His theme was a memorial to women, and believe me it was some sermon; and the evening sermon was ably delivered "What shall we H- witn Jesus, who is called Christ!" The singing by a large choir was in spiring at both services. The young people of our town are well represented at a play a,t Lumber Bridge tonight.

The meeting was opened by the singing of our national song, "Amer ica", after which the devotional ex ercises were very timely conducted by Dr. Durham of the First Baptist church. Miss Leach rendered very beautifully a piano solo which was followed by a discussion on the teach ing of first-year Latin by Prof. Dixon of the Fairmont high school. His advise was taken directly from class room experiences and was very prof itable to all who are handling this subject. Following this discussion was an educational talk given by Miss Flax Andrews, hme demonstration agent, on the subject of "Our Opportunity in the renod oi Reconstruction."

Mr. Frank Gough, of Lumberton, a member of the board, returned home yesterday from attending this meet ing. He is naturally much gratified that the plan he advocated two years ago, when he represented Robeson in the State Senate, to convert the State j prison at Raleigh into a hospital for the insane, is about to be put into effect. The change will be made as soon as possible. Another plan advo cated by ex-Senator Gough, to sell the Mate farm in Halifax county and buy a smaller farm, more centrally lo cated, also will be carried out.

When the sale is made of the magnificent farm in Halifax and a smaller farm purchased, Mr. Fough thinks a cnsiderable sum will be turn ed into the State Treasury from the deal.

British aviators are to try for a flight across the Atlantic. A secretly built airplane, accompanied by Harry Hawker as pilot and Commander Mac Kenzie Grieve, royal navy, as navi gator, was shipped from England March 17th for St: Johns, N. F., from which it will start at the earliest .possible moment in an attempt to win the Daily Mail prize ox $10,000 for the first machine to fly across the Atlantic, states a London dispatch. , The- macine is a two-seater biplane with a 375 horsepower engine. The fuselage is boat-shaped and will sup port the machine in the water. Pilot Hawker said he believed the flight would occupy about 19 1-2 hours. The machine, he said, had flown 900 miles in 9 hours and 5 min utes on one-third of its petrol capaci ty and is capable of maintaining a speed of 100 miles an hour for 25 hours. 1 Killing Hogs Plowing and Build ing Barns. T!ie State has requested these names so in order to comply with this re quest they will be sent to the State organization. When the results of a thing can be foreseen as clearly as they appear in this case, it does seem that any man would be willing to do his part in bringing these things about. Even though a man did not sign the pledge he can still help cut by at least makiner some reduction. The man who will not even make an effort in this matter doesn't desere a good price for his cotton. The money collected so far amounts to $290. Of this amount one-half has to go to the State organization. That doesn't leave vsry much for the coun ty organization. Each one has been asked to pay 20 cents on each bale of cotton now on hand. Some have responded, while many have not. Some nice contributions have been re ceived. We solicit your financial sup port. Send us the 20 cents per bale or a contribution. FRANK GOUGH, Chairman, O. O. DUKES, Sec-Treas.

And so the board of censors func tioned wisely and well and their fame will go abroad through the land and it will no doubt be many a day before anotner so-called musical comedy of the "Oh.

For really "Oh, Sammy was dull, stale, flat and un profitable," calculated to give one softening of the brain.
