THE PASSING SHOW
M. MONTE.
Our civilization becomes more and
more complex. We note a few days
since a competition amongr the ehil
dren in a Western State in the making
of bird boxe3, wherein feathered be
ings' may hie themselves and rear
sundry bright-plumaged youngsters
in peace. Also in a Western State,
John Doe, Mrs. Doe and three or four
younger Dees were invited to scare
themselves from a human bird house,
because, forsooth, they had trektea
a contract entered into while young j
?Oung
and inexperienced, as a. mere scrap
of paper, and in the years had per -
mitted Doctor Stork to visit their
domicile. A lot of things have hap
pened to John Doe, if the frequency
with which he appears in print goes
for anything, but we doubt that the
list contains aught more unjust than
this.
Ever in so often we hear of the
Hon. Penrose doing something. It
would seem that this individual would
execute, if only accidentally, some
thing worth while. Instead he goes
from what is exceedingly bad to that
infinitely worse. His latest bid for
notoriety is in advocacy of social
equality. Personally we would not
suggest that any colored person is
less than the Hon. Penrose's equal,
and we would be sorry for that col
ored individual at that, but we object'
to starting things that can lead to
nothing helpful to any one. We doubt
that there will be any great outcry
should sundry persons accept it as
a fact that the eolored individual is
their equal, or supreior, for that mat
ter, provided they, let it go at that
and not strive to put it over as a
thing universal. The Hon. Penrose I
may throw himself in a pig sty andj
claim . relationship with a berkshire
if so it suits him, but we'll be dog
goned if the rest of us are going to
join him.
We were beginning to have hopes
for Mr. Harding, but when added to
his other worries, a certain Herr
is. a certain nerr i
Vierrick begins calling him Warren
Gamaliel, the prospect grows gloomy
We would prefer that Herr Vierrick
would salute us from the other side
of some nice iron bars, than to do so
with folks looking on. Taking it by
and large, Mr. Harding had best look
to himself with anything that even
looks like this Vierrick person hang
ing about the lawn. He ought to be
hanging to the7 other end of that
crosscut saw at Doom. He and
Vilhelm would make a nice pair.
We understand from good authority
that the administration at -Washington
has at last found something -that
it can change for the better. It will
demand that the clerks change their
winter underwear to the summer
variety. They have striven strenuous
ly, but this is the only thing Wilson
left that they can discover wherein
a change will be for the better. And
even so. they had better consult "Jo
Jo"' before promulgating the order.
If so happens it that a niche in,
some hall of fame becomes allotted
to us, we rise to propose young Mr.
McClure of up Canton way. The way
he jumped in and handled the hazing
situation commends him to us in a
loud vehement voice. He should be
conscripted to Raleigh and put into
action in that vicinity. We protest
furthermore in the" name of the
Amalgamated Barber Trades that
Soph students be restrained from in
terferrinfir with an established voca
tion nnH atnrtinc now Rtvlpa in hair 1
tion ana starting new styies in nair ,
cut. at reduced rates.
Wnnrlpr where those advocates for !
steen millions for higher education
have gone. Is it for this that those
millions are desired, that hair cuts
a la penitentiary are to be free. We
are agin' the appropriation again. ,
We have been wont to induce some
rhymes into these articles, but we
have discovered the reason therefor,
which was somewhat of a mystery
to us, who had never before been so
addicted; it was in the ribbon we
used. After having put in a new
one. we find that Pegassus and his
steed have taken flight.
Snow and Lightning.
In The Robesonian of February 28,
last, due mention was made af a
severe hail storm which visited sev
eral sections of Robeson county the
night before, accompanied by an
electrical display. In a recent issue
the Dillon- (S. C.) Herald quotes
Conductor Vann, running on A. C. L.
train No. 82, as saying that was one
and a half inches of snow on Bear
swamp, between Buie and Renncrt.
when he passed through early Sunday
morning, that it began to snow about
9:30 p. m. and continued until about
1:30 a. m., the storm being accom
panied by thunder and lightning. Of
course Conductor Vann mistor-k the
hail for snow. The Dillion HeTald,
in referring to this story in a news
item, says: i
"The Robeson county snow storm
was mentioned in conversation a few
days ago and a gentleman present
said while he was working at the
DuPont works in Virginia last winter
there was a heavy snow fall accom
panied by thunder apd lightning.
The atmosphere was warm when the
snow began to fallbut in a few min
utes there was a rapid fall in the
temperature, and shortly .afterwards
water began to freeze."
Hog With a Gold-Filled Tooth.
A hog was found over in Fayette
villc tbs other day that had been
patronizing a dentist. He had a
gol drilled tooth. When Mr. Arthur
Hollingsworth killed a hog at his
home on Haymount, where they do
say lets of funny things happen, he
found that one of its back teeth had
been filled with gold. - The supposi
tion is that when very young the hog
got hold of a piece of gold and mash
ed it into a tooth. The Fayetteville
Observer story says that "some den
tists have done a far worse looking
job." "
Messrs. J. A. Vinson and Henry
Williams of Claytcn were Lumberton
visiters monday.
News and Comment
By J. M. Fleming
Lumberton, R. 5, March 28. This
has been a good March. The tem
perature has been excellent and we
hope for a merciful providence in the
future.
Our church services at Rozier's
Saturday and yesterday morning, and
at the school house in the afternoon,
were all to the good. Such fine con

Robeson association do our best during
April. We are greatly in arrears,
but we can do our best and there is
no more required of angels than to do
their best.
We have never subscribed to the
undesignation feature of out con
tributions. If we give ten dollars
to foreign missions we want every

Our own pastors are thoroughly com
petent of imparting the needed in
formation along all the lines of our
activities.
We have recently noted the fact
that a certain great Treadher up
north preached an hour and twenty
minutes on whether or not the stars
are inhabited, and another exegete ex
patiatedfor a long hour on some
reminiscences of the Caribbean sea.
We wonder how long it would take
the Almighty to save a soul from
sin listening to the discussions of
such questions. The first ministers
of the gospel understood the Saviour
to say, "Faith comes by hearing, and

geography to the school teachers
There is no other county more
abundantly blessed than Robeson.
Its churches and schools, its preach
ers and teachers are as good as the
best. Its women and children are as
lovable and loyal as any in the wide
world. Permit us to address these
latter in just a few words.
Within the recent past niche has
been made in the walls of orthodoxy
in which the women and children are
recognfced as factors in doing King
dom work. By their lives, character
and toils thev cro down anions? the
I'needy and destitute people of earth

and comfort to the depressed and
lonely, light, and good news of salva

direct the misguided heart from the
things in life which are material and
selfish to those which are invisible,
