OF LEES
BIRTHDAY TOMORROW

Public Should Attend Exercises in
Lumberton Friday-Ihe Occasion
Should be an Inspiration to the
Younger Generation - Robson
County Veterans Have Made Clio
rious Record
To the Editor Of The Robesonian:
Again permit me TO call attention
to the anniversary Of Gen Lees
birthday on Friday January 19h, and
70 invite the attendance OF the pub
lie on the exercises Of that day.
Many OF cur people are descendants
Of soldiers wao, under the leadership
o. the great chieftan, helped TO en-
blazon upon the pages Of history the
heroic deeds o. the citizen soldiery OF
the South, and it would seem but nat
ural that their descendants should
take a deep interest In such patri-
otto occasions as that We propose to
celebrate On the 18th.
Then such an occasion ought to be
an inspiration 10 the younger gene
ration and their attendance would
tend to keep alive the spirit of 10y
atty and patriotism that from 1776
to 1861 fired the hearts Of our peo-
pie when their country called for
their services. Then some evidence
Of public appreciation is due to the
small remnant Of Robson county
soldiers who are left and who always
enjoy their meetings. The writer
feels free to speak Of the Robson
county soldiers because he was not
one of them, and therefore is moi
speaking Of himself. But besides z
whole company 1.-THE Highland boys
in his regiment, there were seven Of
these Robson boys in his own com
. pany, and he can bear cheerful tes
, timony to their courage and fidelit.
! and other soldierly qualities.
: Then since the war, the veteran!
have figured largely in the history 0,
! the county. They have furnished !;
j member Of Congress, Judge of tn
: Superior court, q solicitor Of thi
judicial district and many member
I of the State Senate and House O
. Representatives and numerous count,
, officers, and thus helped to max,
} this splendid county what it is.
At these meetings, so interestin,
4 to the veterans, we always have /;
good speaker and an interesting an,
: instructive address. These speaker
( are sometimes our own citizens, some
times from distance, always good
t and the public, though always invit
i ed, gives the matter but little atten

. school when reminded that he 1ha
/ not sent his advanced classes, a
: promised, to hear one Of these ad
a dresses, replied that he forgot it.
{ The address on the 18th will b

Board of Censors" Tied on 'Where

CTS 03S II
"Where Are Ny Children, pho
toplay brought to Lumberton by
Manager Kilian Of the Lyric theatre,
created some stir before it was al
lowed to be shown to the public.
Mayor White appointed eight men
to see a performance given Tuesday
morning and make written report to
him as to whether or not it should
be allowed. Mr.. Kilian had invited
others, SO that quite a sprinkling Of
MEN saw the preliminary show. At
the conclusion Of the show Revs- c..
L. Greaves and G. E MoorehoHse,
the only ministers present, were as
emphatic as they had been before the
performance in the opinion that it
should not be shown, or if shown
at all not to people under about 25
years of age. The committee stood
as follows: against. r. Varser,
E. B. Freeman, J. G. Beckwith, ]. P.
Russell; fore. V. Brown, R. E.
Sentelle, W. L. Grantham, ]. A.
Sharpe, Prof. Sentelle qualifying his
approval by the stipulation that the
age limit should be raised to Is
years. Mayor White put the tie vote
up to the town commissioners. who
decided three to one in favor of al
lowing it to be shown, ali under 18
70 be excluded. So this much-talked-
of movie was put On Tuesday and
yesterday.
There are two extremes Of opin-
ion about the picture. Some are
emphatic in saying that it is indie
cent and should not be shown; others
are enthusiastic about It and declare
that it is ore of the finest photo,
plays ever brought to Lunberton.
The truth no doubt lies somewhere
/ between these two extremes. Those
who approve the picture think that
when rightly considered it is calcu-
lated to do good rather than harm.
that it presents the monster vice in
its true 'frightful mein" and causes
one to shudder at its awful conse-

FROM FLORIDA FORT
WiIlmar Boy Writes From Fort Bar
rancas Near Pensacola Winter

WiIlmar Boy Writes From Fort Bar
rancas Near Pensacola Winter
Resort.
Under date Of April 30, Norman De-
La Hunt writes the following: Il am
now at Fort Barrancas, sitting on the
porch Of one of the barracks. facing
the Gulf Of Mexico. There is some
view from here. The fort is located
on one of the points of entrance to
the Pensacola harbor, and large ships
pass back and forth thru this en-
trance from time to time. This is all
new to me, as you know, and is in
tensely interesting. l have seen so
many new things lately and travelled
so much that it almost seems like a
dream. But everything is not golden.
There is quite bit of grief connected
with it too, but l forget that.
The fellows are playing ball out in
the yard now. Among the new things
have seen today are the ocean
steamers, aeroplanes and observation
balloons. There is a large aero sta.
ton just across the harbor. There
were one or two planes flying prac-
tically all day, and say, they were
high up. The observation balloons
look like big cigar, with a little
bucket hanging far below, where the
men sit. The balloon is tied to the
ground with cables.
The weather is great. A little hot
at first but that was because we were
not used to it. 1t is like our July
weather only the air seems different
We are only nine miles from Pensa
cola, the great winter resort, so
guess it ought to be healthy.
We had fine trip down here. Left
Jefferson Barracks about four-fifteen
Saturday afternoon, and arrived here
about nine o'clock today monday
We passed thru the Ozark mountains
and believe me they were pretty
Hills and deep valleys all heavily
wooded with all kinds of trees. The
colors blended together like a picture.
Alabama is sure a pretty state as far
as the natural scenery goes, but there
are too many run down huts around.
The people turned out in large mum.
bers at most of the towns we passed
thru, and cheered us. There were 1886
of us who made the trip. We arrived
at Pensacola about midnight, and lay
ed over there until morning. We were
then loaded on government ship
and went the nine miles by water.

CHRISTIANSON LIKELY
TO RUN FOR CONGRESS
VoIstead Expected to Retire From
Congress When He Completes


All indications point to the entry OF
Theodore Christensen Of Dawson in
to the race for congress from the sew
enth district at the next election.
Rep. Nolstead's friends say that the
Granite Falls statesman will not en-
ter the race next time, not that there
would be any danger Of his defeat but
because he wishes to get back to the
practice of law. In the event that
Mr.. VOlstead retires Mr. Christianson
will in all probability file to succeed
him. That Christensen will have op-
position in the person Of his friend,
Tom Davis of Marshall is expected by
his friends. Davis and Christensen
do not hitch politically and Tom will
in all probability do all he can to
wrest a seat in Congress from that
unknown editor from Dawson"
