Ready To Give Up In Despair

Il was sick, rundown and finally
had to give up work. After trying a
number of remedies and several physi-
clans, was just about ready to give up
in despair. | saw Vinol advertised
and decided to try it, and it has done
more good for me than all other means
combined. 1t has built me up and re-
stored my strength until l now feel
twenty years younger, and am able to
attend to my work again as usual. )"

The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because it contains tonic

it played to a very small au-

Lumberton people had no idea
what an excellent play it is, and

Messrs. Caldwell & Carlyle are
Rounding Out a Quarter of a
Century of Business Life.

On Thursday of this week
Messrs. Caldwell & Carlyle will
begin running a page advertise
ment in The Robesonian telling
of their 25th anniversary. Twen-
ty-five years ago, in January, 1883,
Messrs. Caldwell & Carlyle began
business with a $2500 stock in
an old wooden building which
stood on the corner where their
present elegant stores stand,
then known as the Blake corner.
They started with no clerks, at
tending to all the business them
selves, and the growth of their
business has been steady and
continuous. Today they occupy
four store rooms, besides their
warehouses, carry a 100000
stock and employ 21 people-14
men and 7 ladies.
Wide awake and progressive
always, they have kept pace
with the growth of the town, anC
in celebrating the 25th anniver
sary of their start in business
they feel commendable pride
in what they have accomplished
in the magnitude of the business
they have built up. When the!
started in business their stock O
$2500 was well-nigh as big fo
Lumberton as THEN $100, ,00(
stock is for Lumberton today.

NIT' W. L. SWdhSOl, NOu1IJ
Organizer of the Farmers
Union, to Organize Local Un-
ions in Robson.
Mr.. w. T. Swanson, of Young
Harris, Ca, county organizer Of
the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union of America
more briefly known simply as
the Farmers Union-begins Or
ganizing local Farmers Unions
in Robson county this week.
Mr.. Swanson came to Lumberton
Friday from Caldwell county,
which he has just finished or
ganizing.
Briefly, the purpose of the
Farmers Union is to furnish cot
ton and wool directly to the man
ufacturer, cutting out exchanges
and thus giving the producer the
benefit Of the elimination Of the
middle man. 1t makes its own
fertilizers and sells to farmers
for about half the price charged
for the trust product, thereby
saving to the farmer the trusts
profits. It also makes its own
farming implements, cutting out
trust profits on those, and has
other features of advantage to
farmers.
Thirty-eight counties have beer
organized in North Carolina since
work was begun in this State ir
September last year. 1t is Mr.
Swanson's purpose to spend two
or three months, or as long as
may be necessary, in Robesor
county, organizing the county
Systematically. He will go int
every white school district in thu
county and will organize loca
unions in every district.
In mentioning Mr.. Swanson'
work in this State, The Carroll
ma Union Farmer, the organ o:
the Farmers Union in this State
in it's issue ofJune 25th, says: H
J (Mr. Swanson) came from hi
: home in Georgia to North Caro-
, lima last December and began
J organizing in Union county i
5 the latter part of that month
/ He has organized more local IN
ions in North Carolina during tn
past six months that any othe
organizer in the field. He set u
over so local unions in Unio
county and is now at work i
Anson county. One secret c
D Mr.. Swanson's success in organ
izing is that which is essenti;
o to success in anything-the dt
termination and tenacity thu
holds him down to his job till
is completed"
y AS stated above, Mr.. SWansC
i will begin his work in this coul
Il ty this week, probably at Per

y written he has not had opportu
- ity to map out his line Of wol
for the county.

Worlds Marks Set in Hurdle,
Hammer Throw and 2,4OO=
Yard Relay.

Three worlds records were estab-
lished at the New York Athletic Club
games at Madison Square Garden last
night. Forest Smithson, champion
hurdler and sprinter, formerly of Port
land, Ore, twice peat the worlds mark
in the 7O-yard high hurdle race. Matt
McGrath, the worlds champion ham
mer thrower of the New York A. c.,
established d new record, throwing the
56-pound weight for height, and the
Twenty-third Regiment relay team
hung up q new mark in the 2,400-yard
relay race.
Smithson captured his heat in eight
and four fifth seconds and o the
final in min seconds, each time clipping
n fraction of a second from the record
of nine and one-fifth seconds, made by
Chase in 1894. McGrath hurled the
huge weight 10 feet Z inches, beating
the mark of Is feet 63s inches, made
by James Mitchell in 1897. Dan Meyers,
Harry Sedley, Tad" White and
Charles Bacon, for the Brooklyn regi-
ment, covered the 2,400 yards in five
minutes six and four-ifth seconds,
beating the mark of five minutes eleven
and two-ffth seconds, established last
year at Celtic Park by nearly five Soc
onds.
Amid thunderous applause from the
crowd, Harry Hillman, the famous low
hurdler of the New York Athletic Club,
defeated Guy Haskins, the former Uni
versity of Pennsylvania middle dis
tance champion, in the 600-yard special
race, the feature event of the night.
Hillman drew the pole, and as the pis-

There was nothing doing in the line of
baseball yesterday, Connie Mack decid-

days of hard work. The day was spent
in various ways.

received requests yesterday from Gulf
port and Mobile, the former asking for
a game on Saturday, the latter wanting
a contest for Sunday. Connie accepted
and will SEND the Yanigans to fill the
engagement, keeping the Regulars
here. The entire party will meet at
Mobile at noon on Monday as the stay
in the Crescent City will end on Mon
day morning, when the camp will move
to Mobile.
This addition to the exhibition series
will give the new men a chance to work
against a strange team. Oldring is not
yet in condition to play and may be of
little use until the team returns to

their favorite, Hillman began to squirt.
Like a bullet from a rifle he sped after
the leader, and before a hundred yards
had been run he caught Haskins, and.
rounding next to the last turn, gained
the lead, which he held to the end,
winning easily by three yards. AS
Hillman crossed the line a cheer broke
from the crowd that could be heard
blocks away.
Melvin Shepard won the 1,000-yard in
vitation event in easy fashion. OPP
posed to him We're Charles Bacon, of
the Irish-American A. c., Carl Walther
n William Berker, of the New York
Athletic Club. Shepard took the lead
at the start and romped along
about two yards in front of the field.
A hundred and fifty yards from the
finish he began his squirt, and with
every stride increased his lead, until at
the end he was more than fifteen yards
in front. Bacon and Walther fought
hard for second honors. At the finish

SOUNDS GOOD, BUT

other clubs. The Tri-State was a
thorn in organized baseball for a time,
but it eventually had to bow to the
viii of the trust"
Then what happened? The players
who had jumped contracts were eNiled
TO the Tri-State League for all time.
What next? The Tri-State clubs, real
izing that those players would have to
play for. them if they played at all,
Just wiped out those old-time war sal
aries, and some of the men who for
merly received as much as $500 a month
have been offered $3.50 for this season.
A third reason that will prevent the
Union League from establishing a firm
foothold, so far as the calibre OF its
ball players is concerned, is the repu-
tation of it's president, AL Lawson, a
sly old fox, but a mar tabooed wher-
ever organized baseball has a hold.
From what is known of Lawson he
has always looked after his W in
~terests only and permitted his league
to take care of itself. He showed HIS
colors again in the little AtlanHc
League last season.
Lawson went into Reading. His team
was a winner and the town was the
best paying city in the league. Other
clubs. less fortunate, had to lean upon
Reading for support. The receipts
taken in at Reading helped to pay the
salaries of the visiting teams.
But during the winter months Law
son quietly sought other fields, and
when he had launched his Union
League boom he coolly deserted his At
lantic League associates.
A story is told of another little Law
son trick, played in the little town OF
North Adams, Mass. A prominent
ha sehal man declared that Lawson
there sold several hundred season tick
cts. He organized ia team, but it
proved to be a poor money-maker'
After a few weeks Mr.. Lawson sud-
denly disappeared.
The team, being without a hacker,
disbanded and the fans who had given
up their hard-earned cash Tor season
tickets, had that much pasteboard for
their expense. That's why good play
ers are not scrambling to enlist under
the Union League banners.
