HARDY, Editor and Proprietor. .Entered at the postoffice at Scotland Neck, N. C, as Second-Class Matter. Thursday, June (, 1012. The New York World is pupport ing Wilson for president. The North Carolina Tress Associa tion moets at Morehead City July 23. It is boss ag-ainst boss between Taf t and Roosevelt. Which will win the nomination? We have seen it stated that the government s soon to coin three cent and half-cent pieces. The town needs a street sprinkler. It would be a good investment for the town authorities to buy one. Col. Roosevelt on the Republican side and Governow Wilson on the Demecratic side made clean sweeps in the New Jersey primaries last week. Major J. C. Hemphill has resigned his position as editor of the Char lotte Observer and will go with the New York Times. His coing away is regretted very much. At the first Congressional district convention held at Elizabeth City Thursday the present Congressman, Hon. John H. Small, was renomina ted, and our former townsman, Mr. Albion Dunn, of Greenville, was named as presidential elector. On the subject of good roads the Henderson Gold Leaf hands out the following: "It is almost impossible to enu merate all the advantages of good roads. Every now and then a new and very decided cne crops out. The Franklinton correspondent of the Franklin Times tells us that when the horses are all badly needed in the crops a hand can be sent to mill with a wheelbarrow, easily carrying three bushels of grain over the splen did roads of that section. A thou sand and one other minor advantages of good roads could 1)9 mentioned, not to say anything of the greater ones that are plainly apparent to everybody." Superior Court. The June term of Halifax Superi or Court convened Monday, with Judge E. B. Cline, presiding'. The following names were drawn as grand jurors, for the term: E. L. Garlich. J. L. Johnson, Froelich, M. Shield?, W. H. Jackson, Richard W. Parker, J. G. Powell, W. II. Wilcox, J. Hale, J. G. Lee, Augustue Neville, M. L. Morris, W. C. Allsbrook, J. H. Applewhite, E. A. .WsMnn, L. Y Taylor, Arthur McDaniel, S. B. Kitchin. E. G. Garlich was appoint ed foreman. J. E. Daniel was .'sworn as officer to the grand jury. Judge Cline did not enter into a lengthy charge, saymg that he did not. think it necessary. He express ed himself very favorably pleased with our people and the people throughout eastern North Carolina. The grand jury in the case of State vs. Tom Hawkins charged with killing Henry Cotten in Scotland Neck some weeks ago, found a true bill charging him with murder in the first degree. This case will be tried at the August term of court. Owing to the busy season with the farmers and the fact that most of the lawyers desired to attend the Democratic State convention only the jail cases were tried and court adourned Tuesday. A. I. L. Attorney Dies in Norfolk. Rocky Mount, June 3 Telegram bearing the sad intelligence of the death of Frank L. Pippin, which oc curred last night in St. Vincent's hospital in Norfolk, were received by his friends in this city today. Mr. Pippin was in Norfolk last week on duties attendant to his position of special attorney for the Atlantic Coast Line. He was taken sick in a Norfolk Hotel Wednesday and it was at first thought that it was simply a slight indisposition. However, seri ous complications set in later in the day and he was removed to the hos pital named and relatives were tele craphed for and arrived at his bed side Friday morning. The remains will be taken to Enfield for burial. The deceased is survived by a wife and one daughter, Mrs. R. C. Dunn, of Enfield. He was 53 years old. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.

Wi irten fur The Cor,-. mon ea! th. The closing exercises of thG Mullen High School were held last Friday in the beautiful grove at Mullen's Cross Roads where the school is lo cated. Ti.e exercises were moit interesting, and the patrons arid friends of the school came cut in great numbers to witness them. Miss Fannie Sharpe Joyncr, the popular, capable, and most efficient j teacher bad arranged and prepared j a most splendied and cniertninins program, and in the beautifully do , orated hall, the decorations consist-! inj of hot house plants, cummer ! flowers, and a lovely and graceful I festoon of long leaf pine, the indi vidual numbers were rendered in a manner that bespoke credit both for pupils and teacher. There were song-', recitations, and declamations, but the most interest ing feature of all was when Master Robert Joyner, a youth of four or five summers, in appropriate words, without embarrassment or hesita tion, introduced the speaker for the occasion, Mr. Ashby Dunn. Mr. Dunn expressed his delight at coming to Mullen's once again say-j ing that he had never refused an in- ' vitation to come, and always he had I gone home, ft! ad that he had attend-! ed the exercises. He hud not pre-j pared a set speech for the occasion, ! but his address had the rapt atten- j tion of all present, and was most ; helpful. lie inspired the patrons of ; the school with new enthushism, a deeper ir.tcrc: t in rdl educational en- j deavois, and commented upon the: ! fact that there were so many patron-. ! of the tchonl in attendance. He ! congratulated them for their inter-: est, which their coming together Le-' spoe, and h? j.- ol-e; ert things for the peonle of Mullen's, I saying that people who were so en- ! thusiastic, so interested in their school, and so concerned for its sue-1 cess and progress would necessarily j haw 1hf Vin-sf- lVi:n.-.-j il- loslir ! tL- , ,i 4U: , 4i i. . passed the three-score vears and ten things, toe things that count most, i ., , ... , " , ... j., , , j. , . i mile-post on life s hiehwav.

After the exercises were ended, a beautiful repast was served, consist-! ing of chicken, olives, p'ckles, barbe cue, cake and other delicacies. After dinner, games were indulged in until lengthening shadows gave warning that it was time to turn our faces homeward. The day was an enjoyable one, and the occasion most pleasing and successful. Miss Joyner received the hearty congratulations and the grateful thanks of all present for the interesting, helpful, and inspiring exercises, and every other feature of the joyous occasion.

Her death was caused by a bead disease, which rapidly grew worse and worse.

Draper's Cross Roads, June We are havinc some ideal weather for farm work just now and our farmer friends are doing: all in their power. They are greatly behind in tie -vork. Most crops are looking very wciif except cotton and that is ?niai ant re(. yu0 v.-hPat cron will be short in this section. Honey taking time is here and we regret to say that very few people are trying to keep bees. If sli good people would take an interest in bee keeping as they do in cotton, pea nuts, and tobacco raising, we are sure they would realize just as much profit in return for their time and labor, and find it just as pleasant. In fact it requires some preparation to handle bees, but once ready, bees can be managed with just as much ease as any thing else, and everyone likes to have honey in the house aside from regular table use it ic good as a medicine in many instan ce?, and one ean adw.ys find a ready sale for any surplus amount one may have on hand.
