ESTABLISHED 1870. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. COUNTRY, GOD AND TRUTH $U9 A YEAR. DUE IN ADYAMOE VOL XLVI. LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1915. NUMBER 04 FRENCH AND ENGLISH MAKE NOTABLE ADVANCES 20,000 Unbounded German Prisoners-; Taken in First Two Days' Drive Along Western Front British and French Carry Trenches Over Dis tance of 20 Miles Number of Guns Also Captured, r Press Summary, Twenty thousand un wounded Ger man prisoners and an unestimated number of dead and wounded on both sides is the toll taken in the first two davs' drive of the Anglo-French force3JjwhohaveJbegun a great-of fensive movement along the western battle line, which extends from the North Sea to the Swiss frontier. Two distinctive operations are un der way, one north of Arras and the other in the Champagne ' region', while there has been an incessant bombardment along almost the en tire front. Both the British and the French have been successful in carrying trenches extending over a distance of twenty miles and a depth varying up to two and a half miles. It is officially reported both from Paris and London that the advance is still being continued, and that the ground gained in a large measure has been held and consolidated. Berlin admits the retirement of the German forces at various points but minimizes the result of the en gagements. For several weeks British and French artillery have been pound ing fiercely and continuously at the German line. The forward move ment of the infantry began Saturday morning, when thousands of Allied troops threw themselves against the German trenches, in which, though battered and torn by heavv shells, the Germans waited, having long .expected the onslaught. 'Much of the fighting was at close range, hand-to-hand encounters being car ried Jn from trench totrench. -The heavv artillerv continued to pour forth a rain of heavy projectiles, i while aviators took the air to direct j the fighting and themselves engag - cd in manv combats In adition to having captured Sou- chez. a much disputed point of vant pge, the French have succeeded in forcing a passage of the great se ries of trenches land fortifications in Champagne, between Auberive and Villie Sur Toubre, driving the Ger mans to the second line of trenches, two or three miles to the rear. This offensive is still in nroeress. The British gains have been made to the north of Arras. They have taken the town""of Loos;" and the quarries northwest of Hulluch, and have compelled the Germans to draw in their reserves to check the ad vance. For the time being, the dramatic development of events in . the west have overshadowed those in the east ern theatre, where the Russians have stayed the progress of the Austro Germans at many points and have, apparently, succeeded in Retting themselves well in hand for further offensive and defensive operations. - The quick answer of Greece to Bul garian mobilization has probably been a factor in clearing the atmos phere with respect to Bulgaria's in tentions. The Bulgarian government '-as notified the powers that the mob ilization of thg Bulgarian army was ordered in the national interests, and that it was not intended as an of fensive measure. Individual members of the Bulga rian government also have express, ed themselves to the same effect. Nevertheless, both Greece and Ru ' mania continue to make ready for any eventuality. Jurors for October Term of Court ,At the last monthly meeting of the board of county commissioners they failed to draw jurors for the October term of criminal court which will convene Monday, October 4, on account of not having time.

Bullock, O. T. Lewis, E. H.. Wiggins, W. N. Me diae, N. F. Barden, Baxter Smith, Giles Davis, J. W. Elwanger, C. A. Oliver, W. K. Smith. Second week Condary Arnett, Ira Paul, Ernest Graham, T. L.

Hartley, bookkeeper in the offices of the Lumberton, Dres den and Jennings coton mills, under went an operation at the Johns Hop kins hospital in Baltimore Friday.

Movement Started by Members of Baraca Class of Baptist Sunday School It is Proposed to Use Old , Baptist Church Building. Members of the Baraca class at the First Baptist Sunday school have a move on foot to organize at Y. M. C. A. Arrangements have already been made for securing the use of the old Baptist church building, cor ner Fifth and Chestnut, to be used as a reception and reading room, and it is also expected that a gymnasium will also be established, asthere is ample room in the building for all. While the move was started by this .class, of which Mr. L. R. Varser is teacher, and while the building will be under direction of a governing board from this class, young men from other denominations, also young men who do not belong to any church or Sunday school, will be gladly wel comed as members. ' It would be hard to find another town as large as Lumberton where there is not a pool rpom or some place for the young 'men to "hang out", for which fact Lumberton is to be complimented. However, as some one has remarked, the town owes it to the young men to establish some place like will be maintained by the Y. M. C. A. if organized. This is a good move, and one that should appeal to every citizen of the town.

BLOCKADERS BOUND TO COURT George Allen Charged With Distill ing and Retailing Strong Evidence ' Introduced Reuben Parnell Awaits Trial in Federal Court at Laurin burg. George Allen, who lives in Howells ville township, was given a hearing before U. S. Commissioner W. H Kinlaw Friday afternoon on the charge of manufacturing ' and sell. i ngwithoutLlicense spiritouaJiquors. ne was bound over to the Federal Court under a $500 bond, which he made. As has been mentioned in The Robesonian, James G. Allen, brother of George, was recently bound over to the Federal Court under the same charge, it being alleged that both oeorge and James had been as sociated with Reuben Parnell, who 13 now in jail at Laurinburg await ing trial in the Federal Court which convened there today. He was re moved from the jail here and car ried to Laurinburg Friday. The star witness against George, Wesley Chavis, failed to show up, and it was rumored that the Aliens had made him leave. However, after some little time other witnesses whose evidence convicted George were found. Berry Baxley testified that one night during' the wee sma' hours he was going along the road and saw something coming that he failed to recognize, something of which he did not like the appearance, so he just dropped out 'side the road in the bushes and let it pass. He said that the thing he saw was George Allen carrying a whiskey still on his shoulder. He also testified that some man who was with George asked him where he was going to put that still and he replied in that bay over yon der. E. W. West also testified that while in the woods looking jifter some fire about the middle of the night "he heard something coming through the"woods rattling. He said the noise was going towards George Allen's. He also testified that one of the .crowd carrying the rattling noise, which he termed a still, re marked so he heard it that "He would be d if they could stop him from making it". About two hours later, which was about 2:30 a. m. he nassed George Allen's house and heard George putting away his mule. He said that the next morning, being anxious to learn more about that rattling noise, he went after daylight and traced the track of a cart from George Allen's house to a spot where he thought the still was carried from a bay near by and plac ed in the cart. He thought the noise must have been that of two stills. He also testified that lata he found a place in a bay near the home of Reuben s Parnelrs where a new well had been dug, a brick wall erected "id everything there but the still. Later he visited the same spot and found the still all set up and ready to run. He also found some rum. He said foe cam to town and told the officers about 'his find and a short time later a still was captured. : MEXICANS ATTACK TEX. TOWN Mexicans Troops Protect Bandits- American Soldier Killed.

He ate dinner, after arriving at home, then went to the home or. Mr. J. T. Barker, near by, and borrow ed a grass blade and told his moth er that he was going' to cut some weeds about the back yard. Before starting to work cutting the weeds he sharpened the blade, a younger brother helping him, Deceased st3rt. ed to work cutting the weeds some thing like twenty-five yards from the house and had only cut a small olace when a small sister heard him mak ing a humming noise, and looking saw him lying down on the ground, but thought that he had just lain down to take a rest. However, she went to him and took hold of him, and learning that something was wrong she called to a small brother, who went to the body and slightly moved it and called and when he failed to get any response he said -e only thought his brother was "putting on" to fool him. When he learned that the body was seeming 'v lifeless he called for his mother, who went to the body and called the young man by name, with no re sponse.
