C. under the Act or Congress of March ;Inl. lx7. MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, l'J08. Mr. Bryan's chances of being elected appear brighter every day. One thing is certain, who ever is elected, Mr. Bryan has shown himself to be by a long shot the biggest man that is fig uring in this campaign. Every step he has taken and every word he has uttered since the beginning of the campaign has strengthened his cause and shown him to be worthy of the great of fice he seeks. Since his nomina tion he has convinced the doubters of his ow n party of his fitness for the chief office in the land, while in striking contrast is the indisputable fact that Mr. Taft, the Republican nominee, has dwindled in the public esti mation since his nomination and many w ho wero sure of his fit ness for the oiiice then are doubt ful about it. now. Mr. Taft ap- It does not make any great dif ference, perhaps, and the Daugh ters of the Confederacy are going to do just as they please about it anyway, but we just remark in passing that if the same amount of labor and time were devoted to getting up an entertainment without outside aid the enter tainment would be just about as good and the profit would be vastly greater. It is an old game which has been worked often and often and the memory of man runs not back to a time when the pro moter did not walk off with all the profits and leave the local peo pie wondering why they allowed themselves to be fooled into working so faithfully for noth ing at all for some adventurer or adventuress, as the case may be, who goes away laughing in his or her sleeves for that they fleeced the people so easily. RED SPRINGS REVIEWS. pears incapable of taking the ini tiative and acting for himself.and many people who thought him a mifchty big man when he was Governor of the Philippines and Secretary ol War are woefully disappointed in him now. And the part President Roosevelt has nlaved in the campaign so far has stamped him as a much small er man than he ever appeared before. It is hard to think that a really great man would have stooped to the part he has play ed, lie has lost tremendously and looks now like a mighty small man. President Roosevelt and his man Taft have not appeared since the present campaign began as anywhere in the neighborhood of being in Mr. Bryan's class. Lumberton people might con sider with profit the spirit that is in the people of Rockingham. Have they any more roason for always referring to Rockingham as "the best town at all" than Lumberton people have for al ways referring to Lumberton as "the best town at all?" Not a bit. And it helps. It's an old, old truth that the world is in clined to accept you at your own estimate. What's the matter with everybody getting together and proclaiming in season and out of season that Lumberton is the best town ever the best town in the best county in the State? Mrs. A. B. McElyea, who lives near Maxton, affectionately known to Robesonian readers as "Aunt Becky," has been pre vented from writingfor some time on account of sickness in her family.

Greensboro, N. C., September 30. The week of October, 11th 17th will be observed here as centennial and home-coming week," in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the village that has grown into the prosperous and Droeressive city ot Greens boro. Committees of leading citizens have been at work for months planning to nake the event the greatest affair -, of the kind ever witnessed in any Southern State. Nothing has been left undone to add to the comfort, pleasure, instruction and edification ot the many thousands of visitors expected m tie city during the week. The municipal, county, State and national governments are con tributing to the success - the occasion. An epitome of the' week's rjroeram follows: Sunday, October 11th, the opening day, will be given over to exercises of a religious char acter.

At 8:00 o'clock in the evening a centennial address will be delivered by a prominent lay man in each of the city churches. The centennial exercises prop er will open Monday, October 12th, with a parade of 10,000 Guilford county school children, headed by a United States mil itary band, and reviewed by Governor Glenn, Senators Sim mons and Overman, and dis tinguished educators. Ihe pa rade will end at the auditorium, where the centennial oration will be delivered by Dr. George T. Winston, probably the foremost living North Carolinian. At 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon will be held the opening session of the United States Peace Congress, which will be one of the great est features of the centennial. Sessions of the congress will be held daily during the session, and among the distinguished non resident visitors expected are Hon. James Brice, ambassador from Great Britain; Hon. Rich- Grief Over the Death of a Be loved Physician PersonalMen-tion. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Our town was greatly grieved Wednesday when the news reach ed here that Dr. W. H.

Our readers will be glad to know that she promises to send a letter to the paper as soon as possible and they will join us in hoping that all the members of her household may speedily be restored to health. In response to a telegram from The Robesonian this morning Mr. A. L. Jones, of Fairmont, who was nominated for commis sioner at the Republican conven tion held in Lumberton recently, advises that he declines the nomi nation. In nominating Mr.Jones our Repv.blican friends reckoned without their man. He is a Democrat, has always voted the Democratic ticket, and refuses to bo pressed into service on the Republican ticket. We wonder if there are not other nominees of the convention who will refuse to serve. There is really no good reason why any Democrat should let the differences in the Demo cratic household prevent hir.i from supporting the Demo cratic ticket. If you went into the primary at all you expected the other fellow to vote for the nominees and there is certainly no sort of reasoning by which you can justify yourself for do ing what you would have con demned the other fellow for do ing. And you can accomplish much more good by voting for the Democratic nominees. For get all differences and roll up the biggest Democratic majority ev er in the corning election. Since the above was written a friend has shown us a copy of a special issue of The Argus, of date July 28, 1905, in which there is a short article about Mr. Jones which refers to him as a Repub lican. However that may be, he declines the nomination for com missioner on the Republican tick et now. Elsewhere in this paper will be found some facts about registra tion which every voter should read carefully in order to be post ed thoroughly about qualifying to vote. If you register right away provided, ot course, you have to register you will have the matter off your mind and will avoid the risk of forgetting it. going Into the primary One The manner of the arrest of I). A. Monroe.one of the negroes Sheriff McNeill brought to jail here last week charged with the murder of Willis Smith, colored, was rather out of the ordinary. It will be recalled that Smith. who lives on Mr. Frank Bullock's! place in Alfordsville township, lived :.b"iit two weeks after he was shot. He died last Monday night and as soon as his death occurred some of the negroes of that community went at once to Monroe's house, before he knew about Smith's death, and caught and bound him and took him to Sheriff McNeill. Too of ten it happens that when one of their race is guilty of a crime other negroes protect and shield him in every way pos sible, and these negroes who Should be Bound by Its Action. Charlotte Observer. When we go into the primary of our political party, whatever that party may be, it is notice to our party associates that we are all taking chances. It is a case of "pot luck," and while the winner may rejoice, the loser should be game enough to take his punishment. It seems to us that this is the very primer of good faith; so plain a proposition that there ought not to be any reason for stating it. A and B enter their primary, each for a different man. If A's man is nominated he expects B's men to fall in line for the party's choice. it, nowever, is wins, A can in nowise refuse to adopt the same rule of conduct that he would apply to his neighbor. To go into primary or convention and then bolt its action because the re suit happens not to please us, is destructive of party organiza tionis violative of what is cer tainly an implied contract. It is no part ot the purpose here to I lecture on political morality, but when one enters a game expect ing his neighbor to be bound by the consequences, and yet hold ing himself free to repudiate the action of the majority, it is so clear a case of breach of faith that we cannot understand any argument to the contrary. Par ties are organized for concerted action against opposition. When the concert is destroyed the or ganization itself is seriously weakened, and is nursing a germ which will work its ultimate de struction. There is no law which compels a man to attach him self to one party or another, but it he voluntarily does so and lifts his voice in the councils of that party it is too plain to admit of controversy that he should hp bound by the action, if himself a loser, when he would expect others to be bound by it if his own choice prevailed. luesday will be known as military day. In the morning there will be a parade of military companies and bands of music, to be followed by a reproduction of the Battle of Guilford Court House. The sham battle will take place on the original battle field, near the city, and the old lines of battle will be followed. United States infantry and ar tillery forces will represent the forces of Lord Cornwallis and Gen. Tarleton, North Carolina companies of the National Guard representing the Continental militia. The first session of the North Carolina Good Roads Con ference will be held during the afternoon and will be presided over by Governor Glenn. Other sessions of the conference will be held daily during the centennial and will be addressed by repre sentatives of the United States Department of Agriculture and other good roads experts. Wednesday win be given over to fraternal organizations. A leading feature of the day's exercises will be a big parade of Knights of Pythias, with num trous bands, floats, etc. Thursday will be a day of many striking features, includ ing the most interesting sessions of the Peace Congress and the Good Roads Conference, with addresses by distinguished men from different sections of the country. This will also be the big day" of the Central Car ohna Fair, with distinctive cen tennial features and attractions appropriate and interesting to all visitors. Friday will be known as Greens- npi x - r i i- -, ine wreckage or Character in the Present Campaign. In its issue of September 30, in glancing at the record to that date, The Charlotte Observer com ments as follows: The public sees from the news columns of this morning's paper that the war of words between the President and Mr. Bryan persists. The new development of this date is that Archbold, the vice president of the Standard Oil company, acknowledges the letters which Hearst has exhibit ed, and tells that they were stolen from his files. A trusted em ploye, he makes plain, stole them, and to whom they were sold is a clear matter of inference. But there has been no more shame ful exhibition in this whole case, nor one quite so humiliating to the South, as the statement, over his own name, of ex-Senator Mc Laurin, of South Carolina, who not only acknowledges having called on Archbold for money, but boasts of his association with the Standard Oil Company. We print Mr. McLaurin's letter with sorrow and shame. Where this whole scandalous business is to end nobody can guess. There has never been a political campaign which has in volved the personal integrity of so many men as this campaign has done. There have been strick en down, Senator Foraker, of Ohio; Gov. Haskell, of Oklahoma; General DuPont, of Delaware, the chairman of the Republican sub-committee on the assignment of speakers, and finally, a for merly honored, but lately for gotten man. In the wreckage of character which has attended it, the present campaign is nothing less than tragic. Spencer Shops Wrecked. Two men were killed outright, two so badly hurt that they can hardly recover, 15 or more were slightly injured and thousands of dollars worth of property were destroyed as the result of a ter rible explosion at Spencer Thurs day afternoon in the house in which the Southern Ry. Co. kept stored its powder and other explofr lves used in connection with the work at its large shops at that place. The plant is badly wreck ed and work will be at a stand still for some time. The shock of the explosion was felt for 1 1 mi a mnes around, ine house m which the explosives were was a metal structure which was prac tically full of nearly a car load of powder, dynamite, torpedoes and fusees. The explosion was caus ed by fire from a caboose which had caught on fire and which was standing within a few feet of the house. The third victim of the explo sion, James T. Gobbel, died Sat urday morning and it is feared that three others who were seri ously injured will not survive. The loss is estimated as between $75,000 and $100,000. Miss Ella Mclntyre Entertains.

Miss Ella Mclntyre entertain ed quite a select party on Tues day evening, September 29th, in honor of the visiting girls.The parlor, hall and veranda were beautifully decorated with potted plants and fall foliage.
