VOL. X. NO. 5- Republican Campaign. Jamesville, sitting calmly on high bluffs rising from the waters of the Roanoke River, was aroused from its quiteude on Monday by the thunderous entry of forty two (42) republicians—ten white and thirty two colored. It was an inspiring scene with " Big Jim " forming the background. For he, contrary 1 to former statements, had received a raise—been advanced to the Higher position of candidate for treasurer, and was feeling a grain" more important/ Collector Martin talked as did Cheek, can didate for elector of first district. C. C. Fagan who was not moist enough to stick, had come off the legislatior ticket, and a Green man, one with plenty of sap took his job- All these were there and with knowing winks sat them down, and listened to radical doctrine as usually set forth by the guods box orator. It was surely a fine be gining for the men who want to rule Martin County and have boast ed that North Carolina would give a majority for Taft. Radicals waut high tarriff but give out barrels of cheap talk. See? ✓ Kodol is a combination of the natural digestive juipes and it dig ests all classes of food and every kind of food, so you see it will do the work that the stomach itself does. The only difference between it and the stomach is the stomach can get out of order and Kodol can not, but Kodol can put the stomach into good order. Buy Kodol to day. It is guaranteed.

Harry Harding, Rector of Calvary Church Tarboro, so well known and beloved here has re reived a call from the vestry of the Holy Communion at Charleston, S. C. It is earnestly hoped by every one who knows this noted divine, that he will not leave the State. Charleston would be honored by his acceptance of the call. /His parish ioners at Tarboro, as as others outside,will not easily let him leave. North Carolina aUdwa too many of its young men to go beyond its borders, and the Heed for them has never been grater than to-day. Do not let anyone tell ycu that something el?e is just as good as DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills because there isn't anything just as good for weak back, backache, rheumatic pains, inflammation of the bladder, or any Kidney and Bladder disorder.

Far across the valleys -its silver music rings, and lo! October en ters. Beautiful charm, a more mature beauty, a sweeter serenity, a winsomeness lacking in her sister months. Her*mantle is of many colors, a scarlet and yellow toned down by golden browns and dull crimson. Many a ragged rent is there, bnt with every tatter flutter ing a gay salute they are forgot tea in the splendor of the whole. No mighty choir of feathered spirits greets her entrance, and wanting , are the garlands, of the summer No flower-strewn paths await her coming, but the crisp brown grass crackles beneath her step, leaves of gold and scarlet are caught in her treses and th% clear melodious whistle of the quail gives her greet ing. In brown seiried ranks the corn shocks stand. In glowing piles the pumpkins pledge her golden bounty. The fragrance of ripe fruit hangs over the orchard. Hjgh above her bead she elevates her horn of plenty that he who will may have.—From Couutry Life in .America. AX .»■ THE ENTERPRISE Barbecue at "KelTta Groye."

You take Kodol just for a little while when you have slight attnsks of Indigestion, and you take it just a little longer in order to get relief from severe at tacks of Indigestion or Nervous Dyspepsia.

There is one custom at leant In the Ottoman dominions In Europe that pause* foreign visitors a great deal n* "trouble and confusion. This Is the Turkish system of reckoning time. ' A Turk holds that the day begins eXactlr at sunset, and accordingly at that time he sets his clocks and watches at the hour of twelve. In view of the fact that the sun has the same habits in presiding over Turkey that it exercises with refer ence to other localities, it follows that this system of reckoning time require* setting the clocks every day. It ap pears that a watch that could run for weeks without gaining or losing n minute would be of no special value to a Turk.—New York Tribune. sr.oo a Year in Advance Report to tbe Alumni. The session of 1907-1908 was one of growth and progress for the University. The increasing ii«tn»- ber of students and tbe develop ment of courses, necessitated the enlargement of the faculty from 78' to 94. The enrollment of students reached a total of 790, the collegia ate gradute department alone num- - bering 537. The new infirmary and library came into use and have > made a marked difference in the life of the University. The law school Is now quartered in Smith Hall, the old library and at last has suitable and convenient accom modations. The new dissection hall, large, well lighted and con veniently arranged, has added much to the efficiency of the medi cal school. Material additions were made the equipment of the laboratories and to the library col leciions. At a cost of about SIOOO a large athletic field has been laid off and graded for the class teams. Another section of the campus h:ft been graded for the tennis courts. About three acres of the northeastern part of the campus are turned into an arboretum. A part of this has already been completed under the direction of Prof. Coker and adds greatly to the charm and beauty of the campus. Davie Hall, the new Biological Laboratory has been completed at a cost of about $35000 and is oge of the handsomest build-- ings 011 the campus. During the summer the Chapel Hill Hotel, also known as Pickard's Hotel, was purchased by the Trustees. It is now called University Inn and is managed bv the University as a dormitory and boarding house for students. The removal of the biological laboratory has restored about a dozen rooms in the New liaft for dormitory purpo^ci. While the time has not arrived for detailed announcement it may be stated that the University has received two generous gifts this summer which it is hoped will add to its capacity for service. These gifts will not be available for this session. Mote definite mention _ls withheld at the request of the donors. A bequest of #SOO was received from Mrs. Margaret Brid.- gers of Wilmington. The present session the 114 th of the University has opened most favorably. There are already 760 students enrolled. The most note worthy increase is in the sophomore class which numbers 162. All of the classes hold their own except the freshman which shows a fall— ing off, numbering 176. The total numbers are about the same as last year. I am glad to say that at no time was there better work being done at the University, or better order, or a more harmonious spirit. The Alumni have cause to be proud of. the strong and able faculty, of the splendid body of young men gath ered here and of the energy and spirit with which the great work o£ the University is going on.
