PCft^AB. INJ ADVANCE. MAXTON, NORTH CAROLINAJA / Vi MORMAX CLUB MET IN-— REGULAR SESSION The January session of the Mor ijpax Club was held last nigfyt. in .the fining room of Carolina College, to another such meal as the Carolina College Club has been preparing for this occasion lately. To say the dats was enjoyed by the fifty or ni^re present would be mildly ex* pffessing the event to.folks who know tht crowd's capacity for disposing of lions.” To add to the occasion a hbenyof the college girls rendered jL^id instrumental numbers while ~**-Per was served. ,, There were present about twenty fW<s members presents and about the same amounj of invited guests. The only business matter brought before the body was the discussion of the Parkton-Rowland highway, by Wray of Maxton. ; Mr. Morrison Peterson was appoint ed by the Club to represent them in ' connection with the plans the Wo ifian’s Club is entering in upon the advisability -of establishing a civ*c cpnlmunity house or hall*where meet ings of interest can be held. The Club was impressed with the idea and willing to render any aid they can towards its establishment. The meeting was then turned over to Mr. J. E. Carpenter, who -called upon members and guests for talk* upon subjects of civic and community good. The following repsonded with impromptu talks: H. A. McKinnon, J. B. Sellers, N. J. McRimmon, A. K.

McCallunv, Jr., Dr. Carlyle Morris, Marshall Thompson. - At the meeting of the stockholders of the Bank of Robeson Mr. W. H. Knsty was eleced to the board of di rectors. Mr. Hspsty is one of Max ton’s most progressive young men, and we feel that th* honor is de served. ' The Bank, of Robeson has shown a steady growth, even .during the critical times that Maxton has just passed through, and the fact that they were able to take care or the-additional demands made upon them with the resources they had in hand, denotes the conservative- abil ity its officers have displayed. Mr. John McCallnm was appointed by the board of directors as assistant cashier. PEOPLES BANK HAVE STOCKHOLDERS MEETING ’ VTuesday afternoon the. officers imdtStockhiolders of the Peoples Bank met in regular session for the pur pose of electing officers and review ing the busness of the bank.

The only change in the nel qf the bank was the elec tion" d*I Messrs. J. K. Me Girt and J. ■P. Jackson to the board of directors. The addition of these two gentlemen to the board of directors denotes the progressive policy of this institution in its efforts to serve its patrons and the community in 'every manner consistent with good banking.

A SUCCESSFUL 1NDUSTMT ~ • , The following clipping from an ex change we feel is worth reprinting: ■ Lewotst' .checks have been mailed ont by the Caldwell County Cooperative Creaniery drn-ing *fhe past few days. This creamery* is owned by the farmers of the county. It -was bult to prbvide a local mar ket for butterfat, and as an aid in the development of the dairy ing industry in the county. In both respects it has been uansT -Hally successful. There is in a radius of ten miles of Maxton sufficient pasturage and enough dairy cattle to- form the nu cleus of a profitable dairying iudustry here, which should prove as success ful as the Lenoir creamery and hun dreds of others that are properly and economically ^managed. With la bor uncertain and high it can not but be economy to raise for sale any thing that can harvest the crops with out human aid. Eleven months in the year practically cattle will feed themselves if you will only turn them in to where they can secure it. And the succulent hays, clover and le guminous crops they would harvest and the fertility they would add to the land could not be measured. We must eventually replace a part of our coton crop n something else, and there is no occasion far waiting until dire necessity i drives us Jo it. -Gattle is one thing and dairying is another, and the day will soon ar rive when cattle will play a, large part in the agricultural program oi our section, with its plentiful water and wide meadowlands. Mr. Jim Johnson, of St. Paul’s was in the city Mnday afternoon in the interest of a community driiinage project on some land about two miles from Parkton. The tract comprises' about 3 miles of land and the water which stands upon it makes valuable bottom land ~ unprofitable farming. The parties most interested are be sides Mr. Johnson, are McCormicks and MeNatts, who have large holdings in the section, Messrs..A. L. McEaehin, C. IJ. Thompson and Cap McQueen were attendants in Charlotte this week upon the State Convention of Chevrolet Dealers. They hope to be able to drve back a few cars of the new models which have created such a sensation in the automobile world. Ten housaijd Tarheel farriers arel receiving monthly checks from, ice -ream factories, creameries, cheese and milk stations, for milk delivered says John A.

Jjj the inaugural of Governor Me Lean there is a ring1 of wholesome frankless and absence of verbosity a' direct expresson of what he is in volving in his mind and what hi vtants his administration to be featui ed by 1 which Slaves no misgving a; to his purpose and his ideals.. Then is no beating about the bush in touch ing, upon any of the paramount issues which he conceives to be preemineir. in the minds of the people of thi state. The lack of1 sheer flamboyancy in the address was expected. Governoi McLean speaks simply'and drives straigh , to his point. No equivocal phrases' are found, nq qualifying clauses abound. There is the au thoritatK J touch of one who believe* that he has come to this high post by virtue of the suffrage of the people for a laudable purpose and at a stregetic time, and it will be his earn est minisry to cany1 out the will ol the people and look well, to the ma terial wellbeing of the common wealth.. ‘ 's? t Governor McLean rings right, es peeially on such questions as educa (tion and jpgrcultute, laying particular ; emphasis spon “rural betterment.” I He hink|! that ;this, is the -biggesi thing that North Carolina can ap ply itselr to now, namely to make the rural cient, mt sive, moi e productve, more in keep ing with ban cento ide of the state more effi re attractive, more progres the civilizaion of the ur rs. fi - —Charlotte News.

Sanatorium, N. C., Jan. 13.— “Rest! I wish I could impress upon the general public the idea that it s» rest, systematic rest and not raw eggs, milk, sleeping porches or cli mate, that cures tuberculosis,” said Dr.' P. P. McCain, superintendent ol the North Carolina Sanitorium. j ‘The State of North Carolina in vests thousands of dollars every year in tuberculosis work. But it is not sleeping porches and food alone that repay the State in arrested cases ol tuberculosis for its investment. It is the strict regimen of systematic rest enforced by the physicians at the Sanatorium that pays the State re turns for its'money in ‘cures’-of its tuberculosis citizens. | “Pulmonary tuberculosis is an in i flahration or ulceration in the lung. If you have an ulcer on your hand you use the hand as little as possible i until the ulcer heals. It should be the same way with a diseased lung. The more exercise a person takes the more often he has to breathe. This increas ed breathing may at any time do serious damage *to tjie ulcer in the lung. The more quiet a person who has tuberculosis can be the better i chance thj tuberculosis in the lung has to heal. “When a patient first enters tht j Sanatorium he is put to bed for com j plete rest until some weeks after ali ; symptoms subside. Then the paient is allowed to begin sitting up in a re i dining chair for an hour a day ai ■j first and his time up is gradually in | ci eased until after a few weeks h' j can sit up a good part of the day Finally the patient is allowed to taki •sfinit outdoor exercise, usually walk j iiig. The time out of bed and on ex ercise is taken only by order of thi physician, and not until the patient’: lung conditon has healed sufficient!! to allow it. Every patient has to re cline so many hours every -morninp and spend two hours quietly ,in hoe ;each afternoon. i “When the patient leaves the Sanatorium his period of rest is no over. In order to prevent a relapse hi must rest and continue to rest for n certain part of each day. “Tuberculosis in the lungs is like a house on fire: Water will put out fire; rest will quench tuberculosis in the lungs. The secret of getting wel of tuberculosis is simple; Rest, rest systematically and continue to rest Good food, fresh air and a suitable climate are helpful factors but alone they will not keep a sufferer fron tuberculosis from the grave They hav, to be combined with intelligent, sys tematic rest. “So far rest is the only generally effective remedy for tuberculosis. As soon as the general public realizes this and acts upon it the road to re covery from tuberculosis becomes as certain, easy and secure as it can .be made today.” ,< MAXTON TO BE CENTRE OF POWER DISTRIBUTION — j The Yadkin River Power Com pany have had three forces of work men in Maxton recently rebuilding the old lines and placing equipment for a large substation that will sup ply power for about 25 or 30 towns this company has recently taken over in this section. There are three dis tributing lines running from this sub ! station. The forces at work have torn down and rebuilt all lines and , leads in the fcity and are nearly (through with their work. Maxton has electrical equipment second to none in this section now, 'and ct'.y need some manufacturing enterprises to use the power available. Tise work has inconvenienced some of the people in town some owing to the necessity of/having to cut off to do somework, this paper suffering maybe more than any other, but we arc now rewarded by having connection^ from which we should never expqr ence* further trouble. __;_f-' Senators Overman and Simmons have presented the name of A. J. Maxwell to fill the vacancy on the Inerstae Commerce Commission mad vacant by the retirement of Mark W. Potter. v . \. McCOLL POLICEMAN SHOOTS HOBO IN SELF-DEFENSE John Hamilton, white man, is in the county jail recovering from a pistol Shot wound in the fleshy part of the leg, a result of an encounter with' Chief of Police P. H. Hudson of McColl Monday. According to the McColl officer, he was warned by telephone from Dillon that Hamilton had boarded 'a ! freight train and was beating his jway toward McColl, and that he was ! wanted in Dillon for car breaking. ^Hamilton got off the, train before it (.reached McColl and walked into | town. When the officer started to jward hinr he moved away and was i called to stop. He drew a 38 calf ber pistol, ponted it at the police man over his shoulder and ran. Hudson'fired at him, one of the b lets taking effect in the calf of leg, but he ran on to the cotton mil* land hid in a drain pipe, where ht was later discovered and arrested. Mgistrate H. B. McIntyre sen tenced him to pay a fine of $200 pr j serve 80 days on the county chain gang for hobong, resisting an offi ! cer and cafying a pistol. J Sheriff Weatherly, who happened to be n McColl Monday brought him j to Bennettsville and locked him in jthe county jail until he is able to go I to the gang. Hamilton, the sheriff says, clams ito come from Weaver, West Virgt jnia, and tells a rather fishy tale ot j his wife and baby being burned to .death in their home there some | months ago. He also says that he has been in this section about six j months, but could not tell where he ; had worked or any nlace he had jbeen. The officers have asked for I reformation about him from West • Virgnia.—Pee Dee Advocate. v ! SAVE THE BROOD SOWS. ^ : Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 16.—“Refer ence was made in a former article to a premium of 10 to 15 cents per 1(11 pounds paid for Ohio Hogs. This premium is not due to their place of ^ nativity but to their known quality, ' says W. AV. Shay, swine extension specialist for tse State College of Agriculture. i “These hogs are known to be corn fed. They are what the packers wants, and is willing to pay for. North Carolina hogs have topped the market in competition with the Ohio nog. I "We are giibly told that the North Carolina farmer cannot compete with the Ohio farmer in the pro duction of corn fed hogs. It is said that nothing is so highly commend able as a desire for information; with this assurance ig mind, I am moved ! to ask why thiis inability on the part of the Norh Carolina farmer whose farm will produce a reasonable yield jof corn per acre? I “Compared with he Ohio farmer: i Op- land is cheaper I Labor is cheaper Taxes are lower Our grazng season is longer I We can raise winter farrowed pigs We can profit by the seasonal price trend t Our market is higher. * • ■ “We might be led to sympathise with the Ohio farmer who produces corn fed bo&s .under such conditions, but we refrain from tears knowing that he has grown wealthy doing it. | “It is freely admitted that the av erage North Carolina farmer cannot compete in this respect because .he ' overage yield of corn per acre .fl North Carolina is in the neighborhi <>d of twenty bushels per acre. Measured by the average farm income, the av erage North. Carolina farmer cannot be regarded as a highly successwul in dividual. Suppose your merchant didn’t keep books? But it is more impor tant that farmers do so, because or tenimes they have more money in vested in land, buildings and equ'o ment than the merchant who sells them. There are 75 ice 'cream, cheese, milk and butter factories operating in North Carolina. i Wednesday was a real holiday'^* |he county seat. Nothing in Lumber ton was open.
