Robertson, one of Rock isgham county's most progressive citizens, was elected by the board of rountv (commissioners of Rocking ham county to succeed Mr. J. V. Price as road superintendent. In electing Mr. Robertson to this responsible po sition the people ot Rockingham county feel that the commissioners madea wise selection. Since he was elected Mr. Robertson has been faith fully on his job and is doing much to improve the conditions of the roads. There is a strong sentiment In Rock ingham county that demands building of more permanent roads in order that the county may be connected with good roads. ; ; Madison has been waiting for some time to hear the news that the Nor folk and Western and Southern rail roads, both, of which do considerable business here, are going to put up a new union station. Madison peo ple for years have been demanding "better accommodations from the rail roads but no steps have been taken yet and the people will now urge upon the corporation Commission the importance of having at least a fair station there. Mr. M, L. Misenheimer, former edi tor of the Madison Herald having moved to Salisbury sometime ago, Madison has been without a paper ever since. It is thought that . the Herald will, bof ever, be gotten out again shortly. Mr. Sam Cayton, who ,is an experienced newspaper man and woo irw lurmtsnj wuu n cuoici a Weekly, of Reidsville, is expected to be here shortly to assist in getting the Herald started again. Mr. Cayton is well known throughout Rockingham as a high toned gentleman and the people of Madison are anxious to have him come. Messrs. J. A. Pratt, C. B: Pratt and W. 'A.,, Webster and others are spend ing a few days in the Eastern part of the State looking after some property which they have recently bought in that section. - It Is an evident fact that the tobac co season . in Rockingham, is about over. Madison has held np its high record In prices this year and has sold a great deal of the weed. - v MT. CARMEL. A large crowd gathered at Mt. Car mel school building Friday night to bear the debate, "Resolved, That the world owes more to navigation than It does to railroads." There were nine speakers,' four for the affirmative and five for the negative; Robert Hudson. John Carver. T. M. French and Wv J. Powell being strong for the afflrma- tive, and giving splendid arguments on the negative were Lester Jarrett, Homer Morgan, Wade Fotter, J. W. Jarrett and A. G. Strader. It was thought by many that Mr. W. J Pow ell made the best speech; indeed, all spoke well. The Judges' were O. R. Lauder, J. R. Stone and T. F. Scearco. They decided in favor of the affirma tive side. The question for the com ing Friday night is "Resolved, That the hope of reward has more influence over the human mind than the fear of punishment. Mr. W. R. French is spending a few days with his son, Mr. L. R. French, in High Point. Mrs. T. Z. Sparks of Ruffln visited her daughter, Mrs. Robert . Ellington, the past week. Miss Lelia French has returned home after an extended visit to her slater, Mrs. jGeorge Strader, in Dan ville, Va. Mr. W. P.

Mr. Robert Pryor Is very sick with la grippe, his many friends will regret, to learn. ' ; Mr. Albert Slade, a prominent saw mill man, had the misfortune to get seriously hurt while running the saw at the mill a few days ago. It seems that he was tripped by the carriage of the mill which threw him in contact with the steel cable, dragging him a short distance. He was very badly torn and mangled, and it is thought that he is injured internally. Oh! that one hundred and eighty pound Oregon scribe. She thinks she is some writer, but just watch old Carmel catch her napping. Mr. O. G. Craddock of '.Reidsville was the guest of Mr. J. M. Vaughn Sunday. This is to inform the. Groom's scribe that Mt, Carmel will meet them anywhere and at any time they wish to play rook or cards. Our Thorn psonville friend had bet ter have a safety valve attached to yourself or you might get on too much cold air and explode. ; ', STACEY. Last Saturday evening the Rev. Mr. Bogle of Ruffin preached a fine ser mon at Stacey school house to a large and attentive audience. On Sunday the Rev. Mr. Murchison filled his regular appointment there also. Both followed along the same lines. It seemed that they might have com pared notes, so closely were they paralelled. "Girls, don't ever wink at a boy," said Mr. Murchison, "for right then you have lowered your self." Then he spoke disparagingly of the man who worked against the Church and Christianity against the work of the spirit. He told a parable of an old woman he met at one of his appointments, who gave him the his tory of every family in the commun ity, and she spoke not well of any one. After services he enquired oi her. "Oh, she is one of the leading members of the church!" It seemed she thought she was all right They must have heard something, thus to rub it in with two shots in quick succession. Stacey Sunday School will reorgan ize the first Sunday in April. It is to be hoped the people will turn out in force that a greater choice of offi cers and teachers mar be belected. Not long ago thieves entered the school house here and stole the organ cover, window shades, and a pair of shoes and other articles belonging to Miss Rosa Preddy. It seems the farmers of this vicinity will curtail their tobacco-crop, and as In the time of Cleveland's adminis tration, go in for home supplies and molasses cane. It seems the Thompson ville neigh borhood is in the throes of a mighty malady; a terrible devastation that will carry death, destruction and ca lamity on an otherwise devout and charming community. Why, cards are all the go over here. They play them In the dwellings, in the stores, cn the wayside, and it is thought nothing of; for it is only for fun, and many a happy hour is spent that is better than going around hunting for the mote In the other fellow's eye. BENAJA. St. Patrick's day passed off and nobody killed or hurt. In fact not many knew St. Patrick was so near. We are now getting ready for the next big time (Easter.) Some are planning picnics, while others are figuring on a fishing party. Hope we can have both successfully. Mr. John VanHook, the coon hunter and fisherman, will lead the fishing party. John says there ought to be lots of "cats" in the creek, and if he does not have some fish Easter, why , he will give it up, . 'cause he is an old coon at the business. Mr. M. L.

A TUNED NOTE FROM ONE OF THOSE SERENADERS Editors The Review: In a recent issue of The Review there appeared an affidavit by Mr. John Burton re garding alleged damage done him by serenaders. I have stated before that no dam age was done by serenaders of which I was a party. Mr. Burton states in his affidavit that his chimney was torn down; that he knew it the next morning, and that the chimney had since been rebuilt by certain mem bers of the party to his satisfaction. I was not one of the party that re built the chimney, and I can prove ev ery word I have said about this mat ter by creditable witnesses Knowing Mr. Burton's reputation for veracity 1 do not see why It was necessary for Mr. Burton to make affidavit W.

RADIUM FAILED TO SAVE NEW JERSEY PATIENT Eight months after he called the re porters into his office to tell them that radium had cured his cancer of the tongue City Solicitor Samuel A. Pat terson of Asbury Park, N. J., died of cancer, lie hud been pronounced, free from the disease and had been so much benefited that be was able to resume the work he had dropped, but when his throat began to trouble him It was found that the radium bad not touch ed the growth in that part and that what it bad burned away was a mere offshoot of the jreal trouble. Mr. Patterson was first uware that something was wrong with him about fifteen mouths ago. As be was arguing a ease la the court of common pleas at Freehold. N. J., a Jugged tooth, from which the gold crown bad come off, cut his tougue. He consulted a doctor and he advise 1 him that he was suffer ing from i-.-incer. Determined to make a fight for It, Mr. Putlerson went to New York uud hud a treatment with radium. Just about then the case of Congressman Breinnerwrtt arousing great interest. He hud been treated by Dr. Howard A. Kelly of Baltimore and bud bad eleven tubes uf radium applied to the cuncer in bis shoulder for twelve hours at n stretch. Mr. Tatterson went to Baltimore to consult Dr. Kelly. By this time his tougue had become so Liutb nlTec-ted that be bud had toaban r'in cases which he was trying in the courts. His enunciation bad become thick and painful, und it was difficult for even his intimate friends to under stand him. Inflrcted Painful Burns. Dr. Kelly told biui that be thought lm bail u chance. Mr Patterson was willing to try anything, and for two hours he submitted to the application of radium tubes to the right side of his tougue and neck. They inflicted such painful burns tbut it was Impos sible for him to wear a collar for two weeks, but they produced at once a notable improvement in bis powers of speech. Then he made a second trip to Balti more, and this time submitted to the treatment for about an hour. It seem ed then that he was practically cured, and be was able to talk so clearly that be resumed bis duties. Dr. Kelly bad told him f come back a third time, but when be paid that visit bis tongue had improved so greatly that it was decided that no more radium was nec essary, and he was discharged as cured. ' It was then that Mr. Patterson call ed in the reporters to hear about his case. They found that his tongue was still discolored and looked brownish and that its flesh was hard and bis speech was still thick. Th"se symp toms, be assured the newspaper men. he had been told by the doctor were purely the result of the radium treat ment and that as soon as the effect of the burns wore off be would speak as well as ever he did. v For some weeks after this Mr. Pat terson kept tu his court work and did not again comrlaln of any trouble with his tongue. It was, however, the deeper cuncer, which was not discover ed for some time afterward and had not been affected by the radium treat ment, which In the end proved fatal. Mr. Patterson was fifty-three year old. He graduated from Columbia Law school and served us city solicitor for Asbury Park for two terms. Two Bite of Wood. Importance cannot he reduced to a matter of size. The success of a piece of work may depend on a tiny detail. Such Is the casein regard to that mar vel of construction, the violin. Her. n. R. Haweis in his "My Musical Life" tells of the care and tabor expended on two little pieces of wood which go to make up the perfect w hole. The sound bar is a strip of pine wood running obliquely under the left foot of the bridge. A slight mistake in its posi tion, looseness or inequality or rough ness of finish will produce that bollow teeth on edge growl galled "wolf.' It takes great cunning and a life of prac tical study to know how lorig and how thick the sound bar must be and exact ly where to place it In each instrument The sound post Is a little pine prop. like a short bit of cedar pencil. It Li the soul of the violin, and through It pour all vibrations. Days and weeks are spent In adjusting the tiny sound post Its position exhausts the patience of the maker and makes the joy or th misery of the player. Health Happiness. Without health, genuine joy Is im possible; without good digestion and regular bowel movement you cannot have health. Why neglect keepng bowels open and risk being sick and ailing You don't have to. Take Dr. King's New Life Pill at night in the morning you will have a full, tree bowel movement and feel much bet ter. Helps your appetite and diges tion. Try one tonight.

CONDITIONS MEXICO E Foreigners at Progreso, alarmed by disorders in the city, have asked for refuge on the American cruiser Des Moines, General Carranza, how ever, after conferences with Ameri can naval and diplomatic officials at Vera Cruz, has promised full protec tion for them. Consul Silliman at Vera Cms re ports that Carranza has agreed to co-operate In providing transportation for Americans and other foreigners -wishing to leave Mexico City and to facilitate transportation ot Red Cross supplies to the Mexican capi tal. .. Conditions at Manzantllo and Mex ico City are causing the United States officials grave concern. Either Zapa ta's occupation of the capital did not bring relief or Americans there are' tired of isolation and business stag nation. The operations of Carranza's troops at Manzanillo are causing foreigners . much apprehension. The United States has made urgent represent tIons regarding this. The United States consul there was ordered to keep in close touch with the cruiser Cleveland. It Is understood that the commander is empowered to relieve foreigners if necessary, - A Swedish dispatch said that con ditions In the capital were deplorable and ghastly. The Swedish minister Informed that State Department at Washington that Sweden intends to -demand full Indemnity for the mur der of one of its subjects, killed by Obregon's troops before the capital's evacuation. . A message says that four hundred Villa troops were killed In the battle with the Carranza forces at Allendo, CoahuIIa. The battle started Sunday and continued through Monday. The Villa forces fled to the Interior, says the report,' HEAVY CASUALTY LIST OF The British casualty lists for the five days 'from March 10 to March 14, inclusive, during which the bat tles of Neuve Chapelle and St Eiol were fought show that 116 officers were killed or died from wounds and that 1,913 officers were wounded or missing. The list of casualties among the men has not been published as yet, nor have any figures been given out; but some competent critics estimate them at about two-thirds ot those suffered by the Germans which Field Marshal dr John French, the British commander-in-chief, said were be tween 17,000 and 18,000. Reuters' Petr'grad correspondent says a capture ot the Austrian fort ress at Przemysl Is considered cer tain within a few days. Austrian soldiers captured by the Russians during unsuccessful sorties say the garrison Is existing on fam ine rations and that the hospitals are crowded. Przemysl, In Gallcla, has been de scribed as one ot the strongest posi tions held by the Austrians. It has been besieged' since the early weeks of the war and never has the Russian cordon been relaxed. The Austrians have made various attempts to relieve the garrison, the latest last week. Aeroplanes have been a great help to the garrison. They have kept the fortress in communication with Aus trian bases and have taken in supplies and medicines. A Docalogua of Conduct. Always be master of yourself. Never betray any Irritation or disappoint ment or any gather weakness. Never, slop over, neverglve yourself a way J never make yourself ridiculous what) American would not admit that these! are foremost among the rules by which he would like to regulate his conduct 3 It can be hardly denied that this ha bitual self mastery, this habitual con trol over one's emotions, is one of the chief reasons why so much of Ameri can life is so uninteresting and monot onous. - It reduces the number Of op portunities for Intellectual friction; ir suppresses the manifestation of strond Individuality;: often It impoverishes! the inner life itself. But on the other hand, it .has given to the American that sureness of motive, that health! ness of appetite, that boyish frollc somenes, that purity of ex Instincts, the quickness and Iltheness of man ners, which distinguish him from most Europeans. It has given to him all those qualities which Insure success and make their possessor a welcome member of any kind of society. At Untie. XXov aboil roar sa(tcrf;!a?
