Wonder who will be our next set of county officers is no longer committees in each township: the song of the day, for it was Dear Sir decided yesterday at the Demo Every Effort Being Made Make it a Great Success. The following letter is being sent to members of the working cratic convention at this place. It was a puzzle to know for a while yesterday who would be our next sheriff, as there were ten candidates, two of this town Messrs. J. S. Williamson and J.M.Clark. Ex-Sheriff Wooten, of Clarkton, and Mr. Clark soon took the lead and Wooten 3oon saw Clark was the man the peo ple wanted and he withdrew and at sun-down Clark was nominat ed for our next sheriff. Mr. Clark is a prominent merchant of this town, well known through out the county as an excellent man. For register of deeds, W. M.Whitted was nominated again, and Mr. Wm. Clark, who has held the office of treasurer for eight years, was also renominated. All the county commissioners were nominated except one, Mr. A. A. Clark. Messrs. N. A. Currie, Dan Leonard and Sanderlin are the commissioners now. Most all of the men were over at Clarkton today at the senato rial convention. Miss Jocelyn Hall, of White Lake, is the guest of Miss Hall this week. As you have probably seen from The Robesonian of Septem ber 14th., you have been appoint ed on a committee for your town ship to assist in the old fashion ed Democratic rally that is to be held in Lumberton on September 29th. At this time Mr. Kitchin, our next Governor, will address the people of Robeson. This will be the only day that Mr. Kitchin can be in our county dur ing the present campaign, and we are exceedingly anxious that the whole county be here on that day and hear him. The other counties in this section of the State are making large prepara tions for his coming and we want Robeson to give him the biggest day that he will have in the State. To this end we want to ask you to meet with the other mem bers from your committee and visit every home in your town ship and endeavor to have as many men as possible to ride in the mounted parade. These riders will act as assistant mar shals with Mr. John B. McCor- Lena mick, of Parkton, the chief mar shal, and will esccrt the Gov- Mrs. D. L.

Mrs. Berta de Vane and daugh ter, Miss Laura, of Arizona, are guests at the home ot Dr. and Mrs. Newton Robinson, and also Miss Celesta Grady. Misses Emma and Annie Lue Kelly,of Clarkton.were guests at speakers' stand. The crowd that is expected will be too large for the town of Lumberton to give dinner, and after considering the matter it has been decided that a basket picnic dinner would best meet the needs of the occasion. To this end please see all the ladies of your township and ascertain how many of them will attend and bring baskets for the dinner. The ladies of Lumberton will be R. C. Deal, of on hand with baskets and will been visiting assist in the preparation, and we want to ask that all the ladies of the other townships do the same. Still no one must stay away if conditions are such that they cannot provide a basket. The whole State remembers our great Aycock Day and we cannot afford to do less for Mr. Kitchin. The success of the day depends absolutely on the indi vidual efforts of your committee and the like committees from the other townships and we urge that you do everything in your power to make Kitchin Day a great success. As soon as possible let us know how many assistant marshals we can expect from your township to take part in the mounted parade. We must have this in formation in order to know how many sashes we must have pre pared; also let us know how Mrs. Olivia Cummings' but have many ladies can be expected from returned home. your township who will agree to Mr. H.

Correspondence of The Robesonian. The high school opened here very favorably one week ago. Prof. Nickles, who has so suc cessfully managed this school for a term of years, is to be in charge for the ensuing year. The corps of teachers remain the same as last season, with a few chants. Misses Isla and Nettie MeKunzie have been retained since the school was fir&t or ganized. The Dillon cotton maket is on a healthy basis with numerous buyers. Much of the fleecy staple is seen daily on our streets, and is commanding fair price. Marion county, while not making a full crop, is going to do well and we feel encouraged at the prospects for a bright future. Our corn crop will be above an average. Our city will be represented at the campaign meeting in your city on zyth, as we are anxious to hear the silver-tonguedorator, your candidate for Governor, the old North State s standard bearer for Democracy, speak on that occasion. And we are glad to note that the Hon. Locke Craig will be on hand also to give us the benefit of his views on the issues of the day. We have recently had an op portunity to visit in several sections of our county and we are glad to say it wa3 our pleas ure to be thrown with some of our friends who came from your State and made homes down here in the Palmetto State. And right here we will say we are under obligation for that class of honest Scotch settlers who hails from yours, the "Old North State." There is a proposition on foot that is, we think, growing in popularity now, to divide Marion county and form a new county in the northern part with Dillon as county seat; and to this end there is in progress a survey ;and from the gentleman who has the matter in hand we hear that the territory is sufficient for two counties. We will have the Gov ernor order an election to be held at no distant day to get the necessary two-thirds of the voters in the section asking to be set off to themselves. We are contributing to the Bryan campaign fund by every means conceivable. At every voting precinct in the State on the 8th of September there was placed a regular contribution box so each voter, on depositing his ballot, had an opportunity to place his "mite," that it might be sent to the State excecutive committee and thence to C.

Our China Grove correspn the signature of Governor Smith dent told in yesterday s paper of on the bill as engrossed, Georgia has done away with a system which has been in existence ever since 1865. It was to settle this convict lease question that Governor Smith called a special session of the Legislature. He desired that the lease system be absolutely abolished and the bill as passed provides that there will be no leasing of convicts to any contrac tor for private gain. It is said these contractors have made thousands of dollars out of con vict labor in Georgia in the last forty years, men being leased to them at $100 a piece with the proviso of board and quarters.

According to the terms of that amendment to our State consti tution the time for registering under the grandfather clause will expire on the first day of next December. After that date every man, both white and black, who has not heretofore register ed cannot register unless he can read and write any section of the constitution in the English lan guage. This should be forcibly impressed on every man who has not registered and every effort should be made to persuade such men to register next month, for it will be their last chance. By the way, this allusion to our suffrage amendment reminds us of the confident predictions made in the campaign of 1900 by every itepuDiican ana ropunst speaker and paper that the amendment, if adopted, would be declared unconstitutional by the Supreme. Court of the United States. Every cross road Repub lican pohtican was a constitu tional expounder and with great confidence declared the proposed amendment to be unconstitution al, and that it would disfranchise illiterate whites as well as illiter ate blacks. So positive were they in this assertion that many white men believed them and voted against the amendment.
