JNow, there are a great many

Our road law is not satisfactory
and needs amendment in many
particulars, to prevent inequail-
ties and unfairness. The law in
regard to the working of the
chain-gang needs amendment so
as to secure good service on the
public roads. The law in regard
to the duties and manner of nam
ing the county finance com
mitte needs amendment so as to
properly protect the public funds
of the county, and to provide for
more specific publication of items
of disbursement. Robeson coun
ty has never received her share
of the patronage from State in
stitutions, because these things
usually go to other sections
of the State which have well
known and influential members
in the Legislature- The Legis
lature is more important to Robe-
san county than Congress, so far
as direct benefit is concerned;and
it is to our interest to be repre
sented there by our most intelli
gent, experienced and influential
men. I believe the intelligent
men (and all Kobeson county
Democrats are intelligent) will
see that it is to our own interest
to send Col. McLean to the Senate,
and that they will go to the con
vention the 6th. and nominate
him unanimously. If the many

Robeson county, whom I have

To the Editor of The Robesoniio.
As nearly all other sections of
tqe county have voiced their senti
ments in favor of the nomination
of Col. N. A. McLean for the
Senate at the convention which
meets September Gth., I de
sire to say that our section is
practically unanimous for his
nomination. Since I first saw
his name' mentioned in connec
tion with the matter.I have taken
occasion to ask nearly every
Democrat I would meet what he
have the very best thought of it, and I have yet to

Mr. Editor:
I saw a communication in your
last week's issue from Britts
township advocating Mr. W. J.
MeLeod, of Red Springs, for one
of our members of the house of
Representatives. I desire to add
my endorsement to this sugges
tion. Mr. MeLeod would make
a most excellent member. He
is broad-minded, honest, intelli
gent and popular with the people
I had thought of him as the very
man to put on our board of com
missioners, but after seeing his
name suggested for the Legisla
ture, I heartily concur in the
suggestion that we send him to
the Legislature.

The Court House Square.
Civil improvement, the love of
the beautiful in nature does not
appear to be well developed in
Lumberton if one is to judge by
the little attention paid to beauti
fying public ground, streets and
private premises. As a horrible
example look at the court house
square with its surface covered
with paper, brick bats, pieces of
wood, old benches and other rub
bish. Weeds flourish as the
green bay tree and the
shade trees, beautiful in
themselves, are neglected. In
the midst of all this evidence of
the unsightly, tho "council of
safety" holds its daily session
from early morn till late at night,
Sundays and legal holidays not
excepted. Would that they
would devote a part of their deli
berations in the effort to en
gender civil pride in our people.
Where are the ladies, who arc
born with an eye for the beauti
ful. Can they not spare a
little of their time from do
mestic duties to bestow
some effort upon the public
square, the grounds at the arte
sian wells, the river banks in the
town and the landscape at the
depot and - the old cemetery.
Surely they can do their town no
greater service than to educate
public sentiment along these
lines. Our intention in referring
to these things is not to criticize
but to admonish.
