HARD SURFACED .
HOAD TO LIBERP
The first hard surface road in the
county will be the Liberia road. The
District Engineer states that on ac
count of the scarcity of good top . soil,
it would be cheaper to hard surface,
this road. The Liberia road is an
important link of the Nashville-Cen-treville-Rocky
Mount - road and ' we
are assured that work from Warren
ton to Liberia, a distance of five
miles will be commenced some time
this summer.
. The new Nashville-Liberia road
will be open for travel sometime in
September. This will mean that
travel from Richmond, and points
west will pass through Warrenton on
their way to Rocky Mount, Wilson
and Eastern North Carolina with ,a
great saving of mileage.
THE FAMOUS CONNETICUTT
BLUE LAWS
Monroe Enquirer.
Since local option and' prohibition
elections have ceased to furnish ex
citement and organization, our old
friend "Personal. Liberty" is scarcely
seen or heard of. Now and then,
sowever, when a town under pressure
or for some other reason moves to tie
up things, or to regulate some abuses,
you can hear our old friend, Person
al Liberty" make some remarks.
But no town or city or state would
tolerate, without multiplying the po
lice force by 'one hundred, the blue
laws that once prevailed in the Nui
meg State.
The laws enacted by the people of
"Dominion of New Haven," became
known as the blue sky laws because
they were printed on blue paper.
They were as follows
The governor and magistrates con
vened in general assembly are the
supreme power, under God, of the
determination of the assembly no ap
peal shall be made.
No one shall be a freeman or havo
a vote unless he is converted and a
member of one, of the churches al
lowed in the dominion.,. V
Each freeman shall swear by the
blessed God to bear true allegiance
to this dominion and that Jesus is the
only king.
No dissenter from the essential
worship of this dominion shall be al
lowed to give a vote for electing cf
magistrates to any office.
No food or lodging shall be offered
to a, heretic.
No one shall cross a river on ttu
Sabbath but authorized clergymen.
No one shall travel, cook victuals,
make beds, sweep house, cut hair 01
shave on the Sabbath day.
No one shall kiss her or her chil
dren on. the Sabbath or feasting da
The Sabbath day shall begin at
sunset Saturday.
Whoever wears clothes trimmed in
"old. silver or bone1 lace above one
shilling per yard shall be presented
by the grand jurors and the state be
taxed 300 pounds by the selectmen:
Whoever brings cards or dice in
the dominion shall pay a fine of 5
pounds.
No one shall eat mince pie, dance,
play cards, or play any instrument
of music except the drum, trumpet
or jewsharp.
No gospel minister shall join peo
ple in marriage. The magistrates
ma join them, as he may do so with
less scandal to Christ's church.
When parents refuse their children
in marriage the magistrate shall de
termine the point.
A man Avho. strikes his wife shall
be fined 10 pounds
A woman who strikes her husband
shall be punished as the law directs.
No man shall court a maid in per
son or by letter without obtaining
the consent of her parents; 5 pounds
for the first offense; iO pounds for
the second; and for the third impris
ment during the pleasure" of the court.

Warrenton on Monday, July 11th at
8:00 o'clock. The convention will con
tinue through Tuesday there being

The Sunday School leaders of the

tunate in having secured Mr; D. W.
Sims, General Superintendent of the
North Carolina Sunday School As
sociation, as one of the speakers.
Under Mr. Sims' direction the Asso
ciation is doing some progressive
Sunday School work. Before taking
up the work in North "Carolina, Mr.
Sims served for five years as General
Superintendent in Alabama, and for
the past eight years has been General
superintendent of the Georgia Sun
day School Association. Mr. Sims
not only knows the organied S. S.

perience as Sunday School teacher
and superintendent. He was super
intendent of a Sunday School in Rich
mond which increased in membership
from 95lNtoi2,072-riri ies&$juuthre
years time. He is noted for the prac
ticality of his addresses delivered in
such a humorous, interesting and in
structive way. Mr. Sim's first lec
ture in Warrenton will be on "The
Book from the Landv of the Book"
which is based on iiis observations
while traveling in Palestine. While
on this trip to Palestine Mr. Sims
during the past fall he took a trip
traveled in ten foreign countries, and
to China, Korea and Japan.
Miss Flora Davis, Assistant Super
intendent of the North Carolina Sun
day School Association, will also be
one of the speakers. Miss Davis
knows the Sunday School work and
her addresses on methods of work
are said to be very helpful and deliv
ered in a very attractive manner.
Miss Davis was one of the official
delegates to the World's Sunday
School Convention an Tokyo, Japan,
last October. She also'.took an ex
tensive tour into China and Korea as
well as visiting many of the princi
pal cities of Japan. Warren County
convention is among the first conven
tions Miss Davis has helped in since
taking up the work in this state re
cently. She comes to North Carolina
from Georgia where she has done
similar work for the past nine years.
The Sunday School leaders of the
State feel that a very competent As
sistant has been secured in Miss
Davis.
The meeting at Warrenton is ar
ranged under the auspices of the
North Carolina Sunday School Asso
ciation which is the only organiza

COMMUNITY DEADHEADS
Thomas Brooks Fletcher, of Mar
ion, Ohio, the other editor of Presi
dent Harding's home town, speaks of
community deadheads as follows:
A community deadhead is a citizen
ostrich, with his head buried , in the
sand. He is a man who opposes
everything new; who votes No on im
provements, expects salvation be
cause it's free, but would not seek it
if, it cost him anything; erects spite
fences and divides his town into
cliques, north, east, west, south, and
outside.
He is negatively good and there
fore positively bad. He is the man
who refuses to cooperate, and who
thinks more of prosperity than he
never does anything for his commun-
, itv until he dies. Albermarle . Ob-

tic of pure and fadeless love. Beauti

Queen Annie's lace and jessamine, to
gether with pots of sweetpeas, soft
ened ; by . ; million candle rays, the
scene was indeed effective.
Miss Lena Taylor of Townsville,
wearing white organdie with a satin
trimmings, and corsage of sweet peas
and roses, presided at the organ with
grace and ease that ever character
izes her' on all occasions.
Miss Helen Kimball, attractively at
tired in lavender organdie, reached all
hearts with her sweet voice preparing
them for the impressive ceremony so
soon to follow, as she sang, "Oh.
Promise Me," and "The; Hour that
gave Me . You." After which the

good wishes for the happy pair.
Miss Kimball has for several yearn

with the Norlina high school, .where,
with her tactful methods of teaching,
she won the hearts of children and
parents as well; and it is among
these people she swells the number
of wai;m, true and faithful friends,
and they claim in voting Mr. Bobbitt
their congratulations they recognize
their loss.
The ladies of Norlina in token of
their love for Miss Kimball had sev
eral miscellaneous showers in her
honor that meant scores of useful and
pretty gifts. The large crowd in at
tendance at the marriage and the
many useful and handsome present?
attest the popularity of the contract

make their home in South Hill, Vir
ginia, where their many friends wish
