Dec. 11 to participate in the open
inir program of the eight annual
convention of the Southern Com
mercial Congress, following close
ly upon hia re election, wi'l give
an impetus to the Southern inva
sion of Norfolk that is expected to
amenable here that duy the largest
throng that ha* ever gathered for
an event in Virginia. The day
will be literally alive with features
of the typo calculated to draw
crowds from distant as well as
nearby cities and the lowest estimate
that has been placed upon the ex
pected multitude of visitor on
Wood row Wilson Day is 60,000
- Henry O. Bar bee. Chairman of
the Citizena Execu tive Committee,
estimates that the four days of the
convention will draw to thia city
between 100,000 and 115,000 vis
itors. The sixteen state executives
of the House of Southern Gover
nors have each appointed upwards
of 100 official delegates. Gover
nor Stuart of Virginia ia complet
ing his list, which will include the
names of probajily 1,000 promi
nent Virginians. The Southern
municipalities, boards of trada,
ci auabers of commerce and other
commercial bodies will name up
wards of 6,000 delegates. Dr.
Clarence J. Owens of Washington,
U. U, managing director of tbe
Southern ?Commercial Ctngress,
estimates tbat the number of offi
cial delegates will run between
8,000 and 10,000.
Aside from the stellar program
features announced for Wilson (
Day each of the subsequent days ,
will offer attractions for visitors (
and when t'le final count is made {
it will not be auprising if chairman ,

On November 13th James Lee, 1
the infant son of Mr, and Mrs. '
Raleigh* Williford, of the Center 1
Grove neighborhood, died at the 1
home of hia parents.
He was born A ugust S8th and 1
had the nromiseof life before him.
He bad brought life and cheer to the '
parents and children in the home,
but was stricken with a sickness ;
from which there seemed to be no
prospect of rallying. In a few !
days it yras seep to be a losing Qgkt. |
^fter a short vyhile the patient 1
little sqfferer fas released from ,
the body and went to rest. The
funeral services were conducted I
from the home by Elder C. L. ,
Dowell. Our sympathy goes out ,
to the parents and family in their 1
sorrow and loss. God comfokt j

The average local town paper ia
worth thousand of dollars annually
to its community for the free ser
vice it renders. As a constant
booster and promoter of local
news or information it is rndespen
sable.
Did you ever atop to think what
you would do witLout your home
paperf This is not an idle question.
What would you do if your town
paper should indefinitely suspend
publication!
Having no newspaper would
mean a return to the old Roman
method of posting information on
public bulletin boards. A call for
teachers' examination would ne
cessitate posting notices at dozens
of places in the oounty at greater
expanse than the charge in the lo
cal papers. Farmer Smith could
not announce a sale to all his
neighbors except by laborious
methods more costly than news
paper space. Marriage and
death notices most certainly would
not fitly adorn public bulletin
boards. Those who are interest i
ed in farm or town improvements i
would make progress but tedious- i
ly without newspaper support.
No; we just have to have our i
town newspaper. We want to i
know what other people in the
county are doing. The moet in- i
teresting information in the world <
is knowledge of what other people i
are doing. Let's help oor com
munity by helping our local editor
io his work. We cannot dispense
with hist service. On the other
lisnd. be needs more of our moral
and material support.?Geo. A. 1

FARMERS 1 Pi m
IITIIE MIIMS
?
The cotton producers of North
Carolina appear to have a mistaken
idea as to the season of the year
the grading service will benefit
them the most. They appear to
feel that they are geUing g6od
value if they receive the middling
price.
The investigations which have
been made the past two years show
that about three-fourths of the
cotton is better than middling,
and above, the season through.
Our data shows that the farmers
of the Stele receive better value
for the grader below middling
than the.V do for the grades above
middling. Where the grading
service should be of the most bene
fit is iu enabling farmers to sell
their good middling cotton as good
middling and not as middling, as
they have in the past.
It seems that cotton producers
and others have been so misedu
ofted as to the true grade that it
is hard to convince them that a
very large portion of their cotton
is better than middling, and they
ire loeeing a goodlv sum of mon
ey on this account. Hearty sup
port of the grading work, and in-'
sistence upon the part of produ
cers that proper premiums be paid
for grades above middling, will
undoubtedly overcome this serious
defect, which penalizes better pro
duction.

In Memory of Little Verona '
Hoggard. ,
I ? ?
On the 22nd day of October the (
Death Angel visited the home of ,
Mr. and Mrs. N. S, Hoggard and J
took from it their darling, little (
Verona. She was not a sufferer (
loog?only suffered two days and (
nights. We never realized that j
the end was so neai until about
two hours before ?he was Uken (
iwsy. '
She was 5 years and nine montha
old. She was a aright little sun
beam in her. home. On the Sun
day before her death she was so
busy hefping her mother to get
ready to go to Sunday School,
where she loved to go so well.
Yes, she is gone but not forgot
ten. Her little memory yill lin
ger with us until that meeting,
where there will be no parting,
The funeral was conducted by
Rev- R. B. Lineberry in Christian
Harbor flai-list Qhurch. After
^he funeral services, her form v in
i handsome little white oasket was
laid sway in ihe cemetery to await
ibe resurrection mord. The many,
little flowers that were placed on
the little casket was a token of
liow she was loved. Dear little
Veronw, we loved yoy well, but
Jeaus loved you best.

LET THE FRESH AIR IN

State Board of Health Advises aa I
Opra-Window Policy in order to '
Decreaae the Winter Death Rate J
?Second Bulletin Says III Kept '
TeetL Reaulta into Rheumatism?
Timely Advice to Everybody.
A bulletin tr< in the S'.ate Board
of Health puts ua in uiicd Hgain
that as our window* go down and
stay down thia winter, our death
rate will go up and 8tuy up. The
diseases mentioned aa thoae whose
spread end severity are moat af
fected by foul air and indoor liv
ing are tuberculosis, diphtheria,
meaalea, scarlet fever, whipping
cough, pneumonia, influenza
and all aorta of infectious colds.
And yet, aa;, a the buletin, these
diseases are not to be the common
fate of all during the winter
months, no more than was typhoid
or malarial fever the lot of all
during the summer. People know
how to prevent them. They know
that living a abulia li fe without
exercise or fresh air, or without
observing temperate living habits
u to eating, sleeping, exercising,
bathing predisposes one to any of
these diseases. They know also,
that these diseases, one and all are
spread directly by sneezing,
soughing and spitting and that to
ivoid the disease is to avoid the
careless sneezer, cougher or spit- ~
ter. in addition to this, it is j
urged that aunslnne and fresh air 1
be admitted into the home, esptc- J
ially into" the sleeping, living and J
working rooms. The universal /
remedy for foul air disease? is <
fresh air day and night. 1
A few years ago when attention (
was first called to the fact that ^
rheumatism was often caused by 4
defective teeth, it was something ~
new even to the medical profes
sion. However, modern medicine <?
soon accepted the fact, the truth , (
?f the statement having been well
tested, and is now much concerned ''
with the prevention of disease at 1 >
this source. The laity too are ap- i >
;epting the fact and are waking ,,
up to the seriousness of its mean
ing. - - i>
That a decayed tooth could cause
inytbing so serious as joint rheu- 1'
natiBm was hard to believe, so in- I >
vestigatious were made to see just
how the teeh, tonsils, gums and 1'
utlier parts of the mouth when 1?
diseased a fleeted the different parts
af the body. The results of the 1'
investigations have been astonish- "
ing. Tt was found that oral infec- ?
tiuns, such as bad teeth, diseased *
tonsils and suppurating gums, ''
:aused by Rigg's disease or ' ab- O
icesso.s, not only cause muscle and
joint rheumatism, but kidney
troubles, nephritis or Brights dis- ?
sase, heart insectkms, stomach ul
;ers, disease of the blood vessels,
glandular .nfections, skin disease,
including boils, and various in- 1
lections of the nervous system
such as neuritis, neuralgias and V
sciatica. ?>
Bad teeth are no longer the in
nocent deformities they were once
thought to be. They disqualify
men for the army. chitdrefT for
?chool and men and womeu for a
long useful life. Besides harbor
ing disease germs in their cavities,
they binder the proper chpwing of
$he food, which in turn hinders
proper digestion, and nutrition
Like diseased tonsils and spongy
pus-fortnmg gums, ther create
pulsions that are devitalising and
deadly to the other members of
the body.
