VOL. 5- NUMBER 3 ROBES JN MEETS NEXT IN LUMBERTON Big Road Meet Will Be Held in Lum hortnn Next Fall Monroe Road Meet Eclipsed Any Other Road Meet Ever Held, in the state W-C-A., Hard-Snrface Highway Seems Assured Bobeson Was Well Represented. Appointment of working commit tees with determination to let no grass grow under their feet but to labor in season ar.d out of season until the task is done, adoption of in telligent resolutions framed with a definite purpose, and the selection of Lumberton as the next meeting place of the Wifcnington-Charlotte-Asheville Highway association are outstanding features of the big road meet held at Monroe Thursday of last week, a meeting which in points of the number in attendance, enthu siasm and determination .surpassed any other road meeting ever held in the State. The Lumberton big road meet will be held some time next fall and by that time perhaps the oon-KH-twinn nt n hard-surface highway from the mountains to the sea through j Robeson county will have begun, or at least should beon the point of be ginning. For through that Monroe .meeting ran the -unmistakable purpose to comply at once, without further cere mony, to any and all requirements' necessary to secure the Federal aid r.-ad money to bear half the cost of: construction of ire pro-iosa nnia surface highway. The committees appointed will go to the State High way commission with the assurance that the 16 counties directly concern ed will do their part and it only re mains for the State Highway com mission to put in motion the machin ery to comply with the formalities of the law that will set free the stream of dollars from the United States Treasury. The committees upon vhose ef fective work so much depends are advisory and resolutions. Each is composed of one member from each of the counties through which the highway will be built. Mr. L. L. Mc Girt of Maxton, a member of the county road board, advisory com mittee, and Senator H .E. .Stacy of Lumberton, Resolutions committee, were selected as Robeson's members. These committees are permanent and are expected to take necessary steps towards, setting in motion at the earliest possible moment the ma chinery necessary for beginning the work. When reports were called for at the business session Thursday after noon, W .A. McGirt of Wilmington, chairman of the New Hanover board of county commissioners and presi dent of the North Carolina Good Roads association, presiding, county after county reported that it was prepared to do its part and would construct a hard-surface road. Gas ton and Mecklenburg reported that they would construct 44 miles of hard-surface road, 24 in Mecklenburg and 20 in Gaston, whether any other counties built that type of road or not When it came time for Robeson's re port, Mr. L. R. Varser, who was chos en chairman of this county's large delegation, told them that Robeson townships were voting road bonds as fast as returns could be counted, that Chairman McGirt was not far wrong in announcing that Robeson would vote a ' million and a half in road bonds right away, and that Robeson! would build some 40 miles of hard surface road across the county about as much as Mecklenburg and Gaston combined and broad in pro portion, 24 feet width perhaps being nearer what Robeson wants than the 16-feet standard. And 'on down the line, representatives of Union, Anson,' Richmond, Scotland, Bladen, Co lumbus, Brunswick and New Hah-j over lifted up their voices and gave expression to the hope that is in them, nearly every one giving posi tive assurance that his county, would do its part. Mr. J. Bayard Clark of Elizabeth town said that Bladen is not one of the richest counties but that it would not be found lacking. Mr K. B. Council said that Columbus county, not, meaning to be abrupt about it, was not going to do anythinjr just row because she had built her part' of the proposed highway and had turned it over to the State Highway commission and would provide the money for its upkeep I .West -of Lumberton no qutw.l'on was raised as toN the route of the highway, so that there is now no more doubt as to the road coming through Robesoi than there is as to its going through Charlotte and to Wilmington, but among the resolutions adopted was one recog nizing the contention between Bladen and Columbus and the matter of de ciding which f these routes should he adopted was inferred for decision tc the State, Highway commissi. n Robeson did not go to the read meet with bells on, exactly, but it helped to make more effective the "bell" wh:newith Wilmington and New Hanovar were equipped withal. Robeson was well represented, most of the delegates going on -the special train of Pullman cars in which the New Hanover delegation traveled. On this train of 7 cars, including baggage car, two cars were reserved for Robeson, about 30 boarding one car-at Lumberton and a' like number '' '.V .' -v..- '.'' ...

Miss r.pn Morrison TO BE TRULY GREAT IS A MATTER OF CHOICE True Manhood and Womanhood is Within the Reach of Every One Dr. Beaman Preaches to Members of Graduating Class of Lumberton High School. , Basing his discourse on Solomon's wise choice of an understanding heart when God asked him what di vine gift he would ask, as told in 1st Kings, 3rd chapter, beginning with the 5th verse, Rev. Dr. R. C. Beaman preached a sermon at Chestnut Street Methodist church yesterday morning especially appropriate to yrtung graduates, most of the members of the class of '19 of the Lumberton high school attending the services in a body, according to a custom of long standing. Eloquently and forcefully Dr. Beaman held up the high ideal of true manhood and true womanhood, the attainment of which he declared, is a matter that lies within the choice of every one, wheth er born to wealth or poverty. One cannot yawn oneself into great ach ievements but must pay the price of hard and unremitting toil. You can be a man or a mounteback, a king or a elewn, he said; it is a matter of choice. He could not predict great careers for members of the class, he said, as the world counts greatness, but real manhood and womanhood is always ar matter of choice, and each could attain to that greatness, and there is nothing greater than that. The order of service was changed at this church yesterday and the com munion service was held in the even ing, preceeded by a delightful and in structive, illustrated sermonette to children on the subject of "Candles."
