Bad Night For Cars.

Last night "wednesday was a
slippery time for cars on the
Rockingham Hamlet detour road,
A large truck from Lumberton,
loaded with furniture, mired to
the axle opposite the c. V. Will
liams place, and the Hamlet Coco
Cola truck became mired nearby
also. Then about 9 o'clock a Car
driven by ]. w. Jenkins slipped
into a ditch, and turned on its
side, and a Ford Coupe driven by
M. W. McRae performed the
same stunt No one was hurt ir7
any of the near wrecks.

WHO is boss in the. horne

Who is boss in the. horne?
Most men would say that they
are, while a majority of the wom-
en- would insist that this is their
prerogative.
1t is probable that in most
cases the woman is the boss il
there is one. But in reality there
should be none.
The happiest and most success.
full homes are those where mu.
tual confidence and a sincere de.
sire to cooperate exists.
Such a home needs no boss
although a guiding spirit is al.
ways essential.
Leave the management of the
home to the wives. They have
forgotten more in that realm
than the husbands will ever
know.

Too Much Rain.

This section has been visited
by too much rain for the past
two weeks, the boil weevil as a
consequence is making tremen-
dShs inYoads into the cotton crop
Of Richmond county. Up until
the rains set in, it was thought
the picking up of squares and
other preventive measurer would
hold the pest in check, but with
wet weather the weevil has start
ed in in earnest. Many farmer:
who a month ago thought thes
would make a bale to the acre
now hvee no idea of making
lhaif a bale.

they are not the only ones af-
fected. Every day the strike
continues a larger and larger
number Of persons engaged IN
secondary or allied industries
which depend upon the larger in
dustries arethrown into involun-
tary unemployment. And so it
is seen that the economic burden
placed upon the whole country is
enormous.
The real suffering falls upon
the hundreds of thousands Of
people whoars not connected with
the strike who are not nearly
50 well paid as the railroad fel
lows but who must suffer be
cause of the railroad mems strik
ling. And the whole matter
finally resolves Itself into this

: The Laurinburg Exchange
states that the postal receipts
fort the Laurinburg postoffice for
the first six months of 1921
amounted to $6,88393, as COM
pared with $7,266O5 for the first
sixsmonths of 1922.
The PosTlD DISPATCH has not
the figures for the Rockingham
postofice for comparative six
months period, but we have for
a three months period. The
postal receipts at Rockingham
for quarter ending June 3Oth,
1921, amounted to $3375.89, as
compared with $361S.& for
the three months ending June
30th, 1922.
A comparison of the posta
business of Laurinburg and Rock
lingham shows them to be nil
and tuck.
| Laurinburg's population, &C
cording to the 1920 census, wa:
2643, of which number 104l ar'
colored and 1902 are white. Rock
lingham's population was 2509, o
(which 876 are colored and 1863
white.
In connection with the allow
population figures of the tw'
Towns, which show Laurinburl
Ito be a trifle the larger right now
Lit is interesting to note that dur
ling the past ten years Rocking
,Iham gained 80 more inhabitant
than Laurinburg. In 1910 Rock
[ingham had 2155 to 1888 70
Laurinburg, which deducte'
from the 1920 census gives Rock
Iingham an increase during tn
ten-year period Of 354 to an ii
crease of 32l for our Scotlan
county neighbor.

In the news columns of the
POST DISPATCH is mentioned the
fact that the Rockingham high
school is the ONLY high school
between Shelby and Wilmington
Except Laurinburg), and between
the Virginia line and South Caro-.
lima line, down the Seaboard, lex.
cept Raleigh that is accredited
by the Southern Association OF
Secondary Schools and Colleges.
We wonder if our people fully
are alive to this fact, and proper.
ly appreciate it. As a matter Oh
fact, pupils from the larger cities
would do well to attend the Rock
ingham high school if it could b.
done, such is the standing ane
rating of our most excellent
school IT'S a fine thing for Z
county to have such a school, and
Richmond county should BIZ
proLI of this one.

No single season in recent years
has seen so many Improvements in
sBifcR cars as the present one; AMI
never has the Buick line been SO
complete.
THE engine, fol. example, Is fitted
with longer pistons and connecting
rods, adding to the smoothness and
|Ibne wear for which the Buick
engine has always been noted, A
new rear spring suspension has
been devised which is undoubtedly
the highest development of the can

frame, the transmission, the rear
axle, the brakes, the bodies and
their equipment, each shows the
hand of skilled designer by some
new and valuable features.
The insurance companies have
| rated all fourteen models as Glass
"A" fire risks, because of the safety
of their electrical and gasoline sys
TENS and have materially reduced
the stheft insurance rates. This
means a big saving in insurance
premiums over cars not SO rated; i
also indicates the close attention u
detail that has been paid to these
| Buick cars for season of 1928.
As. in the case of the six-cylindel
models, the Buick four-cylinder car
have been redesigned this season
not merely in the sense of givint
them a new appearance, but will

i These changes begin with tn
4 frame, which has been entirely re
designed, and continue through tn
important mechanical units of tn
car, from an easier and simple
method of oiling the rocker arms t
an improved method of driving tn

The body is larger and roomiel
with lower lines and added grace 9

improved tenders, top, Windshield

There is an improved spring SUI
