PAGE TWO FAIRMONT DEPARTMENT REV. W W. WILLiS, Editor and Manager. Local News Hems in Brief Form w a r.riffin of route one iur. ' r, Fairmont was the first to pay A us SI 50 on subscription to The Rob nnin Who will be next? Messrs. O T. and A. W. Harring pd'ii Mill. S. C. were in IUI1 VI - ' - town one day last week on business Both are good men. On our streets a few days ago were Mr and Mrs Robert McMillan or flic Donald. Mr. McMillan is cashier of th bank at the above-named place. Messrs. John Hughs and Taylor l:v,.- f Pa rift on were amone us for a short while last week. Come again, gentlemen, glad to have you call Mrs. Nettie Ashby, who has been in bad health for quite a while, left on Fridav for a hospital in Char lotte. Our sympathy is extended and we hope for early improvement in her condition. Mr. Thomas Walters, on route one from Fairmont was 94 years old on Fridav the 2fith tultimo. Mr. Wal ters lives with his son, Mr. Richard Walters, three miles from here and walks to town for a shave any time he pleases. Mr. George Thompson of Lumber ton was a business visitor to our lit tle city a' few days ago. Mr. W. L. Kyle has just return, ed from Augusta, Ky., where he has "made good". We are glad to see "Rilly" back among us to scatter sunshine, which he always carries in stock. Miss Flora Gibson is on an extend ed visit to relatives and friends near Maxton. She has been away since about Christmas. - , Mr. Charlie Burns who lived with Mr. Alex Parker, died on the 4th, inst. Mr. Burns had been in bad health for some time. He was hur ried at Pleasant Hill church, S. C. Mr. V. H. Taylor and "wife have returned home after a pleasant vis it among relatives near Bellamy. We are gjad to have them back among us again. Messrs. L. C. Brady and Roy Wil liams of Dillon, S. C., were among the visitors last week. Messrs Robert Bullock and II. I. Sti'bbs each is erecting a lmiltlintr on il'ttman street. That's right, gen tlemen, and if you will be in ahurry you will have the buildings done when the war closes, regardless of hard times. Mr. J. R. Cobb, whose visit to Maxton was noted in the locals of last week, informs us that he has installed a "Cobb's Cola" bottling works at Maxton for Mr. J. W. El wanger. After meeting a goodly number of the business men of Max ton, he returns home much pleased with the people and place. Mr. Cobb informs us that a little later on, he expects to advertise some in The ftobesonian. Our Motto. When the other fellow is doing the talking, we listen. When two talk at the same time, we remain perfect ly quiet, but not altogether at ease. When a half dozen or more are all talking at "one time" we wonder who on earth could tell the (truth about what was being said. To pull off a sleeping "bee" would be prefer able then, there would be nothing to report but the snore and the biggest tie that can be told on snoring neve rdid much harm. Mr. C. E. Casky, traveling audi tor for the A. C. L. was here on Monday night checking up the Fair mont office. He finds our effici ent agent, Mr. E. Fisher, one hun dred per cent correct in all accounts. We are sorry to learn that Mrs. J. P. Brown is not feeling so well for the last few days. We enjoyed her Florida letters very much. We took a part of the same trip last summer. "When Will the War Close?" Who knows? The man is not liv ing today who can answer the above question with any degree of intelli gence. Of course, men are entitled to their opinions, therefore, some say it may continue for years, while oth ers predict that the early spring will be the limit. Our perdiction is that by July the fourth, peace may be declared and the dark clouds that now overshadow the civilized world will break away. Why? If the re ports received through the press are true or partially true, Germany is getting into a close place. With food supplies largely cut off, and the fighting strength gradually weak, ening day by day, and the resources for recruits becoming limited, how can it be possible for the war to con tinue indefinitely? However, should the present war be a war of prophe yv which may be probable, then there is no telling how soon the un expected may develop, and all the world become involved - If the readers of this will refer to the 25th chapter of Jeremiah, and read closely and carefully, they will find a world-wide war predicted by the prophet most explicitly. First, the Jewis are rebuked for their idol atry. Prophets had been sent to them to warn them -of-the" coming wrath should they fail to repent and turn to the living God. Failing in this, the Babylonish captivity is predicted, which was literally fulfilled. In the 12th verse the king of Babylon and that nation and the "Land of the COLDS An up-to-date remedy for colds. That is what Peruna is. In successful use over 50 years. Colds are caught In many ways: Illy ventilated rooms; rooms that have direct draughts ; crowded rooms; damp houses; stuffy school rooms; offices illy heated. A dose of Peruna at the right time, at the first symptom of cold, before the bones begin to ache, before the sore throat manifests itself, or the cough, or the discharge from the nose, just a dose or two of Peruna before these symptoms begin is gener ally sufficient. But after the cold is once established with the above symptoms prominent, a bottle of Peruna, or maybe two, will be necessary. "For several years I have been troubled with colds at each change of season, I took Peruna and have not been troubled with the slightest cold this entire season." Mr. Harry Fisher. 1928 Mosher St., Balti more, Md. "I grivo the children Peruna If they have a cold, and It alnays relieves thorn." Mrs. I. D. Hayes, 1937 Druid 11111 Ave., Baltimore, Md. "When I feel a cold coming on I take a little Peruna, and It does me pood." Mr. Charles a Many, 12 Water St., OsHinlnK, N. Y. "No family should ever be without reruna, for It Is an unfailing cure for colds." Mrs. M. F. Jonas. Bura ing SprtnRS, Ky. Chaldeans" were to be made a per petual desolation. AH tms has been done in the centuries past. In the 29th verse of the same chapter, it is said "For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by 'my name, and should ye be utterly un punished". This refersr to Jerusa lem as "the city called by my name", nd the prophet is speaking to "All the inhabitants of the earth," as we find in the following verse. In the 2nd verse, we read, "Thus sayeth the Lord of hosts, Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation and great whirl-wind shall be raised p from the coasts of the earth and the slain of the Lord shall be at that ay from one end of the earth even nto the other end of the earth; they shnll not be lamented, neither gather ed nor buried, they shall be dying upon the ground." We cah see a similarity between this prophecy and the conditions of things prevailing in the present war. But the war is not yet world- wide. It is not extending from "one end of the earth, even unto the other end of the earth," as the prophet pre dicted, but when we cast a glance at the unsettled conditions now pre vailing among the nations at large, we see the possibility of the ful fillment of this prophecy. Japan and China seem to be at "swords "point". Japan is making demands upon China which are too far-reaching in their character to be accepted without great humiliation to China. Then when we turn to our own coun. try, we have Mexico to deal with and there is no telling how soon armed intervention will become necessary, if the United States maintains her dignity. In conclusion, let us hope for the better under all circumstances for the God of Nations still rules. W. W. HERE AND THERE The Robesonian Makes a Hit in It" Fairmont Department Comment and News. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Lumberton, R. F. D. 5, March 9 If our good friend Mr. W. K. Cul- breth would read a copy of Polly anna, furnished by The Chirstian Her ald of New York, he would doubtless write a more encouraging letter for The Robesonian. We greatly apreciate brevity be cause some one has said, "Brevity is the soul of wit." But when we are reading the Knes penned by such luminous and versatile writers as "Snyder" and "Aunt Becky we want them to say more and then some. The Robesonian has made a good hit in its new Fairmont Department, and especially in commanding the services of Rev. W. W. Willis in its conduct. No other than he within the realm of our acquaintance is bet ter fitted to conduct such a depart ment, and being so well known throughout Robeson his contribu tions each week will be read with much interest. A distinguished professor of as tronomy once told us that the more we learned about astronomy the less we would know about the weather. The gentleman was right so far as we know, because sometimes when they tell ; us well have fair weather behold it rains and interferes with our church services. We would not be particular about mentioning the church services but for the fact that no other activity suffers so much on account of bad weather. Anent the Legislature, perhaps most of the members are glad to re turn to their respective homes where they can enjoy the quietness of their domestic felicity Some of the laws enacted are wortn much, while some may be worth little. We deplore the awful tragedy which cost the life of Speaker Woot en and Mr. Aycock. . It need be no surprise that Judge DAVIS DENOUNCED Senator Jonas Delivers Scathing De nunciation of Superintendent of Anti-Saloon League. Raleigh Cor., 8th, Charlotte Observer. In the midst of Senate proceedings this evening there was a sensational personal privilege incident when Sena tor C. A. Jonas, speaking for himself and the seven Republican Senators, delivered a scathing denunciation of Supt. R. L. Davis of the State Anti Saloon League, which was voted by the Senate to be spread upon the Journal of the Senate as a perman ent record. Mr. Jonas said: "The Sunday newspapers carried an article signed by R. L. Davis, su. perintendent of the North Carolina Anti-Saloon League, containing this statement: 'The House passed it (the Grier liquor bill) 103 to 7; it was re ported by the Senate, committee with out prejudice but was defeated by the solid vote of the seven Republi cans and some Democratic friends of prohibition, who voted for an amend ment to submit the bill to a vote of the people. The Senate afterwards passed the amended bill 43 to 5.' "The above statement is not only deliberately untrue, made with the malicious intent to injure and cast odium upon me especially and also upon the other six Republicans on this floor, but it is an attempt to make cheap political capital out of a moral question. This man cares noth ing about the fact that every Senator on this floor lost sleep and time and effort to do his duty. He states that the committee reported the bill with out prejudice but does not state that it was a Democratic, committee and that 10 of the 11 members at the first meeting opposed the bill. He delib erately leaves the impression that the Republicans voted against the bill when he knows that this is not true. Nineteen as good Democrats as there are in the State and seven Republi cans did vote for the amendment to let people settle the question but on the passage of the bill, not one of the five adverse votes was cast by a Republican, yet Mr. Davis says we defeated the bill. He says in effect that the five Democrats who voted against the whole bill are friends of prohibition, but that the seven Re publicans who voted for it are not. "The injustice of this attack is ap parent to any reasonable man who knows the facts. It can only do in jury among those who do not know the facts and the true character and methods of the, author. ' "Mr Davis does not inform the public that his presence on this floor had become so obnoxious to Senators that he was removed from the bar of the Senate by a motion made and adopted. "He slanders the House and con ference committee by intimating that he controlled both. If that be true, he gave the people of the State the privilege of using legally a million and a half gallons of whiskey and twenty-four million gallons of beer annually for beverage purposes rath er than allow them to have prohibi tion if they want it. The liquor deal ers surely must be satisfied with his work. Yet I do not reply to him in kind and say he is not a prohibition, ist. I know he is one at least $390.81 worth. But I do say that his attack is not endorsed by the prohibitionists of the State, of whom I am one. Seven Republicans out of 50 Senators and those seven all voted for the bill, yet they defeated it says Mr. Davis and he calls himself the "voice of God." This And Five Cents DONT MISS THIS.

The Senate discussed, and gave, yesterday .morning an additional ap propriation of $5,000 to the Home for Confederate .Women. The $5,000 additional given- the ladies yesterday will go towards the erection of a home for worthy widows of Confedearte' soldiers and their de scendants. The Legislature of 1913 appropriat ed $10,000 for this home. It was sup posed to carry a $5,000 annual main tenance fund also. The $10,000 was given ,the ladies by the 1913 Legis lature but by some misunderstand ing they did not get the money from tne treasurer until recently. The ad ditional $5,000, together with $1, 350 to be raised by the U. D. C., will all go towards the construction of a home for those sadly needing it. The building will accommodate 65 in mates. The late Colonel Ashly Home was the first chairman of the board of trustees of the home. The institu tion for which plans are now drawn, will represent many years' efforts on the part of the U. D. C. when it is completed. That there is a decided need for such an institution was freely emit ted even by those Senators who op posed the increased appropriation. Their opposition was based solely on the grounds of economy. The cntract for the building will be let very shortly, now, and,, there are more than enough worthy wid ows of Confederate soldiers waiting to fill it. It will be erected at Fay etteville. Rheumatism Yields Quickly to Sloan's I iou can't prevent an attack of Rheumatism from coming on, but you can stop it almost immediately. Sloan's Liniment gently applied to the sore joint or muscle penetrates in a few minutes to the inflamed spot that cause0 the pain. It soothes the hot, tender, swollen feeling, and in a very short time bring,, a relief that is almost unbelievable until yotu ex perience it. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment for 25c of any Druggist and have it in the house against Colds, Sore and Swollen Joints, Lumbago, Sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief. Tribute to Confederate Veterans. News and Observer, 6th: A resolution by Mr. Wall of Rock ingham requested that all living Con federate soldiers and widows of Con federate soldiers living in the State of North Carolina forward their names to the State Auditor and that official publish on January 1st, next, a list of these, together with the name of the company and regiment they belonged to, also a list of Con federate pensioners in the State. Mr. Wall spoke feelingly for the former followers of Lee and said that in a few more years, where there are now nine or ten Confederate soldiers in the House there would be none, all of them would have crossed over the river and "rested under the shade of the trees" with the immortal Jack son. The resolution was adopted and on motion of Mr. Wall .a special mes senger selected from the Confederate veterans of the House was sent to the Senate with the resolution. Speaker Bowie appointed as these messengers Wall and McBryde. Senate Against Land Segregation The Senate Friday night by a vote of 17 to 15 voted down the bill of Ma iette of Tyrrell to submit to a vote of the people the constitutional amendment calling for race segreca tion in land ownership.
