LAYMEN'S RALLY.

To be Held at Antioch on the
2Oth-Will be a Notable Oc-
casion-Oth Items.
Correspondence of The Robesonan.
Red Springs, March a Sum-
day, March 10th, is the day of
the great Laymen's Convention
to be held at Antioch, near Red
Springs. The local committee is
composed of Messrs. ]. A. Hod-
gin. ]. C. Nixon and Freb Brown
and they have secured the SER
vices of Prof. VIM. j. Martin, Of
Davidson; Hon. Henry w. NAL,
10y, Of Wilmington. The COM.
mittee has invited other speakers
also, but have not heard from
them. Col. N. A. Mclean, of
Lumberton, has been invited. but
hasn't been heard from. It is
hoped he can attend, as his pres
ence is always desired at Antioch
on any occasion. Ten adjacent
churches have been invited. It
is the hope of the committee to
have at least five hundred lay
men present. While it is pri-
marily a laymen's convention,
yet provision will be made for all
of our lady friends. A basket
dinner will be served on the
ground to the invited guests of
Antioch. 1t will not be served
as a picnic dinner, as the desire
of those having this important
feature of the programme in
hand is to eliminate anything
having a tendency to detract
from the object of the meeting.
The music will be under the di-
rect supervision of Miss Marga-
ret Overcast. director of music
at Antioch academy. Miss Over
cash is numbered as one Of the
leading musicians to be found
anywhere. She is not only a
graduate of Statesville Female
College, but also of the Cincin.
natl Conservatory of Music.
She has secured the services OF
some Of the best singers from
|our sister towns, and in addition
to the great number Of trained
voices there will be an orchestra

Those who failed to attend the

Of the music department at the

Friday evening missed a treat.
The audience was not so large, but
every one in attendance enjoyed
the recital from the first through
the last selection on the program.
The program was not only inter-

Moring deserves to be congrat-
ulated upon the arrangement of
the program, upon it's brevity,
and upon the excellent spicy man

The following program was rem

the time they have been taking

could not have been made better:

Robert Roper, a negro about 20

The attempt at assault is al
legged to have been committed
about noon Thursday. Sarah
lives near Mr.. ]. E. Carlyle's.
She says that Roper, after max

complish his purpose because he
was frightened away by her
screams. Abont one O'Clock

scription given and had on him

scoffers do not always reap harvest OF
woe and anguish. Indeed, 1t sometimes
seems that 1t is on the wrong side Of
the balance that the good things Of life
are placed, and we are sometimes dis
mayed. .-.
1t is almost impossible for us to I'm
derstand why the life of some noble
woman should be so burdened by sor-
row of reckless sons and worse than
reckless daughters-by dissipated hus-
band and helpless relatives. Some
strong souled and patient women seem
to carry all the burdens of the COM
munity upon their frail shoulders.
Men and women who have lived APP
parently bIameless lives feel the weight
of the sins Of others laid heavily upon
them and we wonder and question.
Men who are upright in business fail
and are beaten down in the war with
the world Of finance. While men with
out honesty and without conscience
often prosper and once more we ask
the reason.
Men have coined slang phrases which
would show that man may not be
honest-if he would win riches. He
may not be scrupulous-and succeed.
He may not be kind-and reap success
| in the business world.
Sometimes 1t seems hopelessly near
the truth-these maxims Of the cynic
| and yet, when we see the restless rich,
with their worn and tired faces, we
must conclude that perhaps there is
more in the old principles Of right liv-
| ing than meets the eye.
In short story written by a keen
reader of human nature, a party of
country women stray into ballroom
of wealth They think they have
| reached the place Of happiness. Peo-
pie who have done all the kind things
zzall the right things. People who have
nc worries and no tired feet to make
them irritable. A world where money
is not lacking to do the kindly deed
that so often comes to hand and the
alienation of which is denied the lin
| tied purse But it is but little while
| till they find that even charity may be
tied by red tape, and that the gift OF
kindly deeds is as close to them as to
the world weary rich.

our neighbor for the discipline he is
undergoing. Perhaps he is learning
lessons of charity and patience. Per
haps he will even be better for mis-
takes which he recognizes as such
| Perhaps the woman who has borne
heavy burdens would have fallen under
a load which did not call for all her
strength to uphold. Perhaps the man
who has failed, would have failed in
his higher nature had the path been
made too easy. Perhaps his sense of
right and wrong would have been con-
fused had he grown wealthy. ..

I fail to achieve great things, we can

According to reports from across the

twill or Danish leather are being dis
carded during the hot summer months

idea has been welcomed by votaries
of tennis, golf, croquet and rowing.
To cover the hands while at these
sports has been great mistake, they
argue. While gloves are discarded it
is not intended that the hands of the
woman in ballroom or theatre shall
be exposed. They are to be placed in
a more agreeable prison in the form of
rose muff. The rose muff is made of
wire so fashioned that flowers, more
particularly roses, can be inserted. 1t
is almost as long and as broad as the
ordinary winter muff. The roses placed
