THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN
LUMBER BRIDGE LOCALS.
Intelligent Farmer Good Cam
paign Advice Other Items.
Lumber Bridge, July 16-Not
having seen any communications
from Lumber Bridge since the
"Busy Bees" ceased to work, I
tend you these lines to let you
know we still exist, and from
appearance some of our citizens
are very much alive and are fol
lowing their vocations with the
necessary energy to bring re
sults. The farms in this section
for the most part show ample
and intelligent cultivation, and
bid fair to yield a bountiful har
vest. The recent rains have re
tarded the work some, but as
yet there is very little grass.
News is scarce. Our people
are industrious and law-abiding,
and sensations are of rare occur--rence.
As the farmers will soon be
done laying by their crops they
will naturally have more time to
spend in the interest of the can
didates of their choice. By the
way, it looks as if everybody
could be suited, there are bo
many to select from.
We have candidates young and candi
dates old,
Candidates timid and candidates bold,
Candidates fat and candidates lean
The like of candidates never was
seen.
In discussing candidates, it is
to be regretted that almost the
first question asked about a can
didate is, "To which faction
does he belong?" We ought to
be united and present a solid
front to the enemy instead of
fighting in our own household. I
take it for granted that all who
have announced their candidacy
are good men. Would it not be
more manly to extol the virtues
of the men of your choice and
let the rest alone? It seems
that some people are not in their
proper element unless they are
slinging mud at their opponents,
trying to damage and cripple
their influence. I hope such a
spirit will not manifest itself
during the coming campaign in
this grand old county. Observe
the golden rule, and if you can't
say something helpful leave
what you feel like saying unsaid.
Then you will come out of the
contest with a clear conscience.
Company L, 2nd Infantry, N.
C. National Guards, returned
from Camp Glenn on the 12th
ult from their annual encamp
ment. They report a good time,
and say that the soldier boys ac
quitted themselves most honor
ably. Quite h number from here are
at Wrightsville enjoying the
surf, while some are at Jackson
Springs and others are going to
Montreat and perhaps to other
pleasure resorts. Time and
space forbid my giving the
names of those who come and
go, as is the custom of most cor
respondents. That can be of
only local interest
Jawbone.
"Jawbone" is a new one
but he writes most interest
ingly and intelligently and we
hope to hear from him often.

HAVE YOU EVER
TAKEN CALOMEL?
Next Time Don't Do It, It's Dan
gerous. Try Dod son's Liver
Tone Instead It's Safe.
You ought to know what a
dangerous and uncertain drug
the chemical, calomel, is. Per
haps you know several people
who have been salivated by what
they thought was a very light
dose of calomel.
Next time you have an attack
of billiousness, or when your
liver has gotten sluggish, come
to J. D. McMillan & Son's drug
store and ask for a bottle of
Dodson's Liver-Tone. You will
find it a pleasant tasted liquid
and a perfect substitute for cal
omel in every respect and with
out the dangerous after-effects
of calomel.
Dodson's Liver-Tone gives the
liver just the amount of gentle
stimulation it needs to induce it
to do its work properly and thor
oughly. J. D. McMillan & Son's
drug store will give you your
money back any time Dodson's
Liver-Tone fails to prove itself a
perfect substitute for calomel.
