BUILDING AND LOAN ASSO-
CATION.
Lurnberton's Newest Institution
Successful Business Men Or
ganize Association.

The newest institution for
Lumberton is a building and loan
association. And this is no doubt
one Of the best things that ever
happened for the town.
The objects for which the as
sociation is formed are to enable
its subscribers to assist each
other, and all those who may be-
come associated with them, in
making loans to its members
and to enable them to ac-
qulre real estate, make i'm
provenents thereon and to re-
move encumtrances by the pay
ment Of periodical installmenfs.
The incorporators of this COM
pany are as follows: A. W. Nc
Lean, r. D. Caldwell, w. W.
Carlyle, L. H. Caldwell, Stephen
Mcintyre, 3. j. Britt, A. E.
White, c. B. Townsend, G. T.
Williams, G. C. French, A. ".
Peace and Dennis Biggs.
| It will be noticed that most
of these men are directors Of the
Bank Of Lumberton and success
full business men, and that they
will make the building and loan
association success no one who
knows them will doubt. The
company has not been organized
as yet, but it has been determin-
ed that Offices viii be in the Bank
Of Lumberton and convenient
hours will be arranged. More
than $1,000 have been subscrib.
ed and business will be begun
when Sl5, 900 has been subscrlb.

Mr. Knapp.

Mr.. Bradford Knapp, son Of
the eminent DR.. S. A. Knapp, OF
the Farmers Cooperative Dem
onstration Work of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, spoke as one
having authority. HIS speech
was the earnest, straight-from-
the-shoulder talk of an earnest
man. Of a man with a message
to deliver, and his talk was we'll
worth the hearing. He explain
ed the demonstration work. It
is not claimed that there is any
thing strange or unheard Of about
it; it is simply giving to farmers
all over the country the result Of
experiments carried on by the
government and letting them
reap the benefits; simply taking
to the farmers all that the De-
partment has learned. He said
that he saw disc plow in a field
as he was on his Way to this meet
ing, and that one of the first
things to learn is the use Of i'm
proved machinery. He spoke of
preparing the seed-bed, drain
age, use Of the harrow, selection
of seed. Formerly man would
take his seed cotton from the
gin and his seed corn from the
crib, but now he selects his seed
from the field with care. He de-
clared that thS people are awak-
ening agriculturally and that the
time is coming when North Caro-
lima will stand as one Of the fore
most States in the things Of the
farm. Here are resources, cl:-
mate. diversity of soils not
found in many States. Bet
ter roads, better schools, bet
ter machinery are needed.
All these improvements cost
money, but nothing worth While
can be obtained except through
sacrifice. If a crop of 20 bushels
OF corn from an acre gives
a profit Of 80, then by chang
ing methods, plowing in the
fall and blowing deeper, etc.,
and raising 60 or so or more
bushels the profit will be increas-
N ed so that the return upon the
value Of the land will be beyond
what any Wall Street magnate
realizes on his investments.
MIR. Knapp advised young men
20 buy land and declared that in
another generation it would net
be possible to buy land cheap ir

RALLY DAY NOTES.
Some Further Account of Ad-
dresses Delivered at the Farm
ers' Education Rally on the
26th.

eSeAs
1t was promised in Thursdays
paper that a fuller account would
be given in today's paper Of some
of the speeches made on the great
rally last week, on the 26th, when
the Farmers Educational Rally
eclipsed anything in point of
numbers that had ever come
Lumberton's way. There are
many things in regard to the day
that might be written, for the
day was full, every minute of it,
with things worty Of being re-
corded.
In Thursdays Robesonian the
day was covered as fully as space
would permit and brief reports
We're given of the principal
speeches. The address Of State
Superintendent ofPubic Instruc-
ton j. Y.Joyner was packed full
of good thought and it is a pity
that every child and every par
ent, as we'll, in the county could
not have heard him. When the
tirqe came for Prof. Joyner to
81 ok the oder folks were asked
TO make way for the children and
let them occupy these in front,
and Mr.. Joyner said he thanked
God the time had come when the
grown folks make way without
protest for the children.
Supt. Joyner talked about the
money value Of education be
cause he said he knows the people
of North Carolina and knows
that making money appeals tt
them when nothing else will. HI
showed how it is only by mixing
brains with matter that matte:
becomes valuable, and used somt
striking illustrations, which were
given in Thursdays paper. HI
predicted that the time is not ia.
distant when there will be a
least one ocno0. in every counts
where farming and other practi
cal occupations will be taught
that the people will demand then
and will furnish the money 10
their establishment.

RAILROAD PROSPECTS.

The Proposed Extension Of the
Raleigh & Southport The V.
c. S. to Build to Elizabeth
town.
The Fayett eviIle Observer
Friday afternoon announced that
the survey for he proposed ex-
tension Of the Raleigh & South
port Ry. from Fayetteville to
Clarkton via Alderman land not
Hope Mills), Tar Heel, Dublin
and Elizabethtown has just been
completed. The extension of
this road to Southport is said to
be no remote possibility. Presi-
dent J.A. Mills has recently been
over the survey and the business
men Of Clarkton are enthusiastic
over the prospects. At meet
ing of the citizens Of that town
Friday night Mr.. Mills PROPOSE
ton that the citizens give right
of way and build a depot at a
cost not exceeding 1000 was
accepted. Mr.. Mills asked for
right Of way not only for a mile
north of Clarkton. but to the
southwark also through the town,
which is construed to mean that
it is his ultimate purpose to build
to WhiteviIle later to either
Southport or Georgetown. S. c..
It is thought that the Virginia
& Carolina Southern Ry will be
extended from St. Paul ia Eliza
bethtown, despite the fact that
the bonds were defeated, so it
seems that Bladen is no longer to
be without railroads.
G. B. Mcleod, Of Lumberton,
said before the election that il
the bonds were defeated the
Lumberton & Elizabethtown Ry.
Co. would build a road from
Lumberton to ElizabethtoWn.
The people are sitting tight
and watching and waiting to se&
what a day may bring forth.

i HAp5 PASS, T|6tD Could U5t HIN

CLEVELAND, Sept. 6.-Now that
the Maps owner is trying to land a
first baseman, and inasmuch as II Is
probable that Manager Jim Mcclure
will try TO develop one OF his kid
pitchers or an infielder into a frat
sacker, the handwriting on the wall
for Brother George Stovall becomes
more prominent.
Manager Jim has not said so In as
many words, but TO a man up q tree
II looks as II Stovall's days as Nap
are numbered. The fans did not take
kindly TO the first sacker's work earli-
-er In the season. He appeared list
less at times and many were the argu-
ments the fans engaged In about the
chances that Stovall shirked.
Be that as 1t may. there is no get
ting around the fact that OF late Stov-
all is playing In the form that made
him the best first baseman In the
league I'm 1908, not even Hal Chase
excepted Stovall has jumped his
batting average to PAL, leads the
league In sacrifice hits with 26 and
has far the best fielding average CT
the first sackers. Stovall has the
edge on the great captain OF the New
York Highlanders I'm making assists
and Chase has always been consider
ed In a class by himself In this re-
spect.

ATHLETICS MAY
GET EVERY SERIES
Two Victories Over Detroit Will Put
Mackmen To Good All
Around.

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-By winning
one of the Labor Day games with the
Highlanders, the Philadelphia Ath-
letics who have the American league
pennant practically cinched. brought
their seasons victories over the High
landers 10 twelve, thus insuring the
big end OF the series.
II Is not as certain as things not
accomplished can be. that the Ath-
let!cs will win every series. They
have already won the series from
New York, Cleveland. Chicago and
ST. Louis, with IL. 13 and 10 victories
respectively; have won eleven each
from Boston and Washington and ten
from Detroit. Another victory over
Boston and Washington and two over
Detroit will give Mack's men clean
sweep IN every series.
Chicago, the probably winner In the
National league, will hardly fare SO
well, as the Cubs have won but eight
games from tho Pirates and must take
four OF the remaining FIVE games 10
get majority OF victories for the
season. Chicago has already won the
New York, Brooklyn and Boston
series and needs but one more victory
each over Philadelphia and st. Louis
to make these series safe.

LABOR DAY BILL
GOES TO DETROIT

Whatever honor there may be In
adding to the burdens OF the poor
down-trodden Browns belongs to the
Tigers. Labor Day saw the athletes
working double time. the net results
OF which were two victories for the
Jenningses. The a. IN. pastime was
captured. 10 L., and the afternoon.
4 to 3. The afternoon affair was a
narrow squeak, bad start by Bailey
allowing Detroit TO get OF In the lead.
The games were filed with some
moisture and much comedy. White
clothed athletes ever and anon slid
about the moistened earth ON the
besoms OF nicely Numbered shirts and
pants. The going was not so heavy
as slippery
The afternoon battle was by far the
best exhibition OF the national pas
time. Mr.. Loudell, late OF Texas,
whitfield six of the Browns on occa-
sions that would do the most good,
allowed seven hits and passed three.
Three times q base knock by the hos
tiles would have tied the score, but
all three times the opposition could
not collect. 4

ANSON RECALLS DAYS WHEN
HOME TEAM BATTED FIRST

II takes a long time to get old and
conservative ideas out of the heads OF
ball players. Even the most pro-
gressive magnates are the most firmly
rooted in some of their antiquated
theories, and they don't wake up to
the march of time till some other fell
low pulls a bunch of new stun upon
them.
Uncle Arson, who certainly lasted
longer In a managerial berth than any
one before or since his day, thus
theorized between shots Of billiard
game.
"One of the Oldest of the theories"
continued the Grand Old Man, and
one that stuck the longest, was this:
That the home team take first at
bat. The idea lasted for twen-
ty years or more. II lasted firmly
rooted till some fellow woke up, and
now the habit of taking last bat is as
solidly established as IL IL were SO
much baseball law. When the gong
rings for the battle now you invari-
ably see the home team streaking for
the field, while the visitors turn to
the pile OF bats exactly as IL the laws
of the game compelled such doings.
DO you ever see the captain of one
team hesitate, pause as he passes the
other captain. and engage him in de-
bate as to whether he wants outs or
ms?
And yet. under baseball law, he
could do so, and the home captain has
the say. For 20 seasons. however, It
has become the 1mmutable custom for
the home team TO take the field, and
no visiting captain would even think
OF asking about II. Should visiting
leader, on his way to the bats. be
stopped by the home captain with a
shout of "You fellows take the field
we are going to bat first" he would
probably have a 1T Of apoplexy.

Taking the last innings, so as to
have the advantage OF the chance for
a final rally. Is the understood GUS
tom. And yet, for many seasons, 1t
was the other way. The home team
always took first bat, and simply for
an utterly absurd survival of the ira
ditions that surrounded backlots ball
when our daddies played on the
vacant lots, and had only one ball to
pound around-as was the case In the
village or town-lot games-the first
crack at the new ball was considered
the greatest thing imaginable. 1t was
figured as vast advantage, because
several runs could be whaled off the
shining leather. and by the time the
other team got to work the sphere
would be black and hard to hit. When
the game grew into professional pro-
portions and enclosed arenas, this
idea still stuck. For years and years
the home club took first bat as a mat
ter or course, and not one of the moss
backs ever semeed to figure IL out
that where the ball was continually
going over the fence II made little or
no difference who had first crack at
the first globule. New balls, OF course,
were always coming into play, and
the second team at bat would get
just as many of them as the first
team. Therefore, the momentary ad.
vantage OF the whack at the first ball
could in no way compensate for the
advantage of last innings. And yet,
year after year. home teams took first
bat, and they kept up the custom till
within the memory of men now In the
game. Yet. I was a mossback, too.
always took first bat when We played
on the lake front, and for several
years at the Congress-st. grounds as
we'll.

from that time on the home team has
always taken last bat, and, think,
