Correspondence Of The Msssenger.)
Lumber.on. ". c., Sept. 10.
Robson superior court is in session
here this week, mis- honor. Judge Oliver
A Allen, presiding. II is a two weeks
civil term.
The Hon. Daniel Hugh Mclean spoke
here today, and his speech was well re-
ceived by those who heard him He is
one OF North Carolina's splendid ora
tors and he never fails to stir his
hearers.
There is a rel being distributed
in this county headed: ITO the free
and independent citizens of Robson
county 1t says
There will BE- a mass-m5gdng at

holding set. who have. through the

chinery OF the democratic party OF
county, and propose to con-
unue themselves in Office. regardless of
h wishes of the masses OF voters of
Robson county.
IF you are a lover of free and indie
pendent vote, aid opposed to cut and
dried ring rule politics, n packed pri-
maries, meet with US. We helped TO
disfranchise the negro, but do not pur-
pose TO be disfranchised ourselves.
Now, fellow citizens, is your time
TO lake your choice between a free and
independent people or a ring rule office

at Pembroke, Thursday, September

Mr.. McRee's death here early yester-
day morning was a great shock to the
people of Lumberton who knew him.
All who knew him LIKED him and he
had many strong friends here.
1t may not be known to many people
that Robson is the largest county in
North Carolina-1,0 40 square miles
making it more than eleven times the
size of New Hanover, which has only
90 square miles, and is the smallest
county in the state. Robson is not
only the largest county il the state,
but stands away up towards the head
of the list in population. live stock and
farm products. IL also has the distilc-
ton of containing that peculiar race of
people known as the "Croatan In
dians," whose origin is a mystery. but
believed by some to be descendants.

no one knows what was their fate, and
they are known in history as THE Lost

prominently in the civil and criminal
courts of the county and take consid-
cradle interest IN local politics. The
law does not class them with negroes,
and the Jim Cow" a law does not
apply to them. They ride with the

large numbers, as a rule, both men

United states MnrshaIs Make I'm
pOrtant Raids in New York.

New York. September 10.-A force OF
United States deputy marshalS. under
the direction Of Special Treasury Agent
Charles H. Seawell. Of Chicago, made
raids To-Day o four snuff manufac-
tories Oh the east side. They took
seven prisoners and seized the plants,
including about 100, 900 pounds Of snuff
in progress OF manufacture. The value
Of the plants is estimated 1t s25, 900.
The captured men were arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner Hitch
cock and Monday next was set for the
hearing.
Mr.. Seawell asserts that he expects
&c prove that there has been in exist
ence for twenty ear in the heart Of
New York city a regular organization
for illegal sale Of unstamped snuff and
that there were regular channels
through which thousands OF pounds of
the snuff was disposed CT so a. to de-
fraud he government of fully = quarter

whites, and so lay the foundation of n
new and more enlightened dispensation.
I'VE have seen and heard many pro-
tests against this hypothesis, though
they have, in almost every instance,
emanated from representatives and
beneficiaries of the old southern demo-
cratic machine. Those protests, how
ever, have not disturbed our convictions
in the very least, and for a very good
and obvious reason-interested parties
are seldom acceptable or convincing
witnesses in any case. The fact re-
mains as we have stated it, and as every
well-informed southerner knows; men
of property, intelligence, independence,
and responsibility all over the south are
longing for a regime under which they
will be free to consult their material
interests n obey their Intellectual
promptings without fear of su%rrendering
their civilization to the rule of vice n
barbarism. To the a~sSeverationS of
certain southern democrats in congress
and these are becoming scarcer n
more hysterical as time goes on-any
student of the question can oppose the
utterances of southern newspapers, edit
ed by gentlemen who are not profess
sional office-holders and who prefer the
prosperity of their communities to the
place and employment of a small and
greedy oligarchy."

ROOSEVELT At CHATTANOOGA.

Monday was a big day fer The presi-
dent among the laboring IEcn Of the
country. Through the associa ton of
locomotive firemen he gave his adhesion
to b principles of organized labor in
this country and became a member of
that great body. Elected ar honorary
member Of the Brotherhood OF Locomo-
tive Firemen, he now stand in" with
union labor and las declared himself
one of them. Mr.. RooscveIt's trip to the
south was not for nothing and will not
be without good results to him as a
presidential candidate. If Mark Hanna
intends to keep up with the pace Mr..
Roosevelt has set him On this southern
tour he had better hurry up and do
something for the striking miners OF
central Pennsylvania. His civic feder-
alton for settling disputes betwsen labor
and capital counts for very little against
the position of honorary member of the
Brotherhood of Locolntive Firemen.
Mr.. Roosevelt is clear ahead i'm the race
at present and unless Mr.. Hanna picks
up on the home stretch in the way of
settling that strike 10 the satisfaction
Of both parties he will be distanced by
the man chucking coal into the locomo-
tive furnace And Mr.. Roosevelt is not
a bit too proud to pull off his Goa and
show the people that he is not above,
should occasion arise, being an active
fireman on a locomotive as we'll as an
honorary member Of the national asso-
citation. He would as lief enter the
White house with a coal shovel II his
hands and in his shirt sleeves as dressed
in a spike tailed coat and white cravat.
Mr.. Roosevelt has entered the cam
paign in earnest and he means business.
and all who oppose him had better look
to their printing and see that their
forces are in order for attacking strong
Qualifications.
