Mrs. James R. Bradley return
ed last Thursday from a few
davs' visit to her sisters, Mts
dames James Taylor and ' John
nie Johnson, Gumberry,
V A great many of our farmers
have finished planting corn and
not a few have much of their
cotton crop planted. Lack of
rain has rendered the ground so
bard that plowing is hard on both
man and beast.
Rev; Lloyd Parker, who was
prevented from filling his March
appointment at ' the Baptist
church here, by the critical ill-
rnesa of bis father, met with his
flock the past Saturday and Sun
day and delivered a sermon of
great power on ' "Forgi veness"
Sunday morning. Bro. Parker's
three years' pastorate here be
speaks for him a career of great
usefulness in the Master's work.
He preaches the Gospel in a sim
ple manner and the people flock
to hear him.
Mr. John R. Stephenson, Wil
mington, and his brother, Grover,
Franklin, Va., were welcome
guests of their sister, Mrs R. M
Maddrey, the past Saturday night
They left on No. 41 Sunday morn
ing for a visit to another Bister,
Mrs. R. F. Barnes, Gumberry. ,
Mr. and Mi's. Green F. Gav
were summoned, very suddenly,
Saturday to the bedside- of her
brother, Rev. Paul Bowers. We
have since learned that B.o.
Bowers is suffering with appen
dicitis and will be taken to a hos
pital for an operation at an early
date. His friends here will fol
low him with their prayers.
We hear of many' chiQs in the
country and not a few here in
town. The latest victims here
are Messrs. Bailev Maddrey, , El
liott .Harris and little sister. Alice
Harris. The former has been too !
sick to attend school this week.
Severn commencement was
well . attended by Seaboardiana
last week- Ths program was well
arranged and highly enjoyed.
Praises are on the lips of all who
were fortunate enough to be in
attendance. Our S9vern folks
never do anything by halves.
A marriage of more than usual
interest to our people will be sol
emnized at Gumberry on Wed
nesday' A. M, the 23rd.. when
Eva, the popular and accomplish
ed daughter of Mrs. Johnnie
Johnson, will wed Mr. Herbert
Browne of Henderson. The happy
young ouple will leave on No.
41 for an extended bridal tour,
including Niagara Falls, New
York. On their return they will
make their home in Henderson,
where the fortunate groom holds
a position with the S. A. L. rail- :
road. Mr. Brown is to be con-j
gratulated on winning the affec-J
tions of this splendid youtg worn-
an. May good luck and happi-1
ness follow them all through life, 'I
Rev. Lloyd Parker conducted
chapel services , in the High
School auditorium Monday morn
ing. His timely advice and words
of encouragement sweetened the'
day's work for both faculty and
students.
Mr. and Mrs. E. A Hoggins, ,
Mrs. J. F. Shoulars and Mrs. H.
T.. Wade of Rich Sqaare spent a
while in our town Friday, es
teemed guests of Prof, and Mrs.
vVare. These good people stijll j
appreciate the character of the
work done by these tireless teach
ers while Prof. Ware was princi
pal of Rich Square High School, j
Tnenare faculty of Seaboard-
State High School have been en
tertained recently in the follow
ing homes: Menwa. J.G. L. Crock
er's and M. F. Long's. The even
ings were mutually enjoyed and
bed time came much too Roon. :
As an evidence of the esteem
in which Seaboard State High
School faculty are held by their
numerous patrons her the school
board has tendered each their
same position at an increased
salary for next session. Three
of th five have decided to re
turn while the remaining two
are as yet undecided. No High
School in the county has had a
stronger working team. Our peo
ple appreciate the good work ac
complished and have no desire to
let one of them leave. We hope
to be ab'e to report at commence
ment that the entire faculty will
return and be ready for the beet
session ever next September,
Perhaps it will not be premature
to add that our school has grown
so in the pa8t few months that
the need of the sixth teacher isJ
imperative and will be added next
session.
The closing exercises of Sea
board State High' School will be
gin on May 8th.. at 11 o'clock
A. M. The first thing on the
program will be a chorus by the.
school. Then the graduating ex!
ercises will follow. The class C(nf
sists of three bright young men,
Messrs. Dean Crocker, Kindred
and Robert Long and one studi
ous -young woman, Miss Edna;
Long. The essays of these grad
uates rill be worth going a loasr
way to hear. The address of Hi.
N. W. Walker, State Inspectdr
of High Schools, wiJULbe the next
number on the program. .Or.-
Walker is a very pleasing as well
as instructive speaker and all
who come may expect a rare
treat. The morning exercises be
ing over, everybody will be cor
dially invited to partake of a
bounteous public dinner which
will ba provided by all friends
and patrons who are here -re
minded to bring a well tided bas
ket. A game of ball will be the
feature of the afternoon. The
Intermediate and Primary grades
will entertain Thursday evening,
exercises to begin promptly at 8
o'clock. On Friday evening the
High School pupils will be at
their best. Surely you can not
afford to miss the good things
that are being daily rehearsed
for your enjoyment as well as
your edification. We expect the
largest crowd ever in the history
of the school, A hearty welcome
to our school and homes will be
accorded everybody.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Worrell of
the Pruden Spring vicinity were
called upon to mourn the death
of their young son,1 Ryland, the
past Thursday. He was twelve
yeare old. Kyland had been sick
since last Thanksgiving, but did
not give up entirely until fiye
weeks ago. He suffered greatly
but was patient and good, be
lieving it a sin to complain at
God's will. . He was a fine boy,
filled his mission qiiicklv and
passed to his reward. He was
baptized into tta fellowship of
Mt. Carmel Baotist church last
year, but attended Sunday School
at Pruden Springs., His teacher
offered a prize to the scholar that
should memorize most Scripture
during the year, this bright lad
won the prize.' ' He never missed
Sunday School when able to at
tend. All remedies failed and
his parents are left to weep over
the separation. The burial ser
vice was read by Mr. J.T. Long,
after which his body was laid to.
rest in the burying ground at the
home of Mr. Peter Spencer. May
the Lord bind up the broken
hearts and comfort the bereaved
as He only can. --

From the amount of building
activities going on at Kelfordit
wou'd seem that the town is
making pretty substantial prog
ress. The town convention was held
on Tuesday evening April 15th,
and the nominations were C.L.L.
Cobb, for Mayor; W. P. HarreU.
K. 0. Hall, and Paul Leicester
for Commissioners,' and H. C.
Stephenson for Constable
We learn with much pleasure
that the Atlantic Coast Line will
in the near future make such im
provements along its tracks as
to give the town sufficient and
proper drainage. The Coast Line
has been particularly nice to Kel
ford and has done much for the
benefit and convenience of the
place, also the Seaboard Air
Line has been very considerate
of the welfare of Kelford and
has provided suitable depot fa
cilities and we understand that
its business has greatly increas
ea. we nave neara tnat tne Dus-
iness of the Seaboard Air Line is
more per month than both roads
did twenty years ago, and that
increa8ed nearly ten-fold.
This speaks well for the advan
tages of Kelford and we believe
that the next ten years will show
equal if not better results.
Prof, R. J. Lough, Principal of
Kelford's Graded School, has
tendered his' resignation to the
School Board and will go to Hick
ory, Va. Prof. Lough has done
9 great and lasting work here
during the past three years and
the community is very loath to
give him up. Kelford school.is
considered one of the best" and
most progressive schools in the
County. From a small one room
school building with one teacher
and about twenty five per cent
of the children of the district in
school it has grown to a school
with four departments and every
child in the district in school.The
honor for this great work rests
first upon the shoulders of the
school board in their untiring ef
forts in providing a suitable
building with modern conven
iences. Then comes the teach
ers in the following order, name
ly: Mrs. J. H. Wilkins, Roxobel,
N. C, Miss Virgie White. Cole
rain, N. C. Miss Lillian Pope,
Woodland, N. C. Mrs. Manly
Mann, Wilmington, M. (J., nee
Miss Cora Eagles of Tarboro,
Miss Villa Montague, Coleraine,
N. C. Miss Mary Burrus, Wan-
chese, N.C , Miss Margie Spivey,
Lewiston, N. C, with Prof. R.
J. Lough heading the column.
The work done by this . band of
efficient teachers guided by the
wise counsel of Prof. Lough,
proves very 'conclusively that
a compulsory school law is not
needed in Kelford school district,
at least for the present.
Rev. John F. Cale filled his ap
pointments here at the Baptist
church Saturday and Sunday,
and preached a most powerful
sermon on Sunday.
The Baraca Bible Class gave
notice to its members that a bus
iness meeting would be held Sun
day. next. This was very grati
fying news to the Philathe
Class as a business meeting of
the Baracas means something
doing for the Philatheas. i v
v Kelford's marriage bella have
been idle for nearly three months
However, before another month
shall have passed the glad pen
dulum will awing to and fro and
th old bell will peal out the glad
tidings of another victory for
King Cupid, and two hearts that
beat in lonely solitude a few
ye tb ago will then beat as one
in happy unison along the river
of time. May their joys be many
and their sorrows few.

PROTECTION OF BINDS.
Womeo Would Stop Wearing Feathers
Torn From Birds II They Knew
Ibe Suffering It Caused.
The agitation for a law to pro
hibit the importation into the
United States of egrets or feath
ers obtained from birds by meth
ods of cruelty has itb origin in
the same humanitarian sentiment
that brought about the establish
ment of the societies for the pre
vention of cruelty to animals. It
is not such a long time since the
people of the world gave little
consideration to the needless suf
fering of animals. Enlightment
has brought about a different at
titude. Lord Curzon, "whose worst
enemies would not accuse him of
sentimentality," is urging a Jaw
to prohibit the importation into
England of humming birdB, birds
of paradise, and egrets. Last
year the sales were 41,000 bum
ming birds, 20,700 birds of para
dise, aid 129,000 egre's, describ
ed by Lord Curzon as "the most
beautiful and innocent things in
the world, all slaughtered in an
abominable traffic "
Prefcidnt Wilam has recently
issued an executive ordr impos
ing heavv penalties for the de
struction of birds of plumage in
the Canal Zone, and Congress
should follow his lead and pro
vide in the new tariff bill against
the egret traffic, which is based
upon brutality of a hideous char
acter. It has been charged that fash
ionable women do not care what
cruelty is practiced so long as
they may gratify their vanity,
but it is more consoling, as well
as more logical to believe, with
Mrs. Fisk e, who recently express
ed her views on this subject,
that
Women wear egrets and
birds of paradise and other
unnecessary hat ornament
simply because they do not
know the horrors that attend
tne procurement of such de
corations. Women do not
know that the egret is torn
from tne living mother bird;
they do not know that fre
quently this living mutilated
creature is tied to a shrub
and propped up as a decoy
for other egrets, and that
frequently for days at a time.,
in this helpless condition,
within sound of the call of
i their starving young, these '
birds are gradually eaten to
death by the red ants of the
southern countries.
The sympathy of a woman's
heart is traditional. It Is absurd
to say that women do not care
what cruelty is practiced in or
der to bedeck them. The truth
of the matter is that all women,
or nearly all, would stop wearing
feathers torn from birds if they
knew what suffering was caused
to the helpless creatures. Women
persist in the barbaric custom of
wearing plumage dyed in blood
pimply because they have not
given any real thought to the,
matter. Washington Post
