OLD MILLER AND HIS WIFE
ARE TYPICAL OF BELGIUM

as if his part Of the worlds war was
to do his own particular job particular
ly well.
On a certain day General French, dur
ing the second battle of Ypres, climbed
the hill to see what his battery Of big
guns was doing to the German line and
to try to glimpse through the smoke of
the giant battle the lines which were
bending, and, in places, breaking under
the first German gas attack. The old mil
Ter came out from his house, wiping his
mouth with the back of his hand, after
his midday luncheon and followed the
well-worn path from his house to tho
mill without even looking toward the
group Of great milisary leaders twenty
feet distant who were watching tho
making of history in the plains below
them.
Started the Mill.
He pulled q rope which released the
wings Of the great wheel and, with q
great creaking, they began slowly to
whirl in the. smoke laden wind. Then
he climbed up the half dozen rough
steps on which so many of the great men
of the earth have seated themselves and
assembled to the mill room. Within a
few moments we heard the grinding OF
the mill. He was doing his part in thu
great war.
The old miller was the personification
of stubborn Belgium.
Simms' dispatch of Thursday telling
of a white haired couple looking froms
the window Of a little white house as
he stood on a hill watching the fight
from Mount KENNEL marked his stand
ing place as Scherpenberg. The old mil
Ter and his wife haven't gone yet, il
seems, after all these years Of war, wen
though Mount KENNEL, where the Ger
man shells falling is only a mile distant

GERMAN PEACE CONDITIONS
There is Nothing Modest About The
Terms Germany Wants to Lay
Down For Peace Basis.

Germany's conditions of peace are
clearly stated in document found in
a German trench recently re-captured
by Entente allied troops. A resume
Of the principal conditions as given in
an official translation reads:
"After the enormous sacrifices we
have made Of our blood and property,
we exact as a necessary minimum to
the preservation and development of
Germany, the following:
Belgium, especially the Flanders
coast, with Antwerp, is to remain un-
der. German military, economic and
political dependence.
Liberty Of the seas shall be prop
erly established for all nations, the
central powers being allowed a COM
mercial fleet totaling 17,5O0,000 tons
while that Of the Allies should amount
to 100000 tons.-
"Our colonies shall be returned with
augmentation.
eve are to have more numerous and
stronger naval stations.
"The Longwy and Briey mine fields,
which furnished France it's weapons
for attacks, shall become German.
''sReadjustments Of the frontiers,
particularly in the Vosges, are to be
fixed according to the military situa-
ton and the appreciation Of the COM
mandant. Our frontiers must be
such that their defense is made easier
"The former German Baltic prov
inces shall be Incorporated, their rich
soil furnishing new cereal fields for
German peasant emigrants, thus pro-
tecting the empire against the dan
gers Of famine.
Isthania are to be colonized.
Zone million eight hundred thou
sand tons of Runanian petrol will be
at the disposal of Germany.
"Those nations which attacked
peaceful Germany must pay all war
charges in raw materials, ships, ready
money and territorial concessions
leaving Germany with cnly five bill
liens national debt"

MURDER OF W. c. LAMB.
Account of Killing of Former Lum-
berton Man in Florida by Negro.

In The Robes oman Of the 9th inst.
it was stated that Mr.. ". G. Lamb, 9
son of Mr.. 4. B. Lamb Of Lumber
ton, was killed on the 9Th inst. IN
Florida by a negro. The following
was clipped from Florida paper Of
May 10 and handed to The Robson
ian, but there is nothing to indicate
the name Of the paper or where it is
published:
"W. C. Lamb, manager Of the
Flynn n-Harris-Bullard turpentine bus
mess at Sirmons, was shot and killed
by John Wesley, Colored, in the tur-
pentine quarters Monday morning
about 8 o'clock. The weapon used
was a double barrel shot gun, al
though only one shot was fired, strik-
ing Mr.. Lamb in the breast.
"The cause Of the tragedy, as best
we have been able to gather, was
this: It seems that Wesley did not
appear Saturday afternoon at pay
roll. or was too late, and did not get
paid of. On Monday morning he
bought supplies from the commissary
as usual, and it was supposed that he
was going on to work. When he did
not appear, Mr.. Lamb went to or to-
wards his house, presumably to urge
the negro to go to work, and what
took place there we do not know, ex-
cept that Mr. Lamb was shot and
killed. Wesley's wife was witness
to the shooting No white persons, so
far as we know, were there then, and
Mr.. Lambs body was found some
time afterwards by one of the white
men of the still.
''Mr. Lamb had been in this county
only few months and was about as
years Of age.
"After the shooting, Weslay took
the gun and went in a southwest di-
rection and then up to Moseley Hall
to see his brother, Nose Raiford, who
lived on the Sanders place and from
whom he got some water and four
Shells Raiford was brought to town
Tuesday afternoon and placed in
Jail.
"Parties were out all day searching
for Wesley Monday, and he is still
being hunted, but at this writing he
has not been captured. Wesley is!
about So years old and some six feet
sall."
