Associated Charities Meed Mon-ey-'Pitiful Instances of Desti tution. To the Editor ot The Robesonian: The Associated Charities Lumberton have now been ganized for a little more than one year. During that time we have gone to the relief of more than fifty families. Some of the cases relieved were indeed pitiful. Let me relate one or two instan ces: On Christmas Eve of last year we visited a home where . the mother was digging little scrappy potatoes that her children might have something to eat on Christ mas day. This home contained eleven children, two of whom were in bed. father also in bed, and the weakly moth er was the only stay of support ot the- entire iamily. Another instance where an old woman had out-lived her day and gener ation, possibly, who had long been confined to he bed and was so neglected that bed-sores had come on her body from which worms were em mating. You people of Lumberton have relieved these instances and giv en comfort to these homes, be sides many others of like nature. We have expended about $350 for the relief of these fifty fam ilies. We now are facing another winter, and while the people are generally prosperous and happy. yet there are many homes where dark clouds hang low, and desti tution reigns. Our treasury is empty, and I feel that the gener ous hearts of the people of Lum berton will respond quickly and cheerfully to these demands made upon them. Some one will call on the people next week in behalt of this noble cause. While many of us are looking forward with joyous anticipation to the Christmas-tide, let us ever re member those -upon whom the hand of poverty and affliction lies heavi1, ever remembering that Tt is more blessed to give than to receive.

A man . who has had the mis fortune of having both his legs sawed off about the knees blew into town Friday and took in con siderable coin of the realm by a simple twist of the wrist, as it were. Employing the arts of the accomplished spieler, he gath ered a large crowd about him and proposed to sell some jewelry at various prices, by and bye giving back to. the purchasers the mon ey deposited with him and tell ing them to keep the cuff but tons, or whatever thev had' bought, as a gift from him. That was just like getting a present from home,and when other prop ositions were made with the same result the knot of folks terested indeed and fell over themselves in their haste to take up his razor proposition which proved to be the last. Mr. Spiel er held up razors which he want ed to exchange for one simoleon each, and the way razors chang ed hands for a season was a ciutior. Ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty - five, thirty, thirty rive, forty f 01 ty at least -some say twice tnat many razors were exchanged for the same number of dollars, and then the game was over. No more re turn of money, no more presents. Ihose who stayed in the game until the razor proposition was reached parted with their mon ey for keeps; but they kept the razors all right.
