The Robesonian. [volume] (Lumberton, N.C.) 1870-current, 1917-11-05

The Barnwell, S. c., People says
that among the negroes of some sec
lions of its county a vicious report
was circulated to the effect that on
the 18th of last month the govern
ment was going to confiscate their
property It says that some Of the
negroes went so far as to plow up
their turnip patches, and many Of
them hid away their canned goods
and got rid oftheir hogs and cows.
1t does beat the Dutch what fool re-
ports are circulated and gain cred
ence during war times. And victims
of these reports are found among some
ignorant white people Intelligent
people in every community have op-
portunity for performing real service
by keeping themselves informed and
protecting those whose ignorance
causes them to fall easy victims tc
vicious and fool reports like that.

OLD CHARLESTON HOMES
SHOW BENEFIT OF PAINT
Mansions Built in Colonial Days
Still Are in Spler id
Preservation.

Not only from the Pilgrims who land
ed in Plymouth in 1920 is Washington
taking a lesson in its paint-up cam
paign. but also from the early settle
ment Of South Carolina In an article
printed last Tuesday 1t was shown how
paint has preserved old New England
monsions, which. as historic landmarks.
are familiar to Washingtonians who spend
their summers in Massachusetts. New
Hampshire and Rhode Island.
Washington also has large southern
population, many of whom have made
pilgrimages to the quaint old city Of
was stored and the pirates hanged.
Charleston is noted for its old build
lngs and especially for its historic
gates. Many of these are standing to-
day in a wonderful state of preserva-
don because they have been painted
regularly.
As an illustration may be mentioned
the old Sloan residence. built in 1853 /:
the w. G. Williams residence. built by
John Edwards in 11T0, and the Bennett
mansion, built in 1920. These are all
familiar places to the sightseers.
Columbia, the state capital, boasts
among it's historic houses the William
WASHINGTON home built in 1855. All
of these buildings of yester-year
style of architecture, look spick and
span and modern in fresh paint, while
other nearby houses built scores Of
years later are crumbling in decay be-
cause their owners neglected to paint
them.

COAT OF FRESH PAINT
ADDS VALUE TO HOUSE
Banker Tells of Advantages of Keep
ing Property in Good State
of Repair.

The best way to sell a house is to
paint it first.
You can get higher rent for a house
by painting it.
The banker will lend more money on
we'll painted house.
These are suggestions made in con-
nection with the clean up-paint up
deal of attention.
A prominent banker said today:
of course, it is easier to get loan
one a we'll painted house. This is not
merely because the house is in better
repair and holding its value, but be-
good care of his property is proof to
Us that he is not shiftless, that he is
provident and that we have a reason
ably certain prospect of getting the
loan paid back.
"A well painted house carries it's own
recomme ndation even as a man who Is
careful about the neatness of his ap-
pearance makes q much more favorable
impression than one who is careless"
When nature takes on a new dress,
why not be in harmony? Is a suggestion
for clean up-paint up that carries
an appeal to most folks these days. 1t
is also pointed out that at this season
the wood work kiln dried by the fur
mace fire all winter is actually parching
and famshing for refreshing paint.
Again the suggestion is made that
when the east winds are high, as they
often are in Washington at this season.

dows carefully puttied

PANORAMIC OBJECT LESSON.
Two and a Half Miles of Corridor
Walls Brightly Tinted.

Two and a half miles of corridors in
the State, War and Navy building are
4 panoramic object lesson in the use
of tinted walls to reflect the light.
This is a really economic experiment
that has been proved a great saving in
the cost of lighting. The light reflect
ing values of the various tints of paints
are now understood by the skilfu painter.
Many industrial establishments,
schools, hospitals and office buildings
in the capital have reduced their
lighting costs to marked extent
through application of the proper types
and tints of interior paints. By making
the interiors brighter they have saved
a number of accidents and have con-
tributed to more cheerful feeling
among the occupants.
The saving on lighting costs has
averaged about so per cent of the for
.ner cost one specific example is given
\ large office building. one of the big
yest in the city, was not properly deco
rated and the rooms required an aver
age of 1000 watts for illumination
These rooms now require only 800 watts

''Uncle Sam Is After You"

He pictured the receipt of the news
IN the allies trenches that the United

now the men at the front would get

the speaker, but they have been deep
and terrible. 1t is upon the women that
the heaviest burden has been placed,
and yet the noble and uncomplainine.
spirit In which they bear that burden
proves an inspiration to the men. I
recall the instance of a young colonel
IN the French army whose painful duty
1t became to call at the home of the
young widow of one of his officers and
tell her Of her bereavement AS he en-
tered the room the white face of the
woman as she came toward him told
him that she realized at once the dread
news which he brought, but unfalter-
ingly she said, before he could sneak.

The high standard of paint coatings in
