PRAISE OP V'TTLB WOMEN.
1 wish to make my sermon brief
to shorten by oration
For a never-enVig sermon is my
utter detestation; .
I like shot women suits at law
- without procrastination
And am always most . delighted
with things of short duration.
In a little precious stone what
splendor meets tho eyes!
In a little lump of sugar how much
of sweetness lies!
So in a little woman love grows and
multiplies; :
You recollect the proverb says: "A
word unto the wise."
'A pepper corn is very small, but
seasons every dinner
More than all other condiments, al-
tho 'tis sprinkled thinner;
Just so a little woman is, if Love
will let you win her,
There's not a joy in all the world
you will find within her.
And as within the little rose you
find the richest dyes.
And in a little grain of gold much
t rice and value lies,
As from a little balsam much odor
doth arise, .
So in a little woman there's a taste
of paradise.
The .skylark and the nightingale,
the small and light of wing,
Yet warble Bweeter in the grove
than all the birds can sing;
And so a little woman, tho a very
little thing,
Is sweeter far than sugar, and
flowers that bloom in spring.
The magpl and the golden thrush
have many a thrilling note.
Each as a gay magician doth strain
Jiis little throat
A nvrry little songster in his green
and yellow coat;
And such -a little woman is, when
Love doth make her dote.
There's naught can be compared to
her throughout the wide ciea
tton; She is a pardlso on earth our
greatest consolation;
So cheerful, , gay and happy, so
free from all vexation:
In One, she's better in the proof than
in anticipation.

OGRESS IS MADE
IN RAT CAMPAIGN
Fifty-one rats was ' the result of
the catch last night and these ad
ded to what Officers Peebles and Mc-
Rary have already got make a little
bit more than 650 rodents killed
uring the campaign. In this con
nection It might be well to. remark
that those people who are in sym
pathy with the campaign of exterm
ination. might aid the cause by con
tributing a few cents or dollars.
Money is needed to fight the pests.
Mr. John Whiting believes that he
has caught the rat that ; helped' to
kill 14 young rabbits 18 chick and
1 young turkeys. Naturally he is
an ardent enthusiast on the subject
of extermination, and there are hun
dreds of people in Raleigh who
ave suffered more or less from the
varmints. Mr. Harry Roberts has
lost seven rabbits in the past week.
The rats are received every morn
ing at 10:30 at the city lot on Sal

WANT WIRES UNDERGROUND
Movement in Durham to Beautify
Main Street Farmer .Fires Into
Mill. "; ,
(Special to The Times. )
Durham, Aug. Sl.--Owing to Hie
liability of the contractors to com
plete additions to three of the city
school buildings, the session of 1U12-
1913 will not open 'September 2, as
scheduled, but will epen the follow-
ng Monday, September !. This ae
tion was taken at 'a meeting held
this week by the school board, when
it was seen that the work could not
be completed In less than three
weeks, and It was eemcd best not
to begin the school until all the
buildings were ready.' '
Monday afternoon- an unknown
man, supposed to btf:a farmer, fired
a pistol shot into a ' window of the
Durham hosiery mtlls, and though
no one was injured, consternation
reigned among tho employes for
few minutes. The man was driving
by the mill when several of the
small boys began to guy him, mak
nig remarks -that were very bitter
and vulgar. Finally the passerby
could stand the taunts no longer
ana he produced a revolver and fired
it at tho window from which came
the most of the epithets that were
being hurled at him. The shatter
ing of the glass produced immediate
quiet in that section of the building
and tlie aggrieved person continued
his way without receiving further
evidence of crude wit from his an-
noyers.
There is a strong movement on
foot here to beautify Main street by
removing the electric light and tele
phone poles and having the hun
dreds of wires that are trung over
head placed underground. This
movement had its inception In the
Commercial Club and is dally gain
ing momentum. Monday night
member of the board of aldermen
made a strong speech In favor of
this, and servcil notice that he would
oppose any eff n-t to improve other
sireeis iiiuu someining was done in
tho principal part of tho city.
series of pictures has been made
showing Main Ktrcet with and with
out the poles and wires, and these
will be used in a campaign of edii
cation. Theso pictures have been
arranged for use in the moving pic
ture shows, and were tried out at
one of those shows to a committee
yesterday afternoon.

i BEDDINGFIELD'S
E REPLY
Mr. E. C. Beddingfieid's friends
of Wake Forfcst, have taken excep
tion to the article published in The
Times last Saturday, signed by
twe.nty-eight citizens of Wake For
est township and have sent the fol
lowing reply to The Times:
To The Editor: ...
Theer appeared in your naDer of
the 18th InBt. a communication
signed by sever;! voters of Wake-
Forest township, In the interest of
Mr. R. H. Mitchell for County Com
missioner, in which it was stated in
substance that Mr. E. C. Bedding
field, was a Raleigh man and ought
not to be elected to represent the
northern section of Wake County on
the Board of Commissioners.
The northern section of the Coun
ty, under a sub-division made many
years ago, is composed of the fol
lowing townships, vlis: New Light,
wake Forest, Neuse River, and
Barton's Creek, and none of these
townships touch Raleigh township.
After reconstruction the first com
missioner elected upon the board
for the northern section was Mr. E.
Gjll, of Wake Forest township,
who served several years; after him
Mr. S. W. Terrell, of Wake Forest
township was elected from the
northern section and served upon
the board two years, and after him
Mr. W. C. Brewer of Wake Forest
township, was elected from the
liorthern section, and will have serv
ed at the end of the present term,
ten years. About twenty-five years
ago Mr. J. T. Hunter, of Neuse River
township, was elected from the
northern section of the county and
served upon the board several years.
About twenty years ago Mr. .1. D.
Allen, of Barton's Creek, was elect
ed, from the northern section and
served upon the board several years,
and before this Mr. A. L. Lynam,
of New Light township, was elect
ed from the northern section and
served one or two terms.
U will be observed, therefore,
that Wake Forest township has had
the lion's share' upon the board
from the northern section, and so
far as we can learn, a majority of
the people of our township are wili
ng that other townships shall have
an equal showing with Wake For
est. .'.Neuse River is as much a part
ot the. northern section as Wake
Forest and Mr. E. C. Bcddingtield,
who lives in Neuse River township,
is in (he northern section.
We have nothing to say respecting
any other candidate, but we do say
that we have known Mr. Bedding-
field for many years and we believe
on account of high character, abil
ity and great experience, . that he
will represent the northern section
of the county as well as any man in
and we, citizens of Wake Forest,
heartily endorse Mr. Beddingfleld
for. the position of commissioner,
from the northern section, and we
earnestly hope that the other town
ships will assist Wake Forest In
roling up a very large majority for
him. -
