It is to be hoped that the gen tl -men who began this morning to make a cunvass of the town in order to obtain signatures to the petition to be presented to the town commissioners to call an ekct ion to vote an additional tax for iury, $13; National Office Sup- piy M., supplies of ten cents for the graded school will find no difficulty in se caring the necessary number of signatures. Many who failed to sign the petition at first have since willingly signed, and it is believ ed that many others refused to sign only because they did not understand the situation. Some of the speakers at the mass meet ing Friday night declared that they would rather see the cotton mills or anv other industrial en terprises of the town shut down than to see fail to run the graded school the full term. Which is not overestimating at all the im portance of the matter. If enough funds are not provided to run the school the full term it practically means that there will be no grad ed school at all this year, for competent teachers cannot be ob tained for a term of five months. If it were a question of voting additional tax for anything else those who favor this tax would be the first to oppose, just now but this is different. When it comes to a question of providing for a full term of school there is evidently only only one thing to do, however much one may re gret the necessity for doing it. This is a necessity, not a choice. tor register s office, 75c; supplies for treasur er's office, $9.15; French and Mc Allister, rent of opera house for June, $13; rent for holding July term, $50.

Reception A Can didate Suggested and Others Endorsed Other Matters. Correspondence of The Robesonian. - On Wednesday night, the 5th, the W. 0. W. Camp of Red Springs gave a most delightful reception to their friends. Be sides the members of the Red Springs Camp, there were ri -pr-esentatives from Raeford, Pem broke and other adjacent camps. Mr. E. G" Hodgin was master of ceremonies. The exercises be gan with an address by Rev. Mr. Page, of Charlotte, who took as his subject "The fraternal spirit of the order". His address was well received and was of a very high order. Besides Mr. Page, Mr. Caldwell, also of Charlotte, made a few impromptu remarks, which were well received. Miss Katie McCurill, of Tied Springs added very much to the pleasure of the evening by rendering sev eral fine selections of music. Miss McCurill is a very accomplished pianist and placed the camp un der many obligations to her for her kindly service. There were many expressions ot regret be cause Sheriff McLeod, who was expected, couldn't be present, After the addresses ice cream and cake were served. Thus passed into history one of the most delightful and pleasant events in the history of this camp which is composed ot some j of the very best fellows, who know how to make their wives, sweethearts and other friends feel at home, even in the home of this secret pet fraternal order, where "the axe is laid at the root of the tree" to hew down anything that might be wrong, Rev. Mr. Crawford, of Row land, in assisting Mr. Walker in a series of meetings here. His sermons are of a very high or der. The new ginnery of Messrs. Hodgin and McNeill is now about completed and will be ready to gin at the beginning of the sea son.

Smith has been very sick for several days, but we are glad to say is improving. Now we will close by suggest ing a new candidate and en dorsing others. We most heartily endorse Messrs. Jno. A. Hodgins and Chas. Oliver for commis sioners and Mr. K. M. Barnes for the Senate. We feel sure we would never regret having Mr. Barnes as our Senator, and for one of our Represntatives we would suggest Mr. Jno. McLean, of Red Springs, a man of a clean, pure, Christian character, who is better known for is emi nent piety than political aspira tions. We feel that he and Mr. Barnes would be good co-laborers. Let us have these. Citizen. Red Springs, N. C. Aug, 8, 1908. MAXTON NEWS LETTER Dr. J. D.

C, Aug. 7, 1908. A Visit to Red Springs and Some Observations About the Town Threshing Time The 'Squire in the Virginia Moun tains. C irrespondence of The Robesonian. On Friday of last week I started from home to take my summer vacation in the vicinity of Red Springs, among some old school mates. I did not especially want to start on Friday.but the 'Squire was starting to Virginia on that day and he pursuaded me to go I that far with him. So I decided that I had better go and get him "headed" in the right direction, for fear he might take a a notion to go to Utah or South Dakota. Well, the fates were very kind to me and I had good luck and a fine time all the way through, while it transpires that he was less fortunate, having been de tained several hours on the road by a washout. He missed con nection and was a day late in reaching his destination, and greatly fatigued by worry and loss of sleep. The friend whom he is going to visit is his old cap tain of the Civil war, who lives in the heart of the Virginia mountains, sixteen miles from the railroad, in a grazing and stock country, and feeds the 'Squire on fine beef, mutton, rich milk and butter, so I have no idea when he will be home. I was accompanied on my trip by my granddaughter, Mary Belle McLaurin.and after spend ing several days in and around the Springs, we returned home on Tuesday and found everything quiet in the r ork. One of the old neighborhood ne groes died recently in the High smiih Hospital from the effect of an injury received two weeks previous. While ploughing, the pli.'V pjint straok a root, causing th handle to iiy back and hit hhu in the side, which resulted in i.i.; death. His name was Bil ly iMcTiao, and he had lived in thb vicinity all his life. On the day of his burial, another color ed tunciul occurred, and the two pncos.iv.r,3, which passed by our hoi.io, cou&sted ci 1 besides those which other directions. I found the pretty little town of Red Springs much improved since my last visit there three years ago, and I am sure no town in the btate ot similar size can boast more handsome residences and beautiful grounds; and the S. P. College and Presbyterian church are a just source of pride to the community. With two old friends I had the pleasure of in specting the interior of the church, the beauty and grandeur ot which was beyond my antici pation; and I did not wonder when one of my friends remark ed to me, "We are proud of our church and proud of our preach er". I met on the street our not ed historian, Mr. Hamilton Mc Millan, who gave me a copy of his latest book, Sir Walter Ral- eign s Liost colony, which is much appreciated, and will be read by me with great interest, when I have leisure. Only one thing I found during my sojourn which savored of neglect, and that was the condi tion ot the springs. 1 was sur prised to find the old original spring entirely out of commis sion, and the environments of of two others in a state of par tial neglect. It is to be hoped that these conditions may be remedied, and that these famous waters may not lose their pres tige. The threshing machine came in upon us almost unexpectedly today, and we women folks had to "hustle." My first job was to see after the sacks, and mend every little hole therein where a grain of wheat could creep through, while Mrs. O and 1842k1908 Buy your Piano from the time-honored firm of CHAS.

A majority of the Democratic voters of the upper end of the county received with pleasure the announcement of Mr. K. M. Barnes of his candidacy for the Senate. The Democratic party demands that the men who ask for their votes must have high moral character. Mr. Barnes is a consistent member of one o: the branches of the Christian Church, an earnest and active worker in the Sabbath schools o the county, a man of fine menta ability. His private life is be yond reproach, and he is a Dem ocrat of Democrats. He will make an ideal Senator. Another strong point in Mr.Barnes' favor is that he belongs to no clique or cliques. Let the Democrats of Robeson county nominate him for Sena tor and bring peace and harmony within our ranks. Thos. McBryde. Red Springs, N. C, August 7, 1908.
