Hardly a day passes but what people coming to town say they have been told this and that about the It is now said to be circulated over the county that a record is kept of all purchases made at the and that monthly or quarterly the names of all purchasers will be published. Why any one should circulate such a false report we are unable to see, unless it is that they want to deceive the people. To show that the report is false we publish following extract from the shall be the duty of the man- ager to keep a register, on which be kept a record of the names of persons t whom any liquors are sold, the sold, price paid. and date of sale; provided further that said register shall be open only to the inspection of the dispensary board and its employees, and the contents thereof shall not be publish- The foregoing is clear enough for an; one to understand. The law r. ; only says the names shall not HUSHED, but also that the register can only be inspected by those with the dispensary. work goes right on.

NOT EVERY BOY AND GIRL SHOULD TO COLLEGE. We long to surrender the notion that all boys and girls should be sent to one college. We have seen not a few that should not have been sent to any college. There is a large class of boys who will learn will develop more rapidly at work than at school. Send them to school and they will become loafers. There are others they are who take classical or literary ed- and who have no use what- ever for it, but who may mightily by or cal training. We are glad that farming is becoming popular again, and that young men are finding out that is at once one of the greatest, most fascinating and profit- able studies. Likewise there is great practical and educational value in the mechanic trades, and many young men will find preparation in them more likely to make men of them than the mere study of books. We do not hesitate, therefore, to ad- vise some parents to put their boys to and others to give them a strictly practical education in the A. and M. Re- corder. It Was a Finisher. Too rain.

Bethel N. C, July 30th. 1904. Editor There are some things in regard to the candidacy of T. G. Britton who offers to represent the people of Pitt county in the house of that the voters of the county ought to know. He is a young man of exceptionally good character and would not only render efficient service as a legislator, but his amicable disposition, strength and high moral char- would easily put him in front ranks of the and most law makers of our State. Mr. Britton not only graduated with honors from Chapel Hill, but per- he has the highest of faculty. Pitt county has reasons to con- herself upon having such a representative, and especially as the success of any people largely depends upon the character of their representatives. As Mr. Britton, however, is a comparative stranger to some of the voters of the county I feel that the foregoing facts are really due to ill concerned Bethel.
