BUILD IRON BRIDGES.
An important matter will come
In-fore our County Commissioners
soon. They will be asked to ap
jtropriate money to rebuild the
two Neuse river bridges swept
away by the recent freshet. We
hope they may see their way
< car to rebuild these bridges at
'once and that contracts may be
given out for iron bridges.
in all public work we should
nut consider cheapness too much,
but should keep in mind the idea
of permanency. Do work that
stand, build bridges that will
-toy. They will cost more now,
but are cheaper, all things con
sidered. A wood bridge 111113'
stav five or six years, or it may
wash away in live or six months.

use its influence along this line.
President McKinley lias settled
the three term talk by writing a
letter saving he would not accept
another nomination if offered
liirn. Xow the aspirations of tile
other would-be candidates will
have room to soar.
A year ago Great Britain de
elared that the war in South
Africa was about over. Another
year of fighting, of deaths and
disease, of saddened homes in
both countries, of costly expendi
tures has passed and the end is
not yet. The war began in Oc
tober, 181)1), and since that time
JO,000 men have lost their lives.
Jt has been a costly war on both
sides and will eventually end in
the complete destruction of the
Boers. It is a sad tale of the
annihilation of a happy and sim
ple people whose liberties and
homes have been destroyed for ?
t he greed of gold.
Benjamin Adams, a member of

fore .lustice Kellogg and a jury,
( barged with violating the law
by playing golf on Sunday. The 1
jury returned a verdict of not '
guilty and recommended that '
the Sunday law be repealed so
that the citizens might enjoy i
themselves on Sunday without 1
fear of being hauled up beforethe
mayor's court. The observance '
of the Sabbath is very slack in ,

Kenly Academy.
The commencement exercises of
Kenlv Academy have been going
on this week. Wednesday was
the principal day and a very
large crowd was in attendance.
The exercises of the students;
were all of a high order. At 11:80
l'rof. .1. 15.1'arl vle, of Wake For
est College, spoke on Education.
He urged the importance of edu
cation for all the people that
they might be fully prepared to
meet the great issues that are
constantly coming before us. He
plead for that kind of education
that would better prepare for
work and the various conditions
of life.
Two of the medals given at
this commencement were present
ed to the successful ones by l'rof.
Joseph Kinse.v, of Wilson, and
Mr W. A. Hdgerton, of Kenly.
15oth made short but pleasing
speeches. A full account of all
the exercises will appear in next
week's Hkrai.d. hvcrycitizen of
Johnston county should be
proud of the good work done by
Kenly Academy.
Local Baseball News.
Smithfield, like all up-to-date
towns, is beginning to wake up
and realize the fact that there is
as much real sport in baseball as
in any other outdoor game, if
not a little more. If you could
have seen the crowd that went
from here to Dunn last Thursday
to witness the game between the
Smithtield and Dunn teams, you
would have thought so too.
mm. . i : . r ?
i in1 milliliter iimi ms lurce in
now at work cleaning oft and fix
ing up tiu> diamond, and hope to
have the same in good shape at
an early date. What is most
needed at the ball grounds is a
stand so the spectators can be
seated instead of having to stand,
and it is the intention of theman
agement to have one built. It
may not be built this year, as
the season is too far gone, but it
will be built before another season
opens.
One of the friends of the team
has promised to give enough
lumber to erect a backstop. If
others would follow up his exam
ple, the stand could be built this
season and in time for the next
game. Who will be the first to
volunteer?
The manager of the home team
is in receipt of a letter from man
ager J. II. Herbert, of the Kin
ston team, asking for a series of
games with the Ssinithfleld team
on the Kinston diamond. Ithas
not been decided as yet that the
team can go, but it is thought
that the invitation will lie accept
ed,and games arranged for during
the next week.
The Suathlieldand Dunn teams
expect to play a game on the
home diamond 011 next Thurs
day, though manager Wilson
could not say positively that his
team would be able to play on
that day. At any rate, thegame
will be arranged at an early date.
The people of Smithfield are look
ing forward to the game between
the home team and the Dunn
team with pleasant anticipations
and stand ready to return the
hospitable treatment which was
accorded them and the team
while at Dunn.
Come up boys and we will give
you another interesting game
and a good time.

catching voting chickns? What
they do with the chickens is not
known, but all this spring crows
have tieen darting down in Mr.

carrying off young chickens.
They are beating the hawks at
the hawks' own game, tea to
