Added the 10th Grade.
At a recent, meeting of the Board
of Trustees of the Scotland Neck
Graded School a motion was carried
to authorize the superintendent to
raise the standard of the school to do
tenth grade work. This will give us
a four year preparatory course and
we propose to prepare thoroughly
for college.
We offer the advantages of the
10th grade to all who were graduated
from the 9th grade last year and to
all who are prepared to do 10th
grade work.
A little folder showing the course
of study that will be used in all the
grades will be gotten out soon and
will be mailed to any one requesting
it.

His Bond Reduced.
In a habeas corpus hearing before
Judge C. M. Cook, at Louisburg, on
Wednesday, of last week the bond
of Mr. E. E, Powell, Jr., was reduc
ed from $3500.00 to $1500.00. Pow
ell was tried before Mayor A. C.
Livermon some weeks ago under
several different warrents charging
him with selling liquor. He was
bound over to court in each case and
the mayor made the bond $300.00 in
each indictment.
Judge Cook looked at the matter
differently from the way Mayor
Livermon did and reduced it as above
stated saying that he thought $1500.
00 was sufficient.
The friends of Powell readily gave
the reduced bond and he was allow
ed to come home, and is now at
his store attending to business.
It is being talked on the streets
that when the trial comes off at the
August term of court Powell is going
to make statements that will be
damaging to others besides himself.
For the good of the community the
whole matter ought to be sifted
out.
Warrenton District Conference.
The thirtieth annual session of
the Warrenton District Conference
of the M. E. Church, South, was
held with the Methodist church at
Williamston from Wednesday, June
29th., to Saturday, July 3rd.
Rev. J. E. Underwood, Presiding
Elder of the District, preached the
opening sermon Wednesday night.
The conference organized the next
morning by electing Rev. C. L. Read
sacretary, and the appointment of
the working committees. It was
a busy session from beginning to
end. Mr. Underwood makes an
ideal presiding officer. The preach
ers made very encouraging reports
of their work on the various charges.
The preaching and speeches before
the conference were of a high order
and very interesting.
The homes of the people of
Williamston were thrown wide open
to the visitors and all were given a
hospitable and cordial reception.
This writer was fortunate in being
assigned to the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. Gurganus where we were
intertained in the very best style
and where every thing was done to
make our stay pleasant and of last
ing remembra nee.
Several preachers remained over
and preached in the various churches
in Williamston Sunday morning and
night.
The next session of the conference
meets with the Scotland Neck
Methodist church.

Aulander vs. Scotland Neck.
In a game of ball interesting at
t;ms here Wednesday, Aulander de
feated the strong Scotland Neck ag
gregation by the score of 8 to five.
This is the only off day that is re
corded against the four fingered
spitter, his main trouble was wild
ness in pinches. In the fifth with
the score 0 to 0 the locals came to
the bat and off of a pass and six hits
scored four runs, this was overcome
when the visitors with the big end
up in the sixth slambashed Darden
for seven saf ties which netted them
five tallies. The score board was
tickled no more until the eighth
when Darden allowed two passes and
one safety and these coupled with
three errors gave the boys from
across the river three runs. In Scot
land Neck's half of the eighth one
mora run was added to her list. The
features of the game was the classy
work of the whole Aulander team,
and the bone headed work of the lo
cals.
