Some time ago it was announc-
ed that the Laetare medal, given
annually by the University of
Notre Dame to some member of
the Catholic Church for notable
services in the realm of art or
letters, had been awarded this
year to Mrs. Frances Fisher Tier
nan, of Salisbury, known to the
literary world as Christian Reid.
The medal was presented to Mrs.
Herman Monday Afternoon at St.
Mary's College at Belmont, Cas-
ton county, in the presence of a
large company of friends and
students of the institution. In a
sketch of her life which was
published in Tuesdays Charlotte
Observer DR.. Archibald Hender-
son, of the University of North
Carolina, says that Christian
Reid enjoys the distinction of be-
ing the most notable novelist
North Carolina has ever produc-
ed, alike in the quality of her art
and the extent of her achieve
ment." She has written a num-
Der of novels, her first, Valerie
Aylmer' being published in 1870.
Her Land of The Sky, publish
ed in 1876, made the mountains
OF North Carolina famous; her
play Under The Southern
Gross, presented in Lumberton
recently, has been presented in
a number of towns throughout
the South. Christian Reid is not
as well known to North Carolina
readers as the merit of her works
would warrant.

A Model Farm.

Rowland Sun.
There are around Rowland,an
even in town, some beautiful
and some that might be called
model farms. The writer went
over a part of one of these a few
days ago. It was the farm of
Mr.. G. L. Robertson. This farm
is not a large one, but you will
find on it almost any crop that
grows in this section. Besides
corn, cotton and tobacco. the
standard crops, he has wheat,
oats, rye, Strawberries, dewber-
ries, cabbage and probably 9TH
er things. He has one of the
best orchards we have seen, and
if nothing happens he will make
an enormous fruit crop this year.
The trees of all kinds are loaded.
In addition to the field crop, we
noticed in the yard a large crop
of young chickens, many of them
nearly large enough to fry.

DISGRACEFUL AND DAN
GEROUS.

If the sanitary officers of Lum-
berton do not get busy in down.
. right earnest and see that the
town is cleaned up thoroughly
and kept clean it will be a mira
Gle if heavy penalty is not paid
in human life. Mayor Rowland
has set apart yesterday, today
and tomorrow as cleanup days,
but there is nothing at the time
this is written to indicate that
the cleaning will be very
thorough. The conditions that
obtain now and have obtained for
some time are a disgrace to the
town, no less, and naturally there
is considerable sickness all over
town. A gentleman remarked
on the street the other night
that the town has not been in
such a condition in years. In
many places about over town
the air is polluted by stencil
from filth. On Elm street re-
Gently a pile of rottiag vegeta-
bles and fruit was allowed to
stand for some ten days, and
that is but sample of the way
the matter of keeping the town
clean has been neglected.
One wonders, too, why the
town authorities do not compel
property owners who are in
reach of water lines to connect
with the sewerage system that
has been installed at great cost
to the town. Any man who owns
property is able to do this and he
has no moral or any other sort of
right to make his premises a
nuisance to people near by who
have put in water works.
We are not an alarmist, we
have never cried wolf when
there was no wolf, and we
respectfully submit that the
condition that obtains now
all over town is simply disgrace
full and dangerous. 1t is up to
the sanitary officers.

East Lumberton News Notes.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Limited space forbids more
than a passing mention of the
school close. Prof. A. B. Mercer
and his two assistants, Miss
Humphrey and Mrs. Gillespie
deserve much credit for their
successful term and we hope
they may be elected for the
next year. At the close they
gave the children a picnic which
was very much enjoyed. Just a
week previous to this Prof. Mer-
Ger had arranged a beautiful
programme, which was very
gracefully carried out by the
school and to the delight of all
present. A good-sized basket
well filled with lucious fruit was
to be by popular vote awarded
to the prettiest young lady in
school and Mr.. w. H. Kinlaw,
OF the Lumberton bar, was
chosen as auctioneer. Miss Ethel
Taylor, who received more than
1900 votes, was awarded the
prize, but Miss Nellie Wall was
a close competitor, with more
than 100. Mr.. Kinlaw made a
brilliant speech, and at the close
Prof. j. R. Poole, our clever and
popular superintendent of pub
lie instruction, delighted the au-
dlence with a most happy and
encouraging speech.
Prof Mercer realized about $50
as a result of his tireless efforts
to give the people this entertain
ment. We note with pleasure
that this neat little sum secures
for the school rural library and
amply meets some other exigen-
cies. We lift our hat to the
company for providing such a
magnificent and comfortable
building.
Mrs. Matte Crib has our
sympathy IN the death of her
sweet little three-year-old girl,
which occurred last week.
Our revival of eight DAYS came
to a close Sunday night. The
interest was exceptionally good
from the first and the order was
most excellent. Rev. Mr.. Craig
very graciously exalted the
blessed Christ and preached the
Gospel with telling effect. He
greatly endeared himself to our
people in demonstrating his
ability as a sane and thoroughly
consecrated preacher. A Very
conservative estimate of the
number in attendance upon the
last service was 300. AS a re-
suit of Mr.. Craig's ministry
among us Is were added to the
church by baptism and 3 bv
restoration, with others to fol-
low, and the church wonder
FULL encouraged. We shall hail
with delight his coming again.

AUTO ORDINANCE NOW
IN WORKING ORDER

j. P. Lynch, examiner of chauffeurs.
yesterday completed his examination of
applicants for chauffeur s licenses. and
from now on there will be only an oc-
casional would-be motorist to be
quizzed. Over 500 persons called on
the examiner and received the neces-
sarv credentials before the expiration
of the days of grace allowed in the
new ordinance.
The traffic ordinance is now in eff
feet, and the police are trying to i'm
press upon motorists the necessity for
observing its provisions. No arrests
have been made as yet, drivers being
allowed little time to become accus.
toned to the new order of things. The
chief trouble so far has been in en-
forcing the section relative to the d.
rection in which machines lined ND
alongside the curb shall face. These
ears must be ON the right hand side
of the street and must face forward.
Searching on Kalakaua road has dimin-
ished to noticeable extent, and the
police report general desire on the
part of auto drivers to comply with the
law.

MAKE BRICKS
WITHOUT STRAW
What Attorney Lightfoot Claims
Prosecution Wants Him
to Do.

F'It is all a part of the effort to get
these defendants into Jail by hook or
by crook. It shows to what lengths the
Territory Of Hawaii will go-or rather
to what lengths the special prosecutors
will go, proclaimed Attorney j. Light
foot before Judge Robinson yesterday.
Mr.. Lightfoot was arguing in sup
port of d motion he had just made for
the discharge of the respondents in the
contempt ease-Makino, Negoro and
their associates.
Sidney Ballou at once objected to
the statement .'We are not special
prosecutors in this ease,'' he said, ssnor
are we the Territory Of Hawaii
1t all amounts to the same thing"
responded Lightfoot, referring, of
course, to his belief that although the
firm of Kinney, Ballou, prosser and
Anderson is in this instance appear
ing as the representatives of the Oahu
Sugar Company, the contempt proceed
ings are part of the campaign against
Maxine and the other strike leaders.
''We are asked to make bricks with
out straw" continued Lightfoot. 1--WE
can t do it, for We have only one straw,
this poor dew, this poor fellow,
Oyama.
Early yesterday morning Lightfoot
presented his motion for the discharge
of the respondents in the matter of the
order to show cause, on the ground
that the prosecutors had not succeeded
in making out any case against them.
He argued the matter all afternoon,
scoring the prosecution numerically
for its tactics, which he said were
merely etfsrts to get the strike leaders
in jail by hook or by crook. The tenn
porary injunction, he said, was issued
on July 8, "doubtless for the purpose
of getting these people in Jail on the
10th for contempt Of court, for hardly
was the ink of Your Honor s sigma
ture dry before they set their machin-
cry to work TO get the leaders of the
strike before Your Honor for contempt
OF court-just the leaders, mark you,
just the leaders,
Lightfoot contended that the whole
matter of jurisdiction was most irregu-
lar. The compliments had nothing to
base their cause upon except suppose
lions and the unreliable testimony of
Oyama-their one straw out of which
the defense was supposed to make
brick.
Lightfoot was interrupted several
times with questions propounded by
Prosser, and the replies were of a very
caustie nature. His argument was not
finished when court adjourned for the
day, but he stated that he expected
to finish in a. very short time. MIR.
Prosser says he expects to take only
about ten minutes to reply.
