Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Parkten, Sept. 19 Mr. J. B. McCor.
mick and Mr. D. C. Culbreth have at
tended court in Fayetteville well nigh
every day this week.
Mrs. Maggie Small and daughter
Mrs. White of Fayetteville, came down
yesterday evening and are visiting
Mrs Small's sister, Mrs. Annie Hay
wood. Mr. S. M. Davis and son Malloy,
left for their home in Gainesville, Fla.,
also Mrs. J. P. McMillan left for her
home in Lake Joe, Fla. Mrs. McMil
lan spent the summer visiting rela
tives in Robeson, Cumberland and
Sampson counties.
The following have left for school
since our last letter: John D. McCor
mick, Davidson College; Prentiss
Stanton, A. and M., Raleigh; Miss
Roena Odom, Carolina College, Max

and her sister, Miss Henrietta the
State Normal, Greensboro.
Miss Mary McMillan returned home
Saturday from an extended trip to
friends in Lincolnton.
Miss Effie McMillan has accepted a
position to teach at Liberty.
Rev. E. L. Stack left Monday morn
ing to be gone a couple of weeks hold
ing revival meetings in the Eastern
part of the State.
Miss Neal Roseman of Lincoltori
arrived tonight to spend a few days
with friends here on her way to Lin
den, where she will teach school.
Mr. Heary Ammons is fast erecting
a nice cottage in the southern part of
town.
Miss Cora Gainy has tendered her
ressignation as music teacher at the
graded school. This is to the sorrow
of the school and community and a
damper on the school as we see it. It
is up to the board to straighten up
,the crooks and see if Miss Gainey
can't be prevailed on to remain, as
she is one of the best qualified teach
ers that ever taught in our town, and
highly recommended from former
schools where she has taught. There
are some things going, or existing
too shameful to make public. Work
the golden rule a while and see if the
crooks cannot be amended. I am
speaking to the board and not the
school. The school has started off
nicely, with the best faculty, that
could be obtained anywhere, and no
damper should ever be reported on
this school.
'The Parkton band gave a moonlight
serenade on Wednesday night in hon
or of the new school faculty which
was highly appreciated. The band
has received five or six cells this week,
mostly for auction sales. Also, they

Two of this pack, according to town

Dog muzzles must appear on the head
of each dog, or go to the Jpck-up, and
if the owner fails to come across
the dog must die. The question arises,
is this a just and honorable law? To
be decided later.
The cotton market picked up a little
this evening: plenty room. An agent
from Dillon, S. C, was in the mar
ket. We would not object if he stays
in our toown through the season.
Fall turnips should be sowed, if not

OLD PROVERB.
(From Bailey's Dictionary, 1766.)
If you trust before you try,
You may repent before you die.
Under this proverbial Distich is
couched a good Lesson of Caution
and Circumspection, not to choose a
Friend on a sudden, or make Persons
our Intimates, and repose a Confidence
in them by entrusting them with
our Secrets and private Concerns, be
fore we have experienced their integ
rity; it also cautions Persons against
too easy a Credulity in buying upon
the Credit of Persons unknown, with
out deliberately weighing in their
Mind whether the Things are equal

and pronounce it, if you can. On an
address it is usually written Llanfair
P. G., for short. Our authority says
that its meaning is to this effect: "St
Mary's Church by the white hazel pool
nearby the black whirlpool by St.
Teilo's Church near the red cave." No
wonder it takes a word of fifty-eight
letters to give all this information!

power.
Report, of Military Tribunal a Farce.
Washington Dispatch, 19th.
Senor Perez-Romero, brother-in-law
of the late President Madero, and con
fidential agent here of the Mexican
Constitutionalists, today characterized
as a "farce" the report of the mili
tary tribunal on the killing of Madero
and Suarez.
From independent channels and
from all the evidence that we nave
gathered," he said, i(we have learned
that Major Francisco Cardenas fre
quently has boasted in many' public
places that he killed Madero himself,
yet he was never taken into custody.
All our evidence shows that both
President Madero and Vice President
Suarez were assassinated in the Na
tional Palace before being taken to
thfe. penitentiary." t

Princess Sophia of ' Saxe-Weimar.
Eissenach, a beautiful young woman,
unusually popular, of sunny disposi
tion and much courted by the officers
with whom she often rode behind the
hounds of the Baden Court hunts,
committed suicide early this morning.
Her body with a bullet wound in the
temple, was found this morning in
her room in the palace of her father,
Prince William.
The death of the Princess was due
to a love affair. She was engaged to
Hans Von Bleichroeder, the elder son
of the senior member of one of the
most powerful banking houses in Ger
many. When the engagement was an.
nounced prematurely some months
ago, it was learned that the reigning
Grand Duke, Prince William Ernest,
strenously prohibited the union, unless
the Princess renounced all her titles
and dignities. This she refused to
do.
