SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS
MEET.
Quarterly Meeting of Mt. Eliam Sun
day School Institute Held at East
Lumberton Yesterday Large
Crowds Attended Address by Mr.
Stephen Mclntyre Singing Con
test. No clouds, nor. rain nor anything
kept large crowds from attending the
quarterly meeting of the Mt. Lliam
Sunday School Institute held at East
Lumberton yesterday, ine ioiks were
there from all ways. They began to-
arrive earlv in the morning and 1)y
10:30 the church and country round
about were filled with South Robeson
Sunday school workers. An excur
sion train from Pages Mill, S. C,
brought great crowds of people, every
car, even the expresscar, being filled
to its capacity.
The exercises were opened about
10:30 with devotional service, follow,
id by a beautiful address that made
, all feel welcome, delivered by Rev. W.
R. Davis, pastor of the East Lumber
ton Baptist . church. The response
was made by Rev. Paul T. Bntt of
Mt. Eliam, who assured Mr. Davis
that everybody felt at home in East
Lumberton.
The roll of 'the schools was then
called and all the schools that compose
the Institute eleven in number were
represented. A short rport made by
some member of each school showed
that there is more interest being tak
en in Sunday school work in South
: Robeson now than at anytime in the
past.
At this, time Mr. Stephen Mclntyre
of Lumberton, the principal speaker
of the occasion, addressed the Insti
tute, on "Duties and Qualifications of
the Teacher." Being, as he is, one Of
the best Sunday school teachers in
North Carolina, Mr. Mclntyre was
ready to deliver the goods. He held
his audience spell-bound for about one
hour. He said in part, that teaching
a Sunday school class was the great
est work on earth except preaching
' the Gospel, that a teacher should be
interested and work for the salvation
of his class just as a preacher works
for the salvation of his hearers; that
a teacher should have a love for his
class, and be interested in the future
welfare and happiness of his or her
students and ever live a clean, pure,
model life before his or her pupils.
His address was timely, to the point
and greatly enjoyed. After his ad
dress the meeting was adjourned for
dinner, which was spread in great
quantities in the grove near the
church. There was plenty to eat and
plenty left.
At 2:30 the crowd reassembled for
the singing contest, which was grand.
All the schools which compose the
Institute except Big Branch entered
the contest, and it seemed that every
body was in the right tune. Better
music was never heard in these coasts,
than was made on this great occasion.
The schools all made the best average
ever made in the history of the In
stitute, according to the report of t:ie
judges. It was real live music.
Besides the contest music, there
were some very beautiful quartettes
.-and music by some of the small chil
dren. This institute is old enough to
be free twenty-one years old and
is still growing as though it was in
. its infancy. It is doing a great work,
a work that will be felt in the far dis
tant future.
The next meeting will be held at
Barnesville the fifth Sunday in May.

Reported for the Robesonian.
The Union meeting of the Robeson
Baptist Association convened with
East Lumberton Baptist church a ri-
a
f
0;
ay, March 27, at 10:30 a. m.
he meeting was opened with a
praise service led by W. S. Johnson
of St. Paul's, after which Rev. J. F.
Jenkins of Lumber Bridge preached
the introductory sermon from Judges
5:23; subject, the "Sin of inactivity."
The sermon was clear-cut, and made
fine impression on the audience.
At the afternoon service after the
enrollment of churches, the following
subjects were discussed: "The Doc
trines of Our Faith," ably discussed by
R."N. Cashwell, and J; J. Scott. "Does
everlasting mean everlasting in
Matt. 25:46?" provoked an entertain
ing hour in which speeches were made
by M. A. ' Stephens, D. B. Hum
phrey, C. H. Durham, W.- R.
Davis and others. Special emphasis
was laid upon the fallacies and errors
of Russellism, and the people were
warned against reading the literature
sent out by the propagandist of "mil
lenial dawnism."
At the night service an interesting
and helpful sermon was preached by
Rev5C. H. Durham and "My Covenant
Relationship to my church -' was dis
cussed and impressively emphasized
by Rev. I: P. Hedgepeth..
. Saturday morning at 10 o'clock the.
praise SCTiee was 'conducted by Rev.
R. A. Hedgpeth, after which the Un
ion entered into the -discussion of the
following subject: "Shall we have a
denominational high school located in
Robeson county?" This was discuss
ed by I. P. Hedgpeth, C. H. Durham
and R. E. Sentelle. In years no more
important enterprise has been con
sidered by the churches composing the
Robeson Association than the estab
lishment of a school in the bounds of
our association, which would in equip
ment and curriculum be equal to tne
best. The consensus of opinion seemed
to be that uch a school was an im
perative need now. It was stated that
$50,000 would be necessary to equip
such a plant.
In the afternoon the meeting reach
ed high tide in the discussion of "En
listment work," and "Stewardship,"
by W. R. Davis, C. H. Durham and
others.
At night R. A. Hedgpeth preached
and considerable interest was mani
fested among the unsaved. His
subiect was "What shall we do." Acts
2:37.
This closed one of the best and
most profitable sessions ever held
by the Robeson Union.

PARKTON PARAGRAPHS.
Marriage of Miss Willie Hodges and
Mr. A. D. Thames Visit to South
ern Pines and Pinehurst Robeson
Badly Behind That Section on Roads
Plowing Into Roads Should Be
Stopped A Circus and Home-Talent
Plays Painting and Building
New Corn Crusher and Grist Mill
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Parkton, March 27 Mr. A. D.
Thames and Miss Willie Hodge3 were
united in marriage on last Sunday
night at half past seven o'clock at the
home of the bride, Rev. H. B. Porter
pastor of the M. E. Church officiat
ing, in the presence of a number of
relatives and friends. The groom is
one of the best young men of the
town, smart and energetic, with a
promising future, and at present holds
a position with Mr. M. L. Marsley of
Lumber Bridge, while the bride is one
of Parkton's most lovely and cultured
young ladies. We extend most hearty
congratulations and wish for them a
long and happy life. In this particular
Parkton's loss is Lumber Bridge's
gain.
The Parkton cornet band filled an
important engagement at Southern
Pines on Monday, making the trip in
two automobiles. Left at 8 a. m. and
reached Southern Pines at 11 o'clock,
and by one o'clock was at liberty, so
immediately after dinner left for sight
seeing, and by 2:30 was on the hills of
Pinehurst. As the writer was among
the number can say that no one that
has never visited this place ever im
agined the grandure of this resort,
built and occupied principally by
Northern people. You never saw
so many hotels in, one place in your
life, and everybody in a stir playing
games of some sort, but mostly golf.
In our earlier school days we would
pronounce it "shinny." Hundreds of
acres of land are cleared and prepar
ed for the various games, parks, &c.
You would find yourself amazed and
just to realize, we were only 50 miles
from home. The farming section is
unlike this of Robeson, as there is no
cotton and but little corn raised up
there; but peaches, pears, apples, dew.
berries and raspberries. Some fields
of more than a hundred acres growing
peaches.
I must mention the roads in that
section. The prettiest and fastest
roads to be found anywhere. They do
not wait until the road is all full of
holes and torn up, but they are kept
hard by the constant use of road
drags. ' After leaving the hustling
town of Raeford and coming near
home the road gets worse and worse.
Robeson is so far in the rear! When
will it ever catch up ? Never until we
get a move on. If we fix up a respec
table public road the people will allow
the plows to spoil it. Where are, the
rural police that they don't fix the
farmers that plow up the public roads
in old Robeson ? As for Parkton town
ship, it will be a grey old day before
we will ever have any better roads
as the three trustees that have been
appointed seem to be very well con
tented, and if the road is one cent
better today than the day they werjB
appointed we fail to see it. Why not
see that the road boundary is kept
clear of the plows? Somebody should
be reported, as there is a road law
governing the bounds of a public road;
but people ignore it and scarcely find
a place out of town that automobiles
can pass each other, and there are
plenty of places that it is impossible
to pas's. One fellow has to drive in the
field and let the other pass. A $50 fine
should be drawn from some of these
road plowers and maybe the rest
would stop.
Tuesday and Tuesday night were
lively sure enough, as there was a
real circus in town. Almost any kind
of wild animal could be seeo, Tuesday
night at the auditorium of the graded
school there a grand play given by the
young ladies of the St. Paul's graded
school, etntiled "Not a Man in the
House." This play was greatly enjoy
ed by a good- sized house. Time and
space will not permit of all the im
portant details. Suffice it to say Miss
Livingstone and Miss Maud Poole
were stars, and when "The College
Boy" by the girls was exhibited the
cheers were sufficient to have them re
peat the dose. It was time and money
well spent to witness such an enter
tainment. Miss Pool at the piano was
l.ri-'TrrVr -r "
a treat. The Parkton school, or a
small portion of them are at St. Paul's
tonight to exhibit their play, "The
Colonel's Maid." Every automobile in
town and all that could be here from
Lumber Bridge and St. Paul's are
pressed in service and have gone to
St. Paul's for a jolly time with the
young folks.
Mrs. N. A. Council and Mrs. J. A.
Singleton of Red Springs are visiting
relatives and friends in town today.
Little Glen and Thornton Cobb are
quite sick with pneumonia.
The following parents placed on the

AN APPEAL TO PARENTS.
Children's Parties Seriously Interfer
ing With Graded School Work An
Epidemic of "Puppy Love" Girls
That Ought to Be in Short Dresses
And in School are Wearing the Ap
parel of Grown-Ups and Playing the
Part of Young Ladies at Parties and
in Their Parlors Several Have
Dropped Out of School. &
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Alexander Pope, in his Essay on
Criticism, said: "Fools rush in where
angels fear to tread." I may be a liv
ing exemplification of the truth of his
statement. I will leave that to the
people of the town to pass judgment
on. l want to register an earnest ap
peal with the people of our community
not to have any more children's par
ties until the graded school closes the
last week in May. ,
We have heavier work before us
for the remaining two months than in
any two previous months jn the his
tory of the school, and it how looks
like we will be confronted at the dose
of school with more failures of promo
tion than in any former year.
Parties and school work will mix no
more than will oil and water, and if
parties are not eliminated here during
school months, it looks like we had
better close the high school grades.
These parties have a demoralizing ef
fect on the pupils as far as their
studies are concerned and we have
failed this year more than ever be
fore to get pupils to rivet their at
tention on their text books. There is
the worst epidemic of "puppy love"
among the boys and girls I ever saw
in any student body, and every party
that is held spreads the contagion.
Several have neglected their studies
until they have had to drop out on ac
count of weak eyes. Others have stop
ped because of indigestion, press of
home duties, and so on. A few have
dropped out of the ranks because they
do not like their teachers. Thus goes
forward the demoralization caused by
parties and frolics.
Now why should children have par
ties when school is in session ? - They
are in session every day. They talk,
mix and mingle together, and play.
And they are happy. Then why have
parties, and cause them to lose sleep
and neglect home life around the fire
side, and the lessons that should be
studied there? Again, why let chil
dren "couple off" and parade to and
from parties when they are not old
enough to understand the meaning of
such things? Do we wish to make
"little men" and "little women" of our
boys and girls ? . There are some girls
now playing the role of housewives
who ought to be students in the grad
ed school robbed of childhood's pleas
ures. There are other girls in town
mere children wearing grown peo
ple's apparel and playing the part of
young ladies at parties and in their
parlors. I love the boys and girls of
i .iirbertDii and it grieves me to see
their young lives turned into the
wiong channels.
I tppeal to the fathers and mothers
of town to co-operate with us in help
ing the children to keep their minds on
their studies. In order to pass their
grades there must be less of parties
and other distracting practices and
more of genuine study.

FIRE AT OIL MILL.
Fertilizer Plant Sustains Heavy Loss
No More Orders Can Be Filled
This Season and Loss to Business
Will be Great.

Recorder's Court Assault Case
; Thrown Out.
A rather peculiar case was tried in
the recorder's court. Thursday after
noon. - Gertrude Evans, Indian, as
stated in Thursday's Robesonian, en
tered suit against Libby Ammons, In
dian, charging that he assaulted her
with a deadly weapon. She claimed
that Ammons, who is a married man,
passed the school house, where she
was in school, about recess "time, rid
ing on a wagon, and when he passed
her he asEed her what she was telling
about him, saying his wife had said she
(Gertrude) had backed him up in a
corner somewhere and given him a
good hugging and kissing, which he
denied; and when she (Gertrude) said
Ammons' wife was a liar, that he
jumped out of that wagon with his
knife open and it looked like he was
going to cut things up all 'round the
school house. Recorder Rowland threw
the case out of court. '
Jack Scott was tried before the re
corder Saturday on charge of trespass,
and judgment was suspended on pay
ment of cost.
