THE BOBESONIAN, LUMBEETOIf, NORTH CAROLINA MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 1921. PAGE TWO mm 50gQod cigarettes toriuctrorn one sack of GENUINE n n n n n M DURHAM TOBACCO VETERAN RECEIVED EVERY ATTENTION AT COUNTY HOME The Late James Alexander Hodges Left the Soldiers' Home at Raleigh and Entered Robeson County Home Because He Preferred the Latter There His Comfort and Well Being Were Carefully Looked After. To the Editor of The Robesonian. I would like to say a few words in regard to the veteran Mr. James Alexander Hodges, who died recently at the county home. He was admitted to the county home on June 6th. Hav ing spent a short time in the soldiers' home at Raleigh, he preferred to live in this h'ome. It is a sad fact that a few of our brave men of the sixties have spent their last days in county homes. I visited him from time to time after I learned he was there, saw him the first day that he was ill, and met Dr. Hardin at his bedside on the third day of his illness and saw him from time to time until the end came. I was also at his funeral. He had medical attention from the first. I went to see Dr. Hardin about his nourishment, etc. He was in a two room cottage with porch (in my opin ion the most satisfactory plan for a home of this kind). His room was a large one with three windows and door, all screened The room was clean and in order. His bed was a sani tary iron bed, with very good springs and mattress, also a feather pillow. The sheets were colored, but clean. I felt that I wanted to do something for him, so took a pillow and cases, sheets and night shirts for him, show ing the women who were caring for him how to change the shirts without much worry to patient. Every time that I visited him the dressings on his face were fresh. I did go down one night and found his screen door opened and a few flies in the room, but they were kept out a$ near as possible. I also talked to Mr. E. J. Britt, county attorney, about the case. He told me that Mr. Flowers, the keeper, had instructions to get anything that was needed for the veteran. I am stating these facts as I know them and to show that everything was done for him that could be at that time, other than in a hospital or under the care of a trained nurse. MRS. L. T. TOWNSEND. Lumberton. MEETING AT ROZIER NO. 2 A GREAT SUCCESS By Alexander Baxley St. Pauls, R. 1, Aug. 2. The meet ing at Rozier No. 2 was the greatest success of any meeting that I have heard from. Rev. E. G. Willis of Lum berton did the preaching and there were eight precious souls converted and received into the church and sent to Rozier No. 1, prepared for baptism. These eight converts will be baptized next fourth Sunday by Rev. J. M. Fleming. My dear Sunday school workers, don't be discouraged but push for ward the banner of Christ by more prayermeetings and Sunday schools. Please don't listen to any critics, but hold fast to sound works, for if it hadn't been for prayermeetings and Sunday schools, our world would have been today as Sodom and Gomorro. Preaching the Gospel is a great call ing if some preachers only had enough religion to help them to be willing to help somebody else instead of say ing hard things about them and about the work they try to do. Sun day school is the highest standard to heavenly vision. BROAD KIDGE BREEZES. Series, of Meetings Pergonal and 'Other Items. By Gertrude Britt Broad Ridge (Orrum, R. 1), Aug. 2.

I"-" II ll ll ll LAFAYETTE MUTUAL WILL LAUNCH AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN Excellent Showinc Pleases Stockhold rr Predict Business Will Grow By Leaps and Bounds Officers and Directors Elected. Reported for The Robesonian.... On July 11th there assembled in the offices of the LaFayette Mutual Life Insurance company of Lumber- ton a auorum of the policyholders, who were called together for the pur pose of having the annual meeting of the company. The assets of the company were found to be in first-class condition and in spite of the business condition of the country not being up to par the officials were thoroughly satisfied with the excellent showing of the re serve fund and membership of the company. Officers and directors were elected and a general discussion was entered by those present to promote the interests of the company. New field men and agents will be sent throughout the State of North Carolina, and in a short time other States will be entered. Every one pre- pent admitted there was a vast field for the upbuilding of the company and with new blood and experienced insurance men at the helm, they pre diet the business will grow by leaps and bounds. It took almost the entire afternoon to go over and discuss the business of the company, and it was unani mously agreed that an extensive ad vertising campaign will be waged for the upbuilding of the company. Those present from out of town were well pleased, not only with the excellent condition of the company, but with the cordial hospitality shown by the offi cials of the company of Lumberton The following officers were elected: Emanuel Barrick, president: Hon l-Tracey W. Pratt, 1st vice president; Chas. R. Adams, 2nd vice president; E. E. Page, 3rd vice president; I. Mor ton Adams, secretary; A. P. Page, assistant secretary; Alfred Adams, Jr., treasurer; I.

Barnes, -executive committee: I. Morton Adams, general counsel; Q. K. Nimocks and Robt. h. Lei, associate counsel. The following were elected direc tors: I. Morton Adams, Chas. R.

Where Applications for Victory Medals Should be Sent. Fort McPherson, Ga., Aug. 5. Applications for Victory Medals from the following: states should m the fu ture, be sent to the Victory Medal Officer, Headquarters Fourth Corps Area, Fort McPherson, Georgia: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississip pi, Lousiana, Arkansas, Tennessee.' The reduction in personnel has made it impossible to maintain Vic tory Medal offices at all points where recruiting offices were formerly lo cated. The consolidation of all these offices and the necessary work in this con nection has resulted in considerable delay in handling some applications. There are also a number of dischar ges in the possession of the above named officer which have not been returned to their owners because of improper or incomplete addresses hav ing been furnished. This office is now prepared to handle all applications promptly and would also like to hear from former service men who have sent their dis charges to various Victory Medal offi ces in the above states and who have failed to receive them. Remember, all communications should be addressed to the Victory Medal Officer, Headquarters Fourth Corps Area, Fort McPherson, Georgia. IF KIDNEYS ACT BAD TAKE SALTS Says Backache is a sign you have been eating, too much meat, which forms uric acid. When you tfalce up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it gen erally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like, you relieve your bowels; re moving all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizry spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad yon have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get ore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physi cian at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tables poonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous aalU is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and - makes a delightful, effer vescent lithia-water drink. ENCAMPMENT AT CAMP GLENN. Company L of Parkton Was Highly Complimented for Good Work The Boys Had a Fine Tine la Camp and Were Royally Welcomed Home. To the Editor of The Robesonian. Will you give me space in the good Robesonian to say just few words about our encampment at Camp Glenn Morehead City? s We boys had nice time down there. It was a little warm drilling, but we went down there to drill and came back with a ' clear . conscience that we had stood at the top of the record and that is what we did. Dress parades seemed to be the order of the day and when there was a cress pa rade to be pulled off, they always figured on Co. L., from Parkton, to be present and company L. was al ways on the job at all times for any thing. And what we are proud of is to kiow that we stood op the highest in everything: we went to do., and the entire regiment was highly compli mented for good work while in camp. Considering the fact that so many of our company had never soldiered be fore, such a compliment was highly appreciated by company L. Another thing that was highly appreciated by company L. was a free trip given by our captain, Mr. B. A. McDonald from Parkton. He gave the company a free trip last Sunday over to Beaufort, which is about four or five miles by water. After staying there a while, we all got back aboard for the beach and pleasured around the last Sunday "s" . w "v"iwnicn most nreacners eniov. and a respect for his kindness towards us while in camp. We left Camp Gleen Monday morn ing, July zo. entrained at o o ciock and got to Parkton at 5 o'clock in the afternoon and the good people of Parkton were at the station to wel come the boy 8 nome again, wnen we assembled in the armory we saw the nicest table well filled with sup per that w have ever seen at a pic nic. It was highly appreciated by the boys, We boys want to extend our many thanks to the good people of Parkton for good deeds of kindness that, they have shown us. It would be impossible for me to tell the mhow well I do appreciate their kindness. When peo ple are good enough to volunteer to take the boys home who live 16 miles away, i say that tney are pure in heart. Will close with best wishes to the readers of The Robesonian. 0. L.

Recently some wild rumors have Veen circulated connectiig some law- abiding people of Maxton with whis key stills, Maxton officers also being connected with these rumors Sheriff R. E. LW18, hearing some Of these I mmnn an1 linntninnr that 4hav mil1 . ... . t ,r nr o ... i not be true, wrote Mr. W. W. Smith of Maxton suggesting that they ought to be refuted by some responsible party. In reply, Sheriff Lewis receiv ed the following: Mr. R. E. Lewis, Sheriff, Robeson County, Lumberton, N. C. Dear Sir: "Your esteemed favor of the 2nd inst., to Mr. W W. Smith, has been handed me for reply. "The report to which you refer in this letter that a large copper whis key still was captured in one of the prominent buildings in Maxton and that a number of prominent; citizens, including the local officers, were pre sent, aiding in the operation and own ing the still, is a fabrication from the beginning. There has been no whiskey still operated in Maxton, none of our people to whom you refer are inter. ested in any still here or anywhere in any still here or anywhere else else. We are law-abiding cit izens, sober, industrious, look after not only the affairs of themselves but after the af fairs of the community in general, and have the public welfare of our country at heart. "I am at a loss to know how the report ever started unless by the idle remarks of someone never dreaming that it would spread as it has, or emanating from some evil mind who is desirous of injuring not only our town but individuals personally "Should you need the assistance of any of our people to suppress not only the liquor traffic but any other evil or violation of the law that comes up in the ounty, I am sure you will not find braver, more sober or in dustrious people than abide here. "I trust that you may give this let ter all the publicity necessary. in eluding handing it to The Robesonian for publication. I am taking the liber ty of giving it to the press, including the other county popers. "With every assurance of my per sonal regard, 1 am, , , Yours truly, ' G. B. PATTERSON, Maxton, N.
