THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE Through Eugene Walter's dra matization of 'The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," sweeps the joy, the zest, the enthusiasm of youth in action. June's primitive love is wonderfully developed by Mr. Walter's skill in transferring Mr. Fox's book-girl to the stajre, while the scenic conception of the lonely pine, the cabin n the conquest of the Gip form- i moving background of color ( naturalness. Appreciative au diences in Boston, Philadelphia, New York and Chicago packed the theatres during the long runs of the plav in those cities. Seldom has a play been given such an artistic production. It enhances the portrayal of peo ple, whom primitive life has hardened with deep understand ing and sympathy.

J the - Other so ACCIDENT IMPOSSIBLE! Thet people of our community were shocked and saddened Tues day evening as the news of ihe distressing accident which c curred in Weldon only a few minutes previous became known. The facts of which are as follows: Mrs. Susie P. Scott had carried her sister, Mrs. John H. Parker, and several school girls to En field to attend a basket ball game between Enfield and Roanoke Rapids High Schools. While returning home, just as the car was about to cross the Seaboard tracks at the crossing in Weldon near the Terminal Hotel, several railroad workers called frantically to Mrs. Scott to stop her car that a train was coming. Mrs. Scott, who is a a very careful driver, had, upon approaching the tracks, cut down the speed of her car and was in full control of the same. She immediately made a sharp turn to the left and cleared the track with the exception of the car fenders. The occupants of the car jumped. Mrs. Parker, who was on the side of the car next to the approaching train jumped from the automobile and was either knocked down by the train or fell and both legs were caught under the wheels of the same i one leg being completely severed and the other so badly mangled that.it.had to be amputated. - As soon as the train could be stop ped Mrs. Parker was carried to the Terminal Hotel where Drs. Zollicoffer rendered first aid to the wounded lady, and as soon as possible rushed her to the Roa noke Rapids Hospital where her injuries received the proper at tention. Occupants of the car state that there were no lights on the train nor was any signal displayed by the watchman at the crossing and that the watchman was not seen until after the accident Mrs. Parker is a sister of Mrs. Susie P. Scott and arrived at Roanoke Rapids last Friday night for a visit. She is prominent in New Jersey and New York. She is president of the M. E. Home for the Aged ' in New Jersey, president of The Theatre Clubs, Inc , and Olora Club, New York, a trustee of the school board of Long Branch, and prominently connected with other , women's clubs.

C, Feb.- An nouncement has been made at the University of North Corolina that the annual High School Week will be held this year at Chapel Hill, April 20-24. At this time several hundred high school girls and boys are expec ted to be in Chapel Hill to parti cipate in and attend the final contest in the high school debate the interscholastie tract meet, and the interscholastie tennis tournament. It will be the eighth year that the championships in debating and tract have been held at the University and the fifth time for tennis. All three events are expected to attract more students this year than ever before and extensive preparations are being made for their entertainment. Two hundred and fifty high schools have entered the high school debating union thus far, Secretary Rankin said to-day, which approaches the largest number the union ever had, In 1916 there were 325 schools and in 1917, 331 schools, and Secre tary Rankin expects the total this year to run up nearly as hiiih.. The final debate all over the State will be held toward the end of March. Each school will have two teams, one of affirma tive and one negative, and those schools winning both debates will send their debaters to Chapel Hill for the final elimination con tests and the championship de bate tor the Aycock Memorial Cup. lhe subject this year is restricted immigration. Three thousand copies of a hundred-page bulletin are being distributed now to the schools in the union. It contains a great deal of information on the for debate aruments on both sides, and references to other sources of information. I j -n flu en z a in H alifax ! i By the County Kcsith Officer) There has bean a total of 1 "Q cases of influenza reported in this county inciud.ns those re ported Sunday which amounted to 70 casts being by far the greatest number reported in one. where he had been for several day. The epidemic begin - to be j days confined to his room with noticed in this county about tenia opvptp M days ago, and since that time it has been gradually gaining in the number of cases daily, and has reached every rare of the J count v. The largest r.jmber of ; leases from any community is 43 these were reported from Hollis ter. The eniik-mie as anile this year is not s i severe as last year jam there is not so great a ten- J Ideiicv to dvtlrjv p. .eumonia pfi'.Tv arJs it .-ieii;s, but every i precaution s'rcuiil l e taken just j the same. I Influenza is sprcui by careless spitting, iMu;;hiiig and using the same orinkiim' vessel others have use 1. The desease germs are carried in the spittle and in the little drops of secretion from the nose and throat. It is most commonly spread in public gatherinrs churches, schools, picture shows, business houses, fairs, trains, c r any other place where people congregate. Soda fountains are especially danger ous if they do not supply indivi dual, sanitary cups and sterilized spoons. It will lessen your chance of having "Flu" if you keep away from crowds, especially indoor gatherings, and avoid people who cough and sneeze and spit without holding a handkerchief over their nose and mouth. Keep the bowels open, gurgle mouth and throat and rinse out nose with warm salt water, using a level teasposnful of salt to a glass of warm water. Sleep and eat regularly. Keep in the open air ias much as Possible, and be sure t0 wasn your nan(3 before eating and never Pllt .vlir unwashed nands in 'our mouth. Should the epidemic visit you do not become unduly alarmed, use Judgment and common sense and l,e 8ure helP that cannot help themselves. If the proper precautions are taken it is not especially dangerous to care for the sick. During an epide mic of Influenza t ho dangerous fellow is not the one sick in bed but the fellow who goes around coughing and sneering in a care less manmr. Influenza and La Grippe are the same disease. There are no vaccines or serums tor Intluenza, and don t waste your money on patent medicines, you had best call a doctor.

With your waters around you and your dress of green, Although you contain some thoughts so mean, You have always seemed a mystery to me. And even yet I canot see How you are so merry and gay With all these troubles on you every day. Viola Glover I know some thing that's- !big and round . It contains many a town. The one that is best I know you will have guessed. It is made of water, trees and soil; Of many things that work and toil. These are the men that tvork within This big, wide world which has no end.
