2 THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN. SOME SUGGESTIONS. Mr. Barker Thinks That CourU Might be Held at More Suit able Times. To t Editor of The Robeontan: I wish to express myself as to a few things which I think would be beneficial to the tax-payers of the county. First, as to the time that our criminal courts should be held. The present term should have been held the last week in July, so as not to conflict with the ag ricultural interests. Just now the farmers are having the hard est fight with the grass they have had during the cultivation of the present crop. It's mighty hard for the law-abiding citizen to have to bear the burdens, the financial burdens, of the courts, also to sacrifice their time out of their crops just at a time when their services are needed most on the farms. A change would inconvenience no one. The mem bers of the bar could have no ob jection to this, as one time would suit them as well as another. Also as we see it we would like one other change as to the time of holding our criminal courts, that is, to have our two-weeks' terms of our criminal courts at a time that would give the best ad vantage to our public roads. Say we would have the two-weeks' terms about the first of August or last of July. This would give us the most convicts sentenced to the roads at a season of the vear when they could do more work and better work. We un derstand the judges have to hold courts in the several counties in the district, but inasmuch as we are the largest county in the dis trict we should be given the preference, and more especially have the preference over those counties where they do not use convict labor on the public roads. If there is any economy sug gested in the above I hope some one will take advantage of the press and lay the matter more intelligently before the people. I ask the members of the bar of Robeson county to co-operate JUDGE D. A. TOWNSEND. JUDGE D. A. TOVVNSEND. with us in the above suggestions, which will result in the saving of many dollars to Robeson coun ty. Unless there be something unknown to me why this should not be done, I ask the members of the bar to take it in hand, as it will be left with you. W. P. Barker. Lumberton, N. C, July 7, 19U.

Born In Robeson County and Became a Prominent and In fluential Citizen of South Carolina, His Adopted State. Mention was made in a recent issue of The Robesonian of the death of Judge D. A. Townsend atnisnomem uuion, . t. u., a brother of Mrs. C. B. Townsend, of Lumberton, and the following from the Uuion Times of the 30th ult. will be of interest to many Robesonian readers: Judge Daniel Alexander Town send, one of the most influential citizens of Union and known throughout the State as a legal light and jurist, died suddenly at his home here Wednesday morning about 9 o'clock. Judge Townsend had been in declining health for some time, but did not give up the practice of law until a few days before his death. He had but recently decided to retire from practice. He had been confined to his bed for some days before death seized him suddenly Wednesday morn ing, but it was not thought that dissolution was imminent. His death is mourned by a large num ber of friends throughout the county and State. His wife, one son, Mr. B. F. Townsend, and one daughter, Mrs. C. T. Murphy, survive him. Judge Townsend was born July 19, 1837, in Robeson county, North Carolina. He attended the country schools and Davison College, graduating from the latter institution July 15, 1858. In 1855 he taught school in Marlboro county. After coming to Union he taught for several years. Many of the middle aged men of the community were among his pupils here, and they to this day retain a wholesome respect for the strict disciplin arian who presided over the des tinies of the knowledge-seeking youths of Union. Judge Townsend was a brave soldier. He served in the early part of the war in the infantry, later in the calvary, coming out a major in command of his regi ment. On Dec. 4, 1899, he was ap pointed assistant Attorney Gen eral of South Carolina by Y. J. Pope, then Attorney General, and afterwards chief justice. In Dec. 1892, Judge Townsend was elected Attorney General of the btate and on Dec. 11, 1893, he was elected by the Legislature judge of the seventh judicial cir cuit. This position he held up to a few years ago. Upon his retire ment from the bench he has been eagaged in the practice of law under the firm name of Townsend & Townsend, his co-partner be ing his only surviving son, Mr. B. F. Townsend. Judge Townsend was an inde fatigable worker, and his prom inent position in the affairs of his State and in the legal fra ternity was woo by his meriting such prominence. Throughoutthe county and State there are many whose hearts will be saddened by the news of his death.

The picnic at the Big Marsh was just fine all the green peas you need to want, beef and oh, just anything in the picnic line up to burning clothes. It was delicious, as well as the girls. A certain young man on his return home from the picnic stopped to spend awhile with a young lady and he came up smoking a cigar. And as he started in the house he decided that he would want to smoke some next day and he took the old stump of a cigar and put it in his coat pocket, and after he got off he found that he had burnt his coat to ruin.
