Mr. and Mrs Sam Kee attend ed services at Elim Baptist church, of which Dr J.A.Speight is pastor, the past Sabbath. The afternoon was very pleasantly spent in the home of Mr. Kee's parents. Mesdames Pattie Parker and Alex Stephenson returned last week from Sarah Leigh Hospital where they have been undergo ing treatment for the past few weeks. It is to be hoped that both of these good women have been much benefitted. Watermelons are in evidence on our market. The absence of vegetables on our bill of fare may remind us of the exodus of 1911, but these luscious melons also remind us that the "laying by" and protracted meeting time is also near at band. This section was visited by an other fine rain Monday .morning, the heaviest yet. No plowing will be done now for several days Crops, as a whole, are in the most prosperous condition. The work of "laying by" is steadily puihed, soon farmer and team can take a well earned rest The friends of Mrs. Junius Bradley were delighted to see her at church Sunday, after many tedious months of weak ness and suffering. When this good woman's seat is vacant at the hour of worship, everybody knows sickness kept her away Mesdames Berry Bridgers of Conway, and Will Sears of the Mt.Carmel vicinity were esteem ed guests of their sister, Mrs, M. F. Long, the past Sunday. Just here, we will say. that little Mary Long, whose illness we noted last week, is no better. Mr. and Mrs. Green F. Gay at tended services here the past Sunday and spent the remainder of the day with Mr. and Mrs, J. T. Maddrey. The Woman's Missionary Soci ety of Seaboard Baptist church will hold its July meeting Mon day after the 4th Sunday, at 4 o'clock in Seaboard Baptist church. All interested ' in this phase of mission work are cor dially invited to attend. Mem bers of the Y. W. A. Society are urgently requested to meet with the W. M. S. members. Mr. J. Thomas Maddrey, after a ten day's visit to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Maddrey, left last week for his position in New port News, Va. Miss Willie Stephenson, we regret to say,' leaves Tuesday for the remainder of the summer. She will spend most of her time at Southampton Cottage, Ocean View, Va the summer home of her cousin, Mr. John T.Maddrey. Miss Willie is such a faithful Sunday school attendant and helper in every good work, that her absence will be very keenly felt A series of meetings wJl begin with Mt Carmel Baptist church 3rd week in August Pastor Lloyd Parker has secured Bro. Abbott to assist him in these meetings. We learn there will be afternoon services only. Mrs. John R. Stephenson and children of Wilmington, arrived Saturday, nd will spend some weeks visiting her husband's rel atives. Messrs.

Mrs. Will Jones and sister Miss Minnie, wife and sister of our new R, R. agent, returned Saturday from a week's sojourn at Ocean View, Va. Rev. Lloyd A. Parker filled his regular appointments at Seaboard Baptist church the past Satur day and Sunday. Fine audiences greeted him and heard three ex cellent sermons, His Sunday morning sermon has been pro nounced, by many, the best yet He did not fail to prove that faith in JeBus Christ is needed every where and His gospel will meet all the requirements of the world. Bro. Jack Pruden, aged eighty- five years, died at his home near Mt. Carmel church, Tuesday, July 13, 1911, of old age and gen eral debility. Bro. Pruden was a true and faithful member of Mt. Carmel Baptist church, (we suppose its oldest member.) and will be sadly missed in the church and section where he lived and labored. He leaves two children Mr. Joe Pruden and Mrs. Joe Stephenson, besides grandchil dren and a host of friends to mourn their loss. His remains were .interred in the family cem etery. To his bereaved family we extend sincere sympathy. Miss Nita Long, after an ex tended visit to relatives in Lynch burg, Va., has returned, accom panied by her cousin, Miss Ber tha Covington, who will visit her many relatives in and around Seaboard the coming weeks. Mr. J. R. Bradley of the mer cantile firm of Taylor-Bradley, (iumberry, wno recently pur chased the Grubbs gin property here, has begun operating his saw mill here. We hear he is expecting several car loads of machinery this week and will soon have his planing mill ready for business. Wewelcome this new industry in our midst and hope the report that Mr. Bradley has purchased a home here, is quite true. ' :v;v"; Death has again broken' the ties of friendship and hushed the cheerful voice of our young friend Jim W. Maddrey. The second link in this family chain was broken July 13, 1911, in the tows of Franklin, Va., when the spirit of this young man, of 23 years, went home to God who gave it We knew Jim from baby hood. He was a remarkably bright boy and entered Sunday school in his tender years. He was a grandson of the late James W. Maddrey and for whom he was named. He was the oldest of a family of three children. Three years ago his father' died. We had hoped for manv yea's of usefulness for him. We are all sad. His remains reached here last Weduesday noon accompa nied by his uncles, Messrs. Hen ry and John Maddrey, Norfolk, Va., Mrs. Henry Maddrey, Nor folk, Va.,Mrs. Lavinia Maddrey, Oxford, Mr. James McLemore, Portsmouth, Va., (his faithful friend.) The long, sad, funeral procession wended its way to the old Maddrey home, where after a brief, but impressive service, by Rev. E. N. Harrison, all that was mortal of Jim was laid to rest to await the resurrection morn, ihe newly made grave was covered in lovely flower?. There are many surviving rel atives and friends with whom we heartily sympathize. .Children's Day exercises wil be appropriately observed at Seaboard M. E. church 4th Sun day evening. The exercises wil begin at 8 o'clock. The public cordially invited. Much time and patience has been spent in the preparation of the varied program and we feel sure all wil oe richly repaid lor making an extra effort to be numbered ; among the audience. Old Zick. Tbe Pocket Nerve Kinston Free PreBB. In the framing of this recipro city pact President Taft for the purpose of saving the day, from a politicial standpoint, for him self and his administration, ap proached the matter with a great deal of adroitnees. "His trump card" was to get into the good graces of newspapers of the coun try by appealing to their selfish ness. And his appeal ha6 been to no small degree, effective, The agreement which he haB furthered would give to the news papers free print paper and free wood pulp. In the hearings be fore the senate committee a rep resentative of the Newspapers Publishers' Association testified that these features would mean a saving of $600,000 a vear to the members of the association, and admitted that the paper would not be sold to the people of the United States for one cent less if they had free print paper or pulp wood. Reciprocity would effect a sav ing to tfaelnewspapers; and Presi dent Taft knew that the pocket nerve in a newspaper office is just as sensitive as the pocket nerve is in tbe average citizen elsewhere. He touched this'nerve and the response has no doubt been highly gratifying to him Especially among the great met ropolitan papers has the presi dent's policy met with hearty support. There are many unselfish advo cates of reciprocity, both in the newspaper profession, in tne halls of congress and elsewhere. But thoughtlessness and selfish ness, too, play all along this line. It is a.very influential factor. He who goes the gait he should not go, shows the traits he should not Bhow, blows the stakes he should not blow, soon knows the aches that are his to know. The Roanoke-Chowan Times and Bryan's Commoner $1.65. Tbe Printer's Unique Distinction Danville (Va ) Register. The interesting statistical fact was recently developed that among the 1,200 or more convicts in the Virginia penitentiary there is not among them a printer. It seems that the editor of a week ly newspaper recently wrote to Governor Mann, making inquiry on the subject with a view to giving the man employment, the governor sought information at the penitentiary with the result that not a printer could be found among the felons in striped garb. . It might be asserted that this is a mere curious accident, inas much as there have recently been preachers, lawyers, physicians and men of every avocation among this large criminal class, and perhaps tne condition is unique. There is a reason, how ever, why more printers are not criminals: In the first place the trade or art is one in which a man need rarely remain long un employed. The demands for printers is still great, even since the invention of several typeset ting machines. The hand com positor cannot be dispensed with yet and there is scope for much taste and judgment in the busi ness of band composition. In the first place the printer is sel dom a loafer. If he loafs or sprees for a time, he goes back to work again. Another reason for this immunity from criminality is the fact that the printer who has been at te business for any length of time i? usually intelli gent and well informed. Not a few men have acquired piacti cally all the education they have at the case. They think as they work and read. Indeed, no man will become a prominent printer who does not soon begin to un derstand what he reads. Gener ally the ability to speak and write corectly and fluently comes to the man who stands all day pick ing up type and aligning them in a "stick." Life would be a dreary monotony to him if he did not comprehend what he is put ting in type. Intelligence, education and em ployment are antipathetic to crime, just as ignorance and idle ness are contributory to it. All hoDor to the calling whose thous ands have no representative in the felon class. May the avocation maintain its present high standard and prove an ex ample and an inspiration to the future apprentices to maintain the ethics of the "art preserva tive of all the arts." Reflections of a Bachelor. New York Press. A man can be much prouder of his wife for her good-looking clothes than for her noble char acter. An old fox learned most of his wisdom put of the foolishness of his youjih, but folk arn't foxes. When a man is a particularly insufferable bore, it's a sign it's about how he takes his exercise. A woman who had no opinions of her own when she was engag ed has all the more ' after she is married. It isn't that a widow is much more tricky than other women; it's that she knows how to ap pear so much lesB that eh'e gets more chances. Tbe Resell He established a newspaper in a small town already boasting three newspapers. He said he did it "to fill a long felt want" .The result was he has felt a long wanted fill ever since. -Ey. TEE GOLDEN HAIRED IRISH. Majority ot Emerald Isle Sons Are Tall sod Blond Beaotltul ot torm. There is a curious idea at the back of the American mind that the typical Irishman is red-hair ed and if anything of short stature. To the British mind Pat is black-haired, while the Scotchman is sandy. This shows how the average man will lazily acquiesce in a characterization born perhaps in caricature rather than actively use tbe evidence of his senses. In reality the major ity cf the Irish are blond, even most of the dark Irish having blue eyes, while both Irish and Scotch belong to the tallest races in the world. Thus Caesar, comparing the large limbs of the Irish Gauls 1 with the small stature of the Ro mans, calls them tall and fair haired and admires their "mirifi ca corpora. " Strabo says of an Irish-speaking trib",the Coritavi. "to show how tall they are, I myself saw some of their young: men in Rome.and they were tall er by 6 inches than any one else in the city." Any one who to day sees Irish and Italian work man together will note how little physical characteristics have changed in 2,000 years. Giraldus Cambrensis wrote in the twelfth, century, following a visit: "In Ireland man retains all his majes ty. Nature alone has molded the: Irish, and as if to show what she can do has given them counten ances of exquisite color and bodies of great beauty.symmetry and strength." Silius Italicus speaks of tne golden locks and powerful limbs of the Boil, an Irish tribe. Edmund Spencer, the poet., wrote in 1596: "Great warriors say that in all the services tney have seen abroad they never saw a more comely man than the Irishman, nor that cometh on more bravely to his charge." Fynes Morrison, Spencer's con temporary, that the cattle of Ire land are small and "only the men and the greyhounds are of great stature," a reference to the famous wolf-hound so admired by the Romans. The oldest Irish epics celebrate tall, fair-haired,, gray-eyed heroes, armed and clad in Galilc fashion. The fa mous contemporary description of Cormac Mac Art, high king of Erin (226 266;, presiding over' the parliaments at Tara, begins; "Flowing and slightly curling was his golden hair" and ends "And he was himself besides tall, symmetrical, and beautiful of form, without blemish or re proach." These references are interesting as showing how the Irish have retained their distinct ive physique through their splen did history of thrice a thousand years as well as through the hardships of the last three hun dred. - Herbert O'Hara Molineux, in Letter to New York Sua.
