ROBESONIAN H A Established 187Q. Country, God and Truth. Single Copies Five Cent VOL XLIV NO- 49 LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, AUGUST7, 1913. WHOLE NO 2886 MEXICANS AROUSED OVER LIND'S VISIT. Don't Like President Wilson's Plan for Pacification of Republic Lind's Position Will Reqnire Great Diplo macy. Mexico City Dispatch, 6th. Increased antagonism has been ar oused among Mexicans toward Pres ident Wilson's plan for the pacifica tion of the Republic, by the latest news from Washington that the object of John Lind's visit here as the rep reentative of President Wilson is to consult with prominent Mexicans and advise them that the only basis on which Mexico will be recognized by the United States is the elimination of President Huerta. Earlier reports that Mr. Lind pro posed to deal with Huerta, perhaps by making the direct suggestion that he resign, were received with indignation by Mexican officials. It was pointed out by a prominent Mexican today that in the former case the government might not consider itself oblighted to act until the sug gestion was actually put forward by Mr. Lind, but that in the second case the government might be justified in choosing him as one whose inciting Mexicans along lines of sedition and applying the pernicious foreign ex pulsion clause of the constitution. This Mexican also indicated that Mr. Lind was coming to Mexico, in an unofficial capacity and with nj credentials, he could not expect more consideration or immunity than an ordinary for eigner would receive. Mexicans familiar with interna tional law are reluctant to believe that Mr. Lind's instructions are for him to deal with others than the authorized officials of the de facto government. These officials are still firm in their assertion that no suggestions what ever, instructing mediation or the re signation of Huerta will be, acceptable and say that the best that Mr. Lind can hope for in this respect is to be ignored. However, the anti-Huerta element which is not prominently in evidence in the capital is skeptical re gading the firm stand by the admin istration, re. PEACE CONCLUDED BETWEEN BALKAN STATES Preliminary Treaty Will Be Signed Today Frontier Agreed To Trou ble Arose Over Dividing Territory. Bucharest Dispatch, 6th. Peace was concluded tonight be tween the Balkan States and prelim inary treaty will be signed tomorrow by the delegates of Servia, Greece, Montenegro, Rumania and Bulgaria. The agreement was arrived at only after another exhibition of utter help lessness of Bulgaria to face the ring of her enemies. Wednesday the discussions of the peace conference threatened to be come . iterminable but M. Majoresco, the Rumanian Premier and president of the conference, clinched matters by threatening unless Bulgaria ac cepted the modified frontier proposed by the Allies, Rumania's Army would occupy Sofia next Saturday. This threat had the desired effect and an agreement was arrived at today after numerous private consultations be tween the delegates and a four-hour .sitting of the conference. The frontier as agreed to, starts at a point on the old frontier west of the Struma river, follows the water shed to Strumitza, thence runs almost through the Struma Valley to the Belesh mountains and thence easterly in almost a straight line to the Mesta river, thus leaving the town of Stru mitza the port of Lagos and Kant hi to Bulgaria and the port cf Kavala to Greece. The new frontier is a deep disappointment to the Bulgarian, who still nurse hopes of its eventual re verse by the Powers. It is believed that an agreement for the demobilization of the various ar mies will be signed tomorrow. The news that peace had been ararnged caused great rejoicing here. Th war between the former Balkan Allies who had fought shoulder to shoulder against Turkey began on July 1. On that date the Servian Min ister of the Interior declared that Ser via was at war with Bulgaria. On the same day Greece also announced that a state of war existed. Rumania declared war on July 10 and moved her troops over the Bulgarian fron tier. The trouble between the Allies arose from the difficulty of dividing the territory captured from Turkey. Severe fighting followed and many thousands of men were killed or wounded. Soon after the beginning of hostilities numerous massacres and acts of pillage were reported to have been committeed by the numerous armies. TERMS OFFERED BY RAILROADS Rate Concessions Reported to Gover nor Craig by Corporation Commis sion Reductions on Freight Rates About 20 Per Cent. Report to Be Considered in Detail Next Tues day. Raleigh Special, 5th, to Greensboro Daily News. The various jrailroads operating in North Carplirfa offered the Corpora tion Commission a'scale of reductions averaging 20 per cent on Western pro ducts from the Virginia cities. The greatest reductions were offer ed on grain and grain products, com modities shipped from the West in larger volume than any other class of shipping. The saving to North Carolina ship pers will be $24 a car on flour in car load lots, $1.20 a ton on hay in less than car load lots, $21.60 a car on canned goods, $12 car on fresh meats, $12 car on wire fencing. Each of the three zones will get its relative reduction and only the wa ter points and those points near the Virginia line will not share in the general reductions, their rates already being proportionately lower than those of other towns. These are the salient features of the report of the Corporation Commis sion to Governor Craig this afternoon on the result of the negotiation with the railroads for lower proportionatal rates from the Virginia cities on inter State shipments from the West. The commission asked for an average re duction of 24 per cent and the rail roads offered 20 per cent. The report was transmitted to the Governor without recommendation, the commis sion preferring to wait until the Gov ernor, the Council of State and the special rate commission and any oth ers whom the Governor might desire to call in could have time to digest the matter. The commission hopes all parties interested in the matter may discuss the report thoroughly and agree harmoniously if possible on what to do. Governor Craig, the Council of State and the Corporation Commission conferred for nearly three hours this afternoon over the report, the Gover nor announcing that he would call a meeting of the legislative commis sion and probably others for next Tuesday to consider the report in de tail. Printed copies of the report will be ready by the end of the week and ship pers interested may secure them by writting the commission. On grain and grain products the commission asked for a scale of reduc tions amounting to 28 per cent, and the railroads offered 28. The commis sion asked for a reduction on flour of 33 1-3 per cent and was offered 29. On grain and grain products in less than carload lots, the commission requested 22 per cent and got it. A reduction of 10 cents was asked on flour in barrels; the railroads con ceded 8 cents. Reduction in agricultural imple ments, ets., in less than car load lots was asked of 25 per cent, and the railroads offered 20. The reduction in hay amounts to $1.20 a ton in less than than car load lots and $12 a ton in car load lots. Grain and grain products, except flour, are reduced $20 a car on car lodd lots. The reduction on flour not in barrels amounts to $24 a car. On canned goods the reduction offered amounts to $21.60 a car, on fresh meats $12 a car, wire fencing $12. Eachof the three zones will share in the proposed reductions. Zone No. 1, the Greensboro zone, extends from Winston to, but not including, New Bern on the Southern and Norfolk Southern, from Littleton to Cary and Henderson to Durham, including Ox ford, on the Seaboard, and from Hal ifax to and including Goldsboro, on the Coast Line. Zone No. 2 includes Charlotte, Statesville, Salisbury, Monroe, Ham let, Sanford and other cities. Zone No. 3, includes the territory between Wilmington and Hamlet and Fayetteville. Wilmington already has a lower rate than that conceded. While Asheville is not in any zone, the reductions to that city and terri tory are substantially the same as to other cities in the zones. A large number of reductions in commodities were made, the rates being as low as those to Atlanta. Bailey Nomination for Collector of Eastern District. Washington Special, 5th, Wilmington Star. Josiah William Bailey, of Raleigh, was nominated today for collector of internal revenue for Eastern North Carolina. It is understood that his confirmation will be made quickly and that he will take charge of the Raleigh office within a week, if his bond is approved by that time. Minister Praises this Laxative.

A small colored girl, about the size, build and complexion of a small bot tle of ink, let out the most blood curdling, hair-raising yells to be sure on Fourth street, between The Robe sonian office and the Parlor Grocery this morning about 11 o'clock. It brought people rushing out of doors to see who was being murdered and the sight that greeted their anxious eyes was a dot of midnight dancing in the noonday glare on the side walk, yelling at the top of her voice, and holding on to the bare end of an electric light wire. She did not know what had happened but she knew it was something dreadful. Right out of nowhere, so far as she could tell, something was shooting her through and through. She did not recognize the message the wire was sending through her small body, so she held on to what she had and jumped up and down and yelled. But not for long did she hold the live thing that was making her prance and see stars. Presently she dropped the wire, ex perienced immediate relief, and as she pranced off up the street she joined in the laugh the spectators let out when they saw she was not seriously hurt. It will be a cold day in August when that girl monkeys with another wire. She got all that was coming out of that wire and it was more than a plenty. In the Recorder's Court, Quite a bunch of people came over from St. Paul's Tuesday to attend a trial before Assistant Recorder R. A. McLean. Jno.

MUST PAY FOR PAVING. Town Fathers Instruct Town Attor ney to Proceed to Collect From Those Behind With Paving Ac counts Request That First Street Be Opened L'p Referred to Street Committee Property of Delinquent Taxpayers to be Sold. The mayor and town commissioners held their regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening. For some time the board has had under consideration the matter of a filter system for the town and has been making some investigation. At this meeting Town Clerk and Treas urer Page was instructed to write at once to Tucker & Lawson, Char lotte, to send a man to go over the water plant and give an estimate of the cost of installing a filter plant. Dr. W. A. McPhaul and Mr. C. M. Barker came before the board and made request that the town take steps toward the opening up of First street from Elm to Chestnut by hav ing all dead bodies which have been buried in the old cemetery, on the land that would be a part of this street, removed to Meadowbrook cemetery. Dr. McPhaul said that the Legislature of 1911 passed a law pro viding for this to be done, provided that the nearest relatives of the dead did not object. After some discussion it was ordered that this matter be re ferred to the street committee for further investigation, allowing them fifteen days in which to make their report. Town Attorney Stacy was instruct ed to advertise and sell all property upon which the account for paving, either street or sidewalks, has not been paid, together with interest from the time that these accounts were due, unless satisfactory settlement is made at once. Chief of Police Red fern was instructed to advertise and sell all property upon which the taxes for the year 1912-13 have not been paid. It was ordered that the town bear the expenses of one delegate to the State Firemen's Tournament which is to be held in Wilmington at an ear ly date. It was further ordered that the chief of police be required to give bond with a bonding company as sure ty, instead of personal bond as he has been doing heretofore, the town to pay for this bond. Wants $25,000 for Involuntary Flight. J. W. Smith vs. Cumberland Coun ty Agricultural Sociey, a suit for dam ages in the sum of $25,000, is attract ing considerable attention at Bladen court at Elizabethtown this week. It will be recalled that last fall during the fair at Fayetteville Mr. Smith took an involuntary ride dangling from a balloon rope. His feet became tangled in the rope when the balloon ascended suddenly and Mr. Smith had a dandy ride through the air very much to his surprise and terror and against his will. Wherefore he prays the court to award him damages in the sum of $25,000 for mental anguish. That is the only damage he suffered for he reached the ground in safety. There are so many witnesses in the case that means for accommodat ing them at Elizabethtown are over taxed and a steamer has been charter ed to take them to the Bladen county seat. The trial began yesterday and is expected to close today. Jurors for September Court.
