JViglB - ' V r EDUCATIONAL AND RELIGIOUS Edited by Rev. W. R. Coppedge, A. Mf County Superinten dent of Schools Miss Brownie Hurley closed her school at Exway with appro priate exercisesSaturday, May 9th. Miss Hurley has done ex cellent work and it is earnestly hoped she will accept work in this county again. The exercises of the Roberdel High School were interrupted by the recent illness of Prof. Pusey. The intermediate and primary departments, however, under Misses Hutchinson and Clark, went on as usual, except that the prevalence of roseola interfered to some extent with . the atten dance. The immense waste that is constantly going on in the need less destruction 'of young trees is robbing the next generation of a large part of their wealth. One part of our county with a little care could have its forests of long leaf pine restored, and another section in. much less time could have its abandoned fields covered with a dense growth of old field pine that would be almost, if not quite as valuable, as the .country is being rapidly stript of its forests. Bounteous nature is repairing the havoc of destructive lumber ers by spreading broadcast the seeds of young trees. Already the development cf- second growth white pine in New Eng land has become a great and im portant industry, while the old field pine of the South is now re garded as one of the great com mercial assets of this rich sec tion. A very intelligent agricul turist, and one of the most suc cessful in Virginia, has told The Times-Dispatch that in parts of Chesterfield county the growth of the old field pine was not less in value than $1 per acre per year. Where land can be bought for $5 or $6 an acre, the profit in such investment is enormous All that is necessary is to pro tect the vouner Dine trees from Afire and depredation, and the re suiting wealth is certain and se cure The great advantage of old field pine is the fact that it bears seeds prolifically. These seeds are spread broadcast by tne March winds and nna an ideal place for starting life in the r deserted open fields.1 The long leaf pine has a much heavier seed and seeds less frequently. It is therefore less prolific and Its reproduction is less abundant. Though the long leaf pine is in trinsically more valuable, it does not offer anything like the same profit as the loblolly pine when planted or allowed to start spon taneously in fields that are prac tically of no value for any other purpose. The loblolly pine does not make good fence rails or cross ties in its natural state, yet when is impregnated with creo- sote it is found to be exceeding ly durable.' The cost of this im-' .pregnation is no j great, and its discovery has added enormously to the value of a wood that was originally dispised. The wise farmer will use h's uncultivated fields for pine growing arid .will find it exceedingly profitable. RELIGIOUS There is a great deal of work done for which the worker ex pects no renumeration., Parents work for their children, and oiten, though less frequently, children work for their parents, without desire of compensation. " This ib not looked upon as charity be cause the claims of kinship are almost universally recognized. But there are many instances of unrequited labor beyond the circle of kindred and friends. There are some so full of love for their fellow men that they are ready to toil for their good re gardless of family ties, common nationality, or sameness of race They recognize the truth that every human being, wherever he may live, or whatever may be his social position may have a claim upon them. Like the good Samaritan' they are ready to treat even an avowed enemy as a neighbor when the enemy is in distress and the opportunity is afforded to render hiin helD. There are people, though the number is not so large as it ought to be, who are devoting their lives largely to improving the condition of others; and of ten at the cost of their pecuniary interest, their comfort and their heaUh. They go through heat and cold and rain and darkness to minister to the sick, to com fort the afflicted, and to feed and clothe the poor, sometimes, too, providing from their own purses the food and whatever else may be necessary for supplying their material wants. Some of these t philanthropists are not under the necessity of working for them selves, -but they are not idlers. They want to use the talents with which God has entrusted them, and they love their fellow men. some oi tnese people live in Richmond county, and some dispense their benevolence so quietly that their deeds of kind ness are not generally known. They don't want their names mentioned in the public prints in connection with their work in behalf of humanity. They are not seeking praise from men, and they are even forgetful of the reward that they are to re ceive in the better world. Their work is thoroughly unselfish. It is. not necessary that one be rich to devote himself to this kind of work, though only the rich can erive the whole of their time to it. Everybody should devote some time to the interests of his neighbors. There are al ways some who are in need of your kind offices. Don't fail to do your part of the benevolent work, if you expect a share in the glories of the blest- Benevolent work, even where it costs effort and involves sacri fice of comfort brings rich re wards to those who devote them selves to it. The happiness it gives to the benefactor is per il sms erreater in most cases than the pleasure it affords the bene- ficianes. As an illustration taKe siciang for fifty years. There the lives of two sisters who are moval of the poison weakens the members of one of the most prominent families in America. Their father-had been eminently successful in business and had left to each an immense estate. One of them devoted herself to society- She had an ambition to be considered a leader. Her chief desire was to have a title and to move in the circle of crowned "heads; To this end she went to foreign lands and sought .Via om ran ion shin of the so call- ed higher society. Rich an at Uil - tractive as she was, it was not long before she had offered to her the hand of a titled gentle- France. Of course she exnected a lif e of great happi ness and grandeur in Parisian society. But happiness , came not to the palace in which she dwftlfc. The titled gentleman tl Welti. t wasted her money, neglected her, and so outraged her. feelings by attention to another, woman that she was obliged to seek a separa tion; and she secured a divorce Her life has been one of bitter disappointment. The sympathy of the world but little ameliorates her misery, and the future offers but little prospect of happiness in this world. ; Her sister chose a simple life. She devoted her talents and her fortune to the good of humanity. He has never paraded herself before the public; has never been ostentatious; has cared nothing for the display and frivolities of society; but has found happiness in doing good. She is known throughout the world and is lov ed by millions who never saw her. She is one of America's uncrowned queens, and it is un necessary to mention here her name. Mr. Wm. H. Anderson, M. D., of Soda Springs, Ida., says that Bees Laxative Cough Syrup has relieved coughs and colds where all other remedies failed. Its gentle laxative effects especially recommend it for children. It is pleasant to take. For coughs, colds, hoarseness, whpoping cough. Money refunded if not satisfied. Sold by L. G. Fex. POISON A VALUABLE DRUG A Snake Brought From Jungles of Brazil A Brazilian lancehead viper, the deadliest snake known, was exhibited in New York the other day to a crowd of admiring sci entists. It is the first snake of the species that New York ever had the honor to entertain. At the Bronx Zoo the snake's dead- ly poiscn was extracted from its . fangs, for it was for this pur pose that the reptile was import ed from its native jungle on the upper reaches of the Amazon river. The poison of the lancehead is a valuable drug, used in cases of mental diseases .-md insanity. So minute are the particules em ployed as medicine that no new supply has been received in New York for eighteen years. There is still plenty of the supply left but physieions believe it has de teriorated anil, have demanded a new supply.', The head of a drug house instructed his, agent ih Brazil to secure a healthy specif men of the shake. i It was with great difficulty th snake was finally landed in New York. It was the third captured, the first dying and the second being killed because sailors rer fused to ship on the same vessel carrying it. The one now in this city was brought from Brazil in a captain's cabin, the sailors be- iner unaware of its presence. There will be enough poison from the rentile to fill the re quirements of the American phy snake , and it is not believed that it wiH ionsr survive the operation. Tired nerves, witn tnat no Ambition' ' feeling that is com monly felt in spring or early sum mer, can be easily and quickly altered by taking what is known to druggists everywhere as Dr. Shooo's Restorative. One will absolutely note a changed feeling within 48 hours after beginning to take the Restorative. The bow- fels get sluggish m the winter time, the circulation often slows up, tne Kidneys are inactive, ana even the heart in many cases grows decidedly weaker. Dr. Snoop's Restorative is recognized everywhere as a genuine tonic to these vital organs. It builds up and strengthens the worn-out weakened nerves; it sharpens the failing appetite, and universally aids digestion. It always quick, ly brings renewed strength, life- vigor and ambition. Try it and i ' fc -'- j be convinced. Sold by L.G.Fox: THE COUNTY CORRESPONDENTS Social, Personal and News Notes from Richmond County Postoffices ROBERDEL NO. 1 How, things are moving at this place.

It is a place we love. Well do we re member, while a student at El- ! lerbe Springs High school, the pleasures we had, and the in- struction imparted to us -by our kind hearted teacher who has been lying beneath the sod for many years, as well as many of our school mates. Well, I believe the clapper is lost again as I hear no bells ring ing. Sometimes we forget and almost wish we were a widow so that we could attract some at tention. A. beautiful widow.is to some people the most attract tive of all things under the cano py of heaven. Well, with kindest regards for Roberdel and its good people, hoping some one will write to the good old Anglo-Saxon, that we may learn something of the movings of our old home city. . With the kindest regards for the Saxon and its readers, I ani as ever. A. T. McLeod. FROM ANOTHER. Where has the talking machine gone? That machine will be badly missed, as it run without being wound up. We wish' it well wherever it may stop. Give us Home for governor, and A. S. Ormsby for .sheriff. He should be the man. The voters of Richmond county should say "We will put one poor, working man in office in. Rockingham. He lives at this place and is a hand in this mill. Hurrah for Ormsby. We are told that a certain man m this county has planted some corn, the ears of which grow on the stalk under the ground. He has also some vineless Irish po tatoes Has no vines at all--no sign of anything. He just goes out and grabbles in the ground and the fruit is found as if the vine was there.- Will not eive name this time, but will if wanted. Mr. W. J. Terry and family have moved to Hamlet to make that place their home We hope that we may see our friend AT. on the street often, as we, know will be the case. he always i . speaks well of the Roberdel girls.

Goodman and family spent Sunday in the country, where they could find something to fill the inner man. Everybody knows tha order of the day, in this part of the coun try politics and; the liq uor ques tion. Yes, on the 26th of May every poor man should know where he stands, to protect him self from the things that mayj befall him If whiskey is all, let her go. But is that all? What will be next? We wait to see j what the next platform will be. So rally boys to the polls and cast your vote as you think best for your country. Why not give Will Steele the office he is asking for? He is the man for that office for four years to come. We all know he I gets his bread by hard work. Every day brings something new to the minds of our people. Why should we be so green and have to be advised and instruct ed by other men. Mr. Aulay Crouch made a fly ing trip somewhere last week. If you want to know you will have to ask him. MT.
