In his speech Dr. Winston had this to say of the senior Sen ator from North Carolina, ac cording to the report of the great occasion written for the Char lotte Observer by Mr. T. W. Chambliss: 'The address of Dr. Winston was a masterpiece. He remind ed the people that the character of the people could be judged by its public men. He suggested that North Carolinians should be proud that they have in the Sen ate of the United States a man who is looked upon as being wor thy of being adjudged the leader. He said that when it became necessary for some Democrat to be selected in the Senate to take the front place it was Senator Simmons, the senior Senator from North Carolina, who was chosen and chosen because of his recognized ability. It takes a big man to lead in the Senate of the United States, and a little man would be pushed to one side, laughed at and ignored,' but in the case of Senator Simmons he was so big that he is placed in the front. "He also spoke highly of work of Senator Overman and sug gested that, with two such men in the United States Senate, North Carolina had the right to be prcud of its standing. He also remarked that it behooved the Democracy and citizenship of the State to keep them in the Senate.

HOMEWARD BOUND. Robesonians Leave the Moun tains on Return Trip by Auto Flowers, Sweet Flowers. To the Editor of The Robesonian: Our last walk in Waynesville was to view Eagle's Nest and on the way to the hills we stopped to admire Mr. Satterthavait's mag nificent dahlias and asters, such grand ones as we never see in the east He has the largest collection of yard flowers I had ever seen and one of our party was a florist from New Orleans, so we learned the names of many new ones. Thursday morning, and we bid a sad goodbye to our friends and mountain coolness and begin our downward journey. The railroad and county road both follow the valley of the creeks and their banks are gorgeous with purple and yellow bloom, the last flowers of the summer. We had intended stopping at Asheville over night but the boys heads being turned home ward they became at once "butt headed," if you'll, excuse the ex pression, so we only spent a few hours with Mrs. Reeves and dear little Miss Mary and away we went again. Saluda is over with no difficul ty and a refreshing little show er while on the top helped our feelings. From Greenvjlle the roads are fearfully dusty but real good and the ride to Spartan burg is much enjoyed. When sunset came we took a long lin gering look backward towards our beloved mountains, rising a smoky feathery blue cloud in the west, and wished we had a gift ed pen to tell you all of their beauty and grandeur, but it must be seen to be known. The greenest trees and grass of the east do not compare with the deep green up there and it even seems that the sunshine has a different sheen. When I was a little girl I read "The Land of the Sky" by. our talented but little known author of North Carolina, Christian Reid, and today I compared the trials of her trip over the moun tains in a two-horse wagon with ours. Such narrow escapes as they had and rough climbs up the steeps, roads only trails, and now we go in almost Pullman luxury with fine roads, conforta ble stopping places, kind and friendly people to help us along and every comfort needed. It is hot so hot here in Spar tanburg and we think of the cool veranda of the Maples with re gret The boys are out at their beloved moving pictures but I am rather tired and will bid you good night Not knocked out, you understand my trip has made made me younger for the pleasure of it but I am sorry not to have seen more interest ing places of which to tell. Friday afternoon. All is well. We are now in the hustling city of Monroe taking a little rest while enquiring the best way to Cheraw. Our first bad buck befell us this morning, a puncture which delayed us a while. All these towns look prosper ous and the people happy, and we hope they are. F. J3. B.
