THE SEMI-WEEKLY KOBESOMAN AN INTERESTING TRIP. A Visit to Brunswick County and Some Interesting Things Observed- The ''Live at Home Plan" Children's Day Soon. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Mt. Eliam (Orrum, R. 1.), May 26 Without a doubt that was an. in teresting trip we made last week. It was Friday a. m. that we in company with Rev. Paul T. Pritt and Mr. D. F. Parker boarded the A. C. L. train at Orrum and went via Chadbourn and Bolton to Makatoka, in Brunswick county. Then we went by the pow er of nature till we were on the coast of the briny deep. Eighteen miles f the trip was made in an "old field pullman" drawn by a tram engine, and while going the eighteen miles we never saw a single house er an acre of cleared land; but knowing that there was something to be seen fur ther on we continued our journey in good faith, seeing many curiosities to us. The way many of the resi- and praying in public and would do so in the future, sixteen young men stood up and said they would, which was a beautiful, touching scene. Don't think we are going to forget to men tion fact that there's more girls than boys down there, and that alone would make us like the place mighty well. Monday night found us back on the "Mount" realizing that though it was the best place in the world we like to be Down on the coast, Where pride don't reign, But all's looked on As being the same. Miss Mittie Clemmons of White ville is spending some time on the "Mount," the guest of Mrs. P. T. Britt. Mrs. Mary R. Anderson, who has been very ill for some time past, is DAVIS TAXED $10. Supt. of Anti-Saloon League On Charge of Assault With Bottle in Defending Blind Tiger Detective. Raleigh News and Observer, May 31. Rev. R. L. Davis, superintendent of the North Carolina Anti-Saloon League, was fined $10 and costs upon the charge of assaulting Wiley P. Straughan May 10, and Mr. Straugh an was fined $20 and costs for as saulting Bertram Green, a blind ti ger detective. Mr. Davis appealed. This was the result of the trial of Messrs. Davis and Straughan yester day before a big crowd in the police court, Justice W. C. Harris presiding. Mr. Harris believed that the evidence of seven or eight witnesses against Mr. Davis, all of whom swore that Mr. Davis attacked Mr. Straughan with a whiskey bottle or that he expected to leave tomorrow for Char-, struck him with some kind of glitter lotte, where she will enter a hos- ing instrument.

The immense tention. Then the way they farm. The principal crops are potatoes and peanuts. They plant the potatoes and don't bed them and transplant as we do, and the way they raise them is a caution. Believe "Jack," they have got Robeson on the peanut ques tion, for I am sure we cannot raise them ready parched. Different from what we expected, we found the peo ple the most hospitable, kind and genial of any we have yet struck. It was while here we had the eat of our lives clams, oysters, sheep, goat, beef, ham (and it cooked so it fits) and well, just what one could wish for in the eat line was there. Did we say we found the people the most kind of any we have yet run across? Yes, and we mean it. The thing that impressed us most was the way they go to church. In a place where you can go four and five miles and not aee a house they have a Sunday school "with an average attendance of over one iurdred. If our folks, as thick settled as we are, would take pride in the church and Sunday school work as those people do we would have to tear away all the old and build new churches. We never heard an oath Twhile down there, and never saw a cigarette, which speaks well for a community. We attended preaching Friday night and Saturday and were in five services Sunday. Sunday night we kelped to organize a young man's prayer meeting at Mt. Pisgah, and "when a chance was given for all that had not "been in the habit of reading Arrangements are being made for children's day.

Hitched together as a team they could pull a load bigger than themselves. It is the same way with men. Pulling against each other tbej get nowhere. Pulling together they accomplish wonders The only way to make a town advance is BY TEAM WCXtK. The last census snows that many American cities and villages advanced' marvelously, others almost stood stilt, while others actually went backward. It Is a 10 to 1 bet that in the growing towns you will flnd a UNITED CIVIC SPIRIT. They support a board of trade, a cuinuierelal club or some other form of organized boosting. It Is jiiftt as certain that In the towns standing still or going backward will be found factionalism and bickering the citizens pulling in different di rections.
