N. C, under the Act of Congress of M:n:h :inl. 1H9T. MONDAY, FEBRUARY If., 1909. The county fight is over for the present and Robeson is to remain Intact. Those who opposed the movements could hardly have been expected to do less, and no fair minded man will censure those who worked for the new coun ties. Naturally a man in this section of the county would not want to see the county divided. and naturally, too, some of those who live a considerable distance from the court house would like to be nearer, and so want a new county. The fight was an entire ly clean and honorable one, so far as we know. And we don't know that either side is a fit sub ject for any special congratula tions. We wish we could believe that the question was in a meas ure settled, but it is more than probable that it will not down. NO NEW COUNTY. who spoke for Hoke were ex Representative J. W. Moore, cashier of the bank of Raeford, and Rev. Thos. H. Walters, a Confederate veteran of this county. The advocates of North Robeson showed that that proposed new county would have a populatiou of about 21,001 Major Chas. M. Stedman, of Greensboro, opened fnr North RnhtEnn Othpr snpnk- rs wprpMr.K.F,. T.pp nf I .umbpr- ton; ex-Kepresentative ueo.Hall, of Red Springs;ex-Repreentative D.P.McEachern, of Red Springs; ur.j.UMcMillan.ot lied bpnngs. The argument in opposition to the formation of Hoke county was ODened bv Mr. Chas. G. Rose, chairman of the Cumber land Demorratif pxprntivp com mittee. He argued that if Hoke county were tormea it would leave Cumberland almost, if not entirely. ReDublican. and he an pealed to the Democrats on the committee almost entirely on that ground. Maior A. A. Mc Kethan, clerk of the Superior Court of Cumberland; ex-Rep resentative I. A. Murchison Senator Nimocks, Representative Curne and ex-Representative H. H. Bolton spoke against creating Hoke. Messrs. A. W. McLean, Ste phen Mclntyre and E. J. Britt, of Lumberton; G. B. Patterson, of Maxton, and Representative M. Shepherd spoke against any division of Robeson whatever, op posing both movements. Mr. Leon T. Cook, of Lumberton, and Col. John Hinsdale, of Raleigh, fol lowed for North Robeson, and ex-Senators McLaughlin and Chas. A. Webb, of Cumberland and Buncombe, respectively, closed tne discussion for Hoke. Good arguments were present ed both for and against the for mation of the proposed new counties, but it is hardly prob able that either the advocates of Hoke or North Robeson really expected to win at this time. The committees adjourned after the hearing and the decision as given above was announced Fri day evening. Lecture by a Chaldean.

Mr. Simon has been traveling in this country about a year trying to raise funds for an educational institution to teach modern Christian ideals to the people of his church, which. thouerh the oldest Frotestant church, occupies the unique posi tion of being semi-Christian in its ideals. Mr. Simon's lectures, which were about his people, their needs and the work pro posed to be done, were very in teresting. A collection of 9 was raised at the Methodist church, the collection at the Presbyterian church amounting to Sll.

After the question of the establishment 01 tnese new counties was dis cussed pro and con before the Senate and House committees on cities and towns Thursday the committees decided to turn down both propositions, voting unfavor- auie reports tor both.

The Governor urges an amendment that will make con spiracies to put down and keep down the prices of articles pro duced by the labor of others in this State criminal and prescribe adequate punishment. He also urges that there be machinery added to the present law that will clothe the Attorney General with the power and duty of en- l'e-ru-na. The more care exercised in the selection, the more certain we are of lasting friendship; and the greater one's refine ment and education, the more judgment is displayed in the choice of friends. The selection and exclusive use of Stieff Pianos in many of the greatest educational insti tutions in the United States is a source of gratification to us, and we feel justly proud of the fact that in about two hundred colleges we have more than one thousand Stieff Pianos.

These announcements were greeted with applause in the House, for this is not a good time for new counties, and the Legislature is glad enough to be relieved of any further discussion of these particular propositions this session. The above is for the present the conclusion of the whole mat ter which has for some time agitated the entire county and which has taken a great deal of the time and mo- Viey ot many people. And Thurs day was Kobeson county day in Raleigh not exactly a Robeson county day.either, for there were many people from Cumerbland in that very much alive and interest ed crowd from Robeson. Special trains were run from Raeford and Red Springs. The Raeford train bore some 300 advocates of lloke county to Raleigh, and the lied Springs special carried some LOO advocates of North Robeson, inese arrived in Raleigh several hours before the beginning of tne hearing before the commit-tees-3:30 o'clock in the after noon -and long before that hour ine clans began to gather in the hall of the House of Representa tives The opponents of the pro- i;'jm;u new counties were out numbered largely, but there was a pretty fair sprinkling of them and those who were interested in some way in the proposed new uuuca enureiy nued the hall, lhey were asked to take their places in dilterent parts of the nan anu the hearing began at three o clock, lasting four hours. It looked very much like a polit ical convention, and from time to time the enthusiasts of each - side gave vent to their feelings yy uiCC1 a ana nanaciappmg, when i.iiv:u aiJUKesmen made some tell ing point.
