He is re ported to be improving. The meeting at the school buildint* SfltlirHav A ftornnAn I was well attended, and a B number of very helpful talks were made along the line of ex| tra efforts to grow foodstuffs I this year. Another meeting will be held Thursday night of this week when Rev H. R. Murchi son of Lancaster will be pre&ent V to talk to the people. Let every| body attend this meeting. On last Monday morning at 5 ' o'clock Mr. J. D. Rayfield of the Vaughn school section died at his home of pneumonia, as reported in these columns last week. His mother had come to his home to assist in nursing him in his sickness, and was taken sick with pneumonia also. She lived until Saturday after noon when she died, and was buried Sunday afternoon at Thompson Creek beside her son who was buried there on Tuesday before. Kev. 1. D. Purvis conducted both services. Mrs. Rayfield leaves a husband, Mr. Peter Rayfield. and five sons and four daughters with a host of friends to mourn her death. The daughters are Mrs. W. C. Sellers, Mrs. Monroe Griggs, Mrs. B. H. Welsh and Mrs. Jake Davis. The sons are Messrs. John, Budie, Claud, Clarence and J. B. Rayfield. Mrs. Rayfield was 54 years of age. Her son that died Monday before was about 29. The community was shocked at both deaths, and the deepest sympathy of their many friends are extended to the bereaved ones. 'v- - - * Mr. Sam Turner of Hamlet is spending a few days with his mother, Mrs. M. J. Turner, Messrs. W. P. Pollock and J. 0. Taylor were recently re elected as members of the county j board of education by the State ! board. A still was captured on Lanes Creek just over in Marshville township last Friday by officers J V. and Earl Griffith and Earnhardt of Monroe. Two Tolk boys were arrested, but a third man, said to be Ed Mullis, es caped under fire from three pistols and fired back as he ran. Mr. W. T. Rutledge received a letter Saturday stating that his 1 son Mr. John Rutledge was sick in a hospital in Atlanta, where he has been attending a dental college. The illness is not supposed to be very serious, and still nothing definite is known about the trouble. Mr. and Mrs. D. V. Hendricks have been sick for several weeks, and very little had been done toward a crop. Last Wednesday morning there were twenty plows in his fields and in the afternoon there were rhir teen. Manure and fertilizer was put out, and by night a larger part of his crop was planted. Only another evidence that this is a good section to live in. All motorcars in the State are required to be registered with the State Highway Engineer by July 1st. as provided by the recent act of the legislature. We have writteu for one hundred aoplication blanks for the convenience of automobile owners in this section. They should be here ready for distribution the latter part of this week. The fee this year is for half a year, and is therefore 12 1-2 cents per horsepower. Mrs. Emma A. Nelson, widow of the late Rev. J. S. Nelson, died at the home of her son in law, Mr. Carl Blakeney, at Jefferson last Wednesday night. The body was carried Thursday to Charlotte and buried (beside that of her husband. Two sons and one daughter survive. She had been a member of the church for many years, and was a good woman. She was 71 years old. Her husband was a minister in this county many years ago, and will be remembered by the older people of the county. The two weeks term of civil court for this county lasted three days only. Monday and Tuesday of last week were spent on equity cases. One case was tried, this being that of Wallace vs Rank of Ruby and Mt. Croghan. A mistrial was ordered, and thus the docket stands about ll'l/n i< ? ? 1 nv n vvus uciuiv Luuri convened. The reason for the early adjournment was that the farm ers are very busy at this season, and owing to the unusual demand for farm products it was thought wise to let the lawing go by for a while. Those responsible for this action are to be commended. Lawing is poor business (for all except the lawyers) at any time and es pecially so when every man who farms is needed at home. This paper was pleased to know that this action had been taken. Mr. John Robinson of Jeffer son was shot throueh the heart and instantlv killed by Bertha Munn, a white woman of the Flat Creek section of Lancaster county Saturdav night, according to evidence given at an in quest held on Sunday. The Munn woman confessed to the killing hut stated that Robinson was trving to force an entrance into her home when she shot him from the d^>or, and that she did not recognize him at the time. She was lodged in jail. According to the evidence at the inquest there were no eye witnesses, hut there were sever al persons in the house who heard the shots. Their testi mon.v, however, is said to have been somewhat contradictory. N \ , ? Don't fail to grow plenty to | eat and to spare. I Don't forget the civic prepar- l edness meeting at the school house Thursday night, E Mrs. Sue Rushing of Ruby v spent Sunday at the home ot her ~ brother, Mr. A. G. Anderson. S There will be services in the ^ M E. church next Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. Some features . on the world war will be dis cussed. . b A preparedness service will j be conducted at Zion church j next Friday evening at 8 o'clock. _ An address will be delivered by f some visitor. There will be a call meeting ( of Page Camp Woodmen of the World next Friday night for the ? purpose of giving two new mem bers the protection degree. Ev- ery member is urged to be pres- F ent. F The new quart liquor law is effective tcday. About eight F gallons of liquor were undelivered by the express company f< here yesterday afternoon when the old law went out. This will I be returned to the shippers today. Just a quart each calendar d month is the limit now. 1 Bunk Maske was convicted j at Monroe yesterdav of the killing of Edgar Williams at Win- \. gate a few weeks ago, and was p sentenced to be electrocuted on ^ Mav 25th. A snprial tnrm r\f court was ordered, and when it ^ convened short work was make ^ of it. The jury was out about 15 minutes. The negro was I stoical during the trial and received the sentence without ap- j parent concern. ; E Important Notice to Patrons n As is my official duty I have n recently traveled over route two f and three from this office. On route two I found that much road h work had been done, ar.d that P the people are taking much interest in the road. This I desire ? $ to commend. Still there are a _ few sections that need attention ^ at an early date. I hope that ^ these may soon be put in good * shape, so that I may make a good report to the Department. On route three I found that with the exception of one or two short stretches there has been absolutely nothing done ? to help the road, but very much ^ to damage it. In many places the road is barely wide enough ^ ior one vehicle, and then the people plow out into this and use it for a ditch. Humps of ^ dirt or sand are pulled into the tracks, and it is like riding P through a field for many miles g of the distance. No eftort is c made to keep deep sand tl beds from being formed; ~ small stumps and roots are put J into the road, and in general the road is a discredit to the service and to those responsible for its maintenance. The department, when informed of the condi tions, will not tolerate this con- j dition. And if the people do not appreciate the service enough to I.?1 1 t ivcum me lonu in snape as tney promised when they petitioned for the service, I shall be ' obliged to recommend that the ] service be withdrawn. I have not yet been over route one, but I am informed there are some very bad roads on this one also and that nothing has been done to better them. The same recommendation will have to be mad? on this route also unless the roads are put in de he cent condition. I>1 M,v, , e ? Hiuoi ui mt; dinners arc in through planting in these sec tli tions, and I shall hold off my nc reports and see whether or not m there is a desire to fix the roads bt and retain the service, ill J.
