The criminal court Of Robson coun-

are no cases of much Importance.
The Lumberton fair comes off No

fore, November End, the John Robin

be here, and during fair week the
Charles King Theatre Company will
play every night, it is said. So Lum-
berton is to have an unusually lively
time for that week, it seems.
From appearances LumbertOn must
now be n Of the most progressive
towns of it's size in the state. Since the
disastrous fires last year and the year
before many new twO-StOry brick
buildings have been erected, as we'll as
many other notable improvements. Mr..
H. S. Jones, the contractor, seems to be
giving great satisfaction. He ha built
a dozen or more stores here recently
as we'll as several handsome brick
buildings in Mt. Olive.

O HI ASSEMBLY
Mr.. Solomon C. Weil', the Well Known
Lawyer, the Candidate Of the Democratic
Party for Assembly In the Nineteenth
District-A Man who Adds Great Strength
to the Ticket

District-A Man who Adds Great strength
to the Ticket
The above headlines and the follow
ing article are taken from the New
York Mercantile and Financial Times:
What has been said in these col
umns in regard to the Importance of
electing able and honorable men to the
local offices created under the charter
of the Greater New York applies with
equal force to the state Legislature at
Albany. 1t will be of little use to have
one party in power pulling one way in
New York city. if another party of
equal, or nearly equal strength, is pull
ing another way at Albany. That is a
kind of thing from which the city has
suffered much in times past. 1t has
been, to use a homely expression, DE
tween the devil and the deep sea-
1T is. therefore, a cause for encour-
| agement to find that Mr.. Solomon C..
WE'LL, the well known lawyer, has &C
cepted the nomination Of his party to
the assembly in the Nineteenth dis
| trict. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
| Phillip A.. Morrison was originally
| nominated for his particular office,
i but by means of his ineligibility, he
| has now declined the nomination. He
will, however. turn all his influence In
| favor of his successor on the ticket,
| Mr.. WE'LL.
He is regarded as a very brilliant
and successful man. and is looked up
to and respected by the best men OF
all parties. He has never heretofore
run for office. but he is a forcible and
magnetic speaker. and can be depend
ed upon to make a vigorous and inter
esting He is held in such
high esteem among bankers and bust
ness men generally that he Will un-
doubtedly secure a large measure O
support from outside the ranks OF his
own party.
LAS we regard It as a matter OF SUI
preme importance that men K MI
WE'LL shall be sent to Albany, we shall
make no apology for urging business
men to work and vote Tor him. IheI'
are not many candidates Of whom !
can be satd that they r more eert2h
Of election than Mr.. Weill."

ATLANTA COnstitutiOn.)

DR.. George H. Stone, the we'll known
yellow fever expert who was stationed
in Atlanta at the beginning of the out
break of fever on the gulf coast by the
city of Savannah to watch the situa-
ton here, returned to Savannah yes
terday.
The departure of DR.. Stone demon
strates more clearly than anything else
the fact that if there was ever any
danger Of fever in Atlanta that danger
has now disappeared. 1t is evident of
the fact that Savannah is no longer ap-
p~rehensive of the fever
When fever was first discovered in
the city of Mobile DR.. Stone was sent
there by Savannah to investigate the
disease and see if it was original yell
low jack. From Mobile he came to At
lanta, and has remained here ever
since.
On MI. Stones arrival in Atlanta
the story went the rounds that Savan-
nah had ~quarantined against him on
account of the fact that he had been
exposed to the fever, and would not
| allow him to return until he had been
here ten days. But when the ten days
| were up and DIR. Stone did not return,
| the story was exploded. and then the
| joke was told on the doctor that the
| health officers of Savannah had refused
| to allow him to enter until after frost.
The real reasons why DR.. Stone re-
| manned in Atlanta, however, are well
| known. Instead of Qu~arantinlng against
| Atlanta, Savannah stationed DR.. Stone
here to keep an eye on the situation
He kept the city posted. and advised
them what to do. When the case of
fever was discovered here there was
much talk of an absolute quarantine
against Atlanta by Savanna. but DR..
Stone apprehended no danger from this
source, and advised that no such step
De taken. His advice was followed.
and passengers presenting he proper
health certificates were allowed to go
from here to Savannah.
The idea has always been that DR..
Stone would remain here until there
was absolutely no possible chance fol
fever to reach Savannah through At
1anta. Now that he has gone. those
who have been on the ookout fol
fever here, and who have ~apprehended
a spread of the disease in Atlanta, car
put aside their fears as absolutely
groundless.
