THE ROBESONIAN. LUMBERTON, N. O, THURSDAY, MARCH 6TH, 1919. TAGS TWO 4 NEWS NOTES AND COMMENT Another Milestone Reached Junior j Red Cross School Comment And NewB Items. TIME TO CALL A HALT. BY J. M. FLEMING. Lumberton, R. 5, March 3. Today marks another milestone in our earth ly pilgrimage and we are grateful for the privilege of seeing it. Imper fect has been the service, but thirty years have been rendered to the King of Kings, twenty-six of which the chief element has been in trying to preach the glorious gospel. The other part was a failure. We are sorry to report Mrs. A. b. Pitman still on the sick list. Our Cedar Grove meetings Satur day and Sunday were well attended. Among the visitors Sunday from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Prevatt of Back Swamp. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Spivey of Lumberton, Mr. Sandy Taylor and sister. Miss Vinie, of the Beulah section, Mr. and Mrs. Clark West and sister, Miss Caroline, of near Singletary's Cross Roads, Mr. and Mrs. Luther Mercer of Moss Neck, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Phillips of Rock ingham, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Pitman of Bellamy. The public school at Cedar Grove It has recently en rolled as a member of the Junior Red Cross, having paid its 25c per capita fee. The assistant teacher, Miss Em ma Fleming, who graduated last year from the high school at Lumberton, is showing remarkable skiu in pri mary work. She has the first, second and third grades. We are sorry to learn that Rev. and Mrs. W. D. Combs are so soon to leave for other points. Their place will be hard to fill, but our best wishes fol low them wherever they may go. Lum berton is the poorer by their going. We commend the ministers of our little city for taking a decided stand against the unrighteous displays that encroach upon the morals of the town. Also the officers and people who co- operate with, ft&Jhg&J& gJ pressing wie cm. Personally we are opposed to any further mutilation of the good old county of Robeson, but the good peo pie in the proposed new counties are our friends and we should hate to throw a single straw in the way of what to them seems best. Of course, building court houses and jails, and paying officers is a big consideration, but thev are not Dima to mat maxier. It looks like the six-months' school term is having a hard time to get started- but it is needed and then a compulsory attendance law' to force all who are of school age to attend, making arrangements for thise most dependent. For ignorance is the world's greatest tragedy, the church's greatest curse, the preacher's greatest menace, and the Lord's greatest ene- 'Safeguarding the Girls of Our ToW Subject of Timely Sermon by Dr. Durham Sometimes Girl Supposed to be Spending Night With a Friend Is Found in a Curtained Auto Girls Go Joy-Riding Late at Night. t my. We were made sad one day last week on receiving the intelligence that our good friend and fellow min ister, Rev. W. W. Davidson of Sum mer field, N. C, had passed on the 4th of February. Mr. Davidson was a Presbyterian minister of no mean ability. His scholarship was bioad, and his spirituality boundless. He was tender-hearted, and gentle as a -woman. It was his gentleness that made him great We stood side by side for more than four years, he as faster of the Presbyterian church and the Baptist. He was one of the most companionable and sweet-spirited men we ever knew. It was uplift ing to hear him sing and like being in the mountain top where the, dews of heaven distilled to hear him pray. In conversation he was approachable. A, liH-la iViHH W9i TwTfprtlw nt. Vinmn in .vv. ' ' " - - j - - . Vtitt vc. awiia In hid atmmtTna ha woe' SilO 411 1110 01.111Vllt3 ill. " " u informing. He knew what to say, how to say it, and was not afraid of his thoughts. His letters are classics, and we count it a privilege to have several of them among our files. He was a great and good man and we lov ed him, and he had the satisfaction of knowing it. "Safeguarding the Girls of our Town", was the subject of a sermon preached by Rev. Dr. Chas. H. Durham pastor of the First Baptist church. Sunday evening. Dr. Durham warn ed against three things the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eye and tne pride of life. He said in part: The world has reached a stage of thrills. The young people cannot bear a dull time. ' There are som people to be ayoided.' Have nothing to do with any person who speaks lightly about Jesus. Avoid those wno wouia Beuute ypu and lead you astray. Some will pretend to be your friend nnd at the same time seeK to ieaa you usirny v.nu ruin your life. Dr. Durham declared that if he bad been rightly advised as to how things were going in Lumberton it was time a mil a halt. A Dure woman is one of the greatest beings on the face of the earth, and tne nope oi our coun try lies in our womanhood. "I would do anything or make any sacrifice to keep the life of any gin living in uom hortnn from one of shame." he fcaid "It w ill take a srirl upon whose char acter there is a shadow of a doubt a century to live it off. If you Jose your character you have lost all. Dr. Durham had been advised that some Lumberton girls go joy-riding with boys at all hours of the day ano at late hours of the night without chaperones, and that some ride on au tomobiles on the same seat with two or more boys. He nad asKea now tins could be. The answer was that in . il a.

"If the . automobile is not el .ady a curse to the country it js going to be in the way of Sabbath desecration and the ruin of young girls.

The new countv advocates in Robe son county are contending that small counties are more progressive tnan others and are citing the splendid counties of Hoke and Scotland as ex amples. Why are small counties more nroeressive than older ones :. rer haps it is because the most progressive men in mossback counties got a move on them and cut loose from what ap peared to them to be a stranded hulk However, we have sometimes been in clined to believe it was because new counties would mean new opportuni ties for more politicians. Wonder why it is? LEMONS BRING OUT THE HIDDEN BEAUTY Make this lotion for very little cost and just see for yourself. The wheat guarantee bill, complet ed Monday, appropriates $1,000,000, 000 as a revolving fund for the pur chase of wheat and authorizes the President to create an agency or agencies for purchase of the 1919 crop at the guaranteed price of $2,26 a bushel and to repose in the agency or agencies the authority to control all commerce in wheat and wheat prod ucts. An amendment offered by Sen ators from the cotton States reducing the number of grades of cotton di liy erable on future contracts fro.n 20 to 10 was retained in the bill. What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion ble mishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating,and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle con taining about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and com plexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordi nary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen - and beautify the skin. Any druggist will supply three oun ces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons. you. Radio Sgt. L. F. Stone left Tuesday for New York, where Jie is stationed, after a most pleasant 10-days' fur lough here with friends and relatives. We are hoping all the boys will soon be coming back to America. On this day that sees bur soldiers-sons in France, our hearts are metre tender, more reverent, if possible, to our old est soldiers, the veterans of the CO's. These are they who answered our Friday, remarked that "Robeson coun ty was good enough for their fathers and 'twas good enough for them" type of the "Old-Time Religion" and we believe this beautiful sentiment ex pressed by these two noble scots of upper Kobeson is somewhat symboli cal of Prof. Charles Smith's nom de plume, when he had written his first famous article and read it to Bill Arp. who exclaimed, "Dem's my sen timents. sign my name to that," and from that day till his death the great writer was no longer known as Chas Smith but Bill Arp.

How few they are now! How short a time we'll have them with us! Let ufcherish them, honor them. Hats off as they pass. Mrs. D, C. Proctor and children ar rived here Saturday from Fayetteville, visiting Mrs. Livermore. They will leave today. Glad to see much soil being turned and gardens prepared. "If food will win the war" means anything, it means that the final test is to be an endurance test; the side whose grit and supplies hold longer always wins. Husbands and children have, after all, little to do in determining our food saving: they must eat cheerfully, or otherwise, what is planned for them. It is the woman of the house on whom the real test of endurance is placed today three times, tomorrow three times, every day three times. Will we hold out? If you are the mother of a boy in khaki, the wife of a soldier, or an American woman, you answer with the unflinching French woman, the tireless English woman and long suffering Belgin woman: "We will not weary, we will hold on until the boys come home!"

"For more than a year," he contin ued, "I suffered terribly with stomach trouble. After eating anything I would always have gas on my stomach and would constantly belch up my sour, undigested food. I suffered with heartburn constantly land was ex tremely nervous, my liver was slug gish and I was bilious, too, I felt lan guid and tired-out most of the time and often felt so bad that I could hardly attend to my business properly. "I heard so many people praising lanlac that 1 began taking it, too, and by the time I had finished my second bottle I had gained nineteen pounds. I never suffer now with heartburn or indigestion and am not nervous like I was before. I sleep well and get up in the morning feeling fine and ready for a hard day's work."
