Too Expensive To Avoid
Detour Says Mr Lampley
Woaid Coat H00 to Provide Againat
Detour on Fairmont Rond During
Next 60 or 90 Days Says Man in
Charge of Highway Work—Three
Cuiverta and Fiii to he Put in.
PROGRESS OF WORK ON ROAMS.
Referring to the mention m Thurs
day's Robesonian of the protest of
some Lumberton people against the
detour from route 20 just across the
river via of the oii mill to get back
into the Fairmont road, Mr. J. J
Lampiey, in charge of State highway
forces in Robeson, says that it wouid
cost about $500 in the next 60 or 90
days to make provisions for avoiding
the detour by the oii miii, and that
he is trying to take care of the situa
tion and at the same time keep down
expenses. Two other culverts besides
the one now causing the detour, are
to be put in, one just as the Fairmont
road leaves route 20, another just be
yond the railroad, and within about
ten days the work of putting in a fill
between route 20 and the railroad will
be begun. It is not practical, and would
be too expensive, to avoid this detour,
Mr. Lampiey says.
Mr. Lampiey has been in charge of
State highway work here for the past
seven years, during which time he
has made his home here, and he al
ways has shown consideration to the
public, apparently making every ef
fort to avoid giving any unnecessary
inconvenience. ^
The same people, Jamison Bros.,
who are grading route 20 from Lum
berton to Bqardman, are grading the
Fairmont road. The grading has been
completed from Lumberton to within
about 3 miles of Boardman, and the
balance will be finished in 15 or 20
days.
Rowland Road.
The Rowland road has been hard
surfaced from Rowland to Mr. Jake
Thompson's place at Back Swamp
church, work having been begun a
week ago on the end of this road from
where it leaves route 20, 3 miles west
of Lumberton. It appears now that
with favorable weather this road will
be completed earlier than the estimate
made some time ago, placing the date
before September. The paved part
of this road will be 16 feet wide, with
shoulders of sandclay 6 feet on each
side, making a highway 28 feet broad,.
St. Paul Read.
Three miles of the St. Paul road
have been paved, from Ten Mde
swamp to Arch Morrison's gin house
on the French place, coming towards
Lumberton from Ten Mile. Paving
from St. Paul to Rock Fish creek
will begin in about 10 days.
Elisabethtown Road.
Highway forces are straightening
and widening the Elisabethtown road
from Dublin to the Robeson county
line. This road has been similarly im
proved for a distance of 5 miles out
Of Lumberton, and it is hoped to get
money to further improve this road,
which is one of the most important
that enters Lumberton. Only a small
amount of money is available for it
now.

CONGRESS MAY ADJOURN SOON
P ate of Farm Relief Legislation Like
ly to be Decided This Week With
Defeat of Pending Bill Forecast.
Washington, June 13;—(AP)—Ad
journment of Congress by the end of
this month is freely predicted by the
party leaders in the two houses. With
the fate of farm relief legislation like
ly to be decided this week and the
French debt settlement put into the
distant future, the leaders see nothing
to keep Congress here.
Limitation of debate on the farm
bill in the Senate will become ef
fective on Tuesday, with the expecta
tions of a vote not later than Thurs
day. Defeat of the pending bill is
forecast despite the efforts being made
to modify its provisions.
After the vote on farm relief, the
Senate probably will take up the Dill
radio bill with a view to action early
next week. That will about clear the
Senate calendar except for the rivers
and harbors bill which the commerce
committee is expected to report early
in the week.
A determined fight on a number of
provisions of the waterway bill is
threatened and whether a vote can be
forced is regarded now as somewhat
doubtful.
Upon reconvening Tuesday after an
extended lay-off, the House will dis
pose of a couple election contests and
then turn its attention to a number
cf minor measures while waiting for
the appropriations committee to bring
out the finat deficiency bill.
The election contests are those of
W. M. Gailey, Democrat, against Rep
resentative A. H. Walter, Republican
of the Twentieth Pennsylvania dis
trict, and Don H. Clark, independent
Republican, against Representative
Edwards, democrat, of the First
Georgia district. The elections com
mittee has reported unanimously in
favor of the incumbents.
Indian oil leasing and aviation bills
will occupy the House through Friday
when another three-day recess is like
ly to be taken.
Raleigh, June 11—(AP)—Alvin
Mansel, negro, under sentence of
death for an attack upon a white wo
man in Buncombe county, was today
reprieved by Gov. McLean from June
18 to July 9. The reprieve was grant
ed "for the purpose of further inves
tigation," the governor said.

Broad Ridge (Orrum R. 1), June 11
—On Sunday p. m., just before the
sun sank behind the western horizon,
the death angel came to the home of
Mr. Charlie Floyd and called his be
loved wife to her reward. Although
deceased had been in declining health
for some time, her death came as a
shock to the entire community. She
had been suffering for some time
with high blood pressure but her con
dition suddenly grew worse last Tues
day and kept growing worse until the
end came. *
Deceased is survived by her hus
band and three children. The remains
were taken to Zion, S. C., Monday
where the funeral was conducted and
the remains were laid to rest in the
family burying ground. A large crowd
attended the funeral. Seven automo
bile loads attended from here and three
went on the truck which took the
remains. We sympathize with the
bereaved ones.
