Mt Eliam, (Orrum, R. 1.), July 28 Last week we were the sickest ever in our memory and failed to get to Fairmont as we had anticipated. How ever we Jiope to be on the job this week, so if you want to pay your subscription or subscribe for The Robesonian, see us. I don't see how a man can possibly do without his county paper. Once a man tries it he finds it a hard task to do without it. One of our old subscribers, who for some reason had been cut off, went to us yesterday and told us- to please send it back for he couldn't afford to miss another paper, so it seemed, that he didn't learn anything, was just ig norant as to what his county was doing; and most every day they tell us about it in the selfsame way. The telephone lines on the mount are down and have been for some time, long enough to do some dam age already, with a good chance of doing more, if not put up, Mr. J. Z. Stone's mule clashed under the wire recently and ruined entirely a right brand new top buggy, tearing the top and back all off, and throw ing Mr. Stone and his daughter out, hfe daughter being hurt to some ex tent. The Boardman road was entire ly blockaded with wire, and that road is traveled by our mail carrier, until some guess we'd better say "gentle man" cut the wires in two. Our much-loved pastor, Rev. M. A, Stephens, has been very sick at the home of his son near Saddle Tree. He went up there to hold a meeting of days at that church, but was taken sick, and had to send for Rev. Paul T. Britt to go and do the preaching for him. Rev. J. I. Stone, Jr. filled his appointment here Saturday and Sunday. You can tell a tobacco farmer any where anytime. He has a different smile from the one who didn't plant any weed. we nave oeen requested to say through The Robesonian that the children's day evercises which were to have been held on the Broad Ridge next Sunday had been postponed un til the third Sunday in August at 3:30 p. m. The protracted meeting will begin at that church next Sun day. Tis said that a certain boy who lives somewhere was to have got what most all the boys want a wife on last Sunday, but for some rea son unknown to us he stayed in bed most all day Sunday, and no wedding was pulled off. That's what we call "lying" out of anything. Mr. H. F. Bissell, the melon king, has raked it in from the sale of nice canteloupes, the kind he raises. We landed all right the position of special agent to report the cotton census, but owing to other engage ments had to let it slip. We have waited a long time to say it, but right now we're going to say that the country folks have given Mayor White all manner of praise for his stand on July 4th. There are so many boys on the "Mount" that the parents find it hard to get names for them all. Can some body come to their rescue? It will never do to turn them loose not named. HAPPY JACK. SECRETARY BRYAN'S SALARY Bethesda News Batch. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Fairmont, R. F. D. 2, July 28 "Lay- ing-by" seems to be a thing of the past in these parts, while curing to bacco is drawing near to an end. We are glad to report Mrs. N. A. McLean convalescent. "Cutie," a correspondent of the Fair mont Messenger, reported some time ago about tying a hen to a post to stop her from setting. A hen in these parts while serving a term in the pen" tried to break out and flew up to the top of the pen and got her head hung in the crack and commit ted suicide by hanging herself. The rains are continuing every day and crops are on "boom," especially corn. A series of meetings will begin at this place Monday after the third Sunday in August. The residence of Mr. J. C. Barnes is nearing completion. Unsightly Face Spots. Are cured by Dr. Hobson's Eczema Ointment, which heals all skin erup tions. No matter how long you have been troubled by itching, burning or scaly skin humors, just put a little of that soothing antiseptic, Dr. Hobson's Eczema Ointment, on the sore and the suffering stops instantly. Healing begins that very minute. Doctors use it in their practice and recommend it. Mr. Alleman, .of Littletown, Pa., says: Had eczema on forehead; Dr. Hob son's Eczema Ointment cured it in two weeks." Guaranteed to relieve or-moaey-refunded.

Mr. Bryan's enemies and critics have "thrown" their customary fits at the news that the great Commoner cannot get along on his salary of $12, 000 a year. Yet, a glance at the figures paid his colleagues, the for eign ministers of other nations, shows that his official emoluments are not such as to excite either envy, hatred, malice. Thus the British . Foreign Secretary is paid $25,000 a year; and if this office happens to be combined with that of Prime Minister, the in cumbent also occupies free of charge the well-known Downing street house. Germany gives her Foreign Secre tary $9,000 a year in salary ,plus $3,' 500 for expenses, making a total sum of $12,500, and the recipent also gets his residence free. Austria-Hungary pays in salary and official expenses about $18,000, according to recent budget figures. Smaller countries like Low Countries, of course, pay lesser stipends. The Belgium For eign Secretary's salary, for instance, is about $4,000. Still in this connec tion it is interesting to note that the sum which the Belgian Government deems sufficient to support its minis ter in Washington amounts to $13,- 000, which is $1,000 more than Mr, Bryan gets yet surely Mr. Bryan is the more important personage. Some will urge that all the above countries are monarchies, and that republican officials, regardless of the relative importance of their countries, should cost less money. Republican France, however, pays her Foreign Minister $12,000 a year , and also maintains him free of charge, the splendid palace of the Quai d'Orsay. In the Western Hemisphere, Dr. Lau ro Muller receives an official stipend about the same in amount as that paid Mr. Bryan. And Chile pays less than Brazil. On the other hand Ar gentina gives her Foreign Minister $12,000 a year salary and $5,000 more for "etiquette expenses." From the foreign standpoint, there fore, it appears that Mr. Bryan's job is not exceptionally remunerative, es pecially when we consider the very much lower cost of living which pre vails in Europe. The salary is suffi cient in itself, but we pay no atten tion to those inevitable expenses in cident to the important position in the world which the American Secre tary of State holds. Of course, Uncle Sam is an awfully poor man just at this moment. But if the crops are good next fall and Congress, in the meantime, doesn't go and pad the pension list by $10,000,000 to $50, 000,000 more, we don't see why Wil liam J. isn't shortly due for a "raise." A better course still, however, would be to leave his salary at its present figure and give and keep up for him and his successors an official resi dence worthy of the importance of his office.

The only drawback that the re corder's court and the rural police have in this, section is the large terri tory allotted to the police. We speak especially of the Rowland section. The rural police here has an entirely too large a territory and cannot be gin to cove it, work as hard as he can. Another policeman is needed in the vicinity of Fairmont. George Carroll Todd of Virginia was nominated by President Wilson Friday to be assistant to Attorney General McReynolds, and "trust bus ter" of the Administration, to succeed James A. Fowler of Knoxville, Tenn., who will retire August 1. Mr. Todd, now a special assistant to the Attor ney General, entered the Department of JusticeT30 years ago and was asso ciated with William A.
