Colonel ' Roosevelt : thanked Mayor Sharp for bis greeting and expressed his appreciation of the .treatment ac corded him In England. The last part of the journey to Southampton .from.. Wickbam, Mr Roosevelt had covered by motor car, and (proceeded directly to the docks. The farewells took some little time but a few of the closest friends of Mr. Roosevelt accompanied the party to the liner on the tender. . The lat ter, bedecked with flags, looked like a loyal yacht passing through the jam of harbor boats and craft from alt the. seven seas. Its whistle tooted valiantly in answer to the blasts of tne omer vessels ana toe cneers or the thousands lined about the water front. ' The giant steamer herself was gay with flags, the stars and stripes pre dominating., As the tender drew alongside, a terrific : whistle that Beamed to drown out all the other sa lutes went up from her. She carries a record number of pas 80pgers on this voyage a good per centage of them attracted by tae chance of traveling on the same ship that carries a former president of the United States and by the time the Roosevelt party went up the side lad der, nearly all of the 700 first and second class passengers were lined along the side, cheering and waving hats and handkerchiefs. . One of the first to greet Mr. Roose velt dn the' Auguste Victoria was Frank B. Kellogg, the "trust buster" returning to St. Paul with Mrs. Kel logg.' Another to whom Mr.. Roose velt gave a hearty' greeting was Baron Henry Spreck Von Sternberg, nepnew of the late German ambassador of the same name; who was a member ot the famous "tennis cabinet."

Mr. anu Mrs. . Roosevelt occupy an enlarged imperial suite, on the port side, for ward, on the lower promenade deck. Five rooms had been thrown open for them, connected. The rooms are numbered 200 to 208. A feature of the lounging room is a large desk, at Which Mr. Roosevelt intends to do much work on the voyage.

Francis Burton Harrison, of New York, at the white house, as told by the National News Association yesterday after noon.. Opinion is divided as to where the blame belongs for the unceremon ious "turning down" to which the New York congressman was subject ed. Friends of the administration declare that as a matter of self-res pect the president could take no other course than that' which he assumed after Mr. Harrison's open, accusa tion of unfairness, not to say dishon esty, in connection with the now fam ous Ballinger-Pinchot memorandum, which was sent to the joint Investiga ting committee by ' Attorney-general Wlckersham. . On the other hand the supporters of-the congressman assert that the president, who is a public official, should not take the position, that he is aoove criticism, aimougn reserving to' himself the right to criticise oth ers, as he has frequently done. ; In any event, it is believed that the end of the .present trouble between the chief executive, and the congressman has not been reached, and that more will be beard about it in the near fu ture.' It is common knowledge that there are members of the house who agree with Mr. Harrison, in his views about the' Ballinger-Prncbot letter. When Representative Harrison was seen at his home early this morning and asked what immediate course he Intends to pursue Jn the matter, he said: Y-: ., '. ,-:-.-:, 'I cannot ' say at this hour just what I stiall do. niayjiave some thing to make ; public to' the press later in the day and I may not. No, bave .net yet decided Whether I shall .rise to a question of personal privilege in the house . today aud make an - explanation ot the entire Incident at the white house yesterday and Its', attendant circumstance" . It is believed that Mtv Harrison, in tends, to consult with friends In the house today,1 as to what further ac tion he may take in the matter. TRAIN HELD VI.

Indeed gratifying to note that one bank in Halifax county came, to the rescue of the state In its dilemua and purchased $9,500 worth of its bonds.. That bank is the Bank of Weldon.

He lost control of the wheel arid ran Into a tree, throwing "aim and spraining his left arm and demolish ing the bicycle. Mr. Steptal was hurt pretty bad but a physician soon had him all right, except being sore. The Scotland Neck Dramatic Club went to Tarboro a few evenings ago and presented "Escaped From The Law."

All the things that have tae effect of exaatisting the child's bank account. of nervous energy.

After Dr. Rankin's excellent talk Mrs. Chas, D. Mcfyer spoke In the interest of Betterment Work, follow ing up Dr. Rankin's remarks by show ing some of. the things the Better ment Association is.nceomplisuiug for good health.
