Better Safe Than Sorry Asew r more laps and the course | will have been run. Only a short time remains to choose between victory and defeat—success or failure. Don’t overlook your chances to w’in, and al ways remember that your adversaries as keen, perhaps and as resoureful as yourself are v r rack very acute brains for the purpose. It means something to win in a competition of this kind. It is a demonstration of capacity that jS ex traordinary. Sometimes it will prove up the “yellow” in your bogus friends but will reveal the true ones, and it always tests your mettle and mea sures your strength. Subscriptions will count for more than all the regrets in the world after next Wednesday night. Miss Stallings is campaiging this week, making a hard and fast cam ; paign. She ought to be heard from in a real way this period as her host of friends are rallying to her call and doing their bit to help her over the goal. Miss Privett realizes the import ance of this week and is spending much time among her friends and they are responding to her efforts by giving her extensions to their first subscriptions. Mrs. Brantley expects to make the grade on high this week. She is cer tainly one consistent worker and may well be expected to finish strong. Mrs. Brantley is one of the most popular candidates in the campaign and is ! fuly capableof enhancing her stand ing this week. Friends of Miss Birdie Murray are manifesting a keen interest in her campaign and are pulling strong for , her. She ought to be able to note i a material vote advance in her favor before the clock strikes ten Saturday night. Miss Broughton is expected in Sat urday with a splendid report. Her friends have been supporting her to the limit. Mrs Horton is doing some fine work, and says she hopes to make her biggest report Saturday. Never since this campaign was in augurated has so much general inter est been displayed in this election. Everyone seems to be interested. And candidates are working like they never worked before. These Third i Period days sure are “pep” days. Two days and comes the END of . the great THIRD Perior. The next two days are your last chance to ex ■ tend f.rst and second period subscrip . tions on the basis of the first and ■ second period schedule. Miss Wheeler, of Bunn, is working . hard on extensions and her friends are going their limit to help her win r the big prize. i A big report i 3 expected from Mrs. (Continued on Page E'ght) REPRESENTING FOUR COUNTIES—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH and FRANKLIN ZEBULON, N. C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1925 HIGH BEATHRATE AMONG INFANTS Health Dept. Centers Work in Care Mater nity & Infant Cases Over one-third of the deaths in Wake county last month were of children under one year of age, and it is on this phase of the work that the Wake Coupty Helath Department is centering its attention, according to the report of Dr. A. C. Bulla, of the County Health Department, made to the county Board of-Health Mon-<- day. A bureau of infant and maternal hygiene was established by the De partment last fall, and a course was given mid-wives. Twenty mid-wives completed this course last month. Dr. Bulla stated. The report shows 42 births attended by mid-wives, and 150 by doctors. It is his aim eventually, to eliminate the services of mid- 1 wives, as this is one of the greatest ■ sources of danger, both to mothers I and infants. If there is one time j when professional service is needed ■ it is at childbirth, Dr. Bulla stated In the rural sections, however, where, the services of these mid-wives are employed, the best that can be done is to educate these women until their 1 services can be eliminated.

He became a Christian in early boy-! hood, uniting with the church at Flat j Rock and later moving to Poplar Spring where he was a member at [ th f ‘ time of his death. He was a j faithful member, attended regularly! until he became disable and then j he was interested in the work of the ! chuVch, although being deaf and ! blind for a long time he kept the! faith and was ever ready to talk of the home beyond the grave and was anxious to go to be with his compan ion, who preceded him to the grave j about five years ago. The funeral was conducted Monday p. m. at Pine Ridge Baptist church, by Rev. J. A. Mclver, of theLouisburg Baptist church and he was laid to rest in the family burying ground.

Sheriff Mangum Returns to Work Deputy Sheriff W. E. Mangum re turned to work Monday, just four weeks after the day on which he, was shot by “Slim” Anderson, the bandit killed here in a battle with the police, and one week after he was discharged from the hospital. Sheriff Mangum said that he ex pected to take things easy for a while and would refrain from going on any long trips. He seemed to be in the best of spirits and none the worse for his experience. J. L. Emanuel, Raleigh attorney, has been in correspondence with Clinton A. Groman, an 'attorney of Allentown, Pa., who was a judge in that district at the time Clarence Nae | gly was sent to the Huntington Re-1 formatory, and who passed sentence I upon Naegley. Anderson was believed to have been Clarence Naegly, Naegley was paroled from the reformatory at Hun tington through the efforts of Gro man, but later disappeared and had not been heard of since. Mr. Groman requested information about Anderson and from that which was furnished him, came to the con clusion that he was not Clarence Naegly. From information available to Mr. Groman, Naegley seemed to have been well behaved since he left the reformatory and the attorney stated that he was very much surprised to learn of the trouble he is alleged to have gotten into in Raleigh, and from later information was convinced that Anderson was not Naegley. Corner Waring has contended all along that Anderson was not the man who was paroled from the Hun tington Reformatory. E. M. JOHNSON PAROLED Governor on recommenda tion of Pardon Commissioner H. H. Sink, has paroled E. M. Johnson, of Wake county, for the remainder of his term, and revoked the reprive of M. S. Hartsong, Ashe county. Johnson was convicted at the April term of Wake Superior court for violation of the prohibition law, and sentenced to 12 months on the roads. He was first tried in Raleigh City court, and given a sentence of six months. But on appeal to the Supe rior court, he was given the twelve months’ sentence. In view of the fact that he had not appealed, the prisoner would have completed his sentence by this time, and that the prisoner has suffered three deaths in his immediate family since ho began to serve his term, he was paroled for the remainder of his term. Hartsog was repaved from a t-vc year sentence on the roads or J.:,:c 19, of this year, on several conditions one of which being that he obey the laws of the State. The Governor is “reliably informed that the prisoner has not obeyed the laws of North Carolina during the term of his re prive,” and the reprive was revoked. Hartsog was convicted of an as sault on a female in Ashe Superior court in October, 1924.

Mass lich, bond attorney for the State dur ing the Morison administration, acted in a similar capacity. “DEAR WIFE” Oh, the memory of that day as I stood with aching heart, Hearing of the one I loved so dearly Pass by deaths most cruel dart. Rest on dear thy labor is o’er, Thy willig hands will toil no more. A faithful wife, both true and kind, A truer wife you can not find. No one knows the silent heart aches, Only those who have lost can tell. Os tho grief that is horn is silence For one I have loved so well. Dear wife, I am sad and lonely too, today My heart is heavy and grief is my pain. When I think of you, Dear Lucy, Whom death had to claim. 1 can not forget you dear wife, Though long may seem the day, And often in the lonely house I wipe the tears away. Often when the days are brightest, A gloom steals in my heart And it brings back the sad memories of the day God bid us part. For the Lord who gave has called you, To his will we all must bow You ire free from pain arid suffer ing. Not a care can reach you now. The rolling streams of life roll on, Rut still the vacant chair, Recalls the love, the voice, and smile Os one who once sat there. Just a thought of sweet remember ance, Just a memory fond and true, Just the love and sweet devotion Os the one who thinks of you. In my heart your memory lingers, Tender, kind, and true, There’s not an hour, dear darling, That I do not think of you. There are times when the frief is so heavy, To hard to bear it seems, But the Master’s voice whispers, “my child,” Have patience and courage to wait, For some day you’ll meet your loved one, Face to face at the pearly gate.” A happy home we once enjoyed, How sweet the memory still, But death has left a vacant chair The world can never fill. I can see your dear sweet face in mind, The last sweet look that you gave me stil lingers in my mind. I often think of the days I spent with you, Although I will wait the Saviors time. Viola Minga.
