We would like to know if any ma
in Robeson county seriously ihiuk
that these gentlemen are so lickiti
iu iutellignoe that they should
fiudit ueceeisry to have a lawye
' draw up a simple report of tbi
kiud.
Tn Chief insists that ho has
information which is reliable
tatiug that by actual coout, th
petition aent to the Legislature
aakmir that a vote be taken as to
the removal of the county seat' o
this eonutv was 1.920. We did
not count all of the petitioners
consequently had nn exact person
al knowledge of the number of
petitioners. We based our state
ment ou information received
from the attorney of petitioners,
whom we supposed was thorough
ly informed on the subject, aud
who was. oi all men, in the best
Dosition to know exactly how
a
many names they contained.
tba Association bad nothing what- j
svar to do. If tbair actiou was
unwise, tba fntora will show it to
ba so, aud tbs institution will suf
fer. The opioiou, however, is
nr-itt eeneral that the? havs'
blundered. Be that as it may,
the whole affair is uufortunate for
Trinity C6llge, and as it' is an In-
titation of which tba state it
nroud. all who are Interested
s '
therein bare nause for regret.
North Carolina Day will becele
brated by the public schools
throughout the State ou December
IHlh. The subject is the "L)wer

pendix. This subject should be
of especial interest to the people
of Robeson County and all schools
within its borders should arrange
for the proper celebration of the
occasion. Suitable exercises will
not only be of iutere8tto the chil
dren and the patrons of a school,
but would be au educational ad
vantage to the children- and will
stimulate their State prid.

is higher than the average pnoe
paid since 1882 With cotton at

uroduitt at proportionate prices,
it is grt wonderlol that oar peo
