GAY TIMES AT RIVERTON.
The Young People Having Good
Times in and on 'Lumbee"
River-Some of the Visitors.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.


This has been a gay and hap
py week in Riverton. There are
a great many visitors, and to
them 'Lumbee" river never
grows DID,.
On Tuesday evening a party
from Riverton went to Laurel |
Hill, a drive of about eight |
miles. They went 'hay-riding"
fashion and the ride there and
back was apart of the fun. Sup
per was served in the grove near
the school building and after
wards punch was enjoyed. Mr..
Roy Mcmillan, the matchless i'm
ltator, gave several selections;
also those given by Miss Onedah
Mcmillan were greatly enjoyed.
On Wednesday afternoon all
went to the river. Canoes are
plentiful and nearly everybody
swims. Some of the younger
girls distinguished themselves a
few days ago by swimming a
mile.
On Thursday evening the
Riverton young people enter
tanned a party from Laurel
Hill on the banks of the river,
complimentary to Miss Christine
Cover, of Clayton, who is visit
ing in the home of DR.. T. M.
Watson. The distinguishing feat
ure was a poem, as an acrostic,
on Lumbee river. The prize, a
sketch of the river, drawn by
Miss Matte Watson, was won by
Miss Cover, and presented by
Mr.. Roy Mcmillan. Refresh
ments were served bountifully
and each person was given as q
souvenir a card bearing a quota.

Turn on the Light.

To the Editor of The Robesonian.
| see it stated in The Rcbeson-
ian that the Democratic execu-
tive committee has declared for a
primary for the purpose of NOM
mating the various county Off
GERS, and at the same time pass
ed a resolution against any
canvass before the primary. 1t
also appears that five or six
members of this committee, in
Guiding the chairman, are can
didates for Office. l understand
that at least two members of the
committee, Mr.. McEachern and
Mr. Mcleod, ask for the support
of the voters of Robson conuty
in order that they may be vindi-
Gated of various and sundry
charges made against them by
the board of audit and finance.
It seems to me if they are inno-
cent Of these charges they would
have been glad of an opportun-
ity to turn on the light" and
tell the people all about these
various transactions. If the
charges are untrue, as they say
they are, they not only owe to
themselves, but they owe it to
the Democratic party, to prove
these charges false. If they are
successful in their "still-hunt" for
office the Democratic party will
be the loser and they themselves
will still be under he same cloud
that now hangs dark and threat
ening above their heads. So say,
gentlemen, in all seriousness;
come out from behind your i'll
advised resolution, meet your
accusers face to face and turn
on the bright light, and if, as
you say, there is no skeleton in
the closet you will be perfectly
safe i'll the open.
cannot think the good people
of upper Robson will take the
advice of one Mr.. Chisholm
who seems to endose corrupt
practices and immortality on the
ground that all are guilty. AL
are not guilty. l have a very
exalted opinion ofthe good peo
pie of Robson county and fee
sure that such sentiments as ht
expresses will be resented at tht
polls at the coming primary; anC
after the 10th of September nom
will be before the Democrati
party asking for her support VIII
would for a moment endorse tn,
sentiments he expresses.

What's an Inch of Rain?

Philadelphia Bulletin.
The rain fell in buckets, the
thunder racketed terribly, and
the lightning drew zigzag lines
of bright gold upon the violet
sky.

an inch of rain is exactly said
the weather clerk, as he looked
at his rain measuring instrument.
Very few people do, it seems.
I'll explain it to you.
AN acre is 6,272,640 square
inches An inch Of water on ar
acre is therefore 6,272, $40 cubic
inches. That amount, at 22I
cubic inches to the gallon, equals
$4,000 gallons, or220, ,G00pounds

words, rain falling at the rate o:
