I ICE PLANT IN SIGHT.
FOR THE MANUFACTURING OF
ICE IN LOUISBURG.
f'?
To be Erected In the near Future
by One of Loulsburgr's
Most Successful Citizens.
Arrangeraentg'Being Made.
The fact that Louisburg is to have a
plant for manufacturing ice in the near
future, is becoming more and more.'"*
reality as time passes. From information
received yesterday morning Mr. P.
f A. Keavis, I-oq^burg's'most successful
and popular broker, will begin the preliminary
arrangments for installing a
plant of this kind in the lower rooms
of his storage house near the depot at
once. The plant will probably be of a
ten tons capacity and he will see that
everybody in Louisburg and vicinity
can get ice next season without having
%j face an ice famine as has been
the case this summer. Mr. Reavix is
a man of energy and good judgment,
and it goes without saying, to those
who know him, that he will make it
a success. Let everybody rally to the
movement with the necessary assurance
as will insure a success.
Married.
At the home of the brides father, D.
T. Fuller, near town on Monday afternoon,
Miss Annie Fuller and Mr. Ferrel
Parrish were happily married in the
presence of a number of intimate friends.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
s M. Stamps. The bride is the charming
daughter'of Mr. D. T. Fuller, one of
Franklin's most successful planters and
the o room is a very popular and successful
young man of Sedar Rock township.
Thev have the congratulations of a
number of friends.
Delightfully Entertained.
A very inviting place .for children on
a warm summer afternoon is "Green
.Hill," Mr. S. C, Vann'acountry place,
two miles from Franklinton. Last
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock the
"Kings Herald's," a Junior Missionary
Band of the Methodist ohurch, thirtyeight
in number, drove out in wagons
and spent a very delightful afternoon.
The amusements were games swimming
and boating. Just as the sun was
setting Vhey turned their faces homeward,
expressing a wish for "many
happy returns."
Morehead Camp Glenn Encamp
ment 3rd Regiment N. C.
N. G. July 10-17.
On July 9th 6 p. m? a speoial train
left Louisburg conveying Co. D., (Louisburg
Rilles) to Franklinton to connect
with the military train carrying
the i '.Soldier boys" of the 3rd Regiment
to Camp Glenn. No special incident^
occurred before reaching camp except
the greetings exchanged by boys of the
different companies as they took the
train at stations on the way and they
were all happy and feeling fine when
the train reached Camp Glenn. But it
Vsarl In nAm? ? whfln IttAV lonl'dH nut ami
saw that the tents had to be put up, all
the effects of the loss of a night's sleep
came upon them. But as is usually the
case they were "on to the job" and Co.
D? was the first company in the Regiment
to drive the last stob and "get
busy" about break fast. Our company
was ordered to be on the firing line at
6 a. m., where they reported, and atter
shooting on the 200, 300 and 500 yard
ranges qualified 11 marksmen whWR put
only two companies ahead of us. The
next day or Wednesday our company
was orderedjuid reported "in the pit"
at 6 a. m , and worked' hard until their
duty was over. Thursday our battallion
had drill,demonstrating the maneouvers
that we were to execute the next day.
Friday came and with it a day of labors
for our surgeons. For most of the ailments
that had not been treated before
seemed to grow so serious at that time
that it was absolutely essential that
thev be looked after. But with the
threats of castor oil and amputating a
few limbs the boys were all soon in line
and on the march to Crab Point-^neaT
where the battle took place.From 9 a. m.
to 3 p. m., should a stranger hare passed
through that section, he would have
been convinced that some of those great
generals of ancient times had been re
aurrected and were fighting with the
benefit of their experience and the
knowledge of Modern warfare. During
> this march and these maneouvers out
men never "figged'" tut each one
~ executed his duty like a man.- The

was present. Their remarks were, indeed,
flattering. The personnel of Co.
D., is as b3o<1 as any company in the
State guard. Our men knew how to
do the work, went on and did it and we
have not a single word for the boys except
praise. It Is true that occasionally
a few unpleasant things came up, nut
they were Of no consequence. With
the efforts of the men, officers and
friends of Co. D? we hope to see it superior
to any other company in the 8rd
Regiment when we go in eimp in 1912.
The social and fun side was not entirely
omitted. Some went to Morehead and
Beahfort and were entertained by some
of the "Fairest" of those places?others
found surf bathing pleasant, while
many proved themselves to be fishermen
of the Capt. Raney kind. A few
of our company joined "Co. 8" and occasionally
a corporal's guard would
have a hard time trying to arrest-an
innocent private.
We wish to make mention of the excellent
work done by the officers of our
company and especially^ to 1st. Sergt.
Hill. We realize that his positron is a
hard one to fill and more dissatisfaction
arises frontal-fair proportionment
of the duties" from that office. He
handled it in such a manner that he
kept harmony among his men.
To those whom we looked to for appeasing
our appetite we wish to take
off our hats. There hasn't been nor
will there be in Camp Gleun a company
who will have a better bill of fare than
Co. D. had. A Friend.
MllilonB Educated by Tuberculosis
Exhibits
Exhibitions, showing in graphic form
the prevention of consumption, have
been Shown in every state in the United
States, except Nevada, Arizona, New
Mexico, and Wyoming, and also in
most of the Canadian Provinces, and in
Mexico, Poto Rico, and Cuba, according
to a bulletin issued today by the
National Association for tho Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis. The bulletin
also shows that 25 states and 16
cities have permanent and traveling exhibits
besides die two operated by the
National Association itself, the total
number of such displays being over 2U0,
'including about 150 small scho jl exhibits.
The first tuberculosis exhibit in
America was shown by the Maryland
TuberAlosis Commission in January,
1904. In.1906 there were four such exhibits.
Today practically all of the
larger cities of the country have such
displays, and in twenty-five states comprehensive
campaigns have been carried
on with them. These exhibits are visited
annually by millions of people.
The American Tuberculosis Exhibition
of the National Association is completing
six years of continuous service;
during which time it has been shown
under three flags, in the United States,
Mexico and Canada, and he's been displayed
in 21 states,, including every
Southern State east of the Mississippi,
Except West Virginia, Maryland, and
Delaware The Western Tuberculosis
Exhibit of the .National Association,
just closing its season in Butte. Montana
has been shown in Illinois, Kansas,
Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma,
Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and
Montano.
As a result of the general educational
campaign through the various exhibitions
on tuberculosis, millions of pieces
of literature have neen distributed;
millions of people shown, how to prevent
consumption; and several states
and cities have been roused to take
legislative action against this disease.

North Carolina ensign, Robert S.
Young, Jr., who was attached to the

and who mysteriously disappeared
leaving a suicide note, all theories
that he is still alive are exploded

moved for an earlier trial but according

the court was of the opinioq. that

Washington, July 17.?Following the
hot wave that recently brought death

high barometric pressure over the interior
of Canada and Alaska, and relatively
low pressure in the Atlantic
ocean, the conditions that will usher in
a cool wave.

itself by small bloodshot stains on the

death within a few days after the first

a number of1-victims in Mitchell county,
one of whom was Dr. F. P. Slagle.
' Dr. Charles Buchanan, a prominent

Raleigh, July 17.?After the Wake
county commissioners and the sounty
board of health have failed to get together
on the matter of a salary for a
county physician, the board of- health
wanting- all of a proposed $2,600 salary
for Dr. McCullerB to be paid out of the
general county fund and the commia
sioners insisting that the school fund
should bear a good part of this expense,
since the,, physician must give much
time to Sdhool matters, and forcing Dr
McCullers to resign, secretary of the
state board of health reappoints him
under the law and there will be an effort
to force an adjustment between the
commissioners and the school board as
to the $2,600 salary. The law provides
that the secretary of the state board
may appoint and name the salary in
the event the authorities of any county
are unable to get together on this matter.
