High PRICES TUMBLE
AT CENTER MARKET
Vegetables Almost Reach Normal
and Produce Sells Lower.

Hig prices went tumblIng down In
Center Market produce during the last
week. when the first flood Of the
bumper crop swamped the wholesale
and retail dealers. Cabbage, tomatoes,
potatoes! fruits and produce, in many
lines have had the former prices cut
In half, and in other cases Is selling
at one-third of the prices charged a
month ago.
The corn beef and" lover had ~
pay u and Is cents a head for thu
other half of his dinner. Today he
may walk down into the retail division
and get the head of cabbage for OF
5 cents. Or IL he desires to hoard up
crate he can get one today al
nearly one-third the price which was
paid for It a month ago, as today
cabbage is selling for 70 cents a crate
as against the S1.75 and g last month.
Drug stores should cut the price of
lemonade in half, during the next
month since that citrus fruit, which
had been soaring to dizzy heights, has
come back to earth priced at a
fraction more than a cent a piece.
1t looked like old times in the
market yesterday to hear the dealers
asking IL cents a quarter Of a peck
for new potatoes, when in the best of
times the cost for a quarter peck
was around cents.
Trainsloads of watermelons will
soon be arriving north from Georgia,
and though at present a good melon
will cost around 40 cents, the dealers
predict that within couple of weeks
the price for the favorite delicacy o.
the colored population will run down
to 20 and 8 cents.

Trusty Old Dobbin Gets
In High Cost Of Living
When Shoe Prices Rise

High cost of living has hit the shoes
which Old DObbin and Nancy wear.
II you foot the bills for horse
shoeing Of your fsvorIte mount or
draft horse, it costs a bit more than
It used TO.
The Master Horse shoers National
Protective Association, at a recent
meeting. decided that TO meet the
additional cost OF labor. iron shoes
and nails, they must raise the price.
But at that the raise IN price for
each OF the four feet Of the horse
will just about buy a good cigar
And the increase is very democratic
too, as II affects the animal that
draws the heavy beer truck as well
as the miilionairs's PAGER. This IN
crease takes effect the FIRST of Au-
gust.
The streets Of Washington are very
hard and shoes wear out somewhat
quickly.

Some folks become excited when
they see huge pile of money. Others
get the itch in their palms and go

others try to steal 1t.
Not so with Henry Frazer. Friday
evening Henry had a headache, a
toothache, his corns hurt him ana
goodness knowsh what didn't hurt.
He didn't go to a drug store as one
would naturally suppose. He went
into a bank. OF course we know that
the color of green is very restful to
the eye. But here Is how 1t affected
Henry. He looked around at several
kings ransoms and pulled out a flash
and let her go. Right away he want
ed to write a check for the Eu-
ropean war debt and buy the bank.
He was coaxed out Of the bank and
turned over to the tender mercies Of
the First precinct.
1t cost him a ten spot to look at so
much money. but the court had pity
on him and he will have to serve
only five days in default.

OF East Lumberton, Friday of last
week, fine boy.
--latest reports say that the con.
dltlon of Mrs. Frank Cough, who is
IN a private sanatorium in Baltimore
taking treatment under a specialist,
is unimproved.
Mr.. D. H. Britt of Madison, Wis,
was Lumberton visitor Yesterday
Mr.. Britt is spending some time in
the county visiting relatives and
friends. He is former Robesonian,
having gone to Madison some three
years ago. He says while he likes
to live in Wisconsin, he has not found
a better people to live among any,
where than the people of Robson
county.
"A phone message yesterday from
Mr.: w. j. Sansbury, of The Robson
lan's composing room force, advised
that his father died yesterday morn
ing at his home near Timmonsville,
s. G: Mr.. Sansbury, as stated in
Mondays Robesonian, went home

many and by an iniquitious system
so-called suffrage by which the abil.
lty to elect is graded according to
i. wealth, principally, Prussia controls
the Reichstach. Prussianism is es.
sentially belief or doctrine that
it is best for Germany that Prussia

the world that Germany rule the
aside Belgium's "scrap of paper" be-
cause according to this doctrine it
was best that Germany destroy Bel

world that it be destroyed, includ-
ing Belgium.
This is the principal thing that
we are sending our soldiers to pre-
vent-soldiers upon whom not only
60 centuries of Europe look down,
but upon whom the security of the
American government depends.
It was sweet and befitting~for a
Roman soldier to die for his coun-
try, hence the great motto "dulce
ct decorum patrial mori''. This has
been made sweeter by the famous
statement of the patriot that he had
only one life to lose for his coun-
try.
Judge w. M. Bond of Edenton hap
pened to be in town on that day and
he was called on for a speech. Judge
Bond spoke in his usual forceful and
convincing manner and if there was
a Stacker in the audience when he be-
gan he could not have been such when
Judge Bond had finished his splen-
did address. The address was about
the same as the one made by Judge
Bond here at the court house one
night recently and which was pub
lished in recent issue of The Rob-
esonian.
A number of patriotic selections
was rendered before and after the
speaking by the East Lumberton
band, which furnished splendid mus
ic for the occasion. A number of
ladies, representing the local chapter
of the National Special Aid society,
and school girls rendered number
of patriotic selections, such as "Amer-
ica", "Carolina" and "The Star Span
gled Banner.
After the exercises in the court
house were over, the drafted men
were invited out on the court house
square, where a watermelon feast
was enjoyed. There were plenty of
melons and some to spare.
The occasion was one that will
linger in the memory not only of the
drafted men who must go to the
front and fight for liberty and free
dom, but all those who honored the
drafted men by their presence.
