Published Every Thursday
BY
J. C. IIAUBY, EI:tor and Proprietor.
.Entered at the postofHce at Scotland
Neck, N. C, as Second-Class Matter.
Thursday, March 27, 1913.
Capt. O. II. Smith, the man who
designed the first Confederate Hag,
passed to his reward at his norne in
Henderson March 3rd.
Hon. Champ Clark will continue
as Speaker of the House and Oscar
W. Underwood chairman of the
Ways and Means committee.
We note that Lincoln county voted
a bond issue of $200,000 for good
roads one day last week. This was
their second effort to issue bonds.
President Wilson threw a bomb in
the camp of the office seekers when
he said he would not give them a
hearing, unless he sends for them.
His plan is to have each applicant
for effice file his application with the
department under which be will
work. This relieves the president
of a great deal of worry and annoy
anee and we don't blame him.
Senator John W. Kern, of Indiana,
has been chosen Senate leader in
place of Senator Martin, of Virginia.
Senator Clark, of Arkansas, was
elected president pro tempore, of
the Senate, defeating Senator Bacon,
of Georgia. This election created
quite a stir among Bacon's friends,
because it was thought that he
would have no oppositirn.
WTe doubt seriously if the ligisla
ture made sufficient provision to
meet the deficit in the State treasu
ry of nearly a million dollars. There
was a bill introduced for a reassess
ment of all property and Gov. Craig
sent a special message to the legisla
ture on this subject urging them to
take steps to meet the needs of the
treasury, bat they failed to meet
the needs. And now what is to be
done?
SciS3 Fine Bur Clove?.
Mr. Geo. R. Bennett, of Enfield,
demonstration agent for the eastern
end of Halifax county under th:
North Carolina depr. Lment of agri
culture, was here sr,: e rays ago and
was exhibiting a buiicii l bur clov
er which he obtained from the farm
of E. A. Liiloy, near Spring Hill.
Mr. Bennett said the clover was
seeded four years ago, and there
was an abundant growth yet on the
land. Upon the roots of the bunch
of clover Mr. Bennett was exhibit
ing there were numerous nodules
that contained nitrogen taken from
the air, and Mr. Bennett declared
that this abundant growth upon
Mr. Lilley's farm forever eliminated
any idea that clover and other vari
eties of slock food cannot be suc
cessfully raised in this section of the
State. ILe said besides this splendid
growth of bur clover upon Mr. Lil
ley's farm there are many acres of
the finest crimson clover he had
ever seen anywhere. Mr. Bennett
seemed to be greatly interested in
what he found on thissplended farm
and talked most interestingly to the
writer about the same.

Signature of
Fiftieth Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Joyner spent
their fiftieth anniversary pleasantly
together the 24th of March at his
father's old home place, which has
been owned by the Joyners over one
hundred years. They epokc several
times during the day of the weather
being so much like it was on the day
they were married fifty years ago.
They intended celebrating this occa
sion in high honor, but owing to the
feeble health of the bride the idea
was declined, and they only had with
them their five children, six grand
children, and a guest, Mrs. Marga
ret Strickland, one of their neigh
bors who was married the same
year.
They had a delicious dinner con
sisting, of barbecue, beaten biscuit,
breads, pickles, cakes, pies, gelatine
served with whipped cream, pastrys
of all kinds that were rolled with
their grandmother's rolling-pin.
They were the recipients of five
presents. lion. Claude Kitchin and
wife called and presented to the
bride a handsome cameo Jbrooch set
with pearls, to which she responded
beautifully. Miss Rosebud and Mas
ter Robert Coughenour gave the
bride a pretty ring with a garnet
set and chip diamonds, and to the
groom a gold dollar. Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. M. McNaughton, son-in-law
and daughter, a jar of gold, Mr. W.
L. Harrell, their nephew, fruit.
At the close of the day little Miss
Jennie Elizabeth Joyner McNaugh
ton announced her grandmother's
(the bride) seventieth birthday on
the 9th of April.
Sccilsad Neck 3; Tarbaro 2.
The Scotland Neck high school
opened up its ball season Monday af
ternoon by defeating Tarboro high
school by the close score of 3 to 2.
The playing was close from begin
ning to end, and at no time was
either side certain of victory. The
box work of both pitchers was very
good, each striking out 17 batters
and keeping the hits scattered.
The game was also a financial suc
cess and there will be more games
here in the near future.

Why Use L. & M. Semi
Mixed Real Paint.
Because it's economical. Because
it is pure White, Lead, Zinc, and
Linseed Oil. Because it's the high
est grade quality paint that mm be
made. Because when the user adds
3 quarts of Oil to each 1 gallon of
the Ii. & M. Semi-Mixed Real Paint,
it makes 1 gallons of pure paint at a
cost of about $1.40 per gallon. This
saves the user about 60 cents a gal
lon on all the paint used. The L. &
M. is and always has been the high
est grade and most perfect paint
produced.
