THE ROBESQMIAH - L . -- - ' " " . ' . - ' ESTABLISHED 1870. COUNTRY, GOD AND TRUTH SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. VOL. XLV. LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1914. NUMBER 3. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETS Meeting at Court House Monday Night Adopted By-Laws and Elect ed Executive Committee Commit tee Appointed to Secure a Hotel Spite'n. . - At a well-attended meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at the court house Monday night by-laws were adopted and an executive committee of seven was elected. The by-laws provide that any citizen of Lumber ton or this vicinity may become a member. There is no initiation fee and the annual dues are only $1 per year. Regular meetings are to be ..held on the second, Thurday- in each months and special meetings may be called by the president at any time. The executive committee is composed ' of the president and secretary-treasurer, J. P. Russell ad J. A. Sharpe, members ex' officio; K. M. Barnes, C. V. Brown, H. M. McAllister, R. C. Lawrence, K. M. Biggs.- President Russell reported that he went to .Wilmington Saturday" in the interest of the organization and learn ed somethings about a hotel; He told about interviews he had had with men who have had experience in pro moting things of the kind, and was satisfied that Lumberton can and wijl build a hotel in the near future. Mr. Russell also suggested that the min isters of the town can help in the work the 'Chamber of Commerce wants to do by forming an organ ization of their own. Supt. R. E. Sentelle, of the graded school, announced that he will have some matters of importance to bring before the organization at its next regular meeting. Mr. C. M. Barker suggested that the Chamber of Commerce might pro perly interest itself in the danger that threatens every home, where colored cooks and nurses are employed, many of these women having contagious diseases of a loathsome nature that make their presence in any home dangerous. He suggested that every woman who is employed in homes in the capacity of cook or nurse ought to have a health certificate. Mr. J. A. McAllister and others ex pressed entire agreement with Mr. Barker and felt that he had brought up a most important matter, but that it would require a law and that the Chamber of Commerce would be pow erless to do anything except agitate the matter. Immediately after the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce the execu tive committee met and appointed Messrs. R. C. Lawrence, K. M. Biggs and K. M. Barnes a committee to see what can fee" done in regard to a hotel. This committee is to see what can be done in the way of securing a sight and subscriptions to build a hotel and to report within ten days. In a word, this committee is expected to busy itself with the object of secur ing a hotel for Lumberton in spite of all obstacles. It is a" big job but the comittee is equal to it. Danger Be Careful About Kitchin Ranges. One cannot be too careful about kitchin ranges that have water tanks during weather like this. To keep . on the safe side, be sure that there . is no water in your range tank be fore building a fire when everything is frozen up. In this morning's Wilm ington Star is an account of the ex plosion Tuesday of a hot water tank r.d pipes running into a kitchin range at a home in Goldsboro. . The tank and water pipes had frozen and the explosion came a short while after fire had been made in the range, bloving the range to-atoms, breaking out the window lights, destroying all the crockery in the kitchin and severly scalding the cook, who was lucky to escape with her life. Peo ple in this section are so unaccustom ed to spells like this that they may be forgetful about J;he danger. Unless you are sure that the water has been allowed to run out of your tank and that the cock ia turned so as to allow the escape of any steam from the small amount of water that remains after being drained off, it is safest not to build a fire in your range. Guineas Treed a 'Possum. Did the guineas tree the'possum ? Why sure they did, according to Mr. A. E. Monroe's statement. Mr. Mon roe, who lives near Elrod, was among thz visitors in town Tuesday, and told a Robesonian reporter that he had six gyineas that put a "shag" right :r up a tree one day recently, almost picking him before he could get up the tree. Mr. Monroe heard the guin eas, barking, or making a terrible noise, and thinking that something was giving them great trouble, hur ried to the scene, climbed the tree and i nontiiMiH thf 'nnssnm. Th 'nossnm fho . guineas treed was sold by that same gentleman for 55 cents, cash. Things that don't seem possible will happen. Death of Mrs. J. D. Duncan at Her Home Near Bellamy. " Mrs. J. D. Duncan died Tuesday morning at her. home near Bellamy. The cause of her death was apoplexy. She was taken sick Monday afternoon about 2 o'clock and died Tuesday morning about 6. She is survived by her husband and four children. In terment was made in the family hur rying grounds yestereday at 11 a. m. Will HaveHU Hat in the Ring. Mr. M: G. McKenzie, Robeson's present treasurer, says he will have his hat in the ring for treasurer again at the right time. UNION STATION ORDERED. Corporation Commissions Settles the Lumberton ControversyVirginia & Carolina Southern Must Build a Track to the Seaboard Passenger Station. The following from yesterday's Raleigh News and Observer is of con siderable interest to Lumberton 'folk: '-'The Corporation Commission yes terday made an order that the Virginia-Carolina Southern, the Raleigh and Charleston and the Seaboard Air Line Railway companies make a union station at Lumberton. "The Seaboard now has a brick station several years old. All three roads are to run in this place. The Virginia-Carolina Southern will pay a rental of $20 per month to the Sea board and the cost of the maintenance will be apportioned. "The Seaboard will pay 55 per cent, the Virginia-Carolina Southern 31 and the Raleigh and Charleston 14.. It is conceded that the bigger road uses the station a great deal more than the smaller ones and that the cost of maintenance should be borne largely by it. Whether there will be any pro test against this arrangement is not known. It is believed that the ar rangement will be thoroughly satis factory." It was good news that this matter, which has been hanging for some time, has been settled. The union station is needed badly. The Raleigh & Charleston has been using the Sea board station all the while, and the order merely means that the V. & C. S. will have to build a track to the Seaboard depot. Nothing is said in the above about preparing the grounds, which will require consider able work. The only matter in con. troversy between the Seaboard and V. & C. S. was the question of rent, the V. & C. S. contending that the Seaboard wanted too much rent. Capt. J. P. Russell, general superintendent of the V. & C. S. says he has received no notice as yet in regard to the or der of the Commission. IN RE POSTOFFICE SITE. Probable That Some Definite Action Will Be Taken This Week in Re gard to Lumberton Public Building Site Capital Wrapped in Snow. Special to The Rbbesonianj Washington, Feb. 24 Tine Capital city is wrapped in snow, five inches fell yesterday afternoon and last night on top of the snow that fell week before last, most of which is still on the ground. Over 500 men are engaged in cleaning off and hauling snow from the thoroughfares, cross walks, and side-walks in the business districts. Seventy teams are employ ed in the hauling. A great many of the number engaged in the show moving began work last night at 12 o'clock. The sky is clear today and the sun is shining bright but the wind is sharp and cold, especially to a Robesonian. It is very probable that some defi nite action will be taken this week with regard to the purchase of a pub lic building site for Lumberton. Con gressman Godwin had the matter up Saturday with the Second Assistant of the Treasury Department and he was insured that something definite would be done within the next few days. The inspector who recently visited Lumberton for the purpose of looking into the situation as to sites available has recommended to the De partment that the Townsend lot be purchased. This correspondent learns with a great deal of interest from The Robe sonian that Lumberton at last has a business organizatioa looking to the betterment of the town's business in terests. Here's hopiner that Lumber- ton's "Chamber of Commerce" will see to the town's having a hotel. Mr. W. S. Britt of Lumberton spent Saturday and Sunday in Wash ington. He was here on legal busi ness. Library Day Postponed. Supt. Sentelle and teachers and pu pils had planned for "library day" at the graded school tomorrow, but ow ing to the snow and intense cold it has been- postponed to a better time. When library day" is held there will be exrcisds at the school house and" the children will parade the streets. Yesterday pupils of the school made a sort of whilwind campaign and se cured many bopks for the library. Some of the grades brought in yester day as a result of the canvass books amounting in all to $90 in value Supt. Sentelle-and all others interest ed feel very much encouraged and confidently expect that withy? a short while a library of not less than $1, 000 in value will be secured. Southern May Spend $2,000,000 to 3,UU0,uuU at Spencer. . Spencer Dispatch, 21st. The announcement from the head quarters of the Southern Railway Company in Washington that $10, 000,000 had. been appropriated for im provements at terminals and about $5,000,000 for increasing rolling-stock has aroused much interest in Spencer. The largest shops on the Southern system are located here. The Spencer terminals are among the most im portant on the road, and it is expected that a large per cent of the money will be invested in improvements in Spencer. The first buildings to be erected will be a new roundholJse and a new power plant. It is Expected that $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 will be spent here. BARACA-PHILATHEA MEETING, Large Crowd Attended Convention of Robeson Baraca-Philathea Union at Fairmont Sunday Classes of First Baptist Sunday School of Lumberton Best-Reperesented Inspiring Ad dresses, Good Music and a Bountiful Dinner. Sunday was a pleasant day for the good people of Fairmont and the hun dreds of Baracas and Philatheas that gathered there for the purpose of at tending the Robeson Baraca-Philathea Union. It will long be remem bred as a day of real pleasure, a day of good advice and encouragement to go forward J and do things. By far the largest crowd that ever attended one of these profitable meetings gath ered at Fairmont Sunday. The Baraca and Philathea classes of the First Baptist church of Lumberton were the best represented classes in the county. The exercises were held in the auditorium of the handsome new Baptist church which was recently completed by the Baptists of this bautiful little city. The' exercises began at 11 a. m., the meeting was called to order by County President W. Lennon of Lum berton. After some very beautiful selections had been sung by the au dience, a beautiful quartette that was much enjoyed was sung by four boys of the Baraca class of the First Baptist Sunday school of Lumberton, which was followed by a solo very tastefully rendered by Mrs. R. " R. Carlyle of Lumberton, after which Mr. E. J. Britt, president of the Mt. Eliam Sunday School Institute, was introduced by Mr. Lennon. Mr. Britt used as his theme "The Mission of the Sunday School." This is a broad subject and it was handled In a broad way. Mr. Britt said in part, that the great misson of the Sunday school is to lead boys and girls to greater things in life, teach them the real meaning of life, a means of bringing lost man back in favor with his Creator, to influence a child for good at the right time, therefore making better citizenship; a means of crowding out evil with good, to teach the word of God, and to give young people a vision of higher ideals. Mr. Britt spoke in appealing tones and held the audience spell-bound while he was speaking. After this address the meeting ad journed for dinner, a real dinner, the nicest this reporter ever saw spread. A table 4x100 feet had been erected in a new store building and on this table had been placed all the good things a hungry man could wish for. It was a beautiful sight to behold. The folks went at it like they felt like it, but after all were more than satisfied many baskets full were taken up. At 1:30 the crowd very near all the crowd reassembled in the audito rium. They were expecting some thing great, and were not disappoint ed. The first thing on the program for the afternoon session was a beautiful quartette sung by Fair mont's male quartette, followed by a violin solo rendered by Mr. R. R. Carlyle of Lumberton, after which Miss Lucile Jones of Lumberton sang a beautiful solo. Miss Flossie Byrd of Greensboro, general secretary of the State Baraca-Philathea Union, was present, and at this time made a beautiful and ap pealing address, one full of light and encouragement. She said that al though she had traveled all over the State no county had made the impres sion that Robeseon, the county she believed to be greatest and strongest in every way, had made on her. She seemed to be carried away with the work of the Robeson Baracas and Philatheas, and bade them God-speed in the great work. She paid high tribute to Rev. Fred . P. Collins, pas tor of the Baptist church at Reids ville, a Robeson county boy, who is making a name in the world. Mr. Col lins addressed the Baracas at Greens boro on last Sunday, making, she said, one of the most powerful addresses imaginable. Miss Byrd's theme was "The Effi cient Class, or Robeson County for Christ." She said that if the world was ever taken for Christy it . must oe done -through the bdvs and clrls of our land, that we must go after souls as we go after dollars, go after Jthem in a. busineessJike way, , and give the best rervice possible, is v cannot afford to give God anything iehs; mat a class should advertise for lr.embers and work for them ;ust ds a merchant advertises for cuito r'ers. She said that the National Union now had over 10,000 classes with more than 1,000,000 members in all protectant denominations. Her's was a rich address and much enjoy ed. The next meeting will be held with the Barnesville school on the third Sunday in August." A rising vote of thanks was tender ed the people of Fairmont for the cor dial welcome and royal entertainment given all present. Residence Burned. A residence across the river, in the eastern part o ftown belonging to Evander McDougald, colored, was burned with all its contents Monday night about 11 p'clock. It is suppos ed that the fire started from the ex plosion of a lamp. When the occupants awoke the house was burning to the extent that they didn't have any time to lose in- order to get out before it fell in. No alarm was turned in as the house was out of reach of the fire de partment. . : SOUND MIND IN SOUND BODY Physical Defects Among School Chil dren Co-operation of Parents Needed. The development of the body pro. portionately with the development of the mind, that a sound mind may have a sound body with which and through which to work effectively, has been recognized by all thoughtful educa tors in all enlightened lands from time immemorial as an essential part f education. The first duty of every teacher and every school official is the protection of the health and lives of the children committed to his care. Careful at tention should, therefore, be given to providing healthful surroundings in -the school room and on the school grounds, to the prevention of disease by the removal, so far as possible, of the causes of disease from schoolroom and school grounds, to the detection and correction of physical defects and diseases by systematic and scientific inspection of the children. Robeson county has made wonder ful progress along these lines for the past two years. Medical inspection has been made for nearly every school in the county and in nearly every dis trict teachers have made themselves assistant health officers for general improvements in sanitation. The re sults have been marvelous. The amount of sickness and the number of deaths from contagious diseases have been reduced so markedly that the average citizen is forced to see the wonderful success of health work. Probably we have no cause for com. plaint. The co-operation of the people is evident. But only about one-fourth of the school children reported for physical defects have been treated. Why not relieve these children of those burdens which are so detrimen tal to health, happiness, and progress in school work. We appeal to the parents to assist us in this capacity. Free treatment is already arranged for those unable to pay. Do not allow the child to be handicapped longer. Examinations among school chil dren for the past two years show the per cent, of defectiveness to run as follows: For teeth, 65 per cent; vis ion, 4 per cent; adenoids, 64 per cent; diseased tonsils, 5.4 per cent? ear dis eases, .6 per cent; other defects, 3.3 per cent. Only those needing immediate at tention have been reported. ROBESON COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH. FREE EXAINATION RIA. FOR MALA- Dr. B. W. Page, county health offi cer, informs The Robesonian that ar rangements have been made with Dr. R. H. Von Ezdorf of the United States Public Health Service, the great ma larial specialist now in charge of the United States Marine Hospital in Mo bile, Ala., for free examination for malaria of all the people in Robeson county who desire the same. Many people have malarial para sites in their blood without ever suf. fering from chills but remain a lit tle below par all the while. These and all others who have had chills within the last five years should take advantage of this opportutnity for free examination so that treatment can be pursued before the opening of the spring, when chills usually return among the many who have chronic cases of the disease. In the most malarious section of the county the physicians will collect specimens for their patients. Dr. Page will co-operate with them. With pro per co-operation from the people, it is possible to prevent an epidemic of malaria which will certainly come with the opening of spring if active measures are not pursued. Vyithin $10,000 of a Hotel. Mr. C. M. Barker, joint owner with Dr. W. A. McPhaul of the lot on the corner of Elm and First streets, near the Seaboard passenger station, says it will require the securing of only $10,000 to trtrild a hotel on that w and that if jan additional $10.000can be"" secured in Lumberton ' (they al ready have made arrangements to se cure the additional money necessary to build a handsome hotel that will meet the needs of the town. Hotel talk'' is in the air anil enma. thing is going to happen in the near future, it is safe to predict. Folks Behaving Themselves Hard Times Given the Credit. Sheriff R. E. Lewis says folks are behaving themselves much better this winter than they did last winter. He says last winter he"" was out looking for somebodv at least every week, while this winter he has- n t Deen out a single night. He gives the short cotton crop credit for this, as he thinks monev is not. nln;fni enough for folks to spend much for wie sumuiator.' Mt. Eliam Local Meets Saturday. AH the members of thn Mf. Fi; local of the Farmers' Union a ra re quested to meet at the school house at Mt. Eliam Saturday of this week at 3 o'clock p. m., as some business will be transacted that will be of im portance to each 'member. Albert Smith." a farmer of rtnniin county, 35 years old, took a swallow from a bottle of carbolic acid Tues day, mistaking it for whiskey, it is thought, and died within 20 minutes. DAY AT SCHOOL. GRADED Tomorrow All the People of Lumber ton Wijl Be Given Opportunity to Contribute Something to Graded School Library School in Sore Need of a Library Suitable Dona tions Will Be Appreciated! What is Needed Committee Will Inspect AU Books Make This a "Red Let. ter" Day for the SchooL The following was written and put in type before the anew. On account of the snow and cold, "library day," which was to have been observed tomorrow, has been postponed to some more favorable day. But in order that citizens of the town may be thinking about this matter Supt. Sentelle asks that the following be published today anyway, and further announcement will be made when an other day is decided upon. Editor. To the Editor of The Robesonian. Friday, February 27, 1914 has been get apart as library day at the graded school. On that day all the people of the town will be given an oppor tunity to contribute something to this object The school has practically no library, and on this account is badly handicapped along all lines of work. The school stands in sore need of an up-to-date library, and it is the am bition of the management of the school to have such a library. The principal reason why we have no li brary at present is the same reason we offer for not having other equip ment we need: lack of funds. We always feel a hesitancy about psking the people of the town for contributions to the school, and our requests have been few compared with those made by other schools. But feeling as we do thatlhe importance of having a library justifies our ac tion, we are making an earnest ap peal to the people of the community for contributions. No better invest- i. ii i i i l mem cuuiii oe rnaae, ana we are cure j that something would have been dono I long aero by the pationaere of th- school if the matter had been broiifrht to their attention. Opportunity will be given to make donations of tables, chairs, book cases, books, subscriptions to maga zines and papers, and every contribu tors name together with the name of the article contributed, will be pub lished in the city paper, and every article will be labeled giving the name of donor, and date of presentation. Those who are not in a position to give any of the articles mentioned above will be called upon for some money any amount will be accepted and careful record will be kept of every cent contributed, and the amount received will be spent for books for the library. A committee of six has been ap pointed by the faculty to inspect all books presented and see that no ob iectional books are placed in the li brary. The following parties have been asked to serve on tho committ"" Mrs. Alf. H. McLeod, Mrs. H. T. Pope, Mrs. J. R. Poole, Miss Viv ian Townsend, Mr. H. E. Stacy and Mr. J. A. Sharpe. All kinds of standard books will be received including: biography, poe try, history, science, books of travel, nature study .books, story books, wit and humor books", dictionaries, ency clopedias, and any text books that can be used as supplementary work in the classes. Maps and globes may be included. We want this to be a ''red letter" day for the school, and we appeal to every man, woman, boy and girl in town to help us make it a success. Therefore, we earnestly appeal to everyone to make some kind of contri bution to this most worthy obiect.
