Harrell, one of the most prominent and honored cit izens of Northampton, died sud denly at his home at Potecasi last Sunday. Mr, Harrell had a severe attack of LaGrippe last winter and had been confined to his house for several weeks, but of late had improved verv much and was growing much stronger, and able to get out and take a more active interest in affairs. Last week he wrote a letter for this paper telling of the success of one of his neighbors. On Sun day afternoon" he walked but on the street as far as the pr-stoffice and set down on the steps to talk with his neighbors; Dr. C. G. Powell and J. R. Baugham, and was more cheerful than usual. Of a sudden he stopped talking and asked what was the matter with him and expired before those about him could realize what was taking place Mr. Harrell was born at Mar garettsville, Northampton coun ty, on October 23. 1853, the son of W. J. and Rebecca Harreil. After the death of his parents he went to Murfreesboro to live with his uncle, Norfleet Harreil, and after a few years went to Wood land where he spent about two years and then, removed to Pot ecasiin 1874 where he resided until the time of his death. When he moved to Potecasi he engaged in the mercantile business and was successful, continuing in the business ever since, and at the time of his death hadperhaps been in business continuously longer than any man in the coun ty. On November 16, 1880, Mr. Harrell was happily married to Miss Mollie W. Harrell, daughter of A.J. and Mary Elizabeth Har rell of Woodland, who survives him. He also leaves three chit dren. Dr. George N. Harrell of Murfreesboro, Mrs. E. C. Parker of Menola, and Mr. A. J: Harrell who still remains with his mother Mr. HarrelPs private life was beautiful, and an insm'ration to others who noted the ties that bound him to his loved ones. In 1885 he became a member of Potecasi Baptist church and lived a faithful member to the end of his days. In 1891 he was made a deacon of the church which place he held at the time of nis death. He was the leading mem ber of his church and exerted a wide influence for good. He was a man of peace and lived near the golden rule. HIS PUBLIC CAREER For twenty-five years Mr. Har rell had been a leader in the pub lie affairs of his county. In 1886 he was elected a County Com missioner and soon thereafter was made chairman of the board He held this position continuous ly until 1893 when he resigned to become a member of the Legis lature, representing his Countv faithfully in the lower house of the General Assembly. On his return home he was again elect ed a County Commissioner, and made chairman of the board, and held that office until he voluntari ly retired last year, having round ed out a quarter of a century in the service of his county. " . A PROMINENT MASON. When the Masonic Lodge was organized at Potecasi he soon be came a Master Mason and was ever thereafter,, prominent in the order;, v He served , as master df his lodge and represented it in the Grand Lodge. In all rela tions of life he was true and hon- Northampton Munty has lost one of its most distinguished cit izens. Discuss Prevention, of Disease. Hookworm Physicians are of the opinion that the international importance of hookworm disease has become so great that its prevention should be taken up by sanitary conference. The editor of Am r ican Medicine says; It seems that the parasite is fen endemic scourage in the whole tropical and sub-tropical belt.and is seriously interfering with in dustrial efficiency and internat ional trade. Poverty is now re cognized as the result of ineffi ciency, either inherited or acquir ed, and those who are chronical ly ill are the feeblest and there fore the poorest of the poor the world over. Social workers have long recognized that the first step in reforming the submerged paupers is to cure them. "The medical profession, there fore, forms the basis of all modern schemes to lessen poverty and it is justifying the system by the magnificent results in Porto Rico and cur South and even in our slums. The new point now being forced on our traders and manufacturers is the fact that it is not possible to get as much raw material from the tropics as civilization demands, and that the deficiency is due to the in efficiency of the native workmen., and largely a matter of hook worm. V "Northern races are thus re flexly injured by the filthy habits which make the transfer of the infection so easy in the tropics. It is merely one more illustration of the necessity of controlling the tropics from the north, to force sanitation upon them as we did in Panama. "The mutual benefit of both controllers and controlled de mands the elimination of hook, worm." New Features In Bremen Schools. From Consul William Thomas Fee, tire- men, Germany. i he new common schools in Bremen are provided with bath ing halls, where the scholars may take weekly shower baths. At present bathing is not compulsory but is under the regulation of the school board. Odjections of par ents are met with consideration. soap, crushes, and towels are supplied by the school. The State has piovided contin uation schools, where industrial apprentices can further their edu cation so as to enter a school of technology. According to law, all male employees of industrial concerns under 18 years of age (except assistants and apprenti ces in pharmacies and commer cial establishments) are compel led to attend the continuation school for three years. A bill has been brought before the Bre men Senate making attendance at these schools compulsory for tne assistant ana apprentices in mercantile concerns. The bill is expected to pass. Another bill pending before senate provides for instructions in English in all the public schools, both pay and free, in the city. - It is urged that as Bremen is a seaport town having intimate commercial relations with Eng land and America, a knowledge of (the English language would be' oi vaiua 10 a great numoer oi people. V WOODLAND HIGH SCHOOL. j .. ' Tne Close of a Successful Session -Annual Address by Dr. North Prizes Awarded. The closing exercises last week, brought to ajfinishavery success-ful.-vear's work for the school at this place. True little, has ap peared in print concerning our school the past session, but that dosen't signify thac little has been accomplished; for the teacn- ers together with the coopera- tionofiiie patrons have labord hard to aiake this one or' the most successful sessions in the history of the school. An evidence of which' was demonstrated last Wednesday and Thursday, May 3rd and 4th at the closing exer cises. To call attention to every good feature of the concert Wednesday evening would be to mention eve ry one on the program, thus it is that no one subject or person has been singled out for special men-1 tion. Suffice it to say that all acted their part in such a manner as to reflect credit upon them selves and instructors as well. For it is the general concensus of opinion that this was among the best, if not the best Recital given in Woodland in quite a while. The exercises Thursday mcrning began with a song by the school after which Elder C. W. Scarbrough read a portion of the fourth chapter of Proverbs, followed by a prayer. The teachers of the school hav ing offered prizes to the students making the highest gra'de in eaeh of the spelling classes, it was at this point that the names of the winr ers were announced as fol lows: Miss Hannah Ilollorhon, Mas ter Harry Griffin, and Master Raymond Benthall in their re spective classes. We were in formed by the teachers that there were several others that came very near the coveted prize Mr, Grover H. Joyner in appropriate remarks delivered the prizes which consisted of valuable books suitable for the respective reci pients. Then followed a few musical selections, declamations, etc., after which Dr. W. B. North delivered the address. His subject "Get Wisdom" was hand led in a most scholarly manner, and no doubt will prove very helpful to his hearers. After tne evening exercises and Thursday afternoon, the la dies of the Betterment Associa tion served refreshments. This together- with the public ' dinner Thursday, furnished by the pa trons, helped to add-zest and variety to the occasion. Commission Government at Home. Here is an explanation of the famous initiative, referendum, and recall about which we are hearing so much these days. Mr, Man goes home and announces that he is going down town after supper to meet a man. That s the initiative. The lady of the house says: "Are you?" in that ascending voice, which seems to walk over the tops of his nerves. That's the referendum. Then Mr. Mann sits down and reads his paper. That's the recall." Rockford, 111., Star. ; "Well you got your husband to church with you instead of the theatre, eh?" ' "Yes," but he disgraced me.

Pro- Kressive Farmer. These seven million native Filipinos represent all stages of human progress. - The lowest of them are head-hunters and hang the sculls of their human enemi es outside their huts as an Ameri can would mount the head of an elk or bear. The great majority, however, have long been Chris tians and have attained a fair de gree of civilization. Even arflonjr j the savaure tribe?, a hih moral code is often enforced. Tup ir roprot?s, for e.campie, though some of their number make it a condition of marriage that the young brave shall have taken a head, shall have killed his man, yet have remarkable standards of honor and virtue in some respects, nru fnrmallv viair. rhp rlpath nsn alty as the punishment for adul tery. Because roads or means oT communication have been poor, the people have mingled but lit tle, and there are three dozen dif ferent dialects. In the course of a half day's journey by rail I find three different languages spoken by the people along the route. The original inhabiants were Negritos, a race of pygmy blacks, of whom only a remnant remains, but the Filipino proper is a Malayan. The natives are unique in that they alone among all the peoples of Asia have accepted Christiani ty. Fortunate in being without the gold of Mexico or Peru, the Philiphines did .rot attract the more brutal Spanish adventurers who about the time of Megellan's discovery, we're harrying weal thier people with fire and sword. The1 priest, his soul aflame with love for his Church, came tj tie Philiphines, and the impression made by his virtues was not neg atived by the b'oody crimes of fellow-Spaniards mad with lust of treasure. The result is. that to this day probally 90 per cent of the Filipinos are Catholics. Before the Priest came the peo ple worshipped their ancestors, as do other peoples in the Far East. The only Asiatic who have ac cepted Christianity, the Filipinos are also the only Asiatics among whom women are not regarded as degraded and inferior beings. "If the Spaniards had done noth ing else here," as a high official in Manila said to me, "though we are beginning to recognize that they did a great deal, they would deserve well of history for what they have accomplished for the elevation of women through the introduction of Christianity. No other religion regards woman as man's equal." The testimony I heard in the Philipines indicated that the female partner in the household is, if anything, superi or in authority to the man. She is active in all the little business affairs of the family, and white people sometimes arrange with wives for the employment of hus bands! Pointed Paragraphs. From tne Chicago News. A mob may draw the line at lynching. The cup that cheers is a noisy j piece of crockery. - It's easy to nil the public eye if you have the "dust." The dog with the handsomest collar seldom wins the fight. ' Before giving a woman advice find out the brand she prefers. A full beard may enable a man to keep out of some bad scrapes.

Seaboard Citizens Stand at tne Head of tne Column for Liberality itr Schools. Last week our news columns told the story of how thepeople of the town of Seaboard.in North ampton County, had raised b'.' voluntary subscriptions about three thousand dollars to help build a public school house ar. that place. This action was so commendable that we asked the secretary of the meeting, Mr. J. G. L. Crocker, to furnish us the names of the subscribers to the fund. Following is Mr. Crock er's letter giving the informa tion: Seaboard, N.C., May. 2, 1911. My dear sir: As promised you yes terlaf I give below list of sub scriptions to the school building fund for Seaboard: Dr. M.R. Stephenson & wife W. R. Vick & wife John W. Leake & wife M. F. Long $510 50O 325 20O 200 100 110 100 100 100 100 100 50 50 50 LR. W. Edwards IR. D. B. Maddrey J. G. L. Crocker & wife W. T. Norvell A. K. Harris J. R. Ware J. M, S. Rogers J. E. Cuthrel! J. H. Ramsay W. T. Jones B. S. Stancell H. R Harris & wife N. M. Harris 50 E. H. Stephenson 50 R. V. Maddrey 25 J. H. Bradley 25 Total $2800 We are assured of three thou sand dollars, and perhaps a larg er amount Our oeople are ie sponaing generously, and the life of the school seem9 assured. Sincerely yours, J. G. L. Crocker Tne above subscriptions were made at a meeting of thecitizeps called to consider the school ques tion, at which all who were in terested could not be present. Others are going to help, and h Mr. Crocker says the amou:.t will reach $3000. When it is considered 'that these people pay their regular State, County, road, school and town tax, and in addition tax themselves 30 cents on1 the $100 valuation of property to help support the school this acton their part in raising three thou sand dollars by private, volunta ry subscriptions is very remark able. VICTORY AT CONWAY. School Election Carries by Sat Majority. The election held at Conway this week on the proposition of levying a special tax of not ex ceeding 30 cents on the $100 val uation of property and 90 cents on the poll resulted in a victory for the school, the vote standing 34 for the school and 29 against, with two registered and not vot ing. Saved nis Mother's Life. "Four doctors bad given me up," writes Mrs. Laura Games, of Avoca, La., "and my children and all my friends were looking for me to die, when my son insisted that I use Electric Bitters. I did so, and they did me a world of good. I will always praise them." Electric Bitters is a priceless blessing to women troubled fainting and dizzy spells, backache, headache, weakness debility, constipation or kidney disor ders. Use them and gain new health, strength and vigor. They're guaran teed to satisfy or money refunded. Only ,50e, at .Rich Square,, Drug,, Co.. f. H. Nicholson "of, Murfreesboro.., MILK COW FOR SALE.
