Brutal Murder in Guilford.

Greensboro Cor. Charlotte Observer gath.
Miss Lydia C.Newman, a maid
en- lady, who lived alone in the
Burnett's Chapel section of Sum-
ner township, was found dead
today within three hundred yards
of her residence. Her skull had
been crushed by bludgeon and
she had evidently been dead for
several days. She was last seen
Tuesday morning, when a neigh
Dor observed her going in the di-
rection of the cow lot.
Coroner Wood summoned a
jury and held an inquest this af-
ternoon, but no evidence was Sc
cured to throw light on the trag-
edy. There appears to be no
doubt that the object of the MUIR
der was robbery, but it is not
known whether or not the muir
derer procured anything of value
Miss Newman was possessed OF
considerable property and a
times had large sums of money
in her home. About two year.
ago her dwelling was burned
and she was robbed of about 81,
900 in cash.

1t is to be hoped that the eff
fort being made to secure mail
and express service on the Vir-
ginia q Carolina Southern Rail-
road will meet with success.
Petitions signed by practically
all the business people of Lum-
berton asking for the establish

forwarded to the proper sources,
an Inspector who recently went
over the road reported favorably,
and there seems reason to be-
lieve that at no very distant day
the service will be given. Mail
service over the V. & C. S.

Whenever folks gets gay with
Charity and Children about what
they're doing, Editor Archibald
Johnson takes them down a peg
by telling them what Lumberton
Baptists are doing. The following
is from last weeks Charity and
Children:
"A man of fine intelligence,
representing a Sunday-school
likewise intelligent, wrote US a
letter recently expressing aston
ishment that Charity and Chill
dren had stopped coming to the
school, and adding that they sent
regularly from ten to twelve dol.
lars a month to the Orphanage.
Lumberton Sunday-school sends
sixty dollars a month to the
Orphanage, but it pays for its
papers all the same"

The Cleveland and Bryan view
has always been that the free

the rate should be reduced on
both the raw material and the
manufactured product. Raleigh

AT WRICHTSVILLE BEACH.
Multitudes Still Coming A
"Shirt-Waist" Dance-A De-
lghtful Concert.

Correspondence of The RObesonian.
Two of the largest excursions
of the season arrived yesterday
from Durham and Ashboro, to
swell the crowds which arrived
on Wednesday from Atlanta. 1t
is with qualification that we
learn that no difficulty has been
found in providing: for the hun
dreds of visitors, though the
hotels and boarding houses have
been taxed to their utmost ca
pacity. The popularity Of the
Beach is steadily on the increase,
as is shown by the mutitudes
which daily flock to Wrightsville,
and every effort is being put
forth by the Tide Water Power
Company and the proprietors
Of the hotels to make the stay of
the visitors pleasant and COM
Portable.
One of the pleasant social fea-
lures of the week was a Shirt
waist" dance, which took place
yesterday morning in the beau
! t;;fful pali room Of the Seashore
Hotel. Excellent music was
furnished by the Nixon Orches-
ira, and about thirty couples
participated. Though Of an in
formal nature, the dance was
thoroughly enjoyed by all pres
ent, and it is learned with
pleasure that these morn
ing dances will occur from time
to time at this popular hotel.
One of the most novel and de-
ightful concerts ever given on
the Beach took place on Friday
evening at the Seashore Hote.
when Master Beryl Rubenstein,
of Georgia, ten years old pianist,
known as the youngest prodigy
IN the musical realm. gave a
concert. Master Rubenstein has
played in the largest cities of the
country, and his skill and won
derful conception and expressive.
ness are incredible. His mar.
velous memory enables the chile
to play faultlessly by ear the
most difficult compositions Of the
worlds famous musicians, anC
his accomplishment excites the
wonder of all. A large number
Of visitors from the city, as wei
as the music lovers on the Beach
locked to hear the excellent mu

The seriousness of the unsani-
tary conditions that exist in
Lumberton has not lessened
since the matter was referred to
in The Robesonian several times
some weeks ago. If the mayor
and town commissioners have
taken any action to relieve the
situation it has escaped notice.
Something ought to be done and
that speedily. AS a general prop
osition we should say that every
body whose premises are within
Is or 100 yards of sewer lines
should be made to connect.
That some conditions need RENE
dying no one who is familiar
with conditions as they exist will
deny. The time to apply the
remedy is here and now.

TOO SERIOUSLY?

If the editorial in Thursdays
RObesonian under the caption
Smoke Up" served no other
purpose than to call forth the
delightful communication from
Col. Mclean, printed elsewhere
in this issue, it was worth while.
We are afraid, however, that our
esteemed friend did not put the
construction we should wish on
our lew feeble remarks. lndi-
vidually there are no more APP
proachable, jovial, warm-hearted
and altogether delightful people
on the face of the earth tina n are
to be found here in this good
town; and that we will maintain
against all odds; but we merely
meant that social life seems to
drag at times and that the SUI
perior advantages afforded here
for good, clean sports that give
elasticity and enduring power tt
brain and body are not enjoyed
as they might be. Of course the
same might be said of almost any
town-except that many town:
are not Sc blessed in many ways
The colonel asks if we do no
take ourself too seriously at times
Yes, we plead guilty; we freel.
and frankly admit that we do
and those few broken remark
apply as much to ourselves as t
any one and we are glad to sa
that even as we wrote we realiz
ed that we were criticising oul
self perhaps more than any on
else. But the article was ne
written in a spirit of criticism
it was meant more to sugge:
that opportunities for maxim
life more beautiful and swe'
than it IS at times are lying q
about us, neglected.
Come to think about it, mo
of us take ourselves too serious
at times, and we think the col
mel will admit that it is good f
most people to have that ia
borne in upon them OCCASIONAL

order of things. When confront

negro who had just been identi-
fed by the victim of criminal as
sault, Sheriff Mckinney and three
deputies drew their revolvers,
rushed their prisoner through
the mob to an automobile
which they had standing in
waiting, and rushed the negro to
Atlanta for safe keeping. De-

in bringing off a prisoner safely,
