BAsHFUL COUPLE oScULATES
WHILE WAITING FOR JUSTICE

A couple. youthful and bashful, en-
tered the little side room of Justice
Pierce's court yesterday and while
awaiting the appearance of the JUS
tice with his power to join them in
wedlock, held hands and gazed with
loving admiration into each others
faces. II don't think you love me as
you used to-" the young woman was
heard to say in a subdued voice.
"Why?" asked the youth, lazily, as
If the question had been asked many
times.
Because you dpp't kiss me like you
did"
"How's that?" asked the youth.
"This way" and they remained silent
so long that the listener tired of wait
ing and went away.

the panic that has so greatly af-

it is easing up and business is
progressing finely.

pretty white sand; one church,

In 1872 there was a great deal
of diarrhoea, dysentery and ChOl-

time that Chamberlain's Collie,

was first brought into use. It
proved more successful than any
other remedy or treatment, and
has for thirty-fve years main
tanned that record. From a
small beginning it's sale and use
has extended to every part of the

Correspondence of The Robesonian
We never see much in your
paper of our town and COM
munity, but nevertheless we
feel we live in the garden spot
of Robson county; of course
other places feel the same.
Now, we will take our town
only a very few years ago. 1t
was nothing but a small station,
one store and postoffice. Think
of it to-day-five handsome brick
buildings, four of which have
been erected this year! Also
this year there has been bank
established here, also many hand
some residences have been erect
ed. Our town also has an ex-
cellent school and four churches
Presbyterian, Baptist and
Methodist and one colored church
one Masonic hall, one w. O. w.
hall, one sales stable, one livery
stable, one excellent hotel and
a few boarding houses. But
we want to say something of
trucking and farming here. AS
to the trucking: about 500 acres
of watermelons, so acres OF
cantaloupes, 100 acres in early
corn, 10 acres in tomatoes, q
good many acres in English
peas, potatoes, beans, cucumbers,
onions and pepper have been
shipped from here this season.
| Not only is truck farming done
here, but other farming is done
very extensively. l will mention
a few of our farmers: DR.. H. w
McNatt, with 200 acres in cotton
with no disaster will make 2OC
bales, and he says his corr
is better this year than
few years ago, when it mad,
: about &c bushels per acre. Anoth
: er large farmer is ]. B. McCor
1 mick, with about 200 acres in cot
ton that will make 200 bales if i
continues doing we'll. He ais
e has fine corn, etc. Also Mr.. II
Y G. Mcmillan has about $50 acre
a in cotton that will make Z of
bale per acre. Then there ar
Messrs. Frank Jones, A. Lancas
ter, D. W. Marsh, ]. B. Malloy
7. w. Thompson, M. F. Under
wood, A. A. Wright, Neil M
70 Neil, and many others who hav
excellent crops.
This is fast becoming a gres
trucking centre. 1t has the az
~ vantage of most places, being O
% the main line of the A. C. L. T
E 2 R. and on the Bennettsville an
70 Fayetteville R. R., and we hoI
~ the railroad from Lumberton wi
- connect here with the A. C.. L.
- and it looks now like it is poss
# BILE that it will. Truckers he
;C can ship direct to Northern ma
10 kets without any change {
transfer, which places our true
1e on Northern markets very earl
). 1t is the same with the Southel
Is markets, as the early crops a
shipped North and the late cro]

JUDGE NEAL COMMENDED.
Mecklenburg Citizen Expresses
His Appreciation For the
Manly Stand of Judge Neal
in Suppressing Lawlessness
Our Criminal Law Bad,

From The Charlotte Observer
Allow me to join you in thank |
ing Judge Neal for the manly |
stand he has taken against law
lessness. Civil law is the great
bulwark of civil liberty, and the
main safeguard of human life.
The courts are only the executors
Of the law, and it bodies no good
to community when the people
have lost confidence in the law
and respect for the courts. But
that our people are fast coming
to this condition is manifest on
every hand. What mean those
crowds of hundreds of men, that
keep gathering at the house of
Morris every few days? Simply
this and nothing more: They
know that a foul murder has
been committed and they intend
to punish the perpetrator of that
crime as soon as theysare sure Of
their man. Now the trouble is
not with the courts, but with
the law. However upright our
judges may be land most of our
judges are honest upright mem
they cannot execute justice on
the worst of criminals because
their hands are tied by our wick
ed criminal laws. If an ordinary
criminal is brought into court,
he is tried by a jury that has
been selected by our county
commissioners on account of
their fitness to do justice be-
tween the accused and the State,
that is between the accused and
the law-abiding citizens. But if
a desperate, who has murdered
his neighbor in cold blood, is
brought into court, he must
have special privileges. He
shall not be tried by the regular
jurors who have been selected on
account of their fitness to dc
justice. Oh no, he shall not be
tried by these men, but the
) sheriff must bring in 100 new
l men from whom he shall be al
lowed to choose a jury. AnC
: why is this? Because, as every.
, body knows, out of hundred
men, selected at random you car
almost always find one or two
who would not agree to hang
any man, no matter what crime
I he had committed. Now tn,
: Divine law says that whose shed
u deth mans blood by man shal
:; his blood be shed. And the in
u nate consciousness of mankin,
+ says this is right. But our Law
IL in effect says you shall not ham,
any man if he has money. Tn
+ truth is. our criminal law is S
e very bad that it is not strang
that the people have lost conf
7 dence in the law and respect fo
X the courts that attempt to enforc
:. it. 1t would seem needless t
n add that our laws viii! never b
T any better so long as we sen
- lawyers to the Legislature.

State Assistance to Owners of
Timber Lands.

1t is the desire of the North
Carolina Geological and Economic
Survey to assist land owners to
make their timber lands profta-
BILE. 1t is difficult, however, to
give satisfactory directions for
the management of timber lands
by letter on account of the differ
ent conditions existing in every
piece of woodland. For this rea-
son the State Forester will per-
sonally examine lands when re-
quested to do so by the owners,
provided there are at least five
hundred acres at one place to be
examined. The acreage need not
necessarily belong to one person.
The Forester will give the own
ers advice and prepare plans for
them showing the best methods
of cutting and'protecting the tim
Der in order to make the yields
more profitable.
The future value of forests can
be greatly increased by better
methods of management, this be-
ing especially true of hardwood
forests. One-tenth of all the prop.
erty in theaState consists of tim.
Der lands and of industries which
are dependent upon them, anc
nearly one-third of the total area
of the State is still in forest land,
a considerable portion of which
is not suitable for farming pur
poses. 1t is to the advantage O:
the land owners who have tim
Der lands that cannot at once be
cleared or which could never b,
proftably cultivated that thes,
be put in the best possible con
dition for profitable timbe
growth. There is little or n
profit in producing cord wood fo
sale (although every farme
should produce enough for hi:
own use); but desirable kinds o
timber that have not reache
their full growth will steadily in
crease in amount of timber an
; there is apt to be a gradual bu
steady advance in it's price.

! garding assistance, address tn

Revival at Singletary's x Roads
Church.

10 The Editor of The Robesonian:
Our meeting of days began
July 10th and closed the 9th.
Rev. ]. L. Shinn, of Marsh
vile, did most Of the preaching,
to the delight Of all, and we were
sorry he could not stay until the
end; but he very greatly endear-
ed himself to the people and all
will be glad to have him come
Our way again.
There were seven baptized,
four reclaimed, two dismissed
by letter; and a back door was
opened through which one went
out; but perhaps the most mag
unanimous thing which took place
was the coming together of two
very prominent brethren who
unfortunately became alienated
some few years ago over bust
ness difficulty. The blessed
Christ let US have a foretaste of
heaven when at the pastors ear
nest appeal to them they came
forward and at the altar took
each the others hand, thereby
making peace between them
selves.
1t is a great pity that so many
of the Lords people will not
obey Him! If they would just
stop and consider the harmful
results of such conduct there
would more of them be found do.
ing as the above two brethren
did.
To God the Father be glory
and praise.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity, Catarrh being a con-
stitutional disease, requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
tion of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietcrs have so much
