$50 Pensioners.

The PoST-DISPATCH last week
stated that the county was giving
$4.20 to each of the Confederate
pensioners on its roll. Last year
the amount given them by the
county was $39.89.
The semi-annual vouchers from
the State to the pensioners were
received by the Clerk of Court
today, and are being distributed.
There are 40 men and "a widows
on the State rolls, each of whom
is receiving today $50, with the
exception of Capt. E. F. Fenton
who is of the second class and
receives $3.50. Last summer
the State pensioners received $35,
and now this $50 check brings
the total for 1921 to $85. In 1918
they received $32; in 1919 $50; in
1920 $50 and 1921 $85.

Streets and School.

Representative Everett has in
troduced in the House a bill au.
thorizing an election to be held in
Rockingham for 100000 bond
issue for school Improvement,
and another bill permitting the
town commissioners to issue
bonds not to exceed $225,000 for
street improvement. The pave
ment bill provides that a majority
of freeholders in any unimprov-
ed district must petition before
a debt can be created for that
purpose. And it provides for a
majority of the freeholders, and
not a majority Of the lineal feet
represented.
1t seems certain now that the
town will not need to pave any
part of ihe Wilmington Charlotte
highway-insofar as an 18.foot
roadway is concerned.
The town commissioners have
passed a resolution saying that
the street program would not be
taken up until the school bonds
are voted.
Another bill will regulate the
catching and killing of fish in
this county.
The above three bills will be
formally passed-ratified before
the end of this week.

Meets Marshal Foch.

Our townslady, Mrs. w. Steele
Lowdermilk, and her husband, the
Mayor of Rockingham, were among
the many who went to Monroe on
last Friday night to bid Marshal
Foch welcome to the soil of North
Carolina.
Mrs. Lowdermilk was born and
reared in France, and though she
has been in America for IS years
and is in every sense of the word
an American through and through,
yet she naturally retains a deep
love for her native land. And 50
one can imagine her feelings at
greeting and meeting one of her
countrymen, and speaking to him
in her native tongue. She had seat
on the platform and when the
Marshal was introduced to her, he
bowed and kissed her hand.
Another French woman present
was Mrs. Stanley, of Cheraw, who
was a war-bride, having married
CheraW soldier overseas and return
ed with him.

The POST DISPATCH man es

privilege to have seen Ferdinand
Foch, Marshal of France and
supreme commander of the
allied armies in the World War,
who spent As minutes at Monroe
on Friday night of last week,
from Sis to 9 o'clock. This was
the only point in the State at
which his special train Of five
cars stopped.

Superior Court.

As the paper went to press
last Thursday the t. c. Ellerbe
Will case was being tried. The
case went to the jury Friday af-
ternoon, and the jury remained
hung" until about 9 o'clock Fri
day night, being 9 for the pro-
Founders and 3 for the caveators.
Finally they reached a verdict
and reports in favor of the pro-
FOUNDERS namely, that the Will
should remain as written. Mr..
Ellerbe died some two years ago
and left his property to his wife
and at her death to the Meth
odist Church, South. His broth
ers and other relatives were
seeking to break the Viii on the
ground of mental incapacity.
The Hector Little case was
compromised on Thursday morn
ing for $3.50. He was suing the
Rockingham Ry for damages
when a car overturned Feb. 27,
1919, and badly injured his left
foot. The case took two days to
be tried. The $3.50 to be paid
him is in addition to something
like $1,000 that the railroad had
already paid out in hospital and
doctors bills for him.

In addition to being driver for
the LaFrance fire truck for the
town, Robert Steele, Jr., is also
traffic officer. He has a small
motorcycle and keeps a lookout
over the streets of the town for

His vigilance is being rewarded
by the more orderly manner in
which cars traverse the streets
now.

Charlie Callahan, white, can indi-
directly trace his present difficulty
to the road repair force; had not a
culvert. on. Mt. Greek been in pro-
cess of being repaired, his car would
not have been held up temporarily
and the Sheriff would doubtless
have not noticed him. But such is
fate, luck or whatever one is mind
ed to. call it.
On Tuesday morning Sheriff Nc
Donald and party were on their way
to Steele's township to lay off a
homestead. When they reached
Mountain Greek, on the Black Jack
side, they found the road force re-
pairing it. On the opposite side was
Callahan driving a Ford, waiting to
cross. When the repair was made
and the Sheriff crossed, it occurred
to him that Callahan looked suspi-
cious. Accosting the man, he asked
him whether he had any whiskey.
Callahan replied mo" Investiga-
ton then disclosed two gallons m-
der the rear seat, and two gallons
under Callahan's feet. He was ar
rested, brought to Rockingham and
given a hearing before Squire Null
lis. The magistrate placed his bond
at $400 and this was furnished by
w. I. Mcdonald.
