On last February ae waa married

!>a<**d by and tto young wife ami tor
hu*band'« paopl* war* not a* happy
living together aa I hay might tov*,
h*an, and the trouble waa auppoaad to
he due to a dtvUion of tha houa* work.
Anyway tto young wtfa waa not'
happy In tto home of tor moiher-w«i
law and want hock to tor fathar'a {
houa*. I
After going back hum* her young
huatiuiil paid no mar* attention to her,
«nd mailt no attempt to gat h«r •
Horn* or to furniah her with in-m*,-?
or th* necessities of Ufa, Km.'hs
passed by and it appeared that yoong
('handler wa« again living a fraa and
•aay Ufa and waa visiting around in
th« neighborhood a* a young and car*
fra* man. Aftar du* consideration U
wan decided to have papers iasued for,
him charging non-support of hi* fami
ly. Th* caa* cam* up u> :<* heard thia
week and there waa almcat no d*
fana*. The young huaband aaamed to
think that when hi* wife went back to
her father'* houaa he waa relieved of
all further reaponaibility for her car*. |
Aftar hearing th* caa* Judg* Tilley
decided that th* young man muat
either aupport hi* wife or **rv* a
term on the road*. Mr. Chandler waa
allowed to give lyond for a few day*,
every one expecting that when he *aw
a road aentenc* before him he would)
get buay and make up hia mind tO|
aupport hia family. But the few days
went by and h* choae the road aen
tenc* to the lif* of a married man.
And ho he was carried to Rockingham
to begin hia sentence Thuraday of thia
week.
One interesting fact about thia caa*
i* that the wife ia yet on his hand a,
and when h* get* through with the
present sentence if nc is not able to
give to th* Stat* of North Carolina Qj
good and valid reason for not support-,
ing hia wife, he will again b* *ubj*ct
to arr*«t and conviction for non-sup
port. The hearing of the case did not
develop any facta that would lead one
to think that there waa any cause for j
separation between the two young
people. Anil so after six months Mr.!
Chandler will be back in the same box
he found himaelf at the- time he wan
arrested last week.
The moral in thia cane ia that the
stood State of North Carolina expects,
a man to aupport a wife one* he h
made the solemn promiac to live with
her in the holy bonds of matrimony,
and the penalty ia auch aa to make
moat men get busy, if they are not
•>o inclined for oth r reasons than the
fear of the strong arm of the law.
Labor Day at Central
Methodist Church.
Next Sunday morning, September
2nd, I ab'ir Day will be observed at
Central Church. There will be spe- i
cial music for the occasion, and the
pastor will discuss the labor problem
fn>m the standpoint of God's word.
All honor to the faithful laborer.
A first class shoemaker is more value
to the race than an idle king or a
leafing millionaire.
You are most cordially invited to
come to Central Methodist Church
next Sunday morning. We are labor
ers; We are laborers together; and We
are laborers together with God.
Thomas-Booker.
Mr. James Booker and Miss Effie
Thomas both of this ctiy motored to
the residence of Rev. D. Vance Price
on Orchard Street Saturday evening
nccowpanied by a few friends, and
were quietly married. The marriage
came as a surprise to the families
of both young people. Mr. Booker
holds a position in the poet office at
this place and both bridt and groom
have a host of friends whose beat
wishes follow them. After a honey
moon spent in the western part ef the
state they will be at home la this citjr.

:«nquet Friday evening, or a luncheon
•*i Saturday has tnsen submitted to the
■ommanding officer of Company I,
which is to entrain at 3.30 Saturday
ifternoon for Camp Sevier, Green
ville, 8. C., and he suggests that hia
-ompany would moat appreciate one
hundred and sixteen boxes of lunch
to be eaten on the trip to Greenville.
The hoys will doubtless not reach
[ireenville until late Sunday morning,
and the fuminhing of a box of GOOD
OI.D SURRY COUNTY GRUB will

A committee will make a canvass of
the town in the morning, but the time
is short, and whether you are seen or
not, you are asked to bring whatever
you wish to furnish(already prepared)
to the Red Cross Headquarters not
later than 11 o'clock Saturday morn

After everything has been sent in
the boxes will then be filled.

For Better Water Supply.
Miix Margaret Mc Lucas, county can
ning club ager.t, has recently crone
over the county giving illustrated lec
tures on the water supply of the
country home. She induced Dr. Mar
tin, of this city, to assitt her and lec
ture in connection with the pictures.
Evidently this work will be the means
of many citizens seeing the import
ance of care in the management of
weir- and springs. The picture*
shown are from the department of
Agriculture and show how many wells
and springs are improperly kept and
how others are cared for in a sensible
way.
At many points in the county large
numbers of citizens attended the lec
tures and showed much interest in
the work.
Pipe Organ .Recital.
Prof. H. G. Easley, the blind musi
cian, will give a pipe organ recital
at Central Methodist church next
Monday evening at 8 o'clock, assisted
by local talent. A silver offering will
he taken at the dour for the benefit
of the Junivile Missionary Society.
