BICKETT'S VICTORY CON
CEDED BY OPPONENTS
Returns Indicate Godwin and Brown In
Second Primary In Sixth
Passed Off
I liht Vote With Four Townships Still Unheard From
Returns From 21 Townships Give Godwin 33 More
Votes Than His Opponents Old Member, of Board of
Commissioners Seem to tie
Wins Easily.
ir Saturday c primary in the Stic,
so far as can be known until thi
Etate Board of Elections canvasses
, the returns iu Raleigh tomorrjw, in
',' clicate the nomination of T. V. Bick
ett -for Govtrnor by a safe major
ity.' Mr. Eickett's manager says lis
carried every congressional district
sad estimates his majority at around
28,000 over Daughtridge.
Col." Bryan Grimes says he has de
feated his opponents Hartness and
Clark and that there will be n i sec
srd contest for Secretary of State.
It is thought in Raleigh that the en
: tire old Stat ticket has been renom
inated and that Mr. Manning has de
feated his opponents for Attorney
General.
- The Raleigh News and Observe"
' states this morning that Maj. W. A.
'Graham for Commissioner o Agri
culture is ahead of Maj. A. J. Mc
Kinnon. Maj. McKinnon, however,
still thinks he has a majority and "is
confident that at least he oVled
more votes than either of his oppon
ents. : ' .
From the best information obiam
;ible it seems certain that a sec
ond race for Congress will be neces
sary in the sixth, Mr. Godwin lacking
some 800 or 1,000 votes of winning
over his 4 opponents. It is thought
that Joe Brown will be in -he sec
ond primary with Mr. Godwin.
TLe nomination of Judge W. P.
;tacy in. the 8th judicial district to
succeed himself seems certain.
With official returns from Row
land, Red Springs, Rennert and Shan
non townships not available at the
hour of going to press, returns from
21 townships in Robeson indicate the
following results of Saturday's pri
mary, which passed off quietly, with
friends of various candidates worVn
faithfully and a light vote being cast:

by larsre majority over T. Leak

WILL RECOMMEND LUMBER
TON. POSTOFFICE BUILDING

Favorable Report on Building for

7 New Sites Will be Allowed
En 7n.Z:k bv the sub-committee
SlrJSn wSgto-nj
dispatch of the 2nd. Some time ago
n.nMOTvfatimi Oodwin introduced a
bill to appropriate $75,000 for a post
office building for Lumberton, to be
erected on the site purchased two or
three years ago for $10,000 at the
corner of Elm and Sixth streets.
What amount will-be allowed for Lum
berton is not stated, but the follow
ing from Washington correspondence
to the Charlotte Observer, under date
of the 2nd inst., gives the encourag
ing information that Lumberton has
not been slighted in the committee
report: . , . v.
"The subcommittee having in charge
the matter of public buildings and
grounds for North Carolina has not
made public its report -but it now
seems quite certain that at least sev
en new buildings and seven new sites
will be allowed in 14 towns of the
State. ,
It is certain that a recommenda
tion will be made for $60,000 for a
postoficfe and Federal Court building
at Wilson. This will make a total
of $120,000 for that city. $60,000 hav
ing already been appropriated.
"The committee will also recom
mend buildings for Edenton. Mount
OUve, Mount Airy. Lumberton, Le
noir and Morganton; and sites for
Louisburg, Sanford, Marion, Dunn,
Albemarle, Williamston and Clinton.
"Also an increase of S5.000 each for
purchasing sites at Wadesboro and
Rockingham, will bemade. Hereto
fore, $5,000 had been authorized for
the Purchase of sites at thes places
and it was found to be insufficient.
"Under the existiner lw. unless the
sites hve been heretofore acquired,
no public buildine an be authorized
for places where t" postal receipts
do rot exceed $10,000 nd the pur
chase of a site can not be authonW
tiTiess the postal receipts exceed $6.

8 Crops of this part of Robeson are
progressing nicely and owing to the
dry weainer tne farmers almost nave
"general green" conquered. Farm
ers are waking up all over Robeson
and especially in this part for they
get vegetables out of their garden as
mHv &a tkir shin it from the Sooth.
There are some of them that will have
roastingears m a lew days. Tne oat
crop is very short all over Robeson
ul especially in this section, owing
to t$e dry weather .
I jfuess there will not be many
folks that will get their teeth blue
this , summer for I heard an old
"aunty" say the other day she "went
huckleberrying and eould not even
find , any leaves on the bushes", that
some one had been ahead of her and
had , even stripped ' off the leaves.
Guess if they got any they were for
sale.' ,
