And in this connection the fact may be cited, that the relations between the United States and Japan have not been the most cordial in recent years. The Jap school question on the Pacifis Coast was not settled to the satisfac tion of the Mikado's advisers; the Magdalena Bay incident left a bad tict in t.hpir mouths, and the wida. spread distrust of Japan in'the Unit, ed States and of the United Statas in Japan furnish circumstances that sre disquieting.

J. P. McNeill, a son of Bladen county, who is now practicing law at Florence. S. C. Mr. McNeill is brilliant speaker and held his hearers spell-bound. He said in beginning that he didn t intend to take a sub ject, but wanted to make a heart to heart talk and that was just what he 4id. He paid high respects to Red Springs and Robeson, which he almost claimed as his native land, and also took occasion to say some pleasant things about Robeson s capital, Lum Cocn.CluL SchooI--D.

It is more than probable how ever that England knows exactly how the United State's feels about the mat. ter and that Japan is no less wise upon that point. If Japan's motive is merely that of support for a nation with which it is allied; if their campaign is to be con fined strictly to an attack upon Ger many's holdings in China, and if there is no purpose of Japanese aggrandize ment at the expense of other nations interested in China, then it is quite likely that the United States has no ground for interference. At all events war in the Orient will not be a welcomed eventuality from the viewpoint of the Washington ad ministration, and will not tend to make the position of the United States any easier to maintain. his home. Mr. Stacy mentioned many things that go to make Robeson the most desirable place to be found in which to live. After Mr. Stacy entertained his hearers well for some time, Dr. I. W. Hill, of the Department of Agricul ture, was called on for an address, the corn club boys having come over from Philadelphus to hear Dr. Hill. Dr. Hill said that he was not fortun. ate enough to have been bom in Robe son county but his ancestors were Tar Heels, of which he was proud. His was an agricultural address, and one worth while. He said that corn club boy of today would have much to do in making the South of tomorrow, in making the South what she is entitl ed to be. He said that there are 91,. OOOmembers of boys corn clubs in the South and 33,500 girls members of tomato clubs.

By affixing his signature to the charter of the North Carolina Curren cy Association Secretary of the Treas ury McAdoo today made available in North Carolina $5,600,000 for the re lief of the banks and cotton and to bacco farmers. The money, however, according to A. W. McLean and W. A. Hunt,, who were here today confer ring with treasury officials and Sena tor Simmons, must come through the national banks direct. When the Federal system is organ ized, however, State banks who join this system will be placed on a par ity with national banks. Just now according tothe bast information ob tainable, they must borrow their mon ey through the national institutions. The rouble was that while the amendments to the Aldrich-Vreeland act which passed Congress granted the right to the State banks and trust companies which would agree to come into the Federal reserve system the right to issue currency under the terms of the Aldrich-Vreeland plan, a much older law was not repealed. This law provided that any State banks, which issued currency, should be taxed 10 per cent by the national government for the privilege, which would make it rather unprofitable for the State banks to issue much cur rency, even under the Aldrich-Vreeland act. This old law was not repealed by the amendment to the Aldrich-Vreeland act passed by Congress. DON'T FORGET to attend our grand Tailor Opening, Fri day and Saturday, August 21-22.

He contin vec: "In some instances the cotton crop is as fine as we have ever had, while in others the dry weather has serious ly damaged it.

Busi ness is moving along all right, our people are, as usual, in a good condi tion. You can just say that Robeson is all right, and that win cover the whole matter, letres are not teaching the boys how to make a living. There is quite a bit of difference between a farmer and a planter, there being many planters, but few farmers. He advised the par ents not to spoil a good farmer to make a sorry lawyer. He assured his hearers that there was as- much cul. ture in potato roots as there was in Greet roots, saying he had studied both. He appealed to the farmers to raise plenty of corn, saying it, unlike many things, furnishes food for both man and beast, and urged them also to keep books' and by doing so be in position to know whether or not he is making or losing on a certain crop.
