Halifax Co. Triumphs
Over Northampton
The resolution passed by the North
ampton County Convention unani
mously. asking for the repeal of the
law exempting from taxation all
stocks owned in foreign corporations
by residents of the State and the re
solution in substance being incorpo
rated in the Democratic platform, was
defeated in the Second Congressional
District Convention in Raleigh, July
> by the close vote of 84 to 80. The
fight for the adoption of the resolu
tion was led by Senator W. H. S. Bur
gwyn, no one else speaking in favor
i it. The opposition was led by Sena
tor W. L. Long, of Halifax, a former
jesident of Northampton County, and
F. L. Travis, of Halifax, as well as
several Halifax political leaders.
Northampton, Warren and Green
counties voted solidly for the resolu
tion, Bertie voted six for and nine
against, Wilson, Edgecombe and Le
noir split their votes, and Halifax
which was the last county to cast its
vote, cast all of its 34 votes against
the resolution to defeat it by four
votes, theeby defeating the putting of
the resolution in the Democratic plat
form. provided it could have gotten
through the platform committee.
W. J. Pinenll To
Be Next Sheriff
W. J. Pinnell, John S. Davis and Dr.
W. W. Taylor became the Democratic
nominees for Sheriff, for House of
Representatives, and for Judge of the
Recorder’s Court, espectively, on Sat
urday when voters of Warren held
their second primary, polling a record
vote for a second primary and lulling
only a few hundred votes behind the
vote of June 7.
Overcoming a lead of nearly 600 in
the first primary, W. J. Pinnell, well
known farmer and business man of j
Afton, defeated Sheriff 0. D. Wil
liams of Warrenton by the count of
1602 to 1096. In the second primary
Mr. Pinnell not only gained the equi
valent of all the votes cast for former
sherff R. E. Davis, for E. L. Green
and Ben Tharrington, but also gained I
more than a hundred of Sheriff Will
iams’ vote. Street talk attributes the
tremendous change of votes to an an
nounced change of deputies for poli
tical reasons Sheriff Williams had
promised to replace Deputy Frank H.
Neal with John Leach of Littleton in
the event that he was elected.
A bolt of lightning knocked tea
cups from the hands of three women
guests of Mrs. Robert Selden of De
roit, but none were injured.
Doctors Disagree
Whoa children are irritable and
peevish, grind their teeth and sleep
restlessly, have digestive rains and dis
turbances, lack of appetite, and have
itching eyes, no6e and fingers, doctors
will not always agree that they are suf
*ero»g worms. Many mothers, too,
WMi not believe that their carefully
brought up children can have worms.
m? • <&r^mft*n8 that these symptoms
will yield, in a great majority of cases,
** » few doses of White's Cream Ver
mifuge, the sure expellant of round
ana pin worms. If your child has any
of these symptoms, try this harm
less, old fashioned remedy, which
*ou can get at 35c per bottle from

CHOOSING
A WIFE
By Rev. C. T. Thrift
(Continued from last week)
Husband and Wife
Husband means house band. That
puts great responsibility on the man.
He is the oak. the woman is the vine.
“A man shall be as a hiding place
from the wind, and a covert frpm the
temptest; as rivers of water in a dry
place, as the shadow of a great rock
in a weary land. Fortunate is the
woman whose husband is a real house
band. The trouble is, so many men
think they are model husbands and
they are. Model means a small inn
tation of the real thing.
Wife means weaver, for in olden
times, she did the weaving. The
daugthers did the spinning and were
called spinsters. The wife today is a
weaver still. The man may build a
house but the woman with her def;
fingers weaves into it grace, and
[harm and love anil beauty, and trans
forms it into a home.
1111 iicain i.»o l * i cm
Marriage is a life sentence. Any
loosening of the matrimonial bonds
is fraught with peril. The increase
in divorce is alarming. “Therefore
shall a man leave his father and his
mother and cleave to his wife: and
they shall be one flesh.” There should
be no divorce except for adultery and
there should be no adultery. Hus
bands and wives ought to be true to
each other till death. The man who
breaks up his home or breaks up the
home of another ought to get his
punishment at the whipping post. I
for one, would like to see it estab
lished and used for that purpose.
The woman who breaks up her home
or the home of another ought to find
her punishment in the ducking pool,
about twice or three times. The story
is told of an evangelist that he an
nounced on the eve of a collection
tha tthere was a man in that audi
ence who was false to his marriage
nows and that he had the facts and
was going to expose him if he did not
put a ten dollar bill in the collection.
When the plates came in there were
no less than fifteen ten dollar bills in
them.
innaren in me tiome
The basic idea of marriage is the
propagation of the race, not to pro
vide men with wives and women with
husbands. The dignity of manhood is
not reached in leading about a wife
but in being the father of noble chil
joren worthy of their sire. The crown
ing glory of womanhood is not maid
enhood. though spotless as the driver
snow, nor wifehood, thought like Cae
sar’s wife, above suspicion, but moth
erhood. “A mother is a mother still
the holiest thing alive.”
Where a man and woman get mar
lied with the intention of having nc
children their marriage is not holy. II
I knew it I would not marry such a
.couple.
A Married Woman’s Place Is Pri
marily In The Home
Her home and the call of the race
have first call on a young married
woman. If she goes out to work that
means as a rule no children and the
childless home is the peril of our Ang
lo-Saxon civilization. The married
woman going out to work as well as
her husband constitutes a grave so
cial and economic problem. It gives s
small family and a larger income thar
has a larger family, a normal family
if you please. It mu'’ be and doubt
less is that the married woman a!
work keeps some man without a jol
when he has a family to support. Ont
of the most anamolous things is foi
a young woman to marry and per
haps the same day sign a contract U
teach school the next session. She »«
going out to teach boys and girls how
o live and yet her married life is *
fraud for she and her husband hav*
entered into an agreement to rob the
cradle. If I were a superintendent 1
would not employ a newly married
woman as a teacher no matter how
competent she might be.
Who Rears Your Chidlren?
But for the colored nurses when
they are little and the school teachers
when they are older and the police
men when they are out of school,
m3ny chiUri-n would have hunt time
Their parents exercise very little in
fluence over them. It' the birds and
the beast, did no more for their ba
bies than many parents are doing the
birds and beasts would become ex
tinct. U human parents were as care
ful about, their offsprings as the
! inis and beasts there would be some
fine in vs and giris stundmg at the
marriage altar getting read) to build
hom.es as go. d or better than those
from which t’v- v came.
Ccii.tship Should I.ast All 1 he ^a>
l tv--’, niuli’n.;' should not end with
marriage. A man ought to court his
wife throe hundred and sixty five
days in the year. Then there would
rot he so many divorces and broken
hemes and wrecked lives. Rev. Robert
Newton declared when he and his wife
were about to celebrate their golden
jubilee that in the fifty years no un
1 ind word or unkind look had ever
passed between them. I heard a man
say several years ago that his wife,
then nearly eighty years old. was
more beautiful to him than when she
was a blushing bride.
