Threats of Vioiencc on the Memorable Thursday and There Has Been Shooting and Dyna nsiting Since. MEAL ON NOW FOR MALE ANI) AMICAHI.E SETTLEMENT Mr. Isham Kinlav/, one of the prin. eipals in the recent happenings in Howellsville township as a resuit of contentions about right to establish possession of a tract of land, gives a different version of what occurred from that published in Thursday's Robesonian after an interview with Mr E. M. Britt of Lumbcrton. Mr. Kiniaw, in giving his version to The Robesonian this morning, said that he hated to do so but had been urged to do it by many people He said that if satisfactory deeds can be given the whoie controversy wiil be settled Sat urday of this week by his selling to Mr. Britt his interest in two of the tracts in question and Mr. Britt selling to him his interest in the third tract. Mr. Kiniaw was on his way to Wil mington this morning to see Mr. Lily Allen, who owns an interest. It was stated in Thursday's Robe sonian that there had been rumors of some rather stirring times in How ellsville as a result of an attempt of Mr. Isham Kiniaw to establish posses. sion of a place in which he claims 5 7 interest but that Mr E. M. Brit of Lumbcrton, who claimed the place and had a tenant there, said there was no trouble while he was there, that Mr. Kiniaw left after occupying an out house, that the house was torn down later by some tenants, as he under stood, but was not dynamited, as rumored. Mr. Kiniaw says he acquired a five sevenths interest in the place last September, Mr. E. M. Britt at the same time acquired one-seventh inter est, ) Mr. Lily Allen owning one-sev enth- Mr. Britt had a tenant on the _place, Mr. Gaston Guion. Mr. Kiniaw says that on Jan. 20 he put a few articles of furniture on his wagon and went to the place with his wife and children, that the latter went into the new house with Mrs. Guion to warm and that he moved his things into the log kitchen, which had been occupied by the tenants before the new house was built. Quoting Mr. Kiniaw: Mr. Kinlaw's Version. "Mrs Guion. came to the door and ! asked her for the h-an of something in which to cook dinner. She came to the log house and asked if I Was mov ing. I told her I had done and moved. She said I'd have to see Mr. Guion. I said 'I've got a right here.' She went to Mr. Todd's, one of Mr Britt's ten. ants, and Todd's boys got 2 or 3 ten ants and came up and demanded me to put things out and get out. I told them 'nothing doin', 1 had a right there and expected to stay ' They might have cursed a little hut quieted in and became friendly, and Mr. Guion was friendly the balance of the day. There was no trouble until E. M. and Charlie H'itt came. A few minutes before they came some shots were fired. I was in the house and don't know who did it. Mr. E. M Britt came up to the house and asked me to open the door. I toid him I wouldn't do it. He pushed against the door. I told him not to do that, not to open the door. Up walked away. I opened the door and saw Charlie ! Britt standing off a piece, about the wash-house- I said, 'Charlie, I'm in.' He smiied and he and E. M. walked toward the door. When they got about where the steps rest on the ground 1 told them to stop, not to come nearer. Charlie held out his hand to shake hands. I offered him my hand and he gripped down on my hand and started to pull me. 1 snatch ed loose and E. M. grabbed me by the jacket I tried to get E. M. by the col lar but my wife and her brother, Jim Allen, grabbed me and pulled me back, a part of my jacket tearing off in E. M.'s hand. When E. M. got my jacket and jumped on the steps I reached and got a bush knife from be. side the door and drew it back across my shoulder, and both the Britts got away from the door. Just then I looked in the yard and saw one of Mr. Britt's tenants, a man named Flavers, 1 think, with a pistol drawn on me, and he said 'Malt! Halt!' I looknd a little lurther and saw Guion with a double barrel gun in his hands kinder point ing toward the house, but not drawn * on me. I slammed the door to and when I did 1 caught in the jamb of the door a rod of iron that some one had thrown. This was about '! p- m. they end not bother mo any more then, but stayed around and seemed to be plotting. My wife saw Charlie Hritt at the barn bundling up some thing that site took to be dynamite and hiding It m FT corner, and one t f the tenants, Mr. Phillips, came and told them Charlie was planning some thing had. Sent Hoy After Neighbors. "I sent my 7-year-o!d boy after seme neighbors to stay with me.

Olive high school. Mr. Vernon McNeill, principal of the Boiton high school, spent the week-end at home. Mrs. P. S. Oliver of Marietta was in ' Lumberton Saturday. threatened to shoot them and she told him he was a d— coward if he didn't. She brought the boy to the house. About sunset I took out all the furni ture hut a bedstead, closed the doors and we left- I went out one way and my wife and her brother Jim went the other. Some one shot and my wife said the shot fell around her frock. I went by the stable where the Britts and their tenants were and told them not to bother the house. E. M. says 'Leave here', and started toward me. 1 started to stop and E- M. stopped and one of the tenants said 'Leave from here or I'll blow your d— brains out,' and walked toward the car as if to get something out, and I waiked on down the road. 1 met Ed Howell, who };aid they had forbidden him to go hack (he had been there with me), and I toid him to come on with me Later we met Horry Kintaw in his car. We got in the car and went back. When we got in about 150 yards of the house were signed down by a mat) I took to he Mr. Britt's Indian truck driver. When we stopped 3 or 1 shots were fired. We thought they were just bluffing. Three or four men came close to the car, with something in their hands, pistols, ! think, and ordered us to turn ami go hrt -k. Next morning we found that two bails had hit the car. "A few minutes after we left the log kitchen was torn down. I don't know whether it was dynamite or not. There was lots of shooting there un til 4 a. m. that flight, and the next night dynamite was exploded so close to Jim Allen's house that dishes were turned over on a table There's been shooting and dynamiting ever since. John Munn and Joe Biackman heard some fellows say they had been to Manly Kinlaw's house and shot 2 or 3 times and one hall hit a mule. One of Mr. Jim Allen's horses was found dead in his stahie Saturday night. Don't know what it died of."

Commissioners Set Up P!ea of Statutory Limitations in Suit For Partition of Land Answer Filed by County Attorney to Case Instituted by Gregorys for Re.I'assession and Partition of County Home Land Sets U.o 3. 7 and 20-Year Statutes of Limita tions. ' County Attorney David H. Fulier has filed answer for the county com missioners of Robeson county in th" suit instituted against tietn by Car! and Rowland Cr'g ry an<! Mary Gregory Armstrong for re-po-session and partition f<f the tands on which the county home is now situated, which, like the answer filed by the firm of Johnson & Johnson, att tneys for Mrs. Mol'ie R. Normcnt. defen dant with the .county commissioners n the action, i=cts up the 3, 7 and 20 year statute of limitations and denies that the Gregorios have any just claim to the iand. Mr. Fuilcr was granted an exten sion ri time in order to investigate a possihie plea of estoppel, but after going into the matter 1 e decided to use oniy the plea of statutory {imi tations. which he bclievt sufficient to win the ease for the county. He wil! contend that the d'jfendnm.s, if they ever had any right to the land, have tost it through the long lapse of time. The suit of the Gregorys against Mrs. Moilie R. Normcnt and the coun ty commissioners was filed immed iatciy after Christmas, the piaintiffs eiaiming that the lands formerly be longed to their grandmother, Rose McNeill Gregory, wife of R. B. Greg ory. and that they were soid to Dr. S. B. Rozier of St. Pauls by their grand father after their grandmother's death and his marriage to another woman. The Gregorys are suing for one-fourth interest, which they con tend belonged to their father, Mat thew Gregory, who died in 1920. The case wiil be a great deal concerned with the mental capacity of Matthew Gregory, the piaintiffs claiming that he suffered a skull wound in the civil war which so affected his mind that he was incapable of transacting bus iness. The county came into possession of the iand on which the new county home now stands through purchase from Miss Dora Rozier, who inherited it from her father Dr. S. B. Rozier. Bus Line Station Is Proposed Representatives of Caroiina Stage Line and Carolina Coach Co. Wiii Meet With Town Commissioners Friday Nigh) Relative to Estab lishing Bus Station in I umberton. Representatives of the Carolina Stage line and the Caroiina Coach Co., both of whom operate motor busses through Lumberiion, wiii meet with the town commissioners Friday night reiative to tip. establishment of a bus station somewhere in Lumber ton. Because of the many pressing matters of business to come before the town fathers, however, the hear ing on the bus station may have to be set for a spcciai meeting. At present the busses make regu lar stops at the Lorraine hotel and Buddie's parior, hut they aiso make stops ail aiong the streets to let pas. sengers on or off Sometimes they leave room for automobiies to pass and again they do not, and because of their size they often cause traffic to become congested even when stop ping at their regular stations. It is practicaily impossible for them to get inside of the iines which have been marked off for parking space. These conditions have caused town author ities to ask representatives of the iines to meet with the town fathers and discuss the practicality of a centra] bus station.

Andrews' Tenants to Stop Worts— House on )'!aee Harned After Pur chase of Farm by Dr. Andrews. i A)M! LNH LT!VATKH FDR !'\S) 7 Y HA its. Two mysterious warnings to Doion Hunt, Indian, tenant on the farm of Dr. N. H. Andrews of Rowiand, a few days ago causeci hint to be the iast. of three tenants to stop work because of warnings by some unknown persons The warnings not to work any more for the doctor, "if you do you may iuse," were too much for ! Hunt, and although he is anxious to! remain on the piacc, he has stopped work and is making preparations to "clear out." One of the warnings to Hunt was placed on the stable and contained the foilowing words: I ''You better keep your horses out of these stabci or you may iuse. don't sta in hous ! "Wareng "your friend." The other notice was placed on Hunt's ptow handies the same night., It was as follows: 'Don't work any piorc for the doc-i tor if you do you may iuse. ' "Stop ^ "you frind." ! Both the notes were written in pen-! cii cn tabiet paper. Dr. Andrews bought this piacc on which Hunt iived at a mortgage saie at the court house j door a few months ago. It is known as the Thompson ptace ami is located on the NeDonaid-Rowiand road, about 4 miies from the town of Rowiand. Shortly after Dr Andrews purchased the ptace, he went to it one morning to see about some work he was having t done in ciearing up the ground andj found that one of the tenant houses ! had been burned to the ground. He re- i buiit the house and put a tenant in I iH but the man yielded to warnings soon after hg moved there and left. I Another tenant on the piace aiso left, j and now when Hunt ieaves, as he is comtempiating doing, he wiil be the third to ieave. The farm has not been tilted for the past seven years anti had grown up a great deai when Dr. Andrews bought it. Dr. Andrews immediateiy went to work having the iand cicared off preparatory to making a crop in H)27, and he thinks this work inter fered with someone about the piacc. A whiskey stiil or liquor, he beiieves to he the cause of the warnings, andj he is anxious that he shouid be given the protection of the iaw in order' that he may cultivate the iand.

McXeiii, Manager. 4th Street Phone 94 Dr. Durham Quotes Boy Who Say* Liquor Can Be Bought in Lumberton !n Sermon at First Hsptist Pastor Denounces Professed Christians Who Show the White heather in Greatest Warcfare of A!!. "A .11 STIFIADLE FKiHT SCHJEtT Oh STRONG SERMON 'A Justifiable Fight ' was the sub ject Dr. ( has. H, Durham used in prta<-bing a powerful sermon at th< First Ilaptist church Sunday night. His text was taken from Timothy 11:18 "This charge ! commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophesies which went )<efore thee, that thou hy them mightest war a g od warfare. " He told of Paul giving this charge to Timothy. He said Paul was a man anti fought the good figlit of faith. Paul wanted to glorify and spiritualize the fighting instinct in him and charged Timothy to do the same. No Place for Coward. "There is no place in this warfare for a coward and weakling", he said in speaking of the Christian's war fare. "Cowardness is contemptible when you've the greatest warfare in the world to fight. A man when he runs^away and plays the hypocrite is a disgrace and is no kin to Paul or Jesus Christ. Jesus was a man. He wasn't a eoward and wasn't afraid,of anything Paul Jollowcd in his steps, if more people were following Christ and Pat.) we wouldn't have lots of things in the world that we have." He stated that Paul saw the importance of fighting the devil in himself first. When Paul said, "i have fought the good fight", he included the devil in him He brought out in that, that the individual in the church should defeat the devil in himself and outside of that he should stand against evil. "The devil is the invader in Lum berton and in North Carolina and each one is liable to attack by the devil," he said, "and you must put on the whole armour of God and be ready. It is the duty of every church mem ber in Lumberton to drive sin out of his own heart and drive sin but of Lumberton. It is also our duty to drive out the invader". Dr Durban) stated that to he a good soldier the name must be in its place on the roll and the soldier must be there when the roll is called. He said when the Sunday school roll is call ed on Sunday morning and people whose names are on the church roil are lying at home asleep because of laziness or indifference, they are en couraging the devil's work and in fluencing some one else, probably some child Places to Get Liquor. He said he had been informed that a boy under 18 years old In Lumber ton said that he knew of half-dozen places in Lumberton where liquor could be obtained. "You are a eoward if you know of some one selling liquor and don't try to put a stop to it. If every church member in this town would do his duty, there would be less liquor sold", he stated. Fight the Good Fight. Dr. Durham urged the large audi ence to "fight the good fight of faith" and fight it like a man and to stand up for everything that stands for the building up of Cod's kingdom. He said to be a fighter under the Stars and Stripes is fine and glorious, but stat ed that it was pathetic to see a man win victory like that and then see him go down, into defeat spiritually. He urged them to use their fighting in stinct for Jesus. "Do your best to prevent things being done that ate an injustice to men and women " The Christian and Government. This was the second of a series of six Sunday evening sermons on great texts in First Timothy that Dr. Dur ham is giving. He will preach the third next Sunday evening at 7:30, he announced Sunday night, and his sub ject will be "The Christian and Gov ernment".
