Entered at tli po.tofiice at Scotland

Thursday, October 19,1911.
Hon. Locke Crais, of Asheville,
lias announced his co.ndidacy for the
p-ubernatorial nomination next year.
The lawyers for Henry Clay Beat
tie are making an effort to have the
verdict of the jury convicting him
of murdering his wife, set aside for
the reason that the jury began their
deliberations with prayer. Suppose
they had rendered a verdict in favor
of the accused by acquitting him of
the charge of murder, it is likely he
would have expressed himself very
strongly as a great believer in prayer.
We clip the following from an ex
change, which is truthfully said:
"When you pull down the town in
which is your home, youiare pulling
down yourself; and -when you build
up you are building up yourself and
neighbor. Try to banish from your
mind the mistaken idea tnat all good
things are away off in some other
locality. Give your town all the
praise it can legitimately bear. It
certainly will do you no harm and
will cost you nothing; and above all
patronize your home institutions, in
cluding the printing office.
The law under
roaus eiecuun is ukiiw
which the good
lied provides that
in the event the requisite majority
of qualified electors shall vote "For
Good Roads" at the said election
and the result shall be recorded and
declared for good roads, the board
of commissioners shall elect seven
electors, residents of said county, to
beknowrn as the "Highway Commis
sion of Halifax County," whose
term of office shall be two years.
The law also provides that the high
way commission shall elect a general
road superintendent for the county.
The election is to be held under the
law governing all general elections.
It is now just a little over three
weeks to the good roads bond elec
tion, and yet we have not heard the
matter discussed in the least. Are
the county commissioners and good
roads association of the county going
to let the matter go by without
arousing the people on the subject?
Let the people know just how it is
proposed to spend the money, need
and the benefits of improved roads.
Draw out a full discussion on the
subject that the voters may be able
to cast their ballots in an intelligent
manner. Wake up, and get to work,
everybody. The Commonwealth in
vites a free discussion on the subject
of good roads and the bond issue,
and our columns are open to give
the matter as much publicity as possible.
Glenview, N. C, Oct. 16. Our
farmer friends ate still pushing to
get their cotton out.
The peanut crop is o'l up, but. they
are scarce on the viae. The cro;i
will be short.
Ali of our people are out of ports
over the low price of cotton.
Rev. J. W. Frank filled his regular
appointment at Central Cross last
Sunday. Sunday School was re-organized,
Mr. J. H. Hux was appoint
ed superintendent. We certainly
hope that the Sunday school may be
a success this time.
Mr. T. T. Hale has recently bought
the entire farm and store of Mr. S.
S. Viverette at the Glenview seat.
Some of our people attended the
Baptist association that met with
the church at Washington, N. C ,
and report a good time.
The Swift Creek Union will meet
with the church at Antioch the fiflh
Sundav in this month.
Mr. E. G. Hale, of Sharpsburg,
is here to see her son, Mr. T. T. Hale.
Mr. T. T. Hale went to Richmond
last week to buy a lot of fall and
winter goods for his new store here.
Mr. J. E. Ayers, Jr., has just
started his new cotton gin. This
makes four cotton gins for our town.
The cool nights reminds us that
frost is not far off.

Wake Forest, N. C, Oct. 17. Cn
Saturday, Oct. 14ih, Wake Forest
played its third game of foot ball
upon the home gridiron. Of the 3
games played Wake Forest has lost
one, this to Carolina on Saturday,
Oct. 7th. With this beginning foot
ball will reach a standard and per
centage that has never been achiev
ed before in the history of the col
lege. The t Saturday result
ed in the ignomenious defeat of the
spirited team from Roanoke College,
Va. From the kick off it was evi
dent that the visitors would not
have a look in. Touchdowns were
made at intervals of 5 and 10 min
utes, the first coming within three
minutes after the ball was put in
play, which was due to a skillf ul and
spectular forward pass and a 15 yd
gain by Utley through center. At
no stage of the game was Roanoke
looked upon as dangerous. Several
beautiful end runs, varying from 15
to 40 yds, were made by Singleterry
for Wake Foi'est.
During the entire game many
beautiful forward passes were ad
ministered by Utley and Joyner.
The line all showed up in fine form,
opening up holes whenever needed.
It would be hard to designate
any one as a particular star, though
it was pretty well agreed upon that
the honors belong to Singleterry for
Wake Forest, ' he making three of
the nine touchdowns himself. Sav
age showed splendid form in plow
ing the line for material gains.
Utley kicked 6 out of the 9 chances
for gold thereby ending game by
score 53 to 0 in favor of Wake Forest.
Next Saturday the Wake Forest
team goes up against the strong
"husky bunch" from Washington
and Lee.

Georue Barr Mclutcfceon's 'Beverly."
Fashion is a funny thing and the
way in which styles are originated,
especially in articles of feminine at
tire, sometimes occur in a very
unique way. Although George Barr
McCutcheon's "Beverly" has been
published for several years, and al
though there appeared on the cover
of the book Harrison Fisher's con
ception of the idea! "Beverly" garb
ed in a most ravishing hat and veil,
it was not until the novel was dram
atized and put on the stage last
spring that the "Beverly Hat" be
came one of fashion's crazes. Now
in every city of the country where
"Beverly" has appeared the women
have gone crazy over the beauties
of the "Beverly Hat" and it is be
ing copied far and wide. At the
opera house, Tuesday night, Octo
ber 24th.

We are glad to announce that

ready to begin ginning and to give
better and quicker service than ever
before.
Charges for ginning will be 10c

Bagging and ties furnished at lowrest
market price.
As we buy in car load lots we can
probably furnish bagging and ties
cheaper than is sold elsewhere, and
we earnestly request that you allow
us to furnish same to prevent con
fusion. Furnishing of bagging and ties by
customers makes so much trouble
for us that we will hereafter charge
25c per bale additional.
Cotton buyers have been instruct
ed to advise all ginneries that thei
may not buy bales with side-strips,
so unless previously notified by cus
tomer bales will be pacKed without

"The year's opening entertain
ment at Fassifern school was a piano
recital by Miss Rebecca Hill Shields
of the faculty. This was Mis Shields'
first public appearance in Lincoln
ton and her work was a most success
ful introduction as a pianist. In the
first movement of the "Moonlight"
Sonate by Beethoven, the player
seemed to have caught the soirit
and effect of the perfect moonlight, '
calm, soft and of mysterious beauty.
The Allegretto brought a brighter
happier mood which changed, with
the third movement to one of heavy,
depresfing agitation, showing much
musicianly understanding and pian
istic ability. Wagner's beautiful
melody "To the Evening Star" with
its harp-like accompaniment, arrang
ed for the piano by Hiszt, together
with Raff's "Spinning Song" with
its humming wheel, gave Miss
Shields fine opportunity to use her
lovely singing tone. The Chopin
numbers, Military Polonaise and
Bercuese were effectively and well
given, affording the great contrast
of heavy chords and delicate, rapid
scale work. The most brilliant num
ber on the program and the one
which is ever a test of a pianist's
ability was Mendelsshn's Capriccio,
opus 22. Its constantly returning
attractive theme and stirring rhythm
working up to a great climax, were
splendidly given and made a fitting
close to a delightful evening. Miss
Shields' playing and pleasing per
sonality made many friends for her."
