The farmers of Robeson are appar ently much interested in this plan and Mr. W. K. Bethune wil take sub scriptions for stock from any who may wish to subscribe in the future.

With- trouble srrowine out of Clayton's at- oufDoughton in Alleghaney and that ftoup of counties in the northwest for .which Doughton is the conscience, nobody would pretend to say what a loss to the primary vote Morrison would have received. Without Bowie n Ashe county nobody would have conceded that redeemed empire of mud. Without Grier in Iredell the sledding would have been hard. But Governor Morrison, no more than St. aul. "was moved by these things. He rede roughshod, for he wasn't one bit euphemistical in his words, over these all, giving them credit for high service so far as they went, but tell ing them the state was in no mood to auit with them. I Then there were three corporation commissioners across the snowy cap- tol lawn. All were his supporters m both primaries and two of them are among his warmest political and per sonal friends. Yet, he virtually went into that office and abolished it as it is- taking with one of them a sizeable aiice of salary and segregating the functions of this powerful organiza tion. It Was Consternating And climatically he reserved his rankest resolves. He has a notion that there are "dead ones' on the state's payroll. He would greatly appreciate the o-iportunity to appoint some Hvj ones." And with the power of selec tion he would ask the functions of re jection. For the price mating anve he would ask the privilege of killing. The thing was so consternating that a dozen well known heads were seen in a second dripping with the gore from tne official axe.

Clayton, a discharged soldier, had returned to Fayetteville Wednesday from New York to visit Miss Lindsey and Thursday night when he went to the home of the young lady her father repeated a Ftate-ment he had often made before. that he forbade Clayton going with his daughter and wanted him to leave the house. Clayton drew his pistol forced his way into the house, cursed Lindsey and threatened to shoot him. Triday morning Lindsey swore out a warrant for the arrest of Clayton. The officers approached Clayton with the warrant as he was leaving the telephone office- where the young lady works, with Miss Lindsey, and she ran back into the office when the of ficers told Clayton they wanted to see him a moment.

Indeed, it was their declamation re duced to a sentence. Their opposition to the old order has been based on the disposition of that well-established in stitution to mark out a path, gener ally a very narrow one, and to tell the youngsters to march in it. Govern or Morrison opposes it; they oppose it.
