work of the various departments, has
this to say of a Scotland Neck lady:
"A little more than a year ago the
necessity for still another department
was felt. There was a gap between
the Sunbeam societies and the
Woman's Missionary Societies. Some
churches had already seen this ne
cessity and had met it by organizing
Young Ladies' Missionary Societies.
Miss Mary K. Applewhite, head of
the Normal Department in the Bap
tist University for Women, was sel
ected as the leader of the Young
Ladies' Missionary Societies. She
is at work organizing this important
branch and is making an earnest and
successful endeavor to bring it up to
a greater state of efficiency."

Scotland Neck Electric Light Plant.
On account of the great fire our
town experienced" last year the Elec
tric Light Plant sustained a consider
able loss in revenue for several
months thereafter. Within the past
twelve months, however, many new
lights have been installed and the
Light Plant has more than regained
the lights lost by the fire. Within
this period there have been installed
604 16 candle power lights. Adding
these 604 to 850 lights in use last
June we have a total of 1,454.
Owing to the fact that meters
have to be installed and connections
made with the street commercial
lines this initial expense to the Light
Plant was considerable. One extra
street arc lamp was placed on Church
street making 33 in use.

Freight Car Wrecked.
There was a wreck on the yards
near the depot on the afternoon of
the 4th. The freight train was back
ing from the crossing near the cot
ton mills when the front or rear
truck of a car loaded with brick jump
ed from the side track to the main
track. This twisted the car so that
it was derailed. It took several hours
to clear the track. The derailed car
had to be turned over to let another
freight and the passenger train pass.
The derailed car was badly broken,
and some who looked at it said it
was practically ruined.

Letter to 0. J. Moore.
Scotland Neck, X. C.
Dear Sir: If we sell Devoe to paint
your town, your road won't have so
much freight to handle.
It takes 10 gallons to paint a fair
size house, and that house won't
want painting again for 5 or 10 years.
That's true in a way; but people, you
know, rather like fresh paint, and
they paint for nothing but looks
sometimes. 5
That house would take 12 or 13
gallons of almost any other paint
than Devoe, and would have to be
painted again in half that time. Ten
years is a very long time for a paint
to wear; and five isn't short.
Which makes the most freight, a
10 or 20-gallon paint? 5 or 10 year
paint? But the 10-gallon paint is the
10-year paint; and the 20-gallon paint
is the 5-paint. Which makes the most
freight?
Ask your paint-dealers which he'd
rather sell, and which he could sell
most of. Ask your painter which he'd
rather paint; whether good or bad
paint is good for his business; which
is good paint, the 10 or 15-gallon
paint; which pays the most freight,
and which pays the most wages.
Which will you buy yourself, the 10
gallon 10-year, or 20-gallon 5-year,
paint?
21 Yours truly
F. W. DEVOE & CO.
E. T. Whitehead & Co. sell our paint.

LOOK OUT FOR IMITATIONS
With Tag's About the Same
Color and Design As
This
Tag
The quality of the genuine stiri cured tobacco used in
REYNOLDS' Sun Cured and grown on soil where the best
sun cured tobacco grows, has caused imitation brands to bo
brought out and offered as the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured
to unsuspecting dealers and chewers who do not look closely
at the printing on the box and on the tag.
These brands Only ilititate the outward appcarmtce and do
not possess the genuine inside qiidlity that has been found in
Reynold's Sun Cured ever since Reynolds' Siin Cured was
introduced and which has so increased the chewing of cun
cured tobaccos and proven so popular, that the word :Suii
Cured" is now printed on tags or in the advertising of many
brands claimed to be genuine sun cured tobacco.
Did you ever see the word "Sun Cured" used in any
c"hewing tobacco advertisement, Or on any chewing tobacco
tag or label, or in any other way, before it was introduced and
used to identify the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured ? You see
it frequently now, because many imitation brands are being
inade td appear as nearly like Reynolds' Sun Cured as they
dare with tag, shape of plug and style of package so similar
that experienced buyers sometimes' accept these imitations as
the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured.
Don't be deceived into taking- imitation brands fa itis
genuine. Be sure the letters on the tag spell " R-c-y-n-o-l-d-s'
Sun Cured," and you get the best value in sun cured chewing
tobacco that can be produced for chewers. Sold at 50c. per
pound in 5c. cuts; strictly 10c. and 15c. plugs, with chewing
qualities like that which was sold from GOc. to $1.00 per pound
before Reynolds' Sun Cured was offered to the trade.
