A Correction.
ed. joukhal: X wish to correct a
statement made by Mr. Green in Friday's
issue In regard to myself.
He ssld I waa not the choice of thlaj
township and that I knew It. This
had no right to eay, for I did not know!
It. or I never for a moment would have
thought of offering myself as a candidate
for any office.
l would never ask support or any
other township, knowing 1 could not get
it in my own.
The vote of 1000, as we all know, was
not a correct expression of the senti
ment toward say candidate but was the
result of that unfortunate dtvialon which
got Into our ranks st that time.
But In the opening of this esmpalgn a
number of those who were against me
then were kind enough to volunteer
their support in case I should be a candl
date. This led me to believe that I could
get the support of my people.

A Pleasant Picnic and Successful Enter
prise, n
Aug. 21-NotwIthstandlng the inclem
ency of the weather on the morning ' of
the 18th, our picnic wss a complete suc
cess. There was a large representation from
the counties of Beaufort, Pitt, Onslow,
Jones sad Pamlico.
In the forenoon we had addresses by
Superintendent Brinson and Miss Leah
Jones. In a short but eloquent sddress
Mr. Brinson' compared the conditions of
the Southern States with those of the
North and East, showing clearly why
the country districts should have more
and better schools.
He then introduced Miss Jones, who
took us Into the schoolroom with the
little ones and pictured them sitting
hour after B6ur on straight back seats,
with feet dangling above the' floor, sur
rounded by 'bare unsealed walls trying
to learn the lessons assigned them. A
picture with which we are all too sadly
familiar. Bhe then told how our houses
might be improved and beautified so that
school life would become a pleasure to
the child Instead of being abhorred as Is
now sometlmee the case.
The result was an organization for bet
terment of schools wss perfected with
Mrs. Grace Whltford president, snd Mrs
Rosa Whltford secretary.
After a bounteous repast we had a
very interesting game of ball between
the Reelsboro teem and what remained
of the Zorah nine together with a few
players of visiting clubs. The result was
a shutout for the visitors, the homo club
scoring nine runs.
The Reelsboro boys played good ball
bnt made a number of errors which al
lowed the score to be augmented con
siderably. The game was umpired by Mr. Geo. B.
Waters, Zorah's candidate for register of
deeds.
Sheriff Blddle was also present and
was cordially greeted by the many
frlenda which he has st this place.
While some plsyed ball others were
hopping the light fantlstlc, and not being
satisfied with the sports of the day they
met at night and continued their amuse
ment for some hours longer.
