SHARPE President SUBSCRIPTION RATES Dm Year I1-50 Pz Months 75 Wkx Months MONDAY, AUGUST 4, 1913. There is much virtue in music. It liath long been considered that it hath charms to sooth the savage breast, and now it is thought possible to lure mosquitoes to their death by musical . vibrations. The Robesonian learns from the Gastonia Gazette that Mr. G. G. Page, formerly principal of Harmony Heights Academy, near Maxton, has recently become editor of The Pro gress, a weekly newspaper published an Gastonia. o It will not do to tempt too far the special Providence which is supposed to protect drunkards, fools and babies. A drunken man who was doing reck less stunts on an excursion train the other day was knocked off the train by a bridge as he was hanging off the coach steps at arms length and instantly killed. o The Robesonian is genuinely glad that Rev. C. H. Durham is to remain in Lumberton. Members of other de nominations feel, as every member of his own congregation feel, that his work here is by no means done and that he could not be spared. A touch ing proof of the esteem and love in which he is held was given at the church last evening when he announc ed his decision, the congregation rising en masse and singing joyfully "Praise God From Whom All Bless ing Flow." No wonder it brought the tears to Mr. Durham's eyes. It was a tribute to make any man of real worth feel both proud and humble. o The Wilmington Star carried the following advertisement in its "want" columns the other day: "Adventure Am college man; speak Spanish; a good mechanic and engi neer (steam and gasoline); under stand modern arms and ammunition (Colt's 41); experienced in the hand ling of men; expert ocean navigator. Am willing to tackle anything fn the way of adventure which promises zest and excitemtent, but would prefer something having to do with the sea and pirates. Twenty years, more or less, in age and know how to take or ders." That young man is evidently tired of a quiet life. If he is really in earn est and is not afraid, he might get ac tion by running over into South Caro lina and trying to start something with Governor Blease; or, better still, he might join that dear Cip. Castro in Venezuela land. o The Robesonian is indebted to Rep resentative Godwin for a few copies of a very valuable bulletin recently gotten out by the United States De partment of Agriculture entitled "Fif ty Common Birds of Farm and Or chard." This bulletin is intended to serve the very practical purpose of enabling farmers and their boys and girls to identify the birds that fre quent the farm and orchard. "Ento mologists," quoting from the introduc tion to the bulletin, "have estimated that insects yearly cause a loss of upwards of $700,000,000 to the agricultural interests of the United States. Were it not for our birds the loss would be very much greater, and indeed it is believed that without the aid of our feathered friends successful agriculture would be impossible. A knowledge of the birds that protect his crops is, therefore, as important to the farmer as a knowledge of the in sect pests that destroy them." This bulletin is beautifully illustrated and contains much interesting and useful information,. The Robesonian has four copies that it will be glad to givejojhe first of its friends who may call for it, and any others who want it may obtain a. copy by writing a card to Mr. Godwin, who advises The Robesonian that he will no doubt au-loplxLaUffianJs4pjJt. . o Subscribe for The Robesonian. $1,000,000 FOR ROADS. Robeson county ought to be especial ly interested in the proposition upon which the people of Wake county will vote on the 12th of this month a bond issue of $1,000,000 for roads. Robeson some day in the not-distant future will, it is to be hoped, tackle a similar proposition. In regard to this propos ed bond issue the Charlotte Chronicle says: "Down in Wake county on August 12 they are going to vote on a bond is sue of $1,000,000 for the construction of a complete and modern system of highways in that county. Such a sum would give Wake county a completer and more thoroughly adequate system of good roads than any county in the Carolinas can now boast of probably, although Mecklenburg has spent more than twice that sum in the construc tion of roads. They have worked out a most attractive proposition in Wake. The bonds are to mature in 40 years and it is estimated that the present road tax of $85,000 will pay the in terest and create a sinking fund suffi cient to retire the issue and leave $28, 000 a year for the repair and main tenance of the roads. This latter sum will naturally increase, and very rap idly too, after these roads are down, so that no trouble is anticipated in keep ing the roads in good shape. The majority of the votes cast in the elec tion will determine the issue, there being no vote against the registra tion. Both The Raleigh News and Observer and The Raleigh Times are strongly advocating this progressive move and from this distance it ap pears that the issue will carry. We sincerely trust that it will, both for Wake county and the rest of the State." THE ADVERTISER. It is always safer to trade with the man who advertises. The merchant who does not advertise has to pay, in the long run, for the advertising that his more progressive competitor does. The Yorkville Enquirer hits off the man who advertises about fight in the following: "The man who advertises is fear less. He courts the light. He dares all and sundry to put him to the test. "Thlis is What I offer," he says in effect. "Can you beat it? Can you do better elsewhere? Make com parisons and then do business with me only if you find it is to your ad vantage." There is nothing hidden about the advertiser. He stands up for himself, for his goods, for his rep utation, for his town. He wants every body to know him. To know his meth ods of business and his manner of treating customers. This makes it safe to do business with him. Having spent much money making his name known, he cannot afford to have it tarnished, and he will go much more than halfway in an effort to correct a misunderstanding that is not of his making. He wants to tell more than the bare truth, to do more than what is really square. Deal with adver tisers for a square deal." o ADD ROBESON. The sweeping campaign against all the fees of good health in North Caro lina in ' recent years have sprouted forth in a variety of forms. Among the newly developed agencies is the individual county employing the undi vided services ofa physician to guard the health and welfare of its people, and seven counties in the State have thus far been classified. They are Qui! ford, Durham, Richmond, New Hanover, Sampson, Rockingham and Johnson. News and Observer. Add Robeson to the list. This coun ty was one of the first three counties in the State to employ a superinten dent of health to devote hi3 entire time to the work. For more than two years Dr. B. W. Page has been on the job, and no county in the State can boast of a more efficient superinten dent of health. -o Representative Godwin introduced the other day a bill providing for a $75,000 postoffice for Dunn with the provision that $10,000 additional be appropriated for a site. Which re minds us that Lumberton's progress ive citizens might do well to put up to Mr. Godwin the need of this town for a decent postoffice building. Ten thous and dollars have been made available for a site but no appropriation has been made for a building. o It is estimated that the monetary damage done by the terrible storm which swept Washington last Wed nesday will exceed 11,000,000. It will be years before the beautiful parks of the city will be restored to their original bauty.

Secretary of Treasury Relieves fi nancial Stringency Administration on Side of People. Raleigh News and Observer. On yesterday the Rermlvi; of the United States gave enphatic assur-an-e that it is on the eifle of the reo pie and against the men of Wall street who like beasts of prey pian the mang of fall'ng upon their fellows and devouring the'r h'iet earnings Mr. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treas ury, relieved the financial stringency with a word in the announcement that he would deposit from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000 of money in the banks of the South and West to move the crops. This breaks down the corner in mon ey that the powers of Wall Street had created. There will be no panic now. "The jig is up;" the scheme has fallen down. For six months now the menace of a money panic has been held over the heads of the people of the United States. Certain "interests" were greatly offended when Woodrow Wil son was elected to the Presidency. They had enjoyed the protection of a graft-ridden tariff and the favors of an interest-bound political party so long that they conceived that the Re public of the United States existed for them. They determined to ruin Wil son's administration; and they pro ceeded to tie up the money of the country. How effectually they have paralyzed circulation is known only to those who have applied for loans since March. The banks have prac tically ceased to lend money; and re cently the inability to obtain money brought about a grave condition. How to move the crops now about to be harvested was the uppermost ques tion of the hour. All the while New York bank bal ances showed that there was plenty of money in the country most of them showed cash on hand equal to from thirty to forty per cent of de posits. Call money (money used largely in stock-gamling) was easy; but commercial loans were practically prohibited. The plot to make a squeeze; depress prices of stocks and of crops and of stocks; to buy low and later to sell high, meanwhile in juring the Wilson administration in the eyes of the people, was complete. But "the jig is up;" Secretary Mc Adoo has turned the flood-gates of the United States Treasury loose he is sending it not to New York, where it would be promptly locked in vaults, but to the South and West, where the farmers of our country will get the benefit of it. -This is the first fruits of an Ad ministration pledged to serve the people of America rather than the interests; not only so, it is the first token that in the battle of those in terests with the Administration the Administration has the courage and the resource to win. Secretary McAdoo has his eyes wide open and he has them upon Wall street, for he knows where to look for the trouble-makers. For the third time he has shown that he has mat ters well in hand, and that he knows how to meet conditions as they arise. At the first whisper of a manufactur ed panic he gave notice of $500,000, 000 of United States reserve money ready to meet it; when the influences and the interests attacked the Govern ment's two's and forced them donw he called their hand; and now as the greatest of all his practical handling of these matters he places ready from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000 to provide for the moving of the crop. Indeed "the jig is up" for the panic-makers, for they have met their match in Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and the Wilson Administration. There Is more Catarrh In this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to bo Incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced It a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure tvith local treatment, pronounced It Incurable. Sci ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti tutional di3ease. and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, -Ohio, Is the only Constitu tional cure on the market. It Is taken In ternally la doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful.

This Proverb teaches, that every one will not make a Gentleman, that is vulgularly called so, now-adays. There is more than the bare Name re quired to the making him what he ought to be by Birth, Honour, and Merit: For, let a Man get never so much Money to buy an Estate, he cannot purchase one grain of Gentil ity with, it; but will remain Jack in the Proverb still, without Learning, Virtue and Wisdom, to enrich Facul ties of his Mind, to enhance the Clory of his Wealth, to ennoble his Blood; for, put him into what Circumstance you please, he will discover himself one time or other, in Point of Behav iour, to be of a mean Extract, awk ward, ungenteel and ungenerous, a Gentleman at Second hand only, or a vain-glorious Upstart. Oh! never wear a brow of care, or frown with rueful gravity, For wit's the child of wisdom, and good humor is the twin; No need to play' the Pharisee, or groan at man's depravity, Let one man be a good man, and let all be fair within. Speak sober truths with smiling lips; the bitter wrap in sweetness Sound sense in seeming nonsense, as the grain is hid in chaff; And fear not that the lesson e'er may seem to lack completeness A man may say a wise thing, though he say it with a laugh. The coward never on himself relies, But to an equal for assistance flies. Crabbe. The shadows of our own desires stand between us and our better an gels, and thus their brightness is eclipsed.

Harris, of the firm of Robt Harris and Brother, tobacco manufacturers of Reidsville, filed a statement yesterday before Re feree G. S. Ferguson. The paper was submitted at a hearing of the cred itors of the company yesterday morn ing. It states "that Robert Harris and Brother have lost the accumulations of a life in their effort during the past years to sustain and keep alive the only remaining independent brand of tobacco of importance which was 'man ufactured and sold in competition with the great tobacco trust. That in this death grapple with the trust, contend ing with its policy against the inde pendent manufacturers to 'buy those that they could not butcher,' and to 'butcher those that they could not buy,' the firm of Robert Harris and Brother fell as a last victim to its ra pacious methods."
