C, as Second-Class Matter. Thursday, April 20, 1911. The new Congress is getting down to work. We can never have good roads un less we make the start. There is no doubt but that diversi fication is the key to successful far ming. The town of Ayden has recently voted $12,000 bonds for public schools. A big cotton crop cannot compen sate for a short crop of corn. Plant plenty of corn and raise more meat is always good advice. The long drawn out deadlock in the Iowa legislature ended last week when Judge William S. Kenyon was elected to the United State Senate succeeding Senator Dolliver. Former Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, Ohio, died last week. Mr. Johnson was a great man and was loved not only by the people of Cleveland but by the nation as well. We note that Congressman Martin W. Littleton, of New York, has ac cepted an invitation to address the j North Carolina Bar Association at its annual meeting in June. This will be a real treat for our North Carolina lawyers and others who maybe present. Some few papers that claim to be democratic are having a great deal to say about the appearance of Mr. William J. Bryan in Washington when Congress convened. If these papers would turn their guns on the enemy the Republican party and fight as hard as they do against Mr. Brvan there would be a great deal better chance for the democratic party getting entire control ofthe national government. A continual warare in our own ranks will con tiriueHe republican psrty in power. Let us stop abusing Mr. Bryan Nand turn our guns on the enemy. We have voted for Mr. Bryan every time he has lead the ticket,, and while we may not think it just the thing to do. yet if he is nominated again we are going to vote for him again.- Away with this abuse of Mr. Bryan by certain newspapers and public men that are more republican than democrat if the real truth was known. Mr. Bryan had a right to visit Washington and mingle with the democratic Senators and Repre sentatives and he also has a right to express his opinion about public matters. WadfOrd's X Roads Items. Wadford's X Roads, Nash county, N. C, April 17. We are very sorry to note that little Ollie Minchew is on the sick list, we hope he will soon be well again. We are glad to say that Mrs. J. D. Edwards is improving. On yesterday morning Mr. J. L. Greene turned his team out in the rye patch to graze and his buggy horse strayed off and hasn't been seen or heard of since. We are all on a look out for her in hopes that she will soon be found. The Salem School closed Friday, April 14th, and the exercises were simply grand. Hon. T. T. Thorne made a good educational address which was followed by a song by class. And then a good time came, the dinner was spread. It was quite an enjoyable occasion. In the after noon the Salem boys had a double header ball game with Battleboro and Dorches. The score between Dorches and Salem was 13 to 1 in favor of Salem and with Battleboro 12 to 9 in favor of Salem. Mr. A. L. Dozier passed through this morning on his way to Rocky Mount. Miss Mamie Henry Price and Miss Pearl Daughtry, of Northampton county, is the guest of Mrs. T. C "Price this week. Some of our farmers are still hloding their cotton for 15 cents we hope they will get that price. Mr. J. R. Bennett, of Rocky Mount, spent a few hours with his brother, Mr. C. M. Bennett, last Sunday. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. Tha Kind You Have Always Bought . Bears the Signature of m. GilAS. P. TIILERY. Easier s! Halifax Much EBjsyad. Personal Kclcs. Halifax, N. C, April IS. The re-1 mains of Mr. Chas. P. Tiilery, who I died quite suddenly on last Friday j morning at his home near Tiilery, were laid to rest on Saturday after noon at half past two o'clock in the Episcopal cemetary near town, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. W. L. Britt, of Enfield. Mr. Tiilery the night before his death was apparently in fair health, though for several weeks he had been suffering real mucn with a sprained ankle resulting from a horse stepping on the foot. He only lived alout thirty minutes after the attack. Mr. Tiilery was widely known in Halifax county and in the State, was a very prominent and successful farmer and liked by many for his genial manner and many other good qualities. He was connected with some of the most prominent of Hal ifax county citizens. He is survived by two brothers, Messrs. Matt, and Lee Tiilery, who are very large and successful farm ers near Tiilery station; two sisters, Miss Annie, of Scotland Neck, and Mrs. Weeks, of Weldon; his widow, who was Miss Annie Ferrebee, and sister to Mrs. Jno. H. Fenner, of this place; two sons, Messrs. Lee and Junius Tiilery, and one daughter, Mrs. Jas. O. Applewhite, of Tiilery. Mr. Tiilery had reached the age of 66, and was well preserved for age, and the summons came all un expectedly to the loved ones, who were looking forward to many other ! days that they might shower loving ministrations and be a source- oj. comfort in his declining years. He served in the war between the North and South, was a prisoner for several months, being exchanged only a short while before Lee sur rendered. He had many bitter ex- p?riences duriug these trying days that tried men's souls as by fire and the extreme hardships that he with others had to endure, with scanty raiment and poor food, with even poorer accommodations for comfort, is just as the oft-told tale of thous ands of ether brave Southern sol diers, many of them now gone to the great beyond, where swords and ' other accessories of earthly combat have been laid aside, and who are now marching in the great army of which Jesus Christ is the command ing figure, singing as they march glad hosannas to the captain of their salvation. Upon the mound were placed by loving hands and iife long friends, many beautiful flowers, and as they turned away with saddened hearts and tear-dimmed eyes, the consoling thought came that some day there will be the meeting again. Easter here was quite enjoyable, there were some visitors in town, some of our own boys and girls who have been away, came home, and Monday there were quite a number who went pic-nicing, others went fishing and some played ball. Masters Marvin and Johnnie Jenk ins came down from Roanoke Rapids and spent Sunday and Monday. Miss Lucy Butts came down from Franklin and spent Easter with her people. Mrs. Joseph G. Butts, of Roanoke Rapids, visited Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Butts. ' Mrs. Wallace D. Patterson, cf Chapel Hill, came to see her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Fenner. Mrs. B. A. Mabry and daughter, Miss Margaret, of Norfolk, came last week to see her kinspeople. Misses Bell, of Scotland Neck, came up Saturday to visit Mrs. Nan nie Pepper, at Aurelian Springs. Mrs. C. M. Hamill, of Aurelian Springs, was here Satuaday on her way to Petersburg to visit relatives. Mrs. W. A. Willcox will leave the last of this week for Greensboro as a delegate to the Baraca-Philathea Convention, and will also take in the North Carolina State Sunday School Convention at High Point on her re turn trip home.

Saved Her Own Life. Tecumseh, Okla. "I believe," says Mrs. Eliza Epperson, of this place, "that if it hadn't been for Cardui I would have been dead to day. Before I began using Cardui, I suffered from pain3 in the head, shoulders, back, side,1- limbs and the lower part of my body. Cardui helped me more than anything, and I am now in better health, since taking it, than for four yearsv" Nobody can deny that the best tonic for a woman to take, is a tonic for women Cardui.

Tiilery is Dead. Tiilery, N. C, April 17. This was the sad news that was heard Friday morning when the citizens or this section awoke, and it was a shock they were not prepared to hear. Thursday afternoon he was well and in Tiilery talking with his host of friends and in his usual good humor. Friday morning he was taken suddenly sick and died in the arms of his devoted wife before help could be rendered. He leaves a wife, one daughter, two sons and two brothers to mourn his end. Great is the bereavement of this community. He will be missed by all. A friend to all and loved by all. He was of the old-sehool gentle men, that are so rapidly passing away. Modest, refined, truthful, and brave, and stood for what is right. He was a gallant soldier, be- j longing to Co. K., Uaibourn s Regi ment. On his return home he laid aside all prejudice and went to work j at his chosen profession, uiat ot farming, at which he success, always taking terest in the welfare of his county, j State and nation. j Ilis remains were laid to rest at Ialifax, in the cemetery there, by the side of his son, The -sympathy of the. en tire coun- y goes out to the bereaved ones.

The court is unanimous 111 ICO VlIiiWJlj w w J and that the poll tax must automat ically increase itself when the prop erty tax is increased. The opinion is written by Associate Justice Brown. I Tho vpvpnua act of 1911. chanter 40, Public Laws of 1611, increased the property tax from 43 to 45 cents on the $lC-5. But it left the poll tax at $1.2o when it should have been increased to $1.35 to maintain the proper equalization between the two. Suit was brought before Judge Daniels so as to get a decision on the matter. Judge Daniels held, ! in accordance with a former decision of the supreme court that the law was invalid. The matter was argu ed before the supreme court yester day and the decision as above 'hand ed down today. The decision is a complete reversal of the former opinion. The court holds that the constitution is mandatory as to the , i . , : ,1 1 i 1 ,1 ! poll tax, mat tne law siarius aim that the poll tax must be increased to $1.35 to moot the constitutional requirment.
