Immigration Bill passed by House.
The Burnett Immigration prescrib.
ing a literacy test for applicants for
admission to the United States was
passed by the House last Wednes
day. All proposed amendments relat
ing to the exclusion of Asiatic im
migrants previously had been elim
inated. As the bill passed it provides that
every immigrant atmitted to the Unit
ed States must be able to read "the
English language or some other lan
guage or dialect, including Hebrew
or Yiddish." It prescribes the meth
od of testing immigrants, providing
that each applicant for admission
must read a slip on which is printed
between 30 and 40 words.
In its present form this measura
passed the House and Senate in last
Congress but was vetoed by President
Taf t. A similar bill was vetoed dur
ing President Cleveland's second Ad
ministration. The supporters of the
bill are confident that it again will
pass the Senate although President
Wilson has let it be known that he
does not approve the literacy test

'WARE THE SEED FAKER.
Keep Your Eye On the Fellow Who
Comes With New Kind of Seed
That Make Miraculous Yields.
Look out for the seed fakir! He
has for the past few weeks been ope
rating in the central part of the
State, and has deceived and defrauded
farmer after farmer, selling them or
dinary seed from $4 to $6 per bushel
that were not worth more than from
$1 to $1.50 per bushel.
Keep your eye on the fellow who
comes to your house with his new
kind of seed for spring or fall sow
ing seed that makes miraculous yields.
Ask him to show his license to sell
seed in North Carolina. If he cannot
show the receipt of the Commission
er of Agriculture for money paid for
such a license, get his name and ad
dress and send them to us at once
and we will make an effort to get in
touch with him. It will pay you
TTo wr1teKe!Afe"ep"art"menfof
Agriculture before buying seed from
these seed peddlers.
Last year these seed fakirs did
much damage in Wilkes and other
counties in that section and finally the
farmers cried out against their dir
ty business, but the cry reached us
too late to do them any good it was
a case of locking the stable after the
horse is stolen.
We have just received a complaint
that these fakirs are in the State
again, selling seeds for spring sow
ing at ridiculously high prices, and
we are aiier mem, Dut tney may get
you before we can get them. There
fore, be on the lookout for them.

Next Important Historical Event in

"Contributed" to Red Springs Citizen,
Teacher to Little Boy Jonnie
what is it that makes Robeson fa
mous ?
Johnnie Her fertile soil, her good
schools, her clever people.
Right, answered the teacher. Now,
Johnnie, tell me what it was that
once made her famous in history?
The outlaws, said Johnnie.
, Correct, said the teacher. Now,
Johnnie, just one more question
What in your mind will be the next
and most important historical event in
Robeson ?
That. said Johnnie, will be when
she furnishes North Carolina her
next Governor.
And who will this be, Johnnie ?
"Wilton McLean, said Johnnie.
Now. there is a moral to this lit
tle incident, that is, that Robeson
boys not only study the record of past
events in their county, but also have
a prophetic eye.

Houston, Texas. In an interesting
letter from this city, Mrs. S. C Burton
writes as follows : "I think it is my duty
to tell you what your medicine, Cardui,
the woman's tonic, has done for me.
I was down sick with womanly trouble,
and my mother advised several different
treatments, but they didn't seem to do
me any good. I lingered along for three
or four months, and for three weeks, J
was in bed, so sick I couldn't bear for
any one to walk across the floor.
My husband advised me to try Cardui,
the woman's tonic. I have taken two
bottles of Cardui, am feeling fine, gained
15 pounds and do all of my housework.
Friends hardly know me, I am so well."
If you suffer from any of the ailments
to common to women, don't allow the
trouble to become chronic. Begin taking
Cardui to-day. It is purely vegetable.
its ingredients acting in a gentle, natural
way on the weakened womanly constitu

It has been helping weak women back to
health and strength for more than 50
years. It will help you. At all dealers.

Some Things
if
ing of a House !
Of course, it is not our intention to give advise and instruction in
detail as to how to build a house of any kind, but to call attention
to some few things about building houses.
In the first place we believe in having the serivee of an Architect
in planning a. house, then good workmen and good material should
produce a god building.. We do not furnish the Architect or the
builders.
But We Do Furnish Some
Good Building Material
in fact, we think we furnish the best building materials in soaae
special lines.
Take the Matter of Building Lime
This is an important item. We hare the-agency for the tip-top, cel
ebrated "ANCHOR BRAND" lime of which we have sold 20,000 bar.
rels in the last few years.. It is real economy to use this lime aa
many of the best workmen prefer it to any brand of LIME. The
reason is simple it is the best lime. Remember the name
Anchor Brand Lime
it is good for all purposes, building, plastering, sanitary and
other uses. :
We sell a specially prepared LIME for fine interior finishing of
walla the .... .
'Tiger Brand" Hydrated lime
put up in 401b. sacks, good and convenient for sanitary purposes
also. A very desirable feature of any building is the interior walls
it is possible to have perfect walls by using the WALL PLASTER
sold by usthe
Ivory Cement Plaster
This makes walls without a crack, with smooth surface, easily cleans
ed by using ordinary home cleansing methods, can be finished in any
tints or colors. It is economical as it has great spreading capacity
and makes a wall as hard as a rock.. Nearly all the better grades
of buildings now being erected have walls made of IVORY CEMENT
PLASTER. Walls of this plaster can be seen in nearly every nice
building erected in the town of Lumberton.

H. a JENNINGS, L. C. TOWNSEND
J. D. PROCTOR, AND OTHERS
For Foundation Work, or concrete work generally, we sell as good
Portland Cement as we know
Alpha Portland Cement
we know of nothing better.
We sell building material in general, including HARDWARE,
DOORS, BLINDS AND SASH, and we carry a good assortment of
these goods always in our WAREHOUSES.
We ask that BUILDERS and CONTRACTORS call on us and let
us figure cost of any and all materials specified for buildings to be
erected.
After a House is Built
The next thing after building a house should be the proper care
in order to preserve it and protect it against damages by bad weath
er. This can be done to a great extent by PAINT, but remember
all paints are not alike some makes are better than others
vvTlMnuaeBe1EerKiia
We can prove this by examination of the buildings where our paint
was used and comparing the same with buildings upon which other
makes of paint was used. We carry a large stock of Paint and
Paint Materials and they have the guarantee as to QUALITY. -
Now is a good time to apply PAINT, as it will protect the house
against the hot trying summer weather and will last longer than
when applied in hot weather.
Now, we believe there. will be nothing lost, but much may be
gained by considering the above suggestion about building and pre
serving houses. Call on us and let us talk face to face about these
matters. - .
