WINTON CHECK BOOK FOUND - ON DEAD MAN. The body of an unidentified white man. found floating in the Elizabeth rifer about 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, was towed to a wharf by (Kte tun Hustler, Gap tain Elliot. After being viewed by Dr, R. S. Kuignt, city coroner, the body was removed to "the morgue. A check book on the Bank of Winton at Win ton, N. C.. was found in his pocket. Several stubs were still intact and the book has been sent to the bank by Dr. Right, as it is thought the' bank officials may be able to look up the body was that of a man ap parently about 60 years old and 6 feet 10 inches in height.

' Good Piece o! Legislatioo. As Act Creating Training School for Noraoo at Sanatorium. "One of the beat piecea of legis lation of tbia General Assembly," said a prominent man of the State recently, "is that regarding tlie State Sanatorium for treatment of Tuberculosis, ea peri ally the act creating a training school for nursee. This going after tubercu losis right," he continued, "for if we can have nurses" trained in tuberculosis work to go out among the people and tegch them how to live to avoid tuberculosis as. well as the way to ^et cured, then we'll be getting down close to the pro blem and we wou't be long solv ing it." Whether the above prophecy is true or not, there's no doubt about the efficacy of the plan. The act referred to reads thus: "Power and authority is hereby expressly given the State Sanatorium to or ganise and conduct s training school for nurses. T*he superin tendent shall be the ex officio dean of training school for nurses and shall have power and authority to appoint such faculty, prescribe such course or courses or lectures, study and clinical work and award such diplomas, certificates and other evidences of th$ complete ness of such course or courses as be may think wise and proper, and perform such other functions and do such other acta as be may think neceisary in the conducting of such training school." ' Trained nurses have been one of the strongest forces eVer sent out against the White Plague. They meet the enemy on the enemy's ground and there fight to conquer. They enlist patient and household, and when given this support the victory is theirs. They don't stop at telling how a thing is done, but how it is done, why it is done and the results to be expected. These health educators are valuable as sets to any state, and North Carolina is to be congratulated on this move she has taken toward stamping out tuberculosis. * Early Spring Lavn Treatment. It is now time to give attention to the lawn if a good healthy, thick and even growth ia desired during the coming summer. If you spread manure on the lawn list fall and it has been allowed to stay on the grown all winter, rake off the coarse material aa aoon as the grass begins to grow. The lawn should then be rolled thoroughly with a heavy roller, and about a weak thereafter, ap ply broadcast from 600 to 1000 pounda of hydrated or other well slaked lime per acre- The lime will soon get in its word by neu tralizing the acids and stimulating to actiV work the different plant foods iti the soil. The same prac tice can be supplied ? to lawns treated with stable manure in the early Spring or Winter, but care should be exerclSed not to apply the lime sooner than a week or ten days after raking off the manure else you will lose some of the valuable ammonia which you have stored up by manuring. It is to b understood that sour soils will not grow a good lawn, and many lawns become sour through excessive ^fertilizing and bad drainage. It is interesting to observe, in connection with the above adsice on the maintenance of a gdod lawn, that the liming of the lawns of the Agricultural Department at Washington is being done at the present time. Visitors to Wash ington will probably recall what beautiful grass is grown each year in front and to each side of the main buildings of the Agricultural Department. Good results can be obtained in lawn cultivation by giving a little time each Spring in the proper care of your grasp plots and its well worth the out lay of time and money expended for the pleasure that follows in having a "pretty front yarff."? Karl Langenbeck, Lime Service Bureau. Washington. Mors Were Not Id Contempt. Supra* Court Rsvsrses Judfe . Peebles; Opinion By Hoke. Holding that articles reflecting on judgea are only punishable by contempt when auch publications obstruct or unduly interfere with the due adminiatration of justice, the supreme court, in an opinion written by Associate J ustice Hoke, Wednesday evening reversed the ruling of Judge R. B. Peebles whereby Messrs. Chas. A. and Q. W. Brown, Ooldsboro editors, were adjudged in contempt by tbe superior court judge. The case had attracted unusual interest by reason of the fact that tbe Oolds boro editors were fouDd guilty after being made to go to North ampton county to stand trial. In cases of this kind, tbe judge may resort to tbe criminal courts for1 vindication if he finds himself libeled, the .opinion states. In other words, tbe law as interpreted places a judge on the same plane as an ordinary citizen, unless the publications obstruct or unduly interfere with the administration of justice.?Tbe Raleigh Tipnes. Why Have Good Roads. There ere an abundance of rea sons why we should have good roads, even under normal condi tions. But there are urgent reasons why we should have them this year, when coditions are expected to far surpass even tiiose of nomal. Our roads must be in condition for prompt harvesting of the great crops which the world is demand ing of America this year. Experts in all lines of business predict that 1915 will be the most prosperous year in the history of the United States. President Wilson has publicly warned the farmers of the country that the task of feeding the world will sooo devolve upon us, and he urges us to utilize every ounce of energy and every foot of ground, lliat the supply may be equal to the tremendous demand for food. Europe today is non productive, yet the people of those countries must be fed. They must not starve'. And America is the only nation that is equal to the gigantic task. And because this herculean task falls upon the American farmer, it is imperative that no act of ours be left undone that may be pro ductive of greater of swifter results. And herein lies the value of good country roads. . Tremendous cropq may be grown, and, harvested, but they must se marketed in record time this year. And without good roads this cannot be <|one. The time is opportune for the people this community to take uV this matter and see that prompt measures are taken to insure the best of roads in the country dis tricts before the time is at hand for the moving of the great crops we are asked to produce. Horses and mules must draw this produce to the shipping points, and this is a matter requir ing both time and animal energy. ? " ... An animal possesses only a cer tain amout of energy, beyond which it may, not be taxed, and when that energy is exhausted it ceases to be of the greatest value to its owner, and future move ments are retarded because of its lost vitality. If country roads are placed in the best possble condition during the spring and summer months, the fall movement,of crops will be accomplished with greater ease and less expense than heretofore. And every hour, of time will be needed this fall if the farmers heed tne call of the world and the warn ing of our president. Let us "up and be doing" here, that we may contribute bounti fully of our substance when hu manity turns to ua*for bread. Reception at Meredith College. Saturday Evening March IS, 1915. One of the moat brilliant uncial events of tlte season was tonights reception given by the charming and popular sponsor. Miss Lillian Shaw, to the Ffleehman Class of Wake Forest College. The guests were met at the door b.v Misees Dixie Lamm and Nell Paschal, and Misses Louise Wad kins and Nell Covington introduc ed them to the receiving line, com posed of Miss Rosa Paschal, the sponsor.

F. Fresh man classes. The guest were not long delayed in the receiving line, however and soon were confronted by a huge "Fish Pond" amid the shrubbery and blossoming trees surrounding the chapel door; and each in his turn was allowed a chance with the hook and line^to fish for his girl out of the Chapel. Fates "merry and sad" ensued, but for the most |.art the enchanted hook caught aud won most desirable partners and each Freshman wan dered off to pay a visit to the uunch bowl, reposing in a huge St; Patrick hat, out of which Misses Bob Pridgen and Sophia Koott served most delicious green punch, deemed especially appro priate for "first year Gentlemen". Thia punch also possessed a certain magical quality whieh enabled every timid Newish to conduct his partner to the seclude nooks and corners of the W. F. and Meredith rooms where he was at ease to discourse on tbe beauty of the iters or the numerous attractions of Meredith College, Thus, several delightful hours were spent by all parties concern ed and the lovely decorations of palms ana flowers and the delight ful music of the orchestra added hot a little to tbe attractiveness of tbe occasion. At a late hour delicious refresh ments were served and each guest presented with aSt.Paprick favor. Soon after this the sponsor called every one together and in a most charming way began: "When you Freshmen came tonight, My! 1 had an awful fright! All the speech I'd learned with pain Flew right straight out of my brain. So Mud to start again. Make another up. and then, Worda and rhymes and thoughts and strains Scampered wildly thru' my brains.

And now, good friends to all ''good night."
