Although . teas turned bottom. upwards, Honditf the Occupants were seriousiy i hurts and the injuries of but one were seyious enough to 'require medical at tention "-"i ' ; '! -, According to one of the members of thd i band, the driver of the bus, who was net familiar with the road, look ed back as he turned a eurve near An tioch, and, when he did so, the bus plunged into the ditch on the right of the road. The bus was going at a rate of approximately ten nRles per hour, spectators state, and this fact is thought to be responsible for the miraculous escape of all the occu pants.

MiM, Causing 5 to 10 Minute Deiay—Loca! People Want Shorter Detour. -— r - ' ! i Lumberton people are objecting to a detour for all traffic on route 70 from Lumberton to Fairmont which sends all vehicles round by the oil mill, causing a delay of from five to ten minutes, and are bringing pres sure to bear upon the highway en gineers to provide a shorter detour.' The detour ^tas q^is^d ^By 'the^d^' stallation of a culvert n,e^r*.^e^^^ road on route 70, ^jork on digging a ditch f^r the and engineers state that,/the , wptiltj 'there will last for appro^ip&at^iy.fow [ weeks. After the culvert is-cumtdetddt I the road will be graded and- haihed to ; the heighth of the r&ilroad. The road .will therefore be closed for several ! weeks while these two projects are being completed, and it is expected that hard-surfacing it wiil begin short iy afterwards, necessitating another detour. -Local people are not agreed upon what form the detour shouid take, but it is the opinion of some that an other bridge can be constructed at a nominal cost on the old roadbed. They say that this bridge can be construct ed *8 feet wide across the ditch right by the side of the new structure which is being built and that it can be of such materia!. that it can be moved when the other side of the new bridge is completed. Sufficient dirt ds al ready provided to raise It to 'a'suf ficient height to enabie the Workers to carry on their construction Work under it while traffic is detoured over it. This arrangement would not cost the construction company'more than $20 or $25, it is estimated, and wouid be a great convenience to the public. People in Lumberton who have farms on route 70 and have to make several trips each week out to them are very urgent that some other ar rangement be made than the one which is now provided. -, 2nd Primary Wishart Township June 19 Will Be Held to Nominate Road Su pervisor—No Further Registration! of Voters.

Chamber of Commerce and Road Signs Leading Sagges tions at Kiwanis Lunch. ' FiVE PAVED ROADS COMING INTO LUMBERTON VERY SOON Alt who care to participate in the < Kiwanis club contest for the best sug gestion about how to advertise Lum i berton may send in written suggestion . to President L. R. Varser or Secretary i W. B. Crumpton on or before Satur i day of this week, June 12. The club [ will give a prize for the best sugges tion. What the prize will be has not been stated. Remarks were submitted on the subject at the weekly luncheon meet ing at the Lorraine Tuesday evening by Messrs. A. E. White, W. K. Be thune, O. O. Dukes, T. L. Johnson, j Frank Gough and Dr. E. R. Hardin,; the concensus seeming to he that i newspaper advertising, a chamber of) commerce* and signs placed on roads ieading into Lumberton are the three steps that should iirst be taken. Five Paved Roads. Mr. White said he believes in adver tising, newspaper advertising espec ially, and that Lumberton should be : advertised in every possible way. He called attention to the fact that with in about six months Lumberton will have five paved roads coming into it, and that is one thing the town should tell the world, ^e doubted, he said, if any other town m the State could make a similar boast. Hb thinks the county and town fathers should appropriate money to advertise the county and town, but Mr. T. L. Johnson and President Varser pointed out that that cannot be done, that it is unconstitutional to levy a tax for such purpose, and that funds must be raised by private subscription. Any way, Mr. White thinks a respectable fund for advertising should be raised and wanted a committee named to es tablish such a fund. "You can't ad vertise without something to adver tise with," he said. Mr. Bethupe read a parody on Humpty-Dumpty, reaching the con clusion that a chamber of commerce is the prime need of Lumberton and that that is the starting-point for any effective advertisiAg. Mn Dukes agreed with that conclusion. Towns without a live chamber of Commerce don't get anywhere, he said. Road Sighs Senator Johnson said a chamber of commerce is undoubtedly needed, and that need is recogpizedt but ^e has been hearing nMomtt' < a r chamber ^ < of bbthmsdoeeHaf sincerhe eahie to Lum 'bettoH 'hedrly 20 yearmagonandT & still serifs thatiitrwiM cost;more than'the MWM 'iti wlHing to putiinto it; Tie thinkg^the sensible thing now is to go ehOad and do the "thing that can be dchej'sandirndt to wait for something that moneyicannot be raised for. The thing that can be done, he said, is to place* attractive signs advertising the town on all the roads leading into Lumberton. Dr. Hardin agreed with the idea advanced by Mr. Johnson. Newspaper Advertising. Mr. Frank Gough came out strong for newspaper advertising. Nothing can take the place of that, he de clared. Mr. White brought out the trade extension idea again and insisted that members be added to the committee already appointed and that action be taken. Secretary Crumpton announced re ceipt of invitation for members of the club to attend the opening of ^ the Wrightsvilid Beaeh cauaeway oh June 10 and from the chamber of commerce and ether civic organizations of Char leston, S. C„ to attend there on June 2<L 27 and 28, celebration of the 150th anniversary of the battle of Fort Moultrie. Mr. Frank Gough had as his guest at the luncheon Mr. G. L. Davis, for merly of Lumberton, now associated with Mr. Gough in operating a hotei at Marion, N. C. Chairman T. L. Johnson of the pro gram committee appointed Mr. John Felts chairman of the program com mittee for the next luncheon meeting, next Tuesday at 7:30 p. m., and Mr. J. A.
