He soon became too warm, and going back to the house he suffered something like a sun-stroke. Mr. Anderson has been a very sick man since that time, though at the time of going to press his condition has slightly improved. We hope he may soon regain his health. The Revival Servtces. A OPrniOHT THE BOYAW TAILOJ Rev. J. A. Hornaday came down from Weldon Monday and since then has been preaching at the Methodist church in a series of meetings. The attendance has been interfeared with sohie on account of rain, but those who have attended enjoyed the preaching. Mr. Hornaday is a very strong preacher. Mr. Frank Fitzgerald, of New York, is leading the singing and di-' recting the music. Mr. Fitzgerald has a fine voice and he is using it to good effect. It is worth your time to hear the preaching and singing by these two ! Godly men. t . v The hours ot service nave Deen slightly changed from those an nounced last week. The day service is held in the morning for one hour beginning at 9:30 o'clock and the evening service begins at 8:00 o'clock. The first closing exercises of the Scotland Neck graded school since the new building was erected, took place Wednesday evening and Thurs day of last week. The building having never been dedicated it was thought proper to open the com mencement by presenting the build ing to the town. This plan was carried out to good effect. WEDNESDAY EVENING. The exercises Wednesday evening opened by the singing of a hymn, "Stand up for Jesus," led by a Special choir, composed of members of the various church choirs of the town. Rev. O. L. Powers, pastor of the Baptist church, then led in prayer. Next came the formal presentation ous one. He said that this com mencement was the centennial of the old Vine Hill Academy, for in 1812 this school of learning was es tablished. Mr. Smith closed his in troductory remarks with a very ap propriate reference to Governor Kitchin, saying that he is one of our own, that his record is clean and that he is a leader of education. Governor Kitchin arose to speak amid loud and prolonged applause. He first referred to this being his home town, saying that it had been nearly twenty-five years since he went away, but that he was always glad of an opportunity to get back. Governor Kitchin spoke for one hour and his speech was pronounced the very best and his home people are glad that he came and delivered just the message that he did. He spoke on the "Clearer View of the Every Day Things of Life." To prepare our children for the cor fiicts that make up life by giving them the very best education possi ble. He said that it is hard for a man to love to work, but that we ought to love to do the right thing when you don't want to do it. He closed by appealing to the young members of his audience to so live as . . ' .1S : K ;.iOf7TIM Kin.

Call on Hardy Hardware Company, Scotland Neck, N- C. of the building by Mr. Chas. L. Mc Dowell, chairman of the board of trustees. Mr. McDowell made a very appropriate speech and his friends were surprised to know that he was such a good speaker. He referred with feeling to the life work for the school of the late E. E. Hilliard, who served as chairman of the board from the establishment of the graded school to the day of his death. Mr. McDowell proposed that the school establish a library and that it be known as the E. E. Hil liard Librr.ry. Seated on the stage were the other members of the board of trustees as follows: Wilson Alls brook, G. Hoffman, J. A. Kitchin, Stuart Smith, E. T. Whitehead and A. L. Purrington. Mayor J. E. Shields, as the repre sentative of the town, accepted the building, and he, too, distinguished himself for the speech he made. Mr. Ashby Dunn, a former super intendent of the school, spoke for a few minutes. Among the good things he said was his appeal to the parents to, support the school and especially standing by the teachers in their work in the school room. Prof. C. W. Wilson, the other for mer superintendent, could not be present on account of prev'ous en gagements; His absence was re gretted. After several songs by the special choir. Rev. R. W. Anderson, rector cf Trinity church, read the Scripture lesson and then followed the commencement-dedication sermon by Rev. R. C. Beaman, of Durham, N. C. Dr. Beaman read the first verses of the 12th chapter of the book of Genesis and took as his subject, "Abraham the Great. Altar Builder." Dr. Beaman entered at once into the discussion of his subject, and for one hour he held the attention of the large audience. He spoke of Abra ham as the altar builder saying that he scored no theories; also of God's promise to be with him through all life. He said that any theory of life that leaves God out is an inevit able hell. He spoke at length on the home life and referred with stress to the way our home life, business life and everything else is carried on to-day. That the reason there are so many disasters, fail ures, etc., is because God has been left out almost entirely. He closed his discourse by referring to life as a service. At the close of the sermon Rev. N. C. Yearby, pastor of the Method odist church, led in prayer. Superintendent Aiken publicly ex oareiy ueposic ooxes FOR RENT!
