A. C. L SURGEONS
MEET AT TAMPA.
Dr. and Mrs. Brown, ot Ash
pole Among Tbose
Who Attend.
Specii'' .. of The Bobesonian:
As., le, Sunday March IS. -Off
and away via. Atlantic Coast
Line for Tampa, Florida, to
attend the A., C. L. Surgeons'
Meeting. First a disappointment'
as Mr. and Mrs. White, of Lum
berton, who were to be with us,
were not to be found aboard.
Doctors and doctors' wives in
plenty and everybody in a good
humor.
We slept in a box on the shelf
last night, but are right side up
and hungry bright and early.
Way cross, the well known, the
lirst place we view.
Of Jacksonville nothing was
seen but distant views. We hope
to take it all in later.
Dr. Law has recently given
such entertaining descriptions of
Florida, we can not undertake to
lo so. There is one thing which
must be said of Florida though.
She is strictly on the level. Mile
after mile of hammock land cov
ered with scrub palmetto passes
before our eyes, but occasionally
come glimpses of the royal St.
John and lovely blue lakes smil-
ing in Southern sunshine, which
repay for all. The dust and heat
are but incidentals, by the way.
Three Pullman cars full of
doctors and wives and daughters,
.and it is really remarkable what
an extremely fine looking, intelli
gent crowd we are (with excep
tions'.) The Doctors talk "shop"' in the
intervals of admiring looks from
the windows, while the wives
silently admire their wise part
ners, or gather in clans to dTs
cuss numerous affairs. Dress
seems scarcely interesting ixt
haps, because most of us have a
few more gray hairs than we
redly desire.
The train is, as usual, badly
behind, and the day passes by.
We view many pretty towns.
Kissiuiee City being to our oyos
the prettiest. The lake, wit Ii ih,
sunset shining on it. Iving a
glimpse of Paradise.
The perfume of the tn-m.j-c
blossoms creeps through the v',n-
.dows and looking out we see
bushels of the golden balls on
the trees and ground, making us
all hungry to try them.
It is 10:30 p. in. by our time,
0:30 by Southern time. We reach
the hotel, brilliantly lighted, with
- freavenly music, pretty girls
dressed in white.; What more
can man want? Some of the
Doctors begin to wish they had

left their wives at home! A de
liriously comfortable nights rest
and we are ready for the meeting
which opens at 10 a. m., with
handsome Southgate Leigh, M.
D., of Norfolk, Va., in the chair.
Dr. G. G. Thomas, of Wilming
ton, being the head and moving
spirit of this association it can
but be a success.
The address of welcome by W.
U. Fuller, president of Tampa
Board of Trade, and the- presi
dent's address are much enjoyed
by all and especially the ladies
who have gathered in to hear. In
fact the ladies are mucli in evi
dence. We were presented with
pretty badges and are invited to
join the trolley ride this after
noon and the Bay excursion to
morrow. The Robeson county contin
gent are enjoying it all. They are
Doctors Frank and Luther Mc
Millan, of Red Springs, and J. P.
Brown, of Ashpole, and Doctors
Hall, of Boardman, and Withers,
of Chadbourn, representing Co
lumbus, all their wives being
present.
Tampa Bay Hotel we cannot
undertake to describe this, the
finest hotel we ever saw. Every
thing a guest may need, or thinks
he needs, seems provided for,
and the grounds are superb.
Plants, herbs and flowers from
all over tne world are growing
with neighborly friendliness by
the side of towering palmettos
which look centuries old. Nas
turtiums, flox, roses and other
summer flowers are in full bloom.
And now one last thing to tell
you. Amid all this grandeur we
don't feel near as green as we
expected, which goes to show
that Robeson folks have plenty
of "grit and gumption," and are
not to be overpowered by the
splendors of the mighty rich.
Wednesday, March "21. A
beautiful morning,and we've been
out walking and selecting a few
souvenirs. The meetings are
proving very interesting and
helpful to the doctors. I wish
we were wise enough to write
them up for you. The discuss
ions are open and free and all
seem pleased. Dr. Estes, a noted
surgeon of Bethlehem, Penn.,
give a splendid address on cra
nial fractures. Dr. Taylor, of
New York, is also a visitor. Dr.

villions where their pleasures
are spent. The girl from Wil
mincrton almost decided she
would take a Cuban baby home
with her as a .souvenir, but con
cluded he would be a rather lively
one. They are pretty little yellow
things with such beautiful black
eyes.
I always thought a little darkey
lying in the sunshine a perfect
picture of content until I saw the
little alligators in the pool of the
fountain here at Tampa Bay
Hotel. Did you ever hear the
expression, "Wouldn't give a
darn?" Well,
I'm not at all in
the habit of "cussin," but ac
tually that is what came into my
mind as I saw them stretched
out in the warm, sunny water. I
had a little boy poke one of the
little rascals with a stick, and he
stalked off into deeper water with
the most disgusted expression
on his face? that was ever seen.
We are having some of the
finest music I ever heard. The
orchestra of seven pieces is worth
the trip to hear. Tomorrow night
Nordica.the world famous singer,
will appear here. The opera
house is connected with the hotel.
I would give much to hear her,
but that Doctor of mine would
rather hear me, so we'll not stay
for it.
There is to be a river excur
sion tomorrow to see the Mana
tee river orange plantations, con
sidered the finest in Florida.
Many will stay for hV, but we
leave tonight for Jacksonville and
hope to visit St. Augustine the
next day.
It is late afternoon a I com
plete this. The Surgeons' meet
ing is about ready to adjourn.
The election of officers makes
president fer next year Dr. Bul
lock, of Wilmington, well known
and greatly beloved by Robe
sonians. The l'oll complete makes more
than one hundred and twenty
five doctors present, most , of
them accompanied by ladies, yet
we are not crowded. This house
contains about four hundred and
fifty rooms, and really if 1 had
money to burn" I should select
this as a very good place to burn
it. There are a great many at
tractions, besides the alligator.
Mesdames McMillan, of lied
Springs pass-mo often in the cor
ridor with sniiks as wide asinine
and 'arms full of bundles. They j
are evident ly taking it al! in and
getting a great, deal of enjoyment
-at of the process.
Florida is line but Rolvson is
better, for a steady stay, so we
shall not be sorry to return.

Farms Awaltlna the Farmer.
All over the oountry there are
farms crying for tilling, and there
are1 few responses. Ine lure of
tbe city has absorbed thousands
of the best young people of the
agricultural district. If no plan
is found for keeping young men
and woman on the farms, then a
large scheme of emptying the cities
of their poor and helpless should
be evolved. It is one of the in
comprehensible phases of the situ
ation that, no matter how poor
and suffering the average family
of the city slums may be, it pre
fers to Buffer the miseries of the
tenements rather than go out into
the country where healthful em
ployment awaits all, and where
the pure air wiil revive debilitated
bodies and tbe sunshine win back
the feeble tides of life. Kansas

Most men would rather have a
measly political job and starve to
