art entertained at their home on
the corner of Fifth and Pine
streets Thursday evening from
8:30 to 11:30 o'clock in honor of
their guest Miss Carrie May
von Glahn, of Wilmington.
The games of the evening
were simple and interesting in
every feature and furnished
much amusement for the large
crowd whose joy it was to parti
cipate. The first thing that put
everybody to thinking was a
game in which each one was re
quested to relate some little inci
dent that happened during his or
her summer vacation. The stories
told were all interesting and
many ot them were very amus
ing. Miss Mary G. McNeill
won the prize for telling the
most interesting story. The next
game, one that created much
aughter, was a pig drawing con
test. A table, with tablet and
pencil, was placed in the middle
of the hall and then one at a
time all were blindfolded and
given a chance to display some
pig-drawing talent. The pigs
drawn were of many shapes and
sizes, and some were straight
eared and some flop-eared. Mr.
Jr. btansel, who labored hard
to picture his conception of an
ideal flop-eared pig, got the boo
by, which was a straight-eared
glass pig. Mr. W. K. Bethune
won the prize for drawing the
most perfect pig.
Ketreshments consisting of
punch, ice cream and cake were
served.

A Medicine That Appeals to
Physicians They Recognize
Its Value Dr. J. E. Ennis of
Atlanta, Ga., Tells the Truth
About Vinol.
"I want people to know that
I believe the most valuable cod
liver oil preparation, the bes
body - builder, health - restorer
and strength-creator known
medicine today is Vinol.
"I advise Vinol in my practice
and find it has no equal for heal
ing coughs, colds, bronchial
troubles and sore lungs.
"I have used Vinol in many
cases of indigestion, mal-assimi-lation,
and for patients who have
no appetite, were anaemic and
run down, with splendid results.
I have also found Vinol to be a
boon to the aged.
"I believe Vinol to be well
worthy of any honest physician's
endorsement. J. h.. bnnis, M.
D.
For old people, delicate chil
dren, weak, run-down persons,
after sickness, and for chronic
coughs, colds, bronchitis, and all
throat and lung troubles Vinol is
unexcelled. Those who try Vinol
and receive no benefit may have
their money back. Dr. J. D. Mc

At the Opera House Victor's
Royal Venetian Band Thurs
day Evening.
The Dixie Amusement Co. play
ed to good houses at the opera
house Thursday and Friday even
ings. The crowd Saturday even
ing was not so large. And the
crowds were delighted, on the
whole. Mr. Jno. A. Poythress,
under whose management the
company was, has brought shows
to Lumberton several times be
fore and he always shows to good
houses and makes good. This
time he had added to his moving
picture Bhow two singing and
dancing kids that are all right and
a lightning sketch artist who is
ditto. Percival and Shields, the
kids, delighted the audience with
their singing and dancing stunts,
and the way Mr. Jas. Pathe would
paint a picture right before the
eyes of the audience in less than
no time was a caution. Those
who got the lucky numbers were
given one of the pictures, so
several of them were left in town.
Mr. Poythress says that it is
his purpose to visit Lumberton
every two or three weeks with a
good show and he will doubtless
be given a good audience when
ever he comes.
The next attraction at the
opera house will be Victor's Royal
Venetian Band. This is booked
or Thursday evening and it will
doubtless be one of the best at
tractions that will appear in Lum.
berton this season. Several Lum.
berton people have heard this
band elsewhere and they say it is
excellent and that a treat is in
store for all who attend the con
cert Thursday evening. The band
consists of twenty-two perfor

members of the band are said to
be excellent soloists on their
respective instrumentsand a nun
ber of compositions will be pro
grammed to enablethemtodemon
strate their ability as solo artists, i
They have a repertoire of 450
popular and classical selections
from which to select programmes
to suit any audience. Reserved
seats for this attraction were
placed on sale this morning at
McMillan's Drugstore. The price
will be: reserved seats, $1.00,
general admission, 75 cents, gal-
ery, 50 cents.
Thenew opera chairs have been
placed in the opera house, the
other improvements recently
mentioned in The Robesonian
have been completed, and it is
now possible to seat an audience
conveniently and comfortably.
Messrs. French and McAllister
have gone to considerable expense
to make the opera house safe and
comfortable and it is to be hoped
that they will be given liberal
patronage. They have booked
some good attractions for the fall
and spring. The shows last
week were all right, for the
price and they were well patron
ized, and if good attractions
are secured the patronage will
be given.

REGISTRA-
The Mclver Memorial Fund.
Miss Etta Spier, of Goldsboro,
field secretary of the Alumnae
Association of the State Normal
and Industrial College at Greens
boro, spent Tuesday in Lumber-
ton in the interest of the Mclver
Memorial Fund. The object of
the Alumnae Association is to let
the memorial to Dr. Mclver take
the form which it is felt would
be most acceptable to him, that
is, a fund that will enable girls
who have not the means of pro
curing an education otherwise to
borrow money on their personal
notes, interest on these notes to
begin only after they shall have
begun teaching. An effort is
being made to get each county
to raise a fund for the education
of its own girls. More girls ap
ply to the college every year for
the positions which enable them
to work their way than there are
positions to be filled. Miss Spier
has already organized several
county associations and the object
of her visit here was to organize
the alumnae of Robeson. She ad
dressed a few who were interest
ed in the work in the auditorium
of the graded school building
Tuesday evening, but owing to
the fact that her coming had not
been well advertised not many
were present and no effort was
made to organize an association.
She went Wednesday to Maxton

Things Every Voter Should Know
About Qualifying for Voting
Book Open Until the 24th
Inst.
Chairman Geo. B. McLeod calls
attention to the following facts
about registration, facts every
voter should know.
1. No new registration is
required. All persons who were
registered in the last election can
vote now without registering
again. However, minors becom
ing of age must register, and
persons who have moved their
residence must register if they
moved from the precinct in which
they were registered more than
four months before the election,
otherwise they vote in the pre
cinct in which they are register
ed.
2. No person liable for poll
tax can vote in this election un
less he has paid his poll tax by
May 1st of this year, and he must
exhibit his receipts or take the
oath required of him before vot
ing. 3. The residence of a married
man is where his family lesides;
of a single man, where he sleepe .
4. A voter must be able to
read and write any section of the
constitution in the English lan
guage to the satisfaction of the
registrar A lineal descendant of
any person who could vote on
January 1, 1867, or prior thereto,
can register, even though he can
not read and write. He must,
however, register underthegrand
father clause. This is the last
election in which those who can
not read and write can register
under the grandfather clause, as
the constitution of this State
limits the time to December 1,
1908.
5. The clerk of the Superior
Court has in his keeping the
permanent roll of all persons who
have registered under the grand
father clause, and it is highly
important that every man in the
county who cannot read and write
ascertain if his name appears upon
the permanent roll in the clerk's
office. It is also very important
that the voter under the grand
father clause obtain a certificate
of permanent registration. This
is given by the registrar and it
ought to be certified to by the
clerk of the Superior Court.
6. lheregistration booksopen-
ed October 1st, and will close at
sunset on October 24th. No regis
tration will be allowed on the
day of election unless a person
shall become twenty-one years
old after the closing of the regis
tration books.
7. Registrars will keep the
registration books open at the
voting place at the several pre
cincts on each Saturday during
this period until the evening of
October 24.
8. On any other day except
Saturday all persons desiring to
register' must go to the registrar
at his home or his place of busi
ness. On Saturday, as before
stated, he will be at the voting
precincts from nine o'clock in the
morning until sunset.

War Clouds in the East Imme
diate Conflict Feared.
London Dispatch, 4th,
Events which threaten to
change the political face of Europe
are crystallizing witn ngntning
rapidity. Almost over night the
horizon of the Near East, which
seemed gradually to be assuming
a peaceful appearance, has be
come crowded with war clouds.
News has reached here from
several sources that two definite
strokes are impending which can
not fail to bring matters to a
crisis, and perhaps force an im
mediate war. One is the procla
mation by Prince Ferdinand, of
the independence of Bulgaria,
which will include Rumelia, tak
ing for himself the title of
CJzar. The other is an an
nouncement of Austna-Hugary
of the practical annexation of
the provinces of Bosnia and
Herzegovnia as appendages of
the Austro-Hungarian crown.
Either action will be equiva'
lent to the leasing up of the
treaty of Berlin, while Prince
Ferdinand's course seems almost
certain to precipitate a war be
the next tween Bulgariaand Turkey. Be-
15 years' experience.
