Uncle Remus and His Inim
itable Stories A Dutchman
Who Should Have Stayed zt
Home President Roosevelt's
Surprising Acts Other Matters.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
It is only one hour now until
train time and I wonder what
kind of a letter I can get up for
The Robesonian in that time:
but I am going to send some
thingthat is, it nothing occurs
to interrupt me, which is often
the case.
I am tired just now. and a lit
tle worried, too. I have been
out through the hot field in search
of an old foolish turkey hen
that carries her little ones off and
will not bring them home to get
water. So I rambled around in
their usual haunts, and failing to
find them came to the house. In
a few minutes afterward she
made her appearance, strolling
along leisurely from another
direction. I guess the intense
heat warned her that she had
better make for the shade.
Y ester day 's Constitution
brought the sad news of. the
death of ''Uncle Remus' our
inimitable Southern writer, who
has for years charmed the world
of children with his quaint folk
lore and his stories of Bre'r Fox
an Bre'r Rabbit. His imitation
of the old slave negro dialect
could not be surpassed, and I
much doubt if it can be success
fully reproduced by any other
person. When I was a child it
was my greatest delight to hear
these old queer tales related by a
certain colored woman named
Harriet, whose fund of stories
seemed inexhaustible, ana many
of them were of the Uncle
Remus order, the wonderful feats
of "Bre'r Rabbit and Bre'r Fox"
some of which I yet remember
distinctly. On one occasion some
years ago, I was spending some
weeks in Florida, with relatives.
It was about the time when
Uncle Remus and his animal
yarns began to attract wide
spread attention, there were
many Northen people in the little
town in which I was visiting that
winter, and some of their chil
dren were attending the high
school in the place. The school
commencement came off during
my stay, and 1 attended the ex
ercises. Among the recitations
on the programme was one en
titled Bre r box an Bre r Rab
bit," by Ralph Bingham. He
was a bright young boy, son of a
Northern physician, and had
caught on to the quaint dialect
in a way that captivated the au
dience; so at the close oi his re
citation the house shook with
applause and a cry arose for a
repetition, but he had acted well
his part and declined to grant the
request.
I never think of that Florida
trip that I do not recall, among
other interesting sights, an old
Yankee major, or rather an old
Dutchman, who fought in the
Yankee army, and was hobbling
around with a cane, because his
leg was full of Rebel bullets. I
had seen so many of our own
brave boys come from the war
with empty sleevs, and wound
ed and maimed in various ways;
but this was the first and only
Yankee I had seen in that con
dition, and I'm afraid my sym
pathy was at a low ebb especial
ly as he was a foreigner and
ought to have stayed at home
and attended to his own bus
iness. By this time things are get
ting lively in Denver, and Bryan
will soon know either victory or
defeat. I think he has great
resolution to enter the third
time the political arena, upon
which he has heretofore met
only disaster.
President Roosevelt occaionally
does surprising things which are
calculated to counteract others
which were unjust and sectional.
The appointment of an ex-Confederate
soldier to a Cabinet
position was a gracetul act, as
was also the appointment of
Stonewall Jackson's grandson to
a cadetship at West Point; but
how about Dr. Crum as collector
of the port at Charleston?
I have no locals to send in this
week and therefore nothing of
interest to write. The Fourth
passed off quietly here, not even
the report of a gun to celebrate
the birthday of American Inde
pendence. The 'Squire is on the sick list,
but I think is slowly improving.
The heat is getting too severe
for him, and he talks of going
in searcn oi nis native Dreezes
among the Virginia mountains
some time soon.
Mr. T. K. McRae, a native
Robesonian, but now of Wachula,
Fla., who is visiting relatives m
this section, called on us yester
day afternoon. We were glad to
see him and to learn that he is
doing well in his adopted home.
It is a pleasing fact, and speaks
well for our county, that most of
her sons who seek their fortunes
in other States rarely fail to
achieve success.

No Likelihood of War in Im
mediate Future, if at All.
Washington Dispatch. 9th.
The diplomatic relations be
tween America and Venezuela
that have existed uninterruptedly
tor more than a century, though
m recent years severely strain
ed, were to-day completely sever.
ed. This afternoon, Senor Veloz-
Goiticoa, the Venezuelan charge
d'affaires, called at the State
Department by appointment to
present to Acting Secretary
Bacon notice trom his govern
ment that he was to quit his
post here, close up the Venezue
lan legation m Washington and
repair forthwith to Venezuela.
The charge explained to the
acting Secretary that the action
ot the State Department in with
drawing Jacob Sleeper, the
American charge from Caracas
and in closing up its legation
there, made it. necessary for his
government to take similar ac
tion in the case ot its own lega
tion m Washington.
It is pointed out
who have followed
developments in the
situation that there
slightest danger of
by officials
closely the
Venezuelan
is not the
war in the
immediate future, or indeed at
all. Rather will the situation re
semble that following the rapture
of diplomatic relations between
France and Venezuela tor msance
where legations were closed on
both sides and all official relations
terminated while trade between
the two countries continued. The
history of these episodes in the
ease of Venezuela is very much
alike. Mr.Veloz-Goiticoas' with
drawal follows that of Minister
Russell as diplomatic representa
tive of the United States to Ven
ezuela about two months ago and
that of Mr. Sleeper, the secreta
tv of legation, and Lieutenant
Ruersrles, the military attache,
about two weeks since. The
reason for the withdrawal of the
American legation at Caracas
arose from the persistent refusal
of Venezuela to give redress tor
the governmental action by which
all American interests in Ven
ezula were either destroyed or
confiscated, or to submit the
claims of American citizens to
arbitration.
Renewal of Industrial Activity,
Haltimore Sun.
The announcement in a Pitts
burg dispatch that oU, UUU men
returned to work yesterday in
certain industries in that section
is very encouraging. It is stated
in this dispatch that before the
end of the present week "the
Pittsburg district it is expected,
will have practically resumed the
prosperous conditions which were
interrupted by the financial
cloud last October." Authorities
concur in the belief that the
agricultural production of the
United States this year will in all
probability be a decisive factor
in expediting the restoration of
prosperous conditions. There are
indications of large crops of all
kinds. While no new records
are likely to be made, there is
confidence that the yield will be
sufficient to facilitate the return
of favorable conditions in busi
ness. Big crops mean increased
business for the railroads and
for the merchants. To "move
the crops requires large sums
of money, and it is worthy of
note that this matter is already
receiving the attention of Treas
urv officials. The hope may be
indulged, without excessive opti
mism, that the country will soon
be fairly started on the way to
the complete resumption of nor
mal business and industrial
conditions.

Suffering all the agony, physi
cal and mental, and exhibiting
many of the symptoms that ac
company death by poisoning,
John Neriza died yesterday, the
victim of hallucination and auto
suggestion. It is believed that
his condition resulted from worry
because of Fourth of July noise.
Attending physicians found no
trace of poison in their examina
tion of Neriza. Members of his
family declare that he had eaten
nothing which might have caus
ed his condition. But the efforts
of physicians to assure him that
he was not poisoned were tutile,
and he passed into a comatose
state and di d after hours of acute
suffering.
A weak mental state is held
responsible for the self-hypnotism.
It was asserted by physi

A Portion of Col. Old's Article
False and Misleading The Be
ginning of Henry Berry Low
rie's Career of Crime Some
Statements Corrected.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
I notice that you have copied
Col. Old's write-up of the Croa
tans(as they are called).
I have nothing to say about
the most of the write-up, but
there is one portion of it which is
talse and misleading and which
uoes a great injustice to some
who were then among the best
citizens of Robeson county and
who are now in the Great Be
yond. The portion to which I al
lude is that which gives the
cause of Henry Berry Lowrie's
lawlessness. Allen Lowrie, H.
B.'s father, was never called on
to work on the forts. He was
beyond the age. Besides, Hen
ry cerry never killed a man who
was present when his father and
his brother Bill were killed. Near
ly every man he killed was in
the army at the time his brother
and father were shot. The
cause of their beihg shot was as
follows: There had been sever
al right daring burglaries com
mitted in the neighborhood and
the courts were not in a position
to deal with the equity parties
because most of the able-bodied
men of the State were in the
Confederate army. However.
nothing was done until one night
the residence of Mrs. E. A. Mc
Nair, of Alma, was attacked.
h ortunately she had visitors who
were armed and she was a very
brave woman hersell and conse
quently there was a hght and a
number of shots was fired on
each side and finally the robbers
were driven off without entering
the house. This was too much
for her Scotch neighbors, though
they were old men, such as con
stituted the Home Guard, as
they were called, and they got
together and followed the rob
bers and circumstances took them
to Allen Lowrie's house. They
searched it and found a lot of
things which had been stolen in
the burglaries which had been
committed. On finding this
property in Allen Lowrie's house
Allen, the father, and Bill, the
son, were placed under arrest,
court-martialed and condemned
to be shot to death and the sen
tence was executed. This Home
Guard was composed of such
men as Capt Angus Baker, Rev.
J. H. Coble, McKay Sellers, W.
A. Sellars, Archie Patterson, Ar
chie Wilkison, Hector J. McLean
and others of that same stripe.
As above stated, all of these
men were old at the time and
nothing but pure necessity could
have ever made them resort to
such measures. And besides,
none of them was ever killed by
Henry Berry and his gang.
Now as to the cause of the
trouble with Henry Berry. He
and others were hiding out to
keep from working on the forts.
(Col. Olds says he was a strip
ling of a boy when his father
was killed. He was a grown
man). Mr. James Barnes, a
good, quite citizen, lived near
Allen Lowrie's and some one
kept killing his hogs. (In those
days hogs and cattle ran at large
on the range and each owner
had a private ear mark for his
stock.) Mr. Barnes went m
search ot his meat and lound a
lot of it in Allen Lowrie's smoke
house. He was able to identify
it because the heads were there
and had his marks on the ears.
He told the old folks to tell the
boys that they must quit killing
his hogs or he would have to
prosecute them. A few days
after this he went to the post-
office, which was at Capt. W. P.
Moore's residence, and as he was
returning home late in the after
noon he was shot down from
ambush. After he was down
Henry Berry came up to him and
was going to shoot him again,
but Mr. Barnes begged him not
to. as he would die from the
shots he had already received
He did die, but lived long enough
to tell who shot him. This made
Henry Berry a murderer and an
outlaw. After this he gathered
about him his brothers, Steve
and Tom, Boss and Andrew
Strong (his brothers-in-law) ,
Henderson Oxendine, George
Applewhite (a negro) , Zack Mc
Lauchlin (white) and some oth
ers. Then they began to rob
and murder at will. Then the
county of Robeson offered a re
ward of $2,000 for Henry Berry
and .$1,000 for ihe others, ar.d
the State offered H'),000 tor
Henry Berry and $5,000 for each
of the others.
Robbery was the cause of the
death of Allen and Bill Lowrie
and robbery was the start of the
Henry Berry outlaws, and not
because they wanted to go into
the Confederate Army.

WILLIAMS AND THE
BOARD.
SEA-
PROFESSIONAL CARDS
Ollici
Former Seaboard President to
be Returned to His Old Job.
Raleiieh Times.
Once more the railroad circles
in Atlanta and Richmond have
heard that Mr. John Skelton
Williams, the father of the Sea
board Air Line, is to come into
his own again, the present under
standing being that the first of
March, or possibly the first of
the new year, will see the former
Seaboard president returned to
his old job at the head of the road
which he raised from a pale and
puny little affair of one division
to a position of commanding com
mercial importance in Virginia
and the Carolinas and Georgia. It
is stated, on authority supposed
to be more or less competent.
that the Ryan element, which
has dominated the Seaboard ever
since J. fierpont Morgan and
his Wall street coterie squeezed
Williams out of his control and
his office three years ago, has
about made up its mind that the
best future for this important
property is to be gained by put
ting it once more in the hands
of the man who of all
southern railroad builders and
opera :ors, is in most practical
touch and sympathy with the
railroad requirements of these
four states.
The Seaboard receivership, it
is known, has not worked out
the Seaboard's problems to the
entire satisfaction of all the stock
holders and other parties at in
terest, and it is intimated that
Mr. Thomas Fortune Ryan is not
fully suited with his railroad in
vestment. He has made more
money out of New York trolley
roads and New York banks. The
progress and profitmaking of the
road require a man more fully
acquainted with railroad needs
and possibilities in this southern
field than is any man now m con
trol through this Morgan-Ryan
dynasty, andthatman unquestion
ably, is John Skelton Williams.
It begins to look as though the
personal breach between Mr.
Williams and the Morgan follow
ing, with which he had more or
less friction when he was in con
trol of Seaboard affairs before,
could be smoothed out. Bygones
will have to be bygones for the
sake of the road and the money
it can make, if judiciously hand
led, for its owners. There is not
a more brainy or progressive
railroad executive in the South
than John Skelton W'illiams and
if the plans of his friends mate
rialize and the outset of another
year sees this clever Richmond
railroader restored to his old
command by the free act of the
men who once forced him from
it. there will be a speedy gain in
confidence on the part of bus
iness men and shippers in at least
four states, and North Carolina
will share in the general feeling
that the Seaboard is once more in
the hands of the man best quali
fied to make it serve, in prompt
and efficient manner, the needs
of the territory through which it
operates.
Increase in Freight Rates to Car
olina Territory.
Washington Dispatch, Cth.
A few weeks ago, notice was
given by the Southern railways
thatan increase of the rates on
fresh meats would be made into
Carolina territory from Ohio and
Mississippi crossings. 1 he inter-
State commerce commission has
now been informed that a general
advance in rates, effective Au
gust 1st, will be made by South
eastern lines on all commodities,
of Southern classification, takin;
classes a. (J. U and t irom unio
and Mississippi crossings to al!
Southeastern points. Ihe in
crease amounts to three cents per
hundred on class B: two cents
per hundred on classes C and D,
and four cents a barrel on class F.
The increases are on packing
house products, grain and grain
products and hour in sacks and
barrels. While no announcement
is made with respect to fresh
meats, the rate on them now is
based on 10 cents over the rate
on class B commodities and it is
likelv that an additional increase
on fresh meats eventually will
be made.
