Fairmont, Aug. 17 Tuesday was a record day for the Fairmont tobac co market. The number of pounds snlrf was 215.000 and it brought $39,- 564. While this was not the largest number of pounds ever sold on the market here in one day it sold for more money than has ever been paid out for tobacco here in one day. Judging from the above facts one can readily (see that Fairmont is very -much aflve. Perhaps never was more money turned loose in any town in Robeson county for farm pro duce in one day than was paid the farmers for "weed" here Tuesday. While more tobacco has been grown Robeson county than has been this year, never has a crop j fnr- an Tmiph monev . V Mr. A. L.

It is thought that this child con tracted the disease from being in a room with the corpse of a child who died in South Carolina recently and was brought to Fairmont for interment. Mrs. Carl McLean, who lives near Sumter, S. C, was on a visit recently in Fairmont to the heme of Mr. and Mrs. E. W.

Mr. and Mrs . Floyd's baby was in the room with the corpse for a short time. It was riot thought then that the McLean babv died of infan Ul. oaralvsis. but it fas since been stated that that is now thought to have been the cause of its death. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd's baby was taken "t-kk with vomiting and all oth er symptoms of the disease.

Pembroke, R. 1, Aug. 16 The re vival meeting is still in progress at Pine Grove and we believe great good is leing done. Several farmers have began pull were going to have pretty weather to save it. Mr. B. F. McNeill and Mr. Wil liam Kelly of Barker's spent Tues day at the home of Mr. and Mrs . D. C. Quick. Mr. Thomas Culbreth returned to school at Charlotte yes terday morning after spending a few days with home fonts. We are always glad to get anyijng fodder and it looks as if they news tnrougn uu V-UI" t. Z is of any interest to The Robeson ian and its many readers. .We will appreciate report of anything that happens that is worth sending to the paper, in tns rommum . will have to. do is to let, us know. In a great many instances we may miss interesting news ? matter- that we do not hear of. Of course weare anxious to get as much interesting news matter from this section to send to The Robesonian each week as Moa T B. McArthur and J. F McKay are Lumberton visnora today. Mr. N. A. Smith of Red Springs is spending a while this week with Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Smith. Mr. Foster. Humphrey and Mr. George Hall have some fields of cot ton that will be ready to pick in a few days. BIG DEMOCRATIC RALLY A crowd of young folks enjoyed a little picnic at the pond last Friday. Miss Ruby Stubbs is visiting in this section now. Miss Inez Hayes of Lakeview, S. C, is a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Odum. Miss Katie Buie of Buies and Mrs. Ramsey of Washington spent yes terday at Mr. D. C. Buie's. Miss Mary Culbreth of Hamer, S. C, is viisting relatives in this section this week. Misses Blanche White and Buby Stubbs went to Lumberton to day to attend the teachers' meet ing. Mr. Edwin White spent Sat urday night and Sundav near Dillon, that will sit on the streets and de nounce him! The writer took a little spurt the other day to the old homestead and was agreeably surprised at the great improvements of the crops within the last few days. Of course the crops will be cut short, but not to the extent that was suspected a a short while since. The greatest crop he found in the Mill Prong sec tion was the mosquito layout. I think the frogs have (become disgusted with the dry weather and have re tired to their summer homes and have left the situation entirely to the mosquitoes. We saw some of the bitrgest gallinippers we ever saw. There was one big ieuow tnati we ' knocked off three times and re-! covered and came at us again and we had to take a literal knot and knock him in the head,' Don't you believe us? The more we read of the flood sufferers in western North Carolina the more we regret the lightness of our pocketbook. Anybody who has more money than he needs at present should turn it in. All honor to those men who are working so hard to re lieve the suffering of tffa needy! We are glad to see that the Govern ment is coming substantially to their aid. Imagine, if you can, the condition of our county if every farm from here to Lumberton was swept clean of everything houses, stock and growing crops nd the people without food or clothing and you ten. have some idea of the condition cf a great portion of Jsestern North Cirolina. Why can't some great cy clone sweep us the same way? , So, fellow citizens, throw in what you can. The ventilation of most of our, churches is in bad condition. The old-time churches had wide-ooen win dows to let in God's free air, where one could sit on ' a warm day and actually enjoy a dull sermon riot that there are any dull sermons, but if there should be. They are now made so that the air actually misses the windows and goes out among the trees, which russle in tneir en- rnlih it to relatives at Jonesboro this caiiure , a.-: week. Mr. John Gainey left to night for Philadephia, Pa., where he will work in a hospital until school begins. Mr. Gainey is reading med icine and is one of our very best and smartest young men, and ws-predict will make good. Mrs. Sikes and children have returned home after snendintr some time at White Oak visitine relatives.

It is proposed to secure both Sena tor Simmons and Representative Kitchin, or at least one of them if possible. Mr. McNeill has re ceived a letter from Mr. A. W. Mc Lean, who is up North, in which he states that he will get in touch with tese men at once and try to get them to come. 'If it Is ".impossible lor either of them to come, then efforts will be made to secure Kepresenia tive Heflin of Alabama or Represent ative J. Ham Lewis he of the pink whiskers of Illinois. Messrs. Hef flin and Lewis have the reputation of being two of the outspeakingest men in Congress. Mr. Lewis nas promised to speak in the State dur- ing tne campaign auu xjuihuc.. may be the place. ' . , Anyway, a speaker that it will be worth while to come miles to hear will be secured, so it is well to keep the date of tha proposed big Demo cratic rally in Lumberton in mind.

How long were the long leaf pines' growth in our section 7 What was the condition of our wood3 when America was discovered? Was the longleaf pine here then? Our oldest inhabitants speak of an open country and no undergrowth when they first knew it. Did the Indians tt Vio wnnds vearlv? If so, they were not interested in stock raising. Why is the later growth cf the longleaf without any heart?
