Jno. M. Parker of Louisiana for Vice President. Col. Roosevelt wired that he declined to accept at this time and the matter was left to a committee who should accept his refusal if the position of Mr. Hughes on important national issues proves satisfactory to them, but in case they do not' they shall then act as seems best. .Some shrewd politicians think that Col.

Some issues back The Robesonian gave Barnhill s story to the effect that he was working at the Lumberton cotton mill in East Lumberton and that he was called out one night, taken , out a piece, beaten up by several men, ana oraerea to leave. He spent some time in a hos pital, as the result of the beating, he said. Barnhill swore out war rants against I. S. McManus. Will Long. John McManus, Pete Barnes and Frank Faulk, chargine them with beating him up. Barnhill was sup posed to be on a secret mission to entice help away from the mill, an offense that is calculated to arouse fierce aneer among mill men. Barnhill says he is a government detective and that now the local au thorities are through with the cae Uncle Sam will play his part. He says "the government will fight the case to a finish, usin- him only as a witness. He says h? was not try Jn? to indu.ee the mill operatives to leave, as has been charged, but was .here looking for a man and a woman at the time he was beaten up. THE DEATH RECORD Dr. Wm. M. Vines.

Shipping Irish Potatoes Melons Next Month While the Irish potato crop was cut in two hereabouts by the dry spring, potatoes were being shipped last week by Mr. W. G. Gilchrist, in dustrial agent of the Virginia & Car olina Southern Railway. Two car loads were shipped from Mr. J. A. Barker's place and one or two car loads from Mr. A. W. McLean's place near the Jennings cotton mills. From the latter place Mr. Gilchrist brought the editor of The Robesonian Friday some exceptionally fine potatoes.

This list is was exceeding bright. were not friends to the move. only revised every two years. Messrs. E. B. Freeman, C. B. Skipper, J. P. Stephens and W. Lennon, sang several beautiful and appropriate se lections before the sermon, which was one of the most powerful ever heard here. Royal Manhood .'What is Man ? Behold Jesus", Hebrew, second chapter and verses 6 and 9 ,was the text from which Dr. Vines preached. His subject was "Royal Manhood". In beginning his sermon Dr. Vines said that God made man in His own image and likeness, but now we have man not as God made him, but as sin has made him. Sin has degraded and debased man. It is through Jesus Christ man must be lifted up to po sition he held when first made by God. ' Royal manhood is Christian man hood," declared the preacher. Every man has within him the possibilities of Kingship and Royalty. Essentials of Royal Manhood Roval knowledge is the first essen tial phase of royal manhood. Second, royal power; tniro, royai mission, a. Christian has access to the secrets of God. Christianity teaches that God is. The great statesmen of our na tion have been Christian men. Pre ident Wilson is a devout Christian and Chas. E. Huhes, who last week was nominated by the Republican party, is a devout Christian. We are, there fore, sure of the fact that our coun try is now and will in the future be ruled by a man of God. Robert E Lee was a Christian. A royal man is one of power. He is a master. He has God's power in command. The power of God helps a Christian overcome sin. Lumberton'a Cleanness Commended Dr. Vines commended Lumoerton for its cleanliness, and urged upon the men of the town the importance of keeping it up to its present high standard. Keep it clean, pure and decent that the boys may gTOW up in a clean atmosphere. To be a royal man one must take ofonH fnr Christ and a stand against sin. We have but one life. We should live so we may have a clean record behind when we come down to die. The Royal Mission The royal mission of a royal man means that God calls men of that type to be fellow laborers in the vine yard. It is a mission to do some good in this world. A man cannot be a royal man and follow Christ with one hand and the devil with the othre. Why not live the life you will wish you had lived when you have to cross over the river? Live like you would want to die. God made man to live on earth for him and to live with him in heaven. In closing his sermon Dr. Vines urg ed his hearers to be royal men that they might have a royal destiny. Special Sermon to Parents Friday morning Dr. Vines preached n enorial sermon to parents. His text was: "For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me mv pe tition which I asked of Him. inere fore m'so I have lent him to the Lord; as long as he liveth he shall be lint to the Lord. And he worshipped the Lord there". 1st Samuel, 1st chap ter, verses 27 and 28. Importance of Eariy rfome Training In his splendid discourse the speak er emphasized the importance of ths early training of children. Samuel was given to Jehovah by his mother and he proved to be a great and use ful man. All through the Scripture you will find home training empha sized. The hope of the world is in J-the home. The human test of char acter is home love. Responsibility Cannot be Evaded The preacher asked the question, What are your children to be in this world and the world to come? and declared that it was a question which should concern every human con- .vell-attended meetinc of th Eleventh District U.

At several points the ataekine Rus sians have crossed the Ikwa and Styr rivers and further outh they are ap-nr-rhine' the Strioa river. The victories are attributed large ly to the avalanche of gunfire which swpDt awav dozens of lines of en tanglements and opened the way for the troops, who swept through in ir resistable numbers. In some places the Russians barrier fire cut off larsr" Austrian units, which surrendeied. This accounts for the large number of prisoners officially reported captured. 1726, which would make his coin 190 vears old, while "Uncle" Len s com is only 133 years old. Mr. and Mrs. M.
