Harris, Mrs. Council Vick returned to her home near Branchville, Va., last Saturday afternoon. Mr. Fred Weaver a l rived Sat urday from Norfolk, Va., and is at present in the home of his parents. We hear he has been employed to assist in work on the High School building. Mrs. J. W. Johnson, (.familiar ly known here as Miss Martha Wester) of Conway, is giving her frienda much pleasure by returning among them this week Mrs. Maggie iEllis returned to her home in Port Norfolk, Va., the past Sunday. She was ac companied by her mother, Mrs. J. E. Cuthrell, who will spend some weeks with her. After a pleasant ten days visit to relatives in Norfolk and Ports mouth, Va., Miss Alice Gay re turned to her home here last Fri dav. The weather fo'r the past few days reminds one that the hot summer days of 1911 are disap pearing. We are not onlv re minded by the weather that fall I i at hand but we also noticed many new fall hats out Sunday. Our two millineries have their stocks in and are -now Teady to supply folks with aH kinds of head gear. There is no need, friends, to igo to Weldon for hats when the assortment 'here is as varied as you 'find in any -first class miltinery. Little Miss Ruth Vick, who visited her sister, Mrs. J. L. Harris, at Garysburg last week, was accompanied home Sunday by her little niece, Sarah Alice Harris, who will -spend a few day 8 here with ber grandparents Mr. Louis Sessoms of Norfolk. Va., was an appreciated visitor in the home of Mt. and Mrs. -J, T. Maddrey the past Sabbath. Mrs.Loretta Smith of Roanoke Rapids arrived Sunday and is visiting her nephew, Mr. H Luther Stephenson and other rel atives this week. Mrs. W. W. Jones left Monday for a few davs stay among for mer friends in Wake Forest. Miss Josie Maddrey, after spending two weeks here with tier parents, Mr, and Mrs. J. T. Maddrey, left last Sunday for her position in Norfolk, Va. Miss Josie is very popular here and many regrets are expressed at her decision to remain .indefinite ly in the Cities by the Sea. . Many of our farmers are en gaged in peanut digging this week. Some think the crop poorer than last year. Cotton hands are still scarce. People continue to sell notwithstanding the low price. Our market here has been quite active since the beginning of the season, and as a natural consequence our mer chants are enjoying increased trade. Miss Lottie Stephenson left Monday to resume her school work in Southern Female Col lege", Petersburg, Va. She will complete her course at this insti tution next June. We shall miss her genial pressnce very much but we also know our loss is her gain. We learn with , regret, that Capt Tom Hargrave, an aged Confederate Veteran, is desper ately ill at the Gumberry Hotel. He has been very feeble for. some time, we nope tor mm speedy restoration to health. The series of meetings with Seaboard. Baptist church will be gin next Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock and continue through out the week. There will be an afternoon and evening Bervice each day. PaBtor Lloyd A. Par ker will be ably assisted by his brother, Rev. C. J. D. Parker of Portsmouth, Va. Many are pray ing for a real revival of religion here and we trust these prayers may be answered. Miss Emma Taylor left last week for a course in the Green ville Training School. Miss Em ma is one of our most popular young ladies and we are confi dent she will win many honors in this fine school. Mr. Zeb V. Maddrey, wife and twojchildren of Indianapolie.Ind., arrived last Tuesday night and are spending this week in the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Maddrey. The reunion with friends of hiB childhood has been very pleasant He plans to leave here on or about tne 10th of October. He hopes to meet many more friends at the ap proaching meeting in Seaboard Baptist church where be still re tains his membership. Mr. and Mrs. Lenwood Ford of Margarettsville were here Sun day guests of Mr. and Mrs. Sui ter Rogers. Tfeey left, in their auto, in the afternoon, for a call on Jackson relatives, accompa nied by Mrs, Rogers and little son Joe. Mr. Whit Harris, after spend ing some days in the North pur chasing goods for tbe enterpris kigfirm of Crocker & Harris, has' returned nd is hard at work aagain. !j Friends here have received in vitations to the. mtrriage of Mr, Luther Pruden to Miss Hattie Fleetwood on Oct. 4th. These are verv popular young people and all wish for them many years of wedded bliss. Mr. Harvey Long and wife of me tax. uarmei vicinity, were welcome guests Sunday of Mr. R. D.. B. Maddrev and family. Tbe friends of Mrs.Pattie Bar. ker will be sorry to learn that she fief t Monday for treatment in Keltscm's Hospitak Richmond, Va. We hope she can be rcliev ed of 'her distressing malafcj and return to her children tnucu im proved in every respect. There is not a single ease of fever here now. Tbe four cases of the entire, summer are up and abort their business. There are somecases in the country yet, we heac, and not one of then have been to Seaboard this year. It is rather astonishing that typhoid could emanate from aay source except this town. Seaboard High School evened Monday A. M. with a very cred itable showing. As is the cus tom, many children in the spe cial district are kept at home to work so a full attendance will not be possible earlier than Dec. Our ' four teachers, Prof. J. R. Ware and wife, Misses Fagge and Hayes are here and ready for work. The old building will be utilized until the new build ing can be completed, which con tractor Stanford says will not be later than Nov. 1st, This door of opportunity is open to all chil dren and it's such a pity that any should be denied this privi lege. We have .here as strong faculty as can be found any where. We hope they are teach ing because tney ieei called to do such'grand work and will not only teach their scholars the classics, but by example and precept teach them to be men and women of sterling virtue. FOK GOOD ROADS. County Association Organized tod fori Begon-Pitstdent Tamer Delivers Able Address. Ai announced in last week's issue, there was a meeting at Jackson last Monday in the in terest of good roads. Dr. Pratt could not be there but an able substitute was sent In the person of H. B. Varner, President of the State Association, editor of the Lexington Dispatch, the Southern Good Roads Magazine, the leading publication of the kind in the country, and promoter of many good works that means greater North Carolina. Mr. Varner was happily intro duced by Hon. B. S. Gay, the father of the Northampton Road Law. We have not the space in the paper at our disposal to at tempt a report of Mr. Varner's speech. It was forceful, able, logical, and delivered with an earnestness that carried convic tion. Monday morning Mr. Var ner traveled over aoout 30 miles of Northampton roads. He waB surprised to see such a good country, and said we could build good roads at little expense,much less than in the Piedmont and Western sections of the State, We have everything necessary to Duiwgooa roads, ana nave no engineering problems. Sand-clay are the best roads foi our sec tion, and they can be keptvp at verv little expense. After the address & 'County Good Roads Association was or gamzed, composed of good citi zens from every part of tfeecoun- ty, witk the fallowing tcembers John & Moore, Dr. R. P. More head, John &.

From Physical Culture Ftr Oi-toltr Worry is disease. In fact it is ofttimes associated with a phvEical disorder of some kind. The inclination to worry over trifles is universal. Some peo ple have acquired the worry hab it. It sticks to tnem like an ad hesive plaster. Their first men tal efforts on rising each day is to seek out some unpleasant sub ject to worry about. One can readily imagine the disappoint ment that would ensue should a person of this character find no thing to worry about. But, this would be an unusual sensation, fer one can always find some thing to worry about. If not a misfortune of yesterday, then one of the day before if not of this vear. then of last year. If you are a victim of the worry habit, you are uselessly wasting valuable energies. ReBt assured that life will be of little value to vou or anyone else. Physical exercises is of inval uable assistance in this respect When you find, for instance, that you can not possibly avoid wor- rying,tben immediately find some means of actively using the mus cles of your body. Take a long walk or play some game in the open air that will keep you con tinuously and pleasantl? occupi ed. If this is difficult or impos sible, take some exercise in your room. Work persistently and vigorously until the blood is bounding througtoyour arteries, 1 antil yoa feel the pulsation of new life stirring your entire phv- I sica'l owrapism. iRealize the tre- ji mendecis possibilities in '.ife ud stop wasting yar time -with tri fling grievances. You must re member that worries are never important, notwithstanding the value they may Beem to aescme in your life. Their only impor tance is the power they have for hutm, and if their power is evil, then by alt xseans they should be made to stamp them uot of your life. You can rest assured that the-exercises taken as a worry ctre will -accomplish the desired pxrposeif they are given your -entire -attention, and se H the icuscles f your body and vigo rously aracse the activity cf your kngs-and heart Beliot Be iLmet. -Power is the goal of every am totion, and only weakness comes from imitation or dependence on ofchere.teys Orison Swett Marden in "Success Magazine."

The man who tries to give his children a start in the world so that they will not have so hard a time as he had, is unknowingly bringing disaster upon them. What he calls giving them a start will probably give.them a setback in the world. Young people need all the motive power they can get. They are naturally leaners. imitators, copiers, and it is easy for them to develop into echoes, imitation. They will not walk alone while vou furnish crutches; they will lean upon you: just as long as you will let them. - The Roanoke-Chowan Times and the Weekly Progressive Far- tier $1 85,' THE VALUE OF RYE. Necessity ol urgaoic Hatter In The Soli or Greeo Kaourlng. We have now attempted to ex plain the phenomenon called "souring of the soil" and to point out a practicable remedy, namely; roll the green manuring crop, disc it a number of times in the op posite .direction to the rolling while yet green and succulent in order to cut it into small bits; plow it under, disc it once or twice after plowing, depending on the amount of material on the land: with the disc set with a slight angle in order to pulverize and mix the cut-up vegetable matter with the whole soil stratum, and allow the land to settle a few weeks and receive . one or mor good rains. We shall take up in succession? and discuss the value of a num ber of humus forming materials., other than animal manures, and then point out methods of hand ling them in connection with dif ferent crops. In a previous chapter we gave the average chemical analysis of a large cumber of samples of green rve in which we found that material to contain 10 lbs. of nitrogen, 5 lbs, phosphate, and' 14 lbs. of potash per ton.. All of these constituents are taken from the soil by the roots, built into the tissues of the plant and giv en out again to a succeeding: crop when the rye decays. A crop of green rye weighing: eight tons to the acre is? easily krrown on the average farm in N. C. This amount of green rye in corperaied with the first ten in ches of a ten acre field would i furnish to the soil of this fields in a reaauy avauaoie jorm. suu lbs. of nitrogen, 400 lbs. of phos phate and 1120 lbs. of potash. This is as much nitrogen as would be furnished by 20 tons, of an 8 2-2 fertilizer or 100 loads of fresh cow manure. The phos phate in this amount of green, stuff is equal to that contained in 21 tons of au 8-2-2 fertilizer or in 200 tons, or loads, of fresh horse manure. The potash con tained in this material is equal: to that found in 28 tons of an 8-2-2; fertilizer or in 150 tons of fresh horse manure. Sufficient rye to so seed the ten acres will cost, around $15, whereas it would cost $75 to haul and spread the 150 tons of stable manure In the above we have mention ed merely the plant food .consti tuents rendered available bv the rve and have not taken into ac count the vast amount of humus for holding moisture and improv ing the texture of the soil. Be sure to sow quantities of rye this fall for plowing under next spring before planting. Next week we expect to discuss the use of wheat straw and green corn as manure. J. L.

No editor should let his politi cal zeal or partisanship interfere with the working of the equili- brator of his judgment. Party loyalty does not consist of misre presenting facts, slandering op ponents, or blindly adhering to the heresies, that creep into the platforms of all parties.
