These figures indicato the econo mic pressure or the lure of life in a great industrial State. In Masii-otsusetts, where edu tional ad, antages are ,.t,li,.,i;eil. there were ''A. children from 10 to Li years old busy earning a living in the census year in miils, factories, trade, transpor tation, domestic service and cleri cal occupations. The same year the children of these ages in North Carolina engaged in simi lar occupations numbered L'li. -S14. In 1015 the children under lii years of age in our cotton mills numbered T.Ll'li, or tV!i fewer than the year before, says Mr. M. L. tjhipinan our Labor Commissioner. The biggest end of the child labor probably in North Caro lina is in our country regions, where 74.(100 children between 10 and 13 years of age are farm workers, mainly on the heme farms. But the country children of these ages hired out for work on other iurins in lf'10 numbei ed 11.-03; or more than t-vice the number in our mills and factor ies. This situation largely explains why 121. 000 or !U per cent of the native white illiterates of the State live in the country.

Roanoke Rapids gets mote free advertising of the finest quality in the recent bulletin issued by the State Board of Health in re gard to the "successful efforts in wholly eradicating malaria", part of the bulletin being a quotation verbatim from the Her ald's recent Anniversary Edition. Thty take their politics serious ly in Brinkleyville -- with a wholesale riot over the election of precinct executive committee men. Ninety nine vet rs out of a hundred in Roanoke Rapids township can't name one mem ber of the precinct committee elected here two weeks ago! No opponent having filed no tice of candidacy, Hon V. L. Long is now the Democratic candidate for Senator from Hali fax County and his name will therefore not be on the ticket to be used in the June primary. There are three candidates for the House of Representatives: J. H. Darden, F. M. Taylor, and J. L. Alston. The two receiving the highest number of votes in the June primary will be the Democratic nominees. The Voting Precincts The action of the Halifax! County Board of Electionn in creating two voting precincts in Roanoke Rapids Township, taken' at the request of W. F. Horner; and others, we believe will result ' in getting out a greatly aug-1 mented vote at both primary and general electrons. The distance to be travelled to vote, when it is as great as that : from South Rosemary to Roa-, noke Rapids, is unquestionably deterrent to busy and indiffer ent electors. The creation of a ; new polling place which will pro- j bably be located on Roanoke Avenue near the Patterson Store. !

Everybody wanted to know where all this taient had been buried so long. The full Easter music of the Episcopal Church v, us sung with a richness and sweetness that surprised all who heard it. For (-everal weeks, in addition to the work with the usual choir, Miss Smith, ably and faithfully seconded by Mr. Lehmau with his clarionet, has been drilling some of the young ladies of her Sunday School class in the music of the Church. These girls have now added their rich young voices to the regular choir with1 most pleasing results. On Sun day they Bang with the ac curacy and composure of veter ans. Those vested were: Misses Lillian Graham, Sallie Saunders, Clyde Short, Jennie Short, Nan nie Twisdal, Pollye Cummings, Ruth Transou, Sallie Long, Mrs. Saunders, and Mrs. Lehman, Mrs. W. L. Long, and. Mrs. C. A. Webb. Vestments for the men have not yet been made, but sit ting near the choir,( lending vig orous support to the ladies were Messrs. C. A. Webb, C. A. Lyer ly, and J. T. Strother. This choir is in no wise design ed to take the singing'out of the hands of the congregation but only to encourage- them to sing with greater heartiness.

If the deslgnar had stopped her tbex would be nothing lacking to make this an acccptabld afteruouu frock of a simple and attractive sort, but with nothing about It to bespeak the genlut that Is expressed by modes from the bouse of Jenny. Therefore the designer did not stop, but proceed d to veil the whole frock la a nils; of net, and did this most artfully.
