Dr. Spilman is always gladly heard and his messages are full of cheer and help. Cameron Would Help Idle.

John E. Cameron, State highway commissioner for this district. is advocating immediate launching of projects held in suspension after approval. Cameron believes conditions are altogether favorable, both as to material costs and the labor supply. "Many jobless men could be given employment now and business stimulated by road-building activities," in his opinion.

Details of Wooten's Death Still Unknown. Relatives of George Wooten, formerly of Craven County, Wednesday were still without information as to the cause of his death at Hawthorne, Monday. Wooten was a resident of Crescent City, that State. Telegrams received here told only of the "killing" of Wooten Monday and the departure of the body for this city. Burial will take place in Maplewood Cemetery here.

Something of Building Spurt. Local contractors believe a building boom will come in the spring involving the erection of a number of dwellings and possibly business structures. Both are badly needed. Reduction of lumber prices here has encouraged many prospective homeowners to plan for early consummaItion of their hopes. The fifty per cent.

cut in lumber prices will be followed by encouraging reductions in other building material lines, buildors believe. Happer Confident. has served as a member of the Board of Aldermen and municipal treasurer. He is a professional auditor and is familiar, he states, with the city's financial condition. He is known to nave a number of backers in business and fraternal order circles.

Library Report. The librarian of the Kinston Public Library has tendered the following report for November: Receipts: Appropriation, $25; subscriptions, rent for books, fines, 52 cents; for lost book, 10 cents; total, $34.62. Paid out: October deficit, rent, librarian's salary, $15; for sweeping, total, $34.56. Balance, 6 cents. The detailed ed report for December, not yet received at this office, will show a larger balance to the library's credit, the institution having found many new friends in recent weeks.

Textile World Looking Up. Local merchants who were represented on a big market recently when dry goods preies were fixed say that a spirit of uncertainty existed prior to the announcement of prices, but that since then advances have tended to prove that the textile industry is rapidly attaining a stable basis. Everywhere mills are resuming operations or increasing working schedules. Advances have not been material and were warranted when compared with prices of other goods. For the benefit of all concerned, including the consumer, stabilization in this particular line is one of the things most devoutly to be desired just now.

CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank our friends for the many courtesies and kindnesses extended during the recent illness and death of our father, John W. Harrell. THE CHILDREN. Dly 1-12, 13.
