AID AND COMFORT TO MAIL-ORDER HOUSES. ,A comparatively recent order of the postoffice departmo *• ... W ashington seems specially li ned to-give a:d and comfort to mail-order houses in their great encouraging eoiB-s mttnities to commit suicide. According to present regulations, lall a mail-order house has to do to reach all the people en every rural free delivery route in the country is to obtain from a postmaster the num ber of patrons on every route from his office and mail to that office the num ber advertising circulars or cata logues necessary to reach every box, with instructions to the postmaster to have one sent to every man on ev ery route, and the matter is distribut ed by rural carriers. It is not neces sary to go to the expense and trouble of obtaining a mailing list and ad dressing every circular; all that is necessary is to wrap up the correct number for any route, stamp it for that route, and the faithful employes do the rest. *This makes of every rural carrier a delivery boy for every foreign busi ness house that wishes to take advan tage of this regulation so advantage ous to them. Hence the mails arc flooded with advertising matter of ev ery description. Officials of the postoffice depart ment in adopting a policy like this to increase volume of business are en couraging people the country over to trade away from home and give a death blow to the prosperity of their own communities. Congressmen who want to do some- \ thing for the ^people of their commu nities might well look into this. -o A policeman, a negro one at that, wa* sent to quell a reported distur bance at a meeting in Washington the other day of district chapters of the United Daughters of the Confed eracy. The police department refused to apologize, declaring that the police man sent was the only one available and that the color line was not given a thought. That was enough to arouse the ire of the ladies, and no wonde? they denounced the action as an in sult. Sometimes when the ladies are assembled in convention they get njjghty earnest and determined to car ry their point,-spite’n. When anybody gets ip something unpleas ant is filqp^r}|njhaf)pcn to that luck less person. The Associated Press, in reporting a recent U. D. C. meeting, quoting remarks made by certain wo men, often added, “shouted Mrs. Su and So”. Which of course ought not to be said. Whoever heard a woman “shout” the ren- l she makes in a public meeting V .\ . sir, we don’t be lieve it. The aforesaid remarks were cooed or submitted in properly modu ^ted tones; and it ought to be so put down. —-r> Mr. H. L. Edens wants the Leg islature to take the discretion of fix ing penalties for the crimes due to the criminal carelessness or vicious ness of road hogs—road devil hounds is perhaps a more appropriate appella tion—“out of the handh of sympathetic or political judges and fix the penal ties good and hard by legislative act.” It has been our impression that there are laws enough to handle peo ple who hog the roads, but perhaps Mr. Edens is right. New conditions are continually arising which make it necessary for new laws to be enacted. The highways are not safe either fdr pedestrians or those who ride, and any legislation thal would help to relieve the situatior would be welcomed. ..o President Coolidge will not be iesi popular by reason of h s practice ol the econonmy he preaches. When ar rangements were being made for hit trip from Washington to Chicago Iasi week he refused to go by special trait after the manner of presidents anc kings, but was willing to take a spe j cial car until he learned that the cost j would be $90 a day for the private car i with an additional charge of twenty five fares, notwithstanding the fact that only ten persons could be carried, | when the President sent to the tick ! et office to buy space in an ordinary I sleeper, saving some $1,700 of the public money. No, that is not likely to hurt the President’s popularity. - —t-o- —— i Two North Carolina farmers who were considered in good shape physi cally and financially, with every indi cation of having happy homes, killed themselves by shooting last week, one selecting the hour of 1 a. m. and the I other 6 a. m. Apparently neither of them had given any indication of any thing unusual in his mental processes. ! Verily we live in a strange world. The | only thing to do about such cases is to forget them. -« Years of “prosperous and healthy conditions such as succeeded the elec tion of 1890” were forecast for the United States by Secretary Mellon in the annual report of the treasury sent to Congress last week. An en couraging prediction. Mr. Mellon pro bably knows as much about it as any body. -o Fairmont Letter Basketball Team. WIm Two Victories '--Sficial 'aAa JI*eiWAdI Harris. P. tk^vnj tofpam turned from a trip to thb ibivW Rfo Grande valley in Southern Texas^And. report- ^ most, wonderful trip. In fact, Dr. Brown says that on the entire trip and .dur ing the three days stay in the “valley” not one word of complaint did he hear about hard times, and everybody seemed to be happy and contented, j While down there Dr. Brown availed j 1 imself the opportunity of buying ten' acres of citrus-growing land. Four and one half acres will be devoted to or-i anges and four and one half acres to growing grape-fruit, and of course the one acre left will probably be used j for a home where Dr. and Mrs. Brown will soon do their “wintering”. Thursday afternoon the basketball; team of the Fairmont high school went down to Orrum and in a very ! interesting game brought home the j “laurels”, the score standing 7H5; but they almost dropped their candy Friday when the strong team of Flo-! ral college came over and came very near giving ’em the lickin’ of their lives from the start, as the score Stood 4-10 in favor of the' visitors, but that “keyed’ our girls to the pitch where they almost said “Beat ’em or bust—and heat they did, in a score j 13-14—almost by the skin of their teeth, but then this line-up is hard to beat: Center, Sue Ashley; for wards, Kathleen McDaniel and Thel ma Eli well; guards, Mildred Mitchell and Mary McDaniel. Mrs. James Galloway was hostess to the Sidney Lanier club Tuesday af-1 ternoon. Cut flowers and poto plants were used as house decorations. After the business meeting a very I interesting program was given, the! subject being “Hail Carolina", with Mrs. W. R. Taylor leader; “North Ca rolina in the Sixties”, Mrs. Taylor;! “Sou.hern Folk Songs”, Mrs. J. Q. Buliaru; “The New North State”, Mrs. Sam Webster. Roll call was an-; swered with current events. A lovely j salad course followed by sillabub and pound cake was served by the hostess and Mrs. H. L. Price. Mr. J. McR. Bracey of Rowland,! who prcsonally conduct* tourist*, trips ;?'"KaarPPTtwaH,"-; Lputhern Texas, was a guest in the j Ik.iuc o$ Dr. a^dJSfr?. J. I\ short while Friday evening. Mesdames E. D. Bartley and T. R. Vance of Fair Bluff, mother ah ’: sis ter of Mrs. J. Q. JSullard, are spending several days in the Bullard home. Mrs. Julian H. Blue of Raleigh and Mr. Carltoh Floyd of Trinity college spent the week-end with their parents Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Floyd. Mrs. O. I. Floyd, who spent several days at the bedside of her mother, Mrs. Casandra Pasmore, in Carey, has returned home. Mrs. Pasmores condition is very much improved. Mr. and Mrs. Craven Pittman of Barnesville were in the city ^shopping Friday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Geregc B. Hall of Maxton spent Sunday with M*1. and 1 Mrs. C. A. Floyd. Mesdames Hall and RED PEPPER HEAT ENDS RHEUMATISM L. --—.1 - Red Pepper Rub takes the “ouch" from sore, still, aching joints.

Lester and Miss Glnoys i Wolff of Lake View were shoppers in the city Friday. I Dr. L. E. Ricks and daughter. Miss Dorothy, and grandaughter, little Jean Grantham, spent Friday i.i Wil mington with Mrs. George L. Gran tham, George Jr. and the baby, the latter two being patients in the Ma I rion Sprunt Annex to'the James V,tal ker Memorial hospital. The little folks arc very much better and are expect | cd to come home in a few days. mtiW ipnanr ' " .,-.rn - 'v ROAD HOGS Fear is the Only Appeal Which These Gentry Will Heed—Wants Another Law Enacted. To the Editor of The Robesonian: Neither ridicule nor abuse has any effect on the “road hog”. Fear is the only appeal which they will heed; therefore I appeal to the public sense of right and justice, through The Rob csonian, to see that the coming Leg islature enacts laws for the protec tion of those who are compelled to travel on foot. Before the advent of the automo bile, paralejing every public road, there was a well-beaten and plain footpath for the pedestrian’s use. A child of tender years was safe when alone on such paths; but now the au tomobile claims and uses every inch of the public highways and there is nothing left for children except dan ger and possible death as they hecd tssly trudge along the roads. Last eek at Croatan a little school girl --—-—-i_ was run-down and killed. A few days ago my little granddaughter while coming from the Lumberton school narrowly escaped being run down af ter she had stepped aside to the edge of the road. The State’s enthusiasm in building good roads for autos has caused it to forget that those who travel afoot are citizens, and* ought also to have the same right now to live and to tra vel in safety as they had a few years ago. Under present conditions, pedes trians, especially children, will not be safe in their, travels until paths are construoted at some distance from the public highway, or else, if they are „io be placed near ithe roads, something destructive to autos will have to separate the paths from the roads. The murder of so many inno I cent people along the" public roads ; ought certainly to appeal to our law makers for remedial legislation. Give pedestrians a place to walk, and take the liscretion of fixing pe nalties out of the hands of sympathe | tic, or political judges, and fix the penalties good and hard by legisla tive act, and then careless and brutal drivers will heed the mandate of the law, and not till then.

The fact, that the dis ease may be present a long time before producing symptoms notice able to the patient .adds,to the ser iousness of Brights disease. “Brights Disease” Under Chiropractic adjustments the amount of albumen gradually diminishes, and finally disappears entirely.
