THE ROBESONIAN. J. R, WHICHARD, Editor and Manager. SUBSCRIPTS PRICE, $2.00 A YEAR. Wjcdnehpay, ArCPT.UrTir, 1S07. AS A BANKER SEES IT. Tho Wilmington Star never wrotw tlio trutli nwro plainly than in what is said bolow. It ia unan swerable and in well worth, care ful reading. Wo copy : Mr. Robert J. Lowry, of Atlan ta i l'roiilont of the Iliiukors' ' Association, which met in Detroit Mich. Ilia addrea concludod with tho following paragraph: "I recognize theJn'Mj. that 're luming prosperity' Ima not yot arrived, I know that it is on its way and believe it is not so farorT as some would have us think. This belief 13 warranted by the fact that under the. blessing, of God, abundant crops &nv assured ; oiur'agricuhural : products an in demand by less favored people-, and when tha-surplus grain, of the West and cotton of the Bouth shall begin to move to the coast on their way to supply the wants of other nation., wo shall euo the great cloud of depression bogin to lift and Jet in the glorious sun shine of prosperity, which will warm into new lifo the enterprise of our great country." Mr. Lowry is not one of the rainbow chasers, and it is sensible enough not to undertake, aa so many of tho rainbow chasing or gunji do, to prove that prosperity is already here, a fact which the country would not f.iil to discover without any assurance:; from these jpurnah Ihit he- feelj - so well satisfied that .prosper! I y is on the w-ny tint I:"' beh'iven it is not an far off. 03 Humtv would 'uake it ap pear. . Like a cenil)le man he gives his reason for bin beleif and a vTy suggest ivo reason, too, namely, that "under the blessing of God' uLnuidnut crops are as sured; out agricultural products are in dOmand by less favored peoplvf and when the surplus grain of the West and cotton of the South bhall begin to move to the coast on their wuy to supply the wants of other nation?, we shall sea the groat cloud of depression-begin to lift and let in the giorioits sunshine of prosperity, which will warm into new lite tho enterprise of our great country," which means in briefer phrase that tho farmer is at the bottom .of of all our anticipated or hoped for jirosperity, which is a cold rock bottom truth. We have said that hia is a sug gestive paragraph, suggestive the fact tha tit is a candid admission by a banker that the prosperity of the country with its numerous en terpmen, in eluding the banks, is dependent upon tho products of ag riculture, the greatest of all our in dustries. And yet who has ever heard of tho farmers of tho country be ing considered or consulted in any scheme bearing upon the currency of the country? One year ago when the majority of tho people in. the agricultural States com plained of the depression from Which they suffered and demanded a- more liberal financial policy which would make money more abundant and give them, as they bfeleived a "better return for their labor, they worero chidod by some and denounced by others as repu , diators of honest debts and insti gators of national dishonor, but it ia to these very farmers today, so unsparingly denounced then, that t lie country is looking for prosperityjto whom even the bank ers, some of whom even refused to let their money go into these States to be loaned j arei6oking for pros perity. The ,'repudiator!r of 12 mouthy ago," "uwler n blessing of Gid' ca become a savior, who "lifts the cloud" and: "lets the sun shine of prosperity in." It being an admitted fact, which no one now disputes, that it is tho good crops of this year for which thero will be such an active foreign demand, that aro to bring us pros perity and put life into our numer ous languishing industries, is it at . all unreasonable that! lie industry which duos all tin., and the men who pursuo this industry should have a voice in the framing of the monetary Fystem of the country?' Should they be denounced ns com munists and repudiators heeaiuo they 'clamor for reform that 11 icy deem essential to their welfare, especially when tho welfare of the country depends upon -th'tir wel fare? For "nearly twenty Ave years thero has ben a steady dppliaor i;, the price of their products, the; cause of whi'ih they traeo to nnd insist is to bo found in the mone tary system which then prevailed and in self defense they have de manded a return to that system and for this they have been de nounced as hopelessly ignorant or morally depraved, lacking in in tegrity and regard less of the eoun try's honor. They were nob wrong when they demanded this return to the mon etary system which was departed from twenty four-years ago, and if that demand had been- heard and heeded this delayed prosperity might and probably would have come before this. Those who see the clonus lifting and the sun of prosperity beginning to shine are looking for dollar wheat, not the result of the present monetary system but in spite of it, thanks (if tho word thanks may be used in such a connection) to the blighted wheat fieldsof other coun tries. The prices of wheat are made in the gold countries which buy our wheat and American prices are governed by the prices made thero. They aro made upon a gold valua tion. If we had a world bimetal lism instead of a practical mono metallism in European countries tho wheat which may bring a dollar a bushel later on would would bring a dollar and a half, and the farmers of this country would get half as much more for the crops they market and would bring that much more general prosperity. Although they and the whole country are rejoicing' in the turn of the t ide, they are Butter ing even in their new prosperity by the monetary system which twenty years ago strnck at them and has kept them on. the ragged edge nearly all the time since. They are now, and with them the country, the beneficiaries of the calamities which have fallen upon other peoples who need the wheat they have raised to make bread to eat. It is an accidental, exceptional condition which may not obtain next yar aud'lhen the farmer can not continue the role of the pros perity bringer which his good for tune enables him to play now. In the meantime the gold men con tinue to wage war upon silver to lessen its purchasing power and to increase the purchasing power of gold. They are endeavoring to put the world on a gold monome tallic basis and every point they score is a blow at the farmers of tho country, and every blow at them is a blow at all, for as they are now admitted to be prosperity bringcrs, bo are we dependent upon them in all years for cur pros perity. Butler and Brodif. Ciinrlutte Oliservt-r. Somewhere in the New Testa ment a judgment- is pronounc ed upon those: who pervert the Scripture and turn i to their own use. AVo are frequent !y struck with the flippancy with which the name of the Master is employed by hounds trying to justify their meanness, a late instance being that of a United States Senator, making speeches in North Caroli na, glorying in the fact that he is a calamity-howler and saying by May of justification, that "Christ was a calamity howler." AMater instance is afforded by the case of tho negro Brodie, convicted at Henderson last week of an atro cious crime and sentenced to be hanged in a few days now. In a special to the Raleigh News and Observer, of date the 20th, it is said that he made a full confession Tuesday night, saying that "it was exactly as the girl had stated on the stand;" the special conclu ding with these words. "He says he says he has no harm against any one; that Christ was persecu ted, and that he did not expect anything better." Here are two cases exactly of a kind. Brodie confesses his crime, but forgives his "persecutors," on tho ground that Christ was perse cuted. The Senator confesses his guilt in appealing to the base passions of the people, and claims warrant for doing so in the exam ple of Ci.; ist, who, he says, did the same thing. e do not mean to be too hard on Brodie. He has as much ground to stand on as has Butler.- The Prt of tile Future. Wilmington Messenger. Tho opinion is growing, perhaps rapidly crystalizing, that .there must be an earnest, determined campaign fought in North Caroli na for the supremacy of the white race, and it will be started with all needed vigor probably next year. The decent people of An glo-Saxon descent are remarkably tired of the rascalities and law-' lessnss of these times, ..arc-disgusted at the turbulence;-. brazen ef frontery, deceitfulnessand treach ery irrrt he new-fledged leaders now to thu fro;t. and of the bad laws enacted by tho-last two utterly i-- norant, incapable and unfaithful Legislatures. A party inspired by patriotism, a love of their race, thorough fidelity to eternal prin ciplesof right and just iceand honor and manhood will be the probable outcome next year.

The band is composed of gentlemen, and not only their music, but their general bearing and conduct were subjects of favorable comment with the large crowd present. Mrs. E. A. McDonald, of Fay etteville, and daughter, Miss Ella May, who had been, visiting Mrs. B. F.

Some of. our- fox hunters went out early Wednesday for a morn ing chase. The fox confined him Self to a radius of half a milearound a cider barrel. The chase was a. hot one until about- 11 o'clock, when the boys called oif the hounds They want that fox another time Rev. Wm. Black, State Sy nodi cal Evangelist, who has been at Ocean View for a few weeks' recu perating, came up Saturday and spent Sunday and Monday wit! his many friends here.

A. to a erowdud lmnw The rendition of songs in Floral Hall Thursday evening by the com mittee, accompanied by cornets, was pronounced the most soul stir ring, enthusing and delightful of the day. The "Old Vets" were unanimous in thanks to the vouno ladies and gentlemen composing the choir. We learn from a letter toW. G. Hall, from Whiteville, that Lum and Jim Haynes were both con victed of murder in the Superior Court at that place last week.

Maxton Fair will be held, as usual, on October 27th, 28th and 29th. No premium list will be is sued but a premium will be given for every article put on exhibition. This was done last year and no one went away wit hout a premium who was entitled to receive one and every premium was promptly paid. Many inquiries are being made by parties away from here relative to the coming fair and a number of new and attractive features are being arranged. The enterprising secretary, W. B. Harker, tells us the prospects are good for a bust ling fair this fall. In our travels through lower Robeson last week we passed Bap tist Ashpole, and was surprised to find a nice lit t le town, nicely paint ed, with many evidences of thrift and prosperity'. This the home of the Dr. Browns, Sr. and Jr., so well known in this part of the county H. P. Ratley lives in this neighbor hood, at whose hospitable home we spent the night. Mr. Ratley is now fed years old, and loves to talk of ante-bellumjdays. He gave us much of the history of the an cient Scotch of the county, and especially of St. Paul's, having married a Miss McEachern, of that community, who has long since passed to the better land. II showed us a blanket that his wife's parents brought from Scotland, and many other ancient articles that were of much interest to us The party , surveying a railroad from Elrod to Hub are encamped at Ashpole. Although last Thursday was a threatening day, the programme at the reunion here was carried out save the speeches of Col. R. T. Ben nett, Capt. Myrover and Hon. J.T Legrand. Home talent was sub stituted, and we had six short ad dresses... In the forenoon we heard 0. A. McEarchern, Col. M. McRae, Capt. S. J. Cobb and Maj. J. A. P. Conolv "old vets" and G. B. Patterson and Col. E. F. McRae new vets," and two of the coun ty's most talented and popular young men. In the afternoon, Hon. J. F. Payne made a telling speech in Floral Hall, where the choir rendered several popular old war ballads ; that warmed the old sol diers to much feeling and enthusi asm. We heard several of the old soldiers say tjiat his speech should be reproduced. It was a soul-stirring address. So were all the speeches of the day. There was the largest number of old veterans present we have ever seen at a re union. The day was enjoyed b- old and young and was pronounced by all a grand success. The next reunion of Camp Ryan will be held at Lumber Bridge,. Every town, and community, like individuals, have their dis tinctive general character. Some are noted for morality, others for. thrift, "gitupandgit," still. others for dry rot, and -some for vice and immorality. . None gain t heir char acter in a day, month or year; but like the little brick in a great structure, being placed one upon another until a magnificent struc ture is before you. So the pub lishing of the little daily doings, the comers and goers, the births and deaths, church services, pic nics, cotton j beans and potatoes that are bought and sold. These things published'to the world by a town or county paper, give a place a good or bad character. Those who are benefitted often for get to patronize, stand up to and defend tho paper that is ever work ing for the public good of the com munity in which they live, and often, sad to say, Criticize and treat lightly the claims of the me dium, while the poor editor goes to his home at night tired and care worn, with empty pockets, and sometimes to scanty table. One good live newspaper is worth more in building up a town or commu nity than forty fine house or. brick stores. Some one has made the follow ing calculation about what is con tained in a bushel of corn when turned to the wrong use : "From a bushel of corn a dealer gets four gp. lions of whiskey, which retails for $10. Of this tho Government gets $8.60, the -retailor gets $7, the distiller $4, the railroad gets $1 the farmer who rained the corn gets 4Uc, the consumer gets ton (leys or more in 'the cooler,'-and the policeman and the judge get good salaries for sending him there." A girl' may be light on her feet and yet realize that her shoes arc a heavy expense. The South of the Future. Goldsboro Argus. A few more weeks more and king cotton will wave his scepter over this Southland. And the powerful monarch of our Southern cotton 'fields goes to clothe the millions who live in lands where tne fleecy staple doe3 not grow. Great is the South by nature and the lit tle children of the pres ent will live to see the dav when the country south of Mason and Dixon's line will be the wealthiest part of this great country. From their poverty and dependence, al ready are the people of the South growing neh and independent But in their power and wealth we trust that they will not forsake many of the old paths blazed out by their forefathers nor cast aside the principles which were as dear to them as life itself. The rise in wheat is one of the most attractive questions at pres ent. In August , 189G, it was emo ted on the Chicago board of trade at 58 cents a bushel, while in August 1897, it brings a dollar, an advance of pearly a hundred per cent in one year. "There are," says the Charlotte Observer, "good reasons upon which to ac count for it, so that it cannot be characterized as one of the phe nomena of trade, and yet, look at it as we will, it is very extraordi nary.
