ROBBINS DECLARES PUBLICLY FOR DREWRY FOR THE SENATE Boldly Answers Direct Ques tion at Steny Hill Amid Cheers OLIVE TAKES IT IIP WITH -SOME HEAT Says ltolibins Is Lined Willi t!ir I Jest Of (In- K;ilcl-li I'dlili. iaiis, and Adds There Is Not One of Them Who Is Not For Drewry, And That Too .Many Kalcij-li Men Are in the Court House Now, Thiit There Are Three Good .Men r'rom tilt Country For Sheriff That the" People Could Siiiiort ltolibins for New Commissioners, Too A Fisticuff Wound l'p Ihe Pay. . (liy SAM-OKI) li. KOTTKK.) "I am for John C. Drewry with nil my heart ami soul,'' announced James II. ltolibins, candidate for sheriff, in toru s that could be heard by everyone " .within a radius of an eighth of a mile, at Stony Hill yesterday, where the county candidates addressed the voters of that pre. hit of New Light township. The declaration of Mr. Kobbins, which immediately followed one to the. effe that he was for a change in the hoard of county commissioners, was docidely the feature of the day's speaking, it being .the first time that one of the other candidates has expressed Jiiinself publicly on the senatorial or counnls- aioner's light. Veils of applause greeted Sir. Rob-J bin's bold answer, for it was In reply to ouestlons that he declared himself as he did. The cheers showed at once how the crowd stood. It was a Drewry gathering to the tune of S5 per. cent at the most conservative estimate. Tile thing happened at the very out set of the speaking. Jlr. Itobbins was called to the platform by Chairman Morton after Mr. Hand, who was lirst up.'- After Mr. Pnbbins had made his customary announcement and mention ed a few things he was in favor oC, someone in the crowd put the direct question to him: "How do you stand for county commissioners?" "I am for the new board", quickly replied Mr. Itobbins. "How are you for senator?" again came the question. "I am for John C. Drewry for sena tor with all my. heart and soul", thun dered Mr. Kobbins in a tone that the wayfaring man, though he bo afar off, might have heard. Then came the spontaneous yells. - When Mr. olive came to speak, the last speech of the day, he referred to the incident with some feeling, -saying that something had happened at this mooting that had not happened hei-j- tofore during this campaign, one of the candidates for a county otliee going out of his way to state his preference for state senator. That brought Mr. Kobbins to his feet with a rush. "I was asked the direct question and what I said was in an swer to It", he exclaimed, and several in the crowd bore, him out. "Was ho asked the question?" asked Mr. Olive. "Well, I did not hear that however, I am not surprised to see where Mr. Itobbins stands, lined up with the rest of the Raleigh politicians. You won't find a single Kaleigh .poli tician Hint's not for Drewry." "No, and not many of any other kind," saiil a voice in the crowd. "Will you let me answer you"," said Mr, Kobbins to Mr. Olive. "No, sir, I would rather you wouldn't", said Mr. Olive. "When was I ever a politician," asked Mr. Kobbins. "When did I ever run for office before?" "There are too many Kaleigh men In the court house anyhow", went on Mr. Olive. "There arc three good men from the country for sheriff. You can vote for any ono of them". A good 20 men were gathered In the big grove that shelters a school house and a church when noon came, They were mostly votCrs from the Stony Hill precint, but there wero some from across the river In Harton's Creek township, a few from llobinson's Store, tho others New Light precint, and a sprinkling from Wako Forest. Outside of the candidates, there were not over two or three Raleigh men. A canvass of the crowd resulted In finding some half dozen supporters of Ollvo for tho senate. One fight Is recorded as tho only vio lation of tho peace and dlglnity of the state during tho day. Two youths or about IS years of age exchanged some dozen blows before they were separa ted, but no serious damage resulted. There was some very hard cider on the ground, and one of tho youjig men had evidently lunched well, but not wisely. The fracas ttccurred while Mr. Olive was speaking, and rather (iisirncicuj mo attention oi a large part 01 uio audience from his remarks, which just at that time wero directed to the squir rel law. There was no getting the crowd together after the tight, and Mr. olive brought his speech to a conclu sion very shortly. As at Wakefield and at other places, W. C. Itrewer of Wake Forest, candi date for county commissioner, warmed up his audience in great shape in his arraignment of the present' board and in his tills with Keren 15. Norris, who is defending the present board. The Speaking. W. T. Morion, the township chair man, introduced the. speakers. 11. D. Rami, was first, called upon as candidate for sheriff. Hi' was follow ed by J. H. liobbins lor sheriff. Major .(. J. Poniard, candidate for re-election as register of deeds followed Mr. Kobbins. J. II. Sears for sheriff announced his candidacy briefly, and made a plea tor the votes of New Light. Hurt. M. (tailing. Hart M. Catling' spoke next in de fense of the "Green" board ol county immissinncrs. Mr, Calling dwelt up on the fact that the present board had printed its statement in The News and observer, paying that paper $:!;.o. Ihe 'f hues representative was given no op portunity to bid, although it had been promised him. A practical printer had told Mr. Catling that Hie statement could have been printed for $KiO and a prollt made at that. Mr. Catling made the point that if the present board had worked the roads they 'would have had Hie balance in tho ..treasury that they have not. , "Have anv roads been worked in Newllght township- in the last two years.'" asked Mr. -(tailing. "None," said a voice. "None by this board or thai one .cither," said another voice. "No road work has been done except by the boys around here, and tin y got no pay for that." "Well .whv not nut in n board of commissioners that win tvorK youi roads?"-said Mi. Catling. : lie further charged that in the pub lished reports the expenses of the County Home for 1!KM were not pub lished because they ... found Unit the amount was less than in IUU5. As to Hie recent improvements in the court-house,- lin y were never made until after Judge Cook had said from the bench that he would Indict ' the' com missioners if lie had them before him on account of the Indecent condition of the court-house. The first grand Jury in 20 years that had reported unfavorably on the County Home was one while the present board was in office. True, new beds had been put in, but it was after the grand jury had said the condition was bad. In reply to tho charge thai the Given board had spent Sl.'HiU lo advertise and hold the. bond election for the 'Raleigh and Pamlico Kiiilrond, Mr. Catling said that the law required the county to hold the election if a sufficient number of citizens asked for it. Mr. ."Norris, as state senator at that lime, had il in hi; power to prevent the passage of "the biU calling for the bund issue elections, 11. F. Norris for Old Hoard. Herbert K. Norris followed Mr. Gal ling, speaking in behalf of tile present board of countv commissioners. Ho declared that Mr. Calling had turned his back on the Green .board two years ago and voted for the Uiddick ticket. That showed he considered their position vulnerable. . The present -board found only about .")5,IW(1 lo run the affairs' of Hie county uud Hie expenses of Hie preceding year were over $80,000. There were $33,000 of debts. Mr. Calling interrupted to say that this board hi 11'05 had $11,000 more available funds than the board had in WW. Mr. Norris and Mr. Galling then pro ceeded to disagree as lo the meaning of -word "available," and let it go at that. - Air. Norris referred to the $20,000 and $11, (XX) bond issues the present board found. Mi'. Calling said tho $14,000 was for bridges and the $20,000 for the roads. 'Mr. Norris declared they had no right t) tako money froin another fund for the road fund. It was taxing the people for roads indirectly without giv ing them a chance to vote on it. Mr. Gulling "You were senator then, why did you let the bill pass?" (Ap plause.) . Mr. Norris "I did not know the con dition of your finances. I didn't sup pose you were violating the law." (Ap plause.) Mr. Norris told the crowd that the present board of commissioners and Hie present members of tho legislature fought, hard for them during the last session to get that division of the dis pensary fund. The Raleigh people were all very willing for it now, but they strove hard against it them. As to the balance on- hand now, greater than at any time since the. Civil War, the board had already apportioned that money among the townships, and Newlight township would get more than the others, for it had not had it share. The old board never built any roads across the river. (Applause.) Mr. W. C, lirewer "What road work has this board done?" Mr. Norris "There was a fine gravel road built by your home In Wake Forest." Mr. Rrewer-T"pid they not stop work on that road as soon as I became a. candidate?" (Cheers.) Mr. Norris denied the Impeachment. "Tell me a mile of road built in New light," pursued Mr. Hrewer. "This board has done, more for us than any other," spoke up one voice. Mr. Norris, on the subject of the County Home, asked why the old hoard had never found out about the old tin ware and wooden beds. The grand jury made a report on a thing that had ex isted for years. At this H. V. Pace of Wake Foresl wanted to know whv Mr. Norris in ferred that Ihe previous grand juries had lied about that ware. Mr. Norris said he did not blame the jury for its report, and it had brought good results. There seemed, he said, to be a dis position to knock tile; present board all the time. Last week Judge Webb hud said he had been informed that the jail was in bad condition. The speaker had asked Judge Webb who had informed him. Judge Webb said some one had' mentioned il in his room at the Yarboioui-h Hotel. If the present board made an error of $2",o in printing statements tho old board laid made an error of St. 211. W. C. trotter Replies. W. C. Hrewer of W. ike Forest was heartily applauded as he arose to an nounce his candidacy for commissioner.1 Mr. Hrewer promised a more equal division of Hie convict labor on the roads. Mr. Norris had spoken of roads radiating in different directions.". The only spokes he knew radiated to Apex and Edwards' Mill. Had anyone seen a l:poke up in Nowliirht ? "No: but I've seen galleys knee deep," said a voice. Mr. Hrewer dwelt much on the road I law. saying that it elected he pledged Ids word I hey would do all in their power lo upset thai iniquitous law. iv .. .1 , tiif.se - fi.-in s.i hi iiie e .is ll i preat deal of deniagogiii rv about this road law. That came with a poor grace from a man w ho sat back in a city law olll'ee and made his money by lending money and practicing law. Mr. Norris again asked Mr. Brewer if he . would 'Vote-for Calling or Mc Cullers or Allen. Mr. Hrewer said he would not vole for Allen because he would not be. a candidate. As for Calling and McCulh rs, if the present board would not vote for Norris (Continued on Third l'age.) HARTJE DIVORCE SUIT Lawyers Have Talked Too Much Out of Court Indue Frazer Iiopriiuandcd Counsel. Testimony. Today of llamlwiitiii!; Kxperts Consumed the lOntire Time In Favor of Defendant. (f!y the Associated Press.) '.Pittsburg, .'.l'a.,. July -:-17. The wide prominence' given the details of the Hartje divorce case was the subject oi further remarks by Judge Hobert Fra zer w hen the trial was resumed today. The judge . talked to counsel on the same Hue as yeslerday, saying that ho did not wish to appear as accusing the attorneys of bud faith, but that he wished to emphasize his assertion that there had been j too much tulking out of court. The remarks of the judge, relieved the monotony of the testimony -which was entirely by handwriting experts, and covered ground that had already been traversed. James Duff and James H. Orr, both connected with local banks, said that Mrs. Hartje in their opinion did not write the "Sus'le-Wagner" letter, as did also J. H. Nieeley. The latter had a refreshingly new def inition for the missive in that he said it "was not full of life," meaning that it was not a free hand. : PERSIA TO FORM A SEW MINISTRY Teheran, Persia,' July 17.
