FOR PERMANENT ROADS.
Elsewhere in this paper will
be found a news item in regard
to a meeting which will be held
in Lumberton on Tuesday of next
week to consider the advisibility
of making some changes in the
present road law of Robeson
county. We hope the meeting
will be well attended and that
the subject will be fully and free
ly discussed. There is no ques
tion of greater importance to the
people of the county as a whole.
The present method of working
the roads does not seem to meet
the necessities at all, and it holds
no promise of any permanent,
lasting roads. Everyone under
stands the necessity for good
roads, the benefits to be derived
from them. There is no use ar
guing that point. The only ques
tion is how best to obtain them.
We hope at Tuesday's meeting
serious consideration will be giv
en to the advisability of asking
the present Legislature to allow
Robeson to vote on bonds in the
sum of, say, $500,000, for the
permanent building and improve
ment of roads. Twenty-eight
cents of the present tax of 88
cents is for roads. As at present
used little good is accomplished
If we are not mistaken a little
calculation will demonstrate that
interest and sinking fund for
bonds in the sum of $500,000
could be provided for less money
than is being raised for road pur.
poses now, and the question
would be solved for all time to
come.. The present patch-work
system is little better than use
less, while if sufficient bonds
were issued to build permanent
roads, the whole county would
be knit together and Robeson
would be a veritable garden spot
mere :s no guess work or idle
dream about the benefits to be
derived from roads such as Robe
son could have by these means
and there is no other way to ac
complish the desired result and
the bad roads that are the curse
of the county at present are too
expensive at any cost.
If this matter is not submitted
to the Legislature during the
vi eseni session u win ot course
necessitate another wait of two
years. If the matter is consider
ed in the proper light we be
lieve the meeting at Lumberton
next Tuesday will result in a
request to our Senator and Rep
resentatives for an election to
determine the question of an is
sue of bonds in some such amount
as suggested above.
NO "LESSER" LUMBERTON.
Under the caption, "No Great
er Lumberton." The Charlotte
Chronicle copies the following
from The Robesonian:
"It is proposed to amend the
town charter, making Lumber
river the limit on the west. A
strong resolution wa3 passed
against any change and urging
upon the Senator and Represen
tatives from Robeson the import
ance of not making the change
proposed. It is thought that if
the proposed change were made
the section just across the river
would become a refuge for un
desirable citizens and would be a
constant menace to the town."
The Chronicle shows by the
caption under which it copies the
above that it is laboring under a
mistaken idea. We want no
"lesser" Lumberton. The sec
tion referred to is already in
cluded in the town limits and the
proposed change would contract
the limits of the town. ,She is
not blowing much about it, but
Lumberton is becoming Greater
Lumberton all the while.
A matter which comes clearly
within the power of the corpora
tion commission to remedy, and
which is a great nuisance, is the
failure of Atlantic Coast Line
and Seaboard trains to make any
sort of proper connections at
Pembroke. Morning and eve
ning Seaboard trains to Pem
broke miss connection with Coast
Line trains to Rowland by only I
a few minutes, so that it is im
possible to get to Rowland by
rail from Lumberton without
spending a day or night in Pem
broke. It is one of those pro
voking narrow misses that makes
people think the railroads are
actuated by a spirit of pure cuss-
edness. By changing the sched
ules on either or both lines by
less than ten minutes connec
tions could be made both morn
ing and evening, but the change
will not be made unless the cor
poration commission takes the
matter in hand. The gentlemen
compose body wil
ila 1 ; 4.u:
CaUSe tne people in tniS
in this section
to rise up and call them blessed
if they will make the railroads
come to taw in this matter.
Robeson county has no notion
of going back on her record for
homicides. She continues to stand
up to it mighty well. Wilming
ton Star, 10th.
What causes The Star to break
out like that, we wonder? There
have been no homicides in Robe
son recently that we recall, and
Solicitor Sinclair says that Robe
son is one of the best counties in
the State in that particular. A
Croatan got in the way of a fast
train at Rowland Saturday morn
ing and was killed and the body
of a negro who jumped into Lum
ber river and was drowned was
found Saturday, but these furn
ish mighty poor excuse for re
ferring to Robeson's homicide
record as though its record in
that particular were something
to be wondered at. We wait to
see if The Star will explain what
occasion it has at this time to re
fer to Robeson's suicide record.
Mr. J. F. McKay's suggestion
for an act to prohibit any divi-
oiuii oi .rcoDeson county ior a
period of two hundred and fifty
years, published elsewhere in
this paper providing heavy pun
ishment for any person who shall
dare to work for, discuss or think
about division, is what Col. Al.
i airbrother calls the ' 'stuph' '
or does he call it the "stuff?'1
Anyway, It's all right. Any
thing for a quiet life.
A large number of citizens of
Robeson county, both those who
oppose and those who favor di
vision of the county, is in Raleigh
today, and the matter will be
threshed out to a finish before
the committees on counties,
cities and towns today and to
morrow. Uetore the next
issue of The Robesonian it
win De known whether or not
the blow has really "fell." It
is impossible to forecast the re
suit just now.

The proposition for the crea
tion of Nuseley county out of
portions of Lenoir, Greene and
Wayne, with La Grange as coun
ty scat, met its death in the Sen
ate committee on connties, cities
and towns Tuesday after a
lengthy hearing. The committee
considered that no valid reason
for creating a new county was
shown.
A call is issued at the request
of Gen. Julian S. Carr and other
prominent Confederate veterans
for the commanders of all the lo
cal camps in the State to meet in
Raleigh Thursday, the 18th., to
consider the situation as to the
efforts to procure from this Leg
islature an increase in pensions.
After this conference of com
manders it is expected that the
veterans will have hearings prob
ably before a joint session of
committees on pensions and fi
nance. The old soldiers want
the present 400,000 in pensions
to be at least doubled in order to
put the State on an equally cred
itable footing in this matter with
other States.
A bill was introduced in the
