The Navy department has issued a statement which wiys tliat the battleship Maine was blown up from the outside and that a low form of explosives was used. In his message to Congress last week President Taf t makes a strong plea for a trust law but says very little about the tariff. Why was he silent on this important subject? Your uncle John D.

The Kinston Free Press in speak ing about building towns says: "Towns are apt to deplore the fact that they have few if any "rich mev.. The lack of wealthy men is not a drawback to a town. Towns are not built bv rich men. They are built bv men who have their fortun es to make a wtll as their bread and butU r to earn. It is when men o m.,l.n-:!e circumstances combine their savings and build up enterpri s??, meanwhile hustling for other savings, that a town grows and be comes strong." While at Kinston some days ago we had the pleasure of viewing the site for the school of the feeble minded, which will be located on a nice farm just out of the corporate limits of the town. Dr. Ira M. Hardy, of Washington, N. C, who has al ready been elected superintendent, told us that he would begin building in the early spring and hoped by the fall of 1912 to be ready to re ceive children at the school. The trustees have acted wisely in the se lection of Dr. Hardy as the first superintendent of this school and in locating it at Kir.ston. We expect to see this school do a good work for the feeble minded children of North Carolina. The work of caring for those unfortnnat'i children of our been sadly neglected, (ilenvln'A' Hen?.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured j with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they j cannot reach the seat ot the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional dis ease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Ca tarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous sur faces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this coun try for years and is a regular prescrip tion. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood -i.;f!ri-a nntinor flivw.tlv on the mucous surfaces.

C, Dec. 4. -The 12th month of 1911 is here and a large per cent of the crop is in the fields. Some of our good people are talking about killing hogs. Mr. S. S. Viverette attempted to cut down his cotton with a mowing machine but it -was a complete fail ure, he then tried pulling it up. We think he has abandoned the idea. What cotton that has not been racked out is in bad condition. There has been a lot of field peas entirely lost. Mr. J. J. Viverette came near los ing his residence last Saturday night by fire, a very ugly hole was burned through the roof. . It is talked that there will he rijiht much changing homes with the coming of the new year. Mr. J. C. Arrington, of North Emporia, was here Sunday. Mrs. T. T. Hale has just returned from a visit to Rocky Mount. We are glad Rev. J. W. Frank has returned .to the Baltleboro and Whitakers circuit. Rev. G. W.
