CUR TONGUE WIGWAGGING SYSTEM Doubtless you have heard the story about the two Mack cats, surrounding a black lot, which belongs to a black man, residing in a black neighborhood. If you have never heard it, the story is this: Whole lot of noise, don't amount to much, soon over and forgotten But, did you ever hear the story about two people in two yards talking over two fences, about other people. If you have never heard it, the story is this: Started innocently, required but a few moments to tell, lasted longer than the world and did more damage than a car load of dynamite. It is all well enough for us to have large police forces in large cities to keep the people straight, and a good detective force twice as large as the police force to keep the police straight, but a more important thing than both of these is for us to be born with heads large enough, in order that they can hold brains enough to give us sense enough to keep our tongues straight. The trouble with all of us is that we are "so" good ourselves and the other person is "so" bad that his badness makes him loom up like a mountain along side of our "little" mole hill. Just a few days ago we had the privilege of hearing a person telling some friends that he had been so good along a certain line in life, and delighted in patting himself on the back for his great ness and condemning others for their shortcomings along the same line. This was very good and we really felt thankful that we were in company with such a good person, but before many hours had passed this same per son was engaged in one of the gceaiesi iiiuu-siiiiging campaigns j that you would ever listen to, greatest mud-slinging campaigns against some former friends. It's the same old story-"one thing thoulackest." People are inclined to talk. That's alright. That is tfhat our tongues were made for, but it is a mighty good thing that the Creator made our tongues out of a material that does not wear out with use, otherwise ninety nine and nine-tenths of the population of every town, village and city would be tongueless be fore they were old enough to join the church choir, Lecome a mem ber of the community sewing circle, or take the stump for woman suffrage. Listen. Do you know what the trouble is? If you don't, will you forgive us if we tell you. There are two things the trouble with the majority of us. First, we have no object in life, not work ing to accomplish anything, simply staying around to give someone the pleasure of keeping us in trouble or out of it just killing time, waiting for the hour to come for some of our relatives to call the undertaker. This being the case, our brain does not have anything to do, consequently it starts up our wigwagging system known, as a rule, in every lo cality the world over where two or more persons reside, and if you can find a locality where there are only three persons and they live ten miles apart, we venture to say two of them will be on the telephone talking &uOiit the third one. The second trouble is: Our eyes ears, mind and tongue are inclin ed to work harmoniously together to be perfectly frank, they are about the biggest liars you can find. The eyes see something, the ears hear something, and in stead of them conveying the truth to the mind, they force it to ac cept the untruth, and then the mind, through the imagination, turns over to tongue the worse thoughts possible, and the ton gue, througn the wigwagging system, tell3 the world every thing but the truth. When we train our eyes to see nothing but the good, nothing but the truth in every person, and our ears to hear nothing but CHIEF DOBBINS CAPTURES BIG STILL MONDAY NIGHT 28 Gallooi First Run Liquor ind 2900 Gallons of Beer Poured in Roanoke Monday, Chief H. E. Dobbins, got a little information, and im mediately deputized a few men to assist him and went on a hunt, although some hunt ducks in that locality Chief Dobbins and his assistants left their duck guns at home. The game they were looking for proved to be located on a lonely island among the "rapids" of the Roanoke. After traveling nine miles on auto, about a mile and a half on foot and .a mil i and a half on canoes, they came upon one of the largest stills ever cap tured in this section, the same was in full blast but its operators had fled and it stood alone. They immediately dismantled the plant poured its contents and 2900 gal ons of beer in the river and started home with their capture. The worm was a two inch affair and weighed 63 pounds. The plant was copper throughout. Chief Dobbins says he found two kegs of drinking water and enough food to last the four operators for a week, and lum ber for a shelter. The identity of the operators and owners has not as yet been established although Chief believes he knows the owner.

Try it! New Idea. AMERICAN LEGION TO, HOLD GALA DAY The RoanoKe Post of the A merican Legion is preparing to put on a gala day in Scotland Neck on November 11th, the 2nd anniversary of the signing of the armistice between the Al lies and the Central Powers, and already the preparations have taken definite form in the ap pointment of committees to look after each and every detail and the membership of the post are confident of outdoing anything that has so far been done in any town the size of this one.

Numbers of floats both from Scotland Neck, the rest of Halifax County and from other parts of the state have already been entered and if plans go through as they now seem cer tain of doing it will without doubt make this day the most memorable one that Scotland Neck has had in a number of years.

ELECTION QUIET; BIG DEMOCRATIC MAJORITIES IN BOTH PRECINCTS The election here was quiet with a good many women voting in both Rosemary and Roanoke Rapids precincts.

AURELIAN SPRINGS NEWS The community of Aurelian Springs has been full of action this week. If you could have been there Tuesday afternoon and seen how the teachers of Hollister, New Hope, Bear Swamp, and South Rosemary came over and helped arrange exhibits and if you could have seen how hard our dear Supervisor worked to make it a success, and if you could have seen the efforts put forth by our own noble Miss Leather wood, and if you could have seen the efforts of the people of this individual community you would not have wondered that this County stands high in everything. The Fair was a great success due to cooperation. The teachers of all the com munities are offered a vote of thanks by the community people of Aurelian Springs and especial ly by the Parade Committee and officers of the Fair Association. On Wednesday evening, Oct. 27, a very interesting movie was given at Aurelian Springs by Miss Washburn our Community Service Leader. The pictures consisted of two comics, and "Robinson Crusoe." Two choruses were sung by the school children and several by the people of the community. We were very glad to have with us all the Dawson teachers and a number of their com munity people. They came thirty miles to see what Aure lian Springs was doing. This shows that they are very co operative people. We welcome them and hope they'll come again. We hear that Dawsons says they'll beat us or "bust" we say go ahead and bust. On Oct. 27th a vry interest ing Basket Ball game was played at Aurelian Springs between Hollister and Aurelian Springs girls. Tne score was almost even until almost the close of the game when Hollister gained two points on Aurelian Springs. Although Hollister. won the score we feel that we won the game and are glad to say that we were able to stand the de feat like ladies. But Aurelian Springs says to Hollister come "again, he who succeeds is not the one who never falls" but the one who gets on his feet again every time he does fall.
