CLEANUP DAY.
Thursday Of This Week is Sne-
cial Cleanup Day-All Urged
to Put Their Premises in Order
Purposes of the Civic Asso-
ciation.

The Robesonian has called spe.
cial attention to the special clean
up day set apart by the Lumber
ton Civic Association. That day
is near at hand, and in order to
call attention to the special dav
and to set forth the purposes Of
the Civic Association the follow
ing has been printed in pamphlet
form and sent to every home in
Lumberton:
All good citizens should be
interested in any measure which
has for its purpose the welfare
and Improvement of our COM
munity. Among the many ques-
tions which demand our consid-
GRAFTON at present, the formost in
Importance are:
What shall we do to improve
the sanitation of Lumberton, and
how shall we beautify the town?
In order to obtain the best
and most lasting results in any
kind of improvement work, some
kind of organization is essential.
For this reason, and because it
seemed that this is the most op-
perfume time to begin this much
needed work, about 145 of our
patriotic and progressive citizens
have formed themselves into
what is known as the Lumberton
Civic Association, an organiza-
tion similar to those which have
done, and are doing so much tc
promote improvement work ir
other towns and cities, both o1
this State and of the nation. The
annual membership fee is S1.OO.
1T is the purpose of the Asso
citation to actively cooperate
with the Board of Health, and
other departments of the towr
government, as we'll as with
other organizations which have
for their object the general wei
fare and happiness of our people
1t is the purpose Of the Asso
citation to endeavor to create ii
every possible way such spiri
of civic pride in our citizenship
as will eventually result in tn
permanent improvement of hom
grounds, and the removal o
everything unsightly and unsan
itary from their surroundings
This is the first step in civic bet
terment, and once having bee1
taken by the community as
whole, it will not be long unit
wider improvements of a publ
nature will follow. and ultimate
ly the realization of the dreal
of theAssociation, a clean, health
full and beautiful Lumberton.'
1T is earnestly hoped that a
house-holders in the town c
Lumberton will join the Associs
ton and lend their hearty co-ope,
alton in this work, thereby a:
sisting the permanent improv'
ment of the community, wher'
by living conditions will be bette
ed, not OILY for themselves, bl
for their neighbors.

RAILROAD BILL
CHANGING FAST
DEBATE IN SENATE WILL FORCE
MANY AMENDMENTS, IT
Is BELIEVED.
ALS0 IN THE: HOUSE
Where Several Chances Have Been
Made Already and End is Not

SidetracXed.

/ Washington, March 13.-Although
identical when introduced in the two
houses Of congress, it is now evident
that the measures to create court
of commerce and amend the inter-
state commerce laws Will bear little
resemblance to each other when the
deliberations of the two bodies are
|concluded. In the house committee
many of the administration theories
in regard to the issuing of stocks and
bonds and the merging OF non-com-
peting lines has been shattered and
the end Is not in sight, fer, although
already much amended, assaults on
the bill will continue on the floor.
While opposition to the admins
tration bill is not strong enough TO
amend the bill in the senate commit
tee, it is now conceded that several
important changes will be forced on
begin tomorrow or Tuesday. Senator
Cummins will open the discussion IN
support Of certain changes advocated
in the minority report of the senate

days
Nearly all Of the "insurgent' sona
tors will speak on the railroad bill
land there viii be many speeches also
from The Democratic side. No one
estimates that the debate viii be fin
ished in less than six weeks, and some
senators predict that much more
time viii be consumed.
-s.All effort.will be made =hsrthes hBase
committee on interstate commerce
TO report the bill this week. and it IS
probable, therefore, that the debate
ON the same subject will proceed sim
Iultaneously at both ends OF the CAPT
tol. This viii create an unusual sit
uation.
The statehood legislation, which
has passed the house, and the postal
savings bill legislation, which has
passed the senate, beth have been
sidetracked for the administration
railroad bill. The postal bank bill
will not reach the floor for several
weeks, probably not until tse present
session is near its close.
Regardless Of the fact that the pos
tai bank bill, the ant--inlunction meas
