Excellent Railroad Connections

By reason Of the recent change
in schedule on the Virginia &
Carolina Southern railroad, one
can eat supper in Lumberton,
catch a sleeper at Hope Mills,
and after a full nights rest have
breakfast at the usual hour in
Washington, D. c., or breakfast
one hour later in Baltimore, Md,
and get early afternoon luncheon
in New York. Close connection
is made at Hope Mills with the
Coast Line, eliminating the long
wait that was formerly so objec.
tionable.

Correspondence of The Robesonan
RedSpring, May 2O-This being
commencement week, our town
has been thronged with visitors.
The baccalaureate sermon was
preached by Rev. d.. Mcmillan,
D. D., of New York City. This
was a most excellent discourse,
setting forth Christ as the guild
ing star, in whose light we
shall see light" and appealing
to all, especially the young, to
walk in His light, devoting their
lives and shaping their work ac-
cording to this teaching. DR..
Mcmillan preached in the Pres
byterian church Sunday evening
to a large audience from the text,
Il find no fault in Him :" This,
too, was a forceful discourse,
presented, however, in a quiet,
fluent manner which gave great
pleasure to his hearers. The ex-
ercises of the senior class were
given Monday evening, and were
very enjoyable, the young ladies
acting and talking most natural
ly, as if unmindful they were
confronting an audience. The
class song, poem, history and
prophecy were all most excellent,
while the last will and testament
of the class WAS highly amusing.
The toasts also were approprl-
ate and entertaining. Rev. R.W.
Jopling, Messrs Hector Cusrie
and Hiram Grantham were nam
ed as executors to this will.
On Tuesday afternoon the art
room was the centre of attraction
and the art display by the pupils
was of a high order, refectine
much credit on the young ladie:
and their skilled and tasteful in
structor, Miss Ewing.
The annual concert was mex
in order. To say the music wa
unparalleled in sweetness an(
beauty would but poorly describ'
it. The large audience seemed
entranced as it listened spell
oound to number after number.
Wednesday was commence
ment day, also the day appointe,
for the meeting of the ''Scottis
Association of America. ."ln spit
of very inclement weather, a
immense crowd assembled, an
the occasion was one of unusua
interest. Rev. A. H. McArn,of Che
raw, Sc, was the orator OF tn

mastery production and was lis
tened to with undivided attention

WHAT EXPERIENCED
MOTORIST BUYS
Charles T. Jeffery of the RAM
bier Factory Tells of His
Investigations

The greatest number of automobiles
are sold and the average price of cars
purchased is the highest where auto
mobiles have been used the longest.
This fact has been discovered by
Charles T. Jeffery, general manager
of Thomas B. Jeffery & Co, in can
vass of Rambler owners, recently
made.
This means" says Jeffery. that
where the advantages of the automo-
bile, its conveniences and time saving
and pleasure qualities are best known,
the greatest demand exists. 1t means
also that where buyers have become
educated to automobile values and have
learned by experience that $4,000
automobile can not be bought for $1,000,
any more than a $50 suit of clothes
can be bought for SIS, there the aver
age price of cars is highest.
I'VE have found" says Jeffery, upon
investigation, that all standard cars,
including the Rambler, are sold in
greatest numbers where cars have been
used the longest. In new territory,
where buyers are experimenting,
cheaper cars are often sold.

GOODRf:CORD MADE

the following in letter from the home
office of the Oldsmobile:

ager of the Olds motor works. This
fact is being brought to mind more
forcibly every day of my life. l have
just picked UP a letter from an Olds-
mobile owner of Oshkosh. Wis, which
makes me feel prouder than ever before
of my connection with this. company:
Furthermore, it proves our oft repeated
assertion that Oldsmobiles have been
good from the very beginning
Here is an extract from the letter 70

speaks volumes for the concern to
which it is addressed

No Wonder

A FEW weeks ago it seemed as if the State Of Nevada "a to D.
released from the obligation of paying about five times the amount 81
freight ito the railroads paid by the citizens of other states.
The campaign was IN the rail road issue to a great extent.
The people yer asked to vote whether they wanted high freights
or low.
The returns ire all in and we find they have voted to have the high
freight rates sustained.
Before the election the railroads notified the freight agents to
form to the new freight schedule which would save the people OF Ne
vada nearly a million yearly.
Since reading the election returns they have decided that it will be
safe to fight the new rates.
