FLOYD SERMON ON JUSTICE -The following from two papers pre- 'VentVeX2i!it. profitable to meditate upon. The Greensboro Re- , cord observes: "When a helpless nigger, a hu man being who hasn't the intelli jrence of his superior brother, goes wrong, the rule is'to find him guil ty and sentence him to the roads. Ho one cares much about it. It seems Tto be quite the proper thing to send him on. But when a white man, one who is of good family, one who knows betterthan "to transgress the laws, goes into schemes to violate the rules of society and transgress the law, the town thinks, because lie is of good family, it is terrible to say anything about him.' The one ytho knows better and does wrong is not entitled to as much sympathy as the man who does wrong because he doesn't know better. But it is a queer old world." And to this the Statesville Land mark adds: He who knows his duty and does it not shall be beaten with many stripes, while he who; falls be cause of his lack of knowledge should be beaten with few stripes. But the great mapority seem to excuse a man who is intelligent and prominent, when he goes wrong; and because the majority seem to look at it that way the administrators of the law stultify themselves; and thus the in fluential escape their just deserts while the ignorant and the lowly, who have no friends at court, get more than is justly their due. We all know it is wrong, but the power that influence brings saves the day for the influential while he who has no influence gets all that is coming to him and sometimes a. trifle more. Talking about it serms to do no good, but we're of the opinion. that in the Great Dav of Final Accounts those who have condoned the sins of the higher ups solely because they wre m?f!T re while the lowly and friendless have been given full meas ure, heaped un and. running over will find that the Judg; of All the Earth does not administer the law that way in His court. "'Plate sin wih gold "and the strong lance of Justice hurtless breaks; Arm it with rags. pigmy's straw will pierce it.'

C. Bishop, 215 South Thirteenth street Wilmington, N. C, to the Tanlac Man. "I was sick for ten years "before taking Tanlac," she continued, "ev en though, I doctored right along Food caused gas accummulations and pains around my heart and left side. I oould eat but little and had to take purgatives almost continually. Then too, I was troubled with pains in my kidneys and was run-down and very weak. ' "Friends recommended Tanlac and I got it.

J Lumberton, R. 6, July 4 The 4th of July , is here with so much rain it will be a long time before farmers can complain about the drought agan. But they will have to keep uP'ebattlejwiththe grass a. while longer yet, for it seems .like it does want possession of every plantation. The pastor Rev. W. R. Davis, filled his regular appointment at Raft Swamp Saturday and Sunday. Sorry indeed ihiit we missed his good ser mon Saturday, for we miss a heap when we miss one of his sermons. He preached an excellent sermon on faunday. His subject was "Deep .Sea Fifhing', from the text, "And Jesus said unto Peter, launch out in to the deep and let down your net for a draught" And Peter took the same old net that he was mending and obeyed,-after having toiled' all night and catching nothing. He did not wait to get a new net, just sim ply obeyed, using what he had and caught such a draught that the nets were uruKcn. now many are wan ing for a college education . some one thing and some another, while the souls of men are dying and the Mas ter calls for you ? We found our son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Mclntyre, here when we came from church, waitine to take us with them on Ten Mile to see old Brother Charles Townsend and other relatives there, a distance of 15 miles. Floyd and myself pr.d three children, Lois, Eu nice an 1 Kesler Greaves, went with them, and it began to rain before we reached Lumberton and kept on get ting harder till it just poured most all the way there. The water was standing in the fields till it looked like a pond. But we enjoyed it, any way, . It had been over 20 years since I was there on a visit before. Frank was my 6-moriths old baby then and he was 21 April 17, last, and over 6 feet talF now, and it will be a year tomorrow since he left to attend the did veterans' reunion at . Row land and never returned. He rnlisted with the U. S. S. Arethusa for $30 and board per month, then $35 and later $40. and they'll raise his wages again to $48 a flame, I sink in sweet rapture at Jesus name. Come angels, come angels, I'm ready to fly, come quick ly convey me to God in the sky, Farewell my dear sisters the Lord bids me come, farewell my dear brothers I'm now going home." I committed this to memory in mv chfidsiood dhys from mothers -old Freewill hymn book, and I have my father's old leather-bound Bible now and no money could buy it. I've read it through 2 or 3 times and com mitted many chapters to memory, prize it above all earthly IposseS' sions. It was what inspired him to build White Pond church and the last time I was there at children's day and. saw his grand-children re citing and singing so beautifully I whispered to mv nephew from rair mont and said, "If your grandfather was here today to see the children like we do he would be well paid for all i his toil in 'hewing the sills - with his . broad ax and building , 'true citirch." "AUNT SOPHIA BASEBALL: CAPE FEAR LEAGUE Fayetteville Took Two Games from Lumberton Last Wek Fairmont Comes Here Tomorrow and Wed nesday and Lumberton Goes to 'Parkton Thursday and Friday Standing of he Clubs Reported for The Robesonian. Fayetteville took two games from Lumberton at the local park Thurs day and Friday, the first by a score of 7 to 4, the second 3 to 1. xne visitors had been considerably strengthened but the locals, , never theless, should have won both , con tests. The first was tossed away on infield errors after a good lead, had been scored. The second was a pitch ers' battle between Stone and Rivers. Stone slightly outpitched his -opponent, allowing three hits to his iive,but his own wild throw to first base in the opening f rarat cost him the game. Fairmont comes here Tuesday and Wednesday and Lumberton goes to Parkton Thursday and Friday. These serie will be the most crucial of the season as the fate of the first half pennant hangs on their outcome. The locals hope to win at least three of the four with a little better break of luck than they got last week. The scores cf Thursday and Fri- dav follow: - R. H.
