St. Louis, Nov. 12,—St. Lou
isans who have recently received
by mail pathetic appeals from
Bobby Hubbs, of Asheville, N. C.,
1 will be interested in knowing
<* Bobby” is not as destitute as
letters might indicate.
In fact he has his own car and
.
riding horse.
Father Tubercular.
The appeals for charity were
based on the undisputed fact that
“Bobby’s” father, C. T. Hubbs, is
tubercular. This fact appears to
have been capitalised widely, ap
peals being broadcast over the
country.
Some of the St. Louisans turn
ed their letters over to the Char
ities Bureau of the Chamber bf
Commerce, which investigated
and reports as follows:
$75 Rent.
The Hubbs family is paying $75
monthly rent on its residence.
Hubbs has an automobile and
two riding horses.
The automobile, a seven passen
ger car, is alternately driven by
“Bobby” and a negro chauffeur.
“Bobby" attends a business col
lege, going and coming in his
own automobile.
Mail in Sacks.
The mail, resulting from
appeals for charity, is hauled
the Hubbs home in an automobile
daily in large sacks.
Hubbs, asked to reconcile the
charity letters and the apparent
luxury of his life, said he did not
want to be on any regular char
.
ity list and have things doled out
to him, but prefers to make his
own appeal.
Send Out Warning.
The National Tuberculosis As
sociation has sent out warnings
to the public not to help Hubbs
and his son, as they are not in
need, Hubbs being able to pay
for medical attention and “Bobby M
for his education.

There’s no jollier girl among
the two hundred woman arenic
performers with Sells-Floto circus
than Stella Rowland, and it’s no
wonder “Applesauce,” the burro,
stands for a clown hat on his ear
to make it pleasant for the cam
era man and Stella.
He, like every last one of the
eleven hundred folks that troupe
under the banners of Sells-Floto,
which, by the way, comes to Grif

do anything to boost her good

<< Uncle Billy” Barber, of Spald

next March his one hundredth

sights of the city which he had
not beheld in 59 years.

had passed through here several
times, but this was the first time
in half a century he had had a
chance to stop over.
ii Uncle Billy” is a staunch
member of the Mt. Zion Baptist
church, near Concord, and a de
vout student of the Bible.
He never attended school a
day in his life, he declared, and
never smoked a cigarette or ci
gar, never got drunk or danced
a step—to which he attributes
his unusual span of years.
Mr. Barber was born in Clark
couhty on March 8, 1825, and
his entire boyhood ^
spent in Geor

years when he fought in the Civil
War under General Lee in Vir
ginia.
Mr. Barber’s mother died when
he was three weeks of age, and
he was reared by his grandfather,
the late William Barber.
“Uncle Billy’* Is the father of
11 children, five boys and six
girls, six of whom are now living
he declared. He married at the
age of 20, and has been a miller
since the Civil War.
