Memories of Pleasant Recollections
Came Back to This Reporter
As He Sat In That
Beautiful Edifice
Yesterday.
By the merest chance this re
poiter happened to be present at the
Methodist church in Princeton Sun
day afternoon to witness the chil
dren's day exercises of the Sunday
School.
The church inside was very hand
somely decorated for the occasion
and every available seat in the neat
and cozy edifice was occupied. Not
only were the townspeople present,
but a number of parents and children
from the surrounding country were
present also.
The exercises would have done
credit to any Sunday School in the
country. The children were all neat
ly dressed and their bright faces, as
each appeared in the chancel and re
cited the lines assigned them, must
have caused the hearts of their pa
rents to swell with pride. The
promptness with which each child
responded to their parts and the
manner in which they delivered
their short recitations, both in prose
and poetry, showed that they had re
ceived excellent training from some
source and reflected the highest
credit, both on the speaker and the
teacher.
As the reporter sat and watched
the exercises a flood of pleasant recol
lections came rolling by. This is the
same church in which we received
our Sunday school training and the
teachers in charge last Sunday were
the same, with one or two exceptions,
that were in charge twenty-five years
ago, a time before the Sunday school
quarterlies, now so popular with
teachers and pupils alike, made their
appearance in this section, if they
were printed at all. In those days
the New Testament, with a thin
cover and miserably printed on com
mon paper, was the only book that a
Sunday school scholar had. We re
member well the hard words which
we could not pronounce and which
often caused the teacher some trouble
to call aright. The Biblical names
were not divided by hyphens and
with accent marks as they are in the
Testaments now-a-days. But with
such disadvantages before us the
Sunday school had attractions
enough to draw a crowd and we are
glad to say that we were one of the
crowd. The instruction received and
the impressions then made have
never lei't us. Often when seated in
more pretentious places of worship
memory steal back to the old church
with its bare benches, plain chancel
rail, neatly adorned altar and modest
orsran sitting in one corner all of
which i3 our childhood's ideal place
of worship and will ever remain as
sacred as the words "Mother, Home
and Heaven."
POLITICAL DOTS.

nation of General Miles in 1904.
Breathitt county, Kentucky, should
be annexed and civilized.

DEMAND FOR LABORERS.
With the wholesale introduction
of labor-saving machinery 20 and 30
years ago came a temporary disar
rangement of the world's economic
system whereby there seemed to be
more men than there was work for
them to do. Hence the over-conservative
deplored the advent of ma
chinery and pointed out that the
time would come when everybody
wrould be thrown out of employment
and all but a favored few would
starve to death.
The absurdity of this view was not
plainly evident until within recent
years, although the wiser prophets
saw in machinery nothing less than
the only true solution of the econo
mic riddle the problem of how to
give everybody a plenty when there
is not enough to go 'round.
Ten years ago we had what was
called "the Army of the Unemploy
ed." That army is no more. The
unemployed men of to-day are those
who remain in voluntary idleness,
either in obedience to the mandates
of labor unions or for. other causes.
It is the employer who is clamoring
to-day for workmen, not workmen
who are begging for employment.
All over the globe the cry is for
more men. The industries of the
world have so multiplied and ex
panded that there are not workers
enough to carry them on. In British
South Africa there is such a scarcity
of labor that there is talk of import
ing coolies from China and India.
On the Paciffic coast the shortage of
farm labor is so great that agents
are scouring the country to find those
who will fill the ranks. The scarcity
of farm labor is not confined to that
section alone, but exists all over the J
country. Men have been attracted
to the towns and into the manufac
turing industries which have sprung
up so rapidly during the past few
years, xne situation is tnus com
mented on by the Chicago Drovers'
Journal:
"There are various reasons given
for this scarcity of farm help, but
there is no doubt that the railroads
are responsible in a measure. Some
of the roads are employing a larger
number of men on construction work
and in their shops, but a much larger
number have been taken to new
farming countries. The Illinois Cen
tral alone has induced thousands of
good healthy farmers to take up the
work in the South, where millions
of acres have been developed and are
now developing, and a large number
of people who in past years have
been working for wages are now
down in Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Tennessee and Kentucky,
working on land that will soon be
their own, raising berries, garden
truck, cotton, fine stock and grasses."
"Men more men '." is the cry
which to-day sounds the keynote of
the economic situation. Such a state
of affairs can have but one climax
a general further increase in the price
of all kinds of labor.

ERNEST HAYWOOD IS OUT ON
BAIL. HIS BOND IS
FIXED AT $10,000.
Justices Douglas and Walker Ren
der Their Decision in the
Habeas Corpus Pro
ceedings. A special message to the Aegus
over the Bell Telephone from Ra
leigh, this afternoon, brings the in
lormation that Mr. Ernest Hay
wood, under indictment for the
muider of the late Mr. J.
Ludlow Skinner, in that city
last February, was admitted to
bail by Justices Douglas and Wal

The amount of bail was fixed at
$10,000.
WHAT IS CATARRH?
Hyomei Cures this Common and Dis
agreeable Disease.
Hyomei cures catarrh by the sim
ple method of breathing it into the
air passages and lungs. It kills the
germs of catarrhal poison, heals and
soothes the irritated mucous mem
brane, enters the blood with oxygen
and kills the germs present there, ef
fectually driving this disease from
the system.
If you have any of the following
symptoms, catarrhal germs are at
work somewhere in the mucous
membrane of the nose, throat, bron
chial tubes or tissues of the lungs:
offensive breath
stoppage of the
nose at night
aching of the
body
droppings in the
throat
mouth open
whilesleeping
tickling back of
the palate
formation of
crusts in the
nose
drynt ss of the
throat in the
morning
loss of strength
spasms of cough
ing cough short and
hacking
cough worse
nights and
mornings
loss in vital force
a feeling of tight
dryness of the
nose
pain across tne
eyes
pain in back oi
the head
pain in iront oi
the head
tendency to take
cold
burning pain in
the throat
hawking to clear
the throat
pain in the chest
a cough
stitch in side
losing of flesh
variable appetite
low spirited at
times
raising of frothy
mucous
expectorating
yellow matter
ditficulty in
ness across the
breathing
upper part of
frequent sneezing
huskinessof voice
the chest
.discharge from
the nose
Hyomei will cure the disease, de
stroy activity of all germ life in the
respiratory organs, enrich and purify
the blood with additional ozone, and
after a few days use of this treatment
the majority of these symptoms will
have disappeared. In a few weeks
the cure will be completed
Catarrh or catarrhal colds cannot
exist when Hyomei is used. This is
a strong statement, but J. H. Hill &
Son emphasize it by agreeing to re
fund your money if Hyomei does not
cure.
Clifton, S. C., ' June 7. The

GOLDSBORO LIBRARY.
It Is Steadily Growing In Popular
Favor.
The free circulating library insti
tuted by the Goldsboro Woman's
Club some months ago, and that has
been, indeed, already a success be
yond the first expectations, is now so
generally patronized and its volumes
are so well selected to meet the best
literary taste, as to justify the asser
tion that the library is no longer an
experiment, but is one of Goldsboro's
established and growing institutions
and certainly is it one of the best
possible factors in the progress of our
community towards "Greater Golds
boro." All praise to the Woman's Club
for its untiring efforts, unswerving
purpose and unawed spirit of phil
anthropy which carved its way in
the face of manifold obstacles to the
achievement of success in this under
taking. The library is open every Friday
morning from 9 o'clock to 10:30
o'clock, for the taking out and re
turning of books, and on every vol
ume the rules and regulations gov
erning the circulation are printed, so
that every one may understand just
how long a book can remain out.
We here give the weekly circula
tion of the library for the past four
months showing a steady increase
even during the school months and
it will be greater during the vacation
weeks:

Letter to J. W. Lamb.
Goldsboro, N. C.
Dear Sir: Messrs. Leach man &
Edelin, Grafton, W. Va., had been
selling a paint, which they thought
well of; and this had occurred:
They had sold a customer 18 gal
lons of it to paint his house. A few
years later, they sold the same man
Devoe lead-and-zinc the same num
ber of gallons to paint the same
house. He had 7 gallons left.
The point of the tale is: 11 gallons
Devoe paints an 18-gallon house.
Of course, that isn't all.
Why does 11 gallons Devoe go as
far as 18 gallons of other paint? Be
cause it is all paint, all tru, no
sham, and full measure.
But that isn't all. Devoe lasts
longer. No, no; you haven't got to
wait ten years to find that out. Ten
thousand people know it. We've
got their names. Our agents know
them; they think a heap of Devoe.
There's no difficulty in showing
your townspeople what to expect of
Devoe. $10 will paint a $15 house;
and the paint'll last twice as long.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
P. B. Smith & Yelverton sell our
paint.

ON THE SOUTHERN ROAD
NEAR THIS CITY YES
TERDAY. Mr. J. W. Wilkins' Dray Was Struck
Near Here Yesterday After
noon, Killing His Horse
and Breaking His
Own Leg.
Mr. J. W. Wilkins, who operates
a dray w agon on the streets of this
city, had his horse killed on the
Southern Railroad near Little river
bridge last Friday afternoon and had
his left leg broken just above the
ankle. The accident happened at
the crossing at Weil's brick yard.
Mr. Wilkins was going to the
shingle mill of Mr. A. . T. Griffin.
The train from Raleigh due here at
6 o'clock was a few minutes behind
time. There was a funeral in prog
ress al the colored cemetery. Mr.
Wilkins had been watching the fu
neral and did not see the approach
ing train coming through the covered
bridge until it was in a few feet of
him and when he did see it he be
came excited and got his reins en
tangled. In trying to pull his horse
from the railroad track he pulled
the wrong rein and pulled the animal
on the track just in time for the en
gine to strike it. The horse was kill
ed instantly and terribly mangled.
The front wheels of the wagon were
smashed and Mr. Wilkins was
thrown to the ground, receiving sev
eral bruises on the head and body,
breaking one bone in his hand and
breaking his left leg.
The train was stopped and passen
gers helped to put Mr. Wilkins in a
chair and put him in the baggage
car. He was brought on to the city
and carried to his residence, where
medical aid was summoned.
