Bid BEAR CAUGHT MONDAY,
n Beaver Dam Township by Mr,
M. B.
Hall and Others..
From Saturday's Dally.
jn tar-away Beaver Dam on Monday,
Mr, M. B. Hall and others caught a big
black bear that measured five feet long,
and two feet and eleven Inches high
In a steel trap, made especially for
catching bears. , - s 1
Mr. Hall who was in the city this
morning, showed the reporter the
right fore-foot, . and Is showed
that this animal was a' number of years
old. He says this bear is what la
known as the "hog bear." and that ha
has lost several fine pigs, along with
number of others of his neighbor
hood, by , these bears eating them.
He says there must be some thirty
or forty of these bears Infested in and
around the swamps of Beaver Dam,
though .be has not made much effort
to catch (hem. When he went to re
lease this animal from the steel trap,
another bear ran across his path, but
he didn't attempt to shoot it, as he had
to attend to the one already in custody.
PIC-NIC AT MANCHESTER.
The 'farmers' annual ptc-nlc at Man
chester last Friday, 14th Inst., was one
of the most enjoyable of 11 3 many so
cial gatherings which have assembled
on the banks of the historic stream of
Little River from time to time back
to when "the mind of man runneth
not to the contrary." i -
There were not ''many old people,
nor- neaas or lammes present, per
haps the temperature of the weather
bad something to do with it, but the
young people were there in great nura
bers and It Is doubtful if you could find
a better looking set, of "young folks'
anywhere in the State. The heads of
families who graced' the occasion' by
their presence were of the highest
type of citizenship and dfd every" thing
In their power to make the occasion a
success, and give the young people
a good time. There was no speaking,
no music, no dancing; and yet we
doubt it there ever, was a social gath
ering in which people mingled togeth
er with more freedom and ease, which
after alt, is the only way to have a
good time at a plc-nic. '
" The plc-nic was held within two hun
dred yards of ,the site on which the
Little River Power Company will erect
its plant, which Is to furnish Fayette
ville with lights and power. This may
mean a trolley line from Fayetteville
to Manchester as well as to Hope
Mills. , -
No section in the country has made
greater progress in the last few years
than Manchester and it must be very
gratifying to the leaders who have
stood together and made such a noble
fight for special school tax and educa
tion, without which no people can
hope to accomplish anything great, or
keep Up with .the progress of this the
20th century;
The children of Manchester will
have as good advantage as other chil
dren. The special tax was carried
without a dissenting vote and the chil
dren will soon enjoy a modern school
building with a male teacher as prin
cipal, who will' be assisted by one; or
two lady teachers. This will be a
first-class high School. -
A WHITE MAN KNOCKED
IN THE
HEAD.
Various Rumors as to the Affair.
, A white man, who refused to give
his name, was knocked in the head in
disreputable house early this, morn
ing, and it was at first reported that
he was killed. He was able, however,
to leave this city to-day, saying that
he did not want to prosecute anybody,
that he was In company with two
young white men at Fayetteville, that
all were drinking, and he really did
not know ' how he received the blow.
That he received a blow, by some
means or other, was quite evident by
a big wound in the side of his head,
and which he had had sewed up by
a physician. It hj reported around
town that the man was sand-bagged
and robbed, but he says he does not
know what happened to htm, but that
he had not been robbed. '

GALA DAY MX,
Annual Sunday School
Plc-nlo Last
Saturday,
On Saturday, 'Aug. . 15th, the
people of Rex had their annual Sun
day Hcbool plc-nic, which Is always
looked forward to with great antici
pation of a good 'time. '. ,--.r;
Rex Is on the. Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad in one of the. best, farming
sections of the good pld county of
Robeson. This plc-nlo was annunced
only a week before, yet In this short
time, the people came together and
made It a great success in every way.
They , have a good . Sunday school,
which is growing and Improving all
the time. This school has at Its head
good men Messrs..; Ed. Currle, Mur
phy, Hall and Maxwell and others
who make It an ideal Sunday school.
Rev. Mr. Grant, who is a native of
Scotland, delivered' a Sunday school
address in the morning, which Was
earnest and Instructive. , " ';
The dinner hour arrived and was an
nounced by Mr. Maxwell, ; The long
table, which had been prepared In; the
grove, was. literally loaded down with
good things to eat. The large crowd
was Invited tothe table,; and after
Revi Mr.. Grant Invoked a blessing,
they Began to help themselves to the
sumptuous dinner, which!1 for variety,
quality and quantity, was-all that could
be desired by the most fastidious, and
delicate woman, as well as the strong
and robust man, who stood like an
army with banners ready to conquer
everything before them. Their motto
was something like this: "He that
hath no stomach for the fight, let him
depart." The battle was on and they
that went up .to fight were hundreds of
men, brave and strong, and by their
sides were ladles with hearts no less
brave and true, and women and child
ren not a few all coming up to battle
so strong and courageous, but the bat
tle was not waged long before, it was
seen that "the battle Is not to the
strong, nor the race to the swift," for,
In a very short time,1 there was not
one left to continue the' fight. The
young and the old had fallen back
and reatated to the shades -of the trees
where they found refuge from the
burning rays of old Sol, where they
spent an hour or two in social inter
course, giving cUptd a chance -to put
in some good work which he always
uses to so much advantage on occa
sions like this.
After this the audience reassem
bled In the house, where they had
some more good singing by the Sun
day school class, after which Mr. Max
well, the superintendent, Introduced
Mr. W. B. Malloy, as the speaker for
the afternoon. Mr. Malloy took for
his subject: "Home training lor the
boy and girl." His speech was well
received by the large audience pres
ent. And thus another day passed
into history and the people went to
their homes carrying ,wlth them
many pleasant memories Which had
been revived by this meeting of friend
with friend and the shaking of hands
once again on this side of the River.

THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY CON
VENTION,
No Now Recruits In Evidence.
From Saturday's Dally.
The Republican county convention
met at noon in the Court House with
halt a hundred meek followers of Post
master McCasklll present and meeker
Mr. C. C. McClelland in the chair. The
County Boss would have carried out
the Duncan-Adams Instructions to have
a big crowd at the Charlotte conven
tion by making delegates of all who
would attend, but the State press had
already warned the boys of the game,
ana tnereiore our adroit postmaster ieu
down. He well knows, however, that
he can handle the four or Ave dele
gates who will possibly attend, much
more easily that a large crowd, " Then,
too, his conscience is easy. He made
a good bluff at carrying out those in
structions..: '. v ':-'"'
In other matters he worked behind
the scenes, but secured everything he
wished..'- i ': ''.','. .' I.-
The Republicans are promising Rae-
ford Glenn county with as much assur
ance as It they could really deliver' the
goods through a Democratic' House
and Senate.
Those with Jobs present -were A. 'I,.
McCasklll,- postmaster; John A., Col
vln, Deputy V. S. Marshal; D. J. Cur
rle, postmaster - at Raeford; C. R.
Wakeland, U. S. Commissioner; D. C.
Downing, of Raleigh, U. S. Deputy
Marshal. - ;
Others on hand were Dr. Sneed, 'if
Legislative ambitions; T. A. McNeill,
who always runs for Register of
Deeds; Nathan Williams, the Black
River Magistrate; Cyrus Murphy, one
time Clerk of the Court; Wash Car
ter, , D. B. Culbreth, Westbrook Bare
foot, Alex. Cain, W. W. Wallace and
J. B. McFarland.
Quewhlffle, Gray's Creek and Little
River were not represented, so .only
S delegates were named until the chair
man and secretary were added to make
out the required number.
"We have no delegate that can be
deponded on to go," said Mr. D. .T,
Currle, 'when Quewhlffle was called.
Delegates to Congressional conven
tion' were named by the various town
ships, after Mr. McCasklll told the con
vention Its duties in this respect
Mr, M. Bill came near embarrassing
the convention again by a motion to
call the roll of precinits for the pur
pose of naming the precinct chairmen,
but his move was adroitly sidetrack
ed. Just before adjourning Dr. Sneed
found a chance .to get in his usual re
marks on Republican prosperity. He
said "let's put forth a solid front co
the enemy anyhow, for we have the
Democrats on the run," but he failed
to mention Taft's or Roosevelt's name
or the latter's panic.
Alter secretary Wakeland drew a
resolution saying recruits would be
welcomed in the party and a chance
given them to name county officers,
had it introduced by M. Bill and adopt
ed, Mr. James H. Johnson was then
permitted to move an adjournment.
The following, delegates were ap
pointed:
Congressional: A. H. Slocoinb, Na
than Williams, P. A. Kennedy, J. B.
DonIng, F. C. Newlln, G. W Cox, F.
Berkman, W. P. Collier, T. A. Geddie

nigan, M. Bill, W. W .Wallace, F. J
Vinson, J. W. Carter, M. C. Lon
Alex. McNeill, C. C. McClellan aud
C. R. Wakeland.
- A motion prevailed that any other
Republican in the county, who de
sires to attend either convention can
do so and cast hispro rata of the 11
votes. ;
No Instructions were given the, del
egates and they go foot loose, to vote
as they please.
The matter of calling the county
convention for the , nomination of
county officers and Legislature candl
dates, was left with the chajnaan.

McGILL FOR REGISTER OF,
DEEDS.
To the Public:
After loklng'over the anouncements

find there is yet room for one more,
and we Democrats of the West will
we present him as the logical candl
worthy a man as there Is in the partv,
whose political record is in every res
pect unimpeachable, i
Mr. McGIll Is too well known . :is
a soldier of the Confederacy' and si
tlzen to need any especial commenda
tion from us.
Furthermore, Mr. McGUl has not
solicited us to take this action, but
we presen him as the logical candi
date, and we ask the people of Cum
berland county to nominate him for
the office of Register of Deeds.
There is at present only one Con
federate veteran holding office In Cum
berland county, and the days are rap-
Idly coming nearer when there will
not be one left to ask anything at
your hands. If we have anything to
bestow on the heroes that fought with
Lee and Jackson, let us do It now be
fore it is too late.
