Correspondence of The Robesonian.
I plowed one day last week
and as I never plowed any to say
before I made some rows that
would do to call crooked. I
broke two plow points, a wing
and a clivis iron, and beat that
old slow mule more than a little.
But I believe a plow boy sees
more pleasure than any other
class of boys in America. For
he can walk along between the
handles and study about his best
I mean how stumpy the land
is and how our forefathers toiled
splitting rails, making boards
and other things that were made
by muscle power when the trees
were cut. I was talking to an
old veteran the other day. He
said wnen he was a boy he got
what money he called his own
splitting rails and grubbing at
night. Not so today, by a jug
full! But I expect it would be
better for the boys now, like
our fathers, to split rails at
night than to go to balls, dances,
and many other things that we
do go to.

Senators Simmons and Over
man Given Places on Impor
tant Congressional Committees.
Washington Cor. Charlotte Observer.
Both Senators Overman and
Simmons were fortunate in the
new committee assignments in
the Senate. The former is
placed on the conservation of
national resources committee,
which is a new one, and will
prove important. Senator Sim
mons has been assigned to the
finance committee to fill the
place made vacant by the re
tirement of Senator Teller on
March 4th. The matters refer
red to this committee are those
coming under the head of reve
nue and taxation, finance, cur
rency and banking. It is ex
pected that his committee will
begin at once a consideration of
the new tariff bill. Senator Al
drich is chairman. The Demo
crats, besides Mr. Simmons, who
will serve on it, are Messrs.
Daniel, Bailey, Money and Talia
ferro. It is said that this is the
biggest committee on which the
late Senator Vance served and it
is conceded to be the most im
portant in the Senate.
Besides serving on the finance
committee, Senator Simmons,
will be on the Democratic steer
ing committee, the committee on
the disposition of public docu
ments, of which he is chairman,
and the commerce committee,
the latter having charge of all
matters pertaining to rivers and
harbors and being, it is said, the
highest on which Senator M. W.
Ransom did service. By virtue
of his chairmanship of the com
mittee on disposition of public
documents, the Senator will have
in addition to his offices in the
new Senate building, rooms in
the Capitol which were occupied
by the late Senator Morgan dur
ing his service on the committee
on inter-oceanic canals.
The work of Senator Simmons
during the next few months will
be on the finance committee and
the national waterways com
mission. After examining"the
typical rivers and waterways in
this country, immediately after
adjournment, the committee will
doubtless spend the remainder
of its vacation in Europe. Sen
ator Simmons is endeavoring to
arrange for one of the sub-com-
mitteess of this commission to
visit Wilmington and go through
the sounds of North Carolina
some time in April.

Tuberculosis Making Great In
roads on the Indian Race,
Which is Rapidly Becoming
Extinct
Washington Dissatch, 21st.
As the buffalo vanishes from
the great Western plains, so is
the red man gradually disappear
ing through the ravages of tuberculosis.
To save the Indian race from
extinction by this dread disease
and yet lead it into the ways ot
the white man, is the great task
which officials of the bureau of
Indian affairs has undertaken.
There will be a concerted effort
on the part of all connected with
the Indian service for the remov
al of the causes of tuberculosis,
for education in the measure of
prevention and for systematizing
the care and segregation of
patients afflicted with this disease.
About a quarter of a century
ago when the white man under
took to civilize the Indian, tuber
culosis was an almost unknown
disease among that race. Gradual
ly the disease made its appear
ance until to-day the Indians are
dying off at the rate of approxi
mately a thousand per annum.
None seem to be so susceptible
to the onslaughts of tuberculosis
as the Sioux Indians in South
Dakota. Only last year nearly
one thousand members of this
tribe were afflicted with the dis
ease.
Tennessee Has Done Better
Than New York".
Philadelphia Ledger.
The best thing that has hap
pened for the South and for the
United States in many a long day
is the conviction of Duncan J.
Cooper, of murder in the second
degree, for the killing of ex
Senator Edward W. Carmack, of
Tennessee. A Northern news
paper some time since, comment
ing on this trial, said that it was
a "mighty rare occurrence for a
white man to be punished for
murder in the South." The criti
cism was true, with a suggestion
of the false, in that it was ap
plied only to the South. It is a
"rare thing"for a white man oc
cupying the same relative posi
tion as the Coopers to be hanged
or fittingly punished for murder
in the North. A common garroter
or thug or a burglar is likely to
be hanged for murder anywhere
in the United States, but the
criminal administration and pub
lic opinion are both so lax and
inefficient that if passion or poli
tics enters into the case, or if
immense wealth be at command,
the jury trial, as in the Thaw
case, is usually turned into a
farce. The courtroom becomes
a ghastly spectacle for a travesty
upon justice, the experts and
neurologists make a mock of the
State, the jury becomes hopeless
ly befogged and the culprit es
capes. Tennessee is to be congratulat
ed. It has done better than New
York. It has won a triumph un
der circumstances calculated to
balk justice in any jurisdiction.
Its ignorant jury, chosen under
ridiculous limitations imposed by
the State law, has given a judg
ment with a much truer sense of
justice and reason than if they
had been a collection of amateur
psychologists.
The condition exhibited in
statistical form is appalling. Life
is cheaper in the United States
than in any alleged, civilized
country, with the exception of
certain parts of lower Italy, noted
tor their criminals, and one or
two places in Spain. If the num
ber ot murders and homicides in
the United States be considered
in comparison with the record of
England it will be perceived that
we are in the Middle Ages. When
there is a miscarriage of justice
in San Domingo or Haiti we dis
miss it v:ith a sneer, but there is
no civilized country in which life
is so cheap as it is in the great
republic. The result of the Car-
mack trial is both amazing and
just, and, it is to be hoped, will
have a salutary effect upon the
South and the country.
News Items and Personals from
Important Matters Affecting
the Sixth District.
In Monday's Robesonian was a
news item in regard to a star
route from Buies' Creek to Lil
lington, an order for which Con
gressman H. L. Godwin has
secured from the Second Assist
ant Postmaster General. Re
presentative Godwin has also
secured un order from the Coast
and Geodetic Survey of the De
partment of Commerce and La
bor providing for the testing of
the meridian line at Fayetteville.
The testing line will be establish
ed by the erection of two stones
at the north and south end of the
meridian line. The Department
has promised to send a magnetic
observer to Fayetteville, who is
now on field work in Tennessee,
to establish and test the meridian
line. Mr. Godwin is also making
arrangements with the Geologi
cal Survey to establish a perma
nent bench mark at Fayetteville
to determine the height above
the sea level at that place.
Another very important matter
affecting the sixth district is the
recent success Mr. Godwin has
achieved in securing the promise

August the water escaped from
the banks of the Cape Fear river
and completely overflowed a large
area of fertile land in Bladen
and Pender counties, completely
destroying crops and rendering
many citizens destitute, and
quite a number homeless. Mr.
Godwin immediately made an ef
fort before the War Depart
ment for funds to be used
in constructing levees along
the river at that point, but
was informed that no funds
were available at that time. He
then introduced a bill in Con
gress providing for an approria-
tion of 5100,000 for the con
struction of these levees; the bill
went to the Rivers and Harbors
Committeef where it now re
mains because that committee
did not report any bill during
last session except the bill for
surveys. He did not cease in
his efforts for that section of his
district, and finally succeeded in
getting a promise from the As
ricultural Department to send an
expert engineer to that point in
in his district to make a full and
complete examination with a
view to building the levees and
draining the swamp lands in
that section. Mr. Godwin is
deeply gratified at the results
of his efforts, and no doubt the
news of his success will be re
ceived with a great deal of in

Deafness Cannot be Cured
hv local aimlications. as they cannot
reach the diseased Dortion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remeaies.
Deafness is caused bv an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lininar of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam
ed you have a rumbling tound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and un
less the inflammation can be taken out
aud this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearincr will be destroyed forev
er; nine cases outjof ten are caused Dy
catarrh, which isnothing but an inflam
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
catarrh Cure. Sena lor circulars iree.
