Elsewhere in this issue will be found a list of the rural mail route in the Sixth district and the amount of mail handled by them , for the December, 1905, quarter. There are 104 of these routes in the congressional dis trict. "The one doing the largest amount of business in the dis trict is one from Wilmington, which shows 10. 0(56 pieces of mail for the quarter mentioned Numbers 1 and 2 from Maxton, which handled 15,305 and 14,217 pieces respectively, stand second and third in the list. The route doing the least business is the one from Roaring Gap, which handled only 1,85!) pieces for the December quarter. The biggest business on any route from Lum berton was on No. !, which hand led 11,062 pieces. In some parts of the United States routes are being discontin ued entirely or cut down to a bi-weekly or tri weekly service because the amount of mail handled over them is not suffi cient to justify their continuance as daily routes. We publish the list of routes and the amount of mail handled over them in an effort to impress upon the pat rons of the weaker You tea the danger of losing their routes We don 't tliinkthis should be done under ;iny circumstances that are at all reasonable. The peo ple are entitled to this better service through the rural dis tricts and we will always be found contending for them to have it but the government may look at it differently. From its way of looking at it, a more liberal pat ronage of these weaker routes is essential to keep them. When you think about it the remedy is easy. Before a route is estab lished th're must be at least 100 heads of families living on it. If every one of these families would subscribe for a weekly . paper they would add at least 400 pieces of mail a month; for a semi-weekly they would add over 800, or for a daily they would add 3,000. In either instant they would stand a chance of holding their route. You can't afford to let your route lapse when the ex enditure of each patron of the route of so small amount each year will keep it. If we mistake not, in order to continue a route there must be handled over it an average of 2,000 pieces monthly. OUR REPRESENTATIVES. Much has been said by various papers" in regard to the selection of candidates for the Legislature. It is well that our jwople should give more attention to the per sonel of the legislative ticket and mis is particularly irue in our county, as its size and varied in terest and resources require more from its members than many of the smaller counties do. There are many demands made on them of which the average citizen as a rule would not think. To see that these are properly met so as to serve the best inter ests of their constituency re quires ablejand experienced men. Robeson needs to send men who are not ouly jstroug men them selves but who will have strength with others. We have at times been the loser on account of the fact that wejhave not been rep res-en ted by men who could and would let the State know what our county is; men who were able to place it in that position before the public which it deserves. Men of charac ter and ability whoknow Robeson and love it are the ones who are needed to place it at the front in legislative halls. There are num bers of matters which will come before the next Legislature which will be of direct local interest. The road law, the county chain gang, and there may be 'other matters, some of w hich will be dependent largely upon the rep resentative's we select, all of which will demand the services and attention of men competent to cope witli the situation. We should, and we take it our people all, favor making prohibi tion more effective if possible; giving our corporation commiss ion such power that it may be of real service to our people and re lieve them from many of the abuses and wrongs which are now suffered; adequate insurance and railroad legislation to proper ly protect our interests. The representatives selected September 0th must need re alize this and stand for it as they do the Democratic platform. There is no getting around it, Robeson is the leading county in the State in many respects. An exchange called attention a few days ago to the fact that Maxton is the leading melon depot in the State, having shipped this year 15,000 crates of cantaloupes and 250 car loads of watermelons. The corporation commission has completed its work of i ssessing the railroad, telegraph, telephone, street railway, electric light and gas light companies in the State and Robeson leads in this respect, the assessment tor the county being $2,H2,C74.19. We have no street railways in the county and this item does not figure in the showing. THE FlfiST NATIOIoU BAfJIUumberlon, North Carolina, DEPOSITORY FOftx , COUNTY 01?

To The Robeson ian: As The Robesonian kindly per mits the use of its columns in dis cussing the merits oi men tor tilling the various offices of the county, many voters would be glad to see the names of men mentioned and discussed for the most important office in the county that of County Commis sioners. It is generally reported that the present board will not stand for a renomi nation. Great responsibility and small creditor honor; small pay and great abuse too often form the currency by which unthinking men would dis charge the county's debt to these over-worked and under-paid men. As I have had no opportunity of sneaking with any member of the board, except Mr, O.A.Oliver on the subject, I do not know whether they, as a unit, would decline a renomination if' tender eel them. Mr. Oliver says posi tively that he will not make any effort to secure a renomination because his public record is be fore the county and the people have a right to approve or con demn it. He did not inspire this communication, but discouraged it. The writer is responsible for what is written; so in behalf of Mr. Oliver I would say that I know him most intimately a citi zen and neighbor. Few men are freer from the vices common to men than is he. While a man of few words he has strong convic tions and courage to maintain them even at the loss of personal friends. His prosperity shows the acuracy of his judgment. His sympathies are always with the helpless, while his acts are gov erned by his conceptions of jus tice and right. His friends, do not claim thatjhe has never erred, but they do claim that few men serving for their first term in so trying a position would have shown a better record as a farm, consciention, and efficient officer. Two years ago he was untried and inexperienced in public life. His record shows that he has grown with his experience into a, capa ble, broad-minded servant of the people. As an appreciation of his honesty and worth his many friends would be glad if the coun ty join them and give Mr. C. A Oliver the nomination to succeed himself as County Commissioner. "White House."
