As will be seen by the announce ments appearing elsewhere in The Roanoke NEWs,the political pot in this county has commenced to bubble and before a long while the boiling point will have been reached, the activities of the can didates will be more pronounced. A glance at the names of the gen tlemen who are asking the support of the voters, reveals a tine lot of ' men, all of whom would reflect . credit upon the good old county ' and the oltice to which ihey aspire Other announcements will doubt less follow, as rumors have it thai several very prominent men ol i lie county are preparing to "Ming their hats in the ring." AFTERNOON CLUB. The Thursday Afternoon Club was entertained on April 27 it) by Mrs. C. F. Gore. The house was beautifully decorated with a pro fusion ot red roses and other spring flowers.

The guests of the club for the afternoon were Mrs. Roy Lee Williamson. Mrs. Fred Poole, Mrs. A. C. Sledge and Miss Virginia Bishop. A "FINE" O.AME. On last Thursday the small girls of the Weldon Graded school and it oirls of the Garvsbure school played a game of base ball on the grounds at uarysourg, tne score being Weldon 18andGarys hiira Iri. We hoDe Judge Landis will not rind out how "well" these girls can play, as he might make diem a flattering offer to join the Boston "White Socks" or one ol -the New York clubs. Even with this score, they really did belter playing than the Weldon High School team, who have not delea led a club this season. This, club, in our opinion, needs to be re-organized. There are some good players on the club, but there are some that are "bumb," in every Atnse of tbe d,l. Leaves No Bitter Taste JUST A WORD. Revival Meetings Commence Wednesday, May 3rd.

This, third day of May, and at 8 o'clock, you will find the pastor in the pulpit; the choir in place, and comfortable pews ready for you.

For weeks and months in fact, for a year this church has been praying and plan ning for the revival season again. Now is the time The Meihodist church is the place, and 8 o'clock is the hour. "All things are ready, come!" Elsewhere in this issue of The Roanoke News you may take a look at the face of the preacher lor ihis meeting. Smith is one of the most consecrated men in the North Carolina Conference. The hand of opposition has never been raised against his tine charac ter; and his orthodoxy has never been called in question. He is Methodist in faith; but big enough and has religion sufficient to make him one of i he besi suited men in our ranks to visit any church and community and win the love and admiration of all churches. He uill be here for his first service Monday, May 8th. Until then the pastur will occupy the pulpii and prepare the church for the great work, responsibility, and victory of the following week.

Perhaps some of you who are going to vote against the bond issue think that we have been getting along all right with our present building so why not gel along in the future? Here's why. The number of pupils increase every year, the building is overflowing wiih girls and boys. If you would visit us during school hours 1 am sure that you would be surprised to see that two or three grades sit jn one room two pupils sitting at one desk. Even with this doubling up, several recitations have to be heard in the auditorium each day. What can we get from History, Physics or Latin when we have to reciie our lessons in the auditorium where a pupil is taking a music lesson? Music hath its charms on both man and beast, but when music, Phys ics, History and Latin come in con tact they are like water and oil they don t mix. Pay us a visit on a rainy or snowy day. What would you find? Every child in school con gregated in the lower hall in order to get out of the rain or snow. Citizens of Weldon, vote for the bond issue and give us a school wiih bright, spacious, airy rooms. Where we can study in comfort; a gymnasium in which we can build up our bodies physically and be come strong, healthy men and wo men. What produces a healthy, alert mind? A healthy body. With a new school we could have laboratories where we could devel op our sciences, fully. What will Science amount to for us unlsjss we have the proper equipment' to test our experiments? Nothing. We will have to take other people's woi d tor it. Make it possible for us to have a Domestic Science department, so that our girls may learn to bake and sew and become good, house wives. A new school with clean, beau tiful convenient surroundings would be an inspiration to work, both to teachers and pupils. Pat ons would take more interest in school work. There is nothing we school girls and boys enjoy more than to have peopk ol our town ciiine to see us work- Give us a new school and see us work wiih happier hearts and brighter faces. Not long ago, I heard a gentle man say to a visitor from one of our neighboring towns passed our school and ask; "Is that the only school that Weldon has?" "Yes," Mr. Smith replied, some what embarrassed. "1 am sorry to say it is ihe best we have." . Do we want to hear such re marks about our school? No! We are very proud of the rec ords that our graduates from Wel don High have made and are ma king at our wonderful colleges. If our present poorly-equipped school sends out such well-prepared grad uaies. what records would we make if we had a better school? Every day the demand is for effi cient men and women. How shall we meet this demand? Give us a new school and we will give you the answer. Our town is growing every day, let our schools keep pace with the town. We can't stand still, we must either go forward or backward. Let us push io the front. Weldon's present debt is only $3,500, Isn't that a wonderful record? Think of the towns in Halifax county that owe nearly half a million. Weldon is fortu nate indeed. Some who voie against the bond issue are against a new school because they think that the tax rate will be increased twofold. But the increase of school taxes will be only one-half of ihe present rate. After increase the school taxes will be 50c. on every $100. Is that such an enormous sum? No. Think of the good that a new high school will do. What i pride it will be to the town. What a help it will be to the next generation. Think of how we can boast of our school. . Instead of desiring to pass it by as it we are ashamed of ii. we will want to say to all the world: "That's our school." Old education is the greatesi thing a person can give a child. Education, like happiness, is a thing that everybody has a right to. What is the hope of the fu ture? The children. Let us have a well-equipped school so that the girlsand boys may grow up to be healthy, well educated men and women. Old Weldon, we love you, dig down into that old, worn pocket book of yours and give us a new school. Caroline Daniel, Class of 1923. COMMITS SUICIDE. Mr Fmilv Suiion. of Rosema ry, committed suicide at her home last Thursday night by shooting herself through the head with a pistol. She was said to have been a drug fiend and was crazed from the lack of the drug she so con stantly used. Coroner Rowe and jury viewed the body and examin ed witnesses and rendered a verdict thai she came to her death by tier own hand. Free Examination and Blood Test.

CLINIC PLACES DAYS Roanoke Rapids, 9 to 12 A. M., Saturdays, May 13, 20 and 27 (Hospital) Weldon, 2 io 5 P. M., Town Hall Saturdays, May 13, 20 and 27 B.Y.P. U. AT ROANOKE RAPIDS. On last Sunday evening the members of the senior B. Y. P. U. motored over to Roanoke Rapids church and gave their regular weekly program as a demonstra tion, by request of the Roanoke Rapids Union. Thesuject was "Latin-America." As we know the problem of all Protestants in Latin-America is that of fighting the Romanists. This subject was handled ably by our young folks each one render ing his part very creditabfy. In a year or two Roanoke Rapids will have a flourishing Senior Union, for wiih such excellent training as the Juniors are now having, the natural result will be a progessive Senior Union. We wish all the churches, re gardless of denomination, could have a young people's organiza tionfor where such organizations exist, there is no cry for leaders in the church. At present the need of the majority of churches is for trained leaders. Rev. H. C. Smith, pastor of Trinity church, Wilmington, who will conduct revival services in Weldon Methodist church, May 3rd to 15th. THE BIO ROCK FlflHT. In olden days the 1 Oth of May was .known as the big rock fight, and then the river was in a complete work with fish. Alter the 1 Oth nearly all the Ksh found their way back to salt water. RED, WHITE AND BLUE. P.enrpe Pointer, a very worthy old colored man, who lives near town, brought to our office on last Saturday an ear of com he raised last year, that resembled the United Si nes ting. The grains are red, white and blue and is quite a curi osity. THE RICH AND THE POOR People are fond of saying that it is difficult if not impossible for a very rich man to be a Christian. That may be true. At any rate we are not going to argue the point. I5ui what about the very poor man? Can he be a Christian ? If you were out of a job and out of money, and did not know where your next meal was coming from, how would you feel toward Chris tianity? If your wife and children were cold and hungry, and lacking in decent clothes, would your heart be full of the love of God and love for your fellow man? We sometimes think the greatest sin that a rich man can commit is to fail to make ii easier far poor men to get jobs. And one-half ihe country does n't know how the other half is go ing lo vote this fall. Thf. main obieciion 10 the tariff is that it is generally levied on ihe things we have to buy. No matter whether the coal op erators or tne miners win the trke, ihe public will lose. 1 105 Treatments Given. THE BOLL WEEVIL. Boll weevils will be worse this year, it is thought than ever be fore. The area of infestation is larger than it has ever been since the pest entered this country from Mexico in 1 892. The winter sur vival is unprecedented.
