Hot Coffe and Biscuits served; one week only . Monday Morning, Sept. 3 to Saturday Night Sept. 8. - CHILDREN'S DAY Tuesday BETWEEN 3 ami 5 P. M. FREE $8.00 Set of Ware TO GET THE MOST VALUE FROM THE THINGS YOU BUY That's the Problem! You are interested in reducing the "High Cost of Living ? it means more to you this year than you imagine. The cost of things is not always controlled by the price you pay for them. Waste in material, labor, energy ? all are vital factors. - To get the most value from the things you buy ? that's the problem. In your household ? in every household ? the greatest outlay of money is for foodstuffs and fuel; the greatest outlay in the house wife's time and energy is the preparation of meals. Perfect baking and water heating with the least possible fuel is one central and controlling fact in household economy. You believe you are getting the best results from your cook stove or range, and with what you have, this is doubtless true. You fail to realize the advantages gained in throwing out an old cook stove or range that is not thoroughly scientific and economical in its operation. All great business men do this ? that is why they are great business men. They know well what most of us are slow to learn; it does not pay to operate anything a single day after something better has come to take its place. The question therefore, in your household is, not only what price you pay for fuel, but are you burning too much of it ? and not only the price you pay for flour and other eatables, but are they being cooked without waste ? not only the price you pay for a cook stove or range, but what it costs for repairs. These questions are better answered by comparing the GREAT MAJESTIC MALLEA BLE AND CHARCOAL IRON RANGE with others. The Great Majectic is not only a durable range ? a perfect baker ? a great water heater ? an economical range ? but, in its new dress, it's a Handsome easy-to-keep-clean range. Call at our store during our Majestic Salo Week ? let the factory representative show you the Majestic, in ide and outside ? show you the new improvements ? improvements that are not to be found on any other range. Special f<Jr this Sale only $8.00. Set i * ?!<* 5^ jL of Marbleized and Copper Ware will |\ r A | j be given FREE with every Majestic Range bought. Positively no Ware will be given after this sale. Massengill Hdw. Co., - F?ur Oaks, N. C. A Trip to Swansboro, N. C. Some few days ago Mr. J. R .Bag gett, a well known attorney who re sides at Lillington, or rather has his main office there, came to my home and informed me he was arranging for a trip down to Swansboro, N. C., to be made on cars, along the pro posed route to build the Central Car olina Railroad, the purpose being to show to the people the section of country to be traversed by the road. Finally I accepted his invitation and with my Bro. Herman motored over to Newton Grove on Friday morning, August 24thr- where we were joined by some of Sampson's first citizens, viz: Messrs. Josh Weeks, Walter Bizzell, R. Futrell, Leon Warren, O. C. Williams and Geo. Warren, of Dunn. After announcement was made thr.t all were aboard, the cars were headed first by way of Dobbers ville with the tourists observing the much needed facilities of transporta tion. We passed Dobbersville on schedule, then on for Mt. Olive, ar riving there in time for dinner. While some of the boys were in to see the barber a few minutes, Col. Baggett, accompanied by Mr. Patterson, Cash ier of the Bank in Coats, Mr. Bain, Mr. Parrish and others from Coats, joined us. Then for the Hotel where we were royally treated, expressing thanks fcr courtesies, etc. Here Mr. Brazeal, cashier First National Bank, and others joined us. If I mistake not, some one prob ably the cashier, informed us the de posits from the truck crops this spring amounted to $1,000,000 or more ani many farmers made $600 to $800 per acre on truck. Then off for Swansboro, everybody lively and only regretting that it wasn't the first ride on the new rail road, the next village being Beulah ville, a small town only four years old, and growing rapidly, situated on a tram-road. While enroute the com mon expression was how badly this section needed a railroad and the great paying proposition on invest ment it would be, the country being level, good soil and easily drained, where not naturally drained. The next town was Richlands, a very nice and industrious looking place. But just before reaching there, Mr. Baggett stopped and showed the tourists a very large lime deposit. The Central Carolina Railroad Company had an option on it. It consisted of 600 acres varying from 18 to 48 feet deep, analyzing 98 per cent lime, which is badly needed on many of the farms < of North Carolina. Mr. Baggett told us the lfme could be delivered along the new railroad for $3.00 per ton, and it being equal to any other lime at 98 per cent lime, so you see the great saving that would be to the farmers in the lime question. All being ready about sun down we mo tored off for Jacksonville, the county seat of Onslow County. After one of the best runs made, we quickly drove up to the River View Hotel where the most royal treatment ever ac corded any touring party awaited us. Here Mr. Tennis, the financial agent for the Central Carolina Railroad Company, joined us. After supper we walked up town to the Court House Square and drank water from tho fountain of youth, so we were told, it being an artesian well 175 feet deep. After being made welcome to their town by the Sheriff and County Su perintendent of Schools, we were pretty soon off to Slumbertown, a place in Dreamland. Next morning we had breakfast at 6:30, then were off for Swansboro, 22 miles. I noticed, to my surprise, the same manner of farming done in this section was continued all the way down there, even out on an inland between the Inland Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. As we ran along another unexpected observation by us was made and that was deep creeks, clay hills, with abundance of hard wood as well as pine timber and same reaching to the ocean's edge, which is p very unusual feature along this part of the coast. Pretty soon found ourselves in Swansboro, it being sit uated on Boguo Sound connected to the ocean by Bogue Inlet. While there we were warmly welcomed by the leading citizens and Mr. Darden, the proprietor of the Hotel, and all the people hoping and praying for the coming of the railroad that they might have an equal opportunity with the rest of the world. Mr. Tennis told us that Swansboro furnished the best place on the coast for year around resort, it being pleasant in summer and very mild in winter. Mr. Harden told us he planted garden seed each month in the year except in July and August^ it being the time vhen others had plenty of such. He also told me that his hotel stood 42 feet above low water level. Mr. Dar den was once a millionaire, I've been informed, and had his chair in the New York Exchange, and is very in teresting in conversation because he knows big things. He told us th: new railroad offer should be accepted and supported by everybody near enough to be interested, that it would afford means to develop the greatest section of the State for farming, es pecially trucking and sporting on the coast, and that it was a worthy en terprise and would take care of itself after built through to the ocean, and would soon be paying good dividends on the stock. I would that the people along the proposed line could take a trip along the section and see for themselves the great possibility in the invest ment. I feel assured the spirit of co operation would be so strong that an overwhelming majority would favor the investment. So much for that. The party were made to enjoy a trip over to the life-saving station. While there., some of them had fine sport bathing, etc. On our return, had dinner, then went down and saw some of the village boys catching shark. Just before leaving they caught one weighing 100 pounds. Then we headed our cars for home, by way of Maysville, Trenton, the county site of Jones County; thence to Kinston, about GO miles from Swansboro, where we spent the night. The greatest historic points along this run were the resting place of Governor Russell, being in a family cemetery between Swansboro and Maysville; in Kinston the beautiful monument to our first Governor of North Carolina, so we were informed. After spending the night, next day be ing Sunday, we came by La Grange, Goldsboro and on to the place the sweet little song reminds us so well of when away. In conclusion will say, seeing is be lieving, and am highly pleased with the opportunity to advise that I think the opportunity offered by the Central Carolina Railroad Company for rail road advantages should be accepted by every one along the proposed line, and hope the lack of co-operation on our part as citizens will not let the opportunity pass. So we elected for our watch-word C o-o p e r a t i o n and bade each other good-by. Let me ask you who are interested, not to forget your election day, and if it can be in accordance with your mind, to accept our watch-word and take as- a token for progresr.iveness. Yours for development, W. V. BLACKMAN. Bentonville, N. C., Route No. 2. ' NEW TESTAMENTS AND BIRI.KS for sale at The Herald Office.

Parker, Smithfield, says: "My back ached and pained all the time and in the morning I was so sore and stiff that I could hardly dress myself. The least cold settled in my kidneys and made my condition worse. Sometimes, I felt a sharp pain when stooping. My kidneys acted irregularly and I suffered from headaches and dizzy spells. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me of all symptoms of kidney trouble. They strengthened my hack and put my kidneys in good shape."
