C- Willing Workers Philathea Class of East Lumber ton Methodist Church Enjoyed Outing Royally Enter tained by Pastor and Members of spring Street Church of Marion Correspondence of The Robesonian East Lumberton, May 31 The "Willing Workers" Philathea class of East Lumberton Methodist Sunday school went on a picnic to Marion, S. C., May 27th. There are about t3 members in our class. A few did not go but we invited some more lad ies and several young men, making a total of 57 who did go. We had a special car with plenty of room and every one was in a jolly good humor, We talked, laughed and sang. We were served with fruit by our teach er, Mr. W. H. Humphrey, and before we got there the lunch baskets were opened and judging from the way their contents disappeared there were not any sick ones along. We were met at the train by Rev. M. McLendon, pastor of Spring St. M. E. church, Mrs. McLendon, Miss Alice McMillan, Mr. A. B. Boatright, Mr. J. U. Rowell and several oth ers whose names we failed to get. We formed in line and marched to Spring St. church. Then the pas tor gave a welcome address, which was responded to by our teacher. Mr. Humphrey. Then we had some sing ing, Miss Alice McMillan presiding at the organ. Afterwards an old fashioned handshake and get-acquainted smile. We were then served with delicious refreshments by the ladies of the church. Afterwards we again formed in line with Mr. J. V. Row ell in lead and visited the cotton mill, then the overall factory. From there over the town, which we think is very pretty. We were then taken to a drug store, where delicious cream was served to all, for which we again had to thank the Spring St. church. People talk about "loving your neighbors" the Marion people live the Golden Rule. Ihey made it a red-letter day for us and one long to be remembered . Among the new friends some of us found some old ones not to be forgot ten, among them Mrs . Madge Pow ers and Mrs. Rosa Currie. The lat ter is well known to most of us. Her home was formerly Lumberton . The time was all too short, and be fore we knew it our watches told us we must needs hurry to the sta tion, where the train was soon ready to leave. With an all-around hand shake, good byes and laughter, we were off on the home stretch.. The trii was made with the same good humor and every one declaring they never had a better time. Our motto is "Willinsr Workers". and if our Marion friends will come over they will find us willing to try to give them a good time . Hope they will soon put us to the test. MRS.

NOMINATION OF BRANDIES CONFIRMED BY SENATE F"ds One of Bitterest Contests Ever Waged Against a Presidential Norn wee Washington Dispatch, June 1. The nomination of Louis D. Bran de:'s of Boston, to the Suorem? Court t succeed the late Jose'ph Ricker Lamar was confirmed by the Senate today Dy a vote of 47 to 22. The vote, taken without debate, I;nded one of the bitterest contests ever waged against a Presidential nomi nee. Mr. Brandeis will be the first Jew to occupy a seat on the Supreme Dencn. Only one Democrat, Senator New lands, voted against confirmation Three Republicans, Senators LaFol lette, Norris and Poindejcter, voted with the Democratic majority, and Senators Gronna and Clapp would have done so but were paired with senators corah and Kenvon. The negative vote of Senator New lands was a complete surprise to the senate ana the .Nevada Senator, rec ognizing that his action had aroused comment, later made public a formal explanation. "I have a high admiration for Mr Brandeis as publicist an! nrona andist of distinction," said Senator Newlands. "I do not regard him as a man or judicial temperament and for that reason I have voted rgamst his confirmation." Throueort tb fivt Pesiden Wilson stood firmly behind his nom !"pp. never wavering, even when it pemed certain that an unfavorable enort would be retnrnd bv the Spp ate Judiciary committee. Before the committee voted' he wrote a letter to Chairman Culbron. stronely urging prompt and favorable action. The nomination of Mr, BranoW "as sent to the Senate January 28 Tt was referral to the Judiciary com mittee. and immediately a flood of nrott3 r "-i,nt.t confirmation and m Moria'1? in favor thereof began to nour in. - A sub-committee consisting of Sen ators Chilton, t letcher, Walsh. Cum mins and Works, appointed to report on the nomination, adopted the unus ual :xavs5-aw4if g .public hearings rniiora lnorne, ranroaa commission e r of- Iowa, was the first witness protesting against confirmation on the ground that Mr. Brandeis hr been guilty of unprofessional conduct in handling the o per cent rate ad vance case before the Interstate Com m?rce Commission. Sydney W. Win slow, president of the United Shoe Machinery Company, testified that Mr. Brandeis had bpn puilty of nn professional conduct in relation to his company, and shortly thereafter Aus ten G. Fox, a New York attorney appeared before the committee Jas the representative of 55 citizens of Boston, headed bv A, Lawrence Low ell, president of Harvard, and took charge of the opposition. Then United States District Attorney George W. Anderson of Boston, at the request of the committee, under took direction of the case for those favoring confirmation. WITH INDIANS IN GEORGIA Girl Shoots and Kills Sister Accident ally First Cotton Blossom and Corn Tasseung Correspondence of The Robesonian. Claxton, Ga., R. 1, May 29 As am a reader of The Robesonian, please allow me space in your paper to express a few thoughts. We have had an awful dry spring this time out this way, but we had some good rain during the past week and crops are looking fine. Mr. L. H. Revels, a farmer of this section has the honor of showing the first cotton blossom, which he found in his field this morning, and also his corn is tasseling. Conference will convene at Mt Zion church Saturday before the first Sunday of June. An awful . accident happened near here last Thursday when Mr. Eger ton's daughter, age 15. shot and kill ed her oldest sister Edna with a breech loading gun about 5 o'clock in the evening. The girl did not think the gun was loaded when she picked it tip off the bed and through i ioke pointed it towards her sister Edna and told her to throw up her hands and this Miss Edna refused to do. Then the girl with the gun, not knowing the gun was loaded, pulled the trigger, and the gun fired and killed her sister instantly. This was a great shock to the entire commun ity. The body was laid to rest in the Lotts Creek cemetery near States boro. A. J. JACOBS. THE THINKER Back of the beating hammer By which the steel is wrought, Back of the workshop's clamor The seeker may find the Thought The Thought that is ever master Of iron and steam and steel, That rises above disaster ' . And tramples it under heel! Back of the motor's humming, Back of the belts that sing, Back of the hammers drumming, Back of the cranes that swing, mere is tne eye which scans them Watching through stress and strain, There is the mind which plans them Back of the brawn, the Brain! Might of the roaring boiler, Force of the engine's thrust, Strength of the sweating toiler, Greatly in these we trust. But back of them stands the Schemer, The Thinker who drives things through; Back of the Job the Dreamer Who's making the dream come true! ' Berton Braley. HOW TO GET RID OF A COLD Read how C. E.

People's Garage DEMOCRATIC PROSPERITY ".Never in American History Hv Conditions Been So Favorable to American Businna and American Industry," Says MeAdoo Charlotte Observer. There will be general agreement with Secretary MeAdoo in his Ral eigh speech when he pictured tha prosperous condition of this country. It is exactly true, aa he says, that prosperity haa permeated every cor ner of tne United States and thai every line of business is pulsating with it. Every industry "is driving at the top speed of profitable activ ity". Labor is not only employed at the highest wages ever known, but the demand in ail parts of the coun try seems to be in excess of the sup ply. He was within bounds when he elkimed that "never in American his tory have conditions been so favor able to American business and Amer ican industry. The dinner pail is not on'y full but overflowing. And con trary to Republican claims, it is not the European war that is responsible for this condition. It was the re moval of the straight jacket in which the business of the United States had been cramped and limited by the old financial laws of the Republican par ty, laws that prevented the country from going the full limit of healt'.ful and legitimate expansion. Tha straight jacket gave way to th Fed eral Reserve act, "the most constine ive mearre placed on our rtitutj lot ks in a half century". It wai thU act which protected the country against a panic in 1914 and Mrl Me Adoo strikingly contracts it with the ineffectiveness of the Republican Ad rninistraton during the panic of 1907. The Secretary of the Treasury gives figures of the financitil condition of the country rnd of its resources that ho well clashes as "prodierioui and aim st unbelievable," but which better reflect the wide and deep and amiz m prosperity of the country. The quest or. in which the people . are mostly interested is if this prosper ity is permanent. Will it disappear at the conclusion of the war? Mr. MeAdoo puts up so strong an a.'u- Jjf mort that it h here to stay as to almost convince,, the Republicans, tlipnlspjr.es. lys analysis of con ' . tuKis in the Unitpd States and of the nossible economic effects of th wnr in F.urcpe places this matter in the liej't of the greatest assurance and rcuMy does cast shame on the fright and timidity people profess fo have nc-,iffc'tfd. It is in fact a discredit to the intelligence of the neopf-! f he Urited States, that, under condi-ir-ns Vnet will prevail at the close of the war, our economic safety and pros peritv will hC'Ve to fact the least, per il. The irss of war orders will a result lest felt. Mr. MeAdoo points out that the percentage of war order" as ontr'sted with the entir domestic an foreim commerce of he United States, "is insignificant". The orders that will come in from Eu rope for the restorative purpose of poaf'e. for the construction of ruin ed industries and citie, as well aw frr tre relief of the stricken markets of Germany and Autsria, will f" nv, ershadew in volume and value all the war orders that have been poured in to this country Anv wav it rnnv bt figured out, Amri"n prosperity in re to stw n"d this message that Secretarw MeAdoo Hves corniW in backed bv fe that will bear the rloest nveutirHon.

WHERE IT THRIVES A Peculiar Truth About the Mail Or der Business From The Monroe JournaL Now and then, and quite frequent ly, much complaint is heard about mail order houses taking out money. There will always be lome mail order business, for in the great fie; 1 of merchandise there are many articles which may not be found in every community. There are so manv hun dreds of things that people will buy when their attention is called to them that no local merchant can antici pate the fact and have the goods on hand. It would not pay him to have them lor the irregular demand. But the great merchandise staples in every line can alwavs be supplied W local merchants and the people wi'I buv from them in preference to mail order houses if the local merchants do their part. Merely cussing the mail order houses gets nowhere. Any town which has a bunch of live mer chants who are alert to attract their natural trade will not be troubled much bv mail ' order houses. Mr. Rosenfield of Sears, Roebuck & Co. is said to have stated at a recent meetiner of the American Ad. Club that his company makes a careful nurvey of the country to ascertain vhat communities are dead on the rdvertising pronosition and that, vhere local merchants are not adver tising in their town papers, right here is sent a Vnrxl r S-ir-Ro buck catalogues.
