They are staying at present at the home of. the greom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Agrippa Mercer. There was a large crowd at the concert and box supper at Antioch school house Saturday night. The concert was one of the best ever hld there. Miss Nora Johnson, one of the teach ers, deserves credit for getting up such a good concert. "Jumbo Jum" was presented in 3 acts by seven boys and three girls and all acted their parts well. Miss Martha Todd won a handsome brooch pin for being the most popular girl in the voting con test. The boxes sold well. The highest bid on one waslover six dollars. Quite a nice sum of money was raised from the vot ing contest and the sale of boxes, which will be used for repairing the school building. Uncle Jack. Movements of the People Out Saddle Tree Way.

Second Annual Banquet of the Robeson County Club at the University. Correspondence of The Robeson Ian. Chapel Hill, Jan. 31. On Saturday evening, January 28th. the Robeson County Club at the University held its second an nual banquet. At 9 o'clock we assembled at the "coop," where "Marse Jesse," the favorite caterer, had prepared a sump tuous feast. The menu consisted of six courses, but with our full bred country appetite we were easily equal to the occasion. A. J. Hodgin, president of the club, acted as toastmaster. He briefly reviewed the history of the club, stating it was organized in 1906 with only three members, but that this number had steadily grown, and this year Robeson had 22 sons at the University. He closed his remarks with an appeal to the boys to stand by their club and make it a success in the future as it .had been in the past. The next speaker was J. A. McGoogan. He spoke on "The True Function of a County Club in the University." The object of a county club, he said, is to bring the boys into closer rela tionship with each other, to act as a co-operative force in univer sity life, and to unify our in terest in our county. He closed by making an appeal to the newer members of the club to enter into all phases of university life, and to strive for symmetrical, not one-sided, development. J. A. McLean, who wa3 next called upon, spoke of the pride which Robesonians have for their native county. He said that to ask a Robesonian what county he was from always brought forth a smile. But, he said further, that our heritage brought with it responsibility, that we should do all in our power for the advancement of our county. Brief remarks were made by other members of the club, and many spicy jokes were told. We had hoped to have Senator Cobb with us, but it was impossible for him to come. At 11:30 the banquet closed. After giving several yells for Robeson county we all went to our rooms con scious that we- had spent the evening plesantly, that our ban quet had been a success. "A Robesonian."

The asso- ciauon aaoptea resolutions urg ing the passage of a general State stock law and recommend ing that forestry be taught in tne A. & M. , College and its principles in the public schools. Good Roads. Recorder's Court and Taxation Mr. G. S. Humphrey's Views Discussed. Ta the Editor of The Robmonian: I notice in your last issue an article from Mr. G. S. Humphrey headed "Good Roads." I asree with him in some particulars, and disagree with him in others. I, like him, want good roads and would favor a bond issue if we can formulate a road system that will insure a judicious expendi ture of the money in building and maintaining the public roads, but I am unalterably opposed to issuing bonds until such a system i3 devised and enacted into law. Get the system, and then let's have the bonds. I, with many others in this neck of the woods am opposed to establishing a recorder's court for the whole county to be located at Lumberton, as I fail to see wherein it will save money to tlio county, collectively or individual ly, as many people from the re mote parts of the county would have to attend the recorder's court in Lumberton and then in all probability have to attend the superior court in the same case; but I think recorders at differ ent places in the county, say Maxton, Pembroke, St. Pau', I LurnberLon, FuLmont, Barm s ville, etc., might give the reh-l desired. I am not agreed with Mr. Humphrey for a low assessment of property for taxation. I be lieve that justice demands that all property should be assessed at it's true value in cash, for if a man has money on hand or on deposit he pays tax on every penny of it. The same applies to solvent credits, stock in in corporated companies, etc., when one ' can invest his money in land and pay tax on less than one-fourth of what the same land will bring on the market. Raise the value and reduce the rate, and taxes need not be any heav ier than a high rate on a low as sessment. I think, Mr. Humphrey, your suggestion of contracting out the roads in sections to be worked is a good one, but I think you are wrong in regard to taxation. What we need is a high valu ation and a low rate, or at least this is the way it looks to me. Geo. C. Fisher. Maxton, N. C, Feb. 1st, 1911.
