SUGAR TRUST MUST GET
IT'S."
This is about the size of it, as
summed up by Tavenner, Wash
ington newspaper correspondent:
For years and years the sugar
trust is known to have stolen
from the government. By means
of false weights and tricky
eprings to cheat the scales,
and by bribery of gov
ernment officials, this rapacious
trust diverted into its own coffers
millions of dollars that should
have gone to the government in
revenue. The trust was caught
red handed in its thievery, yet
nobody was punished; nobody
went to jail.
lne government finally put a
stop to the revenue stealing,
The doctored springs were taken
away, and the corrupt custom
collectors were discharged
This forced the trust to adopt
new methods in order to mam
tain its inflated dividends, so re
centiy it sent out a wail about a
"short crop" and now sugar
prices are almost as high as they
were during the Civil War. The
sugar trust is determined to get
"it's,"

battle of Sharpsburg or Antie
tarn, as the rederals called it
fought on the 17th of September,
1862, when less than 40,000 Con
federates, who had suffered great
privations of rest and food and
had made long marches without
shoes over mountain roads, "suc
cessfully battled all day long
with McClellan's magnificiently
equipped army of 90,000 well-fed
and well-clothed soldiers." and
he relates the following incident
which, as he says, "should be
forever remembered with pride
by all North Carolinians:"
"It was at this battle that the
27th North Carolina regiment so
greatly distinguished itself by
remaining in line with empty
guns alter tneir ammunition had
been exhausted and defiantly
waved their colors in the face of
the enemy. This remarkable in
cident is mentionpd hv hnth Can

ever remembered with pride by
all North Carolinians. In this
tt battle fair State suffered most
grtefpnsly, Two of our best
generals, George B. Anderson
and U 0& Branch, were killed
and ambrig, Other of our officers
killed was Col. C, C. Tew, who
had charge of the military school
at Hillsboro before the war. The
third North Carolina regiment
lost more men killed and wound
ed in this battle than any other
regiment and it3 gallant colonel
(W. L. DeRossett) was so se
verely wounded as to be incapac
itated for duty for the remainder
of the war. It was in this bloody
battle that Company C of the
14 North Carolina regiment lost!
in killed and wounded every man
of the 45 present for duty."

Mr. Wallace filled his appoint
ment at Oakdale vesterday and
to-day. The right hand of fel
lowship was extended to the
converts who joined the church
when Mr. Wallace and Mr. Moody
conducted a meeting there not
many weeks ago. The text he
preached from todav is found in
the 16th chapter and 2."th verse
of Matthew.
Am glad to report also that
last night we had a nice time
Our concert was fine. We were
about three hours going through
with the programme. It was a
great pleasure for us to meet
with so many friends. There
was more people on the yard of
old Oakdale than I ever saw
there at one time. Hope the
services were enjoyed by all.
We were glad to meet with one
whom, we have heard about so
much and I guess every reader
of The Robesonian is acquainted
with his name, and that is
Happy Jack." It was a great
pleasure for us to have him with'
-us while reciting our Sundav '
school lesson. Hope he will'visTt
us again soon. pat.
Lumber Bridge Presbyterian
Church Extends Call to Rev.
J. B. Cochran of Parkton.
Parkton Cor, Presbyterian Stanbard,
The Lumber Bridge church, of
Fayetteville Presbyterv. has ex
tended a call to Rev. J. B. Coch
ran, of Parkton, for part of his
time as pastor. Parkton and
Dundarrach churches, who now
nave all his services. uDon heincr
informed of Lumber Bridge's
action, voted heartily and unani
mously to admit her into the
family, and will request Presby
tery, at its approaching meeting,
to change time for this end
Rev. J. B. Cochrane agrees, with
Presbytery's approval, to accept
tne neia as changed. As Lum
ber Bridge lies between Parkton
and Dundarrach, four miles from
one and six miles from the other,
the grouping is a natural and
compact one. The united mem
bership of churches is only 295
standing fourteenth numerically
in rresnytery's thirty-one settled
pastorates. But united, instead
of seperated, they will weigh
heavier than ever before. It
will be one of the stronger par
torates of Fayetteville in the
future. The country occupied
by this group in North Robeson
and South Hoke is a very fine
farming section, and settled up
principally by the genuine old
Scotch Highlanders. An ideal
home it sould be.
