IN SOLITUDE
Written for The Robesonian.

Written for The Robesonian.
Far away from the city's dust and din,
Far from the hurrying prattle OF
men,
Away from the noise Of the street,
the whirring car wheels,
Let me be alone afar in the fields.
Alone under the trees that are sigh
ing soft and low
AS they bend their strong boughs to
and fro,
Let me watch the song birds a-flying
Across the sky as they come and go.
;.
Oh, quiet! Let solitude be my seat
Far away in the open, far from the
rattle Of the street
And rafting tongues that never
cease!
Give me quiet-they disturb my
dreams of peace.
In the quiet I can study the stars
bright,
And how they diffuse the rays of
beautiful light.
Let me be alone. There the ways of
the world I can learn
In solitude. Alone for these yearn.
Pm not selfish, I pray,
Because I love to be far away
In the quiet just one day,
For I laugh and sometimes am gay.
I love my comrade, love my fellow
man,
But him, all the time to scan
| despise, hate. Leave me alone
Just one day where I'm unknown.
Let me be. In forest or field
I'll walk-I hate wheels
And quiet, for loneliness I love.
No company I want save God above
W. V. B

A Peoples War

"The great fact that stands out
above all the rest is that this is a
Peoples War, war for freedom and
justice and self-governing amongst
all the nations of the world, a war
to make the world safe for the peo-
pies who live upon it and have made
it their own, the German people them
selves included; and that with us rests
the choice to break through all these
hypocrisies and patent cheats and
masks of brute force and help set the
world free, Or else stand aside and
let it be dominated long age through
by sheer weight Of arms and the ar
bitrary choices of self-constituted
masters, by the nation which can
maintain the biggest armies and the
most irresistible armaments-a pow,
er to which the world has afforded
no parallel and in the face of which
political freedom must wither anC
perish" Woodrow Wilson, President
of the United States.

Remarks on the Sunday School

To the Editor of The Robesonian.
Dear friends and well-beloved
readers of The Robesonian, I take
a great authority ard pleasure in
advancing a few thoughts in Your
well-beloved paper. First we notice
the good of Sabbath school. It will
take you and will teach you about
Christ and His; End it will teach you
how to treat your neighbors and that
is one of the greatest things we
should know. When we have known
how to treat our neighbors we have
learned one of the greatest command
ments. Dear friends, I speak of this
simply for this purpose, there are so
many pupils that claim to be Chris
tians and yet will talk about their
neighbors. They have that conceal
ed anger in their soul against their
fellowman. l warn you for this rea-
son, there is a great separation day
coming when we must go before our
Judge. We talk of war, but there is
a greater war than this one coming,
and we should be ready to stand on
trial.
Coming to the subject, the Sun
day school is the place to get your
start. I have been attending Sab
bath school for the last 10 years and
I have found reality is Sunday school.
Oh, young men and young women, I
wish you would attend Sabbath
school. You would not be in so much
trouble. You can find pleasure in
Sabbath school. If you want to find
Jesus go to Sunday school, NV friend.
II care not where 1 go, if I find a
Sabbath school I take part with the
members. May you decide to do
more for Christ in the future than
you have in the past; and with these
few remarks I remain in Christ.

IS CENTS IS ENOUGH

..-1S-, II. Thinks It YVculd be Ruination
to Pay 81 the Hundred for Picking
Cotton
To the Editor Of The Robesonian:
In defense Of the poor tenant far
mer I will say a few words, having
noticed a news item in The Robson
ing relative to cotton picking and the
price which some farmers say they
are going to pay. l would be glad
if the landlords would consider the
oppression Of the poor tenant who is
farming for third of the lint cot
ton and no seed, and has to buy his
foodstuffs at such a high cost, not
having land to make corn. The land
lord wants all the best land in cot
ton, so by March he is buying corn
meat, and everything else, and then
pay the price the merchant charges
for what he buys.
And on top Of this the other land
lord fixes the price for picking cot;
picking cotton at $1.oO the hundred
pounds.
l would like to see or hear from
the man who knows where the left
over is to buy shoes and books fol
their children to go to school.
Unless we We're getting so cents
per pound for lint, God pity thu
poor tenant farmer who only gets L:
lint and no seed and then pay $1.O(
for picking.
We are willing and will pay Z;
cents for picking, and think Thu
enough till We get more for cotton
