Better Than Shingles
'THOUSANDS of people
buy shingles for their
roofs rather than face the prospect
of painting a ready roofing every
year or two.
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. It 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
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. The
large headed nails which we fur
nish save fussing with caps, which
rust easily.
Amatite is up to date.
Send for a Sample and look it
over. You'll never buy any other.

Some Son or Daughter of the
County Should Write a His
tory of the Robeson Soldier in
the Civil War Facts Lacking
in War Histories Angel's
Food Work Suggested for
Daughters of Confederacy,
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
In his late memorial address at
LumDerton, juuge Clarke sug'
gestea tnat some native son or
daughter write a history of the
Robeson soldier in the war
In the hope that some one who
naa seen more actual service or
was more immediately and per
sonally interested in such a his
tory, would publicly agitate the
matter, I have refrained until
now from taking any public no
tice of the matter.
I have frequently noticed the
statement that North Carolina
had more soldiers in the Confed
erate army than she had voters
in 1861. I have had occasion
heretofore to estimate upon the
br.ris of the U. S. census of the
white male population in 1860,
the number over 21. and 150,000
is a liberal estimate. About 20
per cent of that voting population
was over the age of 45, and of
that class only a small percent
age were in service. Consider
ably more than 90 per cent of all
the boys who were 13 years old
in May, 1861, were actively serv
ing as soldiers in 1865, and death
percentages in tnis class were
large as were also the losses in
the class that had not reached
the age of 21, at the beginning
of the war. The formative in
fluences that give the trend to
the lives of most men, are be
tween tne ages oi 14 ana zi ana
therefore constitute, perhaps, the
most important period of their
lives. Facts upon which to base
any conclusion as to the losses
the country sustained in the loss
of such population are wholly
lacking in the war histories of
the country, so far as I have
seen, and they can probably nev
er be made available except
through the medium of local his
tory. This is but one of a variety
of illustrations that might be
cited, showing the value of a lo
cal history, as history. Monu
ments have little historical value.
They are little more than visible
tokens of the affectionate re
membrance of those in whose
memory they are erected. The
monument of the average ceme
tery or graveyard usually has the
name of the deceased, the dates
of birth and death accompanied
so'inetimes by an appropriate
motto or other inscription. This
personal feature is wholly want
ing in patriotic monuments.
As one views the average
monument that is erected to the
memory of the soldier of the
Confederacy, there is that in it
which reminds him of the altar
which the apostle saw at Athens,
an altar with the inscription "To
he Unknown God . The spirit
E worship was strong in the
breast of the Greek, but he wor
shipped ignorantly and in order
that he might know who and
what he worshipped, it was
necessary for Paul "to declare
him unto them". It is the same
with all monuments to the com
mon soldier of the Confederacy,
f we would do homage to his
memory, the only practical way
to do it is upon the printed page
ot local history. We ana our
brefathers have lived in an edu
cational atmosphere, that mini
mized the value, especially the ed
ucational value, of local history,
We have accustomed ourselves
to the idea that there was noth
ing in the character or achieve'
ments of our kindred,fnendsand
our sou. l have learned also
that within the area of this new
county, a monument was erected
in memory of that epoch instead
of in Scuffletown, where it would
nave been of some value as an
object lesson in history to the de
scendants of those coloni3ts.
This is one of the specimens of
what it seems to me is the angel's
food upon which the generations
have been fed, to the exclusion
of the solid nutriment to be de
rived from a study of the charac
ters and acievements of the stur
dy men and women who have
conquered the wilderness and
made it the fit dwelling place of
the most enlightened people on
the globe.
It is probably too late to under
take a local history of Robeson
from its beginning, but it is not
too late to take it up from the
beginning of the Civil war and
range it around the Robeson sol
diers in the war.
The "Daughters of the Con
federacy is an organization
tion which was created for that
purpose, and from what I have
read of their work, I feel sure
they would undertake it if they
deemed it feasible. By appor
tioning the work among the dif
ferent chapters, the task would
De a comparatively easy ana in
expensive one, and with the ac
tive and moral support of all the
people of Robeson, the result
would be a history that would
enter every household and be
valued as a precious memento by
thousands yet unborn.
As a beginning, I would like to
see published a roster of every
company composed in whole or
in part of men from Robeson.
From such a starting point, all
the material for a proper his
tory could easily be obtained. I
feel sure The Robesonian would
lend its columns to such work and
I hope to see it actively launched
before all the veterans pass away
ana the Dest source tor data is
entirely gone.
Z. T. Fulmore.
Austin, Tex., June 10, 1909.
In a letter accompanying the
above Judge Fulmore writes that
he will be glad to outline the de
tails connected with the work he
suggests if any Confederate or
ganizations feel disposed to take
it up. The Robesonian will be
glad to lend its columns to the
work and render any assistance
in its power. This is an impor
tant work that should be done
and delay will make it increas
ingly difficult. Editor.

honored upon the historic page,
we ask the old question, Is this
the Carpenter's son".
In my school days, the youth
who learned anything at all about
State history learned more about
Sir Walter Raleigh, who was nev
er within a thousand miles of
North Carolina soil, than almost
any dozen men that ever figured
in the real history of the State,
and from my limited observation
I am strongly inclined to believe
that such is still the case. But
little as he learned of State his
tory, he learned far less about
the history of his own county
and its people.
In the creation and naming of
the many counties by the State
.Legislature since lobo, only one
of the 43,000 dead Confederates
mentioned by Judge Clarke was
remembered, and that was Gen.
Pender. On the other hand, by
wav of accentuatincr the affec
tionate remembrance of Virginia
Dare, that body went back 300
years and took her name from
the historically unimportant
epoch of Sir Walter's colony, and
gave it to a new county, for the
sole reason that she happened to
be the first English baby born on
Rev. Dr. H. G. Hill, of Max-
ton, the venerable pastor of the
Maxton and Centre Presby
terian churches, who spent yes
terday and last night in the city
in attendance upon the sessions
of the board of regents of Ba
rium Springs Orphanage, is one
of the most eminent ministers in
the Southern General Assembly.
He was asked a few days ago
the number of sermons he had
preacnea. Alter tmnking a
short time he responded that his
recollection as to figures did not
go lather back than 1871, but
that since that time he had
preached, approximately, 4,900
sermons and had dehverd some
thing like 2,200 addresses. Dr,
Hill is about 77 years of age and
is a splendid type of that robust,
militant clergy of by-gone days.
He has held almost every honor
in the gift of his Church, hav
ing served as moderator of the
Synod of North Carolina and
moderator of the General As

he has been a member of the
board of trustees of Union The

Meeting of the Womau's Home
Mission Society at Louisburg
-Royally Entertained -Great
Growth of the Society Where
First Conference of Methodist
Church Was Held.
To the Editor of The Robesonian
As there are many Methodist
readers of your excellent pauer
perhaps they will be interested
in an account of the conference
of the Woman's Home Mission
Society of the North Carolina
Conterence held recently at
Louisburg.
It was my privilege to attend
this conference in company with
MissSybil Oliver,of Marietta.and
to say we enjoyed the occasion
puts itmildly indeed. We left Fair
mont on Monday and, connec
tions being line, we could have
reached Louisburg for supper,
but remained over night with
friends in Raleigh and enjoyed
the little rest and their company
so much. Next day we reached
Louisburg in company with some
fifty other ladies from all parts
of the Conference, and such
home mission discussions! We
had a special car over the branch
line from Franklinton and on
our arrival were met by seem
ingly almost the whole of Louis
burg, with ready hands of friend
ship, carriages to ride any and
everywhere, and every moment
of our stay was filled with every
thoughtful care of our comfort
and pleasure which it was pos
sible to receive. All the Meth
odist homes in town and many
oi tne oiner denominations were
open to us, and the only com
plaint was of not enough company.
lhe delegates and visitors
counted up to almost a hundred,
ana tne meetings, which were
held three times a day in the
pretty red brick church, were
well attended and seemed much
enjoyed by even outsiders. Mrs.
R. B. John, president of the So
ciety, presided at every session,
and truly she is one of the "elect
ladies"of the land. Dignified and
well poised, she is yet kindness
and affability itself, and is look
ed up to with greatest reverence
by all who come in contact with
her.
The reports, as read by the
different officers of the society
and the delegates from the in
dividual auxiliaries, shewed great
improvement and increase in the
past year. About sixteen new
societies were reported, and no
society reported less work done
or less money collected than last
year. We now have 1,666 mem
bers and raised last year near
ly, if not quite, $11,000.
The Society is showing great
er growth than any other or-
ganization of the Southern
Methodist Church, and is broad
ening out its work every month.
Many interesting papers were
read, and talks and discussion of
the work were much enjoyed and
taught us so much of the work
which we did not know before.
Truly it is one of the greatest
of the Church s organizations; it
takes in so many kinds of work.
One of the pleasures of the
conference was the presence of

Mr. A. T. Turner, one of our
most prosperous farmers, was in
town a few days ago, and inform

bacco that was making his

Mr. Turner says this field of to
bacco was set out the 13th day
of April, and laid by the 3rd day
of June, having used only 425
plants in replanting the entire
held a complete stand.
He also says that it was topped
over the 9th and 10th of June,
and at that time the stalks, which
seemed to vie with each other in
a race for maturity and superior
ity, have from 13 to 21 large tan-
hke leaves, and a yield of 1400
pounds per acre is expected.
Mr. Chambers, manager of the
Fairmont tobacco warehouse, and
others who have seen this farm
are loud in their praise of Mr,
Turner as a farmer and tobacco

most interesting talk on her work
for fallen girls.
We had many pleasures of a
social character, among them be
inga fiveo'clock tea, or reception,
at the lovely old colonial Louis
burg Female College building.
This is one of the loveliest places
we have ever seen, the magnifi
cent oaks of the campus being
worth driving miles to see.
Another great pleasure was a
drive with our delightful hostess,
Mrs. J. A. Turner, out to Green
Hillarm two miles from town,
where was held the first Con
ference of the Methodist Church
ever held in America. It was
presided over by Bishop Asbury
and he and the twenty preachers
gathered in the upper chamber
of this grand old hero's home
and laid plans -which by being
carried out have revolutionized
the world. We went into this
room, and though the house was
then (1785) being occupied, yet
it is in a perfect state of preser
vation and has been lived in con
stantly ever since. We stood
under the oaks centuries old and
looked over the hills to where
lies the body of Edwin Fuller,
the author of that most lovely
poem, "The Angel In the Cloud",
and "Sea Gift", one of the first
novels we ever read, and
thonght of the fame of this
descendant of Green Hill. Over
in the college presides another
descendant, Mrs. Ivey Allen.
In the church are memorial
community. Although called lit
tle, he was by no means a small
man, as my memory recalls him.
He was a fine man and was rated
as oneof nature's noblemen. Her
mother was a sister of General
John McQueen, of South Caro
lina.
Mr. McEachin sold his farm
and moved about 1845 to Floral
College, where he engaged in
merchandising up to the time of
his removal to Alabama. I was
too young at the time of his leav
ing his old neighborhood to know
much about the family.but atter
wards knew them at Floral Col
lege. His oldest daughter, Ann
Margaret, a fine type of woman
hood, married Lawyer Kelly, of
Moore county. They have both
been dead now for several years.
I remember the oldest son, John
Edmond, as a handsome, pleasant-faced
young doctor. Hector,
the next oldest son, married a
Miss Inman from the lower part
of Robeson. Then came Bruce,
about my own age, I imagine,
who, I have heard, has or had a
large law practice in Birming
ham, Ala. He was very bright
and talented. Next to him in the
line of the boys was Jimmie, and
another son whose name I have
forgotten. The youngest of the
family was a daughter, Miss
Sallie. Of Mrs. Beall and Mrs
ueaie l rememoer very little, as
I was too shame-faced at that
time of my life to enter much
into tne ratner select co
terie of young ;ladies who domi
nated the fashionable life at the
College.
At the time of which I write,
Floral College was at its high
tide of efficiency and popularity.
It was established principally by
the intelligent suggestions and
influence of Lawyer Gilchrist, its
first charter being granted by
the Legislature of 1841. It great
ly influenced the spread and en
couragement of education in
Robeson ana the surrounding
counties. I think it was the first
chartered female college in the
South, and was only antedated
by a few years by Holyoke Semi
nary of Massachusetts. If I am
wrong, somebody will please call
me down.
Rev. John R. Mcintosh, a very
superior man, was its hrst pres
ident, with a good corps ot in
structors. The College was es
tablished in the midst of anintel
ligent and highly appreciative
neighborhood. Most of the peO'
pie were well-to-do, a few what
in those days you would call
wealthy, and none poor. Some
sported fine turnouts of Sundays
the church
gold-headed
canes and talked about Calhoun,
Clay and Webster, as we now
talk of Do you know whom? I
must confess I do not.
The annual examination of this
institution on the second week in
June was one of the crowning
events of the day. The concert at
night was usually closed by
Squire Peter McEachin on the
fiddle (or violin, I suppose I
should say), and Miss Chattie at
the piano. At that time I
thought I had never heard finer
music in my life, and am inclined
to the same opinion still. Then
there was no German of French
music, with unpronounceable no
menclature to distract one's men
tal equilibrium and rattle his
nerves; but good old-time tunes
that will ever live to soothe and
cheer mankind.

that it would be rich and a

teresting.especially to those mat
ed with princely young men. Tl
proposition is that the Club will

to compare notes and see if the
forecast of the prophetess is cor
rect. The last number was a vo
cal solo by Miss I,eila Barnes,
given in her inimitable style.and

Then came the contest. The
members and guests were given
walnuts in which were found
quotations, which gave the clue
to who would be pardners. Mrs.
Kirkpatrick was the winner of
the prize, a handsome set of nut
picks.
