Charlotte Observer.
Judge w. s. OBJ. Robinson, of
Goldsboro, was visitor in the city
yesterday. He is now an ex.judge,
having been politically retired from
his judicial Office the first of this
year. But his honors are SO fresh
upon him that for awhile he must
be plain judge, unbelittled by sign

Yes, he must continue just "Judge

no more dignity than a school boy.
He was the only judge who could
say-as he often said-at the end of a
case, ave won," and yet failed TO
be rewarded with contumely or dis
grace. For this judge was a man
| with leaning for the under dog, and
the world knew this. Nobody will
remember if he knew law, but till
he dies and after he will be marked
as man who loved fair play and SO
far forgot his judicial dignity as to
weep at the recital of a woman 6

| He cared for equity, not sophistry;
and-because he was big hearted
Irishman who was gruff in indigna-
ton, or feminine in softness and
honest withal-his search for the

He was as unrestrained as the air II

fearless of results, he wore his ermin
askew, but his heart was straigh
and strong.
And he always reached out hi

To Promise Minnie Cox Protection
Is to Admit That She Is
In Danger, Says the
Authorities of that
Town.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
McLaurin, of Mississippi, to-day urg-
ed Postmaster General Payne to
have the mails for Indianola sent to
Heathmann, instead of Greenville,
pending the re-opening of the In
dianola Office. Heatmann is four
miles from Indianola, while Green
vile is thirty miles distant. Mr..
Payne stated that if the postoffice at
Heatmann was able to handle the
additional mail the change would be
made. Later the department found
it impracticable to forward the Ind
ianola mail to Heathmann instead
of Greenville. The daily receipts Of
Heathmann now average a little
over thirty-one cents and the Office
is declared to be inadequate to take
care of a business that involved sew
eral thousand dollars additional rev.
enue. The Indianola citizens, there
fore, will have to send to Greenville
for their mail.
Senator McLaurin says there is no
on the part of the peace
authorities of Indianola to give as
surances in an official way that the
Postmaster, Minnie Cox, will be
protected in her personal safety, be-
cause he says there has been no init
nation That she was in the least dam
ger The giving of such assurances
ssss are demanded by the Postoffice
Department would be an admission,
in the opinion of the officials and
people of Indianola, that some dan
ger threatened Postmaster Cox. They
do not admit anything of the kind.
Senator McLaurin pointed out that
Sheriff A. G. Cox, of Indianola, in a
published letter, had stated that all
officials and citizens, white or black,
would be fully protected. He saw
no reason, however, for proclaiming
officially that he proposed to do his
duty.
Reiteration of Postmaster General
Payne's statement that the Office at
Indianola would not be re-opened
until such assurances were given is
made to-day.
