Hymn, "Jesus Calls Us Over The Tumult." The address of welcome was given by Mrs. W. A. Graham. Societies responding to roll call showed most ef the organizations represented, and the reports from all were very grati fying indeed, and showed much in terest in the work. Mrs. Pope, our efficient superintendent, .then gave us a splendid address, which was eagerly listened to. "The Standard of Excellence and How it May be Attained".' was dis cussed by Mrs. L. R. Stephens. "Our 1 raining bchool at Louisville and North Carolina's part in W. M. U Work" was then given by Miss Lois Miller, who has been a student at the training school. for some time. Miss Miller's address was very interesting and instructive, and made us feel more deeply interested in the work of gaining our young ladiea for service wf the Master both at home and in foreign lands. Mrs. Alf. H. McLeod gave us much new food for thought n the interesting and vital subject "The Progress of Education in our Denominational Life."

U. of the Robeson Baptist association. The next meeting will be held with the church at Baltimore, in October, 1922. , MRS. H. T. POPE, Supt. MRS. L R. STEPHENSSec. THREE HUNTERS KILL 45 SQUIR RELS IN A SHORT MORNING That Happened in Bladen, Where Squirrels Do Much 'Abound. . Messrs Alex Prevatt and Tom Cul- breth, who live near Pembroke, blew into Lumberton Friday afternoon with a bunch of squirrels that was sight to behold.- They had enough squirrels to stock the children of Israel and the horsemen thereof. They said that bunch was only part of the fruits of a hunt in . Bladen county, where the "law, they say? places no limit on the number one may kill. They went into Bladen, 13 miles below Euzabethtcwn, Thursday afternoon and whetted their appetites by killing a few squirrels, and the next morning Messrs. Prevatt and Culbreth, with another man, killed 45 squirrels by by 11 a. m. and decided to call. it a day. Never saw the like of squirrels in all their born days, they said, and The papers of Mr. Also-Ran:Dolph Hearst continue as purveyers of the enlightening biography of that prince of egoism McCombs. - We v have seen long since that he, alone and unaided, forced a certain Mr. Wilson on the people of these United States, and that his is th ; responsibility for Mr. McAdoo, but it now : turns out that he told the Republicans, all. by himself, that if they ran Mr. Harding instead of Mr. . Hughes, the Hon. Woodrow would be no more This was in 1916. It is evident that Mr. Mc Combs was playing soltaire with promising politicians, as cards, a kind of modern Warwick, the kingmaker. lo handle one political party , has ever been a parlous undertaking, but this young gentleman with the gayest abandon in the world took two of them to his bosom and played them one against the other. Pity he over, looked Debs. It "would have been a great juggling act to keep three candi dates in the air. . i. Further than-this,, we leam that Mr. Wilson had ambitions tending to a life tenure as President ' we doubt it, but accepting as much of. this, biography as one pleases as . true, there are a whole lot of us who are conscious of .the nauseous stealing over us at an attempt to blacken one whom we have erstwhile lauded on occasions. And' a thought strikes us anent the Hearst purveyor of printed things that visionizes a dark-browed bird that swings patiently over places from where odors rise to taint the breeze. - - " EE I YOU KNOW HIM H.
