THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN. 2 COM MENT Everything that appears under the head of "comment" in this issue was put in type as editor ial for Monday's paper some of it even for earlier issues. Same way with some of the corres pendence in this issue. It hap pens every issue, for that mat ter, that more matter is put in type than can be used and some of it has to be held over, and we only mention it this time to as sure our correspondents again that when their news letters do not appear as soon as they ex pect it is always due to the fact that it is impossible to get them in earlier, and that the editor gives them the right of way when it is a question of holding over their letters or his editorials. LUMBER RIVER IMPROVE MENT. Lumberton is not going to op pose any move that has been made or that may be made to im prove Lumber river. The Wil mington Star does not want to forget that, in all it writes on this subject. Senator Simmons' bill which The Robesonian was the first paper in the State to publish and comment favorably upon provides merely for a sur vey with a yiew to -improving the depth. There is nothing said about making the river naviga ble and it is hardly probable that that was in mind when the bill was introduced. This river is the kev to any proper drain age of this county and we are in favor of a proper depth being secured and any other improve ments being made even if the river is not made navigable. We have not made the careful sur vey that some seem to have made and with all due difference to the accuracy of others' knowledge on this subject we seriously doubt if any one is pre pared to demonstrate to govern ment experts that such a plan is not feasible. Anyway, some how we should feei better con vinced about it if experts should report. Suppose a man were very sick and a friend should come along and suggest that an eminent specialist should be al lowed to diagnose his case and the sick one should say, "Go to, now, you are only saying that because you want my vote; and, anyway, I have diagnosed my own case and know it cannot be cured." One would think such a man not wise, but in that very line stand those who say that Senator Simmons introduced his bill for political buncombe only and that any scheme to improve the river is impracticable anyway. A SMALLPOX PRISONER One of the most delightful and REJECTED. refreshing things in the world is The other day a negro by the j to go to the telephone in a hurry, name of McQueen was tried be- j call one number, find that the per fore a magistrate in Rowland on ; son you want to speak to right the charge of entering the house j then is at some other place, try to of an old colored woman and ; rnK ofr so a3 to cal1 another num assaulting her, and was remand-ir, and find that for the mostin ed to jail in default of bond, lexplicably long time you are only Sheriff McNeill says the negro , calling the number you are try had smallpox at the time andj'n? to et awa-v from- U 18 de' that he told the authorities at I lififhtful if you are in a great hur- Rowland that hP rmild not take I ry. i ou ring ana ring ana ring, him into the jail here, that there was no use running the risk of spreading the disease as would be done by bringing the negro to another place of confinement and that if he was kept in Row land the connty would pay for housing him and for a guard. But the negro was brought to Lumberton and, as he said he would do, the sheriff refused to receive him and he was turned loose by the authorities who first had him in charge. Sheriff McNeill says that County Physi cian W. A. McPhaul told him the ! and the same fellow answers; then he rings and rings and rings and you both ring frantically un til you are almost exhausted with the sheer delight of the thing, and then central casually inquires "Through"? or "Did they an swer"? That makes it all the more pleasant. And then when you get the next number, just about the time you get in a word, before you have time to state your business, in pops central with a polite inquiry as to wheth er you have gotten through or not or if they answered.

D D ) prisoner could be confined in the I have heard of peopIe are 80 jail without danger of infecting the other prisoners, but he did not want to take chances. In its last issue the Rowland Sun comments on this case. It asks, What do you think of sending unreasonable as to think that the telephone company ought to in struct its employes to allow peo ple to talk a while before inter rupting their conversation, and ought even to give them credit a prisoner to jail on charge of for knowing enough to ring off criminal a9.,it nri th.n h w when through ; but such people J , i. 1 ...U i-U . charge of prisoners at the county seat?" The Sun says the negro was kept in the guard house at Rowland "for several davs be- i i:wi.. ;i, a in getting a tausc lie naa siiKiitiv aiciv, aiiu . . it wants to know if there is any use of "making more arrests and sending them to Lumberton or must we resort to other means of self-protection." That hard ly seems fair. One swallow does not make a summer. That is the first instance, and only Saturday another negro was sent to jail from Rowland and was received. If the sheriff had put the man in jail and he has smallpox really and all other prisoners in jail had contracted the disease no court could have been held here this week and, besides, he would have been severly condemmed for subject ing helpless prisoners to danger of infection. It does not seem to have been the proper thing to do. to turn the man loose. It looks like some sort of provision should be made for of cases like that ell joy in using a telephone is to be inter rupted as many times as possible while you are talking and to have to consume about as much time connection as it would take you to walk to the place of business of the one to whom you want to talk. Until one experiences these things one knows nothing about the real joys and comforts of a telephone. To the Maxton Scottish Chief: The Robesonian never shies at clean politics, but it has not much patience with cheap and silly criticism of public men. KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL. Health is Worth Saving, and Some Lumberton People Know How to Save It. Many Lumberton people take their lives in their hands by neg lecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and id health, but there is no need taking care to suffer nor to remain indanije!. a man charged Use Doan's Kidney Pihs a rem- Sept. 17th, 1911.
