I^eford Kiwanis club met last Thursday evening with a fair at :!^;;tieDdaace of members and several No&bly among the ^ests was a committee of six mem hers of the Fayetteville club, who came to explain and apolo gize for a recent raw deal hand ed the Raeford base ball team, and certain caustic statements published in the Fayetteville Ob server anent the base ball dis turbance, which reflected on things generally in Raeford. £x > pianations and apologies, plain ^statements and a general recip rocal adjustment concluded. Major iSteadman made us a good speech on Kiwanis duties and activities. If Fayetteville is made an in land port, as Mr. Chadbourn, secretary of the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce showed in his speech before the club, de- j.oided benefits will accrue to the people in ail this sectiuu in lower freight rates. It now costs $2.20 a bale to ship cotton from Fay etteville to Wilmington. It is said it may be shipped down the Cape Fear for 50c a bale, $1.70 a bale saved. Arid if freight is saved on both in and out ship ments, it means riches in a few years to all our people. This is worth working for. The ladies of the Baptist church fed us well, so we were Yfill ini a fraternal spirit. Clippings From The Lanrinbnrg Ezcluuige. The latest rumor to gain cur rency is that J. B. Duke, through his railway interests, is negoti ating with the Seaboard Air Line for its road from Charlotte to Wilmington. That Mr. Duke woul^ electrify the old Carolina Central, which runs by Laurin burg and connect Wilmington and the seacoast with the Pied mont country, through a system of inter urban electric railways, radiating from Charlotte and penetrating almost every section of the great industrial territory of the Piedmont: The annual meeting of the stockholders of Laurin burg’s 4 cotton mills, the Dickson, the Scotland, Waverly and the Prince cotton mills was held at the court house last week. Reports from the mill officials were received and were satisfactory. The fis cal year just ending then was one of the hardest in the history of the local textile plants, the period of general depression in the cotton mill industry having extended over practically theen tire year. The mills were opera ting last summer on part time. They resurrled full time opera tions in the fall, but again this summf^r have been running only on part or haif time. Mr. A. M Fairley general manager of the foul mills, says that recently there has been a decided im provement in conditions -affect ting the cotton goods market and the mills business and that the prospect for the coming fall and winter is much better than it has been in several months. ' Maxton Woman Hort in Train Anto Smash. (From The Bobesonian ) ’ A distressing accident befell Mrs. J. S. McRae Thursday (Ju ly 30th) at Black Mountain, where the family is spending th|i summer months. It appears that Margaret Dupuy, her mothdr and Mrs. McRae were riding in a coupe with Margaret driving. When they- approached the crossing at which the railroad company usually bad a watch man stationed, no watchman ap peared to warn them of an ap preaching train, and they were struck just as the wheels reached the first rail. Mrs. McRae was the most seriously injured, bav ing one leg shattered above the knee and suffered many severe painful bruises. Her condition was so serious from shock and injuries that the limb could not beset for-several days. Mre. Dupuy received a broken rib and shoulder, Margaret only several bruises, it is said that the watchman had left his post fc only a few minutes. LoeiJs. was a Charles C. Chadbourn, Charles B. Wifson, Frank Stedman, Claude Rankin, William Hunter, J. S. McFadyen, were the guests of the Kiwanis club, of Raeford, ii} that city last night. The de- '’#^ciou8 dinner and attractive en tertainment features were thor oughly enjoyed by the Fayette ville guests, who returned to the city last night.—Fayetteville Ob server, July 31. Were a 24 hours notice given that William Jennings Bryan was to speak in an city in the world, an auditorium large en ougb to hold the4»owd could not be found, it is saidd Bruce Mabee, entomologist. Wednesday morning what he thought of the boll weevil situ- acion in this county and he re plied that it was a situation all right We then asked him if be thought the case was as serious as it was a few weeks ago, and he said yes. He reasons that a season of dry weather and a lull in Che warfare against the wee vil has led many cotton growers to think that the danger from boll weevil damage has largely passed, and this very indiffer ence of the cotton growers just now is most dangerous and likely to cause heavy loss in the cotton crop. The first lot of real-bottled in bond whiskey captured bv coun ty officers in many a month was that found early Sunday morn ing (June 26) at East Laurin burg by Sheriff J. W. Odom and Deputy R. C. Miller. The officers went there in search of one Sam Todd, to whom suspicion was pointing a long finger. They ound^Todd asleep in .the house of a kinsman. Todd stoutly' de nied having any whiskey in his possession, or knowing anything about whiskey at all. Ibis did not satisfy the officers and on a closer inspection of the room they found a trunk behind a ta ble and in thd trunk was the 21 quarts. Judge Sinclair of Fayetteville will preside over our next , term of court. ' The curing of tobacco is well under way, and the crop on most places is very good, but the dry weather reduced the yield on many farms. Mr. A. E.

Heins, North Carolina Offers Unasnal Facilities in Climate and Sanatoiia. Sanatorium, N. C., July 30.— A person who has been told by a competent physician that he has tuberculosis mast.give up work and take treatment, or soon he will have to stop work. Eailv discovery and the right kind of treatment taken at once are the most important factors in recov ering from tuberculosis. Tuberculosis in the lungs .is usually chronic, ar^d long drawn our,. Sanatorium treatment and proper home care after leaving the sanatorium, and intelligent selection of work, will cure the majority of light and medium cases, and some seemingly hope ess ones. Six months is gener ally the shortest time in which a patient may safely be returned to active life. There is no medicine that will cure tuberculosis. Patent medi cines claiming to cure the dis ease are fakes. Only right liv ing will cure it. If possible, a sanatorium Is the place to go in order to get well. But it is not impossible to get well in the patient’s own home, under a good doctor. The prin ciples of the treatment at home are the same as in a well ordered sanatorium: rest persistently and systematically taken, fresh air’ nourishing food, and careful supervision of exercise after the pattrat gets out of bed. -r practice of his profession, but on account of^mall amount of this special treatment in our small city he has decided tp set tle in a larger place. Because of our special interest in Dr Wilkins our people will be glad to know that he has decided to join the firm of Lewis, Wright & Hicks in the Citizens Bank Building in the capital city of Raleigh, where he will begin his work in this special field. What most people want to know is, are such detours neces sary ? In places cotton is dying with the wilt, and a boll worm is eat ing some of it. This is hard luck plant. It has not been explained why no mail was delivered from the 8 o’clock train Thursday night to the Raeford post office. Mrs. John A. McKeithan is away on a visit with relatives in New Orleans imiLother cities in Louisiana andMississippi, Mr. and Mrs. A. K. Currie, Misses Mary Blue, Flora Me- Phail, Anna McDonald, Maude and Mary Poole, Messrs. Martin McKeithan, Dee Currie, Tom McFadyen spent last week at the Pike. We do not know why it is con sidered necessary to have two county Sunday school conven tions within a few months of each other, but they do good and no barm, so that makes no dif ference how many we have, but it is unusual to have them so frequently. Raeford lost the third and last game with Kannapolis on Wed nesday of last week by a score of 4 to 0, but i the game was closer than the score indicates; as two errors allowed four of the visitors 3 of the 4 runs. But Kannapolis earned on% run in the last game, the oiily earned run in the series. non called to see us last Thurs day. He says he never saw better crop prospects. Messrs.

The boll weevil is totally de stroying the cotton crop in places, and we are expecting to hear of a general onslaught any time now.

His disease is not well, but what doctors speak of as an “improveii” case. In order to make his arrest a final cure, he must continue to ‘take good care of himself for a number of years- In climate and suitable sana tori;!, a person becoming ill with tuberculosis in North Carolina has unusual opportunities for cure within his own State. The mountains and tne sandhiil coun try offer a wonderful climate for the cure of the disease. The State Sanatorium cares for 182 white patients and 60 colored ones. Guilford County has a modern, well equipped county sanatorium;. Mecklenburg is building one, and a number of other counties are planning to build sanatoria. In the moun tains and the sandhill section there are a number of private sanatoria for the care of those cases who do not wisVtb go to state or county institutions. There is no need of any person ill with tuberculosis in North Carolina going West to seek a cure. Mrs. A. C. Bethune is visiting her stepmother, Mrs.' Thomsson, near Sparta.

In times like these such real money saving opportu nities are appreciated by the trading public, and much favor able comment has been heard concerning it. This sale will close next Monday night, Aug. file lOth. AFTER THE FIRE IS OVER, Nature is an uncountable num ber of causes followed by an un countable number of reasonable effects. And by this reasoning it is easy to appreciate the (ireat Cause which created such an Effect as this worIdJn which we live. The Cause which made a may pop blossom stirs me to heights of admiration and flights of imagination, because I fenow that the same Eternal Mind which put one of us here put us both here. ^ No wonder the Psalmbt in a moment of ectacy exclaimed, “The heavens-declare the glory of God and the firma ment showeth His handiwork.” 1 think there is no sni iii diver Sion from one’s bread winning quite so fascinating as as exam ining a Joint of pond moss through a microscope or behold ing the illimitable expanse of the sky at night through a telescope. In the joint of pond moss, small er than the smallest needle, you can see its digestive organs busy at work, flying around like a belt around a wheel. God could make little things just as perfect as he could make the burning sun with a diameter T2o times as great as this earth’s, and swing it around in space as if it were a dew drop. Your brain as you read this is undergoing chemical changes which if you could look at as you would watch a wild west picture, might reveal to you the most w'ouderful picture your eyes will ever behold on this earth. I believe in 4ieople and the more I know about folks the mf>v& wi^erful to me. that 1 appear reasonable in ifiiat I do and in the things I say to them. My progress so much depends upon befng reasonable that some times I think public schools ought to add a department where the teacher’s sole job was to re mind the pupils every day that common sense and a balanced conscience mean good citizen ship, res pec lability, and bread. I am about to forget to tell you that a man s duty after the Lord blesses him with property for the support of himself and family, is that he exercise the common sense necessary to re place it it accident takes it away. For a small annual premium I will indemnify your fire losses, enabling you to buy a new car if a thief steals the one you have, or to build a pretty home on the ashes of your old one if fir^ or ightning sh m'd take it awiy. It’s plain common sensi and good business judgment. -Sincerely vours^ ARTHUR D. GORE. / SPECIAL BROOM *VLE for'lO days. See our sm’*’ window. Nice light house-rooms 39c. McNeill Grq^ry Co. PRO!
