The ex2cutive committee of thp sixth congressional district meets in Wilmington Thursday of this week to decide on the time and place for holding the npvt. rnnvpntion. Whv not in struct Mr. Frank Gough, of Lum berton, who is a member of this committee, to invite the conven tion to meet in Lumberton? Ho tel facilities here are not all that is to be desired, it is true, but Lumberton could entertain the convention all risrht and it is practically certain that the invi tation from this place would be accepted. Lumberton is cen trally located and is easily reach ed, having excellent railroad con nections with all parts of the dis trict We suggest that the In dustrial & Commercial Club con sider this matter and see to it that Mr. Gough is authorized to extend an invitation to the con vention to meet here. owners to connect with the sew erage lines might think about that with profit. It is said that trapping fish in Lumber river has become quite a common practice and that because of that practice fishing with hook and line is more barren of results than formerly. It is to be hoped that these trappers will be caught and sriven the full limit of the j law.

A. J. MCKINNON. ROBESON FOR A IAN. ROBESON One First National Baimk, A. J. McKinnon for Congress. To the Editor of The Robesonian: When I first knew Sandy Mc Kinnon, twenty-five or thirty years ago. he was a poor young man working hard, under ad verse circumstances, to get a foothold in the business world. By his indomitable energy, hor e y of purpose, coupled with grtat natural ability, he has amassed a comfortable fortune, and now is one of the most suc cessful business men of this part of the State. A man of this kind, who has made a success of his own affairs, can safely be trusted with the affairs of the people. Any man who can think consecutively for half a minute knows what a great benefit it would be to Robeson county to have one 01 her citizens repre senting the sixth Surplus $18,000.GO. LUMBERTON, N. C.

Roosevelt, sometime Presi dent of these United States, is certainly the foremost Sulphite of this footstool. The Colone always speaks right out, straight from the shoulder, and before people get through wondering about one performance he breaks out at another point. In London the other day he laid down rules for handling the affairs of the four British-African prptector ates and told the English Gov ernment straight up and down that if it did not intend to estab lish and keep order in Egypt it ought to get out. There aren't any more like Colonel Roosevelt. When he feels like a thing needs to be said he says it and moves on, leaving those who are hit to howl. une iiuD noit, colored, was sent to the State penitentiary at Raleigh in May, 1908, with the prospect of sojourning there for the space of 15 years, but when the date in Hub s case was set down in the records at the peni tentiary his term was put down as iwo years instead oi lo, and Hub was released before the mistake was discovered.

He was in the thick of the fight for better prices for cotton when the fight was hard est. Read his opinion of Robe son's candidate for Congress. To the Editor of The Robesonian; Some years ago depression in all business, distress in the working man's home and in the farm home, all over the South, put the Southern people to think ing. A look at the situation shawed very clearly that unless the Southern people made defence of their rights, soon there would be dessolation all over the South. Very greatly to the surprise of the writer, he was called to take the lead for North Carolina in the great movement inaugurated to restore prosperity in our land. All over North Carolina I found helpers who most cheer fully devoted their time to aid me in the gigantic undertaking to raise the price of cotton from the price then, six cents, to ten cents, a price which meant pros perity to, our people. Among these loyal helpers, these men who had the good of the people of our State on their heart and mind, there was one who gave much time and thought and most liberally spent his money, and who rejoiced when the working man and farmer saw joy and comfort again in his home, brought there through the efforts of these men who did not nesnate to maKe tne ngnt tor a fair and just price for our cotton. Ihe man I refer to is Mr. A. J. McKinnon, of Maxton. If I were to tell of the long trips he took at his own expense, of the days he spent with the writer in other States, trying to influence other men to stand for .our rights, tell oi nis earnest pleading tor the farmer and the working man but why attempt to tell this; surely every man, woman and child knows of Sandy McKinnon's earnest, persistent efforts to help his tellow man at a time when distress was in the bank, store, factory, shop, town home and country home. I know the man, I know if he is sent to Washing ton, he will be just as active in watching every interest of the Southern people, as he was when unpaid and at his own expense he waged war for a price for cot ton, and for prosperity in the bouth. Very respectfully, C. C. Moore, Charlotte, N. C, June 2, 1910. district. Robeson has more votes iands in wisnarts lownsmp, Kooeson than any other county.

All this talk about "Not swap ping horses when crossing the stream" is simply "bosh". When you can get a better horse, trade. I, with a great many others, have always advocated keeping a man in Congress more than two terms. When ou get the right man, keep him there: but let's get the right man first. Sandy McKinnon is a good "mixer". He would make friends in Con gress among the best and most influential element, and when it is "all sifted down", a man's in fluence in a Legislative body, depends more upon the friends he has than upon his ability to present his cause in flowery lan guage. If Robesonians will work and vote solid for A. J.
