Interested in Roads
A large delegation of citizens
representing the progressive spir
it of our sister town, motored here
from Washington Thursday to ex
amine our good roads. The party
was in real earnest about the
road condition in Beaufort County
and are endeavoring to do some
thing to Jmprove their system;
as is always the case in every
movement for good they have
ignorance and prejudice to over
come, and.they are trying to make
no mistake by beginning right.
(But you had better start wrong
than not at all, Brethren).
Martin County people feel much
interest in the roads of Beaufort
as we do an immense amdunt of
trade with her people, and we
wish them every success in their
movement.
The party was composed ofthe
following gentlemen principally
from Washington, who are will
ing to share the burden of road
building with their farmer
friends:
Frank H. Rollins, M. T. Archi

In the Good Old Days
The world is growing better.
The student who famialiarizes
himself with the past, comparing
political and social conditions of
early times with those of the pre
sent day must admit this state
ment is true. "In the good old
days," if analyzed means the
youth of the one that makes the
statement. In youth the imag
ination is more vivid and the
knowledge of the wicked ways
of mankind is limited. But as
the youth grows to manhood he
becomes more practical and less
imaginative. He knows more
about the faults of mankind and
easily mistakes his increased
knowledge for decreased moral
standards. The following extract
taken from a law passed by the
British Psrhament in is an
interesting revelation of condi
tions in the "good old times "
"All women, of whatever age,
rank, profession or degree, wheth
er virgins, maids, or widows,
that shall, from and the pas
sage of this Act. impose upon and
betray into matrinony any of his
Majesty's male subject, by scents,
paints' cosmetics, washes, artifi
cal teeth, false hair, Spanish wool,
siays, hoops, high-heeled
shoes or bolstered hips, shall in
cur the penalty of the laws now
in force against witchcraft, sor
cery, and such like
and that the marriage, upon con
viction, shall stand null and viod."

WILLIAMSTON, N. C., FRIDAY, JULY tB. 1913
In Menoriam
John S. Brown, better known
as "Jack," was the son of John
Thomas and Martha E. Brown
and was born on December 11th,
1877, near Robersonville, and
died in Norfolk, Va., in St Vin
cents Hospital after an operation
for appendicitis, on the 9th of
July, 1913. He had been troub
bled with his disease in the
Spring, but partically recovered,
and hoped he would be free from
it artd regain his ordinary health;
but after awhile it came back,
and he went to the hospital, hop
ing to remain only a short while
and return well and strong, but
in this he and his friends were
disappointed.
He was a man of few words
and very quiet disposition. He
was kind and obliging and thor
oughly honest in his dealings
with his fellow man. He had
never connected with any church
but had gone far enough when at
Buies Creek to be received as a
candidate for baptism, but for
some reason he never went any
farther. What his thougets were
and how well prepared he was
for the change which was so soon
to come, and how many prayers
he offered to the good Lord for
His blessing health and favor;
and how these were answered
only the unseen God knows. Let
us learn this lesson, while young
and in health, before the respon
sibilities of life weigh heavily
upon us, is the time to seek and.
to serve the Lord. We know
that "all things work together
for good to them that love the
Lord, to them who are called ac
cording to His purpose."
We offer our condolence to his
loved ones and pray that this be
reavment may be the means un
der God in directing their thought
and drawing their hearts unto
Him 4 'who is too wise to err, and
too good to be unkind."
Our friend leaves two brothers,
Robert B. and Walter A. and
three sisters, Mrs. Sadie Ausbon,
Miss Mamie Brown and Mrs.
Mattie Moore to mourn their loss.
On Friday afternoon at the resi
dence of his sister, Mrs. Mattie
Moore, in Williamston, the fun
eral services were conducted by
Rev. Geo. J. Dowell and his mor
tal remains were carried to Brown
Springs Cemetery and deposited
in the earth there by his father
and mother where together they
await the ®orning of the resur
rection.
