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. D. 4, wii! gladly re
vive and acknowledge contributions
)f books.
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.

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.

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.

The concert cia^ representing the

Tuesday evening to a smaii but

Every nuhiher on* the !h*ogrsm
was a feature, and repeivd! generous
appiause. The concert was, las Dr. R.
C. Beaman, pastor of Chestnut Street
Methodist church, said in a short
taik during the exercises, "A con
crete iiiustratidh of what the Odd
Feiiows' orphanage at Goldsboro is
doing". Dr. Beaman aiso stated that
he was the first pastor at the or
phanage; which was more than 30

selections which were exceptionally
good. Its members consisted of Irvin
Gallop, clarinet; Ivy ' Strickland,
trombone; Harry Merritt, comet;
Jaek Johnston/'dropsa;* Royal GaMup
and Nellie McKinney, first violin;
Lucy Johnston and Mildred Ander
son, second violin.
Miss Juanita Taylor, who has a
wonderful voice, impressed the audi
ence very much when she sang
"Carol of the Lark". The girls quar
tette, composed of Misses Juanita
Taylor, Genevieve Dalton, Helen
Wiggins and Minnie Westmoreland,
sang a "Medley from the South." The
blending of the voices showed ex
cellent material and the applause
continued until an enehore was giv
en.
Little Miss Mary Franltlin and
Master George Drake sang "Piller
Fites", using pillows between verses
in a typical pillow fight. This was
very funny and caused the little ones
to win a good bit of admiration.
The members of the class were
cared for during their stay in Lum
berton at homes of the local Odd
Fellows.
When the class returns to Lum
berton a larger crowd will go to
their concert, as everyone present
Tuesday night will say how good it
was, and will insist on their neigh
bor going.
