When the “Tar Heels” speak the world must hear. To the saloon the mandate has gone forth: “Set thine house in order for thou shall die and not live.” The sad announcement that Rev. A. B.

They select for mayor Alwyn Bennett, a young man whom they think they can control. Bennett’s heroic stand for civic righteousness un der the most trying circumstances, involving the “loss of the woman he loves and the good name of his dead father, makes one of the most intensely dramatic stories ever written. This story is told in most dramatic style with out a surplus word to clog the action from begin ning to end. If ever there was a story which will make you look for the next issue of the paper it is ;his one. The characters act and speak their parts as they do in the play, standing out in,clear cut distinctness in the mind of the reader. The excit ing situations in the successive scenes are wrought into a climax of terrible tensity. and ladies, has our thanks full of fine peaches. They were splendid—couldn’t be otherwise when Miss Bessie had anything to do with them. She would make some man a noble wife. Bro. “Pete,” you are exactly right on the subject of profane swearing. It’s one of the most inexcusable sins in the catalogue, and why sensible men indulge in it is beyond our com prehension. Rev. C. M- Teal will preach at Ab ingdon Creek and Rev. T. B. Owens at Wilson’s Chapel on the 1st Sab bath in June. For several days your corres pondent has been troubled with one of his eyes that gives considerable pain at times. Medical authorities pronounce it catarrhal conjunctivitis. If the name don’t kill we hardly think the disease will. It’s painful enough, however, to cause a good deal of grunting at times. Dr. Grif fith gave us a treatment that gave relief and Mrs. J. L. S. says if we would keep it up and Quit reading so much it would cure It. No doubt if we would use the doctor medicine and her. advice, times would get better with us. Mr. T. Jeff Hughes has been suffer ing from the effect of a tick bite on his arm. He wds threatened with blood poison but is getting along very well now. Major General Wm. E. Mickle, ad jutant general and chief of staff United Confederate Veterans, has sent us an itimized statement of re ceipts jyid expenditures from June 1, 1907, to December 31, 1907. There are now 1,665 corps of United Con federate veterans, the last one organ ized being at New 6rookland, this State, known as D. I. Roof Camp, No. 1665. For the satisfaction of those who feel an interest in the United Con federate Veteran Association, we give the last general order issued from general headquarters: Headquarters U. C.

The generar commanding announces that after the convention Is fully organized for business on the second day, June 10, prdxlmo, exactly at high noon. In accordance with the custom which was established at the Charleston reunion and which has since been rigidly observed, “Mem orial Services” will be held tor ore hour. At that moment the convention will suspend business for this sacred purpose, without further notice and without regard to what is then taking place, and the flags will be draped in mourning as a mark of respect to the memory of the beloved first com- mander-in-chief and only “Daughter of the Confederacy,” and to the mem ory of all of our comrades who have preceded us Into t .ernity.

The man who enjoys the friendship of a nice girl should appreciate It as a high honor, and does so, if he is the right kind of a man.

You need not expect a man to have as much respect for you if you mabe eyes at him as he would for the girl he asks some friend to introduce him to. Of course, it sometimes happens that friendship found in that way turns out all right, but it’s a great risk and not the right way of doing things. Be modest, be dignified, and the average man will treat you with respect, and he will be anxious to stand well in your estimation.

We hope the Spartans will give him a rousing vote. “Uncle Dlch" knows all about working roads. He served this county faithfully in that capacity. We don’t mean he was on the chalngang, but he had charge of it. He didn’t wear the stripes hut he put them on the recolcltrant con victs whenever they needed them. They couldn’t fool with “Uncle Dick.” Sim Glenn, colored, is one of the happiest men In lower Cherokee. His cow found a calf the other night and since then he has been wearing his “Derby” on the side of his head. Sim is one of the best workers of his race. He sometimes goes to work be fore breakfast while the majority of them don’t want to go afterwards. Tbe time tried and panic tested farmers of lower Cherokee are hold ing their cotton tor better prices. They will sell when they get their price.
