| Sallie’s Temptations | CONCERNING MtlUG Sallie is a modern, pretty young creatufe. with all the amolitma and desires yon y mr. had when you were at the glorious age that lies somewhere between sixteen and twenty-five Sallie everywhere. The eyes of the world are upon the ultima* outcome of her moral «xie Is i-he going to weaken her creed of right and wrong uni! stretch her tihilnmohv to that of the girls who have a "good" timeo P Voei^little girl is just where Salih* is. She must decide for herself. They are all Sallies at heart Salhe's experience, put down truthfully from the pages of her life, may help - yourSatlieVi'fiach chapter i« complete in iLsetf. Read it this week. You will enjoy it. Mr. Wright Becomes Acquainted Although he had meant to be per- , fectly proper about delivering the message, father and Mr. Wright! both heard Johnson’s words. There j must be a complex in every woman ; for occupying the center of the stage, for, even though I knew the message was bad form it thrilled me to have smeone clamoring for my presence. I apologized and left the table. It was Ted. “Come on, Sallie, the gang’s outside,’ he said enthusiasti cally, “We’re going on a party out at j Yates and give Alma’s dance the air. Make it snappy, we’ve got thermos bottles and gin—even a victrola. It’s i moonlight and we’ll have a swim lat er on.” “Sorry, Ted, but I can’t make it this time,” I began, “I’m having din- i ner with dad and one of his friends,” making a grimace. “Never mind that home-body stuff, .ditch ’em, Sallie. You’re the life of j "the party. We couldn’t think of leivjr ingjiji behind.” He dragged m* % the^pfd. I #|>ok my head, remembering Marj»4e’s dare. “Ayr, come on, Sallie, I’ll call up your date and fix it with Paul. You aren’t going to break up a party, are you? Be a good sport, Sallie,’ he urg- j ed, “You always are.” Ted was on the right track now. I adored being called a good sport. Why not go? I argued. Dad would probably get on business or politics and then I , wouldnt have a chance to see Mr. Wright alone. I could hear the rest j of the crowd laughing and calling me to come on down. I made up my mind. Running baak into the dining room, I excaimed, “I hate to be rude. but they’ve come for me to go to the beach and I’ll have to leave.” “But, Sallie, what about the dance ? asked Father, pushing back his chair.! “Mr. Davis and I are closely asso- j ciated in business and he will certain- ; ly expect you to be there.” “There’s no use talking like that,! father, and what do I care, if the Da-! vises do get mad. Their dances al-; ways are sticky affairs and no one, goes If there’s anything else on.” “Sallie, I hate to oppose you, but j this time I must insist that you do i not offend the Davises.” “Oh, very well, then, father, let’s not have a scene,” I concluded and flouftced out of the room—if one could flounce in a slim beaded robe. “I’ll have to stay, I suppose, and go on over to Alma’s with Paul,” I, told Ted, who was still standing by tha door in the hall. “Shucks, I know you’ll all have a much jazzier time.” They began tooting the horn vig orously out in the car. “If I don’t hurry there’ll be two of us out of luck—” announced Ted. “Well, so long, Sallie, better luck next time.” I returned to the dining room. I was glad diuenr was almost over. 'There was a foolish lump in my tlyoat. Ev erything had turned out so different ly from the way I had planned. As we were going into the living room the ’phone rang. I hurried to an BWC1 H. Paul’s voice, apologetic from the start, came over the line; “I’m ter ribly sfrry.Sallie but it will be im possiBlw for m* no take you to the dance|ft)ud h*dW-*st; wired for me. to come ajpl heip, l\im take testimony ii} the WeHs case and I’m leaving on the 9:45 for New York.” “Ob, that’s perfectly all right, Paul, I didn't want to go anyway,” I re plied. I was overjoyed. Now I might have a chance at Curtis Wright. I would hav^ to work fast though, because it was plain that I had not made the slightest impression on him so far. “I was just going to say, Sallie,” continued Paul, “I can get one of the other boys to stop by for you. There are droves of them who would be in debted to me for life, if I’d ask them.” “Save that choice line for the girls in the Winter Garden, Paul”, I inter rupted. “As a matter of fact I could kiss you for getting me out of it.” “I%ne, I’ll be right over”, Paul re sponded with his usual pep. “Oh, go along with you, Paul, have a good time and I hope you get a kick * out of your trip. Goodby.” 11 ended the conversation. My spirits soared. Father and Mr. Wright were seated on the side porch. I went over and stretched out on the long, low swing, its myriad cushions, “squashy” and soft. “Why so quiet, Lamby?” Father fi nally asked. “Nothing, except I’ve missed out all „ around. That was Paul at the ’phone saying he couldn’t take me to th( dance and the other crowd’s gone You see, Father, if you had’nt inter fered," I added in an injured tone. The end of the porch was bathec in dancing moonbeams that playet hide-and-seek througji the swayinf vines. The fragrance of star-jasmim was intoxicating. I turned my hea< and looked up at the sky. “Did you ever ree such a love of a moon ?,y and I put as much pathos in my voice as I could command . Then I glanced in the direction of Mr. Wright. I caught him looking at me. I believed in mental telepathy and I used some high-powered concentra tion on Dad. He tumbled. “That's too bad, kiddie, that I spoiled all your fun. Tell you what, Wright, I’ve had a busy day cf it, suppose you and I discuss those matters tomorrow and you and Sallie go on to the dance.” “But Father,” I broke in, “maybe Mr. Wright has some other plans.” “On the contrary,” he was quick to answer, “I shall be delighted to be made use of, and since I have just ac cepted your father’s kind invitation to be his guest while in town, this is an ideal opportunity for me to make the! acquaintance of my charming hos tess.” (To be Continued Next Weak) 1 1 .' News -and Comment A High Day at Oakdale—Change in Days for Union Meet'mg and Move ment Looking to Division into Two! Unions _ .. „ j By J. M. PleVnirfg' ?i Mrs. F .J. BarneA and daughters,' Misses Gladys and Ruth, spent j Thanksgiving holidays with their re latives near Lumberton, returning to their home at Sea Gate Sunday, mak ing th etrip on their new Ford. Mr. Frank Cough and a number of other Christian workers of Lumber ton conducted-a gracious service with 1 our people at Abbottsburg on a recent Sunuay. Every one was weil pleased and want to see them come again. The fourth Sunday was a high day with our good people down at Oak-1 dale. Just as the pastor had finished ! his lecture on the Sunday-school ies- j son and turned to lie seated, he was greeted by Kev. W. II. Simpson and wife of Lake View, S. C., who had come to wroship with us. Mr. Simp son was invited to preach and by j much persuasion he reluctantly agreed to do it. His sermon was well; conceived, well delivered and greatly j enjoyed. Thanksgiving day was great. The weather was as fine as one could wish ; for, and so far as the writer can j learn the cause of our orphanage fared well. The writer conducted ser vices with one of his churches, and while he did not get the amount of the collection he knows it was a nioe sum: for he peeped into the hat and saw that it was almost full of money. | It was the biggest pile of cash he has seen since he was permitted to look through the window at the bank a few days ago. The union meeting of the Robeson association met with the church at Singletary’s Cross Roads Friday and Saturday. Forty-six of the 59 churches were represented. Each session was especially fine. Rev. D. B. Humphrey was re-elect Daily FssJrsn Hisi • v yriw I'tu- ,Jhasl tndt y A VERY GAY RIT OF COLOR is furnished for dull days of winter to come by this flaming frock of lacquer red Georgette.

The very long tassel swinging : at the side has a gleam of gold in . its fringe and chinchilla bands the i hem. • moderator; and Mr. MeKo.d flvrd was elected clerk. The writer, Rev, ikR. F. Sullivan, pa«for at Maxinn, and Rev. A. 1’. Stephens, pastor at Rid Springs* were appointed as program committee for the year. The March ; session will he hold with the church : at Tohirsville, pivd the session for, May was given to Antioch. Ti.e next union Will meet on Thurs day ami Friday before the 5th Sunday instead of Friday and Saturday as heretofore. This order was passed so as to give move of our tusdness and* pro.fesffignal laymen a chance to at tend apl not he away from their of fices 'i’SfiSaturday. Another movement was tj^un looking twards dividing the union into two unions—or.e on the north side if the Seaboard railroad, the other on the south side, this wist give the South Robeson union 20 churchf - and « preachers, while the North ItobpXon union will have 17 preachers and 30 churches. The ehurd.es of the association are asked to discuss this proposition among themselves as to whether they favor it or not and report to Rev. J. E. 1 a nier of Fairmont, who is the chair man of ti c committee, so that he may report the-next tinion. If a favor able report is given there will be two unions instead of one. There are 9947 members in the association with one church making no report, and we are of the opinion that Two unions cart be well supported and will be, and there by he <■* blessing to many others. Th ewriter fails to remember a bet ter session thgn the one just closed.. Singletary’s Cross Roads did themselves proud in en tertaining the union. There was plen^, ty and to spare. J^iaxton P<?p^rtme^t. By If. C. MuoNair Congress With I s Again Congress meets again for a 3 mdntls’ session. At this session they wiil make further efforts !o ‘'do something for the farmer’', which we. presume will come out as usual in their “doing something to the farmers’’. One is constrained to be lieve that ti e less our Legislative bodies meet the bettor for the public. Certainly there is a popular idea to this effect. Each legislative -body steps on somebody’s toes. Congress encroaches on the State’s rights and personal liberties of the tax-payefcc, while the Legislatures follow up with further personal restrictions, sonic of them under the guise of be nefits to th ©laboring class or helpless class. Ought a law he made that there is not a public sentiment for first ■ Ought not the Legislature to be the voice of the people? Or should the people .always he the performers un der the law and dance to the law’s music? Under the present practice we are little better off than when the “Kings word” was law. Maybe someone can advise where the money is that was collected for several years from the farmers on each bale of cotton lhat was ginned This must have amounted to over, or near, a million dollars. I dare say no farmer who will read this was ever benefited by the law that took his money from him, and possibly uncon stitutionally. But what's the use? Our lawmakers must have something to occupy their brains, except, don’t think of us farm BLISTERED FEET itch between the tots, aching, sore feet are eased and cooled at once by LICAREO.
