Barker of The Scottish Chief let out some yells a time ago because we trod on his ties, slightly a some ref erence to his hero the great and good Col. Bryan. Col. Harker wrote quite a piece, the burden of it being some thing to the effect that Col. Harker and the editor of The Robesonian, be long to different . schools of democ racy (which we are quite willing to admit), that Col. Bryan js the only and original "friend of tho people", and that many who shouted for him aforetime rise up now to revile, not because the brain of the Great Com nooer has lost its cuteness or his fceart its loving kindness, but be cause from their lairs in wicked great cities of the North malefactor- f groat wealth have passed down the word to squelch Col. Bryan. Too bad that it is so. Why, we have it from Col. Bryan himself that he is always right, that when he says a thing is thus and so there is no use arguing about it and that all opposi tion comes from downright wicked ness and a desire to put something ever on the people, whose dear friend and defender he ever is. Our hero might exclaim with the late lamented Prince of Denmark, "The time is out of joint, 0 cursed spite, that ever I was born to set it right" only Col. Bryan enjoys the task. One might imagine the Colonel weeping because lie was not allowed to nail on accord ing tc is notion some star that he might swear was set awry in this brave ; o'erhanging firmament, . but never, that he could be mistaken as to the need for changing the work of the Creator. But we are not going to quarrel with Col. Harker about Col. Bryan. We are content for Col. Barker to worship Col. Bryan in peace. It is nice and comfortable to have a hero who can never make a mistake and not to admire whom means that one must be cast into outer darkness . RIGHT OF WAY Some correspondence and other matter intended for Thursday's paper had to be held over for.today's paper So much political advertising had to be set at the last minute for the last issue before the primary that there was neither time to put in type nor space to put in the paper news let ters frcm several of our highly-priced correspondents. Whenever the let ter of a correspondent of The Rob- esonian fails to appear in the next issue of the paper after it is receiv- ed that correspondent may put it down af a certainty that it was be cause of circumstances which the li tor could not control. We make it a rule to side-track everything for news letters from our correspondents al! ovfr the county whenever 't is possible to do so. They have right of way; but once in a while it hap pens, in spite of all we can do, that holding over a news letter for the next issue cannot be avoided. The legislative policy of the An Saloon League will ask the next General Assembly to carry out is as .follows: Prohibit clubs and other pub lie places from storing or keeping liquor for beverages purposes; pro hibit the advertising of liquor in any way, even to the sale of papers that do advertise it( a regulation which is not necessary so far as North Caro lina papers are concernecl, for no North Carolina paper, so far as we know, carries liquor advertising) ; pro hibit the sale, or manufacture for sale, of wine and hard cidar; prohib it the deliverv of limmr Kw hnMi' - - .j . ' J J U MI1L carriers and receipt of same; make it unlawful for any one to have in his possession more than half a gal lon of spiiitous liquors; provide for the smurc and the confiscation of any prooeity automobile, wagon or niYtl'i!:g tire used in transferring liquor for i'.'f.ral puipo.-pp. The Anti-Saloon League seems to be entire ly within reason in believing that if this program is carried out it will i.iean a death blow to John Barley torn. Qu'.e so. We have only one fault to !md with it: we join the Statesvilfc I andmark in calling for a !aw to nalf it a hign crime and mis demeanor to take a drink in the State. o We have received a cute little book let telling rbout the peace rcord of Co'onel Lcohevelt. And we saw the other day wher Kaiser William of Germany is the fleetest peace lotr that ever happened. To be sure. The Color pI and The Kaiser are as peace loving as r couple of Tomcats tied together by theix tails. o $100 Reward, $100' The readers of this paper wilt be pieasea to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has teen able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh.

Sold by all DrosrteU, HcT 1 The Scottish Chief of week before last carried a Robeson county supple ment of eight pages chock full of in teres ting reading matter about Rob eson county and some of its thriving towns. It was Well illustrated and printed on heavy calendared paper Most of the matter was prepared by Mr. D. P. Waters of Lincoln county for The Chief. In this connection we desire to correct an error into, which the. Fayetteville Observer fell in its reference to this supplement The well-written history of Robeson coun ty was not the work of the editor of The Robesonian but. of Mr. Jas. D. Procter of Lumberton, who wrote it 'for the special edition which The Robesonion issued a year ago last month and whjch was reprinted from The Robesonian in this special sup plement of The Chief, as . was duly acknowledged. Mr. Proctor deserves the. credit for that excellent history of the county. o The Charlotte Observer, detecting a repoicing note in a news item in The Robesonian in regard to many fly liap& large ones being placed about town, said .traps catching mil lions of flies each week, rises to re mark that it would be a vain thing to depend upon fly traps, et cetera, to exterminate flies while neglecting the breeding places. Right you are, neighbor, and we hasten to assure you that the breeding places are being attended to so vigorously that, with the aid of these large traps scattered about town Lumberton is going to be practically a flyless town. It could lay claim to that proud distinction last" summer on account of its ex ceptional cleanliness, with the friend ly aid of traps; and the same devoutly-to-be desired result is going to be: attained this summer.

FROM RED SPRINGS "No. more corn and meat from the West" is the word that comes from The Robesonian's correspondent in the God-blessed Philadelphus section. People of that section have learned how to live at home. The farm-life school in their midst has been a great help. People in other sections of the country should not forget, however, that this is a county institution, and it is worth while for folks in all sec tions of the country to visit their in stitution at Philadelphus and see what is being done. : 0 Old Spanish Coin "Uncle" Leonard Peppers, an old colored man, brought to The Robeson ian. oltice Saturday an old Spanish coin with the date mark of 1783. He says one of his children found the coin while chopping cotton on the farm of Mrs. T. N. Higley, near town, one day recently. The coin is 133 years old. On one side of the coin is a head and the inscription "Carolus te III Dei Gratia", on the reverse a crown and coat of arms with the inscrip tion "Hespen et Ind. Rex et Imp." The coin is silver and about the size of an American quarter of dollar. "Uncle" Len says he would like to sell the coin if he could get the right sort of an offer for it. !vew York, Junes 1 Dr. Arthur Warren Waite was today sentenced to die in the electric chair during the week of July 10, the penalty for the murder of his father-in-law, John E.

Crossing the Bar Sunset and evening star, Tennyson And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness or fare well, When I embark. For tho, from out the bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.
