Robinson, of Tarheel, Dies From Gunshot Wound In flicted Accidentally While > Duck Huntkjg^^ 'ElisahethtowU, Nov. 3.;—William W. Robeson, of Tar Heel, merchant, farmer dud one of the county’s most prominent and highly esteemed citi zens, passed away Sunday night at Pittman’s hospital, Fayetteville, where he had been for twenty-four hpiir^s \foIlowing a gunshot wound in flicted accidentally on Saturday af- temopn about dusk when he, to gether with C. L. Shuford, L. K. 'Gaines and U. S. Page, 'were shoot ing ducks at' Page’s Lake. > Mr. Page and Mr. ^tobeson were in a' boat together about a hal’ mile from the other two men. Mr. Robe son had Just shot and killed , a di^k and "was reaching over to pick him up; vfhen the boat' crpened to one sidp. Mr. Page, whb was dlc-o in' the' act of shooting, fell forward and as?.he tried to grasp the side of ;the host to steady him'self ^his gun ac cidentally discharged, the charge lodging In tke" lower part of Mr. Kooeson’s back. 'I The boat filled with water and sank with both men in it. Mr. Page grasped Mr. Robeson and held him up above the water until the other' two men could reach them. Mri Robeson was rushed to Pitt man’s hospital in Fayetteville. At first some hope for his recovery was entertained. Mr. Robeson was a native of this county and one of the most beloved men in his community,* where he has lived since his birth. He was 35 years old, a ihember of the Ameri can Legion, having been one of the first citizens of t^ county to vol unteer for service overseas, an elder in his church and chairman of the local school hoard. He was educated at State College and‘^.Since, returning: Pin^ce* has been engaged to' Mr. M. G. Mann, assistant mana ger of the North Carolina Go-bper atlve Cotton 'Marketing Association, st>oke to -a ^all audience of Hoke county farmers in the Court House auditorium at ektyen o’clock Wed nesday morning and endeavored to reassured tlie members and convince them that affairs were well with the co-bps. Dissatisfaction has been growing among individual members for some time and Mr. Mann’s talk was timely and helpful. Mr. Mann'Was Introduced by Mr.. A. D. Ennett, of Laurinburg, field manager of the associatiou and im mediately' launched forth into his talk, taking up flii-at t^c" question about the 1929 pool. It. was reas suring^tb the men who had cotton in this pool to learn that the asso ciation would begin to mall, on Thursdqy of this week, additional checks to the members of the pool in 1929, paying them for staples and grades over 7-8 middlinfe. The funds for this payment have been recent ly secured from the Federal Farm Board and n sum of jM30,000.00 has been , deppelted^^n the Wachovia .Bank at Ralelgm' from which the checks would b6 drawn. Mr. Mann explained that tht Co-ops have prov ed!'to the Board" that North Caro lina cotton is more valuable tb con sumers at Interior itqiulB and at Norfolk and on this basis an addi tional payment of flfty^to Sqvent^ve' cents l)er bale will be given to mem bers tkrough refunds on frolght.Thls latter refund will amount^n • itself tb '$80,000J)0 In North Carolina. “The' Federal Farm Relief Act,'’ said Mr. Mann, “Js the .AnestShit of. legislative 'help to the farmer that has ever been enacted by, our gov ernment. , I ha'Ve no patlencq with politicians, no matter .vrhat their party, or with any others whq pro claim 'it a faUure, Sectlop 9 of that act provides -for the Stabilisation Corporatlqn, which has at its com mand a revomrig fpnd of 36,000,000.- 00, by the uSe of^whfeh they cah work for the stabilization of the price of cotton.

P, MAKE ADDRESS HERE Pr^esident N. C. University to Speak in High Schooi, Auditorium Nov ember 25—Spoke Here Several Years Ago and Is Weil ~ Kno.wn. ■ ■ • ■ . ' Dr. Frank porter Graham, Presi dent of the .University pf North Carolina, ■will speak in the Raeford High School auditorium at seven thirty on the evening of November 25th, under the auspices of the Ed ucational Department of the Wom an’s Club, according to announce ment made this week by club lead ers in-the county. The public is in vited to hear this gifted educator who holds one of the mest respon sible positions in educational cir cles to the South. Dr. Graham is no stranger in Hoke County, having addressed the county teachers here several years ago at which time he made a pro found impression on those who heard him.'' He has many realiives and warm personal friends here who will delight to have him here. Over at old Longstreet Church is the Fort Bragg reservation lie" buried many of his ancestors and the upp eCrape Fear section claims him as their son. His elevation to the presidency of the state university this year af forded an insight into the real man that is quite unique in public office. A teacher of history at the univer sity, he avoided any race for the presidency and almost bly' force made his friends throughout the state stop a. boom for him that was spreading like wild fire. Finally, when the board of trustees met, despite booms for other candidates, the name of Frank Graham would not down and after about two bal lots he was unanimously elected to head the university. After being notified of the high honor that came to blm, he still insisted that another haVe the post but when he saw that further resistance was useless, in s hoarse voice he'stated that "hy the help of God. he would accept the responsibility. His selection met with the universal approval of the people of the state and his ad- mtoistration is proving a wonderful success. ^ Hoke County people are indeed fortunate in having the opportunity of hearing this man, and better still, of shaking his hand in a warm per sonal touch that characterizes him. He is one of the best loved men, among those who know him, that North Carolina ever produced. RAEFORD FIN PIE- lilLNANNERED BUG DICrOR OF SHIES' IS IDFRTIFIED J. L. Wilson Makes Closest Guesses Yet Recorded in Fayetteville Ob server’s Weekly Contest;. Many Take Part. Turning In the closest set of pre dictions or the season J. L. Wilson, of Raeford, this week-edd won the Fayetteville Observer’s football score guessing contest, missing the actual scores of the six games by a total of only 41 points. W. L. Walters of Raeford was second with 55, and H. C. Reaves of Raeford was third with 67. By strange coincidence, Wilson, Walters and Reaves all senti their scores in on the same sheet of pa-., per. These Raeford fans must sit up'nights doping out football scores. Contestants as a rule guessed a lot closer this week than last as most of the games were expected to be close and most of them were close. The winning prediction follows: Carolina 20; Georgia Teck 7. Presbyterian 7; N. C. State 0. Duke 13; Villa Nova 6. Darmouth 7; Yale 0. Tenne&see 21; Clemsou 0. Alabama 19; Kentucky 7. Largely on account of the Caro- lina-Georgia Tech and "Yale-Dart- mouth ties perhaps, no predictors guessed the correct outcomes of all six games. Fourteen predicted cor rectly the outcome of the non-tie games. Two predicted a Carolina- Georgia Tech tie and five predicted a Yale Dartmouth tie.

D, BURTON, Co Agent. Notice has come to this office from the State Department of Agriculture stating that Mr. T. T. Brown, of the Vetreinary Division, and Mr. P. A. Seese, State Extension Poultryman, will be here the week of November 10th for the purpose of bloodtesting the poultry flocks of. Hoke County for Bacillary White Diarrhea. BacillaiT- White Diarrhea is one of the most dreaded disease of the poultry world today.And rightly so, under the conditions that .exist on a number of poultry farms. Be cause the mortality rate among ba by chicks is so extremely high, quite often reaching as high as 90 per cent. Yet this disease can be very effectively controlled through the blood testing of the breeding stock and the practice of strict ^am itary measures. The .poultrymen cannot hope to obtain the maximum benefit from either of these pre- ventitive measures unless they are used together. There are two ways In which this disease is transmitted from" one bird to another: '(1) through the egg. These organisms are primarily located in the qvarips of the hen and when the eg^js laid these germs are present in the yolk. Any temperature that is correct for the development of the bafcy chick with in the egg is also correct for devel opment of disease germs, thus giv ing us an infected baby bhlck at the time of hatching. This is one rea son why.we are sometimes bothered with the chicks dying in the shell. This mode of transmition may be controlled 'Sirough the bloodtesting of alll the, reactors for meat pur- of all the reactors or fmeat pur poses only. (2) -Through the droppings. At certain stages during the life cycle of the baby chick this disease is in a septicqmic condition (free in the blood stream) and at thfa time the germs are passed from the body in the- droppings. Thus the baby chicks pick up the .disease if al lowed to eat their food from a floor that is contaminated with these drospings. . , This mode of transmition can be TWY greatljA redifbqd If the poeltZY- nuen . wm covor the breo4er hoese floor with 1-t inoh ae^ hardwood doth tadcRMl oa traadi abeat tbiae > (..CwitiaMd iMa ms» 1)^ Extension Entomologist at State* College and Entomologist of the- Washington Bureau Furnishes Ill- formation to County Agent Burtort The ill mannered bug that made* his appearance here a few -weeks' ago, at last has been identified. County Agent Burton took the nnat' ter up with state officials. In x let ter on the subject to Mr. Buitoo.. C. H. Brannon, Extension Entom^ ologist at State College, has the fol lowing to say: “Referring further to your letter of October 17th in regard to the stink beetles, I am enclosing copy oC a letter which is self explanatory.. As you see; this Insect is very rare in these parts and , from a surver of the literature, it seems to occur- very rarely in the the north. I am endeavoring to obtain more detailed information about the pest and would appreciate any additional speci mens that you could send or in formation as to whether the insecU are still to be found in your section. “Quoting ifrom an article in regard to this pest from Fletcher dated . 1899; “Fortunately, in most places., this is an extremely rare insect but on two of three -occasions it has appeared in small numbers about dwelling- houses and has been an intolerable infiictlon tb the inhab itants who -svere actually driven awa’y until the plague ceased. The- beetle, when crused or excited as by being caught in a spider’s '.vebh- can and doe^ give out a most far reaching aqd repulsive odor which.' is of a very lasting nature. Articles which have been in contact with the beetle retain a characteristic odor for several weeks.” In writing Mj-. Brannon, the Wash ington Bureau of Eentomology says in part: “Y'our two letters of October 17 and October iO, and the specimens mentioned in each have been receivi- ed. Both lots of material have been identified by Mr. L. L. Buchanan of the Bureau staff as the carabid hae:- •> tie, Nomius pygmaeus iDej.). Mr.- Buchanan makes the following cem- ment: ‘This species, sometimes call ed the "malodorous carabid,.’ invades, houses in considerable numbers at time. Nearly all our specimecs are from the northern United Stales.* “The specimens which you sent in are of particular interest ta 'asc because of the localities involved,, since most of our record .s are for spev.imens obtained further north in- the country. If you obt'ain addi tional specimens of the insect and can conveniently forward them for the coUection, we shall be pleaseL to have them. Very truly youis, HAROLD MORRISON, In charge of Taxonomic InvestigSs- tions.” Mr. Burton has a formula- fort the" eradication of this pest which he will, be glad to furnish anyone desirins. it. Co. Conuni^oners- Met Last Monday The Board of County Coramlsion-' ers met Monday in regular monthly' session and attended to 'only rou tine matters. One of their worst' problems, nowadays, is the appeal- made by the wives of convicts for aid and it is getting to be a very serious question. The attitude of the commissioners seems to be that the families and relatives of the unfortunate ones will have to come* to their assistance, since if the pre cedent were established of Pairing- care of the family of everyone sent to the roads it would amount to a tremendous item. This was the last meeting of the old board of... commissioners, since- the new board will be sworn in on the first Monday in December. Only one member of this board. Chairman John McDiarmid, will be on the ' new board. i DEATH OF LITTLE JAMES CARVER, JR., TUESDAY James Carver, Jr., aged two months and 27 days.
