Against Scotland. 16.
Ttole la ttm r**sult of tbe rota lu lUa
Houaa yesterday ou tba Scotland Coun
ty Ulll.
TIm rota was taken after a debate of
two hours.
Speeches were made—sad mighty
flue oats they wan too—by Mr. Mo
Lean, of Klelitooud. for tbe bill; Mr.
Wall of Richmond, against It, Mr.
Fatterion. of Robeson, against it, sod
Mr. Wlnatoo. of Bertie, for It.
Mr. McLean, uf Blohmond, waa the
Brat aixwk-r, making a strong argu
ment in favor of the paaaaga of Urn
bill.
“If lha matter were uot out of ao
great Importance I should gut up Dm
plea that Moses did of old; ‘Ob f/ord
thou knuweit thy servant la not elo
quent.’ ”
lie asked that tho Mil ha passed
without tbe dotting of an I or lha
crossing of u t.
Speaking of the pert taken by Uie
people of Die Scotland county in tbe
last campaign he aald:
“Tbe drat gun fired there in this
memorable campaign was by Ban
otKuba eouuty*» great sou. tho Honor
able Lock* Craig. The next waa Orrd
by that eloquent man from the East,
Die Honorable Charles II. Aycuck.
Aroused by thess two glaut* our peo
ple presented theineelvn us a living
aacritic* for White Supremacy sod
from that day tbeir cry was, ‘Oivo ua
liberty or give us death ’ "
Mr. McLean then no*I a statement
of the County debt, extant of territory,
value of property in the two oounttea.
Concluding be tald:
We are told In the Bible Diet A bra
h»ai went up oat of Egypt. He wut
vary rich In catile, silver and gold.
Lot also weut with Abraham Ho had
Back, bride and teats. Aud the Hod
was not able to bear them that they
might dwell together. These was
strife between tbe herdsmen of Abra
ham and lb* herdsmen of lari. And
Atwabam said uuto Lit. ‘Let there
be no strife. I pray time, between my
he dsiDcc and y»ur herdsmen, fur we
be brethren. Is uni tho whole land
'■efor» thee? Separate thyself from
ms.’
’•That’* wlut I want 1,1m (Mr. Wall)
to my to me.
•‘Wo leave Ricliuiuixi cotmy with
no ill feeling toward tier. There la uo
batter ujoii in this ball (referring to
Mr. Wall), and 1 am only sorry (fiat b«
cauoot see the question *« 1 d i."
At tho oooc'iiskmi of Mr. McLoat V
ipcncli Mr. Patterson, of Ribusoa,
amended tbe bill so as to require that
when tbe surrey of the new o mnty
was mads, and tho Una surveyed be
tween dootland and Robasou a coro
misaioaar for Robeson couoty should
be appointed to raprese t sliat county
la tbe survey ol the R >beeoo-Sootl*iid
line.
Agalust this nmeoUment Mr. Mo
Lean protested vigorously, oouteodlng
that It way douo to defoat the bill.
The antl-ScoUaad b tileries were
opened up by Mr. Wall, of Richmond,
lie replied at lengtb to tbe lullmatlna
tbat Scotland county set ou lire tbe
campaign lu that section and bore the
burden nod heat of the day.
White acknowledging Llis great work
done by tbe lower Richmond, he
claimed equal credit fof the upper part
of the county.
“ We have fought the battle together.
Wo have won together and having re
deemed the county we will keep It re
deemed, cuius weal or woe, Scotland of
nu Scotland. U is no question of pol
itics. U is a b islneu proposition,
aud such I hope you’ll ao consider it.”
Mr. Walt rerlewod the reeult of tlie
Scotland oounty election four years
ago. He eald tbe opposition to It was
strong tbaa. and be believed It wet
equally as strong now.
Touching tbe delit at Richmond
cuuaty, be eald it would hardly fall
one cent tmdnr $39,000.
“We get two-tblrde of tbe pauper
dement and a Ur greater pirUon of
the 900,000 scree of barren Uod tbat
will hardly support a Jay-bint. Scot
laud county takes tbe Hneet agricultu
ral laud and hardly knows wital a
liAuprr U.”
The argument that the creation uf a
now oounty would lessen expenses and
taxes, he aeM, was absolutely absurd.
••If you are going to create a new
couoty, the proper thing to do Is to
take In iho Robeson people who are
asking to com* In. Mind yon I’m not
In favor of a new c mnty, bat I say if
you are going to creme a new county,
tbat would be Use Just and proper thing
—take la these Robeson people. Rut,
co, they have no patience with sueb a
proposition, if thorn’s anything tbat
will make a HootUodite I tot under tho
collar It’s to talk about letting Robe

Maxton might happen to be Use oounty

town It caust ha a eoanly seat a new
oounty most bn created.
