"LORD, HOW THIS WORLD is
GIVEN TO LYING"

Under the caption, DRAW All the
Shades. Persons Near Lumberton
Rock Seaboard Train," the Whining
ton Dispatch of the 29th ult., carried
a cock ard bull story to the effect
that every afternoon as the Seaboard
passenger from Wilmington nears
Lumberton the porter slips through
the train and pulls down all shades
and that to anxious inquirers the
conductor imparts the thrilling in
formation that a danger zone is be-
ing approached, that it is necessary
to slip by the region just before the
town of Lumberton is reached be-
cause whenever the train is caught
in the act of going by it is rocked.
One is given to understand that a
blockade has been established and
the train slips by without noise, with
shades down, everybody holding her
or his breath, the train doing the
same; and ever as this zone is ap-
preached the conductor and the por-
ter bid each other a fearful adieu and
each entrusts the other with mes
sages to his family in case he should
not get through alive.
1t was quite a fearful story. The
only thing the matter with it is ac-
cording to the conductors that have
been closely question by anxious
Lumberton people since this thing
appeared in print, that there is not
a word of truth in it.
When summer has fully come ii
The Dispatch will put it's reporter
who invented this story down on the
beach he no doubt will be able tc
tell of fearful monsters waltzing
every day with fair women.
The Robesonian., 1917-02-01

One of the best of the good rec
concentrations made in the Cover
nor's message is that the law should
require the careful examination, as
often as every 6 months, at least,
of every child who enters a public
school. That is just good common
sense. By and by school and college
folks are going to learn enough to
require physical examination for
entrance and for promotion from
one grade or class to another, just
as for years they have required ex-
aminations in studies. When that
is done many brilliant child who
is overengined for his beam" viii
be saved for a life Of usefulness in
stead of being ruined and left 6
charge on the State, as so many have
been ruined by wrecking their health
because of mistaken ideas of devel
opment.

srSSTBLE OR FOOLISH

The Wilmington Dispatch does not
mince words in denouncirg tho p1op-
osition to limit county end Slate OF
f;cers tc 6. certain number Of terms
It calls it a fool idea. 1t did not
mention the Governor in that con-
nection, but His Excellency advocat-
ed that same in his inaugural ad-
dress; ergo, the Governor, accord
ing to The Dispatch, advanced fool
idea. The Dispatch thinks this would
deprive the voters Of self-govern-
ment, would place q limitation upon
suffrage and a ban upon efficiency.
Which is interesting, if not convinc-
ing. How about the Governor? He
is limited to one term. Has it ever
been claimed that in not being able
to elect a Governor again and again,
as long as he suited majority Of
the people, the people are deprived Of
self-government and the Governor
has no incentive to make a good re-
cord? The Robesonian confesses in
ability to see anything foolish in
this idea. 1t seems sensible enough.
It is proposed to limit only to more
than two consecutive terms. When
a man has been out Of office two
terms there would be no bar to his
again offering for the office. And
the man who would not perform the
duties of the office conscientiously
ard as efficiently as he could just
because he knew he could not hold
it more than two terms is not fit
to hold office anyway. The man
! who is "in" has an advantage over
opponents and limiting the number
| of consecutive terms would remove
this advantage. What is there un-
! democratic in giving all men who
have ambition to hold office an equal
chance? The Robesonian believes
the Governor is right and that the
bill to limit terms should pass.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness
ana tnat is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
named condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube When this tube is
unnamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the
innammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
viii pc destroyed forever. Many cases of
deainess are caused by catarrh, which is
an Unnamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thr,, tha

Wherein the Editor is Given the Very

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Well, did you ever! Here is a
young man, editor of one of the most
progressive weekly papers in the
S-ate, and coming down in two long
editorials against an OLD Confederate
velef@n. More editorials done against
Mckenzie than he wrote against
rghes--accusing him of having men
signing his petition through fun or
indifference. Mckenzie thinks the
treasurer's office was not abolished,
but transferred to the sheriff. Now
how much are all the officers draw
ing from the "poor taxpayers" of
the county? The Robesonian will
tell you, and most of the work is
done by clerks. Almost anybody in
the county would take them at about
half the salary, and be glad to do
it. Look at the sheriff's salary and
half of his labor is done by officers
in the different townships. And yet
because an old veteran wants a little
of this Doodle the editor is sharp on
him. Before this editor was even a
kid, this old veteran exposed his life
for his future benefit. Shame upon
you, Mr.. Editor. Repent yourself and
trv and do better.
Respectfully,
| D. P. McEACHERN.
Red Springs, N. C.
THE above was received Just about
the time the treasurer's office mat
ter was settled and as it could not
get in before that time it was held
over for time when the paper
should be less crowded. We are re
joiced to learn from this that our
valued friend has lost none of his
fire and vim and still can get under
ones shirt when he feels so disposed
But we're not guilty. We wrote col
umns and columns more stuff against
Hughes than We ever wrote against
Brother Mckenzie. Fact is, we nev.
er wrote anything against Brother
Mckenzie, for whom we will do ou,
possible any time, as we will for any
old soldier. But we were advocat
ing a principle which we believe tt
be right; and we'd be ashamed O.
J.. ourself if we side-stepped what W.
believe to be right through fear O.
being misunderstood, as our gooe
: friend has misunderstood US. W.

for just one in preference to all th'
rest-Editor.]

Consider the office of county jail
er. In feeding and caring for pris-
oners the jailer has job that at all
times is a disagreeable one, a job
that requires eternal vigilance and
in performing the duties of which the
jailer often incurs great risks. Some
times insane people are put in the
Jail. Handling them is a job from
which most people would shrink, and
with reason; but the jailer has to
Go it. Some time ago a desperate
negro got hold of a bar of iron and
concealed it about his person. If the
iailer had not been warned by an
other prisoner no doubt another man
would be on the job now. A time
ago the jailer had to turn some big
negroes out of their cells in order
to get help to manage a crazy man.
For performing these delightful du-
ties the jailer gets the magnificent
salary Of $50 the month. He got
$65 the month up to two years ago,
when the county's members of the
last Legislature decided to make the
great saving to the county of $3.50
the year in the jailer's salary. Would
anybody in the county kick if the
present members Of the Legislature
should decide to raise the jailer's
salary at least to what it was? At
that it would not be what you might
call soft snap.
