Fire destroyed the residence
of Mr.. H. S. McCallum at Max

Lask week was the busiest we
have yet had in the contest de-
partment. The race for the
shoes was close one but was
won by Miss Viola jenkins. The
votes have more than piled
| in the office since the last issue
of the paper, and some good
work has been done by each and
every one of the contestants.
Mrs. Barrett spent several
days in the country and when
she returned brought in sack
full of votes. The cold weather
is the very thing to make them
work, that is, judging from the
load that Miss Viola Jenkins
sent in. Miss Eva Gaddy makes
a Jump from seventh place to
| fourth last week. She is anoth-
er earnest little worker and we
wouldn't be surprised if she
were nearer the top than this
next week.

bringing in the largest number
of subscriptions between Nov Z
and Nov. II. This will be for

Under a Lumberton date-line
of the 5th a apecial to the Green's
boro News states that people
are at a loss to know why so
many big guns of the Democratic
party have been speaking down
this way" and in the next SEN
tence says that "GleEn made
three speeches in Lumberton,
Kitchin one and Beckett one. -
Which is altogether misleading
as to ex-Gov. Glenn, for he made
only one political speech here,
the other two having no connect
ion with politics. Mr.. Glenn
spent Sunday in town and ad-
dressed the Presbyterian Sun
day school and also a union meet
ing. In the same special it is
stated that The Robesonian
says that the Democratic ticket
will carry the county by $500
majority" 1t would have been
just as easy to tell the truth
about that. The Robesonian has
made no such prediction; it
merely stated that the Democratic
majority should be not less
than 2, 500. And it will not be
necessary to steal it, either, as
that correspondent says.

speaking in Raleigh Friday, as

that his attacks upon Senator
Simmons and Editor Josephus
Daniels were as scathing as he
could make them. Lying, cow
ardly scoundrels" were among
the mildest terms used. 1t is re-
ported also that not more than
100 people outside of Raleigh
heard his speech. He explained
his signature to the famous ad-
vertisement by saying that when
he saw what bonds had come in
he refused to have anything to dc
do with them and produced &
letter which he claimed showed
that he had refused to have any
thing to do with any effort tc
collect fraudulent bonds. He i:
entitled to the explanation but i
is not likely that it will do hin
any good.

KEEPING CLEAN.

Dirt and filth mean disease and
death. Cleanliness means health. We
know this is true. We know also
that in order to keep clean and to
have clean. healthful surroundings, we
have to fight dirt all the time.
The trouble is that dirt is always
gathering and piling up, it seems, of
its own accord. Cleanliness does not.
We may clean up the back yard and
have the place neat and tidy as a new
pin; but almost before we know 1t
the rubbish has gathered again and
another cleanup is needed.
Filth attracts flies and furnishes
them breeding places Flies, as we
known, carry the germs Of disease on
their feet.
Because this is true, we should
never cease keeping clean. Every
day should be cleaning day. II this is
done. It makes the work Of keeping
clean. easy.
Don't let dirt of any kind accumu
late. Set a good example to your
neighbors by keeping your own prem
ises neat and attractive.
II you have q neighbor. that won'i
keep his place clean. tell the Health
Department about It.
