r i' If T-jf CT" S3 VOLUME XXXIII-NUMBER 31. LAURINBURG. N. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1915. $1.50 PER YEAR, IN ADVANCE ICE PLANT ANOTHER LAURINBURG ENTERPRISE A Twenty-five Ton Ice Plant to be Built in Laurinburg-Great Need of Ice Plant Here Both for Supply of Local Con sumption and for Refrigeration of Cantaloupe and Watermelon Trains. Laurinburg has long needed an ice plant and for a good many seasons the need has become more and more pronounced, and now the necessity of such an enterprise has so impressed itself that tne summer of 191G will find Laurinburg operating a twenty five ton plant and manufacturing its own ice instead of shipping it in from nearby towns. No company has actually been formed for this "purpose, but we have enough information on the subjept to make the statement that an ice plant representing approximately $25,000 capital will be in operation here before another summer is passed. An experienced ice manufac- turerNjrom Atlanta, Ga., ha3been to Laurinburg to go over the situation and was impressed with the necessity of such an enter prise and found the financial en couragement that he was looking for. Laurinburg proper consumes ten tons of ice per day, and with the county raising and shipping four to six hundred cars of can taloupes every year, the con sumption of ice will easily justify the proposed plant. Under the present arrangement, with no ice plant here, all the cantaloupe cars have to be refrigerated at Fayetteville or Harn.let L.th-n hrmpnrittesruisti&ce of JTto 53 miles. and-by thetime they can be loaded they have to be re-iced making the refrigeration of these cars more expensive than it should be. Laurinburg is making rapid strides and is proving itself the most progres sive to ,vn in this section of North Carolina. Every enterprise that is added brings a new payroll, and pay rolls are what good towns are built upon. Let them come, we can stand many more. Rambling Rumors. FLASHES FROM WA6RAM.

It has been definitely decided that Laurinburg will not put out a hired team of baseball players and contest for the eastern charrf- j pionship. This conclusion was reached Saturday. There was a movement on foot to strengthen the local team and get in the fight for the champion shiD. and had Laurinburg gone "into it, it would have been with approximately $250,000 time it looked as if the crop would be short and that the prices would be poor, but in both all were fooled, and the yield and prices were far beyond the hope of the most optimistic. It is a godsend to the people of Scotland county and has brought them out of a deep slough of de spond and thrust upon them an unexpected blessing. We hope to have exact figures as to the crops for ah early issue. Ic is safe to say that it is one of the most choice blessings Scot land county has enjoyed in many years. A Monster Bird.

This office had the pleasure of a visit from Mr. R. A. Peele of Lee county yesterday. Mr. Peele, who formerly lived in Scotland but during the- past year changed his citizenship to Lee county, has been visiting in Scotland the past t-.vr. wpfiks. Mr. Peele iikes his adonted home very much an ? peaks in the highest terms of the good citizenship of Lee, but there is that longing hi his heart to return to good little Scotland, and although he did not say m as much we are inclined to think that Mr. Peele will be a voting citizen of his former home county ere long, and it is a pleasant thought too, for such men as Mr. Peele are greatly missed when they leave a community, ,and Scotland will welcome the return of these good people at any time. Ollie Leake, col., got in bad with the laws that prohibit steal ing and skipping board bills dur ing the past week. Both of these laws he violated. The stealing diarge grew out of the fact that he entered the home of Will Mc Rae, col., and while McRae slept and dreamed took from his trous er pockets the sum of $4.50. This connected with the skipping of his b Dard bill caused him to draw 8 months on the roads. His devilment put him to the bad quick, for within ten Ijours he was arrested, tried, sentenced and was on his way to the roads. The arrest was made by Officer Medlin early Tuesday morning, nd Tuesday mgnt ne . was a member of the Richmond county road force.

There are multitudes in every station of life whu seek to give the world the best they have, and these are they who make our life sweet and worth the living. Our Heavenly Father supplies us in nature with the raw material which we need. Each one comes to this great store-house and takes what will j suit him bset and works it up in terms of his own personality, putting the stamp of himself upon it, and then gives it forth to men for their use. One discovers a physical law and by it promotes health and prolongs life. An other finds a truth in the Book and teaches it to others for their profit. The teacher sees possi bilities in a child and draws them out to the fullest. The author sees a hitherto unnoticed phase of human life and writes of it. ! An artist perpetuates on canvass a sunset not seen by others, while the sculpto hastens to put his thoughts in marble and bronze that the world may retain the best of him after he has gone. One makes a garment to clothe nakedness; another plants and reaps; another scours and cooks, and all of this that the people of the earth may be cared for. You may not be able -to com plete any great wor as you had wished but you can- add some thing as the little coral builders: to what others have. done. It took centuries to erect the graat cathedral at Cologne, and those who laid the foundation were dead many years before its com pletion. Each did the best he could and left the task to those who were to come after him. We inherit the rich things which others have left us; how poor we richer and sweeter, and we shall loqic forward with certainty to a ne .v heaven and i new earth in which dwells righteousness.

The league promoters have, an agreement by which games may be played on grounds other than the home grounds of the oppos ing teams, and that being tne case Laurinburg stands a good show of securing some of these games, provided we go atter them. It will be decidedly to the in terests of the contesting teams to play some of the games here, as Laurinburg is one of the best small towns in the State for baseball enthusiasm and attend ance. We have the best ground in the section, large and com fortable grandstand, and we are well located for all teams con cerned. If we can't. put out a team, let us get busy and have some of the games between the other teams pulled off here. This publication is authorized to extend an invitation to the managers of the teams to come to Laurinburg at any time. We personally guarantee the most cordial treatment to the visitors, and our reputationfor large attendance is sufficient guarantee of a gate receipt equal if not better than any town in this section.

Castleman, rep resentative of a New York in surance company, about $2,000 to sleep in Grand Circus park, Detroit, a few nights ago. When the groundkeeper arrived the next morning, he found Mr. Castleman snoring peacefully. At last, however, the sleeper was awakened, and discovered that an eight-carat diamond ring, a gold watch and $300 in money were missing. The dainty wrist watch has j been pronounc2d a thing unclean. The doctors of St. Luke's hos pital, New York city, ever on the lookout for germs, have decreed that the wrist watch must cease to appear as part of the uniform of nurses, women and men. They say it harbors the fatal little bacilli. As a result of the order, the pulse beats of St; Luke's, in the future, will be counted to the ticks of sterilized timepieces. L i
