Austrian LIBERALIZATION
DiSCredited in Germany

Amsterdam, Aug. 18.-The reported
project OF the Austrian premier, Baron
Won Hussarek, for the liberalization
OF Austria-Hungary, details Of which
were published in the Czech radical
newspaper, Czech, 'of Prague, inds
very little credence in the German
press. The Berlin Vossische Zeitung
takes it more seriously, and, while
saying the report doubtless is untrue
in the form given, adds it remains to
be seen whether il is an absolute In
vention or premature and distorted
disclosure of certain definite propo-
stions.
l"It is clear" says the newspaper,
shat the constitution prevents Baron
Won Hussarek from converting the
monarchy into a federation, All he
can undertake is to reshape the consti-
tuition of Austria without Hungary"

published an account of a great meet
ing held in one of the towns where
the Governor of the State was pres
ent, and he came to express to the
people of that community what the
United States meant by coming into
the war. 1t was the day after the
first draft had been made for young
fellows to 60 to the training camps.
They seated the young fellows in the
front of the hall and the Governor
addressed them in most befitting
terms and the whole community met
there to honor them. He read the
list with great pleasure, many of
them being men and sons of men
whom he had known all his life, and
in the list were many whose names
were Macleod, Macdonald, Mcneil
and Mac everything else. Those mer
who went from this land were com

"He took the liberty to tell then
another thing about that settlement
of Scots. They had there an extra
ordinarily good school for girls, which
they had named Flora MACEDONIA,
College. It's principal was a Scottish
teacher. Its board of trustees wer,

of course, many of it's pupils were o.

The Robesonian. [volume] (Lumberton, N.C.) 1870-current, 1918-02-21

which he told him this little story.
He said at the last meeting of the
trustees of the school it was sug
gested, after full consideration, that
probably there might be in Scotland
when the war ended, children who
had been orphaned by this awful con-
flict, and who would have to be taken
up by their country neighbors and
kinspeople, and they said to them
selves, why should not we help in
that?' They had sent an invitation
to the proper persons in Scotland,
| asking if they might have the privi-
lege, if there were such girls, to have
number of them sent to the United
States to become a part Of them.
They would take them into their
families, these honorable and high
minded kinsmen of theirs, adopt
them as their own children, take
them to this school free Of all charge,
keep them there and educate them
and they educated very well-and
then, when their schooling was done,
take them back into their homes to
become an integral and affectionate
part Of those people. (Applause) He
need not say that they did not regard
this as charity; they regarded it
as a high privilege, and it was their
way OF saying in that prosperous and
remote agricultural community that
"their blood is your blood STILL
| (Applause.)
"The Lord Provost touched him
very much also by his allusion to
| the hospitality that they were pro-
viding here for American soldiers.
He took the liberty in the name Of his
Government most heartily to express
it's appreciation of their kindness and
generosity, and he would take the
liberty to report this Immediately to
the Government of the United States
It was like them, and he aassured
them it would be most heartily ap-
preciated by the forces and by the
Government of the United States.
They were indebted already to the ger
tlemen amongst them with large
American interests for much that
they had done to help them in the
development Of their country. They
were indebted to them still more fol
that most graceful act towards
American soldiers''

NATIVE SCOTS OF GOD
BLESSED MACS
State Journal.

State Journal.
On the second of November, 1917,
the American Ambassador to the
Court of st. James, Walter H. Page,
was royalty entertained in the city
of Edinburgh, where he was made
Burgess of Edinburgh and an LID.
of Edinburgh University.
The Edinburgh Scotsman" of the
third of November says:
"The casket in which the burgess
ticket was enclosed is cylindrical in
form, and is encircled by two heavily
chased bands with Celtic ornamen-
tations. On one side of the casket is
a thistle border inscribed shield, and
ON the other side the arms of the
city of Edinburgh, chased in high re-
lief.
AFTER the ceremony DR.. Page was
entertained at luncheon in the new
Council chambers. The Lord Pro-
vost presided and proposed the toasts
of His Majesty the King and The
President of the United States,
which were cordially honored.
''In proposing the toast of Our
Guest the Lord Provost, who is Sir
John Lorne Macleod, mentioned the
fact that Mr.. Page was a native of
North Carolina, State which in the
past had very peculiar and intimate
connections with Scotland. Thou
sands of men and women of Scotland
went forth to that State, and it might
not be unworthy to mention that
amongst those who went, there was

aid of Kingsburgh, a descendant of

"The Lord Provost proceeded to re-
fer to the city's associations with the
people of America, and said that to-
day they looked forward to the Wis.
itation of American troops. He was
glad to say that the citizens of Edin

for the honor they had done him. H

St. Pauls Messenger.
Tuesday we went to Parkton and
went by the old DR.. McNatt place
and on that road we saw field after
field white with cotton and in one
field we counted % pickers. Hun
dreds and hundreds of pounds of cot.
ton were scattered on the ground
where it had fallen out.
It looks like the height of folly to
plant more cotton than can be har-
vested. The loss of the fertilizer, la
Dor and the use of the land is more
than enough it would seem to con-
vince the average man. Grow some
cotton, make pasture, raise small
grain and livestock, and cut your la
Dor expense, you will make money
easier, grow wealthy and be happy.

About Consultation.

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese. tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated, however, the sure way is
to take one or two of Chamberlain's
Tablets Immediately after supper.
