SUBSCRIPTION RATES : Tfcs Year Jl.W Six Months .... .75 Three Moeths .... .40 THURSDAY. JUNE 6. 1912 THIS DOESN'T MEAN YOU. Of course not it refers to people who do not know how to mse the telephone. When you ring a number and somebody answers, always shout "Who-zat" as loud as you can and shout it kinder like you are mad and don't intend to take any dragging. That leaves the im pression first off on the person at the other end of the wire that you are a cultured and refined person who is very polite and considerate of others. If you ring a residence or an offioe or business house and the person who answers does so bv informing you that you have the right number, don't courteously state your business and ask for the one you want to speak to: pay no attention to the reply but ask short off and insulted like if that is so and so or "whozzat." When you call an office or a business house and the person to whom you want to speak is not in, don't by any means give your number so that you may be called rbr"tnersda that person comes in, and so avoid taking up the time of oth er people who arcbusy; ring off and call again every few min utes until the person you want comes to the phone; it does not make any difference, of course, how much of somebody else's time you take up. When you ring an office or bus iness house on business you must assume that no one about the place has sense enough to attend to your business except the one you know best personally, so if that person is not in, no matter how trival is the matter you want attended to, don't by any means dispose of it with the person who happens to answer the phone: ring off and bother as many peo ple as possible about the place by calling repeatedly until the one you particularly want to speak to answers. People in business offices are never busy, you know. Men go to their offices or stores or what ever their place of business early mornings and stay late just for the fun of the thing and they al ways have time to throw away; so if there are any more ways than the few enumerated above by which you can make unneces sary demands upon their time and patience, don't hesitate to employ them. OfcoursTall readers of The Robesonian know how to use the telephone; there aren't any hay rubes and toil oots hereabouts. This is for the other fellow. Show it to him when you see him, as a matter of kindness. Selah. Senator Williams says it costs $6 to bathe a Senator in the lux urious bath rooms in the Senate office building and that it is not worth it, that the baths ought to be moved out to make room for public documents. It would be worth more than that to give some of the Senators the right sort of bath. State of Ohio, city of Toledo, J Lucas County. f 88 Frank J.

Once upon a time a guest in a palatial home awkawardly knock ed over and smashed a costly vase that was one of a pair high ly prized by its owner; for the whole world contained not' the like of that pair. But the owner was much more than a connois seurhe was a gentleman; and to relieve the evident distress and utter confusion of his guest he nonchalantly, and apparently with more inexcusable awkward ness than his guest's awkward ness, knocked over and smashed the costly fellow of the vase the guest had broken. The vases were worth thousands of dollars, but such an example of true courtesy is priceless. An old story, yes; but it is true, and as fresh and as sweet today as when first told, and as profitable to contemplate. A FLYLESSTOWN. Why not a flyless Lumberton? The World's Work says that ev ery town can practically abolish flies if its oitizens want to. The North Carolina State Board of Health will furnish all the liter ature necessary for a fly-fighting campaign, and such literature may be obtained free from many other sources. The Civic Asso ciation could not do a better thing at its meeting tomorrow against the fly and determine to make Lumberton a flyless town. Other towns have driven the fly out and Lumberton can do the same. It is a constant menace to health and life. Let's make Lum berton a flyless town. It is just question of whether the citizens of the town want to be rid of the fly or not JULY FOURTH CELEBRATION. A movement is on foot to have a big celebration here July Fourth. It has not taken defi nite shape as yet but the idea is to have a good speaker, to have contests of some kind, for mer chants to offer special bargains on that day, and to have a gen eral good time. The Robesonian suggested such a celebration last year but it was not taken up in time. The business men who have been approached in regard to this proposed celebration are in favor oi it and if they take hold of it that will be ample as surance that it will be an entire success and that it will be more than worth while to visit Lum berton on that day. We learn from the Statesville Landmark that the Democrats of Onslow county passed the fol lowing resolution, which ought to be adopted, as The Landmark observes, by every county in the State: "Whereas, corrupt methods of canvassing for support at the polls have become an infesting force in the politics of county and nation to such an extent that it is practically impossible to have a fair expression of the public will in all elections from President of the United States to township constable; therefore be it resolved, that the corrupt use of money and the use of whiskey at the polls cr before elections for the purpose of corrupting voters be earnestly deplored and condemned as tending to corrupt the voter, jeopardize and ulti mately destroy the liberties and morals of the people and over throw the very foundations of the government, and we pledge ourselves in all future elections to withold our support from any candidates who resort to such undemocratic methods." The Charlotte News says it learns unofficially that Messrs. Chambliss and Kluttz are to com pose the editorial staff of The Observer. If that is so The Ob server will continue to be up to the mark; and the Concord Times has it down right when it re marks that cutting down the ed itorial in The Observer from five or six columns to three is an im provement. - The Wilmington Star thinks the State Democratic convention which is being held in Raleigh today will do a fine piece of work if it nominates Craig for Governor and Col. E. F. McRae of Maxton for Lieutenant Gov ernor by acclamation. It will so, and by the time this gets in print we hope it will have done that very thing. In an editorial nearly a column in length The Star Tuesday spoke in highest terms of the Robeson county can didate's ability and fitness for the office he seeks. One of our exchanges says a preacher will get in the pulpit and preach that money is the root of all evil and then pass the hat around. But our contempor ary must remember that it is the preachers' business to dig up the roots of evil. Marshville Home. Thus for the sake of saying something "smart" some folks twist things about. What The Home adds is all right, but no preacher who is not a fool preach es that "money is the root of all evil." The love of money? That's different. The current issue of the Bulle tin of the Norths Carolina State Board of Health shows up the character of the ordinary house fly as being mighty bad. The congressional primary, June 18, is the next stop. Taft Wins in Ohio Convention ..Gets.Six. Extra votes. , Colianbus. Ohio. DUpatch. June 4. Ohio's Republican State con vention closed its first session in short order after awarding Pres ident Taft the six delegatas-at large to tbe National convention by a vote of 390 1-2 to 362 1-2. The State ticket including the new Congressman at large will be chosen at the adjourned ses sion, which was called for July 2. President Taft's strength in the convention was plainly ev ident as soon as the meeting had been called to order. In the re port Of the credentials commit tee eleven State delegates were added to the Taft strenth, with out a protest from the minoritry. In the first test of strength, a roll-call on the minority report endorsing Col. Roosevelt, the delegates voted 393 1-2 for Taft and 359 1-2 for Roosevelt. The result of the convention today gives Taft 14 of Ohio's 48 delegates to the National conven tion and Col. Roosevelt 34. 'Political Brigandage," Says Roosevelt. Oyster Bay. N. Y. Dispatch. June 4. "Pure political brigandage," said Colonel Roosevelt tonight of the capture of Ohio's six dele-gates-at- large to the Republican National convention by support ers of President Taft. Colonel Roosevelt said: "The plain people of the Re publican party of Ohio have just held a State-wide primary in which they repudiated Mr. Taft by over thirty thousand majori ty. The politicians by adroit manipulation have succeeded in giving Mr. Taft the six dele-gates-at-large, in frank and cyn ical defiance of the emphatic ac tion of the people themselves. This is of course pure political brigandage. Two Significant Facts. To the Editor of Tb Robeaoniao: In your summary of the dis cussion of the road law in Mon day's edition of The Robesonian, two very significant facts are brought out: First The man getting a good salary from the road fund is sat isfied, and wants the present law and management let alone. Second All those, to a man, who are not getting anything from road fund are dissatisfiied with the present law and man agement, and want a change. A. J. Groves Brussels dispatch, June 4. Belgium is in a state of eruption on account of the recent elections, and rioting throughout the country has taken on a revolu tionary character. Many persons have been killed or wounded in various cities and a large number of reserves have been called to the colors. Agitation in the in dustrial centers is rapidly in creasing. Every hour brings news of fresh' protest by the laboring classes against the gov ernmental victories. Former Populist Candidate for President Under Arrest. AutfTinta, Ga.. Dispatch. 3d. Thomas E. Wafson, Georgia delegate-at-Iarge to the Demo cratic national convention and one time- Populist nominee for the presidency was arrested at his home at Thomason, Ga., to day on a federal warrant charg ing sending obscene literature through the mails. After stopping as Watson's guest at midday dinner at Thompson, United States Marsh al George White escorted the Georgia editor to Augusta this afternoon. A $500 bond was quickly arranged and Friday morning at 11 o'clock fixed for the preliminary hearing, after which Watson returned to his home. Mr. Watson has signified his intention of acting as his own counsel at the trial. In com menting on the case against him, Mr. Watson declared that the alleged obscene matter he is charged with circulating in con nection with his published at tacks on the Roman Catholic hierarchy are quotations from a copyrighted book published in 1895 in Philadelphia. He declares he will fight the case to the fin ish. Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA To the Farmer!
