This time by the Corporation Commission. The writer referred the letter pub lished below to a member of the County Highway Commission and was advised by this party that personally he thought the propo sition of the Corporation Commis sion impractical. We want to know the sentiment of the people of the community before answering this letter. Please let us hear from you. May 1, 1920. Mr. F. M. Shute, Herald Publishing Company, Roanoke Rapids, N. C. Dear Sir: IN RE ROANOKE AVENUE CROSSING. Replying to your letter of the 28th ult., in regard to the above subject, I am directed by the Commission to advise that they feel more inclined to an overhead bridge to alleviate the hazards at this place than any other form of protection. This inclination of the Commission is strengthened by the second paragraph of your letter of October 20th in which you state that it is the consensus of opinion that this crossing should be done away with entire ly and an overhead crossing placed at the extension of Hamil ton Street. The county authorities, under the law, have the right to say where roads shall be and in desig nating roads of course they would designate crossings and where such county authorities may ascertain that a crossing is necessary, overhead or underpass such county authorities can make application to the Commission to say what part ot that expense, let it be overhead bridge or what not, shall be paid by the railroad over whose track the bridge is to be built, therefore, if the above position is satisfactory to your people, the next procedure would be to let the county authorities take such action as they deem necessary towards changing the crossing to Hamilton Street with a view to crossing the tracks with an overhead bridge and then make application to the Commis sion to say what part of the over head bridge expense should be paid by the Railroad Company. With very best wishes, I am, Respectfully. R. O. Self Clerk. Copy to W. L. Stanley, Atlanta, Ga. PREPARE THE BABIES FOR HOT WEATHER During the month of May and June is the time to get the baby in his best condition to withstand the extreme heat of the summer months. If the baby is below normal you should not wait until it is actually sick before taking it to a physician. Careful attention to feeding and the details of the infant's nourishment should be carefully investigated and regulated in order that the babies' digestive apparatur may be in the very best condition to withstand the hot summer without serious trouble, Gastro intestinal or otherwise. Breast feeding is by far the oest for the baby - it increases its chances ten fold. When the baby is weaned or if he mother cannot nurse him do not experi ment with his feeding. A good doctor should be consulted at such a time. Cows milk is very different from mothers milk and must be modified for a baby. Sometimes patent foods are satis factory but a good doctor should be in charge when such foods are used. At best they are poor substitutes for breast feeding and are likely to produce rickets and scurvy. Prepared foods should be made up fresh for each feeding. REV. McLENDON 1 SICK AND CANNOT HOLD MEETING His Letter to Mr. Lance is Printed to Explain to Admirers of the Commun ity Why He Cannot be Here, Bennettsville, S. C, April 28th, 1920. Rev. C. M. Lance, Rosemary N. C. My Dear Brother Lance :- When you were in my room the other day I did not know that I was in such a serious con dition as I was. Dr. Crosland gave me a thorough examination this morning and says it will be weeks and probably months be fore I can do any more work. My right lung is affected and he says my liver is in a dreadful condition. I have one nervous chill after another. This is not my fault and I am as badly dis appointed as you are that I cannot get to you now, but I am not al ways going to be sick and if you will hold this meeting open for me I am sure that by July or August I will get to you. All of my party has gone and if I come to you I will have only a choir director, which will cut our ex penses down at least $1200.00. We had about . 500 people to join the church at Rocky Mount and I was out of the meeting for two weeks. I am going to Glenn Springs in a few days and stay for a while. I can't go any where now because the doctor thinks best for me to stay at home. In His name, B. F. McLendon. While we regret that Bro. Mc Lendon and his party will not be with us to conduct this general Evanglestic Campaign, as we had expected, we are glad to state that Rev. L. D. Haymon, of Weldon, will preach in the Rosemary Methodist Church each night at 7:45 this week. We ex pect our meeting to continue 10 days or two weeks. A cordial invitation to all to attend these services. Chas. M. Lance BRIDGE QUESTION UP AGAIN At the meeting of the County Commissioners last Monday, Hon. W. L. Long, asked the commis sioners for an appropriation of $20,000 to apply on the purchase price of the bridge here, the ap propriation to be made provided that the commissioners of North ampton would appropriate $10, 000. Mr. Long stated that the town of Roanoke Rapids would pay $5,000. The commissioners failed to act on the proposition however as there were only three present and two of those wanted to think over the matter and wait until the next meeting for action. DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SETS PRIMARY DATE At a meeting of the Democra tic Executive Committee held Monday at Halifax, Saturday, June 5th was set as the date for the primary for the selection of County officers to be elected in November. A resolution requiring a fee of $12.50 to be paid by all county officers entering the primary was offered and passed. The chairman, Mr. Geo. C. Green presided. Baptists Postpone Bu'ldim New Church On account of the very high cost of building at this time, the erection of the new house of worship by the Roanoke Rapids Baptist Church will be postponed for the present. The funds which have been paid in for this purpose and other funds which shall be collected for the same purpose will be properly de posited where interest will be received upon it so that it will be in readiness when it is deem ed wise to proceed with the building. TWO NEGRO CAR BREAKERS JAILED Two negro car breakers were jailed at Halifax last week. A rather husky negro called Big Jim, who operated on the Coast Line at Norfleet was taken in Suffolk. Big Jim pleaded in nocence and forced the North Carolina authorities to get a re quisition for him. Jack Bennet was caught "playing" the Seaboard with Summit as his base. On his last steal (for awhile) he appro priated several cans of lard and a barrel of paint, (thinking it was sugar). Jack A-as rather bold and openly told merchants to whom he tried to sell the stolen goods, that he got the same from a freight car. Sheriff House caught Jack at Weldon Saturday and placed him in jail. HONOR ROLL ROSEMARY SCHOOL 1C.
