Mr. McNeill lived near 4®0&'el Church. Trustworthy tradjUon has it that Sherman ' viat^the home of this Scotch •- Pres^terian preacher, and had j^^lng talk with him. Mr. Mc- /miil was an “unreconstructed " i>ebel,” and gave his opinion very freely to his “Yankee General,” which opinion was not' compli mentary to the General and his - i^ociates. The preacher was .. especially hard on Abraham Lin ^^coljBi'' Sharing the opinion of Southerners at that time, ieved that Lincoln was Iht the WDrst enemy the South ever bad. That opinion has been completely changed, however, and no part of the country holds Lincoln in higher esteem than does the South. ,;.

Nobody could speak to all outdoors at once, and al though members of the club had some distinguished guests they could not even introduce them to a crowd scattered over two and a half acres of land, so we ate and adjourned one at a time. At the Cahin is a nice, cool place, a pleasant place to be in two’s, but it is not suited for the transaction of business. ;ifa y‘ Givldn’t Have Heppened Fifteen Yaars Ago. An observing citizen walked UD one side of the business street of Concord the ^ther day.' He reports that he saw a young woman sitting in a car ffling and dressing her finger nails; just a few feet farther on he saw a young girl, without modesty or precaution, adjusting the roll of her stockings to suit a vulgar fashion that prevails with some; and the thing that hurt him most was seeing a young matron walking along the street suck Ing an ice cream cone. The real mothers have a press ing opportunity to exercise some fine influences upon the young to the end tha^ they may grow up with that beautiful sense of modesty that c%s aloifd for a restoratio^#,^^%id^ft. ■ ■A’i, MlSi^ her: burg; W, wAi cdmi Opening J)atet of Scbl^.

We have said all season that the umpiring dad a lot to do with Payetteville’s winning and we have said before, and say auain, base ball has not helped the popularity of the City on the Cape Fear. Raeford has played five games with Fayetteville and lost four of the five, but with honest urn piring Raeford would have won three of those games. The moral to this story is that honesty or dishonesty may be seen in sports as well as in busi ness. i-A- '^been built in Laurinburg with the assistance of the Scotland County Building and Loan As sociatioD, which was organized and began business September 22, 1923, or a little less than two years ago. These buildings range all the way from the mod cottage tq the substantial home, costing as much as ten to twelve thousand dollars. It is safe to assume that the large majority of them w'ould not have been built without the aid of the building and loan association.— The Laurinburg Exchange. A Card of Thanks.

Dr. an(i Mrs. W. M. Fairley are baqk and again on duty, much to the delight of the whole town of Raeford. The first 1925 bale of cotton grown in Cumberland was ginn ed, and sold in Fayetteville on Tuesday of last week. It is remarkable how scarce eggs are now. And it is well known how bad we want them when we can’t get them. The Sandhill Fair at Pinehurst is looked forward to as the great est event of the year by the peo ple in this part of the State. Mr/»flarry Green had a bale of cotton out by the 19th, but he didn’t have it ginned—just picked right on and has several how. No, they didn’t get anything for their watermelons, those con signed, anyway. Those who found purchasers on the side track did better. In some places there are cot ton fields in Hoke that will not make a bale to each 5 acres, but lots of it will make a bale and more to the acre. Mr. J. W.

Well, may be so, but two weeks ago today distressed the editor more. Were it not for blockading there would not be much for the courts to do in Hoke county. Liquor is still at the bottom of most of the tfimes committee. An effort is being made to or ganize the Sandhill newspapers, but whether it will succeed is yet unknown.

That negro Hamilton, who as saulted a Mrs. Sides at Eagle Springs on Aug. 3rd, was cod victed at Superior court in Car thage last week, and sentenced to die in the electric chair in Raleigh on Oct. 2. Rains have come with unusual regularity in the north and west this summer. You learn that from the base ball page in ‘the daily papers. Games have been rained out in the big leaguee nearly every week since the sea son opened.
