Luther Stephenson of Pleasant Grove, who has been suffering with chills, at intervals of 14 and 21 days for the past two months, was visited by an other last Friday. While we write a gentle rain is falling. Great good , will fol low from it as the earth was very dry and all growing crops were beginning to show sad ef fects from the prolonged drought. The Y. W. A's of Seaboard Baptist church held a very inter esting meeting Monday after noon with Miss Marguerite Mad drey. The sickness of their lead er, Mrs. W. J. Jones, was very much regretted by all present. Sheriff Joyner of Jackson, spent a few hours here, his old home, Saturday afternoon, on business pertaining to his office. It has never seemed natural to think of Hinton. other than a Seaboard ian. He still maintains a lively interest in ll that pertains to our welfare. He seemed almost a much elated over the advent of our new State High School building as we home folks are, and that is saying a great deal. Mrs. Robert Davis and chil dren of Tarboro, arrived last Saturday and are spending thiB week with her mother, Mrs. S. B. Harris. Messrs. Ben Harris and Matt Odom. of Raleigh, were welcome visitors in our town the past Sun day.' The former spent his time here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Harris, the latter ac companied by his brother. Mr. Jaryis Odom, drove over to Creeksville and spent the day with their parents. To our country friends, who have been afraid to venture here on account of the measles, we wish to say, that not a vestige of the hateful malady remains, so come now and stay as long-as you please. The health of . the town was never better than now. Miss Eva Foster left Sunday for a week's visit to -her cousin, Miss Maggie Vassor, of Pleasant Hill. We know one, if no more, that will be glad when this long week has passed. Miss Jessie Barrett of Mur freesboro.arrived Saturday night on No. 93 and will spend the next ten days here with relatives and friends. She is, at present, a most welcome guest in the home of her uncle, Mr. J. T. Maddrey. Mrs. Hannah Jordan, whom everybody knows and loves, is visiting in the home of her sis ter, Mrs. Mary E. Gay. Mrs, J. - T. Maddrey leaves Tuesday for LittletoD, to be pres ent Wednesday A.M. at the mar riage of her schoolmate. Miss Pattie L. Bowers to Mr. Green Gay of this vicinity. The bridal party will pass here on No, 38 Wednesday P. M. , enroute to Philadelphia and other Northern cities. They expect to be ,"At Home" to friends after the 28th inst. The friends of this couple, which are legion, will join us in wishing for them long, happy, and useful lives. Agent Cumming, who was very sick last Friday from the effects of a chill, and whose R. R, duties were attended to by Mr. Brown of Gumberrv.we are glad to report on duty again. Miss Ilene Edwards, of the Pruden'Springs vicinity, was the esteemed guest of her aunt; Mrs, L. A. Carpenter, the past Satur day and Sunday. ; Mr." Will Grant of Jackson spent the past Sunday In the home of his uncle, Mr. M. F. Long. . Miss Jessie jGolliday. the capa ble milliner of Mrs. J. W. Leake, after a very successful season here, left for her home in Mary land last Friday. Rev. Lloyd A. Parker of Meno Ia, filled his monthly appoint ments at the Baptist church here the past Saturday and Sundav. -His sermon Sunday morning on the Sundav School was earnest, plain, pointed and practical, ac companied with a strong appeal to parents to bring instead of send their children to Sunday School. We hope this helpful sermon will arouse our people in the interest of the Sunday schools here as nothing has ever done before. Our superintendents are doing the best they can. butthiy need the cooperation of all. The usual Sunday evening service was interfered with by a thun der storm at the hour of preach ihg service, however, a few of the faithful had arrived before the storm gathered and these were lead n an enjoyable, up lifting prayer service by pastor Parker. Five additions, by let ter. was one of the features of this monthly service. The church decided to hold a series of meet ings during the month of Octo ber, the date of which will be announced later. Larger quantities of oats and rye have been cut and cured in this section this season, than in manv years. Old Zick. Resolutions Adopted by inlander Baptist Church Saturday, June 3rd, 1911. Whereas, many conflicting rumors have been given credence, pertaining to the position taken by our Pastor. Rev. R. 1 Giy relative to the strained relations that seem to have arisen between him and one of our members, Brother A. W. Early; therefore he it resolved: , That it is the belief of this church that our Pastor has sought to do that which he conceived to be his duty in preserving the moral condition of the communi ty and the christian standard and integrity of the church; that if he, has erred, it was not for the purpose of inflicting injury or personal hurt to any one of his members. Resolved 2nd: That it is the sense of the church, that any persona feelings that may have grown out of the matter in ques tion, should be buried; that the statement made by Brother Gay to Brother Early saying "that he was only doing that which he conceived to be his duty and if he had done that which was cal culated to wound or hurt his feel ings, he was sorrv and begged pardon," should be accepted by Brother Early in good faith, and that the statement made bv Brother Early in open confer ence in the May 1911 meeting, to wit: "That he conceded to Brother Gay, sincerety of pur pose, and if he had said or done anything to tho injury of him he was sorry and begged pardon,". should also be accepted by Broth er Gay; that a further discussion or agitation of this matter can bring no good to the church or to the parties more directly involv ed, and that for the peace and harmony of the church, all past unpleasantness should be buried, and in the future all strive to cultivate and bring into life the spirit of charity and helpfulness. That a copy of these resolu tion be sent to The Windsor Ledger and to the Roanoke Chowan Times for publication. , , Respectfully submitted. THE ORIGIN OF BOCKS. How lochs Become Deposited 00 the LandIdeal Water Bearers. The geologist divides rockB in to three general classes igneous rocks, originating from the mol ten magma forced upward from the bowels of the earth, such as granite and the various lavas; sedimentary rocks, consisting of disintegrated particles of the ig neous rocks which have been re formed into rocks themselves, such as sandstone; and metam orphie rocks, consisting of ig neous or sedimentary rocks whose composition has been greatly changed by intense heat, chem ical action , or other causes, as for instance, a limestone that has beer, changed to marble-. Sedimentary rocks, as stated in the geologic atlas of tne Unit ed States Geological Survey, are usually made up of layers or beds which, can be easily seiarated. These layers are called strata and rocks deposited in such layers are termed stratified. The surface of the 'earth is not immovable; over wide regions it very slowly rises or sinks with reference to the sea, and shore lines are thereby changed. As a result of upward' movement marine sedi mentary rocks may become part of the land, and most of our land areas are in fact occupied bv rocks originally deposited as sed iments in the sea. Sandstone is perhaps the sim plest example of a sedimentary rock. Obviously sandstone was Unce sand, and again each grain of san J was once a part of some older rock. This sand was first eroded and then deposited and either subjected to great pressure by overlying masses perhaps thousands of feet thick or cement ed together by chemical solutions. Where the stone was formed by simple pressure it contains a large proportion of open spaces and thus becomes an ideal water bearer. Some sandstones will carry as much es 6 quarts of water to the cubic foot of stone. In other varieties the interstices may have been filled with ce menting material so that the rock may be for all practical purposes almost as dense as granite. The State Normal College. We desire to call attention to the advertisement of the' State Normal and Industrial College which appears in this issue. Every year shows a steady growth in this Institution devot ed to the higher education of the women, of North Carolina. The College last year had a total enrollment of 909 students. Eighty-seven of the ninety-eight counties of the State had repre sentatives in the student body. Nine-tenths of all the graduates of this institution have taught or are now teachirg in the schools of North Caralina. The dormitories are furnished by the State and board is provi ded at actual cost. Two hun dred appointments with free tui tion, apportioned among the several counties according to school population, will be award-, ed to' applications about the mid dle of July. Students who wish to attend this institution next year should make application as early as possible, as the capacity of the dormitories is limited. Her Rain; Does vour husband remember your wedding anniver sary: Mrs. Smith-No; so I remind him of it in January and June, and get two presents. "Harper's Bazar. - For Jesus' Sake. Christian Herald At a well-known hal! in Lon don an infide! club held ite regu lar meeting. Mr. Bradlaugb. a noted lecturer, delivered a scratch ing attack on Christianity, and dared, any man to answer him. The chairman said: "No one here is likely to try, Mr. Bradlaugh. We are all of your way of think ing." But a gas-fitter arose and said: "1 have been a member of this club for five years. You all know me. Some of you have been in my home. S:: months ago 1 lost my work, and 1 was ill, and, to make things worse, my wife was ill too. Not one of you came near me, tnougn roy illnetis was known here. But some one came, and that man and his wife nursed us and pro vided for uk otherwise neither my wife nor i would have been alive today, that man was a city missionary whom I had driv en from my home with threats. When I was well enough to think I asked myself whv he had been so kind to me, and I could not tell. So 1 asked him. and he told me he had done it for the love of Lhrist. Now that is my answer to Mr. Bradlaugh. I sav that a religion which will briDg a man to the bedside of ont who has hated and cursed him, and re turns good for evil, love for hate, is a good thing for this troubled life, and I take it for myself. I have seen it in operation and I know it is good." The Whipping Post No tore. Richmond Virginian. There can be no denial of the fact that the wife-beater is a problem and that upon conviction he should he severely dealt with, It is not to be admitted for a moment that the women of this country are to be subjected to cruelty at the hands of those who once professed to love them without just and commensurate punishment being meted out to the abject specimen of manhood guilty of such conduct More than providing punish ment for a single offense, how ever, it is to be desired that the evil be corrected. The history of the whipping-post in this country shows that the victim of the flog ging has not been morally bene fitted by the torture, nor has his complaining spouse If there is any sense of decency, humanity or manhood in a creature who beats his wife, this hidious and barbaric tortue draws it out of him through the welts on his back. The whipping post has been proved to deaden every sen sibility and benumb every faculty in a man save his thirst for the blood of the one responsible for it, his wife. In the majority of cases he is liberated from the whipping-post only to return to his home and commit a crime which is punishable by something which to him is less awtul than a flogging.
