MONDAY, NOVEMBER, 1, 1915
The Robesonisn has published the
proclamation of Governor Craig, set
ting apart November as Moonlight
School Month in North Carolina, also
a letter from State Supt. Joyner to
teachers explaining fully the plan of
the campaign for teaching adult il
literates.. Mr. J. R. Poole, county
superintendent of schools, says prep
arations are being made to open1
moonlight schools in several sections
of Robeson. It is understood that
Supt. R. E. Sentelle of the Lum
berton graded school is going to open
a night school for adult illiterates in
this township soon. This is a noble
work that should engage the earnest
..attention of all who are interested in
helping those who have not had the
chance to learn to read and write.
It is work that should not be left en
tirely to the teachers, who are will
ing enough and have volunteered in
great numbers for the work but who
are already overworked, in many in
stances. Many who cannot read and
write are excellent citizens. They
simply never had the chance. And
thereould be jicthingj iner thanto
be the instrument in striking the
scales from the eyes of these unfor.
tunate ones and thereby opening up
for them a wonderful new world.

At the clase of his lecture Sat-

of Brockton, Mass., platform mana

olina. By which we are persuaded.be right with us along this line, es
that Dr. HvHi. is a ma- w.n irnnra ! pecially if he knows the condition of
that Dr. Hyde is a man who knows
a good thing when he sees, it. Dr
hyd also complimented highly Mr.
F. A. Crabtree, manager of the
Thompson hotel, and said he hoped a
Icrger and finer hotel would be giv
en him to manage. And it is not
' fctrange that Dr. Hyde- discovered
further that Lumberton needs a bet

The esteemed Lumberton" Roojsun
ixn is an optimist, it sights the rift
in-thedouds. It denies thac the
sixih congressional dstrict, whicn ha-,
staged many thrillers, including a
series of fake conventions, is longer
known as the "bloody sixth". It hails
it as the "balmy sixth". But why not
the palmy sixth, estimated by the
incessanf and vigorous handshake ?
. Wilmington Dispatch, ;
Very good, let's call it the "palmy"
sixth until after the next primary,
when at least four good men and true
are going to get kicked down stairs;
and then The Dispatch may rename
it.

Friday, November 5, has been desig.

might well ombine ithat program

vc'u.and the readers of your paper
knew, it's a little unusual subjzet to
bring up thrc-ugh the newspapers,
yet it is a very important subject.. .
First I want to speak of .the road
leading out from Lumberton to Fair
mont. Well, no one coold hardly
peak cf this road in any manner
Txcept to say. it's in rood condition.
Second, the road leading out to Row
nd and Pembroke. These roads are
ft ecod conctitfon. ' Third, -the road

' Vi"il h v the ihlin irr.)
the' chain gr.ritf, w Ui
soon be one of the best roads In th i
county Well, look at al! ether, roa'U
leading out from Lumberton aaJ you
will -fmd every one in fair condition
except oae. ' This is the road leading
out to Whiteville, Bladenboro, Clark
ton and many other places which it
runs-near--DyrmaKing-ii-inenearcav
route to travel, this rOad being
irwn as the Whiteville road.
wis, tn sav this road is th sorriest
road throughout Robeson county that
is used as mucn as tnis, me wnue-
v:lle road, is usedc This road is
kept up fairly well down about one
mile from town. It just stays by it
self so far as work concerns there
on. wny aoni u Ret wumeu
Drn't the teon!e through this sec
tion pay any road .tax? " Are they
not enuueu io me ucucj.iv i m
tax money, or at least a part of .it?
If so, we would sure be glad to get
our road looked after better-than it
is. If the money that is paid each
year by the people throughout this
section of the county could be used
on the roads through the same sec
tion, as it might be, we would have
better roads than we ever .had. There
we are helping to keep up the chain
ganjr to biyjrMn other sections
of the county but fet no benefit ofj
it ourselves. We all know this is
unfair. Will you show me one town
ship in Robeson county, except Wish
arts, that's never had the use of the
chain gang in no way? We pay our
road tax, but that't all; we certainly
don't get any roads by it.
I was just reading the Morning
Star an item entitled "Drowned in
a Mudhole," where one Mr. Esdras El
more, a " well-known farmer of Le
noir county, was drowned Jn a mud
hole in the road Saturday afternoon.
This paper stated that when Mr. El
more was returning home from La
Grange, he had an epileptic fit and
fell from his buggy i na mud hole in
the road and later was found drpwn
ed. Well if such an awful thing as
this occurs in Robeson county you
lust as well say it occurred on the
Whiteville road for there are many
nlarea suitable for it' on this road.
I would like to have the sentiment
of the people through this section
nn this rmestion. I am sure Mr.
this road. . a TAX PAYER.
Lrmbcrton, R. 5.

We shall be glad to publish com
munications from any who want to
discuss roads. This is an important
subject that ought to interest every

When one is suffering from back

ness, sharp pains, sore muscles, and
stiff joints it is not always easy to
locate the source of trouble, but nine

overworked, weakened or diseased
kidneys. Foley Kidney Pills

ers. Sold everywhere. . , '
