iS ; ;JilO, S. C, Sept. 8, 1V. JAS. Q. tOYLIN, Publisher. Printed twice a week, and entered at second class matter, December 6, 190S, at l be post ofJee at Wadesboro, N. C., under the Act ot March 3, 179. POLKTON LOCALS., Cotton was badly damaged by the recent gales that hailed from the Ilatteras capes. Com suffered less, and,encouraged by the copioaa rain of tha last few days, will render bouu teous compensation for' the lation- ou3 effjrts of oar indus'rious hus bandmen. A debate on the moral develop ment and progress of the Uuited States was held in the school buildiop Friday night. The silt ject was well handled. D. W. Smith 'Esq., and Mr. E. W. Flake were the principal disputants lh the discussion. Miss Fannie Lou Caudle, of Green ville, S C. and Mis Annie Davis, ot Rockingham were guests of Misses llona Lee and May Caudle, last week. " : -X .1.'' Mr. Booker Winfree and bis sister, Miss ' Ina, 'spent several days last week with Mrs. Julia Cameron and family.

Mr. Earl Watson and Miss Annie Watson ofjCneraw, S. C, spent last Sunday evening with "Mr. A. L. Cuudle. W. F. Humbert, last week, mov ed the old granary and store room that pressed hard on the pubi c road at Clyfton Oaks, to a more cpnven lent location. The building was er ected by Peter May long before civil war enshrouded the hills of Carolina with the smoke and flame .of battle. i The old oak still stands a voiceless historian of the days when the pio neer's gun rang out in the primeval woods, and the axmau had not yet begun to battle with the giants of the forest. Progbess. School Attendance Of the different things that coot rib ute to progress of pupils in school, time is-the most important. Business men and all others realize the Importance of? this element of ti roe when dealing with general busi ness matters, but often they do not see it is equally true when applied to school' matters. The business man or farmer who is at his place of duty on time and keeps everlastingly at it is sure to win. The pupil who comes the first day of school and applies himself diligently sooner or later must succeed. The farmer who loses bis nerve when the grass is thick and everything seems tip go wrong, when bu has to plow up his crop and plant again or fail entirely, will never suc cet d. Sometimes i rains and other things compel a good farmer to lose his crops.. He, too, though he has done all he can, has to plow up and plant again. Occasionally replanting w ill do. " Through the misfortune of sickness, or through the lack of stick ing qualities, a few pupils have to stay in the same grade or plow up and plant again. Many are able to replant and get fairly good results. It is impossible in any line of work for two days' or two months' work to be done in one, day or one month. The pupil may continue with the class and seemingly there is nc la s if it is a studious pupil who attends regularly, but there is always a loss. The time used in trying to make up back work is neened on that day's 'anon, ; This is written simply to call pa ints attention to the fact that if ;.ey would have their children do veil In school they should help to acb them this very important les n of beginning the first dayand eping everlastingly at it Will a not do your part, though it may a sacrifice, by having your child school the very first hour?

Red Hauu TILE EST PLAY YET ulmax tna Brktn,n PitMaUa to Lara; Anatcna ot Hmn Taoadoy KtgntTko Play i will bo Glvaa M LtlaaTllla Tonight Correspondence of the M. & I. On last Tuesday evening it was my good fortune to . witness the play, "Among the Breakers," as present ed by local talent at Morven. It was a beantiful night and a large and ap preciative audience filled the audito rium. It has been our pleasure to witness numbers of really excellent plays, but we must diss this amone the best that we have seen by' local talent The general verdict of the audience was that it was the ' best ever given in Morven, and when an nouncement was made that it would be reproduced at Lilesville on Thurs day evening (tonight) people began planning at once to go and see it the second time." In fact already a large crowd has made arrangements to go. The scene of the play is in the house of a light keeper and opens with two Irish characters, Larry and Biddy, in the persons of Mr. Havey Connelly and Miss Mary Bell May. They have a few . smas ': upa. and create no little merriment With the enterance of Mother Carey (Miss Car rie McQueen) begins the mysUry. She plays her part of a fortune teller weM all through, revealing her true self in the last few moments. The fun begins in earnest when "Scud" (Mr. L. S. Jeffords), the col ored comedian, enters. By his an tics and connic sayings he keeps the audience in ah uproar of laughter. Bruce Carter's part is that of a re fined and wealthy gentleman, which Mr. J. L. Little plays well. Another character that plays a similar part, but that of a young man, is Clarence Hunter. In this role Mr. C. P. Free man successfully presses his suit be fore Bess Star bright (Miss May Mc Queen) the heroine of the play. Both she and Minnie Daze (Miss Aileen Lowery), who is in Bruce Hunter's shipwrecked party, play their parts well. Another very amusing inci dent is the dilemma that Mr. Para graph gets into when be proposes Bess in the presence of Minnie, to whom he is already engaged. Mr. King ilaxston plays this . part fine. Probably one of the strongest charac ters in the play ii the. villain,.., David Hunter, Mr. Jas 'E. Johnson.- He seeks revenge for fancied wrongs but 8 es his error, confesses his crime and is forgiven The play cLwes with the revelation of the true character of Mother Carey, the happy restora tion of a husband to his wife and a son and daughter to their parents, and the j iymi utiton of several hap py couples. .

Al. Is quite popular In this county, - and I suppose that, like all other respectable newspapers, you have a waste basket of prodigious dimensions,-1 will send you some notes. . ---" Court is in session and Rocking ham is full to overfl.iwiug. Messrs. L. D. Robinson, of Wadesboio, and Cameron Morrison, of Charlotte, are here assisting In prosecuting and de fending in murder cases, of which there are three. Tuesday morning, just "after Jack Leak, colored, bad been sentenced to two years for bouse breaking, there was a great commotion in the court room and on the streets, supposed to be a team running away, which broke up court for the time. It proved to be Jack, who bad jumped out of a second story window. He was chased by several dozen men, but escaped, saying, "Good-bye; this is better than two years." Merchants have bought heavy stocks ot good and are very busy preparing for the biggest trade they have had Jn several years. Crops are fine, prices are good, and you have to give the road to the farmer. Th'e large forces -of hands employed on the two railroads being built in the county are receiving good wages. The merchants can hardly get sales men to wait on their customers. The farms, mills and other places have been drawn upon for their bright boys! Some are willing to work for small wages with what little they can pick up, while others command good prices. Fancy prices have been offered and refused for salesmen and bookkeepers. Then the mills will soon be running on full time, which will add $7,000 or 18,000 a month to the circulating fund. Cotton mill workers have been hit harder than any other class of people by the Taft panic. Tbey have been running on short time with very lit tle, if any, increase in wages, and have to buy everything at inordinate ly high prices. Roberdel No. 1 has a tremendous lot of c.oth on hand, but orders are coming in rapidly, and the officers are by no means out of heart, judg ing from the improvements they are making to their property. They are tearing down tenement - houses andbuiidingbigger,painting,planting flowers and hedges, looking after sanitary conditions, and doing every thing for the comfort and convenience of their operatives. Roberdel 1 is the best mill town in the state to live in. I haven't time to speak of all her advantages. Her people are hos pitable to all, even to dead beats and loafers. One of the best of high school is located there. The present session opened two weeks ago with abfut 125 students. Prof. Lunsford, of Burke, is the principle. He is aa slsted by Mr.C. L. Wicker, of Robert del, and two young ladies. Tbey have a literary and debuting society which meets on Friday evenings; The town and community also have one which meets in the Woodmen's hall on Thursday nights. A site for a new town has been laid off in the northern part of the county on the Page road. Streets have been opened up, and 160 lots, which will be sold at auction soon, staked off. A beautiful town will spring up rapid ly after the road is completed to that place, which I presume will be called Spradls. A good number of lots have already lieen purchased at good prices by prominent business men, farmers, truckers and speculators. It is proposed lo form a new county Irom purtri of Moore, Montgomery and Richmond, with Spraul fur the county seat. When the roads a completed it will be on a direct line from north to south. For fruit rais ing it Is one of the finest sections to be found. S ton large orchards will be plarrtfcd, and all that section, which has been lying dormant for many ymp", will hlnfsnm as a rose.

They ask the price. Quality is not con sidered; nothing but price." If one mower'is cneaperby $5.00; yea, even by $1,00, perhaps 50c, he will buy it. Possibly he uses it one season. Next year he wants a new blade, some guards, an M148 or a Gill. If the party is in business that he bought it from he probably goes to him for repairs and says: "I want so and so." "Well, I will have to telegraph to Kalamazoo for them; 75c for telegram, please; express 90c." "My land! man, that eats a fellow up. How'sbon can I get them?" "Three or four days," says the dealer "What? Why, my grass needs cutting now." If that farmer had purchased a McCormick Mbjver of us he would have no taouble to get his repairs, be- - - - . . . sides having one of the best if noUhe best mower on the market. .

BLALOCK HDW; COMPANY ECZEMA 0UEBD Many people have tried so many remedies for eczema without being materially benefitted that they have come to the conclusion that" there is no cure for this most distressing dis- ease. That this conclusion is erroneous, and that Hobson's Eczema Ointment will effect a cure is shown by the following unsolicited testimonial of Mr. Venable Wilson, who for many years was a citizen of Wades boro. Mr. Wilson says: "This is to certify that for nine years I suffered with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so called specfics for it. but without effect. But after a few. applications of Hobson's Eczema Ointment I was completely cured. . "V.WILSON. "Thomasville, N. C. Feb. 22, 1910.", We sell Hobson's Eczema Ointment under an absolute guarantee.
