To the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Knowing that the farmers generally
Of Robson and adjoining counties are
subscribers of your valuable paper,
and being citizens of this good old
county ourselves for II years, we have
found no other way to reach the peo-
Die as we'll as through your paper.
AS it will only be a short time, IN
til. the tobacco markets throughout
the South Carolina belt will be mi
| full blast, we wish to state that We
will again be at the same OLD stand,
the Fairmont Tobacco Warehouse.
AS most of the farmers know, we
are the oldest tobacco warehouse i!fnl
| in the county. Members OF our flfin
are now citizens Of this our county.
| We were with you when the prices
of tobacco and other farm pfoducts
were not SO good as they are today,
We are with you in adversely as well
as prosperity. In other words, your
interest is our interest.
We have labored hard and our la
bors have been crowned with success
in helping to build for the farmers OF
this and adjoining counties one OF me
best tobacco markets in the SouEh
Carolina belt.
There are two other strong ware
house firms in our market, making
strorg competition, but regardless OF
all competition we make no ldle
boast when we say that we have led
all warehouse firms in the county for
II wears: and we feel grateful to each
and all for their COOPERATION, and
YOU can rest assured that we Will
continue to work hard, and it will be
our pleasure at the Fairmont Ware
house with it's entire force to assist
you in every way we can to advance
your best interest.
Our market at Fairnont last year
sold over five million pounds OF TO-
bacco at prices entirely satisfactory
to the farmers, and we have ample
floor space to sell eight millions.
During our % years OF warehouse
experience we have never seen pros
poets better for high prices, so we
don't hesitate to say to each anee
all Of you it will pay you well to lool
after your tobacco and save it all, anf
don't allow the suckers to sap th'
leaf Of it's weight. Let it get ripe be
fore you pull it off the stalk, ant
watch the order you have it IN closely
before you put it on the market.
Our market will be we'll supplied
with hogsheads and hogshead mater
ial.
We are not expecting any troubl
with the shipping arrangements as tn
Government recognizes the necesslt
of our soldiers having tobacco.
We expect, and have the assur
ance, that the big companies, as we
as all the Independent concerns q
note, will have their buyers here TO

I scarcely knew how a home-rais ed

child had only been sick few days.
Little Nash was bright, lovely child,

A Splendid Opening.

The Liberty Loan campaign opened
gloriously in Wilmington, Saturday. With
the splendid subscription by Rev. Father
John J. Connolly OF st. Thomas r. c.
Church, safe investment Of part of the
fund of a hundred thousand recently
raised by him for his church-as a starter,
the work was carried on withgreat rapidity.
The total subscriptions for tho day amount
ed to little more than a million dollars.
Reports from districts down the State
also showed gratifying results.
With such start. there is every
reason TO believe this State will not only
subscribe its minimum quota Of little
more than six million dollars, but will
achieve the grand goal of the maximum
allotment of more than twelve millions.
And why not? The security is ample,
and the interest, AZ the rate Of Ill per
cent per annum, makes these bonds q
good solid investment. What more could
the people ask?
Nothing. And they are going to gobblc
up this third Liberty Loan long before the
expiration of the month allotted TO t..
The opening days results give assurance
of this. From all parts Of the country
the returns of Saturday are most inspiring.

A Most Ficndish Crime.

In consequence of finding particles Of
glass in large batch Of bread baked in an
East Side bakery in New York City, one
day last week, AZ enemy aliens who were
among the 10 employees were ordered
discharged by the authorities. At the
same time complaints were received of
glass being found in bread, ginger snaps
and other baked stuff.
Ground glass taken into the stomach is
almost always fatal. IL not, it leaves the
victim in sad condition. Such methods
of injury are devilish, even fendish'
Their employment at the bakeries of this
country is attributed to German SYM
pathizers, who take this dastardly course
to help the Fatherland.
The difficulty in discovering the per-
petrators Of such ficndish crimes is we'll
known, andnaturally, reprisals are thought
of. One method suggested is to feed
classified bread to German enemies
at intcrnmcnt camps, which might in
duce the fiends 10 withhold their hands.
And in sense this would be only rctrib-
utive justice.
But while such practices arc in full
accord with German "kultur," they arc
at variance with the American sense ot
honor. We could not bring ourselves to
such low level. Therefore, we can only
