PRFSS CONVENTION Entered as second class mail matter, The North Carolina Press Associa- at" the post-office at Lumberton, N, Cjtion has never been entertained more ' " j delightfully, at least during the past m,T T.h'rva i9 y3rs, which is as far back as the SUBSCRIPTION RATES Lprsf)Wal kriow,efl 0f the editor of $1,501 One year Sue Months . Three Months .75' .40 We hope none of our readers will itfiss reading the entertaining story told in this issue by Judge Z. T. Ful more of Austin, Tex. A history of Methodism in North Carolina with out that story would be incomplete. And certainly no history of Robeson would be complete without it. Don't fail to read about how "Brother Mc," whipped the blacksmith. "Snyder" makes the timely obser vation that we should congratulate ourselves upon living in a county in which there is so little loss from freshets or cyclones. North Caro lina is a favored State, rarely suf fering loss from storms such, as in fHrtU such losfupon portion of . - Mm.. Robeson seems blessed above most other counties in that it escapes when other sections of the State suffer. While deeply sympathizing with those ho have suffered loss we., should return thanks that we have escap ed. . . In his letter in this issue Rev. J. M. Fleming refers to the report of the last grsnd jury on the county home and' suggests that the keeper of the county home should be paid a larger amount in order to enable him to provide properly for the in mates under his care. It seems to The Robesonian that the county com missioners were on the right track some time ago when they set out to sell the present home and purchase a farm. But however the problem is solved, it is certain that something should be done to provide better quarters and more adequate support for the unfortunate ones who have to seek this haven of refuge: Commenting upon the fact that some men, for lack of common sense, work and fret themselves to death, "Snyder" points to President Wilson as a remarkable example of a man who 'knows how to hold himself in hand , and get the most out of his powers. He has indeed learned the lesson Tennyson expressed in the lines "Self knowledge, self reverence, self Control these three alone , lead life to sovereign power". Snyder has' been impressed with President Wil son as have thousands of others. He says: "Take him all around and he ia hir fr Mia mnst remarkable man this country has ever produced, and is by far the ables: President ever had." , we, ! was an address, not on the regular Considerable damage was done , programi by Dr.Delia Dixon Carroll of crops in Robeson by the unprecedent-1 Raiejg;,t 0ri woman suffrage.

"At this time when infantile pa ralysis, or poliomyelitis, is spread ing so rapidly in different parts of the country, it is vitally necessary," says the State Board of Health, "that the people of North Carolina shouVi know something of the char acter of this disease which may,t any time become an epidemic among our people. 1 "Infantile paralysis is mainly a disease of children which often ends fatally or proceeds to permanent pa- ralysis or malformation. The means by which it is spread is unknown, but from the way in which cases have occurred in New York and oth er cities, it is highly probable that personal contact is the prevailing Eource and that adults, parents or relations who have no outward signs of affection may be carriers as well as acute, mud or dismissed cases The house fly is suspected as a car rier, also. It must not be forgotten that infantile paralysis is a more dangerous disease than diphtheria for the reason that no special organ ism has been isolated a3 a cause of the disease and we cannot tell when a person is infected. "Persons will recognize however, where there are reported cases, the importance of keeping their children nway from picnics, outings or gather ings of any kind where there will be intermingling of children. A" close watch should be kept upon all chil dren of susceptible age, which is un der ten years. A few points to be remembered in f'-'lfr to prevent the spread of this 'i.rnse are: Immediate mpdical at fntion should be obtained for chil f' en wjth unusual fever, symptoms cf headache, vomiting, intestinal ir . j ; Itching, torturing skin eruptions disfigure, annoy, drive one wild.

Caressinjr and kissing children by friends or strangers is probably a factor in speading this disease as is the exchanging of toys, candies and fruits with other chil dren. Homicide in Guilford Counly John R. Stewart, one of the most prominent citizens of Guilford coun ty, formerly of Greensboro, was shot And fflt.nllv wnnnrln1 nf Kia : hsiivia iast Saturday evening as he was milking a cow by Jerry A. Terry, owner of an adjoining farm, where ne i;ve4 Stewart died a few hours later without regaining conscious ness. He was shot in the presence of his wife. Terry went home and after saying a few words to his wife shot at himself twice, one ball go ing wild and the other inflicting a scalp wound, not serious. He was arrested and taken to jail. Terry has a wife and 8 children. Stewart was connected with some of the most prominent families of the county. His wife was Miss Phipps of Greens boro . There had been trouble between the two men for sometime. Stew art was the owner of a 'mill and a distant relative, Robert Stewart, was the miller. A few months aero Ter ry accused Stewart, the miller, of stealing $50 from him. Instantly the Stewarts demanded proof of the charjre. Terry finally took out a war rant for young Stewart but when the day for the hearing came Terry was gone. Later he returned tp the county and was served with papers in an action for malicious prosecu tion. This cost Terry about $700. John Stewart was active in the case and it rankled in the breast of Ter ry. . . FOLEY KIDNEY PILLS f0 BACKACHE KIDNEYS AND BLADDER
