The Lumberton Robesonian, in 4ts issue of Thursday, says editorially: "We call to the attention of The Morning Star and . The : Whiteville NewsReporter the faet that a meet ing was held in Lumberton on.Tues, day night, the 21st inst; at which time it was most definitely decided that Lumberton should have nothing to do with ex-Sheriff McLeod's propo sition to oppose the bond issue in Bla den county. Our only object in call ing attention to this is a desire to see that the record is kept straight and to see that the people of Lumberton are not misrepresented in this mat ter. At a meeting held on the Friday night prior to this later meeting it seemed that so much of the people of the town as were represented by the people in attendance and it was a fairly representative meeting were going to endorse Sheriff McLeod's proposition and a committee was ap pointed to draw up resolutions. The result of this meeting was fully re ported in the next issue of The Robe sonian, and a report of it was -sent to The Star giving the impression ' that the people of Lumberton were behind the opposition. But "Look you, now, what follows" : When the meeting was held on the evening of the 21st, the entire matter, fell flat and it was the, sense of the meeting that while Lumberton would naturally like to see a road built from Lumberton to Eliza bethtown, it was not any of the busi ness of the people of this town to med dle in a bond election to be held in Bladen county. If any report of that meeting was sent to The Star we have failed to see it, and so the impression given by the report of the first meet in, so far as The Star is concerned, has been allowed to stand. The News Reporter makes mention of the first meeting, but does not mention the later meeting. "This is said merely in the interest of fairness to the people of Lumber ton. And we respectfully submit that The Star and The News-Reporter, hav ing mentioned the first meeting, which left the impression that the people of Lumberton were enthusiastic for the proposed road to EHzabethtown, should make mention of the meeting which followed really and adjourned meeting when another representa tive body of the citizens of Lumberton decided not to take any action at all. In fairness to Lumberton The Star and The News-Reporter will, we feel sure, give the other side of this mat ter. If one meeting was an item of news worth handling in their columns, then surely the other was." THE CONWAY BANKS. TViree New Corporations Formed 'for Financial Interests There. Conway, Jan.. 1.
