Maxton Scottish Chief. We were pleased to meet in Maxton last Wednesday evening, Novembe' 26, Mr. John B. Redmond, of Lumber ton, one of the landmarks of the grow ing county seat whom we have knows for more than forty years, though we are both quite young. John had quite an experience be fore coming to Lumberton. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, but came to this country with his father, the late George Redmond when only a few months old. He spent the early years of tiis life in Charleston, S. C. Dur ing the Civil War, when only about ten years old, he ran on blockade run ners, two of which were blown up while he was a member of the crews. The last one was run ashore near Fort Macon, N. C, and blown up to pre vent its capture by a Federal man of war which was chasing it. Hewas captured with the rest of the crew and taken to Point Look Out and kept imprisoned until the end of the war, when he was but 12 years old. He joined his father in Lumberton in 1867, where he has pince made his home. GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, J. A. Kimbro, says: "For several years ! past Foyel's Honey and Tar Com-! pound has been my household remedy j for all ""coughs, colds and lung trou- J bles.

MORTGAGEE'S SALE OF LAND Under and by virtue of the power contained in a certain mortgage deed executed by G. E. Meyers and wife, S. Cm. Myers, to E. D. McNeill, dated.

This the 6th day of December, 1913. E. D. M'NEILL, Mortgagee. JOHNSON & JOHNSON, 1284Mon. Attys. for Mortgagee. State Now Burning Wood Stamped by Government. Burning cordwood bearing the "U. S. Government stamp is an unusual experience with many in North Caro lina, says a recent dispatch to The Charlotte Observer. The wood wood comes from the United States reservations in McDowell and other counties in the mountains of western North Carolina, where 32,000 acre-3 aro under government control. This is the first season that wood has been sold by the Government and more than 4,000 cords have been sold at 25 cents a cord. Three government representatives, known as rangers, under the leadership of Jim Young, stationed at Old Fort, care for the re servation and see that Uncle Sam's rights are respected. The citizens of the section are al lowed to hunt and fish on tn"o lands, but must not cut timber, except under the direction of the rangers. Only such trees are allowed to be used for wood as are undesirable and are known as "culls." This wood is sold at 25 cents a cord on the stump. The trees are selected by the rangers and are clearly branded with- a big "U. S." driven deep into the wood. After the wood is corded the rang ers must also brand every stick and a removal of the wood without this brand subjects the dealer to prosecu tion in the Federal Courts. It is re garded as nothing less than "block ading" to sell or remove wood without the proper brand. Farmers of the section are allowed grazing privileges at 75 cents a head for the season. They may also culti vate the land by paying $1 a year the acre to Uncle Sam. Conditions in Robeson Behind A. W .McLean for Governor. Raleigh News and Observer. "There will be about two-thirds of a cotton crop in Robeson," said Mr. A. T. McCallum, of Hed Springs, here last week at the meeting of the State Board of Agriculture, of which he is a member. "The crop in Robeson," he went on, "has been hurt by excessive rains and cut short by the Anthracnose. The corn crop and the hay crop are big ones. Tobacco has done well in the southern Dart of the conntv and nrvt season will ho nlnntorl arnnnH R,l I Springs, land in the northern portion being considered as good tobacte land. General conditions in the county are good. "We keep on at work making our good roada, using our convict forces. Our people believe in good schools and brick buildings are going up over the county for our schools. hTe Southern Presbyterian College at Red Springs is in a prosperous condition. "Talking of politics don't forget that we are going to be behind A. W. McLean for governor in 1916. He will receive the hearty support of Rob eson county. We feel that the gover norship ought to come to our section and that A. W. McLean is the ideal candidate. We need a business man's government in North Carolina and. A. W. McLean will fill the bill exactly. PICTORIAL Tka " :Minc7cs Dyspepsia is America's curse. To restore digestion, romal weiglil. f-'ood health and purify th; blood, use Burdock Blood Bitters.
