A Mighty Man.

Topham, the prince of English strong
men, had knots Of muscles where the
armpits are in the ordinary man. He
could take a. bar of iron one and one
half inches in diameter and five feet
long, place the middle of it over the
back of his neck and then force the
ends forward until they met before his
face. On one occasion he called upon
village blacksmith and made of him All
everlasting enemy by picking up num-
Der of horseshoes and swapping them In
two as easily as if they had been pine
sticks.

less Of a fable which is worth a place
here. Unable to make it duly "scary"
we just give the facts (?):
Well up on the eastern part of the
North Carolina coast is a sand spit
of several miles running between the
sea and strip of smooth water. 1t
is called the Nag's Head, because
wreckers used to mount ships Ian
tern on horse and move it along
the shore. The unwary mariner, see
ing the light and naturally suppos-
ing a ships light meant deep water,
came close in, went ashore, was
wrecked with loss of life and goods
to the enrichment of the wrecker.
But the inhabitants have long since
abandoned these crude methods and
now take summer boarders, which is
a good deal safer.
But much as the "Ta rHeel" de-
lights to dwell on the tempestuous
past and prides himself on former
glories "befo the wah", today the
State is progressing, having a mind
capable of handling present-day prob
lens, as witness our "bone dry" pro-
hibition (Which by the way, prohib-
its drinking as much as any law
prohibits any crime) and is doing
her "bit" to raise food, instead Of
importing it from the north as
The Robesonian., 1917-09-10

aforetime, and also her best to con-
serve it. And nowhere are the two
grand organizations, the Red Cross
and the National Special Aid, work
ing with more enthusiasm for the ar
my and navy than here.
And with the enthusiasm for pres
ent tasks the people here and the
very atmosphere instill into the
adopted "Tar Heel" an interest and
pride in her past and~a hope for a
glorious future, so that, taking lib
critics with the toast, we say
"We've come to the land of the long
leaved pine,
The summer land where the sun doth
shine;
May we grow strong if never great
In our new home, The Old North
State"
HERBERT A. GRANTHAM.
The Robesonian., 1917-09-10

it has been inferred that they went
away with the Croatan Indians. So,
altogether, the peculiar English, the
blue eyes, the similarity of names to
the ships company seem to bolster
up, if not to prove, the theory that
they are the descendants of the "lost
colony" or of Indians who intermar-
ried with them.
duced a gang of bandits who ter
rorized the whole of Robson and ad-
joining counties and furnished much
material for realistic literature, but
with the killing Of Henry Berry Low
ry some forty years ago, the reign of
the outlaws ended.
The race problem lies in the fact
that though by an act of the Legis-
lature they are taken out Of the
category of people of COLOR, they
are not compelled to ride in Jim
Grow" cars nor occupy colored wait
ing rooms. They are mostly farm
ers, own much property, and have
their own churches and schools. They
generally build their houses well
back from the road. AS to cleanli-
ness physicians say that they never
hesitate, when necessary, to eat or
sleep in a Croatan house. And yet
there is a separation which is felt
by both the Croatan and the whites.
The Negroes
The other problem is, Of course,
the negro. Some good people may
be shocked to learn that manhood
suffrage" doesn't obtain in North
, Carolina, but acquaintance with the
facts and little reflection will
temper the effect of the shock.
Let one come into country town
here on Saturday p. m. and he will
be struck by the overwhelming pre-.
ponderance of the colored race, and
he will see at once that, if they vot-
ed at all, they would be dominant
and it would be the dominance of lg.
norance, the control of grown people
bv children. One of the difficulties
in the registration Of June 5 was the
! fact that many colored men were MOI
able to give their age. They were
"bawn' about the time of the grea
shake, meaning the Charleston
earthquake.

ton Of "Lumbee", an Indian word
meaning Ozark water. It is a town
which including 8 cotton mill SUBJ
urbs, has population Of some 5000.
It has three banks, some eleven
churches Counting the colored) a
handsome court house, with it's mon
ument to the Confederate dead, some
twelve blocks Of paved streets, and
more attractive houses that look like
homes than you would find in any
town in a months travel.
The two other towns where the
writer's work lies are Maxton and
Red Springs. Maxton is not, as one
might suppose, of German origin, but
is the "ton' or town of the Macs,
and it is impossible to throw a stone
anywhere in this "neck Of the woods"
without hitting Mac, or some 9TH
er Scot.
"That reminds me.' Near Red
Springs is station, "Floral College" !"
and once the college was there, but
it had no connection with horticul-
ture, being named for the famous
Jacobite heroine, Flora Macdonald
who aided the romantic escape Of
"Bonnie Prince Charlie" from the Gus
tcdy of his English foes. The log
buildings of Floral college have dis
appeared but the memory of the he
rome who lived not far from Red
Springs is kept alive, the "Southern
Presbyterian College for girls at
! Red Springs being now known as
"Flora Macdonald" curious instance
of an American college immortaliz-
vryI1 10 fha
British army and whose husband was
also a British officer. The tree is
yet shown where she stood and cheer
ed the red coats as they marched
to battle against the Americans.
! There are some towns and locali-
ties in this State which are attrac-
tive because of their connection with
the past, as Fayetteville (named Of
course after Lafayette), with its
Gothic market house set squarely in
the middle of it's main street, from
the belfry Of which a sunset bell still
rings, souvenir Of slavery times
when every "darkey" had to be at
the quarters" at sunset. Here, by
the way, the writer saw for the first
time the legend, 'Hancy and Heavy
Groceries," instead of Fancy and
Staple"
Another town connected with the
past and distant is New Bern, settled
BY Swiss immigrants and bearing the
impress of Swiss thrift. Any one
who has visited Berne in Switzer
land will remember the "bear pit,
) where tourists and others feed the
real bears, as well as the bears il
stone, bronze, wood or paint, which
arsin evidence all over the city
barking back to a time when SOM
more or less legendary founder slew
i. the bears German, "Baeren Bern"
which infested the locality. A higl
, Swiss official from Ber1e visitin!
New Bern some few years ago pre-
sented to the city six bears in bronze
l and today they are on the front wal

! her namesake in the little republi

children paraded the streets of Lum->
berton. Happy, fairly prosperous,
genial and invariably very polite, the
Negro seems to belong where he is
and where he is appreciated and will,
doubtless, in the appointed time,
come to his own.
First Impressions and Later Ones
If one enters North Carolina dur
ing the night and wakes up well
south, as the writer did, he sizes up
the State as being very flat and, if
it is winter time, very uninteresting.
AS a matter Of fact, it is neither. It
has within it's borders almost every
variety Of soil, climate and produc-
tion. There is even tropical island
of several hundred acres, Smiths
Island, off the mouth Of Cape Fear
river, which phenomenon is due to
a sudden bend inshore of the gulf
stream, which results in the growth
Of such products as would be expect
ed four hundred miles farther south.
There are only two things which
are depressing in North Carolina
land scape. One is the result of the
apparent indisposition of the country
The other is the half dead cypress
swamp which reminds one of nothing
so much as toothless old man dis
playing the remains Of his dental ap-
paratus. While cypress is called
when manufactured the "Woodever-
lasting," it has tendency in the
swamps, where alone it grows, to die
and leave unsightly stumps. And
yet this same swamp has attractions
in the wonderful green Of the young
cypress. This tree, one might well
imagine, had started out to emulate
the oak in size and had then become
discouraged, tapering off as it does
long before it reaches half it's hight
to much less than one-half of the
diameter Of the base.
It was the writer's good fortune
/ to be invited to paddle up the Lum-
Der river three miles before break
fast one morning, and nothing was
more attractive than this same riv-
er whether it was the edge of tie
swamp where the trees, principally
sweet gum, pine and cypress, draped
with Spanish moss, reminded one OF
Longfellows' picture
"The murmuring pine and the hem
i lock
Bearded with moss and in garments
Il rroon X
j
! Stand like harpers hoar, with boards
that rest on their bosoms",
or the dark swift stream with its
banks green to the waters edge ov.
er which now and then a heron would
fit.
