Massey vis ited relatives here Sunday ring. Princeton Princeton. Oct. 21.—Another one of those automobile accidents which teem almost incredible happened Friday evening when Dr. A. G. Woodard was driving his big car from Goldsboro to Princeton. When about one mile from town the car ran over one of those large size railroad • pikes about three-fourths of an inch square and five and one-half long. This iron spike went entirely through the big heavy tire, going straight into the cen ter of the tread and passing out against the rim. This seems an al most impossible thing to happen considering that the spike could not be in any but a flat position on the hard surface highway. Mr. Frank Marlow died sudden ly at his home here Friday night. He had worked all day and was apparently in good health. lie was about 65 years of age. The meeting closed at the Bap tist church Sunday. Rev. S. L. Naff did the preaching. There were five persons added to the church as a result of the meeting. Mr. Naff proved himself to be an unusually good speaker. Born to Mr. and Mrs. S. Hewitt, a boy. Mother and baby are get ting along nicely. The baby of Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam Massengill has been serious ly sick for the last several days The many friends and relatives hope and trust that the baby will soon be well again. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. A. Massey have moved to Greenville which place they expect to make their future home. Hon. E. W. Pou and the candi dates for state and county offices were in Princeton Tuesday night, speaking in the school auditorium, and while the attendance was not as large as it was desired, there was tan excellent representation from the township. We regret very much that every Democratic man and woman in Boon Hill township was not present to hear Mr. Pou. 'Inis meeting did not seem like the u ual political speaking, but more than this it was an earnest appeal to the Democrats of Boon Hill township to arouse tehmselves and come to the polls on November *2 and vote. The older men in the audience notice very clearly that the hand of time is laying- very heavily upon their beloved Ed>v W. Pou. but they are trusting that the Poid may grant his servant many year.-- of usefulness yet before he is called to his last reward. Mr. W. M. Pettway, from Kin ston, was a visitor in town on Sun day. * Mr. C. P. Hinshaw and C. S. Holt, students at State University, were visitors in this section Sun day.

E‘KfteEis©ira Department Mrs. I). J. Thurston* County Supt. JOHNSTON COUNTY JAIL It may be of interest to our peo ple to learn that our jail has at present one of the highest rating in the state, notwithstanding the added difficulty of having both sexes incarcerated in large num ber^ and federal prisoners most of the time. The Jailor and Welfare officer have been cooperating for some months to perfect the discip line, rightly regulate the company, censor the mail, and furnish good literature to the inmates. The Health Officer who has oversight of the physical condition of all the prisoners is largely responsi ble for the high sanitary ratings and the culinary helps from the Home Demonstration Agent have been studied by the women, and a higher grade, more wholesome food preparation has resulted. And the spiritual atmosphere (of para mount importance) is looked aft er by the local pastors—and oth ers interested in evangelization, and hardly a Sabbath passes with out services for the prisoners. The Christian women the county over have generously responded to an appeal from the Welfare Depart ment for Bibles, pocket editions of Testaments, and Gospels, and the different Christian organiza tions in Smithfield keep hymn b&oks, and sacred literature always ready for disposition to newcomers in the jail, camps and county home. There have been some very impressive services held, and con versions have followed—many of which he hope are genuine. If the men and women who go from jail could become redeemed souls, and sca/ttor as they do throughout the county—what would it mean to the upbuilding of our commonwealth? Who say? borne reports have beer, started by negroes (of disorderly conduct in the jail) ttyese reports havo been thrashed out by the Welfare Officer and found to be false and entirely lacking in foundation, The Sheriff and Chairman of the County Commissioners frequent the jail as do other officers, and no trace of bad conduct on the part of the man to whose care the jail is entrusted can be proved. He joins the Welfare Officer in invit ing any constructive criticism that ■will be helpful in raising the moral standards. Clinic l Ur Cripples Held In Dunn. On Saturday, October 30th there will be a clinic for crippled' chil dren held in Dunn This clinic, as usual, will be under the direction of this department and the Ortho paedic Hospital.

The clinic will be held in the old hospital at Dunn and lunch will be served by the Wom an's Club. Center Ridge Kenly, Route 2.

When we walked into the kitch en she began to tell us ‘how she hated lor us to find her house all cli 1 ty, hut we did not listen at her, we just told her to make room on the stove for us to fry several pounds of fish we had brought along so they would be nice and warm for dinner. She did as we told her, and soon we had a real large dish of the nicest browned fish ready for the table. About eleven-thirty o’clock all the children had arrived, and soon we hau a table the men had ar ranged previously in the spacious yard, loaded with all the good things imaginable to eat. Mr. W. B. Joyner returned thanks, after which we began to partake of the good things set before us. After a half-hour had passed several were still eating. The writer was one. but who could blame a fellow for eating when there was just plenty of the most choice things edible? After dinner the remainder of the afternoon was spent in conver sion, ca'.ing ice cream and drink ing lemonade. Late in the after noon the chilren began to depart for their different places of abode, declaring they had never spent a more enjoyable day.

CORONER FINDS DRIVER HAD TAKEN ONLY FOUR LES SONS BEFORE HITTING CAR. —Connecticut paper. Fanner Friend?, Do You Waul Better Prices YOU will occasionally hear about Mr. So-andSo getting 60c or 80c or maybe a Doilar a pound on some Tobacco market, but don't let those figures misled YOU. We are not promising you unreas onable prices for just a few pounds of tobacco to make a big show, but we are offering ou Better Prices all around for your Tobacco. More cf your Neighbors are selling on the Duruani Market and they vouch for the fact that they get Better Prices and Better Service. Durham offers you the top prices for every pound of your tobacco and every grade of it There are good sensible reasons why you can Get Better Prices. We have given you some of these reasons from time to time, but wc haven’t room for them here. However, this is the best proof: Sell your next load in DURHAM and convince yourself PUBLIC SPEAKINGS > he Democratic candidates will be at the following dates and places to discuss the county political issues.
