given by experts. The road drag
seems to be a very simple instrument
but in reality, to obtain the best re
sults, considerable skill and experi
ence is needed in the handling of it.
It is hoped at this institute that
enough road overseers and supervis
ors will be instructed in the use of
the drag and other implements for
maintenance so as to reach every
county of the State: and that the
result w'll be that the mcney and
free labor which i now being used

b used to much better advantaee
than ever before and the road work

WAS IT LOrs WIFE?
One Guess at Answer to Rev. J. M.
FlemihffV Puzzling Question
Some Observations About Tohnrrn
- and Other Things
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Have looked over The Robesonian
hoping to find an answer to Rev.
J. M. Fleming's puzzling question.
"Who Was She?", but have failed
to. Undoubtedly it was Lot's wife,
for the last account wehave of her
"she was turned into a pillar of salt
fcr looking back." Hope some one
will give a . correct answer if I'm
mistaken.
Isn't it a mystery how people will
drink and take the name of the Lord
in yain and murder their fellowman
and steal or gamble and commit all
kinds cf crimes at Christmas times?
instead of singing Christmas carols
w'th a heart full of love for every
body, doing deeds of kindness to
make others happy on earth and in
heaven, too "for there is joy in the
rresenc of God with the angels ov
er c-r.e sinner that repenteth."
Am eted to see the fields green
with wheat, rye and oats, and I wish
every farmer would plant every acre
of. land in something that man or
bpist or dogs could eat or be a ben
efit some way instead of the old
poisonous weed with its horrid
worms. It's a pity to eive tobacco
and snuff to sweet little innocent
children and have the nicotine all
through their system before they
know the danger of the usless, expen
sivs and. filthy habit,ILJs a. com
mon thing to see yountr men and lit
tle boys jwith a ciparette in their
movitbjana hear them say "I can't
oit it". Mothers are to blame for
allowing it; Mv tenth son is six
tenths old and it would not be good
for me to see cne of my boys use
tobacco in any way, for I should
"beat him with the rod and spare not
for his crying". When there are so
many calls for money for so many ob
jects I think if all that is spent for
chewing, dipp'ne and smoking wis
given to charitable objects the needs
would all be supplied, and if we had
the love of God and zeal burnm?
in' onr hearts like Paul the whole
world would soon be evangelized.
May the Lord destroy all the old
fh its seed, and bless the
Kttftoi- cfnff nnd make 1916 the
Ket war of our lives and help us to

KEEP SCH00LH0USES
CLEAN,
The North Carolina Insurance Com
missioner Is of the opinion that dan
ger of costly fires could be reducea
if schoolhouses, at the end of each
term were left in a good, clean
condition. In' a statement for the press
just issued by Commissioner Young,
he says:
"Very frequently an Investigation
has shown that schoolhouses are not
in good condition during the vacation
period. It seems to be the ideaut
schoolhouses should be put In order
and cleaned up, etc., at the beginning
of each term, hut at the close of the
term it is all right to leave scattered
about in the building, piled up in
corners and stored in closets any kind
of material, such as we used in the
exercises and has accumulated during
the session. The result is frequently
a fire, started from spontaneous com
bustion or other causes.
"All school committeemen should
adopt the rule of seeing their buildings
are throughly cleaned and put in or
der at the close of the school term.
In this way many buildings will be
saved from burning.

Bad Cold Quicklv Broken Up
Mrs. Martha Wilcox, Gowanda, N.
V wrfos? "T firse used Chamber.
inin!! fniKrh Pptnedv about eirht
years ago. At that time I had a.
hrd cold and coughed mot of the
f;ne. It proved to be just what I
reeded. It broke up the cold in a
few days, and the cough entirely dis
appeared. I have told many of my
friends of the eood I received through
using this medicine, and all who have
used it sneak- of it in the highest
terms." Obtainable everywhere.-
It appears to be the fact that some
men cannot be trained by methods in
which discipline is not considered. If
you feel that your man Is worth it,
then you must discipline him when
you cannot reach him by other meth
ods. Discipline: Don't clout that man
over the head (figuratively). The Jaw
bone of an assr is no longer a useful
weapon. If you cannot reach that
tender spot, you ought not to be the
"man on the job." ThiB is the day of
human-ltarianism. Have a hrart-tc-heart
talk with your man. Drive home
the use of that guard. Cite an acci
dent the result Bring the lump to
his thr"t, the ,tear to his eye. That
is the kind of discipline that counts.
