Shingles are expensive, but they are actually cheaper during ten years than a ready roofing which needs frequent painting to keep it free from leaks. Amartite roofing costs less than half as much as shingles and does not need painting either, ft is easier to lay and will give years of long hard service without any care. Amatite has a real mineral sur face. That's why it needs no painting. Once laid on your roof Better Than Shingles your building has real protection. Amatite is easier to lay than ever this year. The liquid cement for the laps does not require heating before use. A three-inch smooth margin is left at the edge of the sheet so that the laps will be tight fitting and easily cemented.

NORMENT, Let Us Do Your -Job Printing Meeting "Aunt Becky" A Crys tal Wedding An Old-Time Darkey Personal Mention. Correspondence of The Robeaonian. Since writing my last letter we have, through the pleasure of a dear friend, been allowed or af forded the happy privilege of seeing "Aunt Becky" while she sojourned in these parts on her recent trip Down South," hav ing been invited to spend a day with her daughter, Mrs. McLaur- in, on Buck Swamp; and we were only too glad to have such kind courtesy extended. We found the pleasing old friend just a lit tie indisposed, but able to talk vigorously on all topics introduc ed, more especially the one relat ing to the "Lost Cause;" and then the company of her children and little grandchildren gave her no little pleasure, as well as the trip down, with its relays, which she described so minutely in her last letter to your valuable paper, We hope we will have her a guest at our home when she repeats tlitse pleasant visits to her many kindred and friends; and to be sure we will feel grieved if she does not stop long enogh with us to break bread and rest the while in Dillon, the " county seat of the proposed new county of Fee Dee. She will always find the latch string on the outside. The following announcement is out, and has been received at the office of the undersigned: 1894 1909 Mr. and Mrs. William Stinceon Ivey At Home Monday evening May the 10th from half after eight until eleven o'clock Dillon, S. (J. Mary LeGett William S. Ivey. We were a little indisposed for the recent past, so in order to meet the demands incident to the faithful performance of such a pleasing duty we on yesterday afternoon prescribed our own medicine, and think we will be fully able to answer at roll call. These good friends and we are glad to number them among those that go for all this means are natives of your "Tar Heel" State, having come and cast in their lot with the good folk of Dillon during its rapid rise to prominence a few years ago, They will, we have no doubt, they and their happy, bright faced children, numbering four bright girls and a boy, be pleased to receive the hearty congratula tions of their many friends on this auspicious occasion, the cel ebration of the 15th anniversary of their marriage. We are having gracious show ers of refreshing rain on our dry soil to-day, while I am penning these lines. So much good will result to vegetable life of all kinds that we fail to estimate the extent, for oats and gardens and in fact crops of all kinds will share in the benefits. There lives not far from me an old trusted servant of the by gone days, one my grandmother raised was nursed, in fact, for my dear mother. The old friend, darkey as she is, nursed me and cooked nearly all the bread and meat that I had in the slavery days, for she spent all her time in the yard, and of course made herself generally useful. She is now nearing the bright and bet ter life beyond, being above 80 years old. I give her often some little present, useful to her, such as tobacco, etc., to keep her in mind of the appreciation we have for services rendered in the long ago. So the other day we select ed a plug ot the Stars and Bars," thinking it appropriate. as it commemorates the wonder ful event in her history, to-wit, the surrender of Gen. Lee at Ap pomattox, thus rendering the proclamation of Abraham Lm coin effectual. Miss Annie Carmichael, m company with Miss violet uu vail, of Mobile, Ala., a charming guest of her sister, Mrs. L.

Further Account of the Exer cises Meeting of Camp Pope. In Thursday's Robesonian was published the Memorial Address delivered here last Monday bv Chief Justice Walter Clark, of the State Supreme Court. It is an interesting and valuable rec ord of Robeson county soldiers in the civil war and many Rob esonian readers will be glad to have it in a form in which it may be preserved. Jndge Clark was a guest while here at the home of Col. and Mrs. N. A. McLean. A partial report of Memorial Day proceedings was given in last Monday's paper and this further report was prepared for Thursday's paper but had to be held over becaurse of lack of space, it is regretted tnat a full report cannot be given of the remarks of Dr. R. M. Nor- ment, who introduced the speak er of the day. Dr. Norment's speech was an excellent one and was very much enjoyed. His remarks were based upon what the monument to Confederate dead that stands in the courthouse square tells to the thinking mind of the heroism and devotion of the noble woman of the South. His was not the task to tell of the noble deeds of his comrades in arms, but to tell of what the women have done, but he told of a Robeson county soldier who. ragged and battle-scarred, asked a good woman for a drink, and when she told him that she did not have the wherewithal to satisfy his thirst and reminded him that whiskey kills more men than bullets, he replied that that might be true, but, speak ing for himself, he would rather be full of whiskey than full of bullets. Before the speaking Crosses of Honor were presented by Commander J. A. McAllister to the following veterans: Messrs. W. H. Capps, Archie W. Davis, Neill Carter, Jas. H. McKay, Henry Spivey, O. C. Norment, J. A. Boone and J. W. Blanks. These were pinned on by Misses Winnie Rowland and Belle Hig ley and Mrs. W. P. McAllister, At tne conclusion oi tne ex ercises in the Opera House a bountiful dinner was served in the court house by the Daugh ters oi tne umiederacy, some 35 veterans, some with their wives, partaking oi the dinner and enjoying it immensely. At 4 o'clock the Daughters gathered at the court house again and went from there to the cemeteries to decorate Confederate graves. A meeting of Camp Pope was held at the court house at 10 o'clock Monday morning before the exercises of the day began. At a meeting held here on the 1st the name of the Camp was changed from Camp Hoke to Camp Pope, in honor of Capt Willis H. Pope, a brave Robe son county boy, a brother of Mrs. J. A. McAllister, of Lum berton, who lost his life during the war. This action was con firmed at the meeting Monday and 81 names Were enrolled in the new Camp, a much larger number than has been on the roster heretofore. The election or omcers ior the new uamp re sulted as follows: J. A. Mc Allister, commander and treas urer; J. S. Thompson, 1st Lieut. Com. ; T. A. McNeill, m 2d Lieut. Com. : N. J. Thompson, 3d Lieut. Com.: Gen, F. A. Bond, 4th Lieut. Com.: M. G. McKenzie, adjutant; A. S. Wishart, quarter master; Irvin Jenkins, com missary; Dr. ft. M. Norment, surgeon; Dr. J. U. McKenzie, Asst. surgeon; Rev. J. Wesley Ihompson, chaplain; A. B, Small, segeant-major; W. J. Reynolds, officer of the day; S F. Phillips, color-sereant; Zach. Clewers, color-guard; Zach. Pre- vatt, Asst. color-guard; W. G. Reynolds. A. B. Small. M. G McKenzie, finance committee;. G. McKenzie, Gen. F. A. Bond, J. S. Thompson, committee on by laws. Miss Mary McNeill, of Lum berton, was elected sponsor, Messrs. J. A. McAllister, M. G. McKenzie, Irvin Jenkins and Gen. F. A. Bond were elected delegates to the reunion at Memphis, Tenn., June 8-10, May 10 was fixed as the day for the annual meetings of the Camp. At 11 o'clock the Camp ad journed and marched in a body to the Opera House, and after the speaking and dinner the Camp assembled again in the court room at 2 o'clock p. m., at which time part of the business mentioned above was transacted A vote of thanks was given to the Daughters of the Confed eracy and citizens of Lumber ton for the manner in which the members of the Camp had been entertained, and to Judge Clark for his splendid address. The veterans were given free tickets to the Electric Theater, where stirring war-time pictures were shown. It was a great day for Rob eson county veterans and they enjoyed it, as Tiumberton people enjoyed the honor of entertain ing them. PLEASANT GROVE MENCEMENT.

Good Night Ladies School All the pupils acquitted them selves exceptionally well, which reflected great credit on them selves and their efficient and painstaking teacher. Where all did so well it would be an injus tice to particularize, yet we feel that we must mention a solo by Miss Olivia G. Russell and quartette by Misses Julia Betts and Olivia G.Russell and Messrs D. V. Walker and George H. Mc Kay, which were most highly complimented. Perfect order prevailed throughout the entire evening, which snowed that the large au dience present was made up of our best people. The instru mental music was furnished by the remaining faithful members of the Advance String Orchestra of former years Murdock Alex ander, 1st violin ; D. A. Walker, 2nd violin ;Henry McLean, guitar D. V. Walker, viohncello; Miss Rebekah Russell, pianist. The music was simply grand and re ceived encore after encore from the delighted audience, many thinking it was a band from some large city furnishing the music Miss Rebekah Russell is : graduate of the Southern Presby terian College and Conservatory of Music at Red Springs and is an accomplished, efficient and most able teacher. Ihe term just closed was one of the most sue cessful in the history of the school, which speaks volumns for her as an instructor. She has won a warm place in the hearts and minds of her pupils and pa trons and all wish and hope that she may see fit to accept the tu torship of this school next term. R. O. Beson. Maxton, N. C, R.

One is able, however, to get some idea of the trend of thought from let ters. Representative H. L. God- win, who holds a most interest ing position, was one of the bold est of the bold in taking a stand or the tariff on lumber. He was among the hrst to declare his position in no uncertain terms. Sometime ago I wrote a story to the effect that it looked as if his district would follow its rule oi turning him down at the end of the second term, and in re sponse to this I have received several dozen letters, most of which came from the villages and country precincts, saying that he was pleasing his constituents to the crossing of his t's and the dotting of his i's. In this indirect way the people of the sixth are endorsing God win's views and vote on the lum ber section of the tariff. RED SPRINGS REVIEWS.

A doctor tells The Lumbet- ton Robesonian that flies come into existence full grown, and The Robesonian very naturally turns to this organ of knowledge for information. The fly, we answer, develops from the egg very rapidly, once the process begins; the doctor s statement, therefore, can be taken with only a little allowance. It should not! be supposed, however, that the' creature thus suddenly born shares any of the fabled attri butes of the lady who sprang full-armed from Jupiter's head. Flies nuisances, disease-c a r riers, filthy vermin are quite a different proposition. Personal and News Notes From Marietta. Correspondence of The Kobesoniar..

Those farmers practice diversification and they make money. Many of them grow truck for market and some of them do an extensive and profit able trucking business. Mr. W. S. Cobb, of Lumber Bridge, is a leader among them. This year he has 150 acres planted in cantaloupes alone. Then he has 100 acres in Irish potatoes, 50 in watermelons, 35 in English peas, 10 in beans and 20 in early corn, all of which crops he ships to the Northern markets. It should be remembered in this connection that each of these crops is followed by some other crop, so that every acre of this land produces two crops a year. XNhn will cav such farminjr doesn't pay. Cantaloupes and watermelons are grown extensively in the vicinity of Maxton and Floral College. Scores of solid cars of watermelons and of cantaloupes are shipped from these points. In the Buie section many of the farmers grow Irish potatoes and other truck for the Northern markets. E. J. BRITT, attokney-at-law, LUMBERTON, N. C. Office over Port's Drug Store.
