Pleasant church, of which she had been a faithful member for over 50 years. The children's day exercises al the Baptist church last Sun day were much enjoyed by a large congregation, A very ap propriate address was delivered b Mr. James L. Griffin, who acted as master of ceremonies. Our county is fortunate in not having any of our bridges washed away by the recent heavy rains. In many of the western counties not a bridge survived the flood, and those counties will be put to a very heavy expense in rebuilding them This county stands No. 93 in the list of the counties in this state having rural white schools with two or more teachers. This is not very creditable to Chat ham, and we hope this condition mav be improved. Pamlico coun- tv stands at the head of the list and Bladen at the bottom. On the night of August 10th an entertainment will be given under the auspices of the Better ment Association at the school auditorium. The main feature of it will be a comedy entitled "The Elopement of Ellen," which will bre acted by our local talent, and, no doubt, will be much enjoyed by all who attend. We are pleased to learn that Mr. Frank Knight is recovering from his wounds inflicted by Ed. Harmon when the latter was cap tured by the revenue officers near Fuquay Springs three weeks ago, Wonderful to say, Harmon also is recovering from his wounds which were thought mortal. He is a desperate blockader and a man of great nerve. We have received an attract ive illustrated circular of 16 pages from the Agricultural and Me chanical Collecre. It Dresents a clear conception of the buildings, machines and laboratory equip ment of the three engineering de partments of the college. Pa rents and young men wishing copies should write to the regis trar at West Raleigh. Mr. Duncan Cameron Wad dell died last Friday, aged 73 years, at Greensboro, where he had been residing for several years. He was born at Hillsboro but spent many years of his boy hood at this place, and is pleas antly remembered by our older citizens. He was the youngest son of Hon. Hugh Waddell, and was a gallant officer in the Con federate army and was so badly wounded that his recovery was considered almost a miracle. ! The rains have put the new ly made roads in a very bad con ! dition. Personal Mention. Mr. V. H. Johnson has gone on a visit to his old home at Clav- ton. Miss Mary Griffin, of Liberty, is here on a visit to her brother, Mr. James L. Griffin. Misses Lillie Moore and Daisy Poe left this morning for Wrights ville Beach to spend a few days. Mr. J. M.

The exercises will begin prompt ly at 10:30 o'clock. Bacon Stolen. On last Friday a colored man, named Luther Burton, was put in iail here to await his trial at our November court upon the charge of stealing a side of bacon from Mr. stepnen v. ijumore, who lives about four miles south west of this place. When Mr. Gilmore returned home about sun down that afternoon he missed a side of bacon, and, after inquir ing, his suspicions fell on Burtorl who is one of the laborers em ployed in the good roads force at work near Mr. Gilmore's home. He secured a search warrant and found the meat in the house oc cupied by Burton, whose wife said that some other man had brought it there. Fatal Explosion of Gas. Cleveland, O., July 25. Twen two men are dead and half a doz en others dying as the result of an explosion of gas in a water works tunnel five miles from shore underneath Lake Erie Mon day night.

A - J Slates 01 military age, Lost in the Woods. Editor of The Record: What a cry goes out in a neigh borhood when some one's little girl or boy has wandered away from home and .becomes lost in the woods. The alarm is sent out and neighbors gather with anterns and the search is begun. t may be that the hunt continues through the night, while the poor, distracted mother, back at home, sits waiting and wailing and almost brokenhearted for tidings of her lost darling. It is a sad picture and is no joke. Last Monday night was a dark one. JNot a star nor a light was to be seen anywhere, and with the exception of one lone citizen not a soul was on the streets. This lone gentleman was feel ing his way home from a visit to a sick friend perhaps, and he had o pass the deep. dark, scarry- ooKing forest (of weeds) in rear of Manly Smith's old store cor- ner when he heard a cry com ing from the forest as if some one was in deep distress. He stopped and listened. Yes, there it was again a wail, a moan. It was ghost-like, if a ghost can make a sound, and the inky dark ness, combined with che quiet ness of the streets, made the noise sound uncanny. The gentleman soon got help and lights and they pushed into the tangled forest, looking, as they thought, for somebody's ost child or probably some one that had been murdered. About midwav of the thicket the party came across a body, lying stretch ed out on the damp ground, ap parently in the last throes of death. As the lanterns threw a sickly light upon the body the men gazed at it in horror, it was not a child nor a man but an old hound that had been hunt ing rabbits in the tanglewood, ost his way, could not get out and was going the way all good dogs go. Moral Cut down the weeds or else some one's child will be lost. RAMBLER. Democratic Leaders Encouraged. Wash. Cor. News and Observer. Democratic leaders here are very much encouraged over the political outlook in New York state because of the failure of the Progressive state committee to indorse Charles E. Hughes, Republican candidate for the presidency yesterday. They be lieve that the refusal of the Bull Moose to be delivered as one man will mean many thousands of votes for President Wilson. They think each Progressive will be guided solely by his own con science and judgment on election day. Villa's Narrow Escape. Villa had a narrow escape from being captured two weeks ago bv Carranza tioops at the battle of Parral. In a carriage about a mile behind the lines he was di recting his men. Government soldiers pursued the bandits so hotly that they had only time to put Villa on a horse and he thus made his escape- A moment or so later the carriage was seized by soldiers who arrested a Swiss, who was Villa s nurse. Sawyer Cut in Two. Salisbury, July 22. William Martin, a sawyer, whose home is at Mill Bridge, in the western part of Rowan county, was in stantly killed early Saturday at a sawmill at Mill Bridge when he fell on a circular saw and was cut in half. Martin was 35 years old and unmarried. His brother was killed by lightning in Iredell county, June 3, England's War Expenses. London. July 24. Premier As- quith Monday asked the House of Commons for a vote of credit of 450.000.000 pounds. This vote is the largest asked by. the gov ernment since the beginning of the war and will bring the total voted this year to 1,050,000.000 pounds, and the total since the beginning of the war to 2,832,- 000,000 pounds, approximately $14,160,000,000.

The dam at the Milburnie fish ing club, six and a half miles northeast of Raleigh, is a com plete wreck. It broke shortly after 7:00 o'clock Tuesday morn ing. The loss is about $5,000. James Whitcombe Riley, the well known poet, died last Satur day night quite suddenly at his home at Indianapolis. Taking Big Chances. It is a great risk to travel without a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, as this pre aration cannot be obtained on tne 1 trains or steamships. Attacks of bow I el complaint are often sudden and very wnere. auv The School News. F. M. WILLIAMSON, Co. Supt., Editor. Did you ever see a school where the children not on recita tion were kept busv all the time at something that they liked to do? This is what we see every day in in our practice school. This is being done by the use of very simple devices that any teacher can get and use. It is well worth your time to come up and watch these children for an hour. The good teacher does not at tend an institute because she is forced to do so. The fact of the matter is that she is glad to grasp every opportunity that will enable her to render better ser vice to her school. We are sorry that all our teachers do not be- long to this class. This is shown by the great number of requests that come in every institute year to be excused from a part or all of the institute. Mr. L. E. Cole, who has been teaching school for over thirty years and who holds the distinc tion of being the oldest teacher in tne county, has been attend ing the summer school regularly notwithstanding that the most of the time he has had to walk to and from his home, a distance of six miles, in order that his plows might not' be stopped. He ad mits frankly that there is yet something for him to learn. This certainly ought to be an object lesson to the rest of us who have the greater part of our lives be fore us. Classes for extra work to meet early in the mornings and late in the afternoons have been organ ized. Miss Brown will teach a class in grammar beginning at 8 o'clock and the class in arithme tic will begin at 5 o'clock. Notice has just been received from the state department of the appointment of Supt. R. E. Sen- telle, of the Lumberton school, to conduct our institute in place of Supt. A. T. Allen, of Salisbury. Mr. Allen's appointment on the sub text-book commission pre vented his being with us. Biliousness and Stomach Trouble. "Two years ago I suffered from fre quent attacks of stomach trouble and bilottsness," writes Miss Emma Ver- bryke, Lima, Ohio. "I could eat very little food that agreed with me and I became so dizzy and sick at my stom ach at times that I had to take hold of something to keep from falling. Seeing Chamberlain's Tablets adver tised I decided to try them. 1 im proved rapidly." Obtainable every where, adv The United States is going to purchase the Danish West Indies for $25,000,000. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy. Every family without exception should keep this preparation at hand during the hot weather or the summer months. Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy is worth many times its cost when needed and is most certain to be needed before the summer is over. It has no supe rior for the purpose for which it is in tended. Buy it now. Obtainable everywhere, adv Up to last Monday the secre tary of state had issued 26,263 licensed automobile tags. Constipation and Indigestion. "I have used Chamberlain's Tablets and must say they are the best I have ever used for constipation and indi gestion. My wife also used them for indigestion and they did ner good. " writes Eugene S. Knight, Wilming ton, N. C. Chamberlain's Tablets are mild and gentle in their action. Give them a trial. You are certain to be pleased with the agreeable laxative ef fect whicn they produce. UDtamaDie everywhere, adv The production of bituminous coal and anthracite in the United States in 1915 amounted to 531, 619.487 short tons, valued at ($686,691,186, an increase, com pared with 1914, of 18,094.010 or 6 b per cent, in quantity, ana of $5,200,543, or 0 8 per cent, in value.
