Texas is the largest State in the union so far as area is con cerned and it has the largest ru ral population. It is said that although the population of it is made up largely of imigrants, persons who moved to Texas from nearly every State in the United States, that State pride is stronger there than in any other State. As an indication of this State's pride, one should note how the suggestion to di vide the State into several smaller States is received by the people. Some few cities in various sec tion of the State from time to time suggest that the State should be divided so as to give the new States thus created capi tals situated near to the different sections. It is urged that mem bers of the Legislature and others having business at the capital have too far to go and that they are subjected to extra expense and inconvenience thereby. These periodcal suggestions of a division of the State are prompt ly over-whelmed by the opposi tion every time they come up. The State pride of the great mass of the people to the United States so is Robeson county never fails to over-come the selfiish motives of the few who clamor for division, and therefore Texas has remained and will for a long time continue to remain the greatest State in the American union. As Texas is to the State ot North Carolina. It is the largest in area, the fourth in population, the first in cotton production and the first in purely rural population of any county in the State. With no city or large town in its borders, it has an agricultural population, not surpassed in any other coun ty. Besides its people are intel ligent, law-abiding and indus trious. While tnere is yet room for improvement in its jnorality, yet no other people . are more moral. It has developed more and increased in wealth faster in the past five years than any section of the State. The people of the county should be proud of the important place the county holds in agricultural, industrial and moral development. They should never forget the leading part the county has taken in the upbuilding of the State in times past. And yet, there are those who would so far forget the coun ty pride, which should ever exist in their hearts, as to wish to see this grand old county divided. Those who put selfish motives above public spirited county pride.' It is refreshing to ob serve that this class is small, very small, and confined largely to one or two localities. These few persons who favor dividing the county give as their reason the distance they have to travel to the county seat. This is the the principal reason urged, and yet some of the most active worker's for division live on a direct line of railway within a distance of twenty two miles of the county seat. It is true that some parts of the extreme upper end of the county are' situated an inconvenient distance from the county seat, - but it is only seldom that they are compelled to take the trip and then too with good roads and the Increase of railroad facilities these difficulties will be largely- 'overcome in the ' future. These difficulties exist in nearly every county in the State. If to give the greatest good to the greatest number is the correct principle, it would not do to create a new county everywhere these inconveniences exist. These very comunities would be injured by increased taxes, more than they would be benefited by having the county seat at their front gate. But the demand for a division of the county does not come from the country people who are most; inconvenienced but from few residents of towns, who for other i motives desire the change, and these motives are not always un selfish ones. The desire to make some town a county seat and the imaginary increase it will give to local real estate.the desire to be come the political boss of some small county.the resentment that the eople of a large county have not bestowed continued political honors on some who imagine that they were born to monopo lize these things to the exclusion of those the people have been pleased to select for public office- These are some and perhaps the principal reasons why there are still among us those who seek to tear down, to divide the great county. Notwithstanding all this, the great masses of the people in the upper end, the lower end.the east ern and western and the central portions of the county are deter mined not to allow their great county divided, because after all they love the county and county pride still over-comes selfishness and prejudice. Although these efforts on the part of the few who seek to divide the county have always met with defeat at the hands of the great masses of the people, yet they continue to plot, to scheme and w combine for the purpose of carrying out their designs. Having failed by direct methods, they have begun re cently to resort to various indi rect methods, such as attempt ing to create dissension and sec tional feeling, and in trying to array one section against another These agitators can be named on the fingers of two hands almost, and therefore they are not likely to succeed. Fortunately the good people of the county are so over whelmingly against the di vision that the efforts of the these who favor it, are doomed to defeat as long as their schemes can be detected by the people at large. We love this tireat county as a whole more than we love any portion of it alone. We love its people, wherever they live or from whatever section they come, and we trust the day will never come when we shall be unable to look upon and admire them as citizens of the largest and best county in North Carolina. We are very much interested in the progress and development of Lumberton. After existin for a century as little more than a county seat, in the past few years she has taken on the ways of progress. Within the past six years her population lias more than doubled and her business and industrial life has largely in creased. If her people will con tinue to do their duty she w ill soon become an imjxirtant city The town needs a number )f smaller manufacturing enter prises, of various kinds. Proper encouragement should be given to these. One mistake our peo ple make is that all try to go into the same kind of business, in stead of diversifying the business interests. If one man succeeds at some particular business, all his neighbors conclude to ko into tne same Business, although the field for that particular business may be limited by local condi tions. It would be better if our enterprising men would initiate some new business and, make a success of it. If all will pull together in a short time Lumber- A. l.il ' . wn wui oe a mnving city.
