Cooks and Housekeepers Every
where Admire and use the Cele
brated Cameron Steel Range.
Read this:
Cameron Steel Ranges are Built to
last a life time and will do so, with or
dinary care. They seldom ever need
repairs.
The ovens are built larger than the
ovens of any other steel range made,
they bake and cook quicker, better
and with less fuel than others. They
burn any kind of fuel and the flues are
so large that they do not "choke" up
nor burn out.
A great feature is the warming
closet that makes it easy for the
housekeeper to keep the food warm as
long as she wishes.
Ladies especially invited.

Salaries.
To th Editor of The Robesonfen:
I ask a little space in your
splendid paper to inquire why
nothing is said by the press or
on the stump in regard to the
salary law passed for Robeson
county by the Legislature of
1907. If it is a good law, let us
approve it; if a bad law. let us
defeat it by our ballots. There
are numbers of our neonle whn
have forgotten nil
j wwut
law. and to sneak it throno-h aa
it looks now. is mean. If von
oppose a measure, have the
manhood to say so, is my motto
Some of our countv officers nro
paid too much, notably the
sheriff, but I am not
' - WW.M
SO much for the law hppnncn nf
the reduced prices it proposes to
pay, Dut l do not lavor the sys
tem
The fee svstpm
ted for quite different conditions
from the nrespnr Tavos Vio
increased during the last eight
years ax least ou per cent, or
from $70,000 to $lin nnn non
still we pay the same commission
lo conect. jno wonder our pnnntv
is m debt. It is a burning
shame that after agitating the
building of a court house several
years the whole had to be bond
ednot a peny to put in it Now
our taxes are almost a hnnfon
Let us begin to reform by ap
proving this law and ntVm-
ful steps and get out of debt.

Mr. J. L. Caddell Still at High
smith Hospital.
Fayettaville Observer, 24th.
One of the most interesting
patients the Highsmith Hospital
has had in a long time is Mr. J.
L. Caddell, a young man of
Rowland. It will be recalled
that he was shot by a negro
while he was driving a wagon
load of machinery from Marion
to Mullins, S. C, and that the
negro escaped lynching only by
a ruse of the authorities, who
secretly conveyed him to a place
of safe keeping where he now
awaits trial.
The negro claims that he shotMr.
Caddell by mistake. Mr. Caddell
says that he was passing a house
in which were a lot of drunken
negroes, when one of them called
out to him, using a name he did
not know. He told the man that
he was mistaken, but he paid no
attention and fired at him, the ball
entering the right leg. He was
brought to the hospital here the
next day and it was found
necessary to amputate the limb
at the hip joint.

Big Fire at Mullins.
Columbia, S. C, Dispatch, 2fith.
A special to The State from
Mullins says:
Fire today destroyed the
splendid three-story factory of
the Imperial Tobacco Company,
owned and operated by J. P.
Sale and Company, who are the
buyers for the Imperial.
In the Imperial factory about
200 negro men and women were
at work stemming tobacco and
so rapidly did the fire gain head
way that several had narrow es
capes. About 300,000 pounds of leaf
tobacco was destroyed.
The loss is estimated at $400,
000, mostly covered by insurance.
