CAN HAVE AS GOOD ^ASTlJMKi IN ROBESON AS ANYWHERE The annual Barkers-Ten-Mile com munity picnic waa Thursday a the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Town send and was attended by some two hundred people , mostly* from tha favored community but including quite a number from Lumberton, St Paul and other and farther-removed places. Nobody who gets an mvita tion to one of these delightful annual events, inaugurated some years ago by Mr. H. H. Stanly, ever thinks of missing one of them unless providen tially prevented? for such invitations are coveted and prized. Each one of these occasions seems to be better than the last, which is to say that each is so delightful and per fect that comparison is not possible except by way of an Irish bull—' one is as good as another and far better. In the Shade of the fine oaks in the yard of this splendid rural home the dinner, barbecue and otherwise, was spread on a long table and was dis cussed with keen relish by the entire crowd. This was a part of the day's proceedings wherein every one shone. Barbecuer Unsurpassed. There may be people who can bar becue pigs as well as Mr. H. H. Stan iy, but one could not be found the country oter who could excell him. It just isn't done. Mr. Stanly has it down to a fine art, and, when he pro nounces a pig barbecued you can bet your bottom doliar that all that bar becuing can do for that particular pig has been done and that the result will melt in your mouth with a sweetness like unto the sweetness of a well cooked tender spring chicken. Barbecuing a pig is a rite, a cere mony, with Mr. Stanly, and partaking of it by those so fortunate as tb have the opportunity is a treat folks travel many miles to enjoy. Mr. Stanly spares neither time nor patience in bringing the pigs to perfection. To prepare.the barbecue for Thursday's f^ast he started his fires at tWo a. m., and to furnish forth the feast three pigs departed this life. Most of those present knew what to expect, not only in ti e way of bar becue but in Brunswick stew, fried thicken and other delicacies prepared to the queen's taste, for Mrs. Ira Townsend, hostess for the day. ami Mr. Townsend made such a perfect preparation for the occasion that nothing was left to be desired. These annua! occasions have some thing of the significance of an old time annuai church gathering where all the people for miles around come together and bring their dinner, only dinner is furnished all and supdry by the three families among whose homes it ratates, those of Mr. Ira Townsend, Mr. Neill Townsend, where it was held last year, and Mr. II. H. Stanly. Feast of Mind and Spirit As Well As usual on these occasions, Thurs day's picnic was featured by talks, (Continued on Page 8.) Dr. Hardin Correct* False Report About Hog No Truth Whatever in ifr.nort That Hoy of Mr. A. R. Buiiock of Fair mont Died of Choiera And Was 8o!d. Saya County Heaith Officer. A report circuited in the county that Mr. A. R. Buiiock of Fairmont had butchered and soid a hog that had died of choiera and the iegai ac tion had been taken against him for the act is corrected by Dr. E. R. Har din, county heaith officer, in a ietter to the editor of The Robesonian. Dr. Hardin says there is no truth what ever in the report. The complete statement of Dr. Har din foiiows: "At the request of Mr. A. R. Bui iock of Fairmont, I am making this H statement to correct a faise report that seems to have been circuiated in that section. T, '-The rumor circuiated in the neighborhood is to the effect that Mr. Buiiock butmrered and soid, or caused to be butchered and soid, a certain hog that had died of the choiera; that iegai action had been taken against him by the authorities; and that he bed been fined or otherwise penaiized in a iarge sum, etc. "As county heaith officer, I have careiuiiy investigated the matter, and thete is no truth whatever in the re port. it seems that during Mr. Bui iock's absence from home, some dar kys on the piace, in trying to run some hogs back into an inciosure. kdied one of them, and, thinking it the proper thing to do. they soid the hog. Upon returning home and team MR the facts, Mr. HuIIock refunded the Money to the purchaser and the meat was not soid. The hog was not diseased, however, and the occuranee took piace dunng Mr. Buiiock's ab sence on a trip to Biaden county." —The condition of Mrs. Saliie Pitt man, who has been sick at the home of her sister, Mrs. Francis E.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT AT MAXTON Correspondence of The Robesonian. Maxton, Aug. 9.—Mr. 0. L. Horton, attorney, is associated in the office of J. E. Carynter, where he wii! be em ployed tn the practice of iaw. Mr. Horton secured Ms license before the Supreme court in January and secur ed his LL.D. degree at Wake Forest coiiege in June of this year. He comes to Maxton from Apex, Wake county. The people of Maxton are much in terested and concerned as to who shall be the next president of Caro lina coiiege and what its future shall be. Professor E. J. Greene, who has been president of the institution for four years and who was re-elected last May and accepted the position for this year, on the 8tb of July resigned, leaving it up to the trustees to make new arrangements. The executive committee immediately took steps to get a suitable man and finally elect ed Dr. J. Allen Hunter, who has been teaching in the summer school St Duke university for a number t of years and who was highly recommend ed. Dr. Hunter accepted the position, and plans were being made for the fall, when Dr. Hunter changed his mind and resigned on the last day in ?u!y. The executive committee has been trying to get another man to fill the presidency, but has found it difficult at this late date to find the man they want. A meeting of the board of trustees will be held in Max ton on Thursday, the 12th of August, when a final decision will be reached. The college has filled an-important place in this part of the county for the past ten or more years, and its influence for good is felt over North Carolina. It is sponsored by the Meth odist church, but many of the local people feel that it has not been ac tively supported by the 'church except by the people of Maxton and Robe son county, where not only the Metho dists but all denominations have sup ported it, and some pf those most in terested are suggesting that the col lege not be operated' this fall, and that the situation be put up to the next Methodist conference to see if more active support can be promised, and if not that the institution be con verted to other uses. The athletics and recreation com mittee of the Mormax club, of which Gus Hasty is chairman, bas made plans and is starting a tennis tourna ment among the local tennis enthu siasts.

Sun day school held Its annual picnic last Friday evening at Rockfish beach at three o'clock. A number of automo biles met as announced at the church, every member was provided a way, And one of the very best picnics yet was enjoyed—a plenty and then some. Supt. J. R. Russell was much encour aged to see the success of the occas ion. The pastor, Rev. J. J Boone, was present and participated. The splendid swim in the lake was greatly enjoyed by a large majority. Our town is still being bliessed with good preaching. Rev-J^tasser is still preaching every ni At at the Baptist church. He is a goA speaker and is listened to by large congregations at each service. Also a great revival is in session this wepk the coiored M. E. church, and ip. largely ^tended. . On -Friday and Saturday two very big mina fell near town, west and porth of town, but very little reached our town„Weare not suffering for ,rain* however, as the seasons are good in this community, and the crops look good. Moat every farmer is rushing to compiete laying by. We are indebted to Mr. W. M. Mer ritt and Mr. J. R. Russell for some of the best peaches and cantaloupes of the season. This has been a noted year for peaches. Hon. Collier Cobb al so has some as pretty as can be found anywhere. We see some melons being shipped from farmers near town, but we have been advised the price is very unsatisfactory. Mr. and Mrs. L. L- McDonald and sister, Miss Maggie, of Savanah, Ga., arrived Saturday night and are en joying their annual vacation with iov ed ones and friends. Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Perry and small child of Charlotte are spending their vacation with loved ones here and at St. Pauls. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Stubbs visited relatives last week at Clid, S. C, and other points in South Carolina and re port a good time. Mr. J. H. Stubbh of Beaufort is *!*o enjoying his vacation with his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. A. M Stubbs, and other relatives. Mrs. Ang Jernigan and children of Fayetteville are visiting relatives in } town. But of all the visitors, just one week; ago today to my surprise rolled up in I their car Mr. and Mrs. Roger S. Burns of Hazelhurst, Ga., two of the writer's most lovable and admired nieces and nephews. They moved from Robeson county about twenty years ago, and, while this is Roger's first trip back yet, Mrs. Bums was here about eight years ago at the funerai of her father, the late D. H. William son. To say we were proud to see them fails to express it, and we only wish their stay could have been much long er. They left early in the morning and took dinner in Columbia, S. C., and spent the night in Rockingham. The next day they went on to Siler City, Chatham county, where they spent three days with Mrs. Bums' mother. In speaking of Georgia they said the crops are fine. They like the country very well, but it fails to compare with old Robeson county. Much mow coufd be mentioned, but we rush. A week ago Friday night the re mains of Miss Bella Malloy of Flor j ida arrived on train 82 at 9:50 and [were met by a delegation from St. Pauls and Lumber Bridge and taken j to St. Pauls to the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. McCormick. On Friday ) morning at 10 o'clock the funeral was heid at Lumber Bridge and interment was made in the family cemetery. De ceased was of a prominent family and had numerous friends in this commun {ity The writer never has been foolish over pets of any kind, especially fowls. One of our boys is especially fond of pigeons and every county fair he visits he wants a new variety. Nc longer than this week he brought in a fresh pair from one of his speciai ! frineds, and I attempted to send them back. He remarked, "Well, pa, I never have brought a parrott here to pest i you yet." And dad shut his mouth. Mr. and Mrs. D. M.

An invitation to address Alabama furniture dealers onj the good roads of this state was de-! ciiped because of officiai duties.

It was reported that the -men were using loud language, some } of which wa^ interspersed with pro fanity, and that a pistol was fired by one of them. Going to the scene, the officers found a pistol in a Crysler automobile, and, leaving one of the men with the car, they went behind the house—a so-called potato house in the yard of Governor A. W. McLean. When the officers left the car a man dashed off down the street at a rapid rate in the car. Ladies living in the neighborhood were frightened by the disturbance made by the young men, but none of them agreed to appear in court as witnesses against the men, and so no case was made out against them. , BM< tJB ^ for Watch.
