In re-electing the present
Mayor and Town Commissioners
for second term the people of
Lumberton have done well. They
have made splendid officers, as a
glance at their record for the past
year will prove, and deserved this
vote of endorsement and appro--
val at the hands of the citizens.
We believe that their work for the
next twelve months will excel
what they have already done.
They are progressive, wide-awake
gentlemen and will be satisfied
with nothing short of an onward
and progressive work. |

STAND BY YOUR TOWN.

The RoBEsoNIAN is a firm be-
lever in standing by home and
patronizing home enterprises in
preference to outside ones. This
is the only way to build up a town
that Will be prosperous and pro-
sgressive. The following from the
Orange, Va, Observer, is most ex-
cellent advice and if carried out
will be a large factor is promoting
home growth and home enter
prises:
To stand by your town means
more than to simply build up
your own individual business in
terests and beautify and improve
your residence. It means begin
at home first, but not. to be un-
compromisingly wrapped up iii
yourself regardless of your fellow
man and all the, surrounding cir
cumstances. 1t means to go to
work and stimulate every legiti-
mate enterprise by giving all the
friendly encouragement you can,
or by uniting your industry, in
'fiuence and capital in the common
cause. Cultivate a public spirit
and help your neighbor, either by
kind words OF a helping hand..i 81
Every industry in THE place, it
makes no difference how small,
should be given careful consider
ton. AS far as .possiblegive these
industries your patronage instead
OF sending off your orders. If you
have a quarrel On hand have man
hood enough to fight it on its
merits and don't bring it into
waterworks, streets, churches,
or anything that tends to-
wards building up and keeping
pace with the times. Speak we'll
OF new and observable prospects
and everything that pertains to
the welfare of your town. Pro-
claim all that is worthy and
quietly endeavor to remedy the
evils. Quitabusing your neighbor
and get yourself straight.
Encourage every one, especially
new men, to come in and settle
among you, particularly those
who are worthy and active,
whether they have capital or not.
Their labor is worth. money, Those
who have the capital should buy
lots build houses or tear down
and remodel old ones. In fact do
all you can to advance the general
for as effect follows cause.
SO certain will every enterprise of
merit repay every citizen. We
cannot live unto ourselves, nor
discourage any movement in be-
half of the place without 1nf1ict-
ing upon ourselves a personal in
jury. ''"--,...- ~: :

was in Raleigh last Friday and
said: 1.-The people in the eastern

ter" By the way does ANYBODY
recall anything, that the people are
with Governor Russell on? He Is

set the members of his own par
ty by the ears and has aliepated
from himself nearly every Repub-

suits nobody, and while he has
brought the Republicans nothing
but disappointment, he has iusti.

said OF him during the campaign,

A town is like a large fom;Iv.

icy means ruin for the whole com
munity. 1t means retrogression
and failure. The first lesson any
family must learn, to be happy

tual assistance. The same applies
to the business life of a town and
the more generally it is obeyed the
more abundant will be the citv,s

We note the shipment by the
steamer Henley at Brunswick, Ga.,
Of $500 bales of cotton and 1,80C
tons of pig iron for Bremen, Ger
many. Pig iron and cotton 60
we'll together. The pig iron gives
proper weight to the cargo, and
doubtless is carried at very low
freight rates. The Southern cot
ton thus helps to extend the ex-
port of Southern iron, and to put
it in European markets at prices
profitable to the home producer
and the foreign consumer. The
export of Southern iron goes on
pace.-Philadelphia Record.

"A rumor is current in Raleigh
that Governor Russell will proba-
bly, call an extra session of the
Legislature for the purpose of rem
edying the defects in the revenue
act, parts. which have been de-
clared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court. It is estimated
that the decision of the Court will
lessen the amount of. taxes this
year $75, 200 and as the Legisla-
ture increased the expenses of the
State and made number of ap-
priations the receipts will not be
sufficient to meet the obligations.
When asked about the rumor Gov
ernor Russell declined to talk.

The class that builds up a
town and country, and enjoys life
and makes the best citizens, are
the enterprising and liberal men
who believe in living and let others
live, i.and who when they get dol
lar don't squeeze it until the1god-
dess of liberty feels as if corset,
laced to the last notch, would feel
more comfortable. Such squeez-
ing Is what causes hard times and
stops the circulation of the Amer
lean eagle. If it were not for our
broadguaged, enterprising men it
would be impossible to build a
prosperous city.-Durham Sun.
