Aulander and Greenville divid ed a double header in that town last week, Aulander winning the first game 4 to 3 and Greenville the second 3 to 2. Those who went from here say that the games, were about the best the Aulander boys have played this season, and when it is remem bered that the Greenville team is composed mostly of semi-prof es atonal players, the showing is ex cellent 1. Mr.' Chester Dunning went to Suffolk and Norfolk last week in the interest of the ball team. Aulander will be well repre sented at Windsor on Old Sol dier's day. ; It is the desire v of the committee for every family to take a lunch, enough for the family and two or three in addi tion. This is the plan adopted to feed the crowdB from each sec tion and Aulander will not be be hind every other town.v 'Gover nor Craig will speak in the morn ing and Judge Robt W. Winston in the afternoon. Two bands will make music. No doubt the oc caaion tnis year will eclipse any entertainment ever arranged be fore, as extensive "preparations are being made. The Governor does not come our way often and everybody should hear and -see him. while Judge Robt W. Win ston is one of the most promir nent and forceful oratora, in the f state, and will no doubteliver a fine address. Let everybody from Aulander and vicinity take lunch and spend the day in Wind sor. There's a good time for all. Mrs. D. E. Henderson of New Bern is spending some time with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Henry Jenkins. Tnere seems to be no doubt now but that we will have elec tric lights this fall The town authorities and the oil mill offi cers are working on plans to light up the town including tne streets in all the business sections, and all citizens wi'l have the- oppor tunity of having their- hoines wired and lights put ift Aside from the convenience, the lights will probably cost no more than kerosine. A list is being made of those who will rise elecitric lights and includes' most of the residences of the town. Not much has been said about the' personnel of the ball team this season, most of our' notices being merely statements jot ,a general nature. No town in east ern Carolina can boast of as good local talent as we have. ' For pitchers, Cliff CasteloeV"Byrd Minton and Edwin Early are hard to beat Chester Dunning does all the catching. On first base, Powell is second to none in this section, while Claud New some at second base and Graham Newsome at third are fine plsy- era. Minton at short is one Of the best amateur players in the state. ' The fielders, Teele Har rell, Obed Castelloe and Carson Dunning are whirlwinds, , and John Burden jt fine.vutility man riayji goqdjn of WtfieI(L?;JSey rarmore young noysLare jiayiog pjoi ball andT wldrmake be Urst tcri later. liThe .grandstand Is just backdfthe'nest diamond we have ever had here and base ball this season has proven more Interesting , than.' .ever,", before. Good crowds attend very game and enjoy the sport . f The 'Aulander is", one of the bands engaged for Old Soldiers day Mt Windsor and ; are prepaf- ing a good program for the occa sion. The writer heard the Ocean View band again last week and there is not much difference in the quality of the music as played by each band. Most the num bers on the program were pieces that are plaved by the Aulander Orchestra. Miss Helen Harrell is spending several days at Virginia Beach a guest of Miss Garrett of Ahoskie Mrs. Leslie Herring spent sev eral days with her parents at Ahoskie last week.1 Misses Mary, Ruth and Sallie Cooke and their guest, Miss Emi ly Canady, of Benson, N. C.Mr, J. K. Cooke, Mr. and Mrs. Thur man Williford spent last Sunday at Virginia Beach. Miss Emily Canaday of Ben son, N. C, is visiting the Misses Cooke, Rev. Mr. Rickman of Pocahon tas, Va., preached in the Baptist church here last Sunday eveninr. Mr. Rickman also preached at Conaritsa near here on that morn ing. Aulander defeated Ahoskie here last Friday the score being 10 to 1. Edwin Early pitched a good game for the locals, While Copeland for the visitors was hit freely. Minton and Castelloe each drove out a home run. ' The farmers near Aulander are said to have to have the best crops of this section. At many other places on account of the seasons they are said to have been at a disadvantage. One gentle man who has been over much of 0ie country stated that the pret tiest crops he saw were near this place. ' v ' ' ' Mr. Edgar W. Khightrecently of New York, spent a few days here with his parents, Mr, and Mrs. John W. Knight last week. Mr. Knight has many excellent offers for his services at various places and is a student and teach er of exceptional ability. He re cently received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Co lumbia University, one of the highest institutions of learning in the United States. Dr. Knight has accepted a professorship in Trinity College. Testing One's Power ol Application. Have your friends the ability to hold their attention, or does it become quickly fatigued? A sim ple experiment will show you. Give each person a column from a newspaper, and have each one cross out with a pencil every let ter A and every letter R. Keep an eye on your watch, and when half a minute has passed,' say "Now," as a signal for each ex perimenter to make a mark at the word that he has just reach ed. Keep this top for five min utes, and then count how many A's and how many R's each one marked in the first half minute, how many in the fifth, and how many in the tenth, and see how many each person overlooked in each-half minute. Some persons will do well at the beginning, but will soon be come inattentive; in the last four half minutes they will mark few letters, and overlook many. Oth ers will do better in the second and third half minute than in the first, and their' attention will ha aharpervat the end that at the berinning.-;JrofeB8or Munster- forftin The Youth's Companion. -hi ii i ii ii r m'am ( ; Her Dearest Friend -Do you really obey Charley?

Ercdlte Article Containing Wealth of iDlonnatlon on This Absorbing Topic. Charleston Evening Post In the Bible (Genesis ix. 20-21) it is stated. And Noah began to be a huBbandman, and he plant ed a vineyard ; and he drank of the1 wine, and was drunken." This is generally held to be an account of the discovery of wine making, sayB the Rehoboth Sun day Herald, but if so we are foced to go to the Babylonians for the trigic of this popular drtoki Noah was a-Hebrew, but is found under another name, Pir-Napishtim, in the famous Babylonian Nimrod Epic, the great poem describing the origin of the world and the Deluge, as known to the Babylonians. It js; now generally known that the Deluge story, including Noahj of course, was borrowed from the Babylonians by the Hebrews, either when Abraham emigrated ttmpJrei the ChaldeeB" tBa bylorfia) or in later times, when the Hebrews were captive in Babylonia, after the destruction of Solomon's temple. This being the case, the inven tion df wine is carried back to at least'i,000 vears B. C, even if it; was not known by other races before that time. Grapes grew wild "before they were cultivated, and savage tribeB knowing noth ing of ' agriculture, made wine friun wild grapes, so aa soon as there i were grapes; nd men prob- a$rifr'wr;r! is -only the juice of the grapes fermented Upon a clay tablet, inscribed with the ancient cuneiform, or wedge-shaped characters, we have a list of different kinds of wine used by the Babylonians, and it speaks of shepherd's wine, Syrian wine, sweet wine, and carrob wine. The Assyrians did not pour their wine into the cups from jars or bottles, but dipped the cups into the larger vessel. as may be seen from some of the pictures. The ancient Egyptians were experts in winemaking, for on the tomb wall are pictures of the entire process of wine-making,. from the treading out of the grapes to the bottling. : Even the old Hittites,. greatest puzzle , of the scholars, whose writings have not yet been satis factorily read, were one of the most ancient races of Western Asia, for Abraham bought the cave of Machpelah from the Hit tites, and that was more than 4,000 years ago. Among them even the women drank wine, as may be seen from a picture in which two women appear toast ing each other in what can hard ly be tea, for it is not probable that China or Japan were then in communication with the land of theHittites, even though these warriors, wear pigtails and for this reason are supposed to have originated from Mongolian stock. In fact, we have a picture of a wine divinity of the Hittites in a figure far more interesting than beautiful, but instructive for all that, that is the predecessor of the Greek and Roman Bacchus by-many, centuries, . y '.-.

The Baraca and Philathea class es of Sandy Run' Baptist Sunday School gave a delightful camp supper Tuesday evening, July 15, on the lawn at the home of Mr. John E. Tyler, about a mile from town. The classes with their invited guests, chaperoned by Mesdames C. C. Tyler, P. B. Cole and W. H. Gilbert, were conveyed to the scene of action on wagons pro vided by the Baracas. Those from a distance in attendance were Mrs. W. V. Brett, Winston Salem; Miss Hedspeth. Rehoboth; Mus Powell Drum Hill; Mies Holloman, Pbwellsville; and Mr. Jimmie Jenkins, U. S. N., New York City. All necessary arrangements had been previously, made, so the time of arrival was the begin ning of merry-making. The place was ideal for a camo sup- per-a large lawn with giant oaks stretching out their protecting arms, a bright camp-fire sending its mighty flames upward; a full moon trying to peep through the thin clouds, gave us not night, but the appearance of a day half asleep, and linked yesterday with today. The bright faces and cheerfulvoices of the pleasure seekers lent to the enchantment Everyone seemed to vie with another in making the occasion the most joyful of the season.' Old times games, Folk songs and bits of wit were enjoyed around the light of the blazing fire.' Each Philathea carried a basket filled with good things to eat, and in werefried in true camp style. All things read v for eating, the signal was given, and as this band of Christian workers gathered around one of the most tempting -kappmujv, spread before a crowd, surety ft'diml "We sat. upon the Ip: piciturj in the presence of Nature's and. enjoyed a, feast that gave strength to the body and inspir ation to the soul." We enjoyed games and conversation so pure that we were reminded even in the midst of these festivities that the voice in the wilderness was silent, and the light of the life of a Savior had taken its place.
