THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1923 McNEILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY A McNeill Memorial Library is be ing established by the people of the. home community of the late John Charles McNeill at Wagram. These people rightly think that nothing canid be more fitting and nothing cooM piease John Charles more than for a memorial to him to take the practical turn of suppiyiag the gifls rnd boys of o!d Spring Hill with good books. This library is to be made up tf books contributed by friends and admirers of this briiiiant and most ioveabie poet. Each book edii bear tbe autograph of the donor. Books that you have wiii be quit^ as acceptable as new copies. Mr. J. H. Jones of Wagram paid Lamberton a brief visit the other jay in the interest of this memorial, which wii!, we feel sure, meet a hearty response from Robespnian readers. He left with The Robeson tan a number of book piates and we th&l! be glad to pass them along to those who want to contribute books for this iibrary. Mrs. Kate Jenkins, Maxton R. F.

STRICKEN JAPAN Perhaps never before in the his ary of the world has a disaster so tppalling, of such staggering pro portions, overtaken any other nation M has within the past few days made a wilderness of heaped-up dead md gnarled and twisted and charred ruins of areas in Japan that were tensely populated a few days ago. En its utter horror and desolation it passes understanding. The Red Cross, j pith its wonderful organization, al-i ready has begun its work of reliev ng the suffering. The Lumberton rhapter is asked to contribute $150 tt once and as much more as possi ble within the next few weeks. The "" . . Robesonian is aure that the appeal „f tlh^irafln Stephens will not be made in vain. ""0- .-" It often has been urged m defense of the Ku Klux Man that it punishes people whom the courts cannot touch, people whose deeds are evil but who stay within the law. That mob in New Jersey which so determinedly attached the meeting place of klux ers the other night probably figured the shsne way. Men who insist on taking the law into their own hands ought to bear up philosophically Un der the attacks of mobs who follow their example. . ' O ....— Mussolini seems to be .a desciple of the Beast of Berlin. Blowing a crowd of .children to pieces with shrapnel is a most astounding way of vindicating the honor of a nation But so long as a nation here and there puts devils in places of supreme power such diabolical crimes may be expected.
