Established 1870. Country, God and Truth. Single Copies Five Cents. VOL XLI NO. 69. LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 19 lO WHOLE NO.2607 CONTEST ON WITH A BUSH AND A JINGLE. Contestants Are Wide Awake, Hustling For Bonus Offer Who Win Get It? The contestants are down to real good earnest work and are showing their true colors. Won der who will get the bonus offer Saturday? Several of the con testants seem determined to win, but we can't tell until the last day. Anyway, it is going to be a close race for the one that doe3 win. The way Mrs. Jenkins and Mrs. Barret turn in the one, two, and three year subscriptions would make you "sit up and take notice." These two contestants are really good workers and both are determined to win. Mrs. Stubbs is not very far behind and when she gets at work again she will keep a hustle on the rest. Although the weather has been very disagreeable tor the past two or three days it does not seem to baffle these contes tants, judging by the way they pile up the votes every day. If Mrs. Jenkins were two or three people she would make things hum, and as it is she is making a pretty lively tune. All the contestants' concentrated efforts make a perfect example for others who would do as well. They have a steady pace which always wins in any race. There is a lot of territory yet to be worked and now is the time for you to lend your support for your contestant. Work for their friends and ask your friends to help them. The contest is being stirred with a big stick now. You might as well get in; the more the merrier. If you have a horse and buggy it will pay you to use them in the surrounding counties. Perhaps you think hat you cannot afford to takp them away from their other work, but if you will figure out how much you will win if you get the piano, or even one of the other prizes you will see that you win gain tor the ordinary work. If you haven't already done so, n is nign time that vou werp making up your mind who you want to win that $400 piano. Then the proper thing to do is to work that particular contestant, and be sure that vou do vour part in helping her win the first prize. Don't stop at merely voting yourself, but see how many ballots and subscriptions you can secure, and encourage your contestant to put up a stiff fight, for that is exactly what the winner is going to do in this contest. So you want to be sure and play your part to a finish. And don't forget that there are six prizes in all to be won. If there is any hustle to you, con testants, you surely ought to win one of these prizes, so put up a EX-GOVERNOR GLENN. Will Speak in Lumberton Sat urday Afternoon A large Crowd Expected to Hear Him. Ex-Governor R. B. Glenn will speak in Lumberton Suturday afternoon of this week at & o' clock at the court house. A large crowd is expected and the ladies are especially invited to hear this distinguished speaker.

A band will furnish music for the occasion. DEMOCRATIC CLUB MEETING. WithThe Candidates Republi cans Get Cold Feet. The candidates were at St. Paul Tuesday to speak 'to the good people of that vicinity and the RepuDlicans, not being able, possibly, to endure some lively speaking on the part of the Dem orats, decided to brake ranks. So the Republicans spoke on one side of the street while the Dem ocrats spoke on the other, the Republican audience numbering about 17 and it a "spoted" one at that and the Democratic be tween 40 and 50. They were at Parkton yesterday. The crowd was larger than usual and the Republicans came home again. making a joint dicussion the Republican audiences, possibly, game tight, and you will be re warded for all that vou do.

The party from Lumberton made the trip to Boardman, a distance of 14 miles, in less than an hour. Barring two rather bad places and a difficult short stretch of sand near Boardman the road between these two places could be put in good shape without great cost.

Before they had been in power 2 -years they had a special act passed al lowing the commissioners to levy a special tax upon the people to nav the running expenses of the county. And yet no improve ments can be pointed to as a re sult of this special tax. Mr. T. L. Johnson responded briefly to a call for a speech and he also punctured the rotten rec ord o f the Republicans. Mr. Johnson had been shelling the woods some with the candidates and was somewhat hoarse, but he made a good talk. He de clared that the Republicans run every time their record is men tioned, that they cannot defend their record, and yet they have the gall to ask the people for their votes. That is unmitigat ed gall, when you come to think of it, Isn't it? Mr. Johnson re ferred to the criticism offered by the Republicans on the treat ment of Confederate veterans by the Democratic party, yet every dollar appropriated to better the conditions of these veterans in the State has been appropriated by Democrats, and when an ap propriation was first proposed Republicans opposed it. Chairman G, B. McLeod. of the county Democratic" execu tive committee, announced that ex-Congressman J. D. Bellamy and Mr. Herbert McClammy, both of Wilmington, had agreed to make speeches in the county. Mr. Bellamy will probably speak in Lumberton some time next week.

The criticism in Monday's Robe sonian of the untidy appearance given the grounds by scattered scraps of paper was not unkindly meant it was merely meant as a reminder of how such things impress the chance passer-by. Rev. A. E. Baker, pastor of the Presbyterian church, came home yesterday after an absence of something over a week. He attended Presbetery at Smith field last week and was made moderator of the meeting. From there he went to Lynchburg, Va., where he preached Sunday at Rivermont Avenue Presby terian church, from which church he has received a call. Mr. Baker has made no decision yet in regard to the call and it s to be hoped that Lumberton is not to lose so excellent and use ful a minister.
