INVITE THE CONGRESSION
AL CONVENTION TO LUM
BERTON.
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.

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.

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

T. 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.

Moore's Opinion of Him.
Everybody knows Charles
"Cotton" Moore, formerly presi
dent of the North Carolina
Division of the Southern Cotton
Association. 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,

All this talk about "Not swap

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
