Other nations were punished for their sins of the war though not In comparison with Germany, Miss Pal mar MA. Russia, for instance, she explained, was punished for ; her treatment of the Jews, Turkey for her' treatment of the Armenian Christians, France for throwing off the cloak of Christianity and don ning the cloak of infidelity, Belgium for.the Congo atrocities, Eng'and for forcing opium into China at the point of the bayonet.

A DINNER TO THE TOBACCO 0 DUTY ON POTASH. Mr. and Mrs. John R. Pender en tertained at a most delightful recep tion last evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Pender, Jr., at their home on Church street. The home was beautifully decorated, each room displaying various colors and ornamentations. 1 The hall glowing with ferns and chrysanthemums, and a profusion of Dusty Mil'ers. The library with yel low chrysanthemums and ferns, made a very attractive entrance to the dining room, which was magnificent ly decorated with white chrysanthe mums draped with lace. On entering the home the guests were welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. L. Dow Pender. The ladies were shown to the cloak room by Misses Ruth Jender and Janie Campbe'.l Lapsley, Miss Mary Wooten and Mr. Brooks Peters introduced the guests to the receiving line composed of the fol- lowing: Mr. and Mrs. John R.

She pleased the audience to a man and while many went to the service expecting to hear Mack, they came away refreshed with Miss Palmer's interesting discourse. Numbers of people drove over last night to hear Mack from Greenville, WUliamston, Conetoe and other nearby places. In the congregation at the tent were several traveling men who were "making Tasboro" yesterday and today.

While not the largest of the sea son, yet yesterday's sales would number among one of the largest this season. These sales amounted to 100,000 pounds of tobacco. Another item of gratification to the buyers and warehousemen was the fact tiiat so much of this tobacco came from surrounding counties. Halifax, Martin and Pitt were repre sented in the sales. 0 In E MORE INTERESTING BOOKS AND RELICS continued. It is all verv well to loan had thought they were beyond cure, I mi n .1 . 4.nn .

Since the splendid exhibit of relics were .Jiown at the fair by J. P. Keech there seems to be an added interest in such things. Mr. Keech tells the editor that just within the last day or two he has been fortunate enough to 3ee many valuable relics that far surpass any that were shown by him. There is in a home here the flag of the Sixty-first N. C. V. Regiment of 1861, with several 'bullet boles in it. The flag went through the Civil war and is in a fine state of preservation because of the great earn that has been taken with it. Also an original hymn book writ ten by John Wesley and in Wesley's own hand writing. It is stated that John Wes'ey com piled seven of these books arid it is impossible' for any ' one to purchase a copy-at-any price. This hook came into the possession of Ralph Potts in 1780 and then was the- property of John Wesley Potts, and then came to the family who has- it now. - TKe book is very interesting, the instructions written in the back of the bosk and .the list of notes and the names and measure of notes are very peculiar and rea'Iy hard for one to understand. Many other books of ancient date, that is from 1712 to 1800, are well preserved and well worth reading. Among the things shown was an Id Spanish watch that must be very Id. The face of the watch has the picture of the great Spanish fleet so well known in history and the works are so arranged as to make the fleet pass in view as the watch works. Relics of the continental army were among the collection. Why can't some one be appointed to gather up the things of the past and place them in a museum for Edgecombe county? Buncombe county has a special room Jn its court house for just such a purpose, and when in Ashevil!e you will fifind it an interesting place to go. ' Mr. J. P. Keech states that he would be glad to place all the relics that he has gathered together in such a pla:e for Edgecombe county. So many things of the civil war Last night Mr. W. A. Hart gave a dinner to the members of the To bacco Board of Trade, the ware housemen, auctioneers, buyers and all connected with the Tarboro to bacco market. The out-of-town guests were Mr. R. E. Powell, Mr. Walston, of Scot land Neck, and Mr. B'ount, of Bethel. At 9 o'clock Mr. Hart escorted his guests into the dining room of the Hotel Farrer. At the table were 41 plates, and they were all taken. And such a dinner and how it was en joyed. There were oysters, turkey, dressing, potatoes, hot ro'Is and cof fee and cigars. Mr. Hart in welcoming his guests to the festival board, said : "Possibly you are asking your selves the question, why I am giving you a dinner.. First of all, I am deeply interested in anything that concerns the building up of the com munity in which I live. Each one of you gentlemen, I am glad to say, is today one of us having cast your lot on this market. Knowing each one of you as I do and thinking so much of you, I feflt that I wanted in some s.'ight way to show my appreciation to you of your work among us. I must say that it largely depends upon you as to whether or net Tar boro will ever be a successful tobacco market. The responsibility rests al most entirely upon your shoulders. ; Since you have been among us I have tried to attend as many sales as I possibly could, and I must say that in every instance I believe you gentlemen try to" give to the farmer every cent that you are allowed by your companies to pay for tobacco. There is only one criticism that I might make, and that is that you have your good days and bad days. Let this in some way be avoided and let it be somewhat a stable market, never allowing anybody to 'say that on account of "the' size ofthe break that they had been taken' advantage of. . "I sincerely trust that each one of you gathered around this :abie to night will thoroughly enjoy, not so much the dinner, but the thought in my bringing you together as citizens of our community." Mr. Blount, of Bethel, was called upon to say a few words to the party. Mr. Blount stated that he was a Pitt county man and of course was more in sympathy with the Greenville mar ket than any other market. But, he new that there were portions of his county that could not be served by Greenville, and the Tarboro market had come to be a necessity in this section generally. Mr. Ferguson, Mr. W. G. Clarke and Mr. R. E. Powell made brief speeches. Mr. Ferguson in behalf of the to bacco men thanked Mr. Hart most kindly for the pleasures of the eve ning. Mr. Ferguson said the dinner and other courtesies extended were greatly appreciated.
