Mt.Eliam.June 2 It looks now like things are going to be but toned up in these parts. Tobac co is buttoning where it is not much over finger high and the worms and tobacco hoppers are working the holes. This community was saddened Sunday when the news of the death of Mrs. J. K. Britt was heard. She died at 9 o'clock Sun day. Her health had been bad for several years, but she had only been in bed two days. She leaves a husband and one child, besides many friends, to mourn her loss, as she was loved by all who knew her and was one of our best singers. She was 36 years old and joined the Long Branch Baptist church when a girl and had been a constant member ever since. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. A. Stephens from the resi dence Monday at 10 o'clock and the remains were laid to rest near the home. Mr. Rossie Britt spent Sunday afternoon near Barnesville. Our people seemed to enjoyed the Baptist Union at Hog Swamp last week. The sermon Satur urday, which was preached by Rev. C. H. Durham, of Lumber ton, was as good as "Happy Jack" ever listened to. His sub ject was "Christian Steward ship." The speech on the Lay men's Movement by Rev. I. P. Hedgepeth was enough to make all who were fortunate enough to hear it resolve to do more for missions than ever before.Those who heard Rev. F. T. Collins' address on the Sunday-School on . Sunday say it was the best ever delivered in these parts. I think it would be nice for the band af Robesonian corres pondents to organize themselves as the county paper correspon dents of some other counties have done. We could have a meeting or rally at Lumberton, or some other place, once or twice each year. I believe we could make the dear paper called The Rob esonian better and do more for different communities. We could call it The Robesonian Corres pondents' Associotion.

Martin, who has been living here and doing car penter work for six or eight months, moved to Lumberton Wednesday, but wiil come back and build another dwelling or two some time soon.

Governor Kitchin yesterday withdrew his call for a special session of the Legislature June 14th, the emergency which prompted the call, issued sever al days ago, having been met. 1 he purpose of the session was to provide means for taking up a balance of $2,127,500 on a re funding of the bond issue of $3,430,000 due July 1st. Follow ing the conference of bankers with Governor Kitchin and the Council of State, State Treasurer Lacy yesterday afternoon an nounced that there are in hand bidsof more than $50,000 in excess of the amount needed to take up the entire bond issue, and in ad aition to this, at the time the announcement was made, he had in hand a number of bids just received that he hadn't had time to open. The American Tobacco Com pany, the principal officers of which are North Carolinians, DanKing ana otner ousmess in terests of the State have saved the State the expense of an extra session by purchasing these bonds. Governor Kitchin is enthusias tic over the result of the confer ence, declaring it was a source of special gratification to him that the bankers responded so gener ally and adequately to the appea found necessary to make them, their prompt action having obht erated the necessity for an extra session.
