A ReMaMe Bank Is one which puts the Interests of its Depositors above the Interests of its Officers and Stockholders. Conservative and Safe Management is more Important than Big1 Dividends. It has been the Policy of this Bank to follow these Ideals. Our President and Cashier borrow no money of the bank. the same security of every one who bor- hat the People Cannot Gov ern Themselves Represented by Mr. Taft; That They Can Represented by Mr- Bryan Two Old Theories of' Govern ment Contrasted. To the Editor of The Robesonian. in the formative period ot our government there were two theo ries advanced, and each one was urged by its friends as the foundation for the American government. One was that there should be a strong central government with sumcient pow er to obliterate State lines and suppress local self-government when those m authority should deem it necessary to enlarge the central power. The advocatesof this theory believed that the people could not govern them selves and should therefore be held in check by a iorce su perior to them. The other the ory was that as Americans had proven themselves capable oi self-government, the people should be he chief source of power, and no authority should be exercised by the general gov ernment not expressly delegated to it by the States. Alexander Hamilton became the leader of the former, and Thomas Jefferson of the latter. The constitution is a com promise of these two ideas. The people are allowed to vote tor Congressmen, but are not per mitted to vote, directly, for their Senators or President. Hamilton's followers have been known as "Federalists", "National Republicans." and, since lsbb, by the distinctive name "Republicans" Jefferson's disciples were at first called "Republicans," in some sections, in others "Dem ocrats." Since President Jack son's time they have been called Democrats. The Republicans have always striven to reach their ideal in government by enlarging the powers ot the constitution by inference and interpretation." In proof of this, study the ad ministrations of Presidents Jno. Adams, Lincoln and Roosevelt. During the slavery agitation of 1838, one of the most prominent Republican leaders declared the constitution to be a covenant with death and an agreement with hell. The Democrats have always stood by and defended the con stitution as the law of the land President Jackson declared, "Its legitimateautaonty is abundantly sumcient for the purposes for which it was created, and its powers being expressly enumer ated, there can be no justification for claiming anything beyond them. This from President Jefferson: "Some think that man cannot be trusted with the gov ernment of himself. Can he, then be trusted with the gov ernment, of others? or have we angels in the form of Kings, to govern him? Let history answer thh question." Rome was one of the most noted of ancient Republics, but refused the peoples over whom she extended her sway the privilege of local self-government, and as a consequence her great central government, no longer able to resist the despots that such a system breeds, fin ally fell beneath the "weight of Empire. The two thenes of government are hoary with age. That the people cannot govern them selves" is before us in the per son of Mr. Taft; that they can, is represented by Mr. Bryan. ihe Kepublican party has given us the horrors of a civil war, the inequalities of a "robber tarriff", and the hardships of a panic. The Democratic party added to the original limits of the TAR HEEL HAPPENINGS. We require rows from us. Not a Dollar Eleven Years. Lost by Bad Loans in our Existence of Hon. Hamilton McMillan and What he and Other "Macs" Have Done for the Croatan Indians The Need of Read ing and Studying More. To the Editor of The Robesonian. The Macs, as a rule, are brave, far sighted and noble hearted. They came, perhaps, from the Highlands of Scotland. You may get a sketch of their disposition from Mrs. Flora Mc Donald, the heroine, Irom ben. McDonald and Donald McLeod, who f ell,being pierced by twenty- six balls, in the battle ot Moore s Creek Bridge. Now, the Mac we want to get at is the "Ice Breaker, "the "Hope Maker," Hon. Hamilton McMil lan, who ventured to make a people out of no people, and to give hope to those who had no hope. In regard to White's Lost Colony, the whole country was about to agree with the historian who said, "Their fate is one of those sealed secrets which shall only be known when all our ignorance is enlightened and the sea gives up its dead, But Mr. McMillan would not stop with the historian, but pas sed into Robeson and adjoining counties in North Carolina and de clares to the reader of history that he may never again sigh for the fate of the colony, for the secret is revealed here in Robe son county the Croatan In dians. The mystery to us in re gard to the Lost Colony is, Why did not White keep on to his people? Traditional history tells us that he was once in sight of his people. We knew many things long ago, but we could not write, and though we could tell, no one would believe. We might have asked as the prophet did, "Lord, who hath be heved our report.' and the true response would have been, Nobody . We are proud in deed of men who will dare to hold up in argument true senti ments, plain truths, as is shown in the writings of Hon. Hamilton McMillan, and most of the article produced by Col. F. A. Olds. We the Indian people should be proud of these Macs, from the simple fact that every bill that had been of great interest to us, and printed in the statute laws of North Carolina, was presented by a Mac. You know very well what Hon. H. McMillan did. Have you forgotten Hon. Stephen Mclntyre, his funny ancedotes, and his essential work? He procured for us seperate mar riage license, separate property lists, etc. You remember, to, the day, nor shall I soon forget when the town of Lumberton turned out to greet ex-Governor Aycock and Governor Glenn, who came down to spread the sheet of "White Supremacy", that Col. N. A. McLean wore the highest cap and made the highest leap. Well, since that time he has carried our cry to the Legis lature of North Carolina and it was heard. Don't forget that Col. E. F. McRae was there, too, and through their influence Col. McLean sbill raised our normal school appropriation from $500 to $l,2o0 annually. Now whom have you had nore accommodations from in the town of Lumberton than from ex-Sher iff Geo. B. McLeod, a man oi in fluence and full of kindness? To do myself justice, I must at least mention our ex-county superin tendent, J. A. McAllister, a man of square dealing and one in whom, as all the older teachers among us will agree, we have a friend. But of course we know we have .other friends besides the Macs, and hope they will not think hard of us. We return to Hon. H. MeMil- lan. As one man said toda, he may be called the father or 'find er" of the Croatan Indian race. We wish him to know that he is K.M. BARNES FOR SENATOR. Crops Damaged by Wind and Rain Other News Items and Personals. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Miss Amelia Allen was the charming guest of Mr. Z. V. Tolar last Wednesday, when they attended church at Bladen Union. Mr. Elija Gibson, one of the leading farmers of Lumber Bridge, spent last Saturday night and Sunday with Mr. D. T. Regan. Mr. Gibson is one of the most intelligent men of Lum ber Bridge vicinity, one of the best "carpenters and also a good man, and one of the closest ob servers. He has looked over our country in general and seems to be carried away with this portion of Bladen; and we think if he were to purchase property in this commmuninity he would be a head light to this vicinity. Such a man is needed. Mr. F. P. Munn spent last Sat urday night and Sunday on his farm near Tar Heel. Crops in this section have been damaged very much by wind and heavy rains. Mr. D. C. Kinlaw. who lost his wife some time ago, spent Satur day in Bladen prospecting. We do not know whether it is a milch cow he wants to buy are not; it is a widow s stock he s looking at. Mr. Jack Well's relatives from South Carolina are spending sev eral days with him and friends. Miss Isabelle Shaw, of Ivan- hoe, who had been visiting her grandmother, Mrs. Bell Munn, returned home some days ago, to the regret ot her many friends, Mr. D. T. Regan had the mis. fortune of losing a mule last Wednesday very suddenly. There was a very enthusiast ic baseball game at Tar Hee last Saturday. There was a large crowd present. Tar Heel, N. C. Aug. 3, 1908. Support Him and Save the Dem ocratic Party From Being Split to Pieces. To the Editor of The Robesonian. I am glad to learn that Mr. K. M. Barnes will be in the race for the Senate. He is one of the best men of the younger genera tion in the county, well educated, intelligent, and in every way fit ted for the office. He is not only a merchant, but very successful farmer, and especially at this time is he the proper man to be nominated for this office, for the reason that he nas nad nothing to do with anv factional fights in the Democrat ic party. There is nothing that can be said against him or his record in any way. I have talked with a good many prominent Democrats in the county, and 1 1 i, , .,, iney an seem to agree that un- ess we can get some good man, ike Mr. Barnes, who is not iden tified with any of the charges and counter charges that have been made, that there is danger ot the Democratic party s inter ests being badly prejudiced, and may be defeated. I call on all good and faithful Democrats to support Mr. Barnes in the primaries, and give the iarmers and laboring man a chance at the polls, and at the same time save the Democratic party in the county from being split all to pieces. John Bridgers HYDROPHOBIA- PREVENT IVE TREATMENT. State PROFESSIONAL CARDS CENTER DOTS. Frenchman Demonstrates Abili ty to Fly. New York Dispatch, 2d. Henri Farman, who came from Paris to give a series of aeroplane exhibitions under the manage. ment of an American syndicate made his first public flight in this country at the Brighton Beach race track this evening. The ex hibition was a success to the ex tont that it demonstrated the in ventor's ability to fly under favorable atmospheric conditions. and entertained some 2,000 en thusiastic spectators. Farman traveled from the eastern corner of the race track enclosure to the opposite corner at the lower turn, a distance of nearly a third of a mile, in about 30 seconds, and did not appear to be hurrying. In rising, flying and alighting, the frail looking aircraft display ed a bird-like grace and assur ance that would have delighted the soul of Darius Green. The crowd that had hung on through a long wait was well pleased and after shouting its congratulations from the grandstand, bore down upon the inventor with a rush that threatened damage to the aeroplane.

"No." "Can you read?" "Yes" -and he never was a subscriber to any paper. "Take The Robesonian," I said. "Well, it's so full of poli tics"; "Yes, but not so full as you", for he was soon ankle deep, and then to his ears, asking questions he couldn't answer and that no one else had heard.

To the Editor of The Robesonian. several times we have seen the name of our fellow citizen Mr. Marshall Shepherd mention ed as one of our members for the Lower House of the Legis lature. There is no better citi zen than he. He is clean of character, conscientious in the discharge of his duty, a scholar oi hne appointment and a man of far more than average ability. He would make us a good rep resentative and will, we believe, suit all the people. Let us have Mr. Shepherd in the Lower House and George McLeod in the Senate and the people could not ask more. And we believe from the news that comes to us, that George McLeod will go to the Senate without doubt, for he has more friends than any other man in the county and many of the people have already decided on him as their choice and have so expressed themselves. The old board of county com missoners will of course be re elected. They suit the people and there is no opposition to them that will count. It looks to us like politics will be quiet this time, and we hope so. Let us elect these people without trouble and all will be well. O. M. Floyd. Orrurr, N. C. Announcement by the Board of Health. The General Assembly, at its last regular session, enacted the following: An act Authorizing; the State Board of Health to Provide for the Preventive Treatment of Hydrophobia. Section 1. That the State! Board of Health is hereby author ized and empowered to provide for and have conducted under its direction the preventive treat ment of hydrophobia or rabies, whenever in its judgment cir cumstances, financial and other, will justify it. To meet the ex penses of this treatment the said board is hereby given authority to supplement the revenue deriv ed from tees for the treatment by such sums from the treasury of the State Laboratory of Hv- giene as may be necessary: Pro vided, that the usefulness and efficiency of the said laboratory is not thereby impaired. Sec. 2. That the benefits of said treatment shall be given free of charge to all residents of the State who shall present to the Secretary of the State Board of Health, or its representative having in charge the manage ment of this special work, an af fidavit of inability to pay, duly sworn to and subscribed before a justice of the peace, or. if the case be a minor, such an affidavit by the parent or guardian. To meet as far as may be the expen ses of this special work, the said State Board of Health is hereby authorized and directed to de mand from those able to do so the payment in advance of a reasonable fee, not to exceed in any case the usual charge made by the reputable Pasteur insti tutes of this country. The Board of Health, at its re cent annual meeting, decided tnat circumstances would now justify the treatment. The following extract from the circular of information issued by the Laboratory of Hygiene gives the necessary details: rabies. In no other disease is an early diagnosis ot more vi tal importance. Fortunately, a diagnosis can in most cases be made from a microscopic exami nation of the brain of the rabid animal. The suspected animal, or its head and neck, should be sent at the earliest possible m ment to the laboratory for exam ination. The head should be pack ed in ice to prevent putrefaction, and should be sent by express. prepaid. A careful account of the animal, with a full history of cause of suspicion, should be sent in every case. The treatment will require the presence of the patient in Ral eigh for about three weeks, but residence in a hospital is not nec essary. Ihe cost of the entire treatment will be $50, or will be furnished free to persons unable to pay, upon submission of "an affidavit oi inability to pay, duly sworn to and subscrbed betore a justice of the peace, or, if the case be a minor, such an affidavit by the parent or guardian Attention is called to the fact that the law requires the fee to be paid in advance. It should be said also that, if after trial it should be found necessary for the support of this special work, the fee will be increased. This work will be in charge of Dr. C A. Shore, Director State Labora tory of Hygiene, and all com munications on the subject should be addressed to him, at Raleigh. Richard H. Lewis, Secretary N. C. Board of Health W. H.

On the 26th of last May the writer cast a vote against the manufacture and sale of in toxicating liquors, and thank God the grand old State of North Carolina went dry. But the few words I wish to say are in regard to the manufacture and sale of cider. Cider Think of it! is manufactured and sold through out the county and btate. 1 can ride along the roads and . see ci aer mills and cider presses in operation, see men hauling it by the barrel and by the keg and by the jug; and see men drunk.str.g- germg and cursing under the in fluence of cider. Think of it, Christian friends. It is heart breaking to see such in our grand old county of Robeson and I hope and pray to see the time when it will be the same offense to make and sell cider as it is to make and sell corn whiskey.
