The Republicans of North Caro liaa are casting about now to get an issue with which to gain votes throughout the State and it looks like .they are going to insert in their platform a clause against State prohibition. They hop3 by this means to gain wet domoeratic votes. ; And they will get a few, but there are a lot of Republicans in the west ern part of the State that will never - vote that ticket when they 'declare for prohibition. we could have our fertilizers ship ped to us and could ship our produce without killing our team hauling over bad roads.

In the Baptist church at Roanoke Rapids a great and glorious meeting has been in progress since the first Sunday. The pastor, Rev. A. O. Moore, with the able and efficient assistance of Rev. 0. L. Powers, of Scotland Neck, is sowing the good seed of the Word of God. Mr. Powers is indeed a gifted preacher and his strong gos pel sermons, fraught with great faith and love, are surely worth making a personal sacrifice to hear. was immediately on deck and order ed that everybody put on life pre servers and have the boats lowered. When the ship was struck the ma jority of the people on deck were men and the first boat lowered was filled with them. An instant later the decks were crowded with terri fied women and children. Officers and members of the crew, as well a3 some of the men passengers, rushed to the boats and in some instances, gun in hand, saw to it that only wo men and children, with the necessa ry men to man the boats, took their place within them. After the first moment of panic the work of saving women and children went on order lv. pverv mfin submitting to the enjoyment ofiClirn TV-l!i 01 1,13 Eea nonien anu (children first!" Officers and crew displayed the greatest heroism and self-denial in superintending the rescue. Before the last life-boat had been lowered the Titanic was heavily list ing the port, and as this last boat made away from the fated vessel it was seen to deepen quickly forward. Women in the boats saw the rest of the passengers crowd to the back- decks. They plainly heard the band playing "Nearer My God to Thee" and the following instant the mon ster 5-hip had been engulfed in the Atlantic. Some women refused to leave the ship and would rather meet death by their husbands than be saved. Among them was Mrs. Isador Straus, the New York merchant prince's wife.

Last Sunday Rosemary, N: C, April 22. Mr. J, Frizzard died at his home in Rose mary, N. C, Thursday, April 11th Mr. Grizzord was for several year3 foreman of the cloth-room of the Rosemary mill and was very popu lar. He leaves a wife and two chil dren and a large circle of friends to mdurn his departure from this life. The remains were taken to Halifax . and layed away beneath the sod to await the great resurrection. His family has the deep sympathy of the entire community. afternoon he preached a speeiol ser mon to men only. Sunday night at 8 o'clock he delivered another pow erful sermon from John 3:lt. Several persons have manifested a deep interest in their souls' salva tion, and no doubt many more will do likewise. The Christians of the various churches are greatly rs vived. The writer feels glad that the good people of Scotland Neck were fortunate enough to secure the ser vices of Mr. Powers as their pastor. We were also very glad to see some of the young men from Scotland Neck in the meeting and to hear them sing. It is hoped that great good may be done during this meeting for the upbuilding of the Master's kingdom around Roanoke Rapids and Rosemary. Paint Now State of Onto, . . City ot TotEno LrcAS Cot STY.
