SOIL SURVEYS.
Congressman Goodwin Has Sc
cured an Order for a Survey
, of Cumberland Robeson's
Soil Map to be Ready Soon.


Congressman H. L. Goodwin
has secured an order from ;the
Bureau Of Soils for survey, of
another county in his district.
During the past two years he has
had survey made of Robson
county, and the map and report
will be available for distribution
within a few weeks. The order
for the new survey is for Cum
berland county, which will be
undertaken about the first of J1
ly of this year.
1t is very difficult matter to
get agreements with the Bureau
of Soils to undertake surveys of
counties on account of the fact
that there are so many applica-
tons from members of Congress
throughout the country for these
surveys. Mr.. Goodwin is deeply
gratified at the fact that he has
secured the promise for this sur
vey to be started early this sum-
mer. 1t will take about two
years to make the survey, and
will require $1,000 to complete
the work, which amount the Bu-
reau of Soils has appropriated
for this purpose. The Depart
ment will send a corps of engin-
GERS there to survey every acre
of land in the county and make
examination of the soil; the re-
port and survey will be publish
ed in book form, and there will
also be published a large map of
the county, which will afford
complete method of advertising
the county. Full information
and particulars in reference to
the work will be given out when
the corps of engineers go to
Cumberland to begin work.
Not only has Mr.. Goodwin been
unceasing in his efforts for Cum
berland and Robson, but he is
also making an effort to get the
Bureau of Soils to agree to I'M
dertake surveys in the other
counties in his district. He hopes
at some time in the near future
to be able to begin this work in
the other counties.

VOICE OF NIAGARA MUTE.
The Falls Frozen Over and the
SNlusic of the Rushing Waters
Silent for Second Time.


The voice Of Niagara was mute

The river Is frozen from bank to
bank.
On Wednesday of last week
the worst male Of the season and
the m0st violent in the history of
the weather bureau for April was
recorded. The solid ice fields of
Lake Erie were churned from
end to end and piled in huge
conC!omcraye mass at the lower
end Of the lake.
At Niagara Falls there had
been a heavy ice bridge in the
pool below the cataract since the
middle OF winter. Under the
impact Of the mass of ice from
the lake above and the added
Hoods brought down by the
wind, the bridge gave way and
began to surge down the rapids,
but before it could win freedom
IN the ample waters of Lake
Ontario, the wind shifted again
to the north. Instantly the NOV
ing foes packed at the mouth of
the river. Each instant of cold
concealed the pack more solidly
and each hour brought added
pressure from above.
Unable to escape by it's nat1r-
al channels the level of the Nv
er rose by leaps and bounds.
The highest flood level recorded
from previous years is % feet
above the normal. Friday night
the river was 40 feet above nor
NAL.
Conservative estimates place
the damage at 81, 900, 900.

JUDGES HOME DISMAN-
49, TIED.

Home of United States Circuit
Court Judge Invaded and
Dismantled Under a Writ of
Attachment.
The home of United States
Circuit Judge w. 3. Sheppard. of
Atlanta, Ga, was invaded and
dismantied on the 9Th under a
writ of attachment, the circum-
stances leading to the outrage
being as follows:
A month or more ago his secre-
tary was driving Judge Sheppard
home, when the car hit a negro.
The judge claims he was not
negligent but agreed to pay the
injured mans bill and give him
$50. The attorneys for the negro
refused to accept this sum and
said they would sue.
Instead Of filing an ordinary
suit, they waited until late last
Thursday evening and sWore out
a writ Of attachment. One of
the attorneys, accompanied by a
constable and a force of negroes.
went to the judges home and
found Mrs. Sheppard alone with
her children, one of them a baby
Of only six months. At once
they began to seize everything
in sight and loaded it on drays.
They took all the furniture ex-
cept the beds, the clothing of all
the members of the family, the
trunks and even the toys of the
little ones.
All the time, Mrs. Sheppard
was pleading with the men to
wait until her husband returned,
but they refused to listen and
she says they were both rough
and insolent. Next Mrs. Shep-
pard telephoned to the lawyer of
the negro, but as soon as she ex-
planned who she was, she says he
abruptly hung up the receiver,
saying he talked business with
men only.
Judge Sheppard on the follow
ing day in court openly and bit
terly denounced the treatment
he had received as not only out
rageous, but as an attack upon
the dignity of the United States
Court.

and stood watching him. Suddenly the black

uncomfortable laughter, which continued for several
minutes. The cart driver looked at him in amusement
"Say, Uncle he asked, do you always laugh when
you coal going into cellar" The negro sputtered
around for few moments and then holding his hands

All the money that is put into newspapers isn't

Irresponsible scandalnongering, undertaking sheet

For an Automobile Road From
Pinehurst to the Coast.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.


In a recent conversation with
Mr.. Leonard Tufts. proprietor of
the Pinehurst Estate, question of
arousing public interest in an
automobile road from Pinehurst
to the coast came up. Mr.. Tufts
IS of the opinion that if concerted
action can be taken looking to
such a road that it will result in
a great many Northern tourists
bringing their machines South
and spending some time in our
territory.
1t has occurred t. NE that tne
best way to bring this matter be-
fore the public is through the
newspapers. | hope his strikes
you as a good idea and that you
will give it publicity, and if pos
sible have your leading citizens
call a meeting for the purpose of
formulating plans. It might be
we'll initially to have them ap-
point a committee to confer with
MIR. Tufts. | am sure that he
would be inclined to give liberal
support from a financial point of
view. | think his idea is to have
this road take a general direction
southeasterly from Pinehurst
with its terminus at either Will
mington, Southport or possibly
Charleston.
