Purchasers of Oil Stock Seek to
Avoid Paying Notes.
Many people who .blythely gave
notes during flush times more than
a year ago for stock of various kinds
that glib-talking agents renxesented
as sure to pour into the laps of pur
chasers a stream of gold these pur
chases, many of them, are now
moving to keep these notes, that have
come home to roost, from being col
lected. A bunch of people came up
from down Marietta way Friday to
consult with their lawyers about what
is to be done about notes for some
Texas oil stock. , - .
, Among these here Friday were
Messrs. J. ;M. Sparkman, A. W. Har
rington. C. T. ; Ford, Bunk Morgan,
John Henry Bass, Leon Henley. Ivey.
It is understood that, there were
others . whose names were not learn
ed. They say 'they will not pay the
notes because ..the company has not
lived up tp the promises of the agent,
who represented that the stock would
pay" for" itself in dividends in four
years and the purchasers would not
bo out a cent of money.
Here's hoping the purchasers will
be able to "dig one yard below their
mine and blow them at the moon."

undei the cotton warehouse act.
Bill to Eradicate Tick.
Johnstone of Pender offered in the
House Friday a bill providing for
termination of the cattle tick. It
would compel the . county commis
sioners of the 21 counties where the
tick is still entrenched to build vats
to dip the cattle in- appoint inspec
tors to see that the cattle are dipped,
and provides heavy penalties, ranging
from 2 to 10 years imprisonment
for any who would hinder the work.
A Senate bill paswd Friu&ik

Workmen's Compensation Measures.
Raleigh News and Observer, Jan.
21: A second workmen's compensa
tion act made its way to the General
Assembly , yesterday;, morning whan
Representative Luke .Young, of Bun
combe, presented the vmeasure drawn
up by the commission named by
Governor Bickett last September to
work out some form of compensa
tion legislation. Mr. Young was a
member of the commission, and will
the Young bill and the DeLaney bill,
which was presented to the Senate on i
Wednesday, are very much alike, dif
fering mostly in the premium rate
the bases of compensation, and in
minor detls of administration. The
Young bill is modelad entirely after,
the compensation law now in force
i.-- Virginia. Both are voluminous,
oung's running for some 12,000
words, and DeLaney's about 10,000.
The Young bill was ordered printed.
Both bills declare thatlevcry employe
in the State, excepting employes of
railroads- and of municipalities, shall
be subject to the workings of the act
?i;d "that the employer shall be taxed
for tho payment of premiums upon
the policies carried for his workmen.
In addition to the premium tax, an
additional tax on the $100 of premium
shall be levied for administration.
Nq employe subject to the provisions
of the measure may hereafter sue his
employer for damages arising out of
injuries received in the line of work.
His claim, for compensation will be
presented to the Board, which will
administer the law. and there adjust
ed. The maximum' liability incurred
is; $5,000. in , the- DeLaney -bill and
$4,500 in the Young bill a" graduated
scale i provided .JHN'leBser injuries.
The DeLaney bill. -provides a 60 per
cent.;of the weekly remuneration fofr
total disability, and the Young bill
fixes $15 per week as. the maximum
allowance for disability. The weekly
weige of each employe is fixed in the
premium carried by the employer for
workmen of his establishment.
The administration of the law is to
be vested in the hands of a commision
of three members, giving their whole
time to the work.. The policies taken
out by employers are to be "farmed
out" with approval companies. Al
together the measures take the place
of the workmen's insurance . that is
now ccrried by many employers in
the State. The, Virginia law is ta
ken as the model of the Young bill
and the New York law as the model
of the DeLaney bill. Neither meas
ure has developed sufficient follow
ing in either house to indicate what
strength it will have when it comes
before the committee hearing, and
later when it shall be ready .for the
attention of the full Legislature.
.Neither has the backing, so far, of
the organised labor forces in the
State, and many of the leaders are
actively opposed to them.
It was Charlie' Smith who was
rrrested in connection with the whis
key still captured near Lumberton
some two weeks ago instead of John
Smith, as stated in The Robesonian
at the time. It might also be stated
that it was not the Charlie Smith who
lives on East Fifth street, but one
who lives near Lumberfon t ,

were handled in a creditable manner
and Were both instructive and inter
esting. This part of the program
was supplemented by songs wefll-ren-derea
by the pupils of the Normal
school.
Miss Walker told in a most interes
ting and convincing manner of the
great work being done by the Ameri
cart Red Cross and urged the impor
tance of the Junior Red Cross work
in the schools. After Miss Walker's
address, L. W. Jacobs was elected
chairman of the Junior Red Cross
and a number of members were' se
cured' The teachers of the Indian
schools in the county will look after
organizing the various schools.
The awarding of the victory and
Sate medals was most impressive.

eral army sonps and these were much
enjoyed. Miss Walker paid tribute
to the Indian soldiers tor the splend
id service rendered their country in
Ihe world war.
Mr. Britt's address r'ealt largely
with the American Red Cross and
its connection with education. lie
outlined the peace-time program of
the Red Cross and was listened to
vi;h interest by those present.
Practically all-the Indian tt-achers
of the county attended the meeting
Friday. There are mora than 3,000
Indian children of school age in the
county, according to Supt. J. R.
Poole, and the Indians are making
great advancement along educational
lines.

near Edmund's mill reports that
one of his good-sized hogs has been
devoured. The animal an awfully
strange looking "creetur", was seen
Saturday afternoon by one man and
two ladies.
x It's an -awful ahame for the "var
mint" to lend his terror to a peace
ful community. keeping young
men from their sweeties at night
and causing older people to spend
sleepless nights. .
" This Teporter was . living m
hearing, of .the dreadful noises made
by the late monster that created
such terror and he knows the folks
who live in that "section now have
less to be thamkftfl for than before
the new one arrived to make life
misrable for those living in his
range. -
