The 145th annual session of the Kehukee Primitive Baptist Associa tion met with the church at Briery Swamp, this county, on Saturday morning, October 1st, and continued in session three days. Elder Sylves ter Hassell, of Williamston, is mod erator of the association and Elder T. M. Lawerance, of Hamilton, clerk. Elder Hassell has been moderator for twenty-five consecutive years, and Elder Lawerence clerk for twenty-one years. The association is composed of forty-five churches, and embraces that section of the State lying east of the old Wilmington and Weldon railroad and north of Tar river. Forty-three of the churches of the association were represented by del egates or letters at this session. About twenty elders of the associa tion were present, as were also the following visitors: Elders J. A. Man- sees, of Macon, Ga.; J. E. Adams, of Harnett county; P. D. Gold, of Wil son; L. H. Hardy, of Reidsville; L. E. Lundy, of Wilmington; C. C. Bland, of Ayden; G. W. Stokes, of Greenville. The introductory sermon was preached Saturday morning by Elder G. A. Roberson, who was followed with sermons by Elders G. W. Stokes and J. E. Adams. The remainder of the first day was devoted to re ceiving and reading the letters from the various churches and compiling their statistics. A number of the churches showed gratifying increase in membership. Sunday was the big day of the as sociation and a great throng of peo ple were there, the attendance being estimated at fully 4,000. The day was given entirely to preaching, with an intermission for dinner serv ed on the grounds. The sermons that day were by some of the ablest men of the denomination, Elders L. H. Hardy and P. D. Gold preaching in the forenoon and Elders J. A. Mansees and L. E. Lundy in the afternoon. Today, Monday, there were also two sermons which were preached by Elders C. C. Bland and J. A. Man sees. Following these the associa tion concluded its buisness and ad journed at one o'clock to meet next year with the church at Flat Swamp, in Martin county. The buisness of the association was marked with utmost peace and har mony, and the entertainment was all that could be wished for. The people throughout the section took care of the association handsomely, and left nothing undone that would add to the comfort and convenience of all present. While the attend ance was large, the people had made ample preparation for many more. Every home for miles around was thrown open to the visitors. The as sociation expressed its appreciation of the cordial hospitality extended. The Atlantic Coast Line handled well the large crowds who went to and from the association by rail. Greenville Reflector. Calling In Calcutta. Fashion has decreed that formal calls in India and Calcutta shall be made at the hottest time of the day, from twelve to two. The newcomer makes the first calls, and often finds introducing herself a considerable ordeal. If one is going out, or, though at home, does not wish to re ceive, she tells the bearer to put out the box. This is a small japanned tin box of some bright color, with a slit in the top, and on the side the lady's name and the words "Not at home." It is hung from one of the veranda pillars, and when a caller drives up to the bungalow, a servant sitting beneath the box takes it down from its nail, and gravely holds it while the cards are dropped in. New Idea Woman's Magazine for October. How to Please The Editor. Advance to the inner door and give three raps. The devil will attend to the alarm. You will give your name, postoffice address, and number of years you owe for the paper. You will be admitted into the sanctum and will advance to the center of the room, where you will address the editor with the following counter sign: Hold the right hand about two feet from the body, with the thumb and fingers clasping a $10 bill, which you will drop into the editor's hand, saying: "Were you waiting for me?"

C, Oct. 3. We were glad to see Mr. Thurston Vanland ingham, who attends to business for Mr. F. P. Shields, up here Sunday visiting friends. Mr. J. F. Lawrence, of Enfield, is visiting his sister, Mrs. J. R. Holli day. Mrs. J. R. Holliday gave a nice ice cream supper last week, to her Sun day school class. The picnic at Dawson last Wed nesday was a grand success. We were so glad that the good sisters let the old hens escape the hatchet and gave us some , the finest cake and fried spring chicken that ever graced a dinner table. Dr. A. S. Harrison addressed the crowd on the advantages of an education and on building a good three teacher school house here. Some are not in favor of building, but we think the ma jority say move on, build and in struct the younger generation. There seems to be right much cot ton being picked around in this sec tion. We had the pleasure of being on the cotton yard last Saturday in En field. Cotton sold there straight out for 13h cents and cotton seed for 50 cents. Some of our other mar kets must wake up and go to bid- J ding. Mr. Herman Deberry has return ed home from Richmond, Va., very sick with chills and fever. It seems like the farmers' union has busted and gone to wreck. Mr. L. W. Barnhill has dug a very deep well at the cross roads for the convenience of the public. The State Fair Grounds. Among the many improvements on the State Fair Grounds that will be noticed by the crowds this year will be the new Ladies' Dressing Room. The old one has been torn down, and a modern and suitable building put up, not far from Floral Hall, containing all conveniences, including running water and suit able arrangements for checking' cloaks and bundles. Another con-' venience that will be greatly appre-' ciated is a building for the stock men. This structure contains sleep ing rooms and lockers for the use of men who stay on the grounds and look after the fine stock. It was made necessary on account of the greatly increasing exhibits of live stock that have been pouring in for several years, and almost overtaxing the previous accommodations. The t air is fifty years old this year. The dates are October 17-22. Good Way to Use Hyomei for Catarrh. Besides breathing through the in haler a few times a day, many ca tarrh sufferers write that they find inhaling HYOMEI (pronounce it high-o-me) from a bowl of steaming water each night before retiring a great aid in curing stubborn cases. Try it; it's very simple; gives quick relief and makes you breathe easier. Fill a bowl half full of boiling water; pour into the water a tea spoonful of HYOMEI, cover head and bowl with a towel, and breathe through nose and mouth the pleas ant, medicated, antiseptic and heal ing vapor that arises. This method relieves that stuffi ness at once, and makes your head feel fine. You can get a bottle of HYOMEI at druggists everywhere or at E. T. Whitehead Company's for only 50 cent?. Ask for extra bottle HYO MEI inhalent. But bear in mind that a HYOMEI outfit which includes inhaler and bottle of HYOMEI costs $1.00. But, as stated before, if you al ready own an inhaler, a bottle of HYOMEI costs but 50 cents. HYOMEI is guaranteed by E. T. Whitehead Company and druggists everywhere to cure catarrh, sore throat, coughs, colds, asthma and croup, or money back. Try it on that generous basis. Stomach dosing never cured ca tarrh, and never will, HYOMEI di rectly reaches the inflamed mem brane, kills the germs and soothes and heals the inflammation. Write for free trial bottle of HYOMEI to Booth's Hyomei Co., Buffalo, N. Y. It's the World's Best. No one has ever made a salve, oint- nf .... Kolm tn pnmnarpwith Buck- len's Arnica Salve.

Having "been impressed many times during my term of office as Public Executioner with the fact that in toxicating drink is the main support of the gallows, I think it would be dishonest on my part to my fellow countrymen were I to hide by any subterfuge the truth relative to this all-important matter. The world would be astonished if it were generally known what quan tities of intoxicants were consumed by those in authority in our prison?, and especially at an execution. It seems that the very thing that has been the means of bringing a mur derer and his victim to an untimely end must also be used to goad the hangman before he can relentlessly carry out the law of strangulation. Indeed, I can imagine no man who has in any way reached even a mod erate degree of human development capable of deliberately hanging his fellow-man before he has first excit ed his own lower nature by drink. I assert further that out of all the teetotalers of the United Kingdom, and they now number about five millions, I do not believe it possible that one could be found who, were the post vacant, would declare him self ready to become the Public Ex ecutioner of this country. In all the seven hundred execu tions with which I have been con nected, whether as hangman or as assistant, I do not know of one tee totaler among those who paid this extreme penalty. What a country this is for mis takes! In this one thing alone we see the government legalizing a traffic which makes men mad and commit murder; and then, on the other hand, providing a hangman to strangle them to death. James Ber ry in Sunday School Times. The Baptist Sentinel, organ of our colored brethren of North Carolina, says: "Perhaps State-wide prohibi tion is a greater blessing to the col ored people than to the white. Our ministers should be outspoken in their demands for the strictest en forcement of the law. Being ignor ant, our people are more liable to be seduced into violations of the law." Biblical Recorder. Let our temperance forces be on guard. The liquor people never sleep. They are attempting to dis credit prohibition by all sorts of methods. If the law is properly en forced all the money of all the brew ers in the United States can not re open the question in North Carolina. The Happy Family Enjoys Cole's Air-Tight Wood Heater For 15 years Cole's Orieinal Air-Tight Wood Heater has led in sales. It revolu tionized the making of wood heating stoves. It has been imitated by nearly every stove ,, manufacturer in this country. Yet, a greater number of Cole's remarkable wood air-tight heating stoves are sold each succeeding year. No imitation of Cole's Original Air-Tight Wood Heater has ever equaled it for efficiency. No other wood heater is worth as much to you. though many cost more. This is an age of plainness in design, in finish and ornamentation. This is true of furniture and house furnishings why not a plain stove or range? Plain smooth castings, plain nickel, plain blued or patent planished bodies. All this plain modern finish means less labor easy to clean and keep clean. Do not pay for extra, unnecessary trimmings and ornamentations which only add to your labor. Read the following guarantee made by the manufacturers of the Original Air-Tight: We guarantee every Cole's Air-Tight Wood Stove bearing our name to remain air-tight as long as used. We guarantee that it will hold fire over night with dry wood. We guarantee the combustion so complete with wood that ashes need not be removed oftener than four times each winter. We guarantee each stove to be free from imperfect material and workmanship. COLE MANUFACTURING CO. (Not Inc.) Surely this guarantee made by a reliable manufacturer should be of interest to you. Come in and examine this heater. Burns wood, cobs and rubbish. Price $3.00 and up. Colt's Dome Top Air-Tight, at Shown Abovt, tho Handsomest Hotter Made. Hardy Women's Secrets There is one man in the United States who has perhaps heard more women's secrets than any other man or woman in the country. These secrets are not secrets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of suffering, and they have been confided to Dr. R. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help. That few of these women have been disappointed in their ex pectations is proved by the fact that ninety-eight per cent, of all women treated by Dr. Pierce have been absolutely and altogether cured. Such record would be remarkable if the cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. But when that record applies to the treatment of more than half-a- mil lion women, in a practice of over 40 Years, it is phenomenal. and entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women, at the irat ol specialists in the treatment of women's diseases. Every sick woman may consult Dr. Pierce by letter, absolutely withoat charge. All replies are mailed, sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, without any psiaHngor advertising whatever, upon them.
