"We had forgot, until it came to hand
under a pile of clippings, that Col.
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.

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. Catarrh being Rreatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de
stroying the foundation of the disease,
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting na
ture In doing its work. The proprie
tors have, so much faith in the curative
powers of Hall's Catarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it falls to cure. Send for list

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.

"My mother, Mrs. W. H. Butts,
had been a great sufferer from indi
gestion, stomach trouble and rheu
matism for years. She was troubled
a good deal with pains in her back,
shoulders and arms, which made? it
impossible for her to get any - work
done. Every food she ate would
hurt 'her. Nervousness . followed
these other ills and se did not rest
at nights." The sneaker was Mat-

"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.

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.

Maintenance
, If you are interested in the main
tenance of our public roads, you
should attend the North Carolina
Good Roads Convention ' at Wrights
ville. Beach, Wilmington, June 21st
to 23rd, and take part in working
out a method for maintenance to be

The road committee of the North

vention at Wrightsville Beach, Wil
mington, June 21st to 23rd, and find
out what use is being made of the

narrow-tired wagon to destroy our
roads which have been built by spec

be prevented by regulations requir"

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.

from Tennyson. Instead of learning
