a. few days ago from "all over" and.
will spend a month here at the home
of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Prevatt. This is his first visit home
in three years, and during that time
he has been in every State m the
union, he says, and came home from
Mexico because it got too hot there
for him. He decided Jto .get out andj
wait for things to settle' down a bit.i
when he expects to go back in the in
terest of a business proposition of
his own. Mr- Prevatt says the Mex
icans think : that if you'd take out
Texas and the Standard Oil Co. there
would be nothing left of the United
States, they think the U. S. is a big
bluff and that' they could lick -the
stuffin'' out of this country.
Mr. Prevatt left Lumberton five
years ago and went to a DuPont fac
tory. He has been erecting machin
ery since he left that factory and his
work has carried him all over and
given him wide and interesting ex

It was a real pleasure to have Mr.
W. H. M. Brown of Buie worship with

a recent issue of The Robesonian
Messrs. White & Gough's retire
ment from business does not make us
feel glad" They re splendid fellows
and our relations were always ex
ceedingly pleasant. But since they
saw fit to change their "modus op
erandi, -we welcome the Efird Broth
era. and bespeak for them a hearty
trade.
In the death of Miss Lizzie Ed
wards of Galead, which occurred in
a Wilmington hospital the' 13th of
this month, one of the purest, truest
and noblest souls among us has gone!
to bo, with the Savior. We shall rev
erence her memory and prayerfully;
sympathize with the bereaved fami-H
ly. .
Th director of the 75-million al
lotment in our Abbottsburg church,!
Mr. J. D. McKeithan, made a good
report Saturday. It showed an in
crease of more than 53 per cent Our
church at Galead went beyond - its
quota by more than 57 per, cent. Our
church -at Rozier did not quite reach
the amount asked for, but we could
not find any room in our heart for
criticism. That church has been do
ing,, fairly well beyond the average
rtldv the ink flowed rather freely
when .' the amount to it was being
written down. Our church at Pleas
ant Plains accepted its quota, but
adopted its own plan to raise the
amount and has the first year's al
lotment almost paid.
The raise in the price of gasoline
is no surprise. We knew it would be
that 'way as soon as we saw that the
deacon had given. two million dollars
to education and' missions, v He be
longs to the remittent class: gives
the money, but makes the People pay
it. Possibly that ia alright- Just so
the money comes! . , -
We are rather surprised, to hear
that the W. Q,W. rates are placed tori
a parity with old line insurance.
This was repudiated in the beginning
of its activities. If the members now
have to pay old line rates, would it
not furnish a more satisfactory guar
antee to carry old line policies ? But
everything seems to be changing and
perhaps it's not so bad, after all.
There is one thing ' we do wish.
That is, that the road commission (if
there is any such thing on the face of
theanth) would repair the bridges
on the public roads, and fill up a few
of , tne worst holes anyway.
