BETHUNE AGAIN HEADS KIWANimUB Unanimously Re-eleetod and Given High Praise for His Untiring Ef forts in Keeping the Club Alive and Active—Fish-Story Contest CRUMPTON WINS THE HATCHET W- K. Bethune unanimously was re-elected president of the Lumber ton Kiwanis club at the weekly luncheon Tuesday. Other officers were elected Tuesday of last week, as stated in The Robesonian a week ago. Mr. Bethune was elected after Rev. T. McM- Grant, who was placed 1 in nomination test week, had decided definitely that lie would have to de fine. Dr. R. S- Beam, chairman of the nominating committee, who ilaced Mr. Bethune in nomination, and Mr. H- E. Stacy, who seconded, I rave public expression to what every member of the club knows in de- j daring that the success of the club i during this, its first, year has been due to the tireless energy and de termination of President Bethune, j who organized it after much hard work and 1 as kept it functioning by his persistent efforts. Mr. Stacy said i that no other man in Ltfmberton j would have devoted the time and energy and ability that Bethune has expended on the job. In reluctantly accepting the office | for another year Mr. Bethune ex- j pressed appreciation of the confidence j of the members and said he would; undertake to continue to discharge | the duties of the office on condition that every member pledged his loyal j support, wh|ch was done in a ris ing vote Tl e program included a vocal solo by Miss Lula Norment, a violin solo j hy Mrs. Robert McIntyre, piano ac- i companimcnt for both by Miss Elsie ! Thompson, a reading by Mrs. M. A. j Waddell, and a fish-story contest in j which Supt. W- B. Crumpton of the! local schools beat Ertel Carlyle and [ M. F. Cobb in telling the biggest fish yarn, in the opinion of the judges, Dickson McLean, John Felts and A. V. G- Wishart, and was awarded the! prize, a hatchet entwined with chcr- j ries. H. E. Stacy, in presenting the ! emblem of truth-telling or lying, de fending on how you look aUit, said that one of the biggest lies ever toid was that George Washington never! told a lie, and that this emblem j went to Crumpton because he had to'd a bigger lie than the historian! who started that G- Washington lie. | Mr. Crumpton gracefully accepted; ‘he hatchet, with trimmings, as head i of the liars’ club. In determining who would compete n ti e fish-story contest Mr. W. W Davis, program chairman for the day, drew three cards from a bunch ! on which members had written their names. I Mr. Crumpton’s yarn was some-1 thing like this: Some years ago, when ' le v/as fishing in the South Sea is-1 lands, his boat sprung a leak one day i .lust as he caught a whale of a fish- i The leak was so bad that the boat! sank rapidly and his only chancetofi rescue was to ride the fish to shore, * which was miles and miles away.! The fish was willing and on the way! m they became greatly attached to each other. Kindest fish, Eh said, he I ever met. Wouldn’t accept a cent.: Fish get so attached to him that it i wouldn’t leave, but stayed about the ! pace- But later it got to drinking: 'ike a fish and went to the bad. So ho honestly won the hatchet. Recorder's Court Brooks Mil'er and Maud Walters Get 18 Months and 60 Days Re specVvely—Frank Walters and ! Wife l’ay Cost For Affray—Other cases.

DURHAM SAYS DANCING WILL MEET STRONG OPPOSITION Terrific Blow Against Dancing is Struck at. Close of Sermon on Practical Christianity—“Amen” Comes From Congregation When Appeal Is Made For Influence A gainst Dancing—Where Dancing Is There is Generally Some Drinking. SHOULD THINK OF GOD WHEN CASTING A VOTE Dancing was hit a terrific blow Sunday night by Dr. Chas. H. Dur ham, pastor of the First Baptist church, as he was closing Lis sermon on “What is Practical Christianity?” “Nobody can pu'll off a dance here iike the one a few nights ago, and get by with it without meeting the strong opposition of this church and the Christian people who believe in practical religion.” Said Dr. Dur ham in words that were full of meaning and power. “Amen” was heard to come from a very distin-1 guished member of the church, who was sitting more than half-way back on the main floor, when the preach er made an appeal to the Christian oeople of the town, who wanted the town to continue to he a decent place in which to live, to use their influ ence against such evils. -Go Together. “Reveling, drinking and lust are generally closely associated, and j dancing has been determined a part! of reveling”, he said, and continued,: “Where there is dancing, there is generally a certain amount of drink ing.” Dr- Durham said that upon inves tigation he had found that in cer tain cities, naming several of the larger cities of this state, the pro prietors, or people, who ran public j dance halls were usually irresponsi- j ble persons, who did not help to build j school houses, pave the streets or | keep u'p the churches. During a con-; versation with the chitf-of-police in j Winston-Salem, Dr. Durham said that the chief had told him the public dance hall was the first place he : went when he had an inquiry about i missing girl from her home. Practical Christianity. Tlie subject of dancing was the climax to Dr. Durham’s sermon, the Majority of which was built up from ! the 13th chapter of Romans- He de icrlbed in detail the diffferent re tirements for practical Christianity. He said that he thought a man was loing wrong when 1 e went to the j jallothox and cast his vote as a .tizen of the town, state and na ion, leaving off the thon-.ght that he wus a child of God. “All things that ire won... wniie are sacred tnings", i he said. The corruptness in politics would soon vanish if every man and ! woman ^would cast his or her vote with the* idea that he or she was cast ing it because of the fact that they were children of God. Ihe man who cannot love his neighbor as he does himself does not love his God enough, declared Dr. Durham.- Some people seem to think hat it is impossible to love someone else as well as self, but this thought is quickly thrown away after one really loves God as is his privilege. Another weakness of the average person, Dr. Durham said, is that is seems 1 ard for one to humble him- j self before his fellow-man. To over-1 eerne this weakness one must love God and have a true conception of practical religion. One must some times get down on a lower level than he generally walks ,in order to help someone else, and unless this is done the help is not coming as from a Christian. INSPECTING HIGH SCHOOLS.

Williamson Parkton, Feb. 2f>~ Please allow me apace to report the true account of a real ttear i.unt which took place Sunday night over in Cumberland, iuat across the county line in the Roslin section. Mr. Albert Guy^ who lives at Kostin, was coming home near 8 o'clock and in lest than <500 yards from his home a large black bear crossed the highway and Mr Guy had to use his breaks to pre vent running ms Ford over the bear. He re?onized it was a bear and rushed home and reported to Dept. M. A. McLean and J. W- Regan, ami they took their dogs and soon had the bear on the move, and much in terest pursued the race, expecting the dogs to bring the bear to bay or up a tree; but the dogs were unable to capture the large beast. A mes sage was phoned in to Mr. J- B. Mc Cormick to come with his pack of hounds, but as Mr. McCormick is a close observer of the Sabbath he de creed. However, the race was kept up till 3 o’clock in the morning and coiled off, and ti e bear is yet at large. 1 his bear has been seen by different parties prior to Sunday night, was seen one night last week by J. €• Hades of Roslin. One colored man says,/‘I’s been seeing dat bear l'er several years, but didn’t tell it case I know nobody would believe me." The writer only regrets he was ry.t in the race with Ralph and Queen. Mr. L. M- Powell made a business trip to Rocky Mount Tuesday. Times have changed in these latter years. I would ask to report a saw mill owned by Chason Brothera near their farm west of McNatt’s station. The power is furnished hy a tractor I was told the capacity is 4 to 5 thousand feet per day of as good lumber as any mill. Just t > think, this same tractor can log m mill, haul the lumber if necessary, and furnish the powtr to saw the lum ber. Since learning of Chason Bros, mill I was informed that Me Rainey Bros, on Buckhorn have performed the same stunt with Iheir tractor. And we still learn new ideas We hear no complaint of the at* tendenee of our school as there is no epidemic of contagious diseases. No mumps reported as yet.
