- Well, tbe convention is over
and it seems that a'l are satis
fled. We, in oor.Jiumble sphere,
J don't think that a better and
more satisfactory ticket could
have been selected in the county,
take, the whole a atter, from sen
ator t coanty commissioner, it
could not be better in the county,
We neither belong to the upper
end nor to the lower end, but we
do think the upper end ought-1 a
be satisfied with tr's load or
poles. Yes, we have a soun
ticket and the thing to do is fi ;
every Democrat in the county o
put himself to work and be : i
hand at the po''s and ect this
grand ticket from a to 'ard.

Comments on Convention.
Red Springs Gltlwn.
The "pie" was not evenly dis
tributed last week. Some of the
townships didn't get a slice, while
others received more than their
snare. Tne primary plan gives
everybody an equal show and
avoids a scramble at the conven
tion "pie counter."
A resolution was adopted in
the county convention last week
. instructing our representatives
in the legislature to give us the
legalized primary. The Citizen
has advocated the primary plan
since that memorable Fayette
vi'le convention of four years ago,
and we believe it is the or'y tb'ng
that w 1 keep the Democrats in
. Robeson together -

If two commodities bring in
mr rket vhe same price per pound,
raised on the same land, then
there sbouH be no preference in
the crop. But when twice the
number of pounds can be raised
of one, then the raiser should
look well to his interest Inai
is the case with tobacco. He can
raise twice as many pounds of to
lacco on the same land as he can
cotton. Let b;m figure for him-
self. The Lumberton market
