Wherever the first pinch of prohibition abounds, there does the Robeson county santer much more abound. Last summer year ago, while off duty a while, he roamed about meditating in Wishart's township, this county, in Hog swamp, hard by Cypress pond, but since then he has been active in other places, and he has had business in other States.Just now he is devoting his attention to Wilmington. Read: "Half the colored population and not a few of the whites in the eastern and southern suburbs of the city are in a state of alarm, bordering closely upon terror, es pecially at night, over the ap pearance in their midst 01 some wild animal which is reported to have slain several dogs and com mitted numerous other depreda tions of startling nature." Sure, That from The Morning Star, and the news item from which the above is taken further says that none can say what the nature af the beast is. Not on your life you can't. No man was ever able to say what its nature was when it roamed these coasts. Mr.W.F. Willough by knew more about it than any body else, and he never could tell. Sometimes it would cry like a 'oman in distress, sometimes I it would moan soft and low,some times it would give wails like a lost soul however that wail is and sometimes Oh, it's an accomplished monster, all right, and so terrifiying are the va rious sounds it makes that whoever hears them straightway has urgent business in an oppo- site direction: no man has yet been hardy enough to come close enough to the santer to investi gate. The Star says that "sev eral who have seen the varmint solemnly avow that they are not hankering for the experience again." Quite so; nobody ever did want to see that santer twice. This particular beast terrible is described as a large brown beast with claws like a cata mount, but of much larger size. He is said to have killed several dogs in Wilmington, partially devouring at least one, and when one owner went to his dog's rescue and tried to kill the santer with a baseball bat he missed the santer and killed the dog, Do tell! What do you think of that? The Star wants to know if it is too much to presume that it is the Robeson ccunty santer "which is now causing all that howdy-do in Wilmington, and it rther deposes and says, "Cer- is, it is not a blind tiger, are unknown here." Bless his wild heart, nything it is our Robe- inter. Wherever the first of prohibition abound. he doth much more abound. 1 a Ail 1 r Interest To Place Robeson' County Officers on Salary. j The Senate Friday tabled a bill to prohibit the sending of public documents with the compliments of officers of State. On the same day the Senete concurred in the House amendment to the bill in creasing the salary of the Com missioner of Labor and Printing from $1,500 to $2,000. Other bills introduced Friday were: By Peele, to amend the State consti tution, abolishing the office of solicitor and creating the office of county attorney; by Turlington, of Iredell, providing a general system of recorders' courts; by Peele, of Scotland, to incorporate the John Charles McNeill Memo-1 rial Society. The bill providing for the drain- age-of wet, swamp and overflow ed lands has been made a special order for Thursday at noon. Among the bills that passed final reading Friday was one appoint ing T. J. Wooten, of Maxton township, this county, a justice of the peace for six years. Rep resentative McLeod introduced a bill to incorporate the town of Buie. The bill to punish persons maliciously circulating false and derogatory statements concern ing banks passed final reading Friday. Senator Peele's bill to abolish the office of solicitor and create office of county attorney provides that an attorney shall be elected for each county by the county commissioners, shall hold office for two years, and in addition to his duties as county attorney shall prosecute on behalf of the State in all criminal actions in the Superior Court. The salary of the office shall be fixed by the commissioners. A Senate bill by Mr. Nimocks to authorize and direct sheriffs and other officers to seize and destroy distilleries and apparatus used m the manufacture ot in toxicating liquors in violation of the laws of North Carolina pro vides that it shall be the duty of the sheriff of each county in the State, and of the chief of police of each incorporated town or city in the State, to search for and seize any distillery or apparatus used for the manufacture ot in toxicating liquors in violation of the laws of North Carolina, and to deliveirthe same with any ma terials used for making such li quors found on the premises, to the board of county commission ers, who shall cause the distillery to be cut up and destroyed in the'r presence,or in the presence of a committee of the board, and who may dispose cf the material including the copper or other material from the destroyed still or apparatus, in such manner as they may deem proper. The bill makes it the duty of theofficers named to seize and then and there destroy any and all liquors which may be found at such distillery and to arrest and hold for trial as now provided by law, all persons found on the premises. For every distillery seized un der this act the sheriff or other police officer shall receive the sum of which shall be allowed by the commissioners of the county in which the seizure is made. Any Sheriff or other po lice officer violating the provis ions of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon convic tion shall be punished in the dis cretion ot the court and may for feit his office. Saturday the Senate passed the House bill which allows the Gov ernor to sue directly in the Uni ted States Supreme Court in ac tions involving the boundary line between NorthCarohna and Ten nessee in the Smoky Mountain region, so that each case may be finally settled. On Wednesday the joint com mittee on manufacturers and la bor will hear cotton mill men on the child labor question.

MAXTON NEWS ITEMS. A revised bill for the organiza tion of the new county of North Robeson was introduced in the House of ReDresentutives Satur day by Representative W. J. Mc Leod. It differs in two impor tant features from the bill intra troduced in the Senate by Sena tor D. P. Shaw its boundaries take in the town and part of the township of Maxton, and it pro vides for an election in which the people of the entire county shall be allowed to vote on tne ques tion. The boundaries proposed in the revised bill are as follows: Be ginning at the corner of Scotland county at Campbell's bridge, on Lumber river, and running with the Scotland county line in a southerly direction six miles; thence to the main run of Shoe Heel creek at the crossing known as Seven bridges; thence a direct line to where the run of Bear swamp crosses the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad east of Pembroke; thence a direct line to the Cum berland county line so as to leave St. Paul's Presbyterian church one-half mile south-east of said line; thence with the Robeson and Cumberland line to Lumber river; thence with the channel of said river to the beginning. Section ten provides that the court house of North Robeson shall be located at Red Springs. Section 12 nrovides that the coun- tv of North Robeson shall bear its proportionate part of the debt of Robeson county; both bonded and floating, outstanding on the first Monday in April, 1909. Sec tion 14 provides that on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in July, 1909,. an election shall be j held in the county as now consti tuted upon the question ot the establishment or non-establish ment of the proposed county of North Robeson. At this elec tion every qualified voter of the county of Robeson as now consti tuted shall have the right to vote for or against the county of North Robeson. Section 15 provides for a special board of election to be composed of Dr. J. L. McMil lan, of Red Springs, Neill Mc Neill, of Parkton, and two men of erood character to be appointed by the board of commissioners of Robeson at the regular meeting in April. These four members shall meet in Lumberton and se lect a fifth member, or in the event they cannot agree on the fifth member the Governor shall appoint. The five members shall meet in Lumberton on May loth and enter upon the discharge of their duties. They shall appoint one registrar and two judges for each precinct, an equal number of each being appointed from those who oppose and those who favor the new county, and the election shall be held in the man ner prescribed for holding elec tions lor members ot the General Assembly. If the election re sults in the formation of North Robeson the board of commissioners of that county shall pay the expenses of holding the election. The other provisions of the bill are in substantial agreement with the provisions of the bill intro duced by Senator Shaw and which were given in a recent is sue of The Robesonian.

It is testified to that Represen tative McLeod made solemn promises that he would oppose any proposition to divide Robe son county. And further, that he well knew that without that promise he could not have been successful in the second primary held. He knows whether or not he made the promise. If he did he is honor bound to keep his promise.and we feel certain that he will. This is certain: no man who had let it be known to the people that he would support a division of the county for the purpose of making Red Springs a county seat, could have been nominated by the primary, or elected at the polls.

K." ana Lumberton needs a commercial club, if ever any town needs such an organization, and one reason why now is a good time to begin working for it is that when the office building of the Lumberton Cotton Mills is completed there will be an excellent chance to se cure good club rooms on the third floor of that building. There are no suitable rooms to be had now, which is probably the main rea son why there are now no club rooms of any kind here. If the right men will take hold of the matter it will be an easy matter to organize a club that will mean much to the town in a social and business way.

Fayetteville Observer, Jan. 29. There was a marriage at the court house at 1 o'clock this afternoon which was preceded by quite a sensation. A youthful couple, giving their names as George Hargrove and Lucy Cain, and their place of residence as Parkton, Robeson county, appeared in the register of deeds' office and applied for a marriage license. They had hardly finished explaining their mission when Mr. M. J. Cain, of Parkton, father of the would-be bride, rushed into the office and forbade issuing of the license, giving as his reason that he had heard that young Hargrove had negro blood in his veins. The bride-to-be broke down and wept, and the youth protested stoutly that there was no truth in the report A big crowd had gather ed around the interested parties by this time, and there were many suggestions offered a3 to how to ascertain the presence of negro blood. At this juncture, 'Squire James M. haircloth, of Cedar Creek, appeared on the scene, and as young Hargrove was raised in his neighborhood he set all doubt at rest by declaring the report taise. The license was at once issued and the happy young people were married by 'Squire Fair- cloth, and were cheered by the crowd as they left the court house. They had driven through the country from Parkton, while Mr. Cain came by train. News Items From Mt. Tabor Public Debate Friday Niht, Correspondence of The Jtobesonian.

Term Came Into General Use In America About 1 828. Chicago Kecord-Herald. How many of the countless thousands of persons who daily use the popular abbreviation O. K. ever give a thought as to its origin? Yet a very interesting story is told of its birth and at one time "O. K." was the slogan of a Presidential campaign. There are, in fact, several explanations of its meaning, and quite a few legends are told to explain it. It is plausibly held that in early colonial days the best rum and tobacco imported came from Aux Cayes, in Santo Domingo. Hence the best of anything came to be known locally as Aux Cayes, or 0. K. The term did not, how- ever, pass into general use umu the Pesidentialcampaign of 1828, when the supposed illiteracy of Andrew Jr.cksor., the Democrat ic candidate, was the stock in all trade of his Whig opponents. Seba Smith, the humorist, writ ing under the name of Maj. Jack Downing, started the story that Jackson indorsed his papers O. K. under the impression that they formed the initials "Oil Korrect." It is not at all im possible that the general did use this indorsement, and that it was used by other people also But Mr. Parton has discovered in the records of the Nashville court, ot which Jackson was a judge before he became Presi dent, numerous documents in dorsed "0. R." meaning Order Recorded. He urges, therefore, that it was a record of that court with some belated business that Major Downing saw on the desk of the Presidential candidate. However this may bet the Dem ocrats in lieu, ox denying the charge, adopted the letters 0. K, as a sort of party cry and fas tened them on their banners.

Saturday's News and Observe says that Chairman Klutt&of the senate committee on counties, cities ana towns, said, when ask ed what the outlook is for the numerous new counties.proposed, that of course the committees of the House and Senate would carefully consider all the coun ty propositions and that he would not express any opinion as to the merits of any of the prop ositions, but that in his opinion the sentiment of the General As sembly is such that no new coun ties will be created at the pres ent session. Senator Shaw's bill fixing the compensation of commissioners of Robeson county, which passed final reading in the Senate Fri day, provides that the chairman of the board shall receive $300 a year for his services as chair man and member of the board, and that the other members of the board shall receive $200 each per annum. The bill provides that absolutely no other compen sation shall be paid them. This amount is a little more than they have been receiving heretofore, but very little more, considering the fact that they have been al lowing themselves per diem and mileage for more than one meet ing each month for almost every month. Senator Shaw drew the bill of his own motion, without sugges tion from anyone. Try an Rd In this column.
