The new board of county commis sioners organized by electing Mr. A. J. Floyd of Fairmont chairman and Mr. E. J. Britt of Lumberton was re-elected attorney. Mr. Britt has served -the board in that capacity for the past 8 years. The board as now constituted is composed of the fol lowing members: A. J.

The retiring members of the board are J. W. Carter of Maxton, who had been a commissioner for 12 years, serving as chairman for 8 years of that time, and during his entire term of the office Mr. Carter missel only 4 meetings of the board; Mr. A.

Mr. Barker was the only one of the three who stood for re-elec- The keeper of thecounty home had hot been selected when the board ad journed for dinner. Former Keeper W. G. Reynolds is an applicant R. E. Lewis succeeds E. C. McNeill as sheriff. Sheriff and Mrs. Lewis moved to town Saturday from their home in Saddle Tree township and are occupying the Correll house on North Elm street. Sheriff Lewis has appointed A. H. Prevatt, also of Saddle Tree, jailer. Mr. and Mrs. Prevatt moved into the house at the jail this morning. Mr. J. H. Floyd, whom Mr. Prevatt succeeds, moved Saturday into his residence, recently remodeled, on Water street. Willia Britt of Britt's township succeeds T. - C. Barnes as deputy sheriff. Ex-Sheriff McNeill, who has serv ed the county most acceptably for .3 terms, 6 years, did not offer for re' election. He will return tomorrow t his farm near Rowland, where hit family have been living since the first of the year. When the county officers were placed on salary basis by the last Legislature the salary of the sheriff was placed at $4,800, and Mr. McNeill says that it has cost Jiim about $4,200 to run the office this year. In order to square accounts he has had to sell his bank stock and some of his horses and mules. The county commissioners came to his rescue this morning to the extent of their discretion in the matter, allow ing him $375 for the 15 months dur ing which he has been on salary; but this does not relieve him to great ex tent and does not wipe out the in justice done him by placing the sal ary too low. The retiring sheriff and his family have many warm friends in Lumberton who regret to give them up as residents of the town. Register of Deeds T. N. Highly and Treasurer M. G. -McKenzie were re elected and took the oath of office anew. The term of Clerk of the Court C. B. Skipper does not expire until two years hence.

McRae, Maxton, No. 4; Paisley McMillan, Red Springs, No. 5, and Jas. Johnson, St. Paul's, No. 6 both re-elected. From the fact that Drs. Brown and Early both have taken the oath of office as commissioner from district No. 2 it would seem that there will be a contest to settle, but nothing had come before the board to that effect when it adjourned for dinner. Dr. Early was declared elected by the county board of canvassers by 3 votes. Dr. Brown says he will be able to prove fraud. Revolutionary Reform in Fiscal Scheme of Government Proposed.

New Residences and Other Evidences of Prosperity A Box Supper Personal and Other Items. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Lumberton, R. F. D. 2, Dec. 2 All the crops are gathered most and everybody is ready for the new year to begin. Our school is progressing fast un der our most efficient teachers, Prof. A. F. Mitchell and Miss Annie Belle Humphrey. Our vicinity is on a boom as there are several new residences going up and the new mules and buggies you never heard the like! "Happy Jack," you think there is no place like the "Mount," but we do things here. Every one was surprised Thanks giving morning when they awoke and found it snowing. Many were dis appointed who had planned to make a visit or go bird hunting. There was no services at the church on account of the snow. This has been a very prosperous year, and every one should give thanks to the Almighty God for sparing our lives and many other blessings. Oven if it was gloomy in the morning everything cleared up and many hearts were lightened in the afternoon, for there was to be a box supper at the school house that night for the benefit of the school. The exercises began at 7:30 o'clock with devotional exercises by Rev. D. B. Humphrey, after which there were a few extemporaneous recitations of the pupils. Then came the selling of boxes and voting for the ugliest man and prettiest girl. Prof. A. F. Mitchell received a pumpkin for the ugliest man and Miss Annie Belle Humphrey a bag of fruit for the prettiest girl. The nice lit tle sum of $52.95 was raised. "Happy Jack," we are sorry you did not get here; hope you will be more fortun ate next time. Misses Isabel Wicker, our former teacher, and Mary Conoly of Marietta and Lumberon, respectively, spent the week-end in this vicinity. Mr. Roy Leitch of Rowland spent Thanksgiving with his sister, Mrs. A. H. Webster. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Baxley and little son, Wade, spent Friday at Red bprings. JUANITA. SHORT SESSION PROBLEMS. How to Dispose of Annual Appropria tions Bills and Other General Leg islation in 26 Days - Worrying Leaders. Washington Dispatch, Nov. 29. How to dispose of one billion dol lars worth of annual appropriation bills and transact other general leg islation in 26 days is the probelm wor rying Speaker Champ Clark and as sistant managers of the House of Representatives. Republican Leader Mann dropped in today to discuss with the Speaker the prospects for the three months' session. "We did not make any plans for the session," said Mr. Mann later. Speaker Clark agreed that no plans for the future had been considered. Senators and Representatives poured into Washington today from all directions. Senator Gallinger, the Republican nominee for the office of President pro tempore of the Senate, is expected tomorrow and a Repub ican senatorial caucus probably will be held soon after his arrival to de termine whether the New Hampshire Senator shall be continued as the nominee, or some one else chosen for the honor. In case a caucus is held there will be more interest in the personnel of its membership than in the subject of discussion. Senator Bacon, now the tempor ary presiding officer of the Senate, has taken up with returning Sena tors the question of procedure for next Monday.

NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE Enjoying a Visit in Fayetteville With the. Methodists A Great Year for the Church Some of the Notables. Special to The Robesonian. Fayetteville, Nov. 29. Your Fair mont correspondent is up here among the historic scenes of the old city and enjoying every moment spent with the modern heroes, the preachers of the North Carolina Conference, M. E. Church, South. Fayetteville has put on her gladest smile to welcome us and her handsome new church is full of glad-handed friends welcoming each. The attendance of the preach ers and laymen is fine and they all seem to be having a splefrdid time. The reports so far are very good indeed and we are sure the year has been a great one for our church. There have been several of the notables present, one of the handsom est and finest speakers being Dr. Mc Murry of the Church Extension Board. One of the most welcome vis itors to the Conference is J. M. Cul breth, of the Epworth League Board, formerly known by all of us as Mar vin. He last night made one of the finest addresses we ever heard on the church extension work. Uncle Betts is much in evidence and seems as young as he did twenty five years ago. Yesterday being Thanksgiving, all work was stopped at 11:30 and Bishop Denny preached a most magnificent sermon. I wished I were a stenog rapher to take it down ' verbatim for our friends at home. One of the most interesting meet ings to me was the Sunday school anniversary, presided over by W. B. Cooper of Wilmington, chairman of the S. S. board. The report of M. W. Brabham showed a great progress One of the most interesting fay dele gates is Ex-Gov. T. J. Jarvis, whose venerable head yet towers above many men. He and his wife are in constant attendance. The bishop and his wife are guests of Mr. Frank Thornton, who besides being one of the best mercantile managers is also a devoted helper in his church. Col. Julian S. Carr is representing Trin ity church, Durham, and looks as smiling as ever. The ladies are interested spectators of the session, and we really under stand the proceedings, too, whether you believe it or not. The most wonderful men of the State are these, our dear preachers, who come up from the hardest places with the same smile of courage on their faces year after year, ready for the next that shall be given and stand and sing "How firm a founda tion" with perfect faith in their lead er, God. The singing is worth coming to Conference to hear and when the Conference quartette give3 us an ex tra touch we feel like it is worth walk ing to Conference to hear. Today (Friday) the business of the Conference is well up and the memorial service is being held. Bishop Collins Denny of Rich mond, Va., presiding bishop, is new in North Carolina but has made a fine impression. He is handsome and attractive and extremely business like. One of the greatest pleasures of the Conference is the meeting of old friends, and on every, side are hand shakes and exclamations of pleasure and surprise. I have met many who knew me when a child and my father before me, and you can imagine the pleasure it is to me. Dr. Hamil, the head of our Sunday school work in the Southern Metho dist Church, is present today and will conduct a round-table on the work this afternoon. But enough. Your Methodist read ers will not find this too long; others need not, as it is God's work. F. S. B. Gordon Smith of Raleigh Succeeds Leinster as Adjutant-General. Raleigh Dispatch, Nov. 30. Governor Kitchin tonight commis sioned Gordon Smith of this city Adjutant-General, to succeed the late Adjutant-General R. L. Leinster, who died in August. The new appointee has served as acting Adjutant-General since the death of General Leinster. General Smith is the, youngest of ficer who has ever filled the office of Adjutant-General in this State.

The- congregation of Chestnut Street Methodist church raised for all purposes during the Conference year that closed last week $7,844.21, - which is quite a creditable showing, considering the strength of the member ship. Just a few years ago the col lections for all purposes of. this church amounted to less than $2,000. The total of $7,844.21 was made up of general collections.'including Sun day school, $2,267.22, and building fund, $5,576.99. Work on the new church is being pushed as rapidly as possible and it is hoped that it will be ready to occupy by the first of the year. Foils a Foul Plot.

Smiepzinc Out Protection Will Re duce Cost of Living More Than $1,-1 900,000,000. Washington Cor. Charlotte Observer by H. E. C. Bryant. The members of the Ways and Means Committee favor a revision of the tariff along the lines followed in framing the Underwood bills for the extra session of the present Con gress. Mr. Underwood has said that he knows no better way to reduce the tariff than to carry out the pro gram put through the House at the last two sessions of Congress. There will be a more elaborate re vision, every schedule being revised from top to bottom, but in the main the measures passed up to the Senate by the House next spring will be similar to those introduced by Ma jority Leader Underwood during the last two years. The present tariff duties required by the United States, with the pro tection squeezed out, it is said, will reduce the cost of living to the Ameri can people more than $1,900,000,000. The Underwood bills enacted into law will, Mr. Underwood says, save to the consumer the following sums: On chemicals, oils and paints $45, 756,212; earths, earthenware and glassware, $162,402,818; metals and manufacturers of same $415,354,679; wood and manufacturers of same, $50,000,331: sugar, ' molasses and manufacturers of same, $62,190,629; agricultural products and provisions, $339,757,705; cotton manufactures $210,251,416; flax, hemp, jute and manufactures of same, $23,578,000; wool and manufactures of same, $323,326,447; silk and silk goods, $54,653,739; pulp paper and books, $58,524,698; sundries $170,631, 855; a total of $1,916,428,529. These figures were prepared by the Ways and Means Committee, which will make the next tariff bill. Mr. Underwood will be re-elected chair man of the committee. In speaking of the cotton bill, passed by the House, the one about which the coming bill will be framed, Mr. JJnderwood said: "This bill re duced the duties pn cotton manufac tures from 48.12 per cent (imports of 1910) to 27.06 per cent, a reduction of the tariff burdens under this sched ule from not less than $200,000,000 to about $112,000,000 for a year, or a saving of about $88,000,000 for a 12 month period. It appears that for every dollar of loss to the treasury that would have resulted from the enactment of this bill the tax bur dens of the people would have been lessened by about $29. "To illustrate the effectiveness of the revision sought by this bill, men's cotton- half hose valued at 80 cents per dozen pairs wholesale are taxed under the present law at the equiv alent ad valorem rate of about 92 per cent. The Democratic cotton bill proposed to reduce this to 40 per cent. It proposed to reduce the tax on cotton thread from an equivalent rate of 34 per cent to 15 per cent. A suit of ready-made cotton clothing valued at the foreign port at $6 is taxed under the present law 50 per cent ad valorem, or $3 a suit. This bill proposed to reduce this tax to 30 per cent and save the consumer $1.20 a suit." The cotton manufacturers of the South can get a line on what the Democrats will do in the way of re ducing the cotton schedule by study ing the Underwood bills. There is no reason to believe that Mr. Underwood will change them materially. Manufacturers will be given a hear ing before the Ways and Means Com mittee nesft spring. Mr. Underwood has said that he will give hearings when the extra session begins. A Negro Accidentally Killed at St. Paul's. John Alford, colored, was killed yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock at St. Paul as the result of the acci dental firing of a pistol, it is claimed. In the house where the accident oc cured were two other negro men and one negro woman and they all con tend that the shooting was purly ac cidental. It is claimed that Alford was sitting on a box and that the loaded pistol fell from one of his in side coat pockets, the hammer strik ing the floor and firing the gu.i. The ball struck Alford in the head, taking effect near the right eye. lie lived about 30 minutes. The local authorities, after an in vestigation, did not think an inquest necessary. Alford was about 30 years old, and was in the employ of the W. D. Johnson Lumber Company. Expiring Session of Congress Assem bled at Noon Today. Washington Dispatch, 1st. The expiring Sixty-second Congress will assemble at noon tomorrow for its final work of legislation.

Seventeen young men of Lumber ton, three from Fairmont and three from St. Paul's went to Richmond last Wednesday night to witness the an nual Thanksgiving Day football game between the univerisities of Virginia and North Carolina.

They could not get any, comfort out of the football game, in which North Carolina met defeat to the tune of 66 to 0, but they- may have gotten comfort out of other things scenery, for instance.

THANKSGIVING DAY - IN LUMBERTON. Church Services Liberal Contribu tions to Arphanages First Snow of the Winter Dinner for County Home Inmates and Other L'nfor- . tu nates. Thanksgiving Day was pretty gen erally observed in Lumberton. With the exception of a few hours in the morning, all business houses were closed and the day was very much like Sunday. The first snow of the winter fell Wednesday night and -many are say ing that a snow was never seen in this section before in November, but older ones remember differently. Mr. W. S. Wishart remembers that it snowed in November about 50 years ago. The snow kept some who wanted to go bird-hunting in and so saved the lives of some of the feathered tribe maybe. Services were held at 11 a. m. at the First Baptist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. C. H. Durham, and a collection was taken for the Thomasville Orphanage amounting to $105.

Long Branch Locals. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Lumberton, R. F. D. 4, Nov. 30 As the fleecy staple is about all picked, corn all gathered and pota toes dug, and plenty of them, makes one think of the old saying, "Nothing to do and plenty to eat makes us all feel good.
