Maybe such a venture would pay
the promoters, and certainly it
should be a fine thing for the town.
Some gentlemen who have had ex
perience with renting property of
that kind in Lumberton are skepti
cal ; they have proved to their own
sorrow that houses for rent do not
always mean profit. But that period
may be past now and those who try
the plan suggested by "Monte" may
reap a rich reward in addition to
boosting their home town.

Buie, July 2 -Mr. W. H. Graham
is now leader of the Buie prayer
meeting which is conducted at the
Methodist church. Mr. Graham mov
ed here from St. Pauls recently and
is among the best of Christians and
no doubt the prayermeeting will ac
complish much good under his guid
ing hand.
Mr. Jno. S. Brown returned a few
days ago from Portland, Oregon, to
trains for months to pnt himself in which place he was summoned as a
perfect physical condition for a witness in a overnment case against
fight. Most people spend their time J a man who they proved had been
breaking down, their physical pow- using the mails in selling to the pub

Mrs. Steidley, who has been con

Mr. McLendon at Sanford, where he
will begin a revival meeting Sunday.

age of those who always in all ages
have said it could not be done no
matter what, just so it had never
been done before, whether it was
traveling faster than a stage coach,
or what not. Verily, one must be
lieve all that one can, and doubt on

must doubt nothing. It shall come
to pass in the days not far hence
that one shall arise in the roolth of
the early morning, fasten on his
trusty wings, and, not bothered by
fear of the mishap that befell the
Icarus of that early day, mount to
ward the sun and fly to the utter
saest parts of the earth and hack be

And flying is not all that one must

day school, class a time ago, the
time is coming when you will sit in
your office in Lumberton and call up
year doctor when he is in New York
and stick out your tongue for him
to look at at that distance and tell
you what ails you; and in those
days if you take a drink of the "old

will detect it on your breath the next
minute in Lumberton and if you eat
an onion they'll smell it around the

priation bills and that the Democra
tic majority in the Senate was ready
and anious and willing to pass them
but was prevented from doing so by
a plotted and deliberate filibuster of
a few Republicans in the Senate in
the last days of the session. "Every
intelligent man in this House," said
Mr. Kitchin, "knows absolutely that
every one of these bills would have
been written into the statutes had
it not been for the indecent and un.
warrented Republican filibuster in
the last days of the last Congress."
Taking up the Republican . claim
that 1400,000,000 had been saved in
the army bill, Mr. Kitchin showed
that this bill did not affect the sav
ing of a single penny to the people,
that the Republicans voted with the
Democrats to provide for an average
army of 500,000, which at the last ses
sion it was thought it would be neces
sary to provide for, bat that four
months have elapsed since then and
that it has been determined that the
army will be much smaller than 500,
000, and that the difference would
have been turned back into the treas

bill had not been changed. The truth
is that this difference is brought a

WOULD A BUILDING SYNDI

Lumberton citizens welcome stran
gers within the gates of their town
and are glad to see the town grow;
but ask any one where and how to
find a house to rent and the answer

cision against the brewers and such
beer. The "wets" are made to re
joice one minute and the next minute
they are plunged back into low-

to be the conclusion of the whole mat
ter nobody knows, but indications are
that it is going to be a dry summer,
with maybe some irrigation along to
ward the shank of the year, when the
President is expected to exercise his
right to declare war-jtime prohib
tion at an end when army demobiliza
tion has become an established fact.
There will ensue, then, a "wet" period
before constitutional prohibition goes I

The O. Henry, Greensboro's new
hotel, the formal opening of which
was fittingly celebrated last week
is the most magnificient and splend
idly equipped commercial hoiel in
the State. Greensboro needed a new
hotel badly and the O. Henry isa
credit to that town and to the State.
The Greensboro News last Wednes
day issued an O. Henry edition in
honor of the formal opening, this is
sue containing a wealth of interest

Sidney Porter), who spent some years
of his early life in Greensboro and
later won fame as the best short-sto
