THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN THE ROBESONIAN Published HON DAYS AND THURSDAYS By ROBESONIAN PUBLISHING CO J. A. SHAKPE President SUBSCRIPTION RATES 0e Year $1.50 Sat Months Three Months 40 MONDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1913. NEW REGISTRATION LAW Mr. J. Ed Tyson reminds The Robe sonian to call attention to t.iv- in law which went into effect October I last, requiring registration of births and deaths. Mr. Tyson is the registra tion officer under this law for Wish artfs township. The law requires that the report of every birth and death be made within ten days pf U .;.. rence to the registration oficer your township and ft penalty i? pro vlded for failure to do sO. The it gistration officer is not required to go oat after this information and the re muneration for his work 25 cents for each report is not enough to induce great activity in going out of his way for Information. o They are still speculating on -whether or not ex-Governor Glenn will enter the race against Senator Overman. Mr. Glenn has ' not passed out the word, though it is said that he has been sounding prominent Democrats as to what they would do should he enter the race. Tne thing that wor ries Mr. Glenn according to the Wash ington correspondent of the Char lotte Observer, is the absence of an is;sue. Given a burning issue it is thoutrht that Mr. Glenn would enter the race with vim. But in these pip ing times of peace a burning issue is hard to find. So Mr. Glenn finds it hard to decide whether to stick to the lecture platform, where he is making good and earning more than a Sena tor s salarv. accept a place on tne Inter-State Commerce Commission, which it is thought he could have, or enter the race. o The fool that is careless with a gun is now abroad in the land. Even last summer the boat-rocking fools seemed to be the victims of their own idiocy oftener than their innocent compan ions, so the way the record has start ed out it looks like careless hunters are going to kill more of themselves this year than of the other fellows. Which the same let us hope they will do. o In session last week at Lynchburg, the Virginia Teachers Association passed a resolution to set apart the birthday of Gen. Robt. E. Lee annual ly to consider the need of children in the schools. That is honoring his brithday in a way that the great Sonthern chieftain would approve does approve, one would better say, as he no doubt knows. o . Consider the Spugs. That is the rather undressed and raw-looking word that stands for the Society for the Prevention of Useless Giving. Noth ing wrong with that. What a great Christmas it will be when everybody cats out useless gifts and becomes im bued with the proper Christmas spirit. o The Outlook refers to "Winston-Salem, South Carolina." Shocking. Won der what Winston-Salem is going to do about it. o High-priced as eggs are, a more welcome sound than the cacklinp of a hen over a new miracle would be a sure-enough ho-ho-hotel. o .

Sold by all Druggists. 73c a Judge Carter says that the Ashe ville retailers are men of such social .-tanding and wealth," their holdings representing a million dollars, that no judge in the State would have the tcmeritv to sentence them to the roads. And yet the gu'lt of the weal thy "blind tigsr," is as much greate than the guilt of the ignorant poor "tiger" as the difference in their so cial f-tanding and wealth. If those wealthy high rollers who are charged wih retailing are guilty they will es cape with smaller punishment, than would be given to a half starving waif caught stealing bread to stay his hun ger. Contemplating which is calcu lated wonderfully to increase, one's respect for the law and the way it is admiristered. o Fayetteville has waked to the ad vantages of offering a market for tobacco and encouraging the raiting of tobacco. Lumberton is going to be among the tobacco markets next year, too. Nothing definite has been done yet, but some of the wide-awake business men of the town are deter mined to havea warehouse hero be fore the next tobacco season and buy ers, ancj they will. And that will help that much Jn breaking up the one , crop nabit, Nearly every Robeson county farmer could raise some to bacco without reducing much his cot ton acreage.

The hearings on the petition of the Virginia cities against putting into effect the new freight rates in North Carolina will begin at Greensboro De cember 16. Chairman Clark of the Inter-State commerce Commission, will conduct the hearings. All con ferences will be heard at the gate city and every phase of the freight con troversy in North Carolina will be gone into. In the opinion of J. C Forester, of Greensboro, North Caro lina will be given even a better rate than now proposed by the agreement entered into between the railroads and the commission representing the Stat. "I am confident that as a result of the hearings, which will go into the question of all long and short haul rates from the West to North Caro lina, will result in even a better rate than is now proposed," said Mr. For ester at the Raleigh tonight. "Fur thermore, I am confident that many North Carolina jobbers will discon tinue trading with Richmond and oth er cities who are endeavoring to block the efforts of the Tar Heels to get an equitable freight rate. Mr. Forester was accompanied to the Inter-State Commerce Commission by F. N. Tate, of High Point. Mr. Tate, too, be lieves that the State will come out on top. Thanksgiving Day Football Games.

Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S The Mind Expands As Health Returns Quick Improvement is Noticeable When Proper Aid to Nutrition is Given. A low state of the general health is now the accepted cause of backward ness in children. So in the case of a backward child it is best to look to word building up its health. It will usually be found that the main trou ble is in the food, in lack of assimila tion and digestion. Hence care should be taken in the kind of food given to the child. This, with plenty of air and exercise, should bring about a change for the better. Watch the condition of the bowels, to note whether the waste is being passed off or not, or whether it is being passed too freely. If either con dition prevails give a small dose of that gentlest of all laxative-tonics, Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Thous ands of mothers will testify to the wonders it has wrought in the lives of their own children, and for that reason legions of famililies like those of Mrs. Daisy McBroom, Hillsboro, Ind., are never without it in the house. She is the mother of Lucile and has been using Dr. Caldwell's SvruD Pen- sin for Lucile since she was two. Mrs. McBroom says it has saved Lucile's. life. It is the standard family medi cine in the McBroom Home. It is pleasant to the taste and 'so perfectly safe that it is eiven to in fants, and yet is equally effective for grown people.

FLEMING, Pastor. 1 No Limit to Possibilities of Wireless Telegraphy and Telephony. Baltimore Sun. We had begun to think that the wireless system had about exhausted its powers, but when it can whisper its messages into the ears of a train go ing 60 miles an hour, and Australia can call good evening to Ontario, we feel that there is almost no limit to its possibilities and those of wireless telephony. Your friend in China may soon be as close to you for conversa tional purposes as if he were in the next room, and the human voice, like the shot of revolutionary fame, may go echoing around the whole world. Wjll we stop with our own planet? Who knows? Human invention seems more than equal to natural ob stacles. Perhaps in time we may Bend a message to Mars bv wireless and find out about those canals and leanj from the stars some of the secrets of the ages. Daniels Requests $145,000,000 For Navy. Washington Dispatch, 27th. Navy estimates Secretary Daniels has sent to the House appropriations committee ask $145,000,000 for the na val establishment during the next fis cal year. His estimate is $5,000,000 below last year and yet proposes the building of two battleships at $15,000,000 each; eight torpedo boat destroyers and three submarines. Many details of the estimates are along the lines of the last naval appropriation bill. The House naval affairs committee con tains large navy and small navy advo cates. A one-battleship program was successful last session. But One Man in Mind. I Charity and Children. hTere are no candidates for the presidency of the convention. There is no need to be for the brotherhood ha3 but one man in mind for this exalted place and that is the pastor at Lum- berton fp m k) h LUCILE McBROOM. and the price is only fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, the latter for fam ilies who need it regularly. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has no equal as a cure for constipation, indi gestion, biliousness, headaches, sour stomach, gas op the stomach, liver trouble and kindred complaints. It has so many advantages that those who once use it forever after discard cathartics, salts, pills and other coarse remedies, for they are seldom advisa ble and should never be given to chil dren. Families wishing to try a free sample bottle can obtain it postpaid by addressing Dr-. W. B. Caldwell, 419 Washington St., Monticello, 111. A postal card with your name and ad dress on it will do.
