J., for several years, is on a visit to his father and other relatives. He held a clerkshiD in Seaboard for many years and was here Saturday re ceiving the welcome hand-shake from his many friends. Hi, like all loyal Tar Heels, is very fond of his county paper ' "The Times" - - - and left with us his annual sud- scription. Mrs. Nina Niblett of Spring HoDe.Mis8 Mary Foster of Ports mouth, Va., and little MisB Eliz abeth and Master Leon Tucker, also of Portsmouth, are welcome guests, this week, of their par ents and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Foster. Misb Garnette Crocker, after an absence of three weeks with a schoolmate, in Macon, return ed to her home here the pest 'riday. Mr. Lenwood Ford and family of Maragrettsville came up in their auto last Sunday and spent the afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Suiter Rogers. Miss Ida S. Gay, who has been spending a portion of her vaca tion with her sister. Mrs. J. T. Pruden of Portsmouth, returned to her home here last Friday evening. Messrs. Edgar M. Harris and Jonn Darden of Branchville, while speeding around the country in Mr. Harris' new auto last Sun day, stopped here for awhile with Mr. Harris father, Mr. B. F. Harris. The many friends of Mrs. Pat- tie Barker will be saddened to know that she left here last Fri day for treatment in a Norfolk hospital. The drought here was relieved by a good rain early Monday morning, the largest we have had since first of May. No wind accompanied the storm, of any consequence, but; the electrical disDlay was rather startling dur ing the progress of the storm. We hear that neighbor W. T. Jones and Ned Phillips (colored) each lost a cow by the lightning. Mr. Jones, of Warfield, Va., the R R. agent that succeeds Agent Cumming here, will take charge of the office on the mora ine of July 4th. We take this means of welcoming Mr, Jones and wife to our town. We hope their coming may mean mutual good. Little Miss Nannie Jones is sick with very high temperature at the home of her parents. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Jones. , The Sunday school excursion on June 30th, embracing the Sunday schools of Weldon.Garys hurar. Jackson, Seaboard and MarearettBville, carried the larg est crowd last Friday that has ever seized this opportunity of making a cheap trip to the"Cities bv the Sea." Ocean View was the mecca of .the majority, but the other resorts were liberally patronized also, Messrs. Andrew Crocker and Ben Stancill spent the past Sab bath at Ocean View,' Va. v. The livliest interest is being taken in the celebrations for the glorious Fourth. All the, plans have been perfected . and every. thine is in readiness for the lawn party, the biggest event Rpnhoard has seen in a long time. 1W nicnics at Pruden Springs and Taylor's mill pond will also be largely attended. Miss Jessie Barrett, after a visit of two weeks to relatives here and in the country, left for her home near Murfreesboro.last Saturday morning. Mr. Frank RobinBon and wife have rented the furnished home of Mrs. Lucie Grubbs. They be gan house-keeping July 1st with Mrs. Grubbs as their only boara fir- Mr. Vernon Davis, wife and two children of Newport News, Va.. who have been visiting his mother, Mrs. L. A.

Miss Elizabeth Ramsay left last week for Ricnmond, Va., where she joined her brother J. T. Ramsay and wife for a ten Hav trin to Niagara Falls and other places of interest. Mrs. Jessup has joined her husband, who has been here some months in the interest of The Seaboard Lumber Co They hope $0 set up housekeeping be fore the end of the week. The cotton crop seemingly is standing the distressing drought which was broken by a fine rain Mondav. better than most any other vegetation and . is looking fine. The crop will be several weeks earlier than last year. Several farmers report blooms. Peanuts are fairly good, but corn bas been damaged bv lack of rain- Gardens have ' suffered most of all. Vegetables very scarce. The foundations are now being made for the $5700.00 State High School building here. The bricks have arrived and are all on the grounds. Much of the framing timber is in readiness for the saw and hammer. The building will be ready for occupancy Oct. 1, 1911. Old Zick. Fight (bellies and Reduce Sickness All People Should War.

The habits of Chicago boys con tinue to receive the attention of the medical journals, particular ly the habit of smoking. There is a growing belief that students beirin the use of tobacco too early and follow it up with too great zeal. And it is well-ascertained fact that college students who do not smoke attain, as a general thing, a higher rank than those who do. Smoking, sanely says the Medical Journal, of New York, mav be accepted as a symp- tun of the contemplative habit of mind or. to put it less kind 1. of the lazy habit of mind, Bat contemplativeness should not h?ffin too soon. Laziness is tne last thing desired in a voung man who, by the very nature of his ODen professions, is expectea to be "up and doing" in a stiff endeavor to qualify himself for future success. Tobacco, along with other stimulates, really be longs to middle age, according to the same authority. At that time of life the nervous system hecina to be impaired, and the mild narcotics have their value in conserving energy in prevent ing waste. ; For the youth of twenty to adopt the props some times desirable for the man ot fnrrv is an error. By adopting such a course he unconsciously confesses to a premature degen eration. The college boy who postpones for a while the use of pipes and cigarettes may count upon emerging from his educa tional ordeal with better body, brain and prospects. ' The Roanoke-Chowan Times and the Weekly Progressive r ar mer $1 86. The fly is a carrier of disease. That is, of many of those diseas es which are contagious, com monly known as catching. To understand the part that the fly play3 in carrying these diseases, it is necessary to have in mind both the actual cause of these diseases and the nature, struc ture and habits of the fly. The diseases in question are caused bv bacteria. The bacterial the orv of these diseases, advanced some thirty yearB ago. is . now j thoroughly and absolutely estab lished. It his been repeatedly ! proved, bv placing proper bacter !ia in susceptible animals and lulants, that these bacteria can ', make the healthy organism sick . . - j -i r ... '. onen unio aesui.i. oavrcna exceedingly small, the smallest Lving thingB. They are plants j and measure, the ordinary ones, .something in the neighborhood 'of one-fifty thousapdth of an jinch in length. It would take j more than two hundred of them ! placed end to end to reach a dis tance equal to the thickness of the paper on which this is print ed. A half millioQ or so could repose comfortably on a dot over the letter in this line Though they are so small, they increase uritri siifth raniditv that one. to- jday, may. within twelve hours, i have an offspring of more than sixteen million. They also pro duce violent poisons, the most in tense poison known to man. To their rapid multiplication and their poison producing power they owe their strength Since they are so small a million or bo may be carried on the feet ot a flv without burdening it. So much for the bacteria. The habits of the fly, all know, we have but to watch it a mom ent to see it flittering higher and higher, alighting here and there stepping into everything clean and filthy. It needs not the lm agination to appreciate that in its daily rounds it may step into the sputum of a consumptive or excreta from a typhoid patient, into contagious sores or dozens of other places of filth and dis ease. From such places it may flv to us. walk over us, dip into our food and leave contagion. This is no mere theory because it has been proved by experiment that the fly can carry germs. They have been found on his feet. Both typhoid germs and tuberculosis germs have been found on the feet of flies. More over actual cases of disease have many times been traced to flies, Among the diseases known to be borne are typhoid fever, cholera, anthrax, dysentery, tuberculosis summer diarrhoea infants, and the plague. With us, of course, most of these diseases do not come into consideration. The one which is of chief importance here is typhoid fever, with some emphasis on tuberculosis. It is certain that, throughout the city, excreta and tubercula sputum bearing millions and millions of bacteria are lying open accesible to flies. It is equally certain that flies visit these things and that their feet, as they fly away, are laden with them. Any fly which we see on our food has with it the nossibilitv that it is bearing typhoid or tuberculosis. , In. the light of these facts the flv must cease to be regarded merely as a nuisance but all must recognize that it deserves the name that it Is now coming to (ROM JACKSON. County in Good Financial Condition- Educational Progress Fine Crops-Personals. How One (arm Was Made Over. W. Wirt2, in ROeipb (N. C.) "'re gressive Farmer About five years ago a farmer came to us and said: '1 have never been anything else but a pinev woods farmer, but my boys, four of them, are grow ing up and 1 want to change, l want to cet out of the old - rut. He had never used any other nlow than a Boy Dixie, never used a smoothing harrow, had no mower, no hay-rake, had never made any hay, always pulled his fodder. He bought the above mentioned articles, and he and his boys went to work, thev did not scratch: they plowed, and a oreat imDrovement was made in the crops the first year, lhat fall a dairy of 12 cows was put in. One of the boys that was in Iovp with the work, took charge of it. The dairy more than paid the expense of operating the three-horse farm. One of the hnvs. throueh reading the farm papers, thought he would like a pannino- outfit. It waB purchas a lot of tomatoes were raised; alsm some neaches. beans and okra were canned, as well as a lot of hrn'fls. The family had all the canned goods they wanted and miit. a lot was sold: in fact. enough to pay for the outfit and Mrnerise for the canning, ine house was repaired, a large new harn was erected, wire fences were put up for cow and hog pas tures, registered cattle and hogs bought, and one passing by wouia not know the old place. Before the farm changed hands it. wan considered one of the poor est in the neighborhood, and the man that owned it hardly made a livinc Last year 1.800 bushels of sweet potatoes were raised, be sides corn, cotton and an abund ance of feed for the dairy. He paid $15.00 per acre five years ago, last fall he was offered $60. 00. There was a very small crowd here Monday, compared with the usual crowds first Mondays. There were fine rains in the Northern and Western parts of the county last Monday morning. Crops are reported fine all over the county. The various county boards were in session here Monday. The Board of Education bad so much business before it that they will have to meet again next Monday to finish the work. Material for the new school building if? being placed on the lot. and work will soon begin. The financial condition of the county is good. On July first there were about five thousand dollars to the credit of the Coun- tv fund and seven thousand dol lars to the credit of the road fund, it is reported that more work has been done on the roads this year than heretofore. Mr. Geo. E. Ransom is said to have very fine crops on all of his farms thiB year. The cotton od his farm near Garysburg is re ported to be very fine. Mr. James A. Worrell and bride are now at home to their friends. Reports received here indicate that the school elections will car ry at Milwaukee, Woodland and Lasker next Tuesday, though the vote at the latter two place. may be close. -The court house has beer greatly improved inside and cut. The Teachers' Institute begaa here next Monday, .and will cav timie for tetfAfl'" If the school elections alreadj called to be held in Northampton are carried for the schools. Mar- garettsville. Pleasant Hill andL Gumberry will be the only vil lages in Northampton haying nc snfiial school tax. The senti ment in favor of better schools has grown wonderfully during; the past six years. Self'CoDCiousness, tne Foe to Success. O. S. Maiden in "Success "Magazine. " Timidity, shyness, and self- conciousness belong to the same familv. We usually find all where we find any one, and they are enemies of peace of mind, happvness, and achievement. No one has ever done a great thing while his mind was centered up on himself. We must lose our selves before we can find our selves. Self analysis is valuable only to learn our strength; it is fatal if it makes us dwell upon our weaknesses. Timid, shy peo onle are morbidly self-conscious; they think too much about them selves. Their thoughts are turn ed inward; they are always an- ftlvzinar. dissecting themselves, wondering how they appear and what people think of them. If these people could only forget themselves and think of others, they would be surprised to see what freedom, ease and grace they would gain; what success in life thev would achieve. Thousands of young people are held back from undertaking what thev lonir to do. and are kept from trying to make real their oreat lif e-dreams. because they are afraid to jostle with the world. They shrink from expos ing their sore spots and sensitive points.' which smarts from the ligbest toucn. ineir supersenai- tiveness maices cowaras oi mem. Vacation Day?. Selected A man may like a girl all the more because she seems to nne him less. - The army of rest seekers grows larger every year, and each year we are learning better methods of spending our few precious hours of vacation in restful com munion with nature. It is not the great hotel, or the fashion able resort, or the yatching voy age or the automobile tour, but the zest in life, the happy dispo sition, the freedom from the daily grind, the finding of good fellowship along running brooks. under leafy trees, on the sides of mountains, on the shore of lake or river, that send us back to our work, hearted and happy. For anv of these, a great amount of money is not necessary; but be fore starting, one should have nlans formulated and arrange ments made so as to get the best out of whatever they may have to spare or spend. Everyone can not take a trip away from home. no matter how little money may he called for. because money is not all that is needed in the mat ter. With some it is family: with others business or health, or the comfort of others. But everyone should seek some change from the monotony of every day duty which binds them. ;,H A rlav in the woods, a few days in the country, a change of enrir- onment; association with peop! of our own kind, are all restf and we should all seek the be that can be bad.
