SEMBLAGE OF FIRST LAW MAK
iNQ BODY. v
On Saturday at 2:30 P. M. June
11th. it is the purpose of the Sir
Walter Raleigh Chapter, Daughters,
of the Revolution, which Chapter is
composed of a mere handful of patri
otic women of this city, to un.eil
at Nixonton, N. C, with appropriate
exuciss, a modest tablet to mark ti:e
eire where the Fir3t Albemar'.? As
sembly was held, Fetruary 6th. 1005
To this simple ceremony the pdbiic
is ro dially invited, and it appear j to
be an occasion which should ai.pal
v
strcngly to -the native born elemcn
of our people. The principal objects
of the Society of the Daughters of the
Revolution as stated in their consti
tution are: "To perpetuate the patri
otic spirit of the men and women who
achieved American Independence, to
commemorate prominent events con
nected with the War of the Revolu
tion, to collect, publish and preserve
the rolls, records and historical doc
aments relating to that period; to en
courage the study of the country's
history, and to promote sentiments
of friendship and common interest
among the members of the society
In pursuance of these avowed ideals
the Daughters of our local chapter
have provided and erected this mem
orial tablet. In itself, a simple stone,
lacking ornate adornment or impos
ing dimensions, the future traveler
might not idly pass it by ignorant of its
really significant import. Howevex,
pausing to regard the meritorious ef
forts of "Our Daughters'' among
whom may be numbered our wives and
our sweethearts also, it may be re
marked, without prejudice, that their
efforts are directed in a worthy cause,
The 20th Century, so different from
the epoch commemorated in this par
ticular instance, will mark to most of
us the acme of acheivement with its
high strung life calls us all for every
earnest endeavor to keep apace of
its rapid progress. Nevertheless our
forebears in their simpler and un
doubtedly happier existence in 1065, at
the village of Nixonton were none
the less giants of their time and with
their sturdy integrity and simple mode
f existence laid the foundation of
success for this present generation.
We commend this action on the part
f the ladies of this society and un
derstand that they purpose to con
tinue this commemorative work in
other fields. Such action must event
ually prove an inspiration to our boys
girls and we wish them all suc
cess in the complete execution of
the object of their organization.
CHILDREN'S DAY
instead of the regular services at
the First Methodist church next
Sunday, Children's Day Exercises will
b held.
A very pleasing program will be
rendered on this occasion, and the
public is cordially invited to attend.

GOVERNOR KITCHIN
At the Big Educational
chese Last Monday,
With Delight.
Manteo, N. C, June 8th. Last
Monday was a great day for the peo
ple of Roanoke Island and Dare Coun
ty. Governor Kitchin was our guest
and his presence among us was a
great power for educational progress.
His visit and great' speeches at Wan
chese and Manteo have fired the peo
pie with an enthusiasm that can
hardly be imagined, much less de
scribed .
The occasion of the Governor's com
ing among us was a big educational
rally and pic-nic last Monday to mark
the close of the spring term of the
Wanchese High school of which
Hon. B. G. Crisp has been the able
head during the spring term
When the plan to have Governor
Kitchin to visit this section and to
make an address at the closing, the
pic-nic was to be an exclusive event
for the people of the Wanchese sec
tion, but, when it was learned that
Mr. Kitchin could only stay one day,
it was decided to make - it a public
gathering and the entire county was
invited to turn out and hear the
matchless orator and to help enter
tain him .
Hon. 3. G. Crisp and party of prom
inent Dare Countyx citizens went to
Elizabeth City last Sunday morning
on the yacht Gretchen for tke pur
pose of meeting the governor. They
brough him to Manteo, arriving here
about 7 o'clock p. m. The weather
was stormy and the passage was a
rough one, but the governor stood
the. rough seas well, and showed that
he is quite a seaman.
Monday morning the governor was
taken to the Southend of the Island
where he was met with carriages and
was aken to the church, where the
exercises were held.
The Manteo Cornet Band went
down and furnished excellent music
for the occasion.
In spite of the very inclement
weather and the unfavorable condi
tions, a large crowd had assembled
and by the time that the governor
arrived the Targe church edifice was
literally packed with an anxious, eager
audience determined to hear the dis
tinguished speaker and statesman.
County Superindent Dr. W. B.
Fearing presided over the exercises.
The band discoursed some excellent
selections and then short addresses
were made by Dr. W. B. Fearing,
Rev. A Jl Parker, Rev. A. W.
Price and Hon. B. G. Crisp. Inter
spersing these short talks, the student
of the Wanchese high school render
ed a very interesting program.
The governor was introduced to his
interested audience at 1:40 p. m.. and
for more than an hour he held it spell
bbund with (his matchless flow of

MADE GREAT SPEECH
Rally and Picnic at Wan
Great Crowd Heard Him
oratory. No such a speech has been
heard on Roanoke Island in many a
day. It was a masterly effort in
which the distinguished speaker
eclipsed his former efforts at oratory.
His audience was charmed and de
lighted His address created the- greaV
est enthusiasm for educational pro
gress and under the inspiration of
the magic spell of his great speech
education will take yet a long stride
forward in Dare County.
At the conclusion of his speech,
the weather had moderated so as to
make the open air inhabitable. Din
ner and a sumptuous one too was
spread on long tables prepared for the
occasion and the great crowd of vis
itors was invited to join in the feast,
which they did with out a second
invitation to the delight of the hos
pital hosts and to the satisfaction of
their inner man. The dinner was an
elaborate one consisting of all the
good things that the season and coun
try affords, prepared by the splendid
house wives of Roanoke Island, who
know exactly how to cater to the pal
ates of hungry guests. The dinner
would easily have fed two thousand
people and had the weather been
good, the preparations would not
have been amiss, for the people would
have been there.
Late in the afteVnoon, the governor
took leave of his hospital hosts and
returned to manteo, wnere at mgui,
he made an address in the court
house before a thronged audience, in
, tile exercises presenting a flag ana
bible to the Manteo Gtaded school
on the part of the Council of the
Jr. O. U. A. M of that town This
speech was a brilliant effort and was
greatly enjoyed by the large audi
ence. At five o'clock Tuesday morning,
Governor Kitchin took leave of the
historic old Island which had so joy
ously entertained him for a day,
boarded the yacht Cretchen and de
parted for Elizabeth City, enroute to
Raleigh, where pressing official duties
called him, causing him to forgo ling
ering by the seaside for a day longer.
SCARED INTO SOUND HEALTH

troubled with my kidneys and blad

alarmed at my condition. I suffered

BEER SALOONS
BOB UP AGAIN
Columbia
Hotel
Burned
Hotel Scuppernong of Columbia,
N. C, was destroyed by fire at an
early hour last Sunday morning.
The fire originated in the kitchin
and before it was discovered, the
flames had gained such head-way
that the budding was burned down.
The hose from Branning's Mill was
brought into use and with the aid
of fire fighters the fire was confined
to this one building, although, at times
the near-by buildings were in great
danger .
The Farmers and Merchants Bank
of Columbia occupied a part of the
first floor and its quarters were aso
destroyed .
The hotel was a brick structure,
located on Main street. It was built
by Spruill Brothers many years ago
and was used tty them for many years
as a store building.
A few year ago, it was purchased
of the Spruill heirs and was rebuilt,
beiftg, converted into a hotel. -
Dogs Are
Going To
Be Muzzled
The board of Aldermen woke up
to the dangers of thi dog nuisance
in this city and Monday night
rasd ao ' rVjance will rfiu
the dangers tbat arise fror.-? trve tiuis-
The City Fathers enacted an or
dinance the purpose of which is to
compel the owners of all dogs in this
city to muzzle them when allowed
off the premises Now, in a few days
it will be no uncomon sight to see
the dogs travelling around the streets
with their head-gear properly ad
justed. This is a sensible ordinance. It
ought to have been enacted years
aero. The aldermen hava Houp the
sentimental
pseudo.humanitarian need to get t0
bawling about cruelty, to animals for
the wearing of a dog muzzle does not
hurt a dog the least bit; and, as soon
as he learns that its the fashion, he
will be proud of his muzzle and will
be delighted to wear it because all
other dogs will be doing the same.
Unmuzzled and unrestrained dogs,
in this city have got to be a regular
nuisance further more, they, endanger
life, who can tell when a mangy,
worthless cur is going to develop
rabies and bite a score of people with
fearful results? But with a dog's nose
in a proper muzzle he is helpless to
bite, and therefore, can do no dam
age. It is a wise safe ard to the pub
lic, and at the same time, it does
not hurt the dog.
j B? a11 means let this ordlnance be
: carried, out in run effect, witn tavors
to no man or no man's dogs. If a
dog is caught on the! street without
his muzzle properly adjusted, let the
ordinance make it compulsory upon
the first policeman, who meets that
dog, to kill it regardless of who it
offends. ',

TWO GET LICENSES TO OPEN UP
BUSINESS. THE PEOPLE OP
POSE TO NEAR BEER SALOON?
i
The County Commissioners, held a
regular meeting last Monday. Bus
iness of a routine nature was trans
acted .
Messrs. N. G. Grandy. and E. F.
Lamb were appointed delegates to
the Good Road Convention which met
at Wrightsville Beach this week.
The finance committee appeared be
fore the board and reported that it
had settled with Sheriff Reid for all
taxes of the year of 1909.
The taxes for the year 1910 was
levied. The per centage levied is the
same as that levied last year. ,
The near beer saloons bobbed up
again at this meeting of the board.
After having been quiet for some
time. Brinson and Blount, two form
er near beer saloonists, who have
operated in this city, applied for
County licenses and the same was
granted. The territory in which these
saloons shall be operated is that
proscribed by the city ordinance,
which imposes a five hundred dollar
tax. The previlege to operate near
beer saloons in the county, out side
of the city, limits was refused by
the board.
These near beer saloons are a pest
to the city, and for the past two
months the people of the town have
been eongratnlating themselves f
their easy riddance, now have their
dreams rudely awakened. It's tq be
hoped by the people of the town that
the board of Aldermen will yet find
some way to circumvent these objec
tionable saloons and keep them out
of business.
WONT TAKE
The attention of the thoughtful
advertisers is called to an article in
this issue in which the destribution
of hand-bills and circulars is discuss
ed in a very sensible manner.
The writer of the article has ob
served the situation quite correctly.
We, too, have made observation at
the Norfolk and Southern depot right
here in this city during the past
month or two. We have watched the
small boy attempt to place in the
hands of the passengers who had
alighted from the train, circulars and
cards. We have seen them, visitors
f;pr the most part refuse to take
them, and the majority of the few
who took them throw them down
without ever reading them. Ask that
boy who distributes your circulars
about this. If he is not afraid to
tell you the truth, he will tell you
that he has a hard time getting those
circulars off on the people.
Newspaper advertising is the only
logical way to advertise.
