PERSONAL Embroidery Gab Death of Mr. Waher Hauell At five o'clock Saturday morn ing, September, 20th.. 1913, my dear uncle, Walter Hassell, at his house in Williamston, N. C., after an illness of many months though only confined to the house but a few days, and in the six tieth year of his age, passed from earth into eternity. He was born in the house where he died, October, 15th., 1853 and was the youngest living child of the late Elder C. B. and Martha M. Hassell, being survived by an only sister Mrs. William Slade and a half brother Elder Sylves ter Hassell both of Williamston, N. C. He was married to . Miss Frances Nicholls of Scotland Neck, Halifax county, N. C., on the 17th., day of September, 1873 which was a few days over forty years of married life when he passed away. Of their four children, a daughter Mrs. F. W. Hoyt and son C. B. Hassell sur vive. All his life since reaching his majority he has been identified with ihe business interests of Williamston, being associated for a number of years in the mercan tile business with his father and the late S. R. Biggs under the firm name of C. B. Hassell&Co., and later associated with the late John R. Rogers, as the firm of Hassell & Rogers. For the past twenty-five years or more he has be*n a dealer in stock and all his business transactions were noted for honesty and square dealing. No man ever lived who was a more loyal son of the South. He always had faith in her future and had watched with pride the development of his country from Reconstruction days to the hour of his death. It will always be a cherished heritage that he lived long enough to see a Southern man President of the .United States and in charge of affairs in both Houses of Congress. Though he never made any profession of religion he was by belief a Primitive Baptist, hav ing never felt that he was good enough to unite with the church, yet no lingering doubt, no har assing uncertainty prompted him to inquire "if a man die shall he live again?", but with a simple and abiding trust in the saving efficacy of Christ's blood and in Christ as the first fruits of all who sleep in him, death to him was the gateway to an eternity of rest, serenity and joy. His purity of life and force of charac ter were unquestioned and in his private life he stood like a polish ed shaft "Four-square to all the winds that blow". Around his home there perpetually shone an aureola of love and joy, for with wife and children and grand children life was all sunshine and to them he had consecrated his great heart. The funeral service was con ducted by Rev. M. E. Bethea on Sunday afternoon at four o'clock and interment was in the Baptist Cemetery. The pall bearers were, Wheeler Martin, J. D. Biggs, J. P. Simp- W. Anderson, K. B. Crawford, and W. T. Ward. A Victim of Scarlet Fever Ethel Harris, the ten-year old child of Mrs. A. B. Ayers, died at the home of her mother in Bear Grass, on Wednesday morn ing, September 24th. 1913. The little girl had been a sufferer with scarlet fever for several days, but the severity of the attack brought death despite the atten tion of nurse and physician. An other child in the family is ill with the fever, but hopes of her recovery are strong in the hearts of loved ones. Wednesday afternoon, the fun eral services were conducted by Elder John N. Rogerson, of the Primitive Baptist Church, and the interment was in the family plot at the cemetery. Friends and neighbors sympathize deeply with the bereaved mother in her sore trial.

Anti-Hog Cholera Serum The North Carolina Depart ment of Agriculture has for the past three years prepared and distributed to the farmers of this State anti-hog cholera serum at cost of production. This serum is used as a pre ventive for hog cholera, and if injected before the hogs show any signs of cholera, it will pre vent them from developing a case oj cholera, even if they are exposed. It is not claimed for this serum that it will cure a case of cholera, as it is a preventive and not a curative measure. We begun the preparation of this serum in a very limited way and have found that it has met with uniformly good results. The demand for it has continued to increase until it was impossible to meet the demands at the plant where we first begun the work. In order to be in position to meet all demands made by the farmers of this State for the serum, we have built and equipped a large new serum plant which will be used exclusively for preparing anti-hog cholera serum. For full information and direc tions for using this serum, apply to the North Carolina Depart ment of Agriculture, Raleigh, N. C. B. B. Flowe, Director, Veterinary Division.

Debate Cancelled ( Reported) The debate which was schedul ed to come off in Robersonville on Tuesday night between Dr. J. J. Tajlor and Rev. E. R. Israel, of Ayden, N. C., did not take place, Mr. Israel claiming that he had been mislead as to the sub ject to be discussed. The town was full of people anxious to hear the discussion, and 1,500 to 2,000 people were seated in the large auditorium when the speakers arrived. It was known, however, that the Rev. Mr. Israel had backed out before all the crowd had assem bled. At the appointed hour, the two speakers mounted the platform and Dr. Taylor announced the subject, which was as follows* "Resolved, That sprinkling or pouring as well as immersion is Christian Baptism". And after fully outlining the agreement which was admitted by the second of Mr. Israej| he announced his readiness to begin. Mr. Israel announced that as he had been misinformed as tr> the subject, he would not enter the debate on such short notice. It seems, however, that it all worked out for the better, as Dr. Taylor preached a strong sermon on Christian unity, which eviden tly pleased the entire congrega tion and which would tend to bring all Christian people togeth er in the great mission they are trying to fill. Out in Kansas Word comes from Kansas that during the first six years of pro hibition in that State, insanity has decreased slightly over 16 per cent, or about about one in six, as a direct result of the great ly decreased use of alcohol in all forms. General increased effi ciency is claimed all along the line, but it is very hard to deter mine exactly the amount credita ble to prohibition. Good for Kan sas. Onr own statistical experi ence satisfies us that Kansas is not faking on us. Other states will continue to "get wise" and "get on the water wagon" from time to time, and alcoholism, like yellow fever and plague, will become largely a matter of record.
