The Liver i* a blood purifier. It
-was thought at one time it was the
seat ol the passions. The trouble
with most people is that their
Liver becomes black because of
impurities in the-blood due to bad
physical states, causing Biliousness,

At eight o'clock Tuesday even
ing Rev. E. U. Davis of Jackson
preached a forceful missionary
sermon, emphasizing the need of r
living Christ in every phase and
condition of life.
Wednesday morning our Secre
tary, Mrs. K. H. Willis gave tier
address, which was comprehensive
and interesting. She so beautifully
appealed to her oo-laborers for a
more earnest effort to accomplish
greater things for the Master.
Mra Spiers of Weldon, in her
quiet impressive manner, enter
tertained the conference at different
intervals both bv paper and dis
cussions, especially instructing us
ou the Social Service question and
importance of reporting our work, 1
more definitely and at tbe proper 1

All were impressed with the
earnestness of our much loved
secretary, Mr. Willis, who seems
never to yield to fatigue. From
place to place she accompanies our
presiding elder, her faithful bus
band, helping and strengthening
each other in everything pertain
ing our Master's work.
Murfreesboro was generous in

sent expressed themselves glad of
the privilege of atteding the Dis

Investigate Before Signing. ^
There ii being circulated in St
Johns township a petition asking
the County Commissioners to ap
point a new man for the office
of Koad Supervisor, bringing
serious charges against some ol
the present board, and as tliie
petition is being signed by several
good citizens without fully ex*
plaining the real nature of the
Detition, and being one of those
fooled I take this opportunity to
warn the public that this petition
is gotten up purely through malice
with the intent to injure the good
name of one of the present members
of'-tbe board who is giving the peo
ple satisfactory service. Myself and
a number of others was led to be'
lieve there was a vacancy bat later
f<gsnd that it waa an effort to
thRTw out Mr. T. J. Teaster, one
of. the boards very beat and
efficient men who has enjoyed the
honor and esteem of the people of
this township too long for a cer
tain class to attempt to discredit
his faithful work in building up
our county roads. The good peo
ple of the township want no
change as our present board is do
ing all we can reasonably expect.
1 ask that ibis petition be fully in
vestigated before being signed.

$450 jo Prizes to Corn dob
Winners.
West Raleigh?-T. E. Browne,
in charge of the boy's corn club
work in North Carolina, has just
sent out vouchers to the winners
in the 1914 corn club contest. The
vouchers totaled $450.00 "which
?urn is the gift of the North Caro
lina Board of Agriculture to the
ucky boys. There are ten dis
tricts in NortlT"Carolina, and to
sach one of them will go $45.00 to
the winners. The prizes are' $15,
112.60. $10, $5, $2.50. Dudley
Hall, the champion of North Caro
lina, will receive a free scholar
ihip to A. and M. College. There
ire numerous other local and eoun
;y prizes which the winning boys
sill receive for their labors. *'
The agents atjite there is a grow
ng interest among the hoys in
heir search for the scientile facts
regarding corn growing and other
'arming. The prizes, the workers
lay, help to stimulate.rivalry, but
ire not (be chief aim of the boys
when they are working their crop.
Another thing which the boys
ire doing besides replenishing their
>wn coffers and enlarging their
Knowledge is teaching their fathers
tow the art of progressive farm*
ng is carried on. Many farmers
ire outclassed by their sons, and
his fact makes the elders work
larder to make good yields.
That this year will be a success
ful one is the prediction of Mr.
Browne, who has watched the corn
;lub' work ever since it began in
tfortn Carolina. The crop will be
l little late in getting started, but
will have time enough to mature.
L'he youths have their.seed select
id, and are ready to plant and
jegin cultivation. The member
ihip is now climbing towards the
1.000 mark, and it is thought that
(Twill reach the.cdveted gold be

Some Form* o( Rheumatism Cureable.
Rheumatism is a disease charact
srized by paiDs in the joints and

non forms are: Acute and Chronic
Rheumatism, Rheumatism Head

Liniment.two or three times a day
to the affected part wHl give in
stant relief. .Sloan's Liniment is
;ood for pain, and especially
Rheumatic Pain, because it pene

Great Municipal Improvements
Mar* North Carolina Town* Install'
8 fog Water Works and Sewer Sys
tems Tkan Ever Before.
' New water work* and sewer ays
' tenia are b looming in North 1 W?
" litua today. little towns and vill
' ages are installing water and
' sewers now, whereas, a few years
' ago, only the large towns had such
' things. Now our larger towns are
' erecting magnificent, permanent
1 plants yielding only' the purest
' kind of water and that in abund
ance.
1 The conservative old town of
fidenton is waking up. At a re
cent meeting of her tit.v council an
ordinance was passed to enforce
1 the use of sanitary privies. The
ordauce demanded that the privies
be made according to the specify
cations recommeded by ti^e State
Board of Health and that they be
installed before fly time, /k wise
ordinance for this little !own, but
if she would have them in before
fly-time, she should be up and do
ing.
Dirbam proposes to run no risk
in regard to her city water supply.
She has been using filtered water
frtMa the Euo Kiver but owing to
the fact that this river receives'
drainage from Hillaboro, her?p1an
ia to change her source to Flat
River. Flat River is remarkable
free from sources of pollution. It
affords a watershed that will be
ainple for the needs of Durham for
100 years to come.
The new plan calls for a raw
wafer reservoirmf 40 million gal
Ions' capacity to bo looated at the
present site of a smaHec. artificial
lake at the Country Club. This
will serve us an emergence supply,
a settling resefvoir, and will add
materially to the beauty of the
Country Club.
^ Durham --has- voted B660,?00
-bonds to effect these improve,
ments. Mr. Gilbert C. White is
the engineer in charge.
Moiwhead City is rapidly push
ing forward the work of installing
one of the most complete sewer
systems in the State. According
to the engineers in charge, the
system is already 40% complete
by July lat. Such a sewer sys
tem witb the abolition of the pre
sent privies will make Morehead
one of the healthiest little towns
in the State.
Washington is another North
Carolina town that proposes to
-b&ve^t pure water?supply. She
has bought the old privately own
ed plant which furnished the cit.v
water from deep wells near the
center of town and which brought
the owners one or more law suits
Tin account of its polluted water.
Perhaps the most modern filtra
tion plant in the State has been in
stalled about a mile out of town.
The city supply now comes from
Tranter's Creek instead , of from
walls in the heart of town in close
proximity to human habitations,
privies, sewers, stables and -other
sources of pollution. Washington
is also installing a rather complete
sewer system. This in turn will
abolish a great number of old open
privies. ?
South port has recently issued
$40,000 bonds for the installation
of water works and a sewer sys
tem. For ber water supply she
proposes to sink a suitable number
of deep wells as there is no surface
water available. These proposed
plans have just been submitted to
the State Board of Health, It is
probable that these plans or similar
plans with slight alteration* will
be approved by the Board.
There are knowu to b? about
twelve or fifteen towns in the
State that are actively considering
the installation of water works,
sewer systems and sewage disposal
plants, t>r improvements in exist
ing water and sewer installation.
