About Roanoke Rapids.
Some days ago Mr. J. K. Dickens.
of Roanoke Rapids, said that it is
lively there all the time.
That town has made fine improve
ments and Mr. Dickens thinks its
future is bright.
The Carolina Fibre Company, with
hcadquarers at Hartsville, S. C, has
been operating a pulp mill in Roa-
nuKe Kapids for eighteen months.
The Roanoke Rapids Paper Com
pany, with $300,000 capital is pre
paring to put in a finishing plant
which will turn out paper in its fin
ished form.
The Roanoke Mill Corrmanv is
erecting forty or fifty new buildings
tor the use of operatives in the new
enterprises to be opened.
The new steel bridge across Roa
noke river was completed a few
weeks ago, and tolls have been col
lected for about three weeks. Mer
chants see improvement in their busi
ness as a result of the convenience to
the people on the other side of the
river to cross over to the town. Pre
parations are being made a short
distance up the river to increase the
water power considerably, and Mr.
Dickens thinks that the prospects
for much larger business there are
very flattering.
Scotland Neck 21, Williamston 4.
The game of baseball here Thurs
day between Scotland Neck and
Williamston resulted in an over
whelming victory for the home team.
The latest returns shows 4 runs for
Williamston and for Scotland Neck
21. The game was one sided from
beginning to end and was therefore
of not much interest to the specta
tors. Even the choicest rooters were
not able to show much enthusiasm.
Taylor started in to do the twirling
for the visitors but was knocked out
in the first inning and was replaced
by Mizell who pitched a very good
game but had practically no support.
For the home team Riddick, N.,
did the twirling and seemingly with
out effort he kept the visitors puz
zled and hits well scattered.

Was it tfte Dead Come to Life?
A letter to the editor of The Com
monwealth from a reader near
Kipling in Harnett county tells the
following story: A man from Chat
ham county told our correspondent
that a certain farmer's wife in that
county heard her husband call her,
and not seeing him near the house
he started to the field to see what
he wanted. She met her husband
coming to the house. He told her
that a man whom he knew to have
been dead eighteen years had just
been where he was at work in the,
field and had talked with him. The
strange man, said the farmer, disap
peared suddenly. He would not tell
what the visitor said to him.
The correspodent to The Common
wealth gives all the names except
that of the dead man flesh or
spirit but they have been witheld
in this story.
Death at Airlie.
Mrs. Alice M. Thorne, wife of Dr.
E. A. Thorne, died at her home at
Prospect Hill, near Airlie, Tuesday
afternoon at 4 o'clock.
She was a daughter of the late
Thomas W. Harris and Martha
Kearney Harris, of Panacea Springs.
She was a most excellent Christian
woman, of a sunny and cheerful dis
position and her home was noted for
its elegant hospitality, and in her
death her husband, children and
other relatives and friends have sus
tained a great loss. Roanoke News.

for the disease which he succetsf ul
ly treats.

teen barbecues, chicken, ham and
many other good things, which were
greatly enjoyed.
Those who went from Scotland
Neck reported poor crops generally,
with a few exceptions for corn and
peanuts.
In Loving Memory.
Little Myrtle Elizabeth, the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Braswell,

July, 10th, 1907, age three months.
Her little body was taken to Hob
good and laid to rest in the family
burying ground. We will not re
member her as dead, but "asleep in
the arms of Jesus."
"The little crib is empty now,
The little clothes laid by;
A mother's hope, a father's joy
In death's cold arm doth lie.
Go, little pilgrim, to thy home
On yonder blissful shore;
We miss thee here, but soon will come
Where thou hast gone before."

Death of Rev. J. K. Howell.
Rev. J. K. Howell who recently
died at his home in Rocky Mount
was well known in this community,
having served the Tillery Baptist
church in the capacity of pastor for
several years. The following account
of his death taken from the Rocky
Mount Record of last week will be of
interest to many readers of this pa
per: Our community was grieved Tues
day morning at the announcement
of the death of Rev. J. K. Howell,
one of our most esteemed citizens
which, occurred at the home of his
son-in-law, Mr. P. B. Kyser on Sun
set Avenue. Mr. Howell was in his
74 year and had been an invalid sev
eral months, but it was not generally
known that an acute attack of indi
gestion had prostrated him on Mon
day afternoon.
Mr. Howell had been a resident of
this city for 16 years, several years
occupying the position of pastor for
the first Baptist church. To a God
like life which impressed every one
who came in personal contact with
him, was added a character of such
integrity in business life that it has
been said of him "That no man a
rnong us on business relations was so
spotless."
He had large busines interests and
was a successful financier, believing
that the ability to succeed in finances
is a God given talent. He was ever
mindful to use it for His glory.
He died as he had lived, in the quiet
possession of an abiding faith in the
eternal Father. Peacefully as a child
lies down to slumber he said good
night to earth and awoke to an ever
lasting day.
Miss Applewhite Entertains.
On Wednesday afternoon of last
week from 5 to 7 o'clock, Miss Mary
K. Applewhite, manager of the Nor
mal Department in the Baptist Uni
versity for women in Raleigh, gave
a reception to the Scotland Neck
students of that institution in honor
of her niece, Miss Edna Lewis, of
Enfield. Among the students pres
ent were Misses Annie Josey, Undine
Futrell, Helen Hilliard and Miss
Anna Kitchin with her guest, Miss
Jeanette Daniel, of Weldon.
Light refreshments were served
and the hour3 spent together were
quite pleasant indeed. Miss Apple;
white was already a favorite with
these young ladies, for it was as
principal in the Scotland Neck
Graded School that she trained them
for college, and now by this charm
ing entertainment they were made
to feel even more attached to her
than before.

WHY SHOULD YOU BUY A g
llummus Cotton
g 1 . Because it will gin faster,
give a better yield.
H 2. Because it is made stronger and there-
fore will last longer.
3. Because it is built right to stand a high
speed without damage to the brush-wheel.
4. Because it is so constructed that if you
should run it at a higher speed than a gin4 should
j be run, it will not "cut the cotton."
INTRODUCED this gin in this section a few years ago, and have sold quite a number q
of them, and refer any prospective customer to aay one using a LUMMUS, as to above claims. O
H The price of the LUMMUS. is not much more, if any, than other gins, but when quality is considered,
then it is much cheaper than other gins. We can supply these gins either in the plain or in the Q
