Seaboard State High School is indeed fortunate in securing the services of Prof. Barbee and Miss Ella Neat Kornegay to take the places of Prof. Ware and wife in our school work for next session. Both come highly re commended. Prof. Barbee taught in Jackson last session and won for himself an enviable reputa tion. Miss Kornegay comes from Bowden. N.C.and is a specialist in her line. Misses Fagge,Lacy and Laura Allen of the 1912-13 faculty will return to their same positions. All arrangements be ing perfected, nothing remains now but for all to work together for an harmonious session. It is with feelings of the deep est sadness that we tell you readers this week, that Mrs. Alice Pope, wife of our towns man, Jno. D, Pope, died at her home here last Wednesday after noon. Mrs. Pope was stricken with paralysis January, 1912, had been very feeble since, suffered much, had several attacks which threatened to end her existence, but would rally and , many of us hoped that she would be spared yet many years. The last stroke was' very severe, she never' re gainer consciousness or ' ever spoke again. Everything that could be done for her recovery was done, but the "grim mesaen ger of death" hovered around her couch, fanned away her breath, and she passed away to the land of eternal rest and hap piness on the afternoon of June 11. 1913. She died in the faith, consistent member of Seaboard Baptist church. Her going was like a peaceful sleep, she died without fear or pain. The funeral was conducted by Rev. M.T. Self of the M. E. church as circum stances prevented her pastor, Rev. Lloyd Parker, from offici ating. Her remains were interred in Seaboard cemetery to await the resurrection morn. May God deal gently and kindly with the lonely companion, who feels now that he has nothing to live for, and comfort the bereaved broth ers, sisters and neices and when time is ho more may they form an unbroken family circle around God's throne in Heaven. Airs, ureen t . uay accompa nied her step-daughter, Miss Laura, to Norfolk Monday where she wilt have her eyes treated and glasses adjusted.

Tbe Farmer's Qaick Kesly: A farmer carrying; an express package from Chicago mail-order house was accosted .: by, a local merchant "Why didn't von buy that bill of goods of me? I eodU have saved you the express and besides you would have been pa tronizihflr a home' store, which helps pay the taxes and build up this locality.

Charity and Children. That is not a good name for the work that is forcing the at tention and interest of our reli gious leaden; but whatever you may call it, the time is come when our churches must get down to practical helpfulness and sympathy and service among those who need it most. The grayest charge that has been brought against the church is that it has degenerated into a social club. The gravity of the charge is the more serious be cause in bo many cases it is true. When a leading church in a com munity comes to think of itself as the eocial centre the standard so to speak from which the cus toms and manners and dress and deportment of the smart set are measured when a church gets in that shape it degrades the holy name it bears and drags the religion it professes to represent into the mire. We haye heard of pastors who speak of their particular church as the church of the town, and with a meaning smile insinuate, if they do not say, that those who wish to reach the social prominence must do so by ioinipg their church, And the members of such a church draw their gar' ments about them and scorn the poor. They are nice people too .nice to minister to the needy and the weak. Social Service, in its broad meaning, is simply protest against the freezing of the currents our religious life- barking back to first principles. Tee common people heard Him gladly, ' and they are the ones who hear His representatives gladly now. It makes little dif ference how many automobiles roll up to the door of the church, hut it does mean much when harlots and profligates and all manner of poor broken' sinners hear a voice divine and enter its gates to praise and pray with the people of God. The church is not a master it is servant; and a servant serves. We all know how far the Catholics have left us behind in eocial service, and we must mend oar ways and re cover our lost ground. Cattle go where there is salt. Men will go to church when they tan satisfy the craving of their starved souls. But they are not going but one time to one of these reli gious refrigerator?. We must get down off our stilts and go to work if we would win and hold the masses of mankind- , Do we Talk too locn? in the united States we are prone to talk too much. We do not sufficiently appreciate the value and beauty of silence. During the after business hours and at the lunch and dinner table, we talk on and on without ceasing, as though there was nothing worth thinking about We invented the first talking machine, and no American is considered' property equipped un less he can talk at all times and upon all subjects. , information must be imparted and ideas exchanged; it is essen tial to mental comoanionshin and develops our faculties of expres sion.: But there ia no necessity for the endless and eternal talk in which sojpianv of us Indulge. . .iTbere. is;- great '. force; and viu&lar8lj&& to think; (.

Geological Sorvey Will Sell Topogra- pnlc Hap of Famous Battlelled . and Vlclnllj al Ball Price. To meet the demand for an ac curate map of Gettysburg and vicinity during the great memo rial celebration which will be held at that historic point begin ning June 29-50 years after the commencement of terrific fight which sealed the fate of the hitherto sanguine Confederacy the United States Geological Sur vey has combined four of its top ographic sheets and printed a large map. The map covers about 925 square miles, including the Gettysburg battlefield and the adjacent portion of Pennsylvania as well as the adjoining portion of Maryland, and is on the ample scale of 1 mile to the inch. It shows accurately the size and shapes of the mountains and ridges, and by means of contour or elevation lines the exact alti tudes of every hill, slope, valley and pass. All the roads by which Lee brought his main army in from the West are shown, and the course pursued by the Army of the Potomac under Hooker and later under Meade can be readily traced. Such familiar bloody fighting grounds as Little Round Top, the Wh'eatfield. and the Peach Orchard are shown in their exact topography .almost as. clearly as in a bird's eye photo graph, as is also the ground; over which Pickett's division of 18, 000 men.the flower of the South, made its famous but futile charge a charge, however, which ac complished its probable purpose of deterring Meide from follow ing up his victory with a pursuit of Lee's shattered columns. ' HAP WILL BE SOLD AT HALF PRICE Such a map would have been worth a thousand times its weight in diamonds to either of the commanding generals at the battle of Gettysburg, where the fate of their great armies and probably of the Union and the Confederacy hung on the issue of a day. The surveys on which the map is based were made in cooperation with the Pennsyl vania State Topographic and Geo logic Survey Commission and the Geological Survey of Maryland. This map can be obtained from the United States Geological.Sur vey. The regular price is 40 cents a copy, but by special au thority granted by the Secretary of the Interior it will be delivered postage free in a mailing tube until July 4. 1913, at 20 cents a copy.
