke, the home of the bride, when Mr. T. Vi'alton Worthy, of Mt. Olive, Miss., led 10 the altar Miss Ruby Nash Sater, youngest daughter of Mrs. W. A. Sater. The parlors were tastefully de corated for the occasion, with love ly roses, spring blossoms, and pot ted plants in great abundance, while candles shed lhat soft glow that made the scene all the more beautiful, and impressive, and long i.) be remembered by each one present. The immediate relatives were gathered in the back parlor, and at the appointed time the door was thrown open that the assembled i guests, many in number, in the from parlor, could wimess the mar riage vows as pronounced by the Rev. C. G. liradley, reeior of St. Marks. Six of the bride's closest friends, MesdamesJ LAVeller, C. H. Hale, and Misses Nannie Gary, Nell Nelson, Virginia Butts, and Mary Norman, formed a semi circle around the couple, Mr. E. N. Sater, brother of the bride giv ing the bride away. The wedding marches were well rendered by one of the bride's intimate friends, Miss VCilhelmina Froelich, of Rich mond, V'a. The bride was handsomely at tired in a grey going-asvay gown, with hat and gloves to match, and never looked lovelier than when she pledged her troth, amid the sweet smelling blossoms, and softened lights, with numerous friends around her wishing earn estly for all the best things that life can give. The bride was a favor ite young lady here with many, and counted her friends and ad mirers here and elsewhere by the score. Of sweet and lovable dis position her graces won for her such friends as deem friendship a thing sacred. So, somewhat with reluctance we relinquish our claim upon her. The groom has been in Halifax since July, 1909, with the Fall's City Construction Com pany, of Louisville, Ky., and dur ing that time has won many friends who hated to see him leave. Mr. and Mrs. Worthy left on No. 85 the same evening for their bri dal tour, which will include Atlan ta, Birmingham, Ala., and Mount Olive, Miss., the groom's home, where they will spend some days with his parents. They will make their home in Marietta, Oklahoma. We wish for these young people the best things possible along the journey of life. Mrs. Irvin Clay and sons, of Rocky Mount, returned home Monday. Miss Nell Nelson, who has been in Richmond for some time, has returned home. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Blount and children, of Rocky Mount, were here last week to see Mrs. H. W. Gowen. Miss Edna Draughan, of Rocky Mount, spent a day or two here last week with Miss Nora Hower ton. Messrs. John Taylor and Joe McMahon spent several days in Washington, D. C, last week. Mrs. Eustis Norfleet. of Wil mington, has been spending some time with Mrs. N. L. Stedman. Milton Norman spent the week end here with his parents, return ing to Warrenton Monday. Mrs. June Tillery spent several days last week at the Tillery farm with her husband. Miss Jessie Gregory left for Philadelphia Tuesday where she will spend some days on business. Mrs. W. A. Willcox went up to Ringwood last week to see her relative, Mrs. Roberson. Mrs. J. E. Holdenand little Miss Lucile, of Enfield, spent last Fri day here. Little Misses Ruth and Blanche Hancock, of Scotland Neck, are here to see their aunt, Mrs. D. M. Campbell. Mr. Swain Norman, son of Mr. J. H. Norman, had a very unfor tunate accident last week while in a game of ball. It seems that he was on the third bag, while in the act of reaching up for a ball, he was run into by a stout fellow and thrown off guard, he was knocked down and one leg broken. At last accounts he was getting along very nicely. Rev. W. C. Merritt, of Clinton, preached some very fine and help ful sermons here last week, and when we learned that he was com pelled to go back to his work on Saturday, we were sorry. The preaching was of a very high type, and calculated to do most any one good. Rev. C. G. Bradley filled the Sunday morning apppointment at St. Marks, as usual, preaching a good practical sermon. W. F. C . BETTERMENT COLUMN. What Are You Going To Do About It? The statement went out not I long since mat eklon is a town of two thousand population, one fourth white and thre.'-fourths col ored. Again a prominent tithe. .u . ot trie construction company now here at work was told, within a short time after reaching Weldon, that he could not afford to drink Weldon water and he would be lucky if he did not have a chill in two day's time. Now we know these are vile slanders, and we can not understand how any person can live in a place and depend on an income derived from the busi ness of that place, and at the same time do and say all he can to reflect on tne town ana us good name, j There are many things in our en vironments and our municipal life . which we deplore, and it is the , business of every good citizen to j work to correct such evils as far as possible. But io make such slate-; menis as the above is downright j mean, and Weldon would be for-; tunate if all such people were given their walking papers in short or der. Still liars and deceivers have lived since Adam's day and since there are some to orignate and cir culate these slanders it behooves us to ask ourselves the question, "Are we doing all we can to refute these charges and prove to the world that they are false?" As to the first statement; the census man will soon be around; his report will prove the exact ratio of our population as to color. At the same time it is the duty of our col ored citizens who are self-respecting to work with the Betterment Association in repressing the evils that do exist and which spring from a disreputable and lawless colored population. They have their interests and homes among us and the conduct of their people who do not regard law, order or decency reflects on them and brings reproach on our town. They should not submit to be quietly set down with an element that brings discredit to a community, and be content to raise their children with out trying to create a sentiment of a higher order, and placing every safeguard around them. To do this, they will have to be awake to the evils which exist among them selves and instead of cloaking and covering up crime and lawlessness see that every violation of law is brought to justice. Their children are especially liable to go wrong, if the parents allow and wink at the examples set them by their own race. Self-preservation or rather home preservation should influ ence every respectable colored man to try to break up dens ot vice, "blind tigers," crap joints and all such places as seem to be relegated to the colored race. If they would do this it might be said that Weldon 's population, though largely colored, is an honorable and law-abiding class. As to our climate, we do not claim to be any great health resort, but our death rate will compare favorably with any town our size, in the State. We are free from many ills which exist in other and higher climates and with more at tention given to sanitation and cleanliness we may take first rank in our record for health. Then again the colored people could do a good work. It is a colored wo- man s prerogative to sweep and : clean and that they excell in this is evicenced by thelneat doorways and inviting entrances to many o their homes. Let them make cleanliness an order among them selves and instead of the ill-kept, bawdy-looking, disreputable wo men who hang around our streets and public places, let them put a stamp upon all such and see that they are not allowed to thus reflect on their race. As to water, we do terribly need a good system of waterworks and a pure water supply. While as far as health goes our water does not seem io affect this problem one way or another, the question of comfort, convenience, and abso lute necessity, compels us to insist on some action in this regard. There is no town in Eastern Caro lina which has better natural drain age than Weldon. A perfect sys tem of sewerage could be instituted with ease, and comparatively little outlay. It has become a necessity from the impossibility to secure good help in our homes. The growing population demands the comforts of modern times and un less something is done we may expect to hear disagreeable things. It is useless to say "we haven't themoneyforwaterworks!" There are corporations who would put them in if the proper franchise was given. The people want them and many of our citizens in South Weldon have at great individual expense put private water in their homes. There are others within our corporate limits who would do this if the authorities would per mit. Now if these people are wil ling to pay the price why not let them have a united system in which all who wished could have a part? There has never been an innova tion or improvement of any kind, but what there were some "kick- ers," but if those who oppose ev erything are to always have their way we may expect nothing but hard knocks and had just as well swp every worj 0f protest or de nial. This we do not want to do. We cannot s:t quietly down and hear our town assailed and not raise a voice in its behalf. We feel that with energy and cooperation this is the time to act. Our people seem never more prosperous, and there are many improvevements on foot. Weldon will be full of strangers within the next few months. Waterworks, a good hotel and a new post office are ne cessities which are needed and must be had. I. T. W.
