An Interesting Character

JOhn b. JODSOu, lue luVcACol VI
the remarkable pillow which bears his
theories of soil tiIlage, is one of the
most interesting characters in Geor-
gia. He is even more remarkable
than anything he has yet produced,
for his gritty struggle for over fifty
years to realize the big dream of his
life marks him as a man OF unusual
tenacity of purpose and answering
faith in the soundness OF his own
Judgment.
Born in Houston county, Georgia,
sixty-six years ago, John B. Jobson
was brought up to know the value OF
honest toll. When nineteen years OF
age he hired out as regular farm
hand at $3.50 per month, and it was
his duty to get up at daybreak and
blow the horn to start 46-ploW
plantation on it's long summer-day
stretch of activity.
It was just at this time and on
this very plantation that young job
son began to study the underlying
principles of plant growth and plant
| culture, and then and there he con-
ceived the idea of a deep reaching
tiller that would be practical for the
| he worked and schemed to get an in
| strument that would prevent the clay
| from being brought to the top to
bake and clod.
His first ideas, he admits, were not
/ practical, and were laid aside for
many years, until he became an TX
pert mechanically as well as agricul-
turally. When he did complete his
famous pillow, about the year 1905, he
continued to conduct experiments
and further perfect it until now he
| ic mi that
nothing further remains to be done
| but to give the result of his labor to
the people.
AS announced in recent issue OF

Sense System has been brought to
our county and is being introduced
by some Of the most prominent and
public spirited merchants and lead
ers of the people.

fastened under the woman's arms

have answered for both-that is, the

Robson County Fair.
Judging from the general talk heard
by the reporter, the county far,
which will be held in Lumberton No
vember 6, 7,8 and 9, is going to be
a big fair--one that will n, make folks
sit up and take notice. The fair is
going to be largely attended. AS a
man remarked recently, "this is not
Lumberton fair, but a Robson
county fair, and the people Of every
nook and corner of the county should
be interested in the fair. Every far
mer in the county should have some
thing on exhibition. Prizes have been
offered for all sorts of farm products,
cattle and poultry. Have something
on exhibition at the fair and by all
means bring your family to see the
exhibits.
"Cuss" Somebody or Something.
The reporter is often asked why
doesn't the paper "cuss" somebody
out about some certain thing. These
same people want the paper to take
| the responsibility of "cussing" some
body. They would not be willing ia
write an article about the same mat
ter and sign their name to it.

They're Sorry Now.
The reporter has seen one farmer
who was not smiling about 25-cent
cotton. While talking to that farm.
er it was learned that he had engag.
ed his cotton at 10 cents the pound
Quite a number of farmers in the
county engaged their cotton at thai
price. It's hard, but fair.
Don't Borrow Your Neighbours Paper
Several Robesonian subscribers have
complained to the reporter that theil
neighbors don't take The Robson

often before they have time to reat

it away. Now isn't that bad? Sucl

DOMESTIC END OF FAIR
Ladies Will Have Special Displays
That Will Open Folks Eyes
One Day Will be Set Aside as
Children's Day.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
The domestic science end of the
fair at Lumberton this time seems
to be having the attention
of the ladies more than ever. Already
many have expressed the desire to
have special displays from what
they-say will open the eyes of many
people. Everybody knows that when
the ladies get behind an entertain
ment of any kind they are determin-
ed not to be beat.
This department will be under the
management of Mrs. A. S. King,
who will gladly give all the infor-
nation any one will wish. The ar
rangements of the community booths
will represent midway in itself of
all kinds of fancy work, canned fruits
and vegetables, old curosities that
were made long ago. This will be in
teresting to many just to see these
and mothers made and wore.
1t is now guesswork as to who will
be the lucky one when the premiums
are awarded. Who will have the larg-
est pumpkin, largest turnip, the long
est ear of corn and the best tobacco
You should see the premium list.
1t is now expected to set aside one
day, probably Wednesday, November
7th, as children's day, and all schoo
children will be admitted on that da1
for half price. That's only 5 cents
| but there must not be less than ter
in crowd. We will have specia
shows for them that day.

HAIG LAUNCHES BIG DRIVE
All Detectives of First Day Won
and Held-Heavy Casualties In
flicted on Germans and British
Losses Slight.

Press Summary, Oct. ,.
The anticipated renewal Of Field
Marshal Haig's big offensive IN
Flanders has begun and all the OBJ
iectives of the first day have been
won and held.
AS in the preceding attacks the lat
est one was timed to the minute. Inc
British forces at the given signal at
daylight swarmed from their trenches
over ground that had been narrowed
by myraids of shells from the great
array Of artillery and all along the
front of more than eight miles from
south Of Tower Hamlets to the north
of Langemarck they made notable
new gains of terrain, inflicted heavy
casualties on the Germans, while
themselves suffering slight losses and
took many prisoners, large numbers
of whom gladly surrendered in order
to reach a haven Of safety from the
maelstrom.
The attack was delivered with all
the dash of previous offenslves and
swiftly anu Surely IIic DAACASiIOAS, AOC-
withstanding heavy counter attacks
at various points, took positions that
had been marked out for them-some
of them to depth Of more than a
mile. The main ridge of the heights
running north and south to the east OF
Ypres, which affords dominating
point for the launching of future at
tacks is nearly all in the hands OF
the Britishers and at several points
the Ostend ?Lille railway now is vir.
tually within the range of Haig's
guns.
More than 5000 German prisoners
had been passed behind the lines
when the latest official communica.
ton was sent and many others were
being gathered in.
Especially bitter fighting occurred
tothe east of Zonnebeke, the nearest
| point of approach to the railway line
which connects Ostend, Zeerbruggt
and other northern points Of supply
with the German line to the south
The efforts of the Germans to sta,
the Britishers here were fruitless
however, as likewise were their eff
forts farther north in the region O.
Poelscapelle, where the British gain
ed ground to depth Of about two
thirds of a mile.

Zollverin, or customs union, had

OF all the German states, but had
left Austria outside. the pale.
From 1910 to 1850 the German
nation, however, was torn with
dlssensions, radical uprisings, pop
ular clamor for direct representa-
ton, and open revolution.
A radical national assembly met
at Frankfort to form a national
government for all Germany, but
after endless chickering's a period
of reaction set in, which swamped
the national assembly and stifled
reform.

The first step he took to realize
this policy was the unjustified as
sault of Prussia and Austria upon
Denmark, as a result of which the
duchess of Schleswig and Holstein
were torn from Denmark.
Austria and Prussia at once
began to quarrel over the spoils
and in 1866 went to war.
The southern German states
aided Austria.
Prussia had prepared for all
this. Her victory was quick and
complete. Peace was signed al
Prague.
Bismarck purposely treated
Austria with leniency.
Prussia was made supreme in q
north German confederacy, and in
corporated with herself Schleswig-
Holstein, Hanover, Nassau and
other of the north German states,
Austria was elected from mem
bership in the Germanic body
and Bavaria and the other south
German states agreed to put their
military forces under the supreme

Berlin now was practically the
German capital, and Prussia had
