His great speech j in the auditorium at the Exposition j erounds is said to have been master-! w of ihP ! f ul beyond description people from Scotland Neck who heard him say that Governor Glenn's powerful speech and the enthasiasm J it aroused was equal to the occasion ; when William, Jennings Bryan was! . L , , r i t first nominated for President Chicago. Governor Glenn outclass-1 ed every one else who has spoken at : the Exposition. j The Norfolk papers were highly i i- . .. j complimentary in reporting the oc- K casion. We have not the -space ; to print the entire report; but give j space to the following very compli-1 mentary paragraph by the Virginian- j Tilot : "The steUar, ever shining light in the North Carolina Day celebration yesterday was Governor Robert Broadnax Glenn, of the State, who has leaped into national fame be cause of the fight with the railroads and forcing them to obey the State laws. He was the orator of the day, the idol of the hour, and not even : was President Roosevelt, the great j national friend of the Exposition, j received with greater enthusiasm fmn Governor Glenn. j "His friends declare his speech 1 yesieraay was me oest enort 01 nis ; . life.

Halifax Superior Court. Halifax Superior Court is in ses sion this week, with Judge W. R. Al len presiding. He opened court at 10:30 o'clock and the following grand jury was drawn: W. I). Bass, fore man, H. A. Pope, S. C. Ccck, A. E. Crawley, J. P. Parker, J. B. Laghter, A. T. Cullom, J. E. Northington, A. J. Merritt, J. H. Collins, Jr. .Sterling Shaw, J. C. Chichester, J. W. Barn hill, F. J. Bonds, W. II. Arrington, C. F. Haskins, J. D. Haskins and W. E. Ramsey. JUDGE ALLEN'S CHARGE. Judge Allen's charge was full and covered the entire Criminal taw. He was clear in his remarks to the grand jury in regard to their duties toHhe State, showing the importance of their work in court. We believe that this is the first court Judge Allen has held in Hali fax, and his first appearance to hold court in the county was welcomed by the people, for his reputation as an able Judge had preceded his com ing. He made a fine impression on all who heard his charge. He is an able Judge, impartial and clear in all hi3 rulings and ; the people of the county are glad to have him to pre side over the interests of the State and County. All the oflicers were in place, in cluding Solister Kerr, Clerk Gary, Sheriff Patterson and his deputies.' The criminal docket showed is not heavy, there being only 45 cases, and none of them being very important. Piles get quick and certain relief from Dr. Shoop's Magic Ointment.

It is true that the work was begun in Edgecombe last 11 Ut it Was SO late that We de cided that it would be best to wait until we could push the work of or- i o-anization to completion. So, ac- cording to my promise in the letter referred to, we are now ready to undertake the organization of the Spanish peanut growers of Halifax. Mr. Sam T. Staneell, of Margarets- v;jje( n. jf representative of the Peanut Growers' Association, will be at the following places next week to address the peanut growers Weklon, August at V.-JM p. m. Halifax. Auaust 23. at 4 p. m. Tillery, August 24, at 2 p. m. Scotland Neck, August 21, at 4 p. m. I would urge that the farmers of Halifax go out to hear Mr. Staneell. It is a leure time now, and you can afford tQ g0 out to hear of a move. ment which I believe has already put thousands of dollars into the pockets of the Virginia peanut grow- ers. Two years ago, if we could J A 1 n get three cents a pound for large peanuts wo thought we were doing we anj (yu not ask for more. This year we have realized between four and live cents for nearly every pound 01 peanuts sold. 1 Know mat me cVi-vf rrrT In d arii-nl liinir tri rio with th-s lyjt nQt ,)y any mm The most pessimistic must admit that the organization, young as it was, influenced largely the advance in prices.

Fsrmei's' fasli.aisc. explained the subject of fertilization, the necessity for it, and the impor tance of study into the needs of par ticular soils and particular crops for J plant food. Mr. Brown is strongly j in favor of every farmer mixing his own fertilizers whenever possible. The first number on the program of the afternoon session was the ad dress of Prof. Stevens, of the A. & M. College. The importance of seed selection was one of the points brought out. Mr. T. E. Brown, who is a success ful peanut farmer of Hertford county, then addressed the audience on the subject of peanut culture. The varieties, geographical distribu tion, amount of yield, methods of planting, cultivating, and harvesting the crop, fertilizers and machinery needed, etc., were treated by Mr. Brown in such a manner as to show his thorough familiarity with his subject. The Institute wa closed that night with the address of Prof. Stevens, who showed the relation of science to agriculture, and pleaded for the better education of farmers and farmers' sons if they would be cessful. suc- BEWAKK UK OINTMENT FOIiCA TAKIil THAT CONTAIN MERCURY, as mercury will surely destroy the .son.-e of snvll and eonipk'tcly derange the whole system when entering it through 1 lio mucous pui faces.

Mr. Madry's Annual Dinner. On Thursday, August 15th, Mr. R. J. Madry gave his annual farmer's dinner at his mother's home a mile from town. There is nothing more pleasant than a family reunion, and Mrs. Madry clings to the old time idea of having her children with her once a year. It is a beautiful custom and the occasion always furnishes an op portunity for happy greetings of the dear kin and pleasant pastime with other acquaintances. Mr. Madry, the I ... 1 i l only one ot the large iamuy wno re mains at the old home with his moth er, unites his efforts with his good wife and worthy mother in making these occasions of great pleasure to all. The family reunion consist ed of the following sons: R. J. Madry and family, six; D. A. Madry and family, five; J. W. Madry, whose family were not pi-esent,one;and sons-in-law, W. O. Bulluck and family of Rocky Mount, eight; J. E. Bulluck and -family of Conetoe, three; T. L. Worsley and family of Rocky Mount, three, making in all, with Mrs. Madry, twenty-seven persons. Besides the immediate family rel atives there were many other guests from Mr. Madry's friends in Scot land Neck and community. These were gathering for an hour or two, and when all were in, the company numbered fully one hundred pei-sons. The day was fine and the pretty home situated in the large and beau tiful grove is an ideal place for such an occasion. When dinner was announced and the guests assembled they looked upon a spread that was tempting in deed. Three long tables had been arranged under the cool shades of wide-spreading oaks, and they were laden with delicacies rich and rare, chief of which were the old time barbecue and Brunswick stew. The preparation was perfect and the ser vice was faultless. Added to the barbecue and the Brunswick stew 1 witii meir proper accompaniments of breads, were ham, vegetables, cakes, pickles and whatever else was needed to make the dinner complete. The happy kin and the joliy guests partook of the bountiful dinner to gether to full satisfaction, and then there was much left. It was indeed a dinner fit for a king, thoroughly enjoyed by all who were present. After dinner the guests scattered, some into the halls and parlor of the beautiful and well kept home to hrar charming music, and some grouped under the pleasing shade of the great oaks to enjoy conversation together. Still others were driven over the fine farm to look at the crops. The broad acres of cotton, corn and pea nuts showed to good advantage, and the growing crops demonstrated that Mr. Madry, with the counsel of his good and practical mother, can produce good crops notwithstanding unfavorable seasons, as we have had this year. As the guests departed, they went deeply impressed with the fact that worthy labor and well directed busi ness enterprise will always bring peace and plenty, as exhibited at this bountiful, well ordered home; and they breathed a silent benedic tion for their good host and hostess with the fond hope that ail may be spared to enjoy many other such oc casions together. It is of interest to note that be sides the efforts of Mr. Madry, his good wife and mother, in preparing such a royal dinner, the barbecue was prepared to perfection by Mr. J. T. O. Hyman, and the Brunswick stew by Mr. N. G. Dickens. Among the visitors from a dis tance were Mr. F. P. Dunning, of Richmond, manager for Armour & Company, and Mr. J. W. Ashburn, manager of the Cotton Oil Company, of Tarboi o. Ac! minisirator's Having qualified as the adminis trator upon the estate of Mrs. Pattie F. Hamlet, deceased, late of Halifax county, N.
