It showed that a tentative roll call on the motion was taken and that the judge delivered a long opinion on the points at issue when his name was called, thirteenth on the list. Judge opinion, in substance was that the provision of the which limited the acts of the legislature In extra session to such subjects as were recommended to It by the governor should be given a reasonable construction. It upheld the provision referred to the leg- as a whole and not to the as- as an independent body. said Judge Cullen, subjects all relate to what the as a body, can do, and not to the power vested In one branch of the The tentative roll call was follow- ed by a viva vote and then a final roll call, with the same result.

JESSIE SMITH. Winterville, N. C, Route Box ltd Though little is being talked in public about the matter, the advocates a county hospital to be built la Greenville are hard at work. Those interested in the matter are gathering statistics and making detailed stud- and Investigations in the and will soon have something tangible upon which they may proceed further with tho movement that has been set on foot. The appearing in this paper sometime ago, in which a local physician asked for the opinion of others as to the or the opportunity for the establishment of such an institution, brought forth no responses whatever, but the men behind the proposition in Greenville are not discouraged. They are full of the Idea that there should be a hospital here, and there are hundreds of the people of the town who are supporting them in this view. The plan is to establish and equip in Greenville, or near this town, a modern and up-to-date, though not large, hospital. As no one Individual in Greenville seems to be willing to enough money to tho proposition to the plan, the Idea has been advanced that It b made a county institution. If were done, it would be supported by county through a fund raised by the levying of a per capita tax upon tho people of the county, each pay- his proportionate share. All charity patients would ad- to the wards free of charge, and would be cared for as though the hospital Were an endowed institution. All people of the country not able to pay their hills and to make pay- for the services rendered thorn would not made to pay for the services rendered them. Several of the local physicians have considerable on hand in regard to the matter, and relating to the proposition of tho tax worked out ex- enough for some sort of a plan to evolve the idea, the matter will be laid before tho public. the JURY GIVES THAT AMOUNT TO MAN SUING UNCLE FOR COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES A verdict of in favor of C. E. Tucker was brought In by the Jury In the case of Tucker vs. Adams in which Mr. C. E. Tucker was suing Mr. J. E. S. Adams for compensation for services rendered during tho past five years. Motion was made by the attorneys for the defendant that the verdict set aside, but Judge bee stated that he was of the ion that they might have given more and been Justified In their actions, but that If the defendant would pay immediately he would the amount to that figure. If an peal Is taken, the Judge announced that he would not set the verdict nor reduce it In any way. Up to the hour for going to press the defendant had made no decision as to Just what he would do about the matter, and tho verdict stands as the Jury brought it in after they had reached an agreement Tho was one of tho most interesting tried at this term of court, and occupied a great deal of the time of the session.

Many people have for a long time been wondering why the government Is making the channel of Tar river deeper. It is spending thousands of dollars in trying to provide a deeper water route whereby larger steam- ships may come up the river on their freight shipments. But It is beginning to look as though our people do not appreciate these things. Regardless of what the railroads agree to in the freight rate matter. Greenville Is in a position to get a rate If she will only her opportunity. Right at our very door is a river that ran be utilize to the greatest advantage, and which will mean the saving to the local mer- chants of thousands of dollars every year. At the present time a body of north- capitalists is seeking In regard to the opportunity and opening for the immediate establish- at this port of a water route from Greenville to Norfolk.

At the beginning of the light against the railroads for a better and a cheap- rate for the organized forces of the merchants of the state made demands up the railroads. These demands the railroads at first refused to accept, and for a long while did nothing whatever In to the matter. Tiring of their efforts, the business men determined that the railroads should pay attention to their demands. Or- were perfected in half the counties of the and the merchants and manufacturers banded themselves together, and pared to present a solid phalanx in their fight against discrimination an I injustice The fight was started many months ago, and it is still going on with unabated interest. Time after time the railroads have submitted propositions In an effort to end the fight In their favor, but each time it was ant time it was found that the climax had not been reached, and there was still more to come. And now. before an- other week has rolled around, the legislature will have met In an extra session, called by the governor and assembled together for the purpose of discussing the dis- of the railroads. On the me day that the General Assembly a great concourse of the bus- n of North Carolina, one other, will gather in a in the city r the purpose of dis- solves rem- it is being met- dollar lots at a time, some- times forget they can also money by the slower and surer route, by way of Investigating their money In houses to be rented out.

This is what appears to b, climax and the beginning end In the matter. A fight of m. months Is being brought to a Doth railroads and are their last stand. Whatever is done now will in all likelihood be done for all time, certainly for many years to come. The unjust freight rate of the railroads affects every person in the state who has to eat and who wears clothes. Every one should be vitally interested in the matter. No one should be Indifferent and turn a deaf ear to his own in- For this reason, let every business man in Greenville and Pitt county who can make it convenient to do so, make it his business to go to Raleigh for the big convention of day after tomorrow. You may think it will be a tax on your time and your book to go there and stay for two or three days, and It may be. but think what a tax it will be on your time, your pocket book, and your If you stay away and your state Is given no relief from the In- justice of the railroads.

Many times the question has been asked, is and almost as many different answers have been given as there have been questions asked. One answer, and, we believe one which is about as true as any of them, is that man is what the child before him proved to be. If the child was given the proper train- In his youth, and If he made good, then the man will take care of himself. Too much emphasis cannot be laid on the importance of giving proper training to children during the days of their school life. We do not pro- pose to palm ourselves off as one cap- able of saying just now a child should be trained, but we do know that ha should ho given the best that there ll to be had. And so, we are brought face to face with the matter of train of children In the public school . EXTRAVAGANT LIVING. In his charge to the grand jury In the superior court at Ash Mile the other day, Judge Frank Car- his views as to the evil of our conveniences upon the morale of our people, did he score the telephone, saying that it was responsible for many doubtful and objectionable ex- that pass between young people when talking by wire. He was of the opinion, also, that many housewives learn to extravagant because they can step to telephone and order commodities which they would never of having if they had been compelled to a trip to the store to get As the Judge says expression in the chase of automobiles by people who couldn't buy shoes were their honest debts paid, and private extravagance has led to public extravagance which threatened to bankrupt the The Judge, correctly we believe, said that much of the crime today may be traced to extravagant living, and it is a thing that there are scores and hundreds of automobile owners in this state who mortgage their own homes to own these cars. While we share the opinion of the judge to a considerable extent, yet see no reason for taking such a pessimistic view of the matter as does our distinguished Jurist. To the best of our memory we did not say that the Ocracoke people took anything from the vessel, but if they who have been committed to care for the nine months of the year now just in the beginning did tho charges of the captain who If young ladies have come here so accused them should be for a good, hard, earnest year's work, ed and they given dues.

It is true that the senator did pear to be a little off in pear to a little off his base In the last congress, but he has proved him- self true since he was elevated to the position which he now occupies.

May it the greatest and most successful year . they have ever spent, If Mr. has very much of It, he will know how to sympathize with Thaw. UNDERWOOD'S On last Saturday night It was announced In Washing- ton that Representative Oscar W. floor leader of the Demo- House, has decided to make the race for the United States senate So the successor of Congressman Clay- ton, who has been filling out the expired term of Senator Joseph John- son. While this announcement comes at this time, It Is not altogether prising to who have been keep- Pace recent developments Yet those who had hoped to see Mr. Underwood advance in the world of politics do BOt know Just exactly how to interpret Ml actions. It was at one time thought by some that Mr. still had the presidential bee buzzing in his ear, but this does not give that appear- While he held the key to situation for many long weary days at the Baltimore convention, it was a very fact that he never stood any sort of a show of being the successful candidate, It may that the distinguished Alabama states- man has to the conclusion that If ever lie had a It has by this time sunk below tho western and that lie must go through life with out the honors of the highest office in the gift of his people. We do not believe that Mr. Under- wood could nominated for the presidency In 1916, yet no one can tell what a day may bring forth. It la very true that ho has made for the of Representatives the best and most capable leader of re- cent years, and that he has performed a distinguished service for the country In what he has done. We think he Is now In the very place for which he Is most suit- ed, and that ho should remain there. If he goes to the senate, he will have to spend many years there before nothing is to be gained by any such view of these conditions. However, it is well that one call a halt in our modern methods of living, and It is better that this from a higher authority. Does a lawyer ever scramble for a that he may get and then retire from the bench The benefit that a child will derive from his years in the graded school j and will depend Upon M and determination that is put into his work, but a great portion of It will came as a result of the attitude of the parent. There are careless and indifferent children in the schools, and these must be shown that they must work. They cannot be left to choose their own course. This kind of a boy will never be brought to realize the true and proper mean- of opportunities that lie be- fore him, and ha will consequently not take hold of them. The boy who Is studious and In- and who has more than that which he gets from the books that he studies, is of the kind which shall one day be real back- bone of the country. He must, of necessity, be the leader of future generations, and the careless, sort of a fellow will have to fellow in behind and let this man do his thinking for him. There Is ways a place in the bivouac of lit for tho boy who Is always up doing. Let the boys and girls In our schools of today realize, and let the parents of these boys and girls realize, that it Is they to whom the future will look for the propagation of the work which tho present generation shall lay down right soon. Our nation needs these and girls. Pitt county needs tho boys and girls in her schools today, and the county of future can be only whatever they are. No county is better than the people who live in It, for It Is the people who the county. If our girls of the present fall, then our county will fall Let each and every one of them realize that they owe a duty to their county, and that If they are sluggish and backward the reflection Is not only upon them, but upon their county and upon their state. --------o How many men In the state know the difference between tho lat- est proposals of tho railroads and the former one The will and desire of a child, though under the dominion of Its parents, should ways be respected.

Mr. Is charged with crimes and but the crowd that Is doing tho charging Is The New says that the housewives in that town are living In hopes that new tariff bill will reduce the high cost of beef.

Miss Nannie has returned from Mass., where she spent the Bummer, According to plans now on foot, the members of Carolina Club will, at their next meeting take up the prop- of providing better facilities for this town by means of the establishment of a steam ship line between Greenville and Nor- folk. One of the principal reasons for tho advancement of this project b that some sort of a competitive may be put into Influence a better freight rate over the Norfolk Southern railroad from Greenville to Norfolk. The matter of establishing a steam- ship line from this town to Norfolk Is not a new project It has been dis- cussed by some of the principal men and wholesale merchants of the town for some time. Added however, was given the move- a few days ago upon the re- of a letter from a bunch of Northern capitalists who seem to Interested In the new boat line. It is believed that such a project would be a paying proposition, and it Is pointed out that even thought a or a stock company might not be to make a fortune In the business, it would be to the Interest of the merchants and wholesalers of the town to band themselves and finance the project them- selves. It Is believed by men In to know, that unless the rail- roads of the state grant a consider- able reduction In the freight rates charged the merchants of North Car- and a part of which Greenville people are given, that the line would mean a consider- able saving to the business enterprises of this section of the state. Already several coast cities and town in this state have lines run- to Norfolk, and all of them real- the immense saving that Is netted them by the advantages of such a project The town of Washington at the present time enjoys a much low- freight rate than does Greenville and that because of her water front- age. Advocates of the new project say that the federal government Is spend- Its money to dig a six-foot In the Tar River up to tills town, and that the merchants should show their appreciation by taking ad- or the opportunity thus en them for securing better and cheap- freight rates. The concern In the north which has written hero for In- formation on tho subject seems to be very much interested, and Caro- Club will take up the matter at Its next meeting. -Well, what have yon there ex- claimed Mrs. Morton a Marjory, all out of breath, entered the room. and an- her daughter as she undid the wrapping paper. cried Mm.

Went storming out to playing. Long ago a winter sun Shone over it at setting; Lit up the western window-panes, And low eaves icy fretting. It touched the tangled golden curls, And brown eyes full of grieving, Of one who still her steps delayed When all the rest were leaving. For near her stood little boy His childish favor singled; His cap pulled low upon a face Where pride and shame were mingled. Pushing with restless feet the snow To right and left, he As restlessly her tiny hands The blue-checkered apron fingered. He saw her lift her eyes, he felt The soft light caressing, And heard the tremble of her voice As if a fault confessing. sorry I spent the word; I hate to go above you. brown eyes lower fell you see, I love Still memory to a gray-haired man That sweet child-face is showing, Dear girl I the grasses on her grave Have forty years been growing He lived to learn in life's hard school, How few who pass above him, Lament their triumph and his loss, Like they love him.
