NUMBER 43 CURVE, SAND, HIGH SPEED; AND CAR TURNS OVER OF COURSE, v One of Occupants Sailed Through the I Air and Landed in Ditch, Other Caught in Car, But Neither Hurt. At a curve in the road near the Robeson-Cumberland line near Park ton this morning a Ford touring car turned completely over and then set tled back on dne side. One man was thrown out into a deep ditch but the driver was held in place and had to stick to the car until it ceased its mad flight. Neither man was very much hurt. The usual thing reckjess driving. Roundincr curve at hie-h speed sand locked steering gear and over she went, and two men who should have known better than to monker with a Ford that way were mercifully spar ed sudden death and given opportu nity to meditate upon the folly of driving a car so recklessly. Messrs. W. F. George and T. W. Pultz of Fayetteville witnessed the accident as they were on their way to Lumberton. They were approach ing the other car and saw its sudden flight through the air. They fully expected to find two dead men, but neither man was seriously hurt, ap parently. The names of the men in the wrecked car were hot learned. "I've told you about driving around that curve so fast and I reckon this will be a warning to you," was all the sympathy the two disconsolate ones who were rubbing their bruises and contemplating their wrecked car got from a., man who lives at the curve and knew what was coming to somebody, soon dr late, from disre garding the laws of gravity at that particular pont.

Mas Cox Will Base Claim to Progressive! Vote on Record as Governor. I Governor Cox will base- his claim to the progressive vote on his record as Governor of Ohio. He has been what' is known as a-progressive Gov ernor. This country has had many "pro gressive governors. ua roue tie probably started the fashion in Wis consin and, being a pioneer was of the crudest and most violent type. Iowa had progressive governors. So had Kansas and Nebraska, men eastern states began to get progres sive governors; Hughes in New York and Wilson in New Jersey. Ohio a little later had its Governor Cox. These governors all ran true to tvne in the administration . Much social legislation went on the statute books: workmen's compensation laws. school reform laws. Iawas for the reg ulation of corporations and laws lim iting the hours of , labor, especially of women and children. . Their record was a sensation in its day. Wilson's work made him Pres ident, uugnes work almost maoe him President. . Cox came a little too late -to obtain the advertising out of his work that the earlier progres sive governors did. But his work has been, similar to theirs. , . ; 'If public attention, focused on state reform as it was in the days when Wilson was governor of New Jersey or Hughes governor of New York, Cox would today be much better known to the people at large than he is. His campaign literature, issued when he was seeking- the nomination for President, lists 62 reforms accom plished during his administration as governor.

If there should perchance be an antequated reader of ThP Robesonian wjio thinks it is not appreciated bv one who uroes away, let that poor obscure" fellow taxe a little trip of a hundred or so miles away with instructions that our paper follows. We are sure his mind will suddenly change, and when he goes back, home he will pay his subscription in advance and repent of all his derelictions. We are among the hills of good old Davidson county, and the people of Southmont are giving us a warm and whole-hearted welcome. The church revival in whicK we are en gaged is getting well under way. The great crowds in attendance upon ev ery service, and their responsiveness are such as are calculated to bring out the best preaching of which a (man is capable. lhe atmosphere is bracing; in a word, it is cool. If we were at home and the weather as cool as it is here somP pine knots would be aglow on the hearth. But the birds are sing ing sweetly; in fact, all nature ap pears to be very much alive. The good farmers are jubilant over their abundant wheat harvest. The thresh-, ing machines are busy, and the saw mills are runnintr on full time: but thP people find tune in the midsl. of it all to go up to the house of the Lord twice a day for the feast of good things that awaits them there. Our mobile school at Maxton clos ed Friday. The total registration was" 55, and the dean. Rev. Dr. Char les H. Durnam? was pleased to de liver 22 certificates of attendance. When the holders of these Certifi cates shall have gott.en three of these certificates, secretary W. N. Johnson, or his successor, will then award each of them a beautiful diploma of con tact, which will show that they have taken a coursP of training altogeth er inspiring and worth while. We were sorry the school wag not more largely attended, but the people were so busy they could not leave their work. However, a picnic or a big baseball game somewhere or an ex cursion never lacks for patronage. We shall not fret nor be discouraged over these things, for the Dayi8 com ing when they will have arf end. The thing over which we grieve now is the fact that people will so much re gret their past attitude toward the Lords' cause. "Their fearful doom with sorrow fraught, will fill them with surprise. IRISH SITUATION IS DAILY GROWING MORE TENSE Fears Expressed That It May Burst Into a Ge'neral Conflagration sf. Any Moment. Fears that the Irish situation, which is daily grow ing more tense, may burst into a general conflagration at any moment are expressed in responsible quarters at Dublin, tates a dispatch of the 1st from that pace. At the present there is virtually no civil law south of the Boyne river, exeept that administer ed by republican courts. ItMs estimated there are between 6.000 and, 8,000 fully equipped Brit ish soldiers in Ireland and they are being reinforced daily by men arriv ing from across the channel. As a result there are more frequent and more stubborn battles between the troops and the republican volunteers who for a time had things'much their own way. There have also been more arrests for carryingg arms and se ditious iterature, as reports to courts martial show It is expected the number of these arrests will in-- crease if the government succeeds in carrying its drastic measures in the house of commons next week. Reprisals by policemen and soldiers on villages suspected of harboring men responsible for attacks agamst the armed forces of the crowd are also expected here. The podic be ing particularly aroused over the at tacks made on their fellow members. In the meantime the sinn feiners. in carrying on their campaign, have vir tually cleared the country of bar rackss. They are now turning their attention to country houses and a number of these havP been burned during the last ten days. Attacks on coast guard stations for the purpose of capturing explosives have been stopped. It is estimated that this practice was imperiling the lives of seamen, who could not be warned of marine dangers except by these guards. Some of the coast guards are not immune; however, and a number of these have latey receiv ed attention, ni fact, nothing in Ire land is safe at present that might be used against the republican move ment or that might assist it. Irish banks which do business with the aBnk of England and neces Ba rfly make shipments of bullion to the latter institution nave called lor arm ed guards for the lorries that move the bullion by night. This has led to reports that bank reserves are be mg moved to England. DennisorvOhio. Aug. 1. J.

LAKE WACUAMAW Delightful i and Instructive Camping Trip Enjoyed by Demonstration Club Girls and Boys of Robeson and Columbus. Counties. Correspondence of The Robesonian. On Tuesday. June 29th, the club memhers of Robeson and Columbus counties met at Lake Waccamaw, where wp camped for four days. When the Robeson members reached the station Miss Andrews, home dem onstration agent, and Mr. Dukes, farm demonstration agent, - were there with their ears and carried us to the camp sight, a distance of about one mile. We reached the cottage about one o'clock and soon a delicious dinner of the good eati from home were served us in the dining room. Immediately after dinner the boys under the direc tion of Mr. Dukes, Mr. Lazar, farm agent of Columbuss. Mr. Kinlaw and Mr. Folger, of the Robeson Motion Picture service, were busy getting up the large tents furnished by the gov ernment. Eight of the,, tents were erected in which the boys camped only one being given to the gvrls, as thP cottage was sufficiently large to accommodate them mare comfortably. In the meantime, Miss Andrews, and Miss Conrath, home demonstration a cent for Columbus, called a mpetinp of the girls and divided them into squads, which were called the house keepers and cooks. Each group in turn assisted with the preparation of the meals and seeng that the cottage was kept .'n perfect condition. We all werP eager to get into the lake and 'about fothTrt und 7r thS care of the chaperons, we all took a swim, lhe water was The water was fine and Oh!!C the fun we had all together for about two hours. , Immediately after supper we were again called together and a most pleasant hour of games and commu nity songs were directed by Mrs. Es- telle T. Smith, district home demon stration agent, of Goldsboro. The games were designed for both boys and girlg and after our swim in the lake and thaf glorious sea breeze our feet were doubly quick and we had a great time running in the large yard surrounded by our tents and the cot tage Following the games, motion pictures were shown free by our own xwiwsuii vximiiiuiiiiv service, uirecieu bv Mr Foleer and Mr Kin aw We Kobeson Community service, directed then were all comfortablv and happily located for the rest of the night. Wednesday morning we were up with the birds, and how good it was to greet our f.ellow club members as they peeped from their various ten is to see if the other fellow had waked so early. Under the direction of Miss Andrews, squad No. 1 prepared break fast while Mr. H. B. Mask, State club manager, of Raleigh, directed the physical exercises, which made us all the more anxious for breakfast. Just before the breakfast hour we formed in line and a short devotional exercise was conducted by Mr. Dukes. After the cleaning of the dishes and the inspection of the tents, our class work began. From nine to eleven Miss Florence Jeffress. home demonstration agent from Wilming ton, gave most interesting and valu able demonstrations in millinery. This being a course of three mornings, we made flowers of paper for our sum mer hats, made organdy flowers madP and covered a frame for a large shap ed hat. Other little tarns and sport hats were presented and suggestions were given for their making. The boys work for the morning was under the direction of Mr. Mask of Raleigh, and Mr. Gather, district farm demonstration agent, of Goldsboro. Being in the bunch? of girls, I don't know just what their work consisted of but I know they seemed to have a great time making halters and new stunts on rope tieing. Each morning they were given special instruction in their own line. From eleven to twelve we had a most interesting joint meeting of both boys and girls. Mrs. Smith talk ed to us on "What Boys and Girls can do," after which we made the yells of "Club Work" ring. The afternoons were free for us to use as we liked. Some of ua walked about the lake whilP others sat about on the porch, finished our hat work and so on. At five was our much- looked-farward-to hour for going in swimming Getting out in time for suppe4 the hour of games and the motion pictures of the evening. On Thursday morning Mr. Mask gave a demonstration on dressing chickens. The instruction was most helpful and both boys and girls join ed in the dressng as the chickens had to be prepared for dinner. The large army stove in the yard which was also furnished by the State depart ment was great for the cooking of the stew. We had two big pots of stew and a big pot of potatoes going at on time Following this our reg ular class work consisted of the mil linery demonstration and a most in structive talk given by Mrs. Smith in her motherly way to the girls on How to Dress, and Our Health. ' The boys havine their instruction giv en by Messrs. Mask. Gather and La. zar. Thursday night, bemg our last night, w left off the motion pictures and the time was -devoted to talks from the State directors, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Mask and Mr. Gather. In these thev pointed out to us the value of cub-work and .insisted on us joining th farm and home demonstration agents more heartily in their effort to make of our homes better homes. our farms more complete and to be of greater value to the community in which we live. Friday morning we were up early to begin . packing to go home. This was. a task which every one dreaded as ho on wanted to go. The tents were taken down, the cottage nut in order, dinner served out in the grove and we took our last swim va. the de- BRIEF ITEMS LOCAL UTtt SHOP TROUBLE The Robesonian comes out under difficulties today.
