But, you know, Senator Tom

Another sign of returning san

Now that Ireland has self gov

DODQINO.
If you want to rise to the top in
yoHr business or your line of work,
you must have the quality of ac
cepting responsibility instead ol
evading it.
The man with a tendency to
"pass the buck" usually finds that
his ladder of success has but one
rung.
Bus ness stand for almost any
thing from a man who has the
courage to say, "yes, that's my
fault. ' But I won't make this mis

The man who attempts to place
Ihe blame for his mistakes or
shortcomings upon other people
or upon existing conditions will
never get very far. .
There is no large place, in the
world for the man who dodges or
tot the buck.

WOMEN AS JURORS.
Women jurois are superior to
men jurors in dispensing justice.
This is the conclusion reached by
a Minneapolis judge after an in
vestigation into the work of wo
(iien jurors in various pans of the
country.
He has also found out that hand
some men do not affect jurors'
judgment as much a pretty wo
men do men jurors; that Women
jurors are not so prejudiced against
corporaiions as men, and that wo
men jurors almost always agne
with each other but are frequently
lined up against their male asso
ciates, ' "
It will not be long until women
are serving as jurors in every
State, and the sooner the better.
Spellbinding among criminal
lawyers will continue to paint their
clients will) wings and exhaust
their vocabularies of "sob slug,"
but ihe women will not be fooled.
The blind tiger, the speed mani
ac, the gambler, the muidcrcr,
will have 'a "rough road to travel
when good women sit in the jury
box. The women will not be de
ceived by the crocodile tears ot
ihe accused or ihe oratory of his
counsel.

Mr, paid was bound over to
the next term of the Superior
Court for driving a machine

PEATrl UK MR U. F. MEDLIN.
It is with very grout sorrow
we are called upon to chroni
cle the death of our friend and
townsman, Mr. G'.' F, Medlin,
which occurred at his residence
in this place lust Monday in
the O'Jtid year of his age, of
neuralgia of the heart.
No better man, no truer friend
ever lived and died, in this
own. He closed his career as
he began it on earth and ever
sustained it an honest, true
friend. He came of a people
who regarded honor first.
There never was a man who
discrimic ted more nicely be
tween the right and wrong of
things or who lived more near
ly to that ideal of a man as
brave as a lion and as gentle
as a woman. In all the storms
of life this brave and gentle
mau was oak and rock, but in
the sunshine he was vine and
flower.
It has been the pleasure of
the writer to know him inti
mately since boyhood days.
We desire to speak of him as a
true, loving friend. Many are
the times we have called upon
him, to help, us when our press
would go wrong and his very
presence in the ollice would
give us confidence. His knowl
edge of machinery was won
derful. For years he was a
faithful employee of the Sea
board Air Line.
When ii was whispered around
that Frank Medlin was dead, the
universal comment was, "Well, a
good man has gone. He leaves one
son, two daughters, several grand
children and a host of other rela
lives to mourn iheir loss. The fu
neral took place Wednesday after
noon, Rev. L. D. Hayman conduc
ting ihe services. The intermen
was at Cedar wood c; n.'tery.
The following were the pall
bearers: G, W. Carole. J W. Whitaker,
J. J. WilleyVE. Clark, Jr., Geo.
C. Green.
Honorary E. Clark, C. R.
Chittenden, W. Lineberg, George
Mastin, C. P. Rod well, E. L. Hay
ward. Peace to his ashes and ever
greens to his memory.
Rotten politics is usually the
kind practiced by the side that wins.
BIBLE HEROES.
Character Sketches Written by
Two Intermediates In the M. E.
Sunday School,
ABRAHAM.
Abraham was born about 1996
B. C, in Mesopotania, about two
thousand years before Christ. He
set out from his home in Haran
io cover a journey of three hun
dred miles. He was leaving his
home for an unknown land. But
Abraham was a man of God and
God had promised to. bless him
and make of him a great nation.
Abraham's prominent companion
in this expedition was his nephew
Lot. They both had large flocks
and thus they could not graze to
gether. So one day Abraham led
Lot to the lop of the hill and gave
him his choice of ihe land. Abra
ham sacrificed himself for others.
He was a man who was willing io
do hard things. In those days the
heathen nations thought it neces
sary sometimes to offer their chil
dren to ihe gods. Abraham felt
hat he should not hesitate to do
as much for Jehovah. Therefore
he took Isaac io the (op of Mount
Moriah to offer him to God. God
honored his willingness but taught
him that he did not require the
death but the life of his son.
Abraham died at the age of 175
and was buried in the cave of
Macphelah.
THE CHARACTER OF JACOB.
Jacob was a plain man who loved
to stay around in his tents. He
was very ambitious; he did not
care for hunting or wandering
around. Jacob loved business, he
found his pleasure in ihe care of
the flocks and his father's proper
ty. He was prudent and inherited
the lofty ideals of his grandfather
Abraham. Jacob liked the siorits
of his grandfather at his home in
Hebron and Sheckem honored as
a powerful sheik. At last he was
fired with an ambition to be the
head of the clan himself. Bui
there came a time when Jacob's
ambition carried him too far and
made him do a great sin by mis
leading his father.
PAVINO HONEST DEBTS.
No man who fails to pay his
honest debts can enjoy ihe fullest,
measure of self-respect or the re
spect of his fellow men.
It is not intended to reflect against
the man in debt. The man who
does not from lime to time use his
credit is a poor man indeed. Most
good men use their credit both as
a matter of convenience and as a
matter of necessity.
But no good man will swindle
his creditors.
He will either pay his debts when
due or relieve his creditors of any
ground for apprehension as to ihe
honesty of his intention io pay.
The man who pays or arranges to
pay is the equal of any man.
But the man who deliberately
dodges his debts is no man at all
Everybody knows the fact and he
knows it as well as anybody else.
The man who does pay his hon
est debts, or, if unable to pay, con
ducts himself so as to retain the
confidence of his creditors, stands
higher in the confidence of every
body in every way than the man
who has never had occasion to
owe nothing.
THE YOtiNQ PEOPLE.
The Young People's Missionary
Society had iheir New' Year's
"Jamboree" at ihe residence of
Mrs. Geo. D. Hawks, on Decem
ber JOih. The following unique
invitations were sent out:
In what month were you born?
You needn't confess,
But wear something that tells
So that we may guess.

We-want you lo feel free,

BARN BURNED.
Messrs. W. A andO. W. Pierce
lost a barn on one of their farms
last Mondy by being burned in a
very peculiar way. The hands
were shredding corn and -the leath
er band attached to the engine got
hoi by fast running, throwing out
sparks which ignited the corn.
The loss was between five and six
hundred dollars.
Bilious Headache
When you have a severe headache, a
disordered stomacli and' constipation,
take three of Chamberlan'a Tablets.
They will correct the disorders of the
liver and bowel, effectually curing the
ha tdache.
SHEARIN-VINCENT.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. C.
P. Vincent was the scene of a quiet
but pretty marriage on Wednes
day at dawn, when their daughter,
Irene, became the bride of Mr.
John Shearin.
The parlor and reception hall
tastefully decorated with ferns and
evergreens. After a few appro
priate selections, Mrs. L. D. Hay
man played Mendelsohns wedding
march. The bride entered wiih
her brother, Mr. Charles Vincent
and the groom with his best man,
Mr. C. E. Carter, of Weldon. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
L. D. Hayman, before an impro
vised altar of green and while, in
the psesence of relatives and a few
intimate friends.
The bride was handsomely
dressed in a becoming suit of blue
duvene and a small grey ostrich
toque with grey accessories. Her
corsage was orchids and valley
lilies. The bride with her genial
manner and rare attraction has won
for herself a host of friends. The
groom ia a successful young busi
ness man of this town.
Immediately after the ceremony
Mr. and Mrs. Shearin left for Bal
timore en route lo New Xrk.
They will be at home io their
friends in Weldon after January
fourth.
JONES-FLEMINQ.
A marriage very beautiful in its
simplicity was solemnized yester
day morning at 10:30 o'clock,
when Miss Ruth Tryon Flemirg of
Raleigh became the bride of Mr.
Charles L. Jones, of Weldon at
the home of the bride.
The home was tastefully decora
ted with the usual Christmas deco
rations and ferns. A bank of palms
formed the backgrounds where
the marriage vows were pro
nounced by Rev. J. S. Farmer of
Raleigh in the presence of only
ihe members of the immediate fam
ilies. The ring ceremony was
used.
Just before the ceremony Miss
Margiret Highsmiih sang, "Be
cause I Love You Dear" and "Un
til." Mrs. W. W. Stancill, who
played the wedding march, softly
played '"Constancy," during the
ceremony.
The bride was dressed in a trav
eling suit of dark blue tricotine with
mole trimmings. She carried a
corsage of bride's roses and valley
lilies. ,
Immediately after the ceremony
they left on a trip io northern
points.
The above is copied from the
News and Observer of December
29th ulto. We wish to extend our
congratulations to (he happy cou
pie.
PLOW UNDER STALKS.
The Progressive Farmer, the
highest authority on agricultural
miturs !n the State, and one of
the highest in the South, is urging
the farmers to chop up iheir cotton
stalks and plow ihem under in or
der to leave no place of refuge in
the field for the boll weevil when
freezing weather comes. In addi
tion to plowing under the cotton
stalks, the editor advises that all
weeds, grass and other smal
growth around the edge of the
fields be burned off. Ihe boll
weevil, it is said, cannot stand cold
weather, and if the course advised
above be followed, it is thought
that in North Carolina, where the
winter months are much colder
than they are farther south, the
pest will be destroyed.by the cold.
THE COUNTY NURSE.
The Halifax County Red Cross
Nursing Association which has had
a county health nurse in this coun
ty for eighteen months immediate
ly following ihe war during reha
biliiaiion closed its work on De
cember 15th, and Miss Lula Sau
cer, ihe nurse has returned to her
home in Minnesota.
The association with Miss Sau
cer did most effective work along
many lines. We appreciate the
work rendered by Miss Sau,cer in
this county.
MONEY TURNED OVER.
Mr. W. H. Carroll called Satur
day, and we turned over to him
the amount subscribed by the citi
zens of Weldon and $5 subscribed
by Mr. A. J. Joyner, of New
York, $5 by Mr. W. C. Walton
and Mr. C. F- G,ore, of this, place.
The subscription amounted to
$101.00. The sum was not as
large as we had hoped or expected
to raise, but that will help some.

Calomel is mercury; quicksilver.

Calomel attacks the bunes and
should never be put into your sys

constipated and all knocked out,
just go to vour druggist and get a
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for
a few cents which is a harmless
vegetable substitute for dangerous
calomel. Take a spoonful and if
it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quick

making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
