WHOLE NO. 2820 TEACHERS AND COMMITTEEMEN MEET. Joint Meeting Held Here Saturday for Discussion of School Problems Meeting Well Attended and Much Interest Manifested Subjects Dis cussed. County school teachers and com mitteemen held a joint meeting in the court room at the court house here ""Saturday for the purpose of discus sing school problems. About 135 teachers and 50 committeemen attend ed and the discussions were profitable and helpful. County Superintendent J. R. Poole called the meeting to order at 11 o'clock a. m. Rev. J. W. Bradley, pas tor of. Chestnut Street Methodist churck, led in prayer, after which, all joined in singirg "Carolina," Clerk of the Court C. B. Skipper leading. Supt. Poole stated that school re ports so far received were most en couraging, the enrollment and aver age attendance being better than ever before for the time of year. He, an nounced the following topics for dis cussing: 1. What definite qualifications and "what definite things have you a right, .as a school committeemen, to expect of the teacher in your district this session ? 2. Along what definite lines has the ' teacher in your district a right to ex pect your active co-operation as a school committeemen. 3. What definite benefits have been ,-ujned for the children of your dis- - tiKt,&a' well uJJ'Miv u.Jaityith-zi large, through the voting of local tax? 4. What definite benefits have been gained for the children of your dis trict, as well as the community at large, through the consolidation of the small one-teacher schools into a school with two or more teachers? 5. Along what definite lines can you, as a school committeeman, labor to improve the educational opportun ities and advantages of the children of your district, as well as your county at large ? These subjects were discussed "by Committeemen J. E. Carlyle, of dis trict No. 1, Raft Swamp, and Jno W. Gaddy, of district No. 4, Thompson's; L. C. Brogden of Raleigh, State su pervisor of rural and elementary schools; R. H. Pope, principal of the Parkton graded school; M. Shepherd, principal of the Orrum high school; D. F. Giles of Marion, formerly su perintendent of McDowell county schools, now representing Rand, Mc Nally & Co.; Supt. R. E. Sentelle, of the Lumberton graded school; J. E. Dowd, principal of Red Springs school. Space will not permit a renort in detail of the excellent ideas advanced by the different speakers. Mr. Brog den spoke more at length than others, discussing especially the following flualififitions which a committeeman should expect of a tc:icher: Honesty, sincerity and morality; cheerfulness of disposition; neatness; knowledge of subjects to be taught; use of most improved methods, such as reading courses, and subscription to journals of education; registers neatly and correctly kept; attendance upon and help in Sunday school work. He also touched upon what might be expected of a committeeman. Supt. Sentelle said he was glad that subject was on the programme for discussion, for it was important. Some of the things that teachers ought to expect of committeemen, as brought out by the .speakers, were: Co-operation in se curing attendance; keeping building in repair and looking after wood and other supplies; visits to the school once a month and spending at least 25 or 30 minutes in the school room. Mr. Gaddy told how they went .about getting special tax in his dis trictNo. 4, Thompson's and the good that has resulted. Before spe cial tax was voted people moved out of the district because they could not have a good school, whereas now they have an up-to-date school build ing and a term of 7 or 8 months. Prof. Shepherd bore pretty much the same testimony as to conditions before and after at Orrum and declared that the special tax, instead of being a burden, is a paying investment. Prof Dowd brought out the fact that a word of encouragement from the committeemen helps the teachers in their work. One important point brought out by Mr. Brogden was consolidation of small one-teacher schools into schools with two or more teachers. He rec ommends! this as t li !x -,t solution of the small rural school problem. The meeting adjourned about 2:'f0 o'clock p.m . It proved helpful to both teachers and committeemen and is expected to result in much good. Public Debate Tomorrow Evening by Graded School Boys.

"riiie for LUMBER RIVER IMPROVEMENT Major Howell, a War Department Engineer, Visits Lumberton to Secure Data Will Report on Ad visability of Making Lumber Riv er Navigable. Major G. P. Howell, in charge of a corps of engineers of the War De partment, with headquarters at Charleston, S. C, spent last Thurs day in Lumberton, as has been men tioned in The Robesonian, getting information upon which to base a re port upon the proposed improvement of Lumber river. At the last session of Congress, it will be recalled, Sen ator Simmons and Congressman God win secured an appropriation of $5, 000 for a survey of Lumber river from its mouth to the Turnpike bridge in Scotland county, this sur vey being for the purpose of determ ining the feasibility of the Govern ment's undertaking to straighten and deepen the channel of the river in order to make it navigable. In order to give the people a chance to express their interest in this matter and to give Major How ell the information he desired, President R. D. Caldwell, of the In dustrial and Commercial Club, in vited all who were interested to meet Major Howell in the club rooms Thursday morning at 11 o'clock. About 60 business and professional men manifested interest in this most important matter by being present, and the meeting was an interesting one. v f!dweH'ss.'u''v'tMr A w. McLean presided., in assuming the chair Mr. McLean recalled in stances which had come under his observation, in Florida and in Scot land especially, where apparently in significant streams, not so large as Lumber river, had been made nav igable and were now important factors in transportation, and ex pressed the conviction that Lumber river could be made navigable at no greater cost than had been incurred in making many other streams nav igable and that the results would make the work well worth whne. Mr. Caldwell and others informed Major Howell that it might be ex pected that trie river would be used largely in transporting lumber, fertilizers and cotton and he seemed favorably impressed with the rep rcsem.ations made, so that it may fairly be expected that he will make a lavorable report to the Govern ment. Whether or not an additional appropriation will be made to fol low up the survey will depend upon major Howell s report. fostoffice Application Bill Reported to the House. Washington Dispatch, 12th. The postoffice appropriation bill, aggregating $278,489,781, including $i.-)0,000 for parcels post equipment and $25,000 for the Parcels Post Com mission, was reported to the House today. The total is a decrease of $3;301,727 from last year's estimates. The Postoffice Department submit ted increased estimates, partly at tributed to the expenses of the par cels post and to the postal savings bank. The estimate was reduced by the commmittee on the ground that the estimates as to these projects are largely speculative at this time. De spite the Postmaster General's report of a small surplus for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, the Postoffice Committee reported that there was a deficiency of about $260,000 instead of a surplus of $219,000 for that year. Similarly, according to the commit tee, the accounts chargeable to this year may make a change in the Post master General's audited deficit of $1,785,523 for the fiscal year 1912.

Regulations to cover workings of the new parcels post system, which is to go into operation January 1, next, were made public by Postmaster General Hitchcock today. The new system will be effective throughout the entire postal service at the same time and will affect every postoffce, city, rural and railway mail transpor tation route in the country. Every precaution will be taken by the post office to have the mails moved with the usual dispatch, and all postmast ers, superintendents and inspectors have been directed to thoroughly familiarize themselves and their subordinates with every phase of the new system. The regulations provide that par cels of merchandise, including farm and factory products (but not books and printed matter) of almost every description up to 11 pounds in weight and measuring as much as six feet in length and girth combined, except those calculated to do injury to the mails in transit, may be mailed at any postoffice for delivery to any address in the country. Delivery will be made to the homes of people liv ing on rural and star routes as well :e Jiving jn ..cities.. a.rd vjowns where there is delivery ;oy carrier. Where there is at present do delivery by carrier the parcels will go to the postoffices as is the case with ordi nary mail. The postage rate for the zone, that is, within distance not exceeding 50 miles, will be five cents for the first pound and three cents for each addi tional pound. Rates increase for each successive one of the eight zones into which the country is divided. The maximum rate being 12 cents a pound, which will carry a parcel across the continent, or even to Alas ka and the Philippines. For a fee of 10 cents a parcel may be insured and if the parcel is lost in the mails an indemnity to the amount of its value not to exceed $50 will be paid to the sender. The law provides for the use of distinctive postage stamps and there is now being distributed to postmast ers for use in the palcel post system a set of stamps of 12 denominations. Parcel post maps with accompanying guides are to be sold to the public at their cost, 75 cnts, through the chief clerk of the Postoffice Depart ment. Funcral of Col. E. F. McRa.-.

A Quick Action Development Start ed Up Hoke County Way. Southern Pines Dispatch, 10th. A quick-action development has started on another 2000-acre tract of land just across the Hoke county line from Southern Pines. Dr. A. C. Bethune of Aberdeen has sold the Byrd tract of 2,000 acres on Rock fish creek for division among a num ber of persons from Stanly and Row an counties, and some of the buyers are moving in and beginning clearing operations. The Pickle brothers, Knooce, Sur ratt and others are among the new comers, and it is stated that 10 fami lies will be on the new lands by spring. This tract adjoins the 1, 600 acres sold a few days ago to J. C. Witherspoon, who has also bought 2000 acres further over toward Mon trose, which brings the total sale in the one vicinity up to the neighbor hood of 4,000 acres in a couple of weeks.

MT. ELI AM MATTERS. Train Kills Several Cow Making Ready for Another Crop County Farmers' Union Meeting Thurs day. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Mt. Eliam, Dec. 16. Myself and Mr. Frank Gough spent yesterday on the "Mount." This was our first trip there in three weeks, a long time to stay away from the best place of all home. We found a good number at Sunday school. They were delight ed to have Mr. Gough with them. He taught the lesson to the whole school in a very easy-understanding way. Saturday Mr. Orion Martin's mule ran away and hurt him to some ex tent, not serious. Friday night the train killed all the cows Mr. Redden Phillips had, ex cep one five in number and knock ed the horn off the only one left. So it must have been a miraculous es cape for her. That is a big thing, the way cows sell these times. Saturday Wilton, small son of Mr. and Mrs. I. V. Britt, wa3 cut very painfully with an axe which was in the hands of another child. The wound is not very serious. The school is coming on fine. Rev. M. A. Stephens, our popular pastor, will fill his regular appoint ment Saturday and Sunday next.

A Good Play Rendered Under Trying Circumstances A Cold, Cold Time. "The Fyosary" was presented at the opera house Friday evening . under circumstances most trying to actors and audience. If there was a spot in the house that was not icy cold it was inside of a couple of tiny stoves with which the owners of the opera house were experimenting. These stoves did their possible, no doubt, but they were up against a task impossible for them; for heat ing that place is a job for several full grown stoves and these Jittle stoves are built for lesser tasks. Oh, but it was cold! Br-r-r-!! It is a wonder the actors did not flatly refuse to go ahead with the play, but as they did not it is a lot to say for them and the play that the audience stayed it out. What that bunch of players do under favor able circumstances is merely coniect ure with this reporter, but he knows that here they certainly put it across in great shape when they were bound to have been chilled to the bone; and that they were game to stick it through is all to their credit. Yes, it was a good play. The first act was disappointing, mainly be cause, peihaps, the actors had not gotten over the first shock of bracing the cold, but after that they froze to their work which is the same as say ing they "warmed"to it, only it would be ridiculous to speak of any one warming' to anything there and then and it was all right. It is most unfortunate that the opera house was so cold on this oc casion, for those actors will never for get or cease to "cuss" Lumberton's opera house till their latest breath they'll tell their children's children about one cold night in Lumberton in December; and, worse luck, they'll make other good companies shy about coming here but one cold snap does not make a winter and the very fact that the house was so cold Friday night makes it all the more probable that it will be warm and comfortable when the next play comes to town. At any rate it is to be hoped so. Marietta High School Entertainment. At Marietta high school Prof. W. Tom Jenrette, principal; Miss I. Mc Nair Wicker, primary; Miss Pansy V.

Invalid Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Townsend of Lumberton Passed Away Suddenly Saturday Night Funeral This Morning A Brilliant Young Lady Who Had Been, a Sufferer for Years. Miss Clare Townsend died Satur day evening about 9:30 o'clock at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Townsend, Ninth nnd Elm streets. She had practically been an invalid for about nine years, though death was sudden and came as a great shock. For the greater part of the 9 years that she had been a suf ferer, she was able to be up, going in and about the house as she pleased, though she was never well. Her con dition was thought to have been bet ter than usual Friday and Saturday. Her desire for food was better and Saturday she ate three hearty meals, eating a quail for breakfast and an other for dinner. She cleaned up her own room Saturday morning and had thrown a little coal on the fire only a short time before she died. She was sitting in a chair when she died and was talking to her sister, Miss Vivian Townsend, when she dropped her head in her hands and seemed; to be threatened with a nervous spell. which she often had; then she threw Townsend and her nurse, who had only a few minutes befor stepped out of the room, ran in and called a physician, and Dr. T. C. Johnson, the family physician, was there in less than ten minutes after the call, but it was too late. The funeral was conducted from the home this morning at 11 o'clock by Rev. J. W. Bradley, pastor of Chestnut Street Methodist church. Interment was made in Meadow brook cemetery. The pall bearers were: Messrs. J. Dixon McLean, John D. McMillan, Howard Morrison, IMwood Whaley, l.d G. ha nek e and C? TT" rCl.I 11 S. F. Caldwell As a mark of respect for the fam ily, work at the graded school was suspended during the funeral.' Mr. Townsend is a member of the board of trustees. The funeral was attend ed by a large crowd and the floral tributes were numerous and beauti ful. Among the many from out of town who attended the funeral were Miss M. J. Lobby of Charlotte, who was Miss Townsend's nurse while in the Presbyterian hospital at Charlotte some years ago; Dr. J. R. Rogers of Dillon, S. C, and Mrs. S. C. McMil lan and Miss Julia Rogers, of Latta, S. C. Miss Townsend was affected with some nerve disorder, which semed to have been unknown to medical science. During her illness she was treated by several specialists and was all the time under the treatment of some physician; and for the great er part of all the years that she had been a sufferer was under the care of a trained nurse. While at college she wrenched her back in trying to raise a window, and though at the time she was not thought to be seriously hurt, she was never well afterwards, having to come home shortly after the accident on account of her health. A month or so later she re-entered college, but was able to stay only about four or five weeks; and about a year from this time she underwent an operation for appendicitis, which was successful, but didn't relieve the nerve trouble. Intellectually Miss Townsend was unusually bright. She entered Eliza beth College, Charlotte, when she was but thirteen years old, entering the sophomore class. She left col lege in January of 1904, when she would have graduated in June. Her record as a student was excellent. She was especially gifted in art and in her room are several beautiful paint ings that she did. She was also tal ented in music, the violin being her favored instrument. Deceased is survived by her par ents and two sisters Mrs. O. C. Spaulding of Maxton and Miss Vivian. Tar Heel Topics. Correspondence of The Robesonian Tar Heel, Dec. 15. Prof. A.

To the Editor of The Robesonian: As an officer of the Industral and Commercial Club of Lumberton, I fee! called upon to say something of a paragreph in "Happenings from Lum berton," in yetserday's Wilmington Star. We have noticed how this col umn contains, weekly, knocks on the town, two of which appear in this is sue. This writer u one. of the best friend) the editor cf this- column has and males these statements, not that ho loves the editor less but that he loves his town more. The paragraph is thi.i: "Major Howell, of the corps of en gineers, addressed a meeting of cit izens here Thursday on the question of the Government improving Lumber river. None living here now will see that job completed. The Panama Canal wil be a small affair compared with making Lumber river a navigable stream. The first boat from George town we hear is to be called the 'Hardy Bell.' Wait for the whistle to blow before you start down to see the boat corning in." Now, do you think that if fiftv or more of the best citizens of the town woi.ld have their places of business at 11 o'clock in the day on a busy fall day and attend a meeting in the inte.re.st of this project after a bill has been passed by our representa tives appropriating $5,000 for the in vestigation and an officer from the government sent from Washington, do you think this is a matter to be hooted at in the columns of a State paper by one of our very own cit izens ? Major Howell, after making his in vestigation and after the river had been surveyed from Lumberton to Georgetown by the Government, made the statement to this writer that Lumber river was clearly a nav igable stream, not suitable of course for battleships and ocean liners but for boats of ample size to supply our demands. Now we think, whether Lumber river is ever made navigable or not, or whether the town ever gets the industries for which the Industrial Club and the good citizens of our town are striving, that it behooves the citizen, if they can't boost don't knock, but like the ancient bear story, if you can't help the hunt er, for goodness sake, "lay low" and don't help the hear. We certainly hope the major, who is to report the project to the Gov ernment, did not see Sunday's Star. WOODBERRY LENNON, Secy, and Trea-. I. & C. C. More Bibles Ordered.
