Duke Glee Clubs To Play At Lumberton Dr. H. I. Pope, President of the Robeson County Medical Society of Lumberton, N. C., in a letter to the Medical Publicity Bureau of New York City, in connection with their country-wade movement to end spit ting in public places and reduce diseases spread in this manner, agrees with health officers, doctors, hospital superintendents and other medical authorities throughout the country on the danger of this habit. Dr. Pope says: “I shall be glad to help in any way 1 can to stop the promiscuous spitting in public places. It is a great way to spread diseases as well as filthy.” Every since medical science was known, first that many of the most dread diseases were caused by germs and, second, that many of these germs often are present in human sputum, the battle has raged to prevent promiscuous spitting. It is definitely known that the bacteria do not die when the sputum dries, but that they are carried by the slightest breeze to the respiratory passages of other persons. It is also just as definitely known that any direct contact with the spit of another person often leads to in fection if that spit is germ-laden, and for that reason physicians, health authorities, social workers and many others interested in the public welfare have struggled for genera tion now to end the spitting evil. The present campaign of the Medical Publicity Bureau, in which local authorities are joining, represents the latest effort to awaken public con- sciousness the ease averted if part. to this danger and with which it may every one will do to be First To of Series Throughout County Be Held Thursday Nighty Nov. 21st at 7:30; Prizes Offered.

Heading the bill at the Red Spring Theatre Thursday and Fri day, “Her Private Life” presents Miss Dove in a highly dramatic plot. Its atmosphere of refined, aristocratic life is a relief from the “show-girl” type of film, with its “dese, dem and dose” slanguage.

Lumberton, Nov. 12.—E. R. Smith and G. Gillespie, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., oil prospectors, have been in Robeson County for the past five or six weeks and have secured leases on several thousand acres of land in the vicinity of the Davis filling sta tion, 6 miles from Lumberton, Raft Swamp township, where oil has been flowing from a pump for the past several weeks, according to reliable information given The Robesonian. Some of the leases are on land as far away as six miles from the sta tion. Finding the oil at the pump at the filling station brought to the minds of some of the older citizens of the conununity facts that lead them to believe there has been a trace of oil in Raft Swamp town ship for the past 30 years. For years people have been having trou ble with their pumps out there, of ten getting a brownish sort of sub stance which resembled the type of oil that is coming from the Davis pump. People recall that they have been seeing something like oil on top of the water in the small streams of’ the, section for years, and during the past several days searchers appar ently have found more of this sub stance than was known to exist. Some people have gone to the bot- tom of the streams and have found that the leaves have a of the oil. Burns Readily. The oil that has been coming the pump is of a brownish similar to the looks of man,;. It has a peculiar od smells of linseed oil ar also trace from color ish. fined kerosene It burns wi. - and some of the Raft Swamp people have been using it in their lamps. The oil found in the streams and holes thereabout resembles that of the pump. One man dug a hole last week and later went back to find that it had partly filled with water that had such d. snbkaixu op top. While there is great interest in the developments, .here are many who are skeptic that the! 1 pnd are not c* 13 oil in Robeson tyy. Many people from Lumberton have seen gone out into the section and traces of the oil and are un- able yet to explain where it comes from. The fact that the stuff smells of refined kerosene has caused many to be skeptical. The leases that are being signed, none of which has been recorded in the office of the register of deeds of the county, give the lessees the right to the land for oil promoting pur pose for a term of 5 years and as long after as oil is found thereon. The persons leasing the land furnish all equipment and do the drilling, and the lessors get one-eighth. Mr. Smith formerly lived in Kings Mountain. He married a sister of Willie J. Prevatt of Lumberton. He has had some experience in the oil business, it is said. Mr. Gillespie is said to be a retired lawyer and Superior court judge of the State of Missouri. He has had right much experience in the oil industry, it is reported.
