be made would be in appropriations

the only practical one looking to a

relief from cutting down military
expenses does not seem to be in

CATARRH CAN NOT BE CURED
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a local disease, greatly influenced by
constitutional conditions, and in order
to cure it you must take an internal
remedy. Hall's Catarrh Medicine is
taken internally and acts thru the blood
on the mucous surfaces of the system.
Hall's Catarrh Medicine was prescribed
by one of the best physiciacs in this
country for years. It is composed of
some ol the best tonics known, com
bined with some of the brst blood puri
fiers. The perfeet combination of the
U'rUieuui m hall's Catarrh Medicine
is what produces such wonderful re
sults in catarrhal conditions.

Realizing the urgent need For
a more comfortable home fur the
aged and infirm wards of ihe coun
ty, a goodly number uf the "new
citizens" (rum several townships
made a visii to the Hoard of Com
missioners in session ui Halifax on
Monday, December 5
The delegjnon was most cour
teously received and given an in
terested and sympathetic hearing.
' Mrs. U'yche, of Roanoke Rapids,
presented ihe petition which was
published in the Roanoke Rapids
Herald of Dec. 3rd, which a large
number of citizens had embraced
the opportunity, thereby attesting
to their hearty approval of ihe
movement. Mrs. J. A. Johnston,
President of the Woman's Club,
presenting the following petition :
To the Honorable Board of Coun
ty Commissioners.
We, the representatives of the
following organizations, of Wel
don, The Woman's Club, The
Book Club, The Thursday After-1
noon Club, The Junius Daniel
Chapter of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy, The Christian
Temperance Union and Church
Societies do respectfully request
thai immediate steps be taken to
better the conditions of the Coun
ty Home, which, in its present
stale, is a reproach to the County.
We further request that a matron
be employed, whose duty it shall
be to see that the buildings are
kept in a sanitary condition, and
wholesome and nourishing food
and comfortable clothing provided
for the inmates.
We urge that a suitable location
be secured on which at the earliest
possible date a modern home be
erected, which shall be adequately
equipped and efficiently managed.
We recommend that a Visiting
Committee, consisting of three
women, be appointed by the Coun
ty Commissioners; these, with the
County Commissioners, to consti
tute a Board of Supervisors for
said Home.
Respectfully submitted.
To this was affixed the signatures
of representatives from each of the
above-mentioned organizations.
Mr. George C. Green, county
attorney, in behalf of the Board,
stated that they fully realized the
need and for two years had been
considering the establing of a new
home, but had been unable to se
cure suitable location.
In response to the petitions pre
sented by the Weldon delegates
a Board of Visitors, consisting of
the following ladies to serve for a
term of two years was appointed:
Mrs. J. M. Jackson, of Roanoke
Rapids; Mrs. J. A. Johnston, of
Weldon, and Mrs. S. M. Gary, of
Halifax. This committee was also
instructed to find a suitable location
for the home, and report to the
Board on the first Monday in Jan
uary. It is hoped that at an early
date we may have a building which
will not only be a credit to the
county, but by its accessibility may
afford an opportunity for those so
desiring to bring cheer and com
fort into the lives of ihe inmates.
Over fifty years ago a young
Dhyaiciao practiced widely in a
rural district and became famoua
for hit uniform euecvsa In th
curing of disease. This was Dr.
Pierce, who afterwards estab
lished himaelf in Buffalo, N. Y..
and placed one of hit prescriptions,
which he called "Golden-Medical
Discovery," in the drug stores of
the United State to that the pub
lie could easily obtain this very
remarkable tonic, corrective and
blood -maker. Dr. Pierce manu
factured this "Discovery" from,
roots and barks corrective
remedy, the ingredients of which
nature had put in the fields and
forests, for keeping us healthy.
Few folks or families now living
have not at sometime or other used
this "Golden Medical Discovery"
for the stomach, liver and heart
Over twenty -four million bottles
of this tonic and blood remedy
have been sold In this country.

HIGHER EDUCATION.
The State of North Carolina has
one gigantic task before it in the
immediate future. If it is to retain
its title as one of the great, pro
gressive states of the union it must
at once set itself to the task of
building an adequate system of
higher education. Higher educa
tion has broken down in North
Carolina. There never was a time
when trained leadership was so
much in demand; there never was
a time when young men and young
women were so eager to secure
training; and, there never was a
lime when the educational insmu
lions ot norm Carolina were so
helpless in meeting ihii need. The
co!!c;:s of ilic State are overcrowd
ed. At lean two thousand five
hundred North Carolina young
men and young women were re
fused admission in our university
and colleges this autumn. No
State could be proud of this fact.
Of course the State should be
proud to know that its sons and
daughters are seeking education.
but it must be a matter of shame to
know that such education cannot
be provided by the State.
The challenge seems clear,
Nonh Carolina has wealth. This
State is as capable of furnishing
education to its people as any State
in the Jnion. The people want
that education. The only question
which now remains is this: Do
the citizens of North Carolina pos
sess the sentiment and the will to
translate wealth into terms ot ever
lasting values? N. C. Community

HUMOR K8QUE
A Photoplay Featuring Alma Rubens
THK sordid clatter of the New York Ghetto. A tittle lad there, hug
ging an old violin A mother, her soul aflame, watching, Riving,
dreaming, as the hard years pass. A radiant girl waning. At last,
fame! U'ealth ! The appLiuse of countless, crowding thousands for
"the master of ihem all." One night, a gala free concert to his own
of the great East Side. '-Humoreque!" they cried. And he played
it in farewell played it with a breaking heart, then smiling, flung his
career and his wondrous an away. Some called him "Fool!" Not all.
You will know why when you see the end.
THE SONG in a mother's heart made visible; the dream of a moth
er's life come true. A melody of love and tears and laughter
played silently on the screen.
