Confederate Veteran! Gathered Sat urday Gen. Bond Tells of an In teresting Experience 'at a Reunion in Maine Address by L. R. Var ser Dinner served by Daughters of Confederacy Graves Decorat ed. , . Early Saturday morning the mem bers of Camp Willis H. Pope began to arrive in town, many of them lean ing on sticks because of weakness from old age and warfare, and at 10 o'clock quite a number of the Robe son county braves had gathered in the court house. After a short busi ness meeting was held Gen. F. A. Bond of Hunters' Lodge, Moss Neck, was called on to make a short ad dress. General Bond told in an in teresting way of being in Portland, Maine, some months ago on a date when the Union soldiers were holding a reunion in that city, and how the Union soldiers went to him and invit ed him to their meeting and said when he entered the room where the Union soldiers were gathered the mu sic stopped, and he was ushered to the stag and almost forced to make a speech. He said that all the sol diers and all the great number of ladies present shook his hand, many of the Union soldiers remarking that he was the first Confederate soldier they had seen since the close of the war. He said that the way he was received and treated by those North ern soldiers made him feel that we are now one country undivided. Mr. L. R. Varser, of the law firm of McLean, Varser & McLean, was on the programme to address the camp at 11 a. m. By this time quite a number bad (fathered besides mem-. bers othe camp. Mr. Varser ,was Allister, who rightly assured his com rades and all others present that they were fortunate in securing the servi ces of Mr. Varser. Mr. Varser said in part that it was ever a pleasure to him to have the privilege of ad dressing a body of men who played so great a part in making themselves and the younger people of the South land famous. He called attention to the fact that the American people had ever been ready and willing to de fend their country or the rights of their States, and said that the soldiers of South were not fighting for free dom, but for States' rights and for principle. He said that though the South didn't win a victory over the! North, she didn't fail, as the South ern soldiers were fighting for princi ple. President Wilson, who 'is a Southern man, is conducting the gov ernment on a plan that was born in the Constitution of the Confederacy. Much honor, said the speaker, was due the mothers who staid at home and fought a great battle in providing for the children while the fathers were away defending States' rights. Mr. Varser told of going into the Soldiers' Home in Richmond and seeing the horse that General Lee rode into vic tory. Though this horse, which was owned and ridden by the greatest general the world has ever known, is dead, he is still preserved in the museum " there. He said he longed to see a monument erected to the grave of every North Carolinian who lost his life in the great conflict. He asked the question why was it that North Carolina sent 125,000 men to the front, more than any other State, and had less men to return home, and why was it that Robeson county sent 200 more than any other county in the State? He said the cause of this was that our people were a willing bunch that were ever in the front and therefore more of them lost their lives. He said that no people could boast of richer heri tage, of braver ancestors, than the people of the oSuthern States. Mr. Varser's speech was rich, to the point and greatly enjoyed by all who heard him. After Mr. Varser was through, all the Veterans and their wives pres ent were invited to the commissioners' room, where a sumptuoous dinner was served by ladies of Robeson Chap ter, U. D. C. There was plenty for all and much more was taken up than was eaten. Fifty-five veterans and 10 veterans wives partook of the din ner . The books showed that five Roheson veterans had died since the last memorial meeting was held May 10, 1913. Quite a number of the Daughters of the Confederacy spent the afternoon indecorating the graves of the sol diers who have been buried in the cemeteries in and about town . Manager Wishart of the Pastime 'theatre passed all the "boys" in to see the show, and they all seemed to enioy the day immensely. The Pope Drug Company furnished cool drinks Tor all the Veterans and the McDonald Drug Company served cigars to all that cared to smoke. A. G. Allen's minstrel show un der canvass drew a. large crowd to the show grounds neaf the power plant of the Yadkin River Power Company Saturday night. Those present say it was a clean show that made every body present laugh. Keep Bowel Movement R gvlar. Dr. King's New Life Pills keep stomach, liver and kidneys in healthy condition.

There was another special hearing Friday at Raleigh before the Corpora tion Commission in the matter of ex ception by the eSaboard Air Line to the recent order of the Corporation Commission as to the division of the rental and maintenance expense of a union passenger station at Lumber, ton. Some time ago the Commission made an order designating the Sea board passenger station as the union station and requiring the Virginia & Carolina Southern to build a track to this station, the Raleigh & Charleston being already a joint user of the Sea board station. The. Seaboard filed exceptions to the terms on which the Commission ordered that the V. & C. S. could have the use of the sta tion. The Corporation Commission has not yet rendered its final decision. Mr. R. C. Lawrence, of the firm of Mc lntyre, Lawrence & Proctor, local counsel for the Seaboard, and Mr. L. R. Varser, of the firm of McLean, Varser & McLean, representing the fV. & C. S., appeared before the Commission , Friday. It is not thought that there will be any real fight made against the order further than the protest which is now in the hands of the Commission.

Lamar and F. W. Lehman Will Represent United States in Conference With Mediators Noth ing Has Occurred to Interrupt Ne gotiations Four Newspaper Men Released. Wasington Dispatch, 10th. President Wilson received at the White House today Ambassador De Gama of Brazil ranking member of the' South American mediators who are trying to compose the Mexican situation. Neither ' the White House or the Minister would make any statement, but the receipt later of a dispatch from Mexico City stating that For eign Minister Ruiz had protested to the mediators 'that several United States torpedo boats with a transport and tender had landed a party on Lobos Island, eight miles off the coast the Ambassador's unusual visit to the White House on Sunday. The mediators had held an early conference preious to the Ambassa dor's call at the White House and this meeting on Sunday indicated de velopments of more tnan ordinary im portance. No information was ob tainable from the mediators or at the White House concerning Minister Ruiz's telegram but it was understood a reply had been made . The Navy Department had no information about vessels operating near Lobos Island. The call of tne mediators on the Secretary of State last night and their assembling for a Sunday morning meeting led to the belief that develop ments of the last 24 hours involved -omething more than preliminaries for the coming conference at Niagara Falls. .. It w.as Jpade, plain, however; at the White House conference that tothing had occurred to interrupt ne jotiations . Justice Joseph P. Lamar of the United States Supreme Court, and Frederick W. Lehman, of St. Louis, formerly solicitor, will represent the united btates in the conference. This bcame' known from an authoritative -ource tonight. A development of the day that served to relieve anxiety was new of the release of four newspaper cor respondents arrested at Mexico City Walter Whiffen of the Associated Press; Richard Harding Davis of The New York Tribune; Medill Mcuormick of The London Times, and A. J. Sut ton of The Washington Post. Word of the release reached the State De partment through the Brazilian Minis ter at Mexico City, and dispatches came al30 to the British, Spanish and Brazilian Ambassadors, each of whom h?d acted promptly in behalf of the American newspaper men .

Night Prowlers Around Hunter's Lodge Run Great Risk An Officer ana rosse sur-endered to Mr. Bond After One Shot. To the Editor of The Robesonian: Having at heart the good name of Robeson county and especially of Raft i'wamp township, l hae .ickea in their praise when I could and discrete - Jy hefd my tongue when I could not. This induced me to say nothing when a iew weens ago inieves stole ou v..,v.n..o miu 01, mo oaiuc time, attempted to break into my pan try. Mrs. Bond and myself were both awakened by the dogs and had firearms handy, but not thinking of thieves we took no action. Since then we have slept with one eye open and rather hoped we might have another chance. Well on Tuesday night we ed us, and without a word Mrs. Bond seized her shotgun and went to the back porch and I went to front one. For several moments all was still and then Mrs. Bond fired a shot and im mediately after demanded "What are you doing there?" "Come here at once!" I promptly changed position and found Mrs. Bond, gun in hand, covering three men, one armed with a long gun! It seems she saw the three men near the barn and waited to see what they were doing. When she saw two men enter the hay loft by a ladder and then a match struck up there, she thought it was time to act and fired one shot and demanded surrender. There was no hesitation and prompt earnest apologies were tendered, It seems to have been a countv officer and posse looking for a criminal! ur n . f rr wen air. umcer was taking some chance, for I .give WtfiSiMlf nnd anybody alter bed time entering my barn or chicken house I shall be most likely to fire straight first and accept explanations afterwards. FRANK A. BOND Hunters' Lodge, Moss Neck, N. C. Recital at Opera House. A delightful recital was given at the opera house Friday evening by Miss Julia R. Culbreth, contralto, and Miss Elizabeth Saloma Donaghy, reader, teachers of voice and expres sion, resepectively, at Carolina Col lege, Maxton, assisted by Mrs. H. M. McAllister of Lumberton at the pia no. It is a pity that a larger au dience did not greet these ladies and enjoy the excellent programme, which was rendered faultlessly. The recital was to have been given Thursday eve ning but was postponed on account of the weather, and the fact that it was not well advertised was no doubt re sponsible for the small audience. Misses Lalla Brownine and Olivia Cheatham, teachers at Carolina Col lege and Mr. Will Currie of Maxton came over Thursday evening in Mr. Currie's auto for the recital and Mr. Currie returned Friday evenine for the recital and carried Misses Cul breth and Donaghy back to Maxton rnday night. . Illicit Distillers Captured 'Fessed Up. Boyd Thompson and Lawrence Wilkes, 2 young white men, who live near St. Pauls, were arrested yester day morning just before day by Rural ronceman urn Townsend, Policeman W. P. Newton of tS. Paul's, A. H. Prevatt and Sheriff R. E. Lewis. Boyd and Wilkes acknowledged dis- tillihg liquor and offered to go with the officers to the still which they had been running, but when they ar rived the still was not there. How ever, there was plenty of evidence that a still had been operated at the place, as everything was there except the still to indicate that one had been in operation. They said somebody had stolen the still, as thev left it at the place to which they took the officers. Both Sykes and Thompson were placed in jail and will be given a hearing in the recorder's court just as soon as some of the State's witnesses return from Wilmineton. where thev are attending Federal Court.

Mr. Prevatt by side and his wife was pulling them ' to beat the band, while he was not ! doing anything but fish.
