They are the only material out of whiten men can be made. But for boys, girls would be in a sad condition. They could have no sweethearts and no husbands. Without boys we would have no fmeciianics, no business men no lawmakers. If boys are so important, they ought to be very good; and try hard to fit themselves for useful lines. Some lives have been utterly worth less. They nave been more evil than for good. The world has gain ed nothing by some people living iln it, and looses nothing when they die. They are "Creations blot, creations blank." It may be said of them as Jesus said of Juda, "It had been good for that man, if he had never been) born." How sad for a human Ifi-fe to be a curse instead of a blessing: Now boys, I am sure you do not want your lives to be a failure; you live in a bright world , full' of oppor tunities for you to be good and use ful. How can boys be good and useful? 1. By Xovitng and obeying your par ents; and cheerfully doing your part of the home work. 2. By loving: your home and making it the happiest place you know of. 3. Avoid all bad habifts, do not stay out late at night, do not go any where, or do any thing you would not want your mother or isster to know about, Do not smoke cigaretts,, mil lions of boys have ruined their heal th, and minds, and shortened their ISves by using cigaretts. Never tas te a drop of whiskey, or any intoxica- j tiiig liquors as a beverage, armk- ; ing boys make drunk em men; and' mil Hons of drunkards go down every year .and a drunkard's hell. Do not play cards, playing even for amuse ment leads cna to gambling, one of the most corrupting and debassing ! of vices. Do not us vulgar or pro fane language; let all your words be pure and kind, do not associate with bad boys'Evili coMimuniications cor rupt good names,'" do not misbehave at church. It is ugly for 'boys to stay ; cut of doors until after services be gin. It is ugly for them to laugh and whisper durfng services, or to j get up and go out. I have mentioned some things boys ought not to do, now let us name some things they ougih to do. ; 1. Boys ought to be christians as soon a they are oM enough to know ight from wrong as scon as - they know they are sinners, and Jesus is the Saviour, then they ought to pray to God to save them from sin and make them christians. 2. They ought to read their Bibles, and pray every day, they ought to try to do some good every day. 3. They ougiht to study the Sunday School lessons, and understand them, and go to Sabbath-School and church. each1 Sabbath. 4. Boys snould; read good book and newspapers. Never read a newspaper that advocates on advertizes1 whiskey. They are Impure and corrupting. 5. Be industrious, determine to earn some money honestly; and when you get it do not spend it foolshly for unnecessary things. 6. I want aJSl boys to be happy amid useful, and have a good time, and the way to be happy is to be good, and do good. I would 'have all boys to visit nice girls, and other good boys, and have a good time enjoying innocent pleasure, I want all the boys to be good; and to become use ful, happy christian men, and make the world better by them having liv ed in it. I want the boys so to live here, that they may lfve forever im heaven. The boys old Friend. . i J A, StgdJey, WANT NEW TRAIN. Effort on Foot to Sacure Better Rail road Facilities Between Durham and Richmond. The Granville Commercial Club is at work on a proposition to secure better railroad facilities bettweenJ Dur ham and Richmond and effort will probably result in a new train be ing put on tihe Southern Road. A gentieman representing Chase City writes that thev arp trvim,e- to i secure "an additional train, to leave Durham early in the morning and reacn Richmond somewhere about 1 or 2 o'clock and return that even ing, so as to give the people an op portunity to visit Richmond and ihave more time, and then to have the present train run straight thro ugh to Richmond on the usual sche dule, or something of that nature. The club, through one of its stand ing committees, brought the matter up some time ago and has had the matter open. Now tfiiere are the,- other towns along the Dine are actively in terested, the prospects for better fac ilities are greatly increased. The Southern do not think that the ad ditional service would pay, but the Club has put the question more fully before the railroad people, and the general claims will call for belief. The Commercial Club has submitted to the various towns interested' a schedule that would suifl all parties best, though this suggestion! has been thrown out tentatively. It is a very good one, perhaps the best that could be desired. It calls for the depart ure of the train at Richmond at 4 A. M., ariving at Keys.viilje at 6, Ox ford 8, and Durham 9; 30. On the nei turn, it would leave Durham at 6, Ox ford 7; 30, Keysville 9; 30, and reach Richmond at 11; 30 at night. The inauguration of snr.h tion to the regular schedule would mean much to business interest. It or somethng similar, is abdliy need ed, for the public all along the line has suffered has been hampered with these many years for lack of i)t. It would facililate communication be tween the various points and cre ate new- business. The w,hole section has been sfead The services isi the same now. as the Southern .has not in during all this time any additional service whatsoever. the service is th ssaame now as when the territory was not near so wen oeveioped. Everything but! tne railroad has changed and' grown, so there could be small doubtf as to the advantages to the railroad as well as to the clamorors public. The public's need is the railroads profit and the Commercial Club is making the poitnt very plain. m m m R. F. D. News. Mrs. D.

A Missouri Manufacturing Concern is investigating Oxford With View of Transfering Plant Here. A prominent citizen of Oxford who always keeps a weather eye open for matters concerning the welfare and good of our bourgh is in cor respondence with parties looking to the transfer of an overall factory here. The concern is making in quiries a to theav ailiability of Ox ford inducements and iff our citi zens are supplemenitory wide awake, we will soon add another steam whis tle to swell the charms. The plant operates seventy or eighty people, has a capital of $30,000 or $40,000 and turns alose a weekly pay roll of $500, to $600. The concern is looking for a good town with good transportation fac ilities, and one fin which sufficient labor can) be secured. Oxford, of course, can furnish these. The Com pany futhermore says; "The only kind of a town that we would con sider is a town that is uprising? and progresive and had good manufactu ring; facilities, and from such a town we would consider the gift of a fac tory site, and a cash bonus to help bear the expenses of moving and bre aking in the new help." The gentljeman, who has taken the matter up replfied that the business people of Oxford will do all they can to otter the necessary Pnducemnets. He has taken the matter quietly wi)th a few citizens to get their views and these think the people should bestir themseJJves to the matter. He is also trying to get a representative of the plant to come there and look over the situation, in order that the natural advantages of Oxford can be the more ready appreciated. It does noe seem that much diffif culty could be met in filling the the requirements., As to the factor sites, aJQ live town keep them on hand always and are more than glad of a chance to give one away under the proper circumstances. The Led ger sometime ago offered! the sugges tion, that a number of good factory sites be secured so that we might be prepared for all emegienicies The site, of course, should be readily offered, and there shoulld be no trouh le in .arranging satisfactory for the transfer of the plant. It ds to be hoped that the business folks will get a move ont themselves and get the plant here. Services will be held in St. Pauls Church, Goshen on next Sunday at 3; 30 P. M. The Rev. Geo. W.

On the spa cious iporches of Dr. and Mrs. B. K. Hays' residence were arranged four teen tables at which the young People played "forty two."

Prominent Men of Brassfield Give Teacher a months Board Others Will do the Same This is the Kind of Men we Need. The school committee in district No. 3 Brassfield is- composed of three very progressive and public spirited men. When they began to oasft their eyes iabout for teachers for the coming term it was soon evident that the kind of teachers they wanted for their school could not be had for the salary allowed them. This would have been an insurmountable daffieu'U ty tk most men acting in a public ca pacity, and teachers wouild nave been employed to fit the public salary wiketlher they (measured up to the re quired standard or not. This did not exactly falii im .witih. the ideas of these three men, so they set their heads together to devise some plan wihiereby the very best teachers! .could be secured for their schools. One of tihe men said that he would give a monthi'si board to one of the teach ers. The other two readily agreed to do the same, although, one of them has no chlijldren to send to sche oct They think it very probable that a fourth person in the district can be found who will do tjie same thing. This will be equivalent to adding $10.00 a month to the income of the school and thus enable them to get the satme teacher they had last year, two ladies who have very few equa ls in the county. J.

OGireensborof Telegram.) The Raleigh News and Observer tells of anj effort ini Wake County tp get out a citizens ticket in opposing to the Demoortaic ticket nominated in the primary some time ago. It say the men who entered the pirmary are abiding strictly by the action of the primary no matter! whether their far vorites were chosen or not. TeHing of aneffort toy a Republican farmer to go back on the primary nominees and become an independent candidate the News and Observer says: "The. Democratic farmer listened to the Radical emissary make his propo sition, and then) qulitely asked him, 'Didn't you know I voted in the Demo cratiic primary last June?' "Yes, but began the Radical sedu cer. "And, proceeded the farmer, 'don't you know that every man who took pard in the primary is in honor bound to support the ticket named dn it?' "Yes said the Radical, 'but some j of the men you voted for were defeat ed and ' 'Stop right there' said the farmer. 'Every man) who voted in. that prima ry is in honor bound to support thfe nominees. Some of the mem I votied fcr were not nominated. That does not effect my pledge of honor., Indeed I wou5d have sooner felt that I could break my faitih if all my men had been nominated. When a man enters into a solemn compact and tries to break his agreement' he can no- more be trusted because it is in politics than he could be trusted in business.' "But you see, added the Radical, circumstances alter cases, and ' "No," replied the Democrat, when a man goes into primary he pledges his honor to abide the result. There are no 'dfs' and 'and&s' to a man of honor.' As the Telegram has always, con tended, the way the farmer looked at j the matter is the right and proper j way. Once you go initb- a primary you j pledge yourself to abide by its action.1, If there is a candidate before thet pri mary, whom you wouktoiet vote for if nominated, there's .nothing to do- but stay out of the primary . It is some times said that facts come out on a candidate after the primary which make it impossible to support him. But we believe this is more an ex cuse than anything else. The cam paign prior to a hard -fought primary, it. is strange indsed if all the essen tial facts about the lives and records of the candidates do not come out. But granting that previously unas certained facts, do come cut after the primary and before the election, there is this thing to be remembered. In the election one dn voting simply does his part towards earring out the policy (for the time being) of las party. He can very well, unless he is an unusualiljy contrary and cap tious individual, overlook the records of the candidates, giving them the benefit of every doubt and vote as a means of giving his' party cohesive- ness and effectiveness., rather than I on me inaiviuua.1 men its oi me can didates. It cannot be emphasized too strongly that when) one votes in a primary, one is in honor bound to support tihe nominees' of the primary.

The trial of Jlrs. Elizabeth, Rhodes, of Oak Hilt Township, fcr shooting Joe Kinton, colored, on Sunday morn ing, May Stih, 1910, which began on Tuesday and ended Thursday last, re sulted in the acquittal of Mrs. Rhodes About 3; 30 the jury brought in the ve diet which ended the case. The de fense contended that it? was notprover that the wound inflicted caused the death of the negro. It was agreed tbaH to shoot a man in the leg at a distance of 20 feet, no vital part bein struck nor an artery touched, would not be sufficient to produce the result and cause deatlh within, twelve hours. The defense uiponi basis of statement of the defendant which was carrobar ated by the brother was adduced to show that theshot was fired in fear as the negro jumped from his. buggy towards her in a threatening manner. It was also shown that she was with in 40 or 50 feet of her own door and that) the .trespasser had been forbid den the right to enter the premises. eThe defense argued that it was to the defendant's credit that as she fired to protect herself from assualt she, at the moment of firing lowered her gun so as not to inflict a se rious wound, it being contended tjhat she simp(y shot to stop the deceased. It was futhermore argued that the statement made by the daughter of the deceased was improbable and un natural and that the testimony of the colored woman was not to bet be lieved on the grounds that they couM not have seen the cshooting. The defence further brought forward evi dence to show that kinton and, his family have been subjecting Mrs. Rho des too much annoyance and iinsult on account of unfortunate domestic matters not within her control. A number of prominent citizens of the county were introduced as witnes ses to testify to the good character ol of the defendant. The shooting occurred on the Sun day morning above indicated about 10 o'clock, the wounded man dying about twelve) hours after, much to the surprize of the attending physi cian! Dir. Royster. Several women? were with the trespasser, one1 of them being the daughter, and a brother? of Mrs. Rhodes was withen witnessing distance at the time of the shootinig. Th cTweliminarv triali occured before magistrate Stovall who bound over the defendant under a $1,000 bail. But one shot was fared, this taking, ef feet in the 'hip of Kiniion. The negro had been forbiddem to enter Mrs. Rho des premises as he and his family were said to have been very abusive and annoying to the defendant. She was divorced from a worthless hus band, no notorious; for having! desert ed his wife and children and for con sorting with a negro woman of low reputation. The Kinton have been said ot be fond of throwing this fact up to Mrs. Rhodes which was thta cause of the trouble. The case elicted considerable, inter st, the court room, being filled during the course of the trial, and a great deal of feeling was experienced in the section in which the, shooting oc crred. Messrs Graham and Devin. and Roys ter appeared for the defence, tbe sollicitor being assisted by B. Loven stein, of Durham in the prosecution. THE COMMISSIONERS MEETING.
