Just before noon Mr- Fred Brown telephoned Sheriff Lewis from Mid way filling station that a big Pack ard had wrecked 1 mile north of there and that a large quantity of liquor was * in the car and the occu pants * were running through ' the woods. Thg officers went to the seene and found Brown guarding the car and liquor, the sheriff hav ing depotized Mm over the phone to do so. The direction in which the then were last seen going was shown the officers, who *** in search for them. They reached Rea but found nothing of the white man and Ms negro chauffeur. On th@ returnmfnp they separated and started b*c* nn different roufti#. OMUcer J^revatt and Mr. Tom McNeill a citizen of Parkton who was riding with Mm saw the men in the Toad a few miles from Parkton and arrested them. A train was heard to blow just jyfcre the men were seen end the officers believe that they were trying to get to the water tank near-by and catch the train, but the train did not stop, being a through freight and un luckily for the escaping men did not need water. Neither of the men resismu ar Test, but asked why they were beinp arrested. No concealed weapons were found, but a chauffeur's license wag found on the negro that gave hi$ name as Percy Heath and his resi dence as 616 McRae street Wil mington and was issued August 2. A suitcase containing the clothing of both men was found in the aban doned car and a number of kodak pictures with some telltale numbers #ere found. The car had a New York state license number displayed on the rear. Pilot Car Ahead. According to eye witnesses the Packard was travelling at a terriffic Tate when a tire blew out and ditch ed the big car, the result of which slightly injured the white man and possibly broke a number of quarts df the liquor as a good many were found broken when the officers ar rived. Some are of the opinion that a car running a short distance ahead in which there were two women and a man, was a pilot car. It is report ed that a car with two women and a man came back to the wrecked and abandoned car twice before the of ficers arrived and asked when was the sheriff expected to arrive. Both cars passed Lumberton going north about 9 o'clock. News of the wreck and the efforts being made by officers to capture the men and liquor spread over Lum berton and a large crowd had gath ered at the jail long before the offi cers returned waiting to see so much liquor. When the officers did arrive such a crowd had congregated that it was almost impossible for the whiskey and men to be carried into the jail, and It is rumored that some of whiskey fell into the hands of some of the spectators who thought they had a right to take it home and use it for medicinal purposes. The officers are to be congratula ted on the manner in which they handled the case and for making the biggest liquor haul in Robeson coun ty. The quantity of the liquor cap tured might not be greater than that captured on othe? hauls, but the va lue of the cargo an# the transport ing machine is greater. MR. J. B.

JOHN D PURVIS Tailor National Blank Building. 3rd Street Lumberton Pays Harding Honor Business Was Hatted for One Hour Friday Afternoon in Honor of De ceased President — Meeting at Coart Hoase Wei! Attended—Spe ' eia! Mask. When the court house clock struck 4 Friday afternoon practically every business house, every professional pf Qee, ^he picture show add every otb ejt house in which business was con? dpbted bcdote tinte, closed doors, and Lumberton stopped to pay ho tnsge to the fate Warren Q. Harding mfmse remains were being laid to rest in Marion, Ohio at thp same hour. For one hour the, people stopped their business, but a large number made it their business to go to the Court house dnd take part in, or listen to a wonderful service conducted un der the auspices of the local post of the American legion. Special music for the occasion was rendered by & choir picked from the different churches and consisted of Mesdames L. R. yarser, R. A. Mc Intyre, J. H. Felts, T. C. Johnson, N A. McLean, W. 0. Thompson, R. E. Lewis, Miss Lina Gough, Messrs W. W. Davis, Lacy McKenzie, C. B. Skip per, & W. Dunham, J. H. Teague and Ed. Freeman. Spovwred hy American Legion. The exercises were conducted by Mr. W. B. Ivey, post commander of the legion post. As the crowd was as seaabHng the audience sang "Nearer My God To Thee", led by Mr. C. B. Skipper. The absence of a musical in strument and the blending of the har monious voices made it almost pos sible for one to see a casket, contain ing the remains of Warren G. Harding in front of the big crowd, many of whom could not suppress the tears. "This country was unprepared for the shock when It heard of the death of President Warren G. Harding, on account of the suddenness of it", said Mr. Ivey as h// made a few introduc tory remarks. "This is a time when the hearts of the entire American ci tizenship are sad", he continued, "and it is fitting that the American legion sponsor an occasion of this kind " „ #rs. Harding Remembered. A prayer, asking God to comfort the nation and especially give strength and courage to Mrs. Hard ing was offered by Rev. G. R. Mines, pastor of the Gospel Tabernacle church. The audience then sang, "Abide With Me," after which Mr. J. P. Russell spoke for a few minutes on "The Greatest Mother in The World, the Red Cross". Mr. Russell said that he thought it wrong for anyone to ever say, "If President Harding had lived, so and so would have happen ed." A male quartet, composed of Messrs Ed. Freeman, J. H. Teague, E. W. Dunham and C. B. Skipper sang "Going Down the Valley", which was followed by the feature of the services.; Mr. H. E. Stacy, though he <pd talk long, held the undivided atthR*. trnn of the- largo crowd, which seemed; hungry for the message that he brought. He began, "At this hbur .11 of the hearts of this nation with one hundred and ten million souls are turned toward Marion, Ohio." He re minded those within the reach of his voice that it was a tremendous mo ment when a whole nation is called to prayer, and of the time in 1918 when the nation knelt in prayer. "It matters not what our creed or politics we bow our head and shed a tear that our chieftain is dead", he continued. "Death makes no distinction between the high or low, rich or poor. It makes prince and pauper sleep in common dirt". "There is a lesson to learn in the solemnity of this hour, and that is-in the midst of life there is death". In speaking of the virtues of the late President, Mr. Stacey said that children yet to be born will leam and be inspired 6y the virtues of this man. He had the kind heartedness of Lincoln and the sacrifice for .n ideal of Wilson. "His desire for peace and concord amounted to a passion. He left when the nation was out of a state of uncertainty", the speaker said, and described the president's at titude toward his fellow man by say ing, that "he never trampled on any body's toes when there was foot room anywhere else.' Features of AdmhustratMn. ; The two features of the admini stration under the ledership of War ren G. Harding were both for peace. He was the promoter of the disarma ment conference, which was a nobie purpose and a step in the right direc tion, and the Worid Court of Justice, "He wore himself out", continued Mr. Stacey. "His life was a sacrifice from the altar of desire that this nation might participate in a World Court of Justice." He gave the characteris tics of six presidents as follows: Cleveland's rugged courage, McKin ley's gentleness and tact, Roosevelt's strength and fervor, Taft's good na ture, Wilson's intellectual idealism and Harding's intimate affection for folks. In closing Mr. Stacey said, The outstanding characteristics of his life were the kindliness of his nature and his lovable disposition. These stand out like mountain peaks upon the ho rizon, and, after all, in life or death, these are the elements that count. When we think of his life, we are re minded of the immortal words of Ten nyson when he said: "How e'er it be, i it seems to me 'tis only noble to lx Fata!

' 1 President Harding may not have written his name as high upon the es cutcheon of fame as some who pre ceded him, but none ever occupied the chair of President and went abont his task with a nobier purpose or a more iofty ideal than he.

Before adopting the resolutions the {commission considered the facta that the bridge would serve only a *mai portion of the citizens of the thin district and that the coat of the bridge wouid be so great that prac tically all of the funds available for road construction in this distric. would be expended. The resolutions as adopted are aa follows t NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RE ! SOLVED, by the Road Commission of Robeson County, in regular session assembled, this first Monday in August, 1923, 1. That we memorialize our road commissioner, the Hon. W. A. Me Cirt, not to agree to the construction of a bridge across the Cape Fear ri ver near Wilmington that would nerve only a small portion of the people of this his district and at such an enormous expense that it would practically absorb the entire fund al lotted to the third road district of North Carolina for permanent road construction; that, in the opinion of the Robeson county road commission, it is more essential to the welfare of the district that necessary roads throughout the district be constructed first. 2. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the Honorable W. A. McGirt.' commissioned of the third road district of North Caolina, and a copy furnished the press for pub lication. Other important transactions of the board were, the acceptance of the resignation of C. S.

Mem TYRE S LETTER Says He Has Been Misquoted—Did Mention Ku Kiux Kian and Knights of Columbus in Sermon—Desires t Conference and WiH Give gourdes of Information. Mr. Stephen McIntyre, Lumberton, N. C. Dear Sir: Yonr letter of Aug. 8th, received and contents carefully noted. From your letter it seems that I have been misquoted, however I did make state ments from the pulpit last Sunday evening in Red Springs in regard to the Ku Klu xKlan, the Knights of Columbus, and the recent trial at Lumberton, which was followed so closely by the multitudes, and in which there has been such wide spread discussion. The subject of my message on that , particular night was, "The Sins Of Society," based on Amos' prophecy. I feel that it would not be wise for me to attempt in a letter, to give the i statements under discussion since they would not convey the same meaning if they were taken oat of the context. However I shall be glad to go over the main points in the mes sage with all explanations, and give you my sources of information for all statements made if I may have a con ference with you. Since I am busily engaged in ,tha great revival here in Red Spring* I would suggest that you meet me here at some set time. I shall be glad to make arrangements for the confer ence at any time you may suggest Let me know what day to expect you. Fraternally yours, R. L. BROWN Red Springs, N. C. August, 10, 1923. Mrs. H. L. Price and son Master George Tapacott of Fairmont were Lumberton visitors Saturday. We want you for a customer. Open at H a. m. Close TO p. m.
