LINDSAY HOLMES, INSPECTED
COLORED CITIZEN, DEAD
Lindsay Holmen, aged aixty-one
yean, a highly respected colored •dt
iaen, died at his home two miles
southeast at Asheboro Sunday night
following several months feeble
health. He was one of the old type
of Southern negroes who was energet
ic, honest and straightforward.
Lindsay was thoroughly accommo
dating and reliable and numbered his
friends among white and weH as col
ored. He practiced economy and
dealt fairly with everyone. He earne
to Asheboro thirty-one years ago and
for many years was in the employ of
the Hammer family entirely but for
Capt. F. C Robbins,
93, Died Tuesday
Born In Trinity Township, Ran- 1
dolph County—Member Da
vidson Bar 50 Years.
Captain Frank C. Robbins, for 60
years a member of the Davidson coun
ty bar and an active attorney for
more than fifty years, , died at his
home in Lexington Tuesday. Death
was hastened by a fall which he sus
tained Sunday night at his home.
Captain. Robbins was 93 years old on
July 30th, last, and Upon this occasion
was honored by a number of his
friends and relatives who gathered to
pay tribute to his long and useful
life.
Funeral service was held Wednes
day at the First Presbyterian church,
Lexington, and interment was made
in the Lexington city cemetery.
Captain Robbins was a native of
Trinity township, Randolph county, a'
son of the late Rev. Ahi Robbins, and
a brother of the iate William M. Rob
bins. Captain Robbins was a law
student when he left his studies to
join the Confederate army with which
he served with distinction. He was
four tinies wounded in battle. After
the war, he had for years been a
prominent member of veterans’ or
ganizations and for several years past
was judge advocate general of North
Carolina Confederate Veterans.
Following the war, Captain Robbins
completed his law course and began
the practice of his profession in Lex
ington. He was long regarded, as one
of the State’s leading lawyers. For
years he was a member of the Lex
ington schotd board and was an elder
in the Presbyterian church. Though
all his life interested in public af
fairs he never sought public office.
Capt. Robbins was' perhaps the
best known man in Davidson county
for the past quarter century or more.
He was a typical product of the old
south, a man of unfailing courtesy,;
as exemplified when Governor Mc
Lean called upon him at his hdme!
in Lexington last month. Although,
enfeebled by his years and long ill-!
ness, Capt. Robbins arose to greet bis
guest and when the governor sought
to assist him to his seat, insisted on!
standing, saying, ’T will not be seated!
while the governor of Worth Carolina1
is standing.”
Surviving the deceased are the
wife, two sons, Hargrave Robbins,
manufacturer, oLChester, & C.; Ros
well B. Robbins, register of deeds,
of Davidson county, and three daugh-'
ters, Miss Sue Robbins, of Asheville;;
Mrs. C. F. Liowe, of Winston-Salem,
and Mrs. W. C. Pancake, of Staun
ton, Va.
Big Demand For Tires t
Proves Advertising Pays
Poes it pay to advertise ? Ask Jess,
'Garner and Henry Ingram. They
started last week a thirty-day tire
sale at their three filling stations.
Heal bargains were offered in Good
rich Silvertown Cords, in fact 25 per
cent was lopped off the regular re-,
tall price. These tire bargains were!
made known to the people through a1
page advertisement in The Courier
with a liberal sprinkling of page!
posters over the county. These tire
dealers have been surprised at the'j
fast rate at winch the automobile,
owners of the county have taken ad
vantage of their attractive offers. It'
is going to take a large number of,
tires to keep the demand supplied
during the 30 days, but Gamer and
Ingram advertised a thirty-day tire,
reduction sale, and they are going to,
Stick it otft even if they have to make
a special factory order for more
tires.
