MEETING CONTINUES
: The revival at Hamilton is weU un

■ every service. It is predicted that the
large tent will be 'fil ed by the lan
of the week. The Ed. G. Caldwell
j Evangelistic party, of Dillon. 8. C.,
are in charge of the services. There
are two services daiiy, 9.-OU a. ni., and
8:00 p. m.
On Sunday there will be three s*r
vices with subjects as follow.*: 11:15
a in., "Play Ball," a special basebal
sermon, using baseball terms and il
lustrations; 3:30 p m_, "Show Thy
self a Man," for men only. A special
service for women will be held in the
Methodist church al the same hour.
8:00 p. m., "Lay the Axe at the Foot
of the Tiee," a sermon on modern
murals and motierd conditions.
The services at Hamilton are now

U'tievei themselves aa good aa the
other fellow who makes a bigger show
have been shown Uiat a Christian is
known by his deeds by all bis fel ow
associates. And that if you are one
of the self siyled Christians who des
nothing evil in your own s ght but
also do nothing for Christianity, you
have a small chance of getting t
Heaven. Rev. Mr. Caldwell has mule
plain the fact that a Christian wil
not be satisfied just to refraia fr. n
evil himself, but will do all in hi:
power to help his fellow man who h
laboring umler the string* of the d.-v
il. The selfishness of the world c in
stitutes as much sin aa aay other ft nr.
of sin that has been created on G* •!
green earth, and a man is lend by
this sin easier than any other, foi
it ia hard for a man who does r.ot
turn himself wholly over to G«
work to realise that he is what he
reaily is, and not what he prete tfe
to be. ...
Jesus ChrL-d spent his entiie I ft
for humanity of the world, retairi-ig
nothing for Himself. The Christian!
on earth who live the life of Je.w
Christ will be happy in Heaven; th se
who live for selfish interests h n
on earth more than they do for vel
fare of their fellowman will i» eterni
ty realize that they have allowed me
and women to (o to hell who eeuV
have been saved from eternal stiff-r
ing, and given eternal life in its drsd.
The average person who realize* thi»
fact and wilfcirtake a mental picture
in their imagination of what the here
after will he will do no less than shud

will present themselves in the world
to come.
Rev. Mr. Caldwell ia dwelling on
these subjects that cannot have tor
much emphasis, and all who are in
terested ia their hereafter can do nr.
better than spend their time at hi*
services.

NEW BOAT LINE
FROM NORFOLK
TO WILLIAMSTON
SAILINGS BEGAN WEDNESDAY;
TWO BOATS A WEEK WILL
BE THE SCHEDLLE
The Norfolk, Baltimore and Caro
lina Line, which has been operating
a boat as far this way as Edenton,,
1 for some time in the past, has now :
, lengthened the line to Plymouth and!
Williamston.
The sailings to Williamston began
Wednesday, the "ClyUe" making
its initial trip, and will be continued
making Williamston twice a Week.
Wednesdays and Saturdays. This
line has been operating a successful
line out of Norfolk as far as Eden
ton for some time, and the success
of these sailings have been such that
the company has faith in the busi
ness of this section, and has length
ened the sailing to Williamston. The
company handles freight from other
lines from the North into Norfolk,
and will be glad t«« take charge o*
the transfer of freight at Norfolk for
businessmen n{ this section.
The local agency will be handled by
Mr. C. D. Carstarpheo, who will do
his utmost to give satisfaction at this
end of the line, and use his influence
if needed with the company for any
favors that may be needed by the
business interests here at the Norfolk
end of the line. The Norfolk. Bal
timore and Carolina Line are very for
tunate ia securing Mr. Carstarphe
to handle their interest* here, and we
predict that the sailings to Williams
ton will be made a success if for no
other rencson than that Mr. Carstar
phen has charge of the line's inter

ROANOKE FAIR IS
MAKING STRIDES
IN DEVELOPMENT
NEW ATTRACTIONS ARE BEING
BOOKED AND OLD ONES
ENLARGED
As the date for the Roanoke Fair
grows nearer, indications are that it
will rival llio.-e of much larger places
than Williamslon, a number of the
ue»t attractions booked at the larger
lairs having having tteeu booked tor
the Roanoke Fair, to be at the fair
grounds here November 13, 14, 15, and
Mr, 11. M. Poe, the active manager,
has entered in the stake races 135 en
• tries, but this is by no means ail the
horses, as the open races which is
. what this fair has had heretofore are
to be run as usual.
) The great Sheesley Shows, a thirty
five car company that is playing such
, fairs as Richmond and Raleigh will al
'so play Williainston and they have a
clean show. Nothing in this line
ever been in this section before that
can anywhere near measure up to the
Sheesley Show in size.
I Bookings for the free acts are now
being made. They will be of the top
, hue variety, such as played by the
| largest fairs in the country.
Doubly as many fire works as last
\ear and in addition to the fire works
at night the free acts will give an
hour's show in front of the grand
stands. Of course, these acts wul
perform between each race in the
day time. r
The management is expecting more
cattle and swine this year titan ever
before, and in the poultry department
a number of bookings have already
been made.
The fair management is especially
desirous of having the ladies of tho
section make a large display of their
home work and canned goods. This
is always a most important depart
ment of a fair, and the number of
exhibits on display indicate the local
interest in the exhibition. This «ie
partment is where the county will get
its advertising and boosting. We may
publish stories of the success of our
farmer-, and gardeners every week
in the year, which will make the |ev
pie of our neighboring counties rea>:
with wonder and consternation, but
when they come to our fair next fall
and see these exhibits that we know
our ladies of the county can produce,
they will see with their own eyes
the things that they could not belie* e
when read about in black and white;
that is in the same sense of convic
tion. When they are read about, the
reader almost invariably will have
some variation to offer him-elf in his '
mind, but when seen at the fair, it
will create in them a direct desire to
get where they can do likewise, ami
with our boosting and the lai lies' ex
hibits combined we will be on a fair
road to bringing new progressive fam
ilies to Martin county, as wet I a>
stimulate an interest in those who do
not take part in the exhibits, to get '
busy and accomplish more for them
selves than they have in the past.
The object of these exhibits at all
fairs is to encourage our neighbors
to accomplish the same progress we
do, and if you do not show them your
progress they will invariably believe
they are abreast with the time*. This
is an impression that w-e must not al
low to exist in Martin county if •«
are to continue on our upward prog
ress, and we must continue to prog
less, as only a steady climb will put
Martin county where she rightfuUy
belongs. *
