By F..GROVEB MUTT.
Iurribesrtcm, April 25. While there
has been no doubt as to the loyalty of
the Robeson division of the Farmers'
Union, the body met in called session
here yesterday and passed resolutions
endorsing- the administration and ad
vocating: tJhat any disloyal official or
mAmtwr of tita -organization be "turned
out." .
The meeting: -was called for the pur
pose of taking: some action in regard
tft th a remorted utterances of Dr. H.
Q. Alexander, state president of - the or
ganization. The "state council" was
represented at the meeting by R. W.
H. Stone of Greensboro. Union off!
cials had received from Dr. Alexander
a letter in which he declared that he
was innocent of any unpatriotic action
or words. Quite a number of union
men attended the" meeting and all. de
clared themselves behind the presi
dent and administration in the prose
cution of the war to a victorious finish.
The following resolutions were pass
ed unanimously by . the union: v
"Resolved, First, that we endorse
the present national administration of
our government. -
"Second, HThat .we urge our members
to buy all trie 'Liberty " bonds within.'
their means , aad also the purchase of
all the war savings and thrift stamps
possible; ; economical administration
along all lines aad the conservation of
all foodstuffs.
"Third, That we grow all the food
stuffs possible. "
"Fourth, That weresolve to conform
to all requirements of our government
until ,we have achieved the victory.
"Fifth, That we recommend the ex
pelling of any official or union member
who is not in thorough accord with
our present administration. - .
"Sixth, That we commend the state
union's action in Juyihg $10,000 worth
of the third Liberiy loan issue, which
is the largest purchase of any fra
ternal organization in the state, con
sidering the amount of dues collected
from members."
The following resolutions, were pass
ed with reference to the analysis of
fertilizers:
"Whereas, the state chemist of
North Carolina now analyzes all the
fertilizers and fertilizer materials
used by the "farmers and directs all
crop experiments looking to the se
- lection of the proper kind and amounts
of fertilizer to be ueed for the differ
ent soils and crops of this state and
' has full charge as director of all em;
onstrations, .extensions and- other
propaganda work whereby the adult
farmer is instructed in all matters con
cerning the use-of commercial ferti
lizers; therefore, -be it resolved: -
"That it is the sense o fthe Pam-
ers Union of Robeson county that it
is unwise to place so much power and
responsibility in the hands of any one
man and that the state board of agri
culture and board of control of the A.
and E. college are. hereby petitioned to
relieve the state chemist of his present
superabundance of. duties and respon
sibilities and limit his efforts and ac
tivities to the analytical chemical work
of the state and put upon him no other
duties whatsoever.
. "That this county union further pe
tition said boards to place all experi
mental work -in fertilizer and crop
production in the hands of a competent
man especially qualified for this work,
having a thorough knowledge of the
soils of the state and practical famil
iarity with the fertilizer and other re
quirements of crop production, and to
put on this man the additional re
sponsibility of directing ail demonstra
tion and extension work with a view of
placing before the farmers any re
sults of practical value obtained from
his work of fertilizing and crop inves
tigation. ..
"That a copy of this be sent to each
member of the above named boards,
the commissioner of agriculture, the
governor and the state press."- !
Many friends of Mrs. Robert Belch
will be glad to learn that she is get
ting along nicely after having under
gone a very serious operation in the
Thompson hospital here several weeks
ago.
Suffering; From Blood Poison.
Wallace, April 25. Friends will re
gret to learn that Mrs. J. A. Cave
naugh is critically ill from blood pois
on, caused from picking a pimple - on
her lip, which became infected. Dr.
B. R. Graham, of Wilmington, was
called into consultation by the family
physician.
The use of gas in warfare by Ger
many is a "new wrinkle, : but gas as a
means "of . producing death has been
known for ages. Some people, when
they think that the world it not treat
ing them right, ; attach . themselves to
one end-of "a '-'piece of hose and let" a
few thousand cubic feet of gass pass
into their system. Others permit thenar
selves to become individual gas ger
minating plants and produce a gas In
their own bodies which is deadly In
effect, if not corrected. N. M. Phillips,
812 West, Lee Su, Greensboro, knows
what it means to be a human gas gen
erator and this is the way he describes
it: -
"I have been a victim of indigestion
for the last four or. five years,, which
caused my stomach ' to be heavily
charged with gas nearly all of the
time. This condition frequently caus
ed me to belch so loud that it greatly
embarrassed me. , AH the food , that I
ate soon turned, to gas. I could- not
eat meat-and, eggs "made me sick. I
seldom .obtained a good night's sleep
and' was-highly nervous at all times.
I noticed ' an advertisement of Peplao
and am very . glad ' that I decided to
given it a trial, for it has made a new
man of-me or, ;ratherr-it has made me
feel- like- a" boy again.- 5Jow i-I-'ean eat
anything that I like,' without distress
or the formation of gas. I also sleep
well at night and the old feeling of
nervousness has left me. I am very
sorry that JT didy not learn of Peplac
long' ago, and I advise anyone who is
in the condition that I was to give it
a trial."
The formation of gas in the stomach
Is the result of decomposition, which
naturally results when food is not
properly digested. . Peplac is a depend
able remedy for disorders of the stom
ach and. puts, it 4n condition to perform
its functions! ' :
Peplac is sold in Wilmington at'R. R.
Bellamy's drug store and by all enter
prising druggists in Wilmington and

BUILD MILITARY HIGHWAY
Road From Charlotte to Wilmington
Could Be Constructed by Govern
ment for $4MM)00.
(Charlotte Observer.)
The existence of a great training
and concentration t camp, at . Charlotte
school children are engaged prevented
a large entry fn this contest, but it is
very gratifying to know that the
children ;of t, our., schools are, - in ' many
cases, learning something ' of "the eco:
nomic value of our trees and forests.
This contest was inaugurated fast
year by the North Carolina Forestry
association for the purpose of interest
ing school children in the subject of
forestry. The topic of last year's con
test was, "Forest Fires in? North Caro
lina," and the winners of this contest
were pupils in the Charlotte high
school and ' the TiT! Mtrh aynnt
and of a vast, shipbuilding Industry, at Ederecombe count v.- Aonriin9 t tv,
Wilmington brings "J forth - forcible pre
sentation of the opportunity for the
establishment t between these two
points of a military highway. Condi
tions are such as to court instant and
favorable attention by government au
thorities. It will be remembered that
in the early days of the war Colonel
Bryan inaugurated a military highway
propaganda, his idea being the con
struction of an east and west road to
link up Atlantic and Pacific traffic The
Observer has repeatedly advocated a
system of military roads connecting
the camps in the south, and we believe
this policy has had the sanction of the
government. The two great enter
prises located by the government at
Charlotte and Wilmington not only in
vite the construction of a military
highway between these two points-
it will - make the building of such a
road an actual necessity. The mili
tary camp and the shipyard will create
centers for the concentration and dis
patch of vast quantities of military
and commissary supplies and construc
tion material. Present facilities by
rail will be swamped. Normally con
gested since the war began, conditions
on the single, rail line the Seaboard-
would become .- intolerable. . Too much
time would be sacrificed in tho nio'vlng
of government supplies by the railroad
and commercial traffic would be press
ed to the wall. The solution of the
problem would be in the concreting of
the highway between the two cities.
From the standpoint of, the roadbuild-
er tne proposition is an exceeamgiy
attractive one. There would Jbe a
minimum of grading. From Hamlet to
Wilmington there would be none at
alL The concreted road, paralleling
the Seaboard tracks the entire dis
tance, would convert the highway into
a co-operative transportation line.
The distance between Charlotte and
Wilmington is 189 miles. The govern
ment estimate for concrete road con
struction is $24,000 a mile. It Is prob
able that the . highway between these
two cities could be put into commis
sion for 54,500,000. That may sound
big, but it must be remembered that
the state would then be equipped with
. . - AAA
a concrete line oi roaa neariy
miles in extent which would represent
a permanent investment. The govern
ment is paying f 48,000 to move e regi
ment from camp to port. It is costing
about ?450,000 to move a division. So
that the transportation of ten divi
sions would leave the road paid for.
The government would have moved its
troops to the" relief of railroad conges
tion and at the same time would have
left Its money permanently invested to
the good of. the state. Motor truck
transportation Is being developed on
a large scale. This concrete road be
tween Charlotte and Wilmington
would open up to the commercial and
industrial interests of coastal and
piedmont North- Carolina one of the
busiest and most prosperous motor
trucking . arteries of . traffic . In the
country, one whose usefulness as a
commercial factor would come , into
even greater appreciation after the
war than during its progress, great as
would be Its importance in v. serving
the transportation . needs of ' Camp
Greene at Charlotte and the shipyards
at Wilmington in the moving of troops
and material. The volume of traffic
Immediately awaiting- the building of
this ' Charlotte-Wilmington military
highway is of such a character as to
justify its construction as the pioneer
of the kinds in the governmental camp
area and In time all the camps could
be connected up with a system of per
manent highways. The value of roads
of this kind as a commercial asset
may be very easily appreciated ,and
the recognition of the government of
the necessity for . military highways
of the kind is an encouragement.
The Observer learns that the : Char
lotte chamber of commerce, as a busi
ness organization, will take up the
matter with the war department, and
we feel sure that if the proposition Is
placed before the authorities In the
proper way It will secure serious at
tention. The proposition is , of ; so
promising a sort that action Is likely
to follow Investigation. . : I
rules of the contest the judges are se
lected one by the forestry association,
one by the women's clubs, and one by
the state department of education.
In selecting the topic, "Trees A War
Crop",- it was intended to emphasize
the fact that trees are a crop like any
other farm crop. This idea, however,
was largely lost sight of by the con
testants. ' It is , not until the general
public realizes that' timber -has to be
grown, and that the growing trees are
subject tto the same laws and condl
tlons a V other crops, 'that, we will be
come Impressed with the necessity for
better forest management.
Need of Influence. .
- "Every one of us needs influence and
some Impulse" outside of ourselves to
compel us to strive for our ideals. The
nest impulse that can uplift the life
is the friendship of esus. He says:
Ye are as friends if ye do whatsoever
I command you.' "
