I C O M M E M T 1 THE POINT OF VIEW. Thus the Monroe Enquirer:' "The following plaintive story is from the Lumberton Robesonian: "A young man who lived in the country, on a farm, up until two or three years apro, Since which time he has been holding down an office job in town, remarked the other day that he used to think that town people didn't have anything in the world to do but hang around, stay dess?d up and have a pood time. But he says he has changed his mind and that he has learned a lot since then. This younp man now often prows weary of office work, weary in a weariness which he never knew 'down on the farm,' and sometimes he pazes wistfully out of his office window and thinks how free and easy life was on the farm com pared to the ceaseless toil of the dweller in towns.' "'Well, what's the matter. If the younp man holdinp down an office job is so "weariedly tired" of his job and of city life in a small town, why don't he do like the country boy who pets tired of his job, quit it and go to another one? That boy who complains of beinp tired of his city job can never turn his face so that he will not be facing in the direction of the country he lonps for some where out in that beloved country is a hoe, a plow and a faithful old mule to welcome his coming. But he will not go back there, not a bit of it, but will continue to furnish copy for the papers about how irksome town life is and how pleasant it is in the coun try. Bud, if town life is so tough, get back to the tall timber and quit shooting off your mouth about it." That's all right, too, but the point is that the young man from the coun try learns that it isn't all ice-cream and cake and a shady place and fresh laundered linen and clean hands and light jobs in town; and by the same token the town man who rushes off to the farm under the fond delusion that it is all free and easy work-when -you-f eel-like in the country h?s got a rude awakening coming to him. Editor Convicted of Libel. W. O. Saunders, editor of The In dependent and The Down Homer, two publications at Elizabeth City, was convicted of criminal libel the other day, and was sentenced by Judge R. D. Turner to six months on the county chaingang. The defendant's attorneys served notice of appeal and bail was eiven for Mr. Saunders' ap pearance at the September term of Superior Court, when the case will be tried again. The trial is the result of an article that was published in The Independ ent several weeks ago making state ments concerning E. F. Aydlett which Mr. Aydlett alleges are libelous and defamatory. He made demands upon The Independent to retract these statements. Mr. Saunders refused to Hn Ert anA nhalIpnoAfl Mr Avrllotf in - have him arrested Friday Mr Aydlett swore out a war rant against Mr. Saunders, charging him with criminal libel and it was served by Chief of Police Thomas. Mr. Aydlett was the only witness that ap peared in the trial. He was on the stand for several hours. Attorney H. S. Ward and ex-Judge J. B. Leigh prosecuted for the State and attor neys I. M. Meekins and W. L. Cohon defended Mr. Saunders. California's Alien Land Bill Becomes Law. Sacramento, Cal., Dispatch, 19th. California's alien land bill became the law of the State today. Against protests of Japan and representations of President Wilson and his personal envoy, Secretary of State Bryan, Gov ernor Johnson signed the bill and 90 days after the adjournment of the Legislature, or on August 10 the act becomes operative. While the Governor was signing he bill the steamship Korea was pass ing in through the Golden Gate bear ing two distinpuished Japanese, one a former pupil of President Wilson's on a mission of investigation. Meanwhile complications, National and sectional, beset the bill. Over shadowing all is the outcome of the negotiations now jn progress between this country and Japan, which has interpreted the act as discrimnatory and offensive. Were half the power that nils the world with terror, Were half the wealth bestjwed on camps and courts, Given to redeem the human min i from error, There were no need of arsenal or forts. -Longfellow. The power of the mind to decom pose its conceptions, and to rerombine the elements of them at its pleasure, is called the faculty of imagination. Taylor. CLAX M'Qt'EEN ASSOCIATION Meeting to Effect Permanent Organi zation to be Held in Maxton June 4 Organization Gotten up by De scendants of Col. James McQueen Homes and Free Entertainment Will be Provided for Visiting Clans men from a Distance A Memor able Occasion on Which All Clans men will W ant to be Present. Mention has been made in The Robe sonian of a meeting of the Clan Mac Queen Association which will be held in Maxton June 4. The following let ter which is being sent to Clansmen All Over, and program fully explain all the details of what promises to be a memorable occasion. Dear Clansmen: You and your family are cordially invited and most earnestly .urged to attend a meeting at Maxton, North Carolina, on Wed nesday, June 4, 1913, at 10 a. m., for the purpose of effecting a permanent organization of the Clan McQueen Association, and for the purpose of becoming mutually acquainted with one another. A reception will be given the visit ing Clansmen by the local members of the Cland and friends in and near Maxton, on Tuesday night, June 3, and all the Clansmen from a distsinca as well as all others, who can come from their homes by private convey ance are invited to this reception. Upon the arrival Tuesday morning, June 3, of Clansmen from a distance, homes will be assigned and free en tertainment will be provided for. Af ter dinner on Tuesday, an automobile ride will be given visiting clansmen, and an opportunity given to see Queensdale and the old Stewartsville cemetery. On Wednesday morning, June 4, at ten o'clock, the first meeting will be held and a permanent organization effected, at which time several ad dresses will be made and some music will be rendered, after which dinner will be served, furnished by the clans men at Maxton and vicinity, and oth ers who may be near enough to help in this part of the entertainment; and while dinner is being served an ex cellent opportunity will be afforded for becoming acquainted. After din ner another brief session will be held, farewells will be said, and the Clan will disperse. You and your family are most cor dially invited and expected to attend and assist in making this initial meet and assit in making this initial meet ing a great success; one worthy of the splendid record of our distin guished ancestors in whose honorable and ancient name our clan is to meet, and it is evident that to secure this sucess your presence and co-opera tion are both neces.sary. The members of Mi.,- Clan at Max ton and vicinity and nlher friends have most cordially invited us to meet with them, and they will spare ro pains to make the evasion a great one to all who will att-?"d, and a good time, with a most cordial SCOTCH welcome is assure l you. Their hos pitality is proverbial and you will miss the time of your ,ife if you fail to attend. Homes and free entertainment will be provided all Clansmen who come from a" distance, and who cannot come by private conveyance from their own homes. There will also be ample room for all these, inasmuch as there are several hundred mem bers of the Clan living nearby. It would, of course, be impossible to find lodging places for all of these, but there need be no fear but that plenty of homes and the most royal welcome will be extended to everyone. There is no limitation to the hospitality of the Maxton Clansmen, and they only regret that there is a limitation to their lodging rooms; otherwise, every member, near as well as far, would be invited not only to come and eat with them and commune with one an other, but lodge there as well.

Strong, vigorous men and women, hardly ever catch cold; it's only when the system is run down and vitality low that colds and coughs get a foot hold. Now Isn't it reasonable that the right way to cure a cough is to build up your strength again? Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Dur ham, N. C, says: "I took Vlnol for a chronic cough which had lasted two years, and the cough not only disap peared, but it built up my strength as well." The reason Vlnol is so efficacious la such cases is because it contains in a delicious concentrated form all tho medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil, with tonic, blood-building Iron added. Chronic coughs and colds yield to Vlnol because it builds up the weak ened, run-down system. You can get your money back any time if Vinol does not do all we say, lr. J. D.
