THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN SPECIAL NOTICE. It has been a rule of The Robeson ian for several years to charge for publishing cards of thanks, resolutions of re spect and obituaries. Occa sionally we get obituaries or resolutions of respect with re quest to publish free, however so it appears necessary to give this notice prominence again. All such notices must be paid for at the rate of one cent a word for obituaries and reso lutions and not less than 50 cents for cards of thanks. This applies to all. Anything of this nature that is worth pub lishing is worth paying for; if not worth paying for then a paper should not be expected to incur the expense of publish ing for nothing. MOUNT ELIAM MATTERS. A Time With a "Gater"-Ex-cursion Suggested Cotton Seed Good for Many Things Lumberton Kicked Aroun' -McKenzic and Higley Per sonal Mention. Oomapondcnce of The Robeonlan. Mt. Eliam, June 10 Rain and grass, we are having plenty of both at this time. Mr. Tom Britt says he had a sure-enough "hair-raising" ex citement with an aligator in Lumber river one day recently. He says he shot the "gater" with small shot, and of all the pad things that mrAtt fc 3fe;tK man for county treasurer, in a boat it was that selfsame Wu0Th, hmther Sidney' "eater." but when he shot him with a load of buck shot and knocked a hole in him as big as his fist it was soon over. Wouldn't it be nice for Mr. Frank Gough, our much-liked general Sunday school superin tendent to arrange to run a Sun day school excursion to the Bap tist Orphanage at Thomasville gome time this summer? Just for the schools which compose the Mt Eliam Sunday School In stitute, of which there are eight. We think a large number of our Sunday school folks would take pride in going to the Orphanage which they help support, and no doubt it would cause more inter est to be taken in this institution, which should be near and dear to us all. Mrs. E. B. Stone has been very sick for several days. We hope for her a speedy recovery. We heard of a certain sport who bought himself one of those right "purty" white summer hats, and behold a horse got tuck on it and eat it all up. Sad but true. Mr. S. E. Martin, of Wilming ton, spent a few days recently with home folks. A good number of our folks have gone to Boardman today on business. The time once was when the question was, what are cotton seed good for? Now it is what are they not good for? Mr. Orien Martin says the meal, which is good for so many things, is a No. 1 substitute for corn chops as a hog feed, and not long since we heard a man tell about eating biscuit made from the meal that was all to the good. And it goes merrily on. Not long since we heard of one man making four men happy before he stopped to rest by tieing them to the ones they loved. If you are a farmer and a friend to yourself, your neigh bor and your children, and haven't already done so join the Farmers' Union at cnce. It will mean much to you, and more to your children. The way Lumberton has been kicked aroun' and the way it has been advancing in every way, one would almost be made to believe it takes kicking to make it do its best Where is a town that has been kicked aroun' like Lumberton? and where is a town that has made more ad vancement in all lines for itsjbet terment? The sentiment of Mc- Eachern should be the sentiment of many. The blue mouths that can be seen all over the country are plenty of evidence that the huckleberry crop this year is far above the average. We are sure now that the prin cipai oi ooawm is rnucn more that of a gentleman than we had ever thought, and we never have had a bad opinion of him As with the berry crop, so it ii with the "skeeter crop this year. ine cnuaren s day exercises will come off the third Sun aay at 6 p. m. ine puoiic is in vited. Messrs. Leonard and Grover Britt spent SltuTday ahoT Sunday at Lumberton on business. Miss Katie Stone left today for Greenville, where she will enter the Greenville Training School for teachers. ' Mr. and Mrs. I. V. Britt spent Sunday at Stephen's crossing. We received a letter from State Senator W. S. Cobb, of Lumber Bridare. last week in which he said he was shipping from six to eight hundred bar rels of Irish potatoes 1 every day, and that's "taters" some. Mrs E. H. Surles of Bloom ingdale is spending this week with her mother Mrs. R. S. Britt. Mr. J. M. Sellers of Orrum spent Sunday on the "Mount." Sorry to report the illness of Ruth, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Z. Stone. There is an alligator in the canal near here that is as much as eight feet long, and broad in proportion, several have seen him. Things will stay on the "Mount." We feel like we imagine Jona felt when swallowed by the whale. Any way, we know how it feels to be swallowed, as Sidney hna Rwallowed us all up com pletely as the whale swallowed Jona. Now Sidney, do you really think you are the only one who has a right to his oppinion? and haven't I as much right to speak up for the man I think is best for treasurer as you have to speak up for the one you think is best? I should say yes. I haven't got a word to say against Mr. Kinlaw, as we believe he is a gentleman living in a good sec tion of Robeson, but he can be a I genUemani as he, is, and stitt,,npt What do you say brother Sidney? Sindey don't you really think my hands would be as clean after going into politics, so far as politics are concerned, as yours would be, if so why did you score me for wading in a little and then jump in head first your self? The rain may fall and Sid ney may blow, but McKenzie is on a solid rock. We said it once, and we'll say it again, If Sidney of Howellaville does raise cain; For treasurer, we all ' know that Mc Kenzie is best, For register Higley's as good for he has stood the test.

Many Lumberton Women are Learning the Cause. Women often suffer, not know ing the cause. Backache, headache, dizziness, nervousness. Irregular urinary passages, weakness, languor Each a torture of itself. Together hint at weakned kid neys. Strike at the root get to the cause. Quickly help the kidneys if they need it. No other remedy more highly endorsed than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's convincing testimony from this locality. Mrs. S. H. Kefauver, 428 Ram sey St., Fayetteville, N. C, says: I have no hetitation in recom mending Doan's Kidney Pills for I know them to be a remedy of merit. I used them for kidney complaint and a dull, nagging backache. I received great bene fit and consequently I know that this remedy can be depended upon." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
