THE TOMMO JIWEALTH.
Published Every Thursday
BY
J. C. JIAI?IY, Editor anil Proprietor.
Entered at the post-office at Scotland
Neck, N. C, aa Second-Class Matter.
Thursday, June 27, 191!
Taft and Roosevelt were both
nomimated, one by the regulars and
the other by the irregulars.
If the Democrats are wise in their
selection of a caneidate at Baltimore
this week why success is assured the
nominee.
The electoral college this year will
have 490 votes, therefore it will take
246 votes to elect a president. North
Carolina has 12 votes.
Former Congressman Richmond
Pearson will have charge of the or
ganization of the new Roosevelt par
ty in North Carolina.
Evelyn Thaw cornes to the front
again and says she is opposed to her
husband beine: given his freedom
for the reason that she is afraid of
him.
The next session of the North
Carolina Good Roads Association will
meet in Charlotte the first of August.
We hope Halifax county will send a
good large delegation to the meeting.
All the North Carolina Congress
men have been renominated. Only
one had opposition, that one being
Congressman Godwin, of the sixth
districr, who was opposed by N. A.
Sinclair.
The Senatorial fight in South Car
olina has opened in earnest. Sena
tor Ben Tillman is being opposed for
re-election by N. B. Dail and V.
Jasper Talbert. Tillman is in poor
health, but he is going to 1? hard to
defeat.
The Henderson Gold Leaf speaks
a truth when it says:
"The reason why so many business
men are not exaetlyjsure that adver
tising pays, may be because they ne
ver do enough of it to make a fail
test. Against their doubts is pitted
the successful experience in adver
tising of the best business men in
the world who have thoroughly tried
it out and no longer have doubts on
the subject. To succeed in this day
and time it is necessary to herewith
a pretty good sized auger."
A LESSON FOR BOYS.
The following from the Spartan
burg Journal is copied with the hope
that it may be of some benefit to
our boys who are just home from
college:
"Several days ago The Journal had
a suggestion to boys and their par
ents as to work during the long va
cation. Dawdling around slot ma
chines and tobacco stands for three
months will offset all the good les
sons they learned at school. Doing
nothing is only a little above a vi
cious life. It is not the money boys
make, but the habit of work which
is valuable. Of course boys whose
fathers have means can get places.
Their fathers can find or make them.
But it is the poorer boys who need
the work and the work helps them.
Give them a lift if you can. They
have the making of men in them.
For twelve years Wendell Sooy, a
newsboy, stood at the entrance to
Fairmount Park in Philadelphia.
Through all sorts of weather he was
there for business. He saved all. the
coins he could spare from his scanty
requirements for food and clothing.
Selling papers day after day was only
incidental to his higher aim. He
wanted to go to college and never
for a moment did he lose sight of
that purpose. He expects to begin
his college education at the fall term
of the m University, of Pennsylvania.
In the twelve years he has accumu
lated $2,600, which he thinks will be
enough to give him a four years'
course. Such a boy as that will be
worth much more to the country
than a classmate who ha.g money to
spend for the gratification of all his
wants. Look out for those poor
boys who work with a high aim.
Give them a chance. They will make
men worth something."

$10,003 GIFT TO ORPHANAGE.
Hps. K. J. Jackson, ci Kinsfon, Donates
Sp'rnLid Farm.
Mrs. M. J. Jr.ckson, one of the
best-known women in Kinston, has
donated to the North Carolina Meth
odist Orphanage at Raleigh, a farm
in Greene county, 'containing 278
acres, ?nd said to be worth ?10,000.
The details of the transfer have al
ready .been made. The Kinston
Frtv? Press contains the following
with regard to the donor and gift:
"The Methodist Orphanage at Ral
eigh is the beneficiary of a gift made
to-day by Mrs. M. J. Jackson, one of
Kinston's best-known citizens. Mrs.
Jackson has conveyed her Greene
county farm to Messrs. H. H. Grain
ger and Y. T. Ormond in trust, the
farm to be sold by the 15th of No
vember next, and the proceeds to be
turned over to the trustees of the
Methodist Orphanage. The farm is
thought to be- worth $10,0C0.
"The money thus realized is to be
spent in the erection on the Orphan
age grounds of a dormitory for girls.
This will meet an acute want now
felt at the Orphanage. The trustees
need a girls' building to meet a de
mand such as is filled by the boys'
dormitory already erected.
"The farm wh'c'i Mrs. Jackson
has given to the Orphanage consists
of 273 acres of the most valuable
land in Greene county. It is situ
ated a half mile from Hookerton,
and four miles from Glenfield, on
the Kinston-Snow Kill railroad. It
is on the public road leading to
Kinston and off into the Fields sec
tion, and. as noted, within easy
reaoh of two railroads the East
Carolina road at Hookerton and the
Kinston-Snow Hill road. Fuiiy one
hundred acres of the farm consists
of woodland never cut over. It con
tains much valuable timber. The
farm is especially well adapted to
the culture of tobacco, though cot
ton, corn, etc., are grown with great
success.
"The gift has been accepted by the
Orphanage trustees, and the proper
technieal arrangements were made
Wednesday afternoon in this city at
a conference between Mrs. Jackson,
the donor, the trustees for the dona
tion, Messrs. Grainger and Ormond,
Supt. J. N. Cole, of the Orphange,
and Judge William R. Ailen, a mem
ber of the board of trustees of the
Orphanage." Raleigh Times.

Oiiicers and Adjourn.
Raleigh, June 20. The North Car
lina Merchants Association, after
selecting Wilmington as the next
place of meeting and electing officers,

highest with Salisbury third. The
selection was made unanimous?.

Caledonia Farm, June 25. The
friends of Captain and Mrs. C. N.
Christian will regret to learn of
the death of their infant daughter,
Mary Lewis, which occurred at their
home, on Caledonia Farm, Saturday
morning, June 22, at 12:30 o'clock.
Born May 2G, 1912.
Dr. F. M. Register, the family
physician, with all bis medical skill,
failed to stem the tide of the disease,
arid the little one passed into the
great ieyond at the time mentioned.
Throughout her short little life
she was guarded with a mother's
and father's tender care, but her
feeble little form was unable to bat
tle with the ravagesof disease.
The remains were taken to Mocks
vi'le Saturday, accompanied by Cap
tain Christian and son, Cephas, where
they were interred in the beautiful
Rose Cemetery, where they sleep
beside the tomb of her sainted
grandmother.
Death with his sickle keen, reaped
this flower, transplanting it in the
Garden of P&radice, sheltered and
guared with His care. The gentle
and pure soul of this child of the
Covenant, went forth as peacefully
into the great beyond, an if she had
but f.-d!en asleep upon the bosom of
her loving Jesus. Her parents are
left with sore hearts, and their eyes
are bathed in tears.
Your eyes are dimmed with weeping
For your darling who is gone,
But she'll greet you in youthful
beauty
When a few short years have flown.

REMEMBER YOUR LAST DOSE
OF CALOMEL.
You Trobably Recall the After-Effects
of the Calomel More Than
You Do the Sickness You
Took It for.
You don't have to go through this
again.
Next time your liver gets sluggish
and inactive, we suggest that you go
to E. T. Whitehead Go's., drugstore
for a bottle of Dodson's Liver-Tone,
a vegetable liquid that will start
your liver as surely as calomel ever
did and with none of the after-effects
of calomel. It is absolutely harm
less bth to children and adults and
demands no restriction of habit or
diet.
E. T. Whitehead Co., guarantees
Dodson's Liver-Tone to take the
place of calomel, and will refund
your money if it fails in your case.
Enjoyable Picnic at Spring Oil!.
Reported to The Commonwealth.
A few days ago, a most enjoyable
pic-nic was given at "Lake Lilley"
by Mr. F. A. Lilley, a prominent
young farmer of Spring Hill, com
plimentary to Miss Erma Shields,
the popular school teacher, who dur
ing the past season has made a host
of friends around this frisky little
village. There were . about twenty
couples present, who drove over
from Spring Hill in buggies and au
tomobiles. The happy-go-lucky pic-nicers
abandoned the lake about 8 o'clock
in the evening and returned to the
Roy Pope auditorium, where they
trod the light fantastic until the "we
sma' hours." Many difty figures
were led by Mr. S. B. Kitchin, Jr.,
dancing with Miss Louise Darden,
both of Scotland Neck. The leaders
were ably assisted by Mr. Roy Pope
and Miss Daisy Hinlock, of Franklin,
Ky. Music was furnished by the
Sook Jones Symphony Orchestra, of
Scotland Neck.
The chaperones were Mrs. T. II.
Riddick, Mrs. P. T. Darden and Mrs.
J. Archie Sloane.
