School Progressing Finely Under
a Good Principal and Teach
ersCigarettes and Cigarette
Smokers.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
We have as fine a school at
Orrum as I ever patronized. If
it was known at large what a
school we have here I have no
idea but what the teachers would
have to be increased from six to
8 or 10 in the near future. The
school is progressing finely under
the principalship of Prof. J. A.
Williams, assisted by his wife
and Misses Dora Cox, Emma
Kelly and Bonnie Howard. Rev.
J. J. Scott has charge of the
Bible class. All these teachers
are ably equipped. They are all,
or nearly all, graduates of the
leading colleges of the State.
Rev. J. J. Scott is one among the
ablest Bible scholars in our ban
ner old county. Brother Scott
gives three lessons a week which
we think of great importance.
j.ne seea ne is sowing nere may
grow to a bountiful harvest.
rof. J. A. Williams is a graduate
of Wake Forest College and is
one of Robeson's best teachers.
He is wide awake in the school
work and is putting forth every
effort available to build ud a
strong and influential school
here. All the teachers are most
excellent. The school is doing
well and the attendance is good
and the work is first class in ev
ery respect.
This is one of the cheaoest
schools I know. House rent is
cheap, from four to eight dollars
per month. The rent here is
about one dollar a room per month.
Move here and it will cost vou
30 cents on the one hundred dol
lars worth of property you list.
If you list $1,000 worth of prop
erty it will cost you $31 per
year to send all the children you
nave, so you see it is cheap in
money but not in quality. Good
health, location, good railroad
facilities, six trains per day.
Good, honest, sociable and hos
pitable people. Good church,
Sunday school, prayer meeting
every Sunday evening. A fine
farming section. Fine tobacco
section; many of the farmers
raise from $100 to $200 per acre
on tobacco. Considerable mer
cantile business is done here.
Prices are reasonable.
We had one of the ablest ser
mons Sunday on the training of
children by the pastor, Rev. LP.
Hedgpeth, I ever heard. He
brought out some of the best Bi
ble points in regard to the train
ing ot children from God I ever
listened to. I do honestly wish
every community in the banner
old county could have just such a
sermon and would heed it He
compared the cigarette smoker
to a green apple with a worm in
it: said the apple never matur
ed and the cigarette smoker nev
er matured.
Parents of the dear old county
of Robeson, I want to admonish
you of the evil effectsof the worth
less cigarette habit. It saps the
growth ot both mind and body.
If leads the boys step by step the
downward road to eternal de
struction' The day is close at
hand when the cigarette smoker
will have to take the back tract
and the lowest positions in life.
Our most refined young ladies are
very indifferent about the com
pany of cigarette smokers. A
certain young man called on one
of our most refined young ladies
recently. She remarked to him
that she did not like a cigarette
smoker. He turned red in the
face and she suspected he was
guilty of the evil habit and asked
him directly if he smoked them
After a pause he told her once in
a while. She told him she did
not have any respect tor a ciga
rette smoker. His lace grew
redder and his hat was soon
found and he was making rapid
strides down the road. We lm
aginehesaid "Farewell, ye-well
bright eyes."
1 want to congratulate our
young ladies for holding them
selves above young men who are
guilty of such habits.

mission at tne present timo i
the Brittish ship Dreadnought
of 17,900 tons displacement. No
toreign country has so large a
battleship as the Delaware, nor
is any country except the United
States engaged in building one
so large. Great Britain is con
structing at this time seven
great battleships, ramrini? in
tonnage from 18,000 to 19.250
Germany's largest battleship is
13,200 tons, and she is building
nine, hve ot which are of 19,ooo
tons displacement. The heaviest
French ship in commission is
14.865 tons, with eight building,
the largest being of 18,320 tons.
Japan's largest battleship is 1(,
400 tons. She is building one of
19,200 and one of 11),8M) tons.
The United States is building
six battleships, four of which
are heavier than any vessels
afloat or building in any other
navy. The Florida and the
Utah, the heaviest of these
ships, will each be of 21,825 tons
displacement. The naval bill to
be passed at the present session
will, it seems assured, authorize
the construction of two battle
ships of 26,000 tons each, and
perhaps with guns enormously
more powerful than those on any
other ship in the world. Where
this contest in the building of
big ships is to end no one can
tell. The building of such ships
is a challenge to alL the powers.
In his statement before the Sen
ate committee recently Secretary
Newberry declared his belief in
the 26,000-ton battleship. But in
this opinion Captain Mahan, a
great naval authority, does not
agree with him. "The line of
reasoning " Captain Mahan said,
which applies to the 13,000 or
20,000 ton ship will hold good
when you have reached 30,000
and your neighbor 'goes one bet
ter by laying down one of 32,
000. No matter how big your
ship may be, a bigger can be
built. The skill of the naval ar
chitect and engineer is equal to
producing it, and the open sea
at least will be able to fioat it."
But it comes down to a question
of money. These big ships are
enormously expensive, and every
country cannot aliord to build a
fleet of such sea monsters. It is
believed that when the Delaware
shall be put in commission and
manned by the kind of officers
and men who have from the le
ginning won fame and glory for
the American Navy, there will
be no vessel on the high seas
which will be able to withstand
her broadside. This broadside
will consist of ten 12-inch guns,
and fourteen 5-inch rapid-fire
guns, besides her secondary bat
tery. The Dreadnought carries
the same number of big turrets,
but the turrets are so arranged
that all the guns cannot be used
in the broadside, as those on the
Delaware can be.
