robson PENSIONERS.
Now 299 on Roll in County
Fifty-Four Added at Meetings
of Pension Board Last Month.

Two meetings of the pension
board of Robson county were
held last month, on the 5th and
26th. The board is composed of
Capt. Tom McBryde, of Blue
Springs township; Mr.. J. S:
Thompson, ofBritt' s township;and
Capt. W. H. Graham, ofRowland.
Prior to the first Of these two
meetings there were on the pen
sion roll of the county IT'S men
and 70 women. OF this number
! 8 men and one woman are dead.
At the meetings last month %
men and 81 women were added
to the roll, making the total num-
Der deducting the number dead
$50 men and 100 women.
AS stated in the report given in
The Robesonian Of the meeting
held July 5, the increase in the
number of women is due largely
to the fact that the last Legisla-
ture changed the law in regard
to widows, allowing pensions to
those married up to 1868, instead
of 1865, as heretofore. All added
this year are in the fourth class,
neutrality-suspicious. of $25 the year,
except one in the first class, re-
ceiving $72 per year, and one
blind, who receives$10per month.

MRS. r. c.. INMAN.
Death of a Good Woman
Among the Sick at Marietta.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
A feeling of the deepest sorrow
and regret was cast over Mari
eta and this entire section on
the 22d of July when Mrs. R. G.
lnman quietly passed away. She
had been i'll for three weeks and
the immediate cause of her death
was typhoid fever. Her remains
were laid to rest in the family
burying ground.
Mrs. lnman turned to Christ
in early life and was a member
of the Pleasant Grove Baptist
church.
Mrs. Inman was a good Chris
tan woman ard was greatly
loved by all who knew her. She
leaves one sister, husband, and
five small children to mourn her
demise. The many friends who
were present to pay their last
sad respects to a departed friend
attested the high esteem in which
she was held. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful.
Our hearts pour out with love
and sympathy for the bereaved
family. 1t is bad on the little
girls to be left without a mother,
although they are all very smart,
intelligent girls and we all hope
to see them do we'll.
The little daughter of Mr.. R.T.
Inman, who has been i'll for some
time with fever in the hospital at
Lumberton, was taken back home
yesterday. Glad to know she is
improving.
Mr.. w. P.Oliver, who has been
sick for several days, is improv-
ing. Mr.. John Hamilton is right
sick but hope he will soon be out
again.
Mrs. A. B. Oliver, who has
been right sick for few days,
is out again.
Crops are looking fine and
prosperous in this section and
curing tobocco will soon be over.

A Case of Pellagra in Lu mber

SOn.
Mrs. Oliver Britt, who lives in
the Lumberton Cotton Mills vii
lage, has a well-developed case
of pellagra, the disease which is
supposed to be caused from eat
ing bread made of mouldy meal.
DR.. T. c. Johnson is her physi-
clan. Very little is really known,
it seems, about the disease, its
cause and cure. 1t first mani
tests itself on the extemities,
either the hands or feet, in the
form of a scale.
Mrs. Britt's condition seems
improved now, but it is said to be
the nature of the disease during
its progress to the final stages
for the patient to show at times
decided Improvement.

This word is used by people coming
to us perhaps more than under any 9TH
er conditions. The meaning of this
word is plain to us all, and when you
hear it you know what it means.
Something is not clear, a mist, cloudy,
smoky, shady, and as some say inly, a
little obscured. All these words are
familiar to us, they come to US in COM
plants or expressions of trouble.
Brought about by poor eyesight, or as
it is usually expressed, erything has

Governor Warner renewed his recon-
mendstion that = law for the regulation
Of private banks be enacted, and also
recommended the enactment Of strin-
gent law for the regulation Of stock
brokers.
The legislature was informed that
since the creation Of the state highway
department, 826 miles Of state reward
road have been built in Michigan and
the forty additional counties will vote
in April on the adoption Of the system,
twenty-six counties now being under
the law. The legislative appropria-
tions thus far made on this account
have aggregated $3.50, 900. While
strongly commencing the work, Gov.
Warner urged that the law be amended
so as to limit the liability Of the state
in any one year on account Of the COM
pletion Of roads for which applications
may be accepted.
The result of the first seasons oper-
alton Of the jackson prison binder
Irvine plant established by the last leg
islature has been gratifying. 1t not
only reduced the price Of Irvine to
farmers who purchased their supplies
from the state, but to all Michigan u.s.
ers in that the competition of the state
plant forced the Irvine trust to reduce
its price. Further than this, the gov
ernor showed that after making the
usual charge off for depreciation of the
plant and crediting the eighty convicts
therein with ten per cent of |
the net earnings as required by law,
the enterprise netted the state $1.54
per day for each convict's labor. This
s about three times the revenue of the
