New York Dispatch, 18th.
Removal of William R. George from
active participation in the affairs of
George Junior Republic at Freeville,
N. Y., founded by him more than
ten years ago is recommended by the
State board of charities in a report
adopted by the board yesterday after
noon and made public today. George's
moral conduct is severely condemn
ed. An investigation begun more than
six months ago resulted in the recom
mendation. More than fifty witnesses
in six states were examined with re
gard to charges of loose living made
against George by three young wo
men, former members of the repub
lic. The oldest of these charges dated
back to 1904. The most recent was
several years old. The .testimony was
unprintable and no verdict as to
whether the charges were proved was
was rendered by the committna under
whose directionjthe investigation was
was made. "

'A VISIT TO CHARLESTON,
Some Interesting Observations About
the Historic Old City A Native of
Robeson Who is Making Good There.
To the Editor of. The Robesonian;
The writer took a, few day.i off a
short time since and visited the old
and historic city of Charleston, S. C
and these notes are simply given as a
slight sketch of a city that that was
once prominent in the eyes of the
world.
Fort Sumpter, that little fort that
brought on all our woes and troubles,
lies now unknown and unnoticed in the
entiance of the harbor. The firing on
the fort by the Confederates raised a
furor in the North. Up to that time,
there had been, outside of the radical
newspapers, comparative little in
terest concerning Lincoln's doings. He
forced the issue by letting Davis
start the ball. He did it sherwdly
and premeditatedly. Davis, we sup
pose was carried away by the force
of the hot headed secessionists, who
crowded to Charleston from all parts
ef!the South.
"Find out what your enemy wants
you to do and then don't do it," is an
old military adage that our govern
ment overlooked. Had Davis permits
ted Lincoln to fire the first shot, then
the hue and cry raised by Lincoln
about "firing on the flag," would have
never been.
Lincoln was a shrewd old coon. He
had great tact, and himself was the
best general in the North.
The beautiful Isle of Palms was vis
ited, also Sullivan's He, which is now
a government station, and which was
used during the war as a prison,
when 400 Confederates were daily .ex
posed to the shells of the Yankees, and
from which hell only 25 survived the
ordeal. (Excuse this rambling nar-
rative, for when we start on such
things we don't know when to stop.)
Charleston is certainly a place of
absorbing interest. Her people keep
true to their Southern heritage.
Here character, morality and worth
are superior to ' the North
ern influx of money, bags and her old
families are 'impervious to the
gilt and tinsel of money, unless ac
companied by worth and-virtue. When
a hoy we remember reading in the
old Fayetteville Observer (and I wish
it could be reproduced) an account of
M'Alpiris visit to Charleston, said to
have been written by the late Judge
French. It was a most amusing ac
count of a Mr. McAlpin's, of Robeson
first visit to Charleston. Probably
some of your older citizens remember.
As this was not the writer's first visit,
he must not be compared to McAlpin.
Charleston has a great many place.'
of
interest, and among these are
her many hospitals and sanatoriums
A Robeson county boy, raised under
the regime of the Lowrey gang, wher
life TSd"DroT5ertv"W,erB"-nTiRafj
in
that section is now the proprietor of
one of t,he finest sanatoriums in the
city. Nothing but the unyielding in
tegrity and honesty of the father and
the progress and hopefulness of the
mother could have raised up and edu
cated a family of boys and girls, and
to send them out to do the world's
work. One of the results of such
training in the Baker Sanatorium and
surgical hospital owned and conducted
by Dr. A. McE. Baker, one " of
Charleston's foremost surgeons.
What an instructive and interesting
biographycouldsuch ajife afford! To
a friend enquiring as to what he
most admired, jn Baker's sanatorium,
the reply was the executive ability
that planned and controlled the plant,
and .the womanly wife that had the
other end of the stick. He is a pro
duct of North Carolina and she the
product of South Carolina, one being
the complement of the other!

Worn Out?
No doubt you are, if
you suffer from anyof the
numerous ailments to
, which an women are sub
ject. Headache, back
. ache, sideache, nervous-i 4
ness, weak, tired feeling,
are some of the symp
toms, and you must rid
yourself of them in order
to feel well. Thousands
of women, who have
been benefited by this
remedy, urge you to
. Mrs. Sylvania Woods,
of Clifton Mills, Ky., says:
"Before taking C a r d u i ,
I was, at times, so weak I
could hardly walk, and
, the pain in my back and
head nearly killed me.
After taking three bottles
of Cardui, the pains dis
appeared. Now I feel as
well as I ever did. Every
suffering woman should
try Cardui." Get a bottle

Alexander Should Resign.
Monroe Enquirer.
It is up to Mr. J. L Alexander of
Asheville to resign as a member of
Gvenor Craig's staff. Alexander v as
appointed a member of the Govcror's
taff in ggod faith, the Governor net
knowing that the Asheville cit'zen on
his staff was keeping, large quantities
of liquor for sale, but at the liquor
selling investigation held in Asheville
recently, Alexander a big hotel man
and a member of the Governor's
staff was one of the number canp-ht in
the net and who had to come across
with a fine for violating the prohibi
tion law. Alexander to relieve Gover
nor, Craig's embarrassment should,
resign and if he does not resign he
deserves to be called down.

ther of the latter, Mr. W. O. Floyd
How are you going to spend Christ
mas? Would you spend it as your
Master would have you do it? If so,
do not stoop low enough to touch
strong drink. It is a shame t cele
brate the birth of the Saviour of the
world under the influence of strong
drink, and God is .not pleased with
it.
We begin by believing that the way
of life is by acquisition. We live
to learn that it, is by abandonment.

little boat so small." Canon Farrar.
A FRIEND
TO THE
WORKING
MAN
Five years ago I was so troubled
with kidney trouble and in
flammation of the bladder that I
had to lease working my farm. Life
looked dark to me until I heard of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root through a
cured friend. I tried a bottle and
began to feel better at once. After
using five or six bottles I felt fine
and nave continued to work as I had
before my affliction.
I want to state that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is a kidney medicine
th?.t will cure and I owe my good
work during the past nve or six
years to it
Yours very truly,

It develops that there is to be a
contest after all for membership--the
Board of Trustees of the Central
Hospital for Insane here between It.
H. Salisbury of Martin County a
A. B. Croom of Burgaw, Mr. Salisbury
being an appointee of Governor Kites-
in and MrCroom of Governor Craig
to the same place. Mr. Croom has
the advantage of having a Senate con
firmation of the appointment he holds
from Governor Craig.
It was thought last May that Mr.
Salisbury had given up his fight, bot
he presented himself at the annual
meeting of Directors, just held aaa
demanded recognition, which was re
fused. Superintendent Anderson also
declined to sign his voucher for $9.5
per diem and expenses.
Mr. Salisbury claims his commis
sion from Governor Kitchin to suc
ceed Dr. John D. Briggs was for the
unexpired term extending to 1917.
Governor Craig when he succeeded
Governor Kitchin exercised the right
of appointing another on the ground
that Mr. Kitchjn's appointment eouW
only hold until the next Legislature.
Indications are that a suit will, be
started to test the matter in the courts
at once.
