Bone Dry

In Kansas they have passed a
law-the tightest thing you ever
saw-which makes you felon If
you try to keep on hand a flask
OF rye. The jointist trembles in
his shoes; if he is found providing
booze he takes a journey to the
pen, and never will get out again.
The man who's found transport
ing gin is by the bailifs gathered
in; the cadi strips him of his kale
and gives him fifty years in Jail.
An empty bottle in your hall, a
corkscrew hanging on the wall, is
proof that you've dehed the law
for you cell, with moldy straw.
The man whose breath suggests

red inks hunted down with
horse and hound, and locked up
in the village pound And if your
nose is red, dry man, you'd better
bleach it while you can; in Kan
sas noses must be pale. if people
would stay out of Jail. Oh, where
are our God-given rights, since we
can't stew ourselves onlghts?
Where was the sense in Bunker
Hill, if we can't pull cork at

Community Fair-Great Lectures
Prof. Campbell Goes to Army
Camp.

Correspondence Of The Robesonian.
Buie's Creek, Oct. Thursday
was a red-letter day for this school
and surrounding section, for it was
the day for the community fair. Large
crowds attended and found everything
worth while. Those that are in DO
sition to know said the exhibits equal
ed any at the various State fairs.
Hons. C. E. Ross and H. L. Goodwin
addressed the people, paying high
compliment to the promoters and sup
porters of the great work that is be-
ing done here.
Probably the most interesting thing
on docket was an old-time spelling
match from the old ~Blueback spell
er. Young and old participated, but
those that were familiar with the old
book had to set down and let Mr.. Fl.
O. Deaton, an enterprising and re-
markable student, take the two per-
fectly good dollars that was the
that SIS because no class had the nerve
to compete with Prof. Campbell's vo-
cal music class.
Last week was the most notable
week here. The union meeting,
which was postponed, came off and
had a very distinguished lecturer, Dr..
McGlotholin Of the Southern Baptist
seminary, in which he is professor Of
history of religions, also now holds
a very responsible place in the food
conservation commission. We could
never attempt to report the great
speeches he brought on the religions
of the world. He lectured five times
once on Catholicism, once on Ref
ormation, on Methodism, Calvanism
and Baptists. While he is Baptist,
| he was very impartial in his messages
and a statement from Methodist
preacher who said that he never knew
anything like it, and gave over IS
because he said it was worth it, shows
that he offended none. He also made
strong appeal to the people to save
food for our soldiers and Allies. Al
ter it was all over we felt that we
could go out on the green grass ano
lie down and absorb all the great
truths that we heard.
