SCHOOL
By John
Still sits the school-house by the road,
A rugged beggar sunning;
Around it still the sumacs grow,
And blackberry vines are running.
Within the masters desk is seen,
Deep scarred by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jack-knife carved initial,
The charcoal frescoes on the wall;
Its door's worn still betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school.
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.

Test work of a new road machine

done on Third street between Evans
and Pitt streets.
The work Is being done under the
supervision of the street commute.-
by the board of aldermen, and very
close attention is being given the
class of work that is being turned
out by the machine. Two
are driving the new road device, and
are of themselves learning how to
operate it. The services of two men
are needed, as one has to drive the
team and the other give his

Mr. Hardy Painfully Hurt on Las
Sunday By
Mr. H. Hardy, of the firm of
and on last Sunday
a very painful injury to right
while attempting to crank an auto-
mobile. When he had carried the
crank around several revolutions, and
the spark had been Ignited, the crane
flew back and struck his wrist
above the hand. Not thinking It to be
a very serious nature, he took but
little notice of the Injury, and went
on a long trip Sunday afternoon. On
Monday morning, however, he found
that hie hand was so sore that he
could not use it, and had to have It
attended by a physician. It is
thought that no bones were broken.

The Howe Great London Show is
coming and will be here on
day, October The announcement
that a show Is coming here carries
but little weight with it, as the town
has had many of them, but the an-
that the Howe Great
London Show is to be here means a
whole lot to every body. It means
that the very best aggregation now
touring the country is to be here, and
Is good news to all lovers of
modem up-to-the-minute amusement.
The arrangements for its coming have
been completed, and all that there
is to do now is to wait for the great
of the own special cars
to arrive. There are many of the
younger folks on the anxious seat,
but they are not the only ones who
arc anxiously waiting. The grown-
up over since the first intimation
of the coming was made have
been looking for it, and
will not be appeased until the parade
is on and the performance
under way.
The reputation for merit and mag-
r that tills show enjoys, coupled
with the many successful years that
it has catered to the amusement loving
people, has made its name a house-
hold one. It Is a name that the show
is proud of, and one that the people
the world over have learned they can
during the past decade that has
depend on. There is no show organ-
the reputation of tented
as has tho Howe Great
London Show. There is now show
that gives such an per-
and extends to its patrons
the same care. Its while

Is out of the question. The menagerie
is complete with the very rarest spec-

entirety the Howe Great London Show
is without an equal and a show that

COMFORT IN AMERICAN HOTEL
Caravansaries Surpass Those of Any
Other Nation of the Earth,
Opinion of One Writer.
I remember somebody once saying
to me a long time ago that the
cans had attained luxury by Jumping
over comfort. I think there Is a
amount of truth In this, and yet
It would be foolish to call American
hotels uncomfortable. They are not
uncomfortable. Only there is to
be That to some people all
hotel life Is uncomfortable. They hate
living In a crowd. They hate bustle,
confusion, noise, the arrival and de-
of people, etc. And there Is
certainly more hotel life In America
than In other countries. And yet what
a saving to the nerves, and to the
temper, are so many of the devices
and the arrangements in American
hotels. The telephone, for Instance.
It you want a nice test of temper, try
to get a number at the Hotel Cecil
In London; or, better still, spend a
happy morning In ringing up people
on the telephone In Paris. In America
It Is either done for you at once or
you know it cannot be done, and the
matter is settled. Hotel life In
ca seems to me infinitely better or-
than in any other country in
the world, with the possible exception
China. Because when you order
a room at a Chinese hotel, In a small
Chinese town, the room is built for
you while you wait; you choose the
style of room, and the paper, the car-
and all the furniture are put in

FELT HE WAS PASSED OVER
National Law There That Results In

An outstanding feature of the Bel-

farms. More than half of the Belgian
farms are less than an acre In size.
One cause of small farms In Bel-

is required that the property be

Why is Belgian land so It is
not so fertile as much of the land of
England or Germany, yet Is more val-
because there are some half mil-
lion Belgians who have the ability
to make land bear Interest on
the Investment They are able to do
this because they work hard and are
satisfied with little. Another reason
for the high price of land Is the keen
competition for it. Because of the
small pieces Into which It Is divided
land is constantly on the market and
there are always farm hands and rent-
who are eager to own a piece of
land for themselves, and so the price

Farmer.
In Persia one of the chief

In such a manner that It can hardly

This crudity comes from two

Promised People They
Should be Freed From
Duty.
Carrying out the pledges made
the people of Greenville township
during the campaign for the Issuance
of worth of bonds for the con-
and Improvement of roads
In the township, Mr. D. M. Clark,
representative from this county, has
drawn and introduced in the House
a bill relieving the farmers of the
township of all free road duty under
the conditions specified In the bill.
During the campaign that closed
with the election on July much of
the attack of the opposition was mads
on the ground that the Issuance of
the bonds would not free the farm-
from road duty, and In order to
prove that it would, the advocates
of the Issue promised the people tint
if the bond issue carried they would
see to It that a bill was put through
the extra session of the legislature
that would guarantee freedom from
road duty.
Now the legislature has convened,
and the bill given below has been in-
by Mr. Clark. The bill
plies to all bond Issues or special
tax levies going into effect during
the present year of 1913, and repeals
all laws In conflict with the bill as
at present drawn. Immediately after
the bill passes Its third reading it
will be effective, and there will be
no more free road duty In this town-
ship.

by Rev. C. M. Hock, of his travel
In the Holy Land, it had been an-
that at the evening
subject to be discussed would
be Jerusalem to Jericho; the
River Jordan and the Dead Sea.
In his own delightful manner, Mr.
Rock ably and interestingly told
the rich experiences that he had

He said that much the
city of Jerusalem, as it was in the
time of Christ, had been destroyed,
but that at the present time it has
a population of nearly Ruins
all of the principal buildings that
were made famous by the Bible still
remain, and these can be seen by the
traveler, and attract much attention
from tourists who visit the city
year. Mr. Rock said that be stood
on the Mount of Olives, very near t
the exact spot where Jesus stood
when be made his prophecy the
terrible destruction of the city, a
destruction which was wrought at
precisely tho same time and exactly
as Jesus said that it would happen.
The road from Jerusalem to
i Is very rough, and are no
railroads. The Journey has to be
In hacks, or on camels, or by
foot In traveling In hacks a part
of the road near has to be
passed over by foot, because of the
great danger in remaining in the

Of the old city that was
marched around seven times by the
children of Israel before the walls
fell, nothing Is left but the ruins of

this to see of the Jericho of the time
of Christ, and this holds a great deal
of Interest for the traveler. The city
of today Is situated many hundred
feet below the level of the
Sea, and Is one of the hottest
places on the earth.
Four miles below Jericho Is the
Dead Sea, the saltiest body of water
In the world. It Is a great Inland
sea that has never been explored but
one time. Its waters so sail
that a human cannot sink in
them and In many parts of It no bot-
tom has ever been found. Mr. Rock
had the experience of going In bath-
In these salt waters, and
that It was Impossible for one to sink
below tho shoulders. It Is forty-sever,
miles long, and at Its widest part
measures about ten with an
average width between five

ANTI-HOG CHOLERA
FOB HOG CHOLERA
The North Carolina Department of
Agriculture has for the past three
years prepared and distributed to
the farmers of this state anti-bog
cholera serum at cost of production.
This serum Is used as a
for hog cholera, and If Injected
before the hogs show any signs of
cholera, it will prevent them from
developing a case of cholera, even
if they are exposed. It is not claimed
for this serum that It will cure a
case of cholera, as It Is a
tire and not a curative measure.
We begun the preparation of this
serum In a very limited way and
have found that it met with mil-
formally good results. The demand
for It has continued to Increase
it was Impossible to meet the de-
at the plant where we first
begun the work. In order to be In
position to meet all demands made
by the farmers this state tor the
Serum, we have built and equipped
a large new serum plant which will
be used exclusively for preparing
cholera serum.

serum, apply to the North Carolina

tended the lecture of Mr. Karl

tire student body of tho school
present, and an large
of people from tho town went
out for tho exercises.
After a few words of Introduction
the speaker plunged Into the body of
his evening's lecture. He told In a
very Interesting manner of the kind
of people who were his ancestors,
and gave Interesting illustrations of
the character and nature of the ear-
sailors of Mr.

Norway, tho farthest north of any In
the world, a place where the Bun
never shines for months of the
year, and where the Christmas din-
Is eaten at darkest midnight
The speaker told of tho tests that
were made of tho young men In his
country, and showed how brave and
fearless they were in the face of
gravest danger.
Mr Jansen's Impersonation of the
character of character of Macbeth,
perhaps Shakespeare's most famous
and best known character, was all
that could asked for. The noted
Swede showed that he was equally
capable, whether acting the part of
some character, or In tell-
of his native home.
By special request the
and the was
repeated from last summer, and the
Immense audience greeted it with
fully as much enthusiasm as though
It had been entirely new to them.
Every one present was highly pleas-
ed with the evening's entertainment,
and was vividly Impressed with the
fact that Mr. Jansen is a master at
his trade. reception Monday
was by an audience almost, though
not by any means altogether, entire-
different from that which greeted
him on the occasion of his visit here
last July. Many of the town
who heard him last summer were
only too glad last night of
of being present for Mr.
Jansen's return engagement, and will
be glad to know of his at any
future time.

ADVERTISE SALE
OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HEADY
TO PLACE BONDS FOR THE
OF
ROADS.
Notices have been sent out by the
board of county ad-
the sale half of the
thousand dollars worth of bonds
voted by the people of Greenville
township on July The
have made all the arrange-
for the vale of these bonds
and are now notifying the public that
the bonds may be bought.
Advertisements will be placed
several of the big papers of the north,
and In one or two Instances In this
section of the country. It is believed
that no trouble will be experienced
in selling these bonds, the town-
ship is already bonded only to a very
small extent, and its credit Is good.
Fifty thousand dollars is said to be
a very small debt for a township the
size of Greenville to carry, and there
will probably be no trouble in paying
oft the bonds they become due.
Shortly after the election of July
an agitation was started for the is-
of portions of the issue at
time. This discussion seems to have
gained some support from the com-
missioners as they have ordered only-
half of the entire amount to be issue
at this time. By doing this, the com-
missioners will save the township
much interest that would have to
paid on the other half of the bonds.
Bids will be received until
1913, at ten o'clock in i.
morning, and all bids must be
by a certified check of
as a guarantee of good faith, and
this will be forfeited by the failure
of the bidder to comply with the bid
that he puts in. The commissioners
will reserve the right to reject any
and all bids that may be made for
any reason which they may have.
