After a pleasant visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Fos ter, Miss Fannie Foster returned to her home with her sister, last Saturday, in Portsmouth, Va. While Seaboard is really this charming; young lady's ho me, she is persuaded to make such lengthy visits to her sister that we fear she has lost much of her first love. Many interested friends here are sorry to hear that Miss Eva Johnson of Gumberry, is again suffering with chills. We hope she may soon be herself again. Miss Norman Barnes, after a brief visit to relatives in the com munity found it expedient to re turn to the Hospital for extra treatment. While very discour aging, we still hope her health may be restored. Mrs. Green F. Gay is spending a few days with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Bowers, at their home near Littleton.

E. church Sunday A. M. They were informed that pastor Harrison was engrged in a meeting with his Garysburg church and could no-be present. Prof. Ware con ducted prayer service and made a verv edifying and entertaining talk on "Some of the needs of our cnurcnes today." He can preach a good sermon on short notice. Our venerable friend, Mr. B. F. Harris, has been very feeble for the past few days. We hope be may soon be well and strong again. Miss Willie Stephenson, who has been away all summer, de lighted friends here Saturday noon, by making an unexpected return. We hope to make it so pleasant and interesting for her here, that she will not be willing to absent herself so long again soon. Mr. Z. V. Maddrey and family who have been visiting here the past two weeks, will leave Wed nesday afternoon for a visit to his sister, Mrs. J. A. Harris, Norfolk, Va. On Friday morn ing he will start for his far away home in Indianapolis, Ind. He has had the pleasure of reuniting with many friends of the long ago, who, while proud to know, he is succeeding in the West, would be so glad to have him cast his lot among them again Mrs. Bettie E. Stephenson of Newport News, Va., will arrive Tuesday night and make her usual annual visit in the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Maddrey. She will, as usual, receive a warm welcome. Mr. Geo. W. Stephenson, who has been critically ill since last Monday was reported to be slight ly improved today. His life has been despaired of many times, but if the Lord's willjwe hope le may be raised from his bed of sickness. Miss Loula Maddrey, who is attending King's Business Col lege, , Raleigh, while passing to Norfolk, Va., to visit Mr. and and Mrs. Phillip. Stephenson, stopped here last Friday after noon and spent the night in the home of her grandfather, Mr. J. T Maddrey, in order to meet gain her uncle, Mr. Z. V. Mad drey, whom she had not seen in more than eight t earB. The approaching marriage of Mr. W. T. MaBsey to Miss Mar tha Harris was announced last week. The happy event will be solemnize.! on the 17th inst Both are well known here so we take this opportunity of wishing them long, happy and useful lives. Mr. R. D. B. Maddrey showed us an apple limb, cut from a tree on his farm the paBt Sunday.lhe limb was about 9 inches long and held 14 full sized bar seedling apples. We don't remember ever to have seen such a cluster so well developed. Quite a number from here at tended the usual monthly servic es at Pleasant Grove M. E. church Sunday afternoon and listened to a fine sermon by Dr. W. B. North. The cotton or army worm is spreading over this vicinity. On some farms they have stripped the cotton of every leaf and on some have begun to consume the green bolls. They arrived too late however, to do very much damage. A storm of cyclonic manners visited the Pleasant Grove vicin ity last Saturday afternoon up rooting trees, levelling fences, peanut shocks and fodder stacks. Fortunately no dwellings were damaged or lives lost. W under stand it blew the boards off the smoke house of Mr. Cnarley Hasty of the Mt. Carmel vicini ty. Rev. C. J. D. Parker of Ports mouth, Va., arrived Monday and begun the series of meetings he is to hold this week for his broth- j er. Rev. Lloyd Parker, with his i Seaboard Baptist church. Iheicludine: negotiations for the first day was verv threatening yet a good sized audience assem- Djea ior tne services ana were ampy repajd for coming. Mr Parker is no stranger to some of us and all who miss his sermons this week will be the losers. Friends over the county will learn with regret of the death of Capt. Tom Hargrave which sad event occurred last Saturday at his boarding house in Gumberry. His funeral services were con ducted at the grave in Seaboaad cemetery last Sunday afternoon by his pastor, Rev, E. N. Harri son, after which the impressive services of tne A- E. and A. Ma sons, of which he was a highly honored member, were conduct ed by Mr. J. T. Fly the of Jack- sonlLodge. Many members of Jackson and Margarettsyille lodges were in the procession. Mr. J. S. Grant of Jackson.made a few fitting remarks concerning his war record. Capt. Hargrave made his home here for a num ber of years and his familiar form will be sadly 'missed. He was a member of Seaboard M.E. church. He had almost reached his three score and ten, He leaves a daughter, Miss Gabie, for whom the sympathy of friends goes out now in her loneliness and grief. The death of Capt Hargrave removes from us an Other gray haired veteran, the ranks of which are growing very thin. Peace to his ashes. Messrs. Ned, Hinton and Jean Hargrave, sons of the late Mr. Albert Hargrave of Suffolk, Va., were here Sunday to attend the burial services of their uncle, Capt. Tom Hargrave Their kindness and generosity provid ed him with all things needful after the infirmities of old age overtook him. Perhaps he was never able to let them know how THE O0PH0NE. LODQ Distance Spesklog Without Wires. (From Consul General John L Griffiths, London, EoglanJ.) Experiments have been con ducted for some time past near Chepstow for the transmission of the human voice over long dis tances with the aid alone of the natural elements. The inventor, Mr. Grindell Matthaws, it is stated, submitted his discovery recently to a severe test in the presence of a number of experts. He was placed in the strong room of a big London commer cial house and locked in, with 9 inches of armor and steel, 9 inthes of fire brick, and 6 feet oi concrete between him and the outer world. By means of his small portable apparatus he car ried on a conversation with an operator in another room on the farther side of the building. So distinct and faithful was the transmission that the experts in attendance were actually able to hear the tick of his watch, not withstanding the almost impene trable mass between the two in struments. The inventor contemplates a further test through 5 miles of solid rock between Chepstow and Tintern. He is engaged in long distance tests m connection with the War Office, and on Septem ber 9,1911, Bpoke from Beachley. in bloucestershire, to a point over 5 12 miles away near the Severn Tunnel outlet on the op posite side of the river. He in tends to carry on experiments between Chepstow and Cardiri. abotit 25 miles. If he does this , successfully he is to go to Alder- shot to conduct some final dem onstrations with a view of con transfer of his rights in the Un ited Kingdom to the Government, Speaking to a representative of the Western Mail published at Cardiff, the inventor stated: "Vibrations produced in the air by his apparatus did not take the form of the Hertzian waves, as in the Marconi system of wire less telegraphy. In fact, they are not waves at all, inasmuch as the disturbances were of such high frequency that there was no appreciable break between them, their action was rather con tmuous than fitful and separate, as in the case of Hertzian waves. it was tnis high frequency pro duced by his apparatus that had made it possible for sounds to be reproduced and for all the fluc tuations and intonations of hu man speech to be transmitted so faithfully that the voice of the speaker could be recognized. As in ft cinematographic picture, each delineation ran so quickly into the other that a continuous sustained reproduction was the result." The inventor has named his instrument the aerophone. A complete set of instruments for a 5-mile radius would cost about $48. It is possible through this system to carry on long conver sations, and each speaker can distinguish the voice of the per son he is talking with. No ex pert knowledge, it is claimed, is required to operate the system as the box with the instrument would be self-contained including the battery, motor transformer, and everything else necessary for transmission. much he appreciated this love and care, but their noble deed will live in the minds cf the peo ple around here long after they have gone to their reward. Old Zick. WDOdlaod News, The colt show was a success in every way and every one Beemed pleased both with the large num ber of colts and with the fair and impartial decision of the judges. Rev. C. W. Scarborough has returned home after a few days vacation and his many friends are glad to Bee him improved by his rest. Rev. D. L. Earnhardt preached here in the afternoon last Sun day. Cotton continues to come in and the gin at this place is busy all day. The "clipping party" on last Friday night was an innovation here and much enjoyed bv all who attended. The ladies of the Betterment deserve praise for their efforts in behalf of this en tertainment. The baseball game between Rich Square High School a id a team composed of local bovs, played at George last Saturday, resulted in a tie; the score 5 5.

ANOTHER COTTON Pi ST. I Serious Cotton Disease aotbric mje and How to Handle It There is a disease of cotton hich is yearly attracting in creased attention throughout the cotton belt. It is known as cot ton antracnose. It is most easily recognized when on boll, where it forms ul cer-like spots, which, as they age, become pink in the centers. The spot may enlarge so as to affect the whole boll. The diseased part of the boll unusualy fails to ooen and often the contents rot. Enquiries from various sections of the State are being received almost daily at the Experiment Station concerning the disease. It has also been especially severe in Alabama and Georgia during recent years, so severe in the lat ter State that the Legislature has made a large special appropria tion for its investigation. Although the disease is seen and recognized most prominently on the bolls, it also occurs on the leaves and stem?. Cotton grow ers should know that this disease is carried from season to season on the seed, and that seed from a siqk boll, even though very slightly diseased, may raise a dis eased plant, and this in turn may spread the disease to the whole crop of the next season. There is no satisfactory treatment and the one point to be remembered is that seed from diseased fields is likely to carry the disease, in fact, almost sure to do so Even seed from clean fields which has passed through a gin in hich diseased cotton has been ginned is dangerous. It is of utmost im portance for the grower to be sure that his cotton seed does not come from a field or from a regi on where this disease prevails,. F. L. Stevens, Plant Pathologist. Raleigh, N. C. The "Reference" Was Good. The Millinery Trade Review. Here is a good story of a busi ness deal that shows how men must alwavs have their wits with them when doing business. A young man while on his vacation went to a liveryman to engage a horse and wagon to take his best girl out riding. The liveryman said to him: "I don't know you, sir; I can't let you have a turnout without reference." "Well, what is your rig worth?" asked the young man. "Two-fifty," re plied the liveryman. "Well if I give you that amount of money and take the rig for the after noon, you will give me back the money when I return, won't you ?" Certainly," said the liveryman. The young man had a most en joyable time with his sweetheart by his side. On his return to the liveryman's stable with the horse in excellent condition he received his roll of bills. As the young man walked away, the owner of the turnout exclaimed. "Hello, there! you didn't pay me for the hire of the rig." "Hire it!"shout ed back the young man; I didn't hire it I bought it. and sold it back to you at the same price. You got a bargain. FINED AGAIN. The moat re fined motor car built in this country.
