HEARTILY ENDORSED. j
Sunday, July 6th, the Weldon
Methodist Church took the most
important step in its history, when
it adopted and used for the first
time an individual communion ser
vice, and we wish to most heartily
endorse the action of the board of
stewards in taking this sieo in the
right direction.
The public cup hium gu. li is
going, and people may as well
awake to the importance of dis
carding it in (he churches as well
as elsewhere. Thisan age of rea
son, and common sense tells us
that it is not right in the sight of
God to take a single cup of wine
and press it to the lips of several
hundred people. Some of these
people may be in ihe last stages of
a disease we dread worse than
death. Others may have sore lips,
others have heavy moustaches. It
is well to lay aside sentiment and
come right down to common sense
in the churches as well as in the
schools, the railroad trains, the
waiting rooms, etc. You cannot
now find a public towel at the
summer resorts. You simply put
a penny in the slot and out conies
a nice, clean, individual sanitary
towel.
Neither is it positively known
that when Christ instituted the last
supper that he presented the same
cup to the disciples. The large
upper room had been prepared
and is it not reasonable to suppose
that there was an individual cup at
each plate? "Likewise after sup
per, He took the cup, and said,
drink ye all of this," just as a
toastmaster at a banquet takes the
cup and says to the guests drink
ye all to this toast.
Christ could easily have said
drink ye, all, ot this, and yet each
disciple could have had his own
cup. But, suppose not, they were
only the twelve and all apparently
hearty, strong men. That was
not like presenting the cup to two
or three hundred people.
Some will argue that this is
bringing Christ down to earth by
using individual service. Well, the
last supper was instituted on earth
and Christ commanded his disci
ples to continue it on earth as a
memorial. It is simply done in
memory of the death and suffer
ings of Christ. The elements are
not changed in anyway. It is still
bread and wine, and it is wholly
erroneous to believe tn.it any
change takes place, and we might
as well look at this service in
broad and common sense way. The
action of the i'eldon Methodist
Church, in adopting the individual
service, will be watched w ith inter
est by other ctmrcnes ana our
opinion is that the day is near at
hand when every church in the
land will adopt the same kind of a
service.

Till-: Stonewall Jackson Monu

Va , has begun a movement for ihe
erection in that city of an equestri
an statue to the great Confederate
leader. In all the years since
Jackson attracted the attention of
the world by his signal service at
the first battle of Manassas, no
equestrian statue in his honor has
been raised in the capital of the
Confederacy. But it has now been
determined that this long-deferred
tribute shall be provided, and that

his or her name and address de

MRS. EMRY DEAD.
Passed Away at her Home at
Shadeland Thursday l unerul
Was Held Triday Afternoon.
Mrs. Hmma J. limry, widow of
of the late Major Thomas L. limry,
died at her home at Shadeland,
formerly the old Lynch place,
Thursday afternoon; aged 6(3
years.
Mrs. 1-mry had been in poor
health for a long lime and had been
having the benefit of the best of
treatment, and all that love could
suggest or money could accom
plish was done for her relief by
her son, Charles R. Entry, who
was her only child.
She was before marriage Miss
limma Spiers, of Reams, Va., and
during her married life she lived
for several years in Richmond, and
also a portion of her lime at Roa
noke Rapids. But the main time
of life after marriage were spent in
Weldon, where she had many
friends who regret to learn of her
death.
I ler home was always noted for
warmhearted hospitality and many
of the old friends of the Weldon
fan s will recall the pleasant days
they spent here as guests of Major
and Mrs. limry.
Several years ago Major Lmry
bought the old Lynch place and
made it an ideal suburban summer
home. It was here that Mrs. lim
ry spent the last days of her life on
earth. Her son was married recent
ly and this was a comfort to her in
l.er last illness to have with her a
devoted son and daughter.
The funeral service took place
h orn her late home Friday after
noon, at half past three o'clock,
thete being a large number of Wel
don and Roanoke Rapids people,
and friends trom various other
sections to attest the high esteem
in which she was held. There
were also many beautiful floral of
ferings. Rev. J. A. ITornaday
conducted the funeral service and
the interment was in the family
square at Cedarwood cemetery.

from the buggy, tore down the
street, tearing the harness all to
pieces, until they got to R. W.

lake one street, and the other an
other street, causing each to take
a different course. This carried

together struck the tree and caused

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
County Hoard Had a Busy Day
Committeemen AppointedAp
portionment Made.
The county board of education
in session Monday made an appor
tionment of $1.25 per capita of
I school population, and decided on
the 27th day of October for the
opening of the public schools of
the county, except consolidated
and graded schools, which are to
open at a time agreed upon by the
superintendents.
The board met ai 1 1 o'clock and
organized by re-electing Dr. A. S.
Harrison, county superintendent
of schools. Dr. Harrison is un
doubtedly one of the most enthu
siastic schoolmen in North Caro
lina and his re-election gives satis
faction to every one. Dr. J. A.
Collins was sworn in as chairman
and W. T. Whitehead, of Enfield,
was sworn in as a member of the
board. W. R. Neville is the other
member, whose time had not ex
pired. I 'pon request of one-fourth of
the free holders of Palmyra town
ship an election was ordered for
special tax for the public schools.
There will be no summer school
for the colored race this year.

STILL SMALL VOICE.
Fewer Penitents "Conscience
Stricken During Past Twelve
Months than in Years Amount
Less Than $.1,000.
Fewer penitents, tortured by the
"Still small voice" confessed and
surrendered "conscience money"
to the Federal government during
the fiscal year 1913 ihan for many
years. The "conscience fund"
received during the 12 months
ended June 60 totaled only $2,
81 4.44, the lowest amount since
1901 and comparable with a
100 year average of $4,200.
That fund is the only official in
dex to scruples, but no treasury
official attempts to explain the de
crease in restitution of money re
ceived from the government by
fraud or error.
During the past 100 years the
government has received consci
ence contributions aggregating
nearly a half million dollars, the
exact figures up to June 30 last
being $434,615.69.
The remarkable fund was estab
lished during President Madison's
administration in I SI I when the
first contribution of $5 was re
ceived. The largest amount ever
received in one year w as $35,886
in 1902, and ihe greatest individ
ual contribution of $ 1 8,669.60 us
made lo the collector of customs in
New York more ihan a decade ago
by mi uii'miuWII pei.iull liu plub-
bably had defrauded the govern
ment of tariff duties.
Treasury officials surround the
fund with a certain degree of sa
credness. Usually the penitent
ends his contribution anonymously
but if he signs his name his secret
is locked in the archives of the
government. It is ihe one place in
the federal establishment w here a
contrite sinner may make confes
sion and amends without the slight
est danger of prosecution.

Want Increased Allowance.
A special from New York, says:
"The Supreme court today re
fused to increase the allowance of
$17,01)1) a year granted to
John Armstrong Chaloner, of Vir
ginia, legally insane in this Slate,
but sane under the laws of Virginia,
where as "Chaloner," he fled after
his escape from Bloomingdale
asylum years ago. His estate here
is valued at more than a million
and a half dollars and he sought to
have his yearly allowance raised
to $33,000."
Mr. Chaloner wanted the allow
ance raised in order to publish his
book. The people of Weldon and
Roanoke Rapids, who know Mr.
Chaloner well, believe that he is
fully competent to manage his own
affairs. The money is his and he
should have it.
LOOK HERE FOR IT.
Many a Weldon Reader Will Be
Interested.
When people read aboui the
cures made by a medicine en
dorsed from far away, it is sur
prising thai they wonder if the
statements are true? But when
they read of cases right here at
home, positive proof is within
their reach, for close investigation
is an easy matter. Read Weldon
endorsement of Doan's Kidney
Rills.
G. W, Tye, Maple Street, Wel
don, N. C, says: "I am glad to
say that I have been benefited by
Doan's Kidney Fills, procured at
Cohen's Drug Store. My kidneys
gave me a great deal of trouble and
I had pains through my loins. Af
ter taking Doan's Kidney Pills all
these aches and pains disappeared
and the trouble with my kidneys
became a thing of the past."
Mr. Tye is only one of many
Weldon people who have grateful
ly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills.
If your back aches if your kid
neys bother you, don't simply ask
for a kidney remedy ask distinct
ly for Doan's Kidney Pills, the
same that Mr. Tye had the rem
edy backed by home testimony.
