Early in September Austin Greene,

Old white girl, on the streets Of Hen

provocation. The girl didn't know

prison for safety.
It was thought for a time that
Jessie Roth would die, but later he1
condition improved and her recovery
was expected. Under the circumstances
the negroes offense was secret as
sault with deadly weapon. He was
promptly convicted and given the lin

Roth's condition grew worse. She wa!
taken to hospital in Richmond ane

THE COUNTY FAIR.

The county fair last week was de-
cided success. The exhibits were fine
and the crowds that attended each
day exceeded spectations. Manager
w. o. Thompson labored hard to make
at a success and he is to be congratu-
lated. The exhibits of poultry, live
stock, canned goods, corn and other
farm products would have done cred
It to any fair, and the baby contest,
the community booths-there were
decidedly too few booths-and other
features of the fair were excellent.
af the carnival had been absent there
would be no reason toadd "but" to
the foregoing.
AS was to have been expected, the
gambling schemes that were allow
ed to run full blast, unmolested and
1nafraid, on the midway brought
forth severe criticism. They should
never have been allowed. No doubt
the carnival people themselves were
surprised. They no doubt pulled those
things on a venture merely, expect
ing that part of the midway to be
closed; and of course they were tick
led to death that it was not. 1t is
all the more astonishing that these
things were allowed when one re-
members that Lumberton has been
one of the most straight-laced towns
on the map. 1t has been some years
since it has been possible, until last
week, to put over anything like that
here, and it is to be hoped that never
again will such thing be allowed.
Aside from the gambling devices
the carnival had no especially OBJ
-jectionable features, as carnivals 60
But many people object to a carnival
IN connection with the county fair
II is no doubt true that it helped tc
draw the large crowds that attended
every day, but perhaps the crowds
would have been here anyway; anC
certainly some people who helped ma.
terially in making the fair a success
the first two years held themselves
--aioof and would have nothing to de
with the fair this year solely because
Of their disapproval of the carniva
features. The cooperation of thes,
people is more to be desired than an,
help a carnival can give in drawing
crowds.
1t is worth while to try to built
up a county agricultural fair solel,
on its merits as a competitive exhib
it of farm products, live stock, etc
without ringing in a carnival TIL
RObesonian believes it can be don
and hopes that next year no carniva
will be allowed.

An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stomach
will rebel. When a man reaches the
advanced age of 85 or 90, you will
find that he is a light eater. Be as
careful as you will, however, you will
occasionally eat more than you should
and will feel the need Of Chamber
lain's Tablets to correct the disor-
der. These tablets do not contain pep
sin, but strengthen the stomach and
enable it to perform it's functions nat
urally. They also cause gentle
movement of the bowels.

Business Men Best Farmers.


1T may be disputed and appear I'M
probable, but it is nevertheless true
that the best farmers are not those
who are brought up on the farm and
educated as farmers, but rather those
who go on to the farm from other &C.
cupations," remarked James Hayden, a
stockman of Montana, according to the
Washington Post. Montana, you may
know, has become an agricultural state
in the last decade. Before that we
were q stock state, and there was very
little real farming done. We have had
immigrants from all parts Of the coun-
try who have gone on to farms. Many
have become rich, because Montana
land is rich agricultural land. Investi-
CATION has been made in all parts Of
the country to learn who make the
most successful farmers and why.
These inquiries have invariably shown
that the best farmers are progressive
men. By that mean men who are
Intelligent and aggressive. They are
doctors, merchants, lawyers, clerks and
others. The professional man usually
makes successful farmer because, as
a rule, he applies to farming that sys-
tematic, orderly intelligence which
made him a success in his profession"

Hetty Green Chanded Faith.

Mrs. Hetty Green, who was frequent
ly called the richest woman in the
world and was reared in the Quaker
faith, accepted the Episcopalian creed
three years before her death to be
buried in the family plot with her hus-
band. The story became known in
transfer tax proceedings to determine
Mrs. Green's legal place Of abode.
''Mrs. Green's attachment" said one
Of the estates lawyers, "for the place
to which her young husband took her
as his bride fifty years ago was so
strong that she was baptized into the
Episcopal faith few years before her
death because she feared she otherwise
might not be permitted to lie after
death beside her husband in the GEM
etery of that church in Bellows Falls"
From the New York Sun.
