This was served with mayonnaise and accompanied by Mb. lilt. anl-inf? .ind pickle The second course was the most re freshing nougat cream with cake; and tlie. last course was conventional after tllnner coffee and cheese sandwiches.

The study circle of the Methodist Woman's Missionary Society met Men-' day afternoon with Mr?._M. C. Pleas ants. Very attractive written invita tions suggestive of the subject. Japan wepe issued. They were written in Japanese by Mrti. Aki Makamura, a Japanese student of Louisburg Col lege; but. as the recipients were not likely to be able to read Japanese an English translation was written in vertical lines read from left to right fn Japanese style as follows: "By this you are asked to my study circle, 3o bid your Jlnriksha stop at my gate." On the reverse side of the card were written the time and place, Monday 3 30 p. m. Mrs. M. C. Pleasants. The rooms with their beautiful dec orations transported the Imaginative at once into the flowery kingdom. L'ranches of fruit trees in combination with rose-pink blossoms giving the ef fect of the Japanese cherry blossom wer? entwined' artistically in and out| of the stair railing, banked over the mantel and clustered around the elec trolier, and large jars of chrysanthe mums, which Is the national flower of Japim were tastefully arranged at dif ferent places. Those two flowers mean so much to the beauty-loving I people of Nippon that wnen the flrst cherry-blossoms open that day is made a national holiday and alt work ceases chile the nation celebrates the re'urn of spring. The presence of numerous curios from Japan helped to carry the scheme still further. "O Zion Ha^te" was sung as the open log hymn. The devotional exercises were conducted by Miss Sallle Betts. Mrs. D. E. McKinne lead in prayer. Mrs. Makamura, wearing the costume of her native land, sang as solos two Japanese hymns. Mrs. Pleasants gave a map study of old Japan up to the time of Commo dore Perry's memorable trip to that country. The next number on the program wrfs a monologue, "Japan's buMen." This was effectively given by Mrs. J. A. Hodges tn the costume of Japan. The monologue was followed by a report of the mission work In Japan given by Mrs. Ernest F"urgurson, who very ably impersonated a Japanese missionary. An interesting discus sion of the chapter "Christianity's Op portunity In Japan" was lead by Mrs. F. B. McKinne. MYs. O. F. Smith gate an able talk on "Some Odd Cus toms of Japan," or rather what seem odd customs to us, for of course ours seem equally odd to them. The program closed with hymn and prayer. Mesdaaes Makahura anr Hodge.1 Misses Sutton and lx*an. all wearing Japanese dresses served hot tea, mar guerites and stulted dates. Each guest was presented with a dainty Ja panese fan as ? momento of this de lightful meeting.

INDUSTRIAL REHABILITATION As a part of the state program of In dustrial Rehabilitation being conduct ed by the State Department of Educa tion an industrial class for the adult blind of the state has recently been opened at the new Wilson County Home. Here blind men frotir any part of the state beyond the age at which ttrey can culei the State 3?jl.ool fur On Blind will be taught such trades as ma| tress making, chair caning and basket* ry, as well as reading by raised p rini writing and typewriting. The r-nr pose Is to rehabilitate those who hare lost their sight after "maturity, Shd make them Independent citizens. ? The class has no connection wllh Ihc County _Home. ft ta quartered there because ot tfie excellent accommoda tions furnished to the blmd people The men lire and are taught In a mod ern. steam heated brick building. The county Is paid for the use* of the riom and the board ot the men by the State Department. The Class la doing ?"rfrt The men whe have already enroAyi are very happy and contented and t*ak ing excellent progress. . As m?gt ot the instruction Is necessarily individ ual, only a small number of men car be accommodated, however, there is still room for a few more men. This is an exceptional opportunity for those unfortunate reaidents of our state who have lost their sight and be. cause of their misfortune are unable to earn a livelihood. Those desiring further information regarding the school or wishing to enter should in form any County Superintendent of Public Welfare or Mr. H. L. Stanton. tl)e State Superintendent of Industrial Rehabilitation at Raleigh. vocational training for the blind Is 1-ut one phase of the State Rehabilita tion work. Men, women and child ren of employable a?e. handicapped by various types of disabilities resulting from accident, disease, or of congeni tal nature, are being aided in their struggle to become independent, self supporting and -?elf respecting nitiseiu by this Department. SEEK CONFERENCE IN ADVANCE To save themselves tim$ and trou ble. am*. In many cases, unnecessary expenditures; taxpayers having biisi ness with the Income tax unit of the Bureau of Internal Revenue at Wash ington and desiring conference with officials in connection therewith. r?re advised to ask for such conference in advance. A'number of taxr*ayers and thoir representatives appear at the income tax unit without appolntmei<t. and ask immediate hearings. Frequently th? conference cannot be held at once for the reaion that the papers and Infor mation relating to the said case must be assembled or the proper official may be otherwise engaged. The re sult is a delay of a day or two. and added cost to the taxpayer in the way of hotel bills, etc. Requests for conference should he addressed to the Commissioner of In ternal Revenue. Washington. D. C. together with a statement of all the facts In connection with the cases, and the purpose for which it Is desired. The taxpayer will be informed by let ter or telegram of the date appointed for the confidence. . _ y If we corraled the horse-power wast ed running Congress It would be worth more than Muscle Shoals.

And one of us, Laklngton? you devil in human form?Is going In to that bath." "But the bath means death," shrieked Laklngton?"death In agony." "That will be unfortunate for the ?'ho goeg in," gaid taking a step toward him. "You would murder mer' half sobbeii the terrified man. Lnklngioo; Tm pot going to murder yon." A gleam of hope came into the other's eyes.

At lasv he backed in to the edge of the bath and his strug gles redoubled. But still there was no mercy on the soldier's face, and he felt himself being forced farther and farther over the liquid until he was only held ffroui falling into it by Druin mond's grip on his throat. Then, Just before the grip relaxed and he went under, the soMier spoke oncer "Henry I>akington," he said, "the retribution Is just." Drumruond sprang back, and the liquid closed over the wretched man's head. But only for a second. With a dreadful cry Laklngton leaped out, and even Drummond felt a momentary qualm of pity. For the criminal's clothes were already burnt through to the skin, and his face?or what was IWt of It?was a shining copper color. Had with agony, he dashed to the door, and flung it open. The four men out side, aghast at the spectacle, recoiled and let him through. And the kindly mercy which I^aklngton had never shown to any one in his life was given to him at the last. Blindly he groped his way up the stairs, and as Drummond got to the <loor the end came. Some one must have put In gear the machinery which Warked on the fifth step, or perhaps It Wps automatic. For suddenly a heavy steel weight revolvtng on an arm whissed out from the wall and struck laklngton behind the neck. Without a sound be fell forward, and the weight, unchecked, clanged suddenly I Bafsa. And thus did the invention of which he was proudest break the ln ?aotWi ewn aeek. Truly, the retriba ttan was Just. . . . "That only leaves Peterson," Barked the American, coming lnte the hall at that moment, and lighting a "That only leave? Peterson," agreed Drummond.

The great est difficulty I have haff tn contend" With as tyiantnHni> ?.nrt Health offi cer is a want of information and know Iedge of Health laws. The law does not excuse for ignorance ror the State Health and County Health Boards hold that it Is the duty of all to inform themselves. The law positively states fhat every contagious and infectious disease or a suspicion or rt, must be reported. Every Doctor, Teacher, House holder and every one else must report to the Quarantine officer within twelve hours after knowlecge or sus picion ot any and every case, then the Quarantine officer, witaln the same period of time must fill out a card and transcribe every item on 4t to his re cord book and send the card to the State Board ot Health at Haleigh.
