HAYWOOD TO THE FRONT.

Haywood county leads in many good
things. In the first place it is the ban
ner Democratic county in Western North
Carolina which means that it is full OF
mighty good folks In the second place,
it has climate and mountain scenery
unsurpassed, and it's summer tourist bust
ness is large source of revenue. lts
public schools are good and improving,
ard in other ways it leads.
The last issue of the Waynesville Cou-
rier tells of the cutting and removing
OF one tree that sold for 81 800. 1t was
q curly poplar, measuring seven feet and
eight inches through at the butt and
eighty inches to the first limb. 1t re-
CURED twelve horses to pull out the butt
which was twelve feet long. 1t con

THE fibre is of the beautiful curly va

DID JUDGE ROBINSON SECEDE?

Some of the New York newspapers re-
port that when Judge w. S. OBJ. Robin
son, of Geldsboro. member of the National
Republican Executive Committee, was
about to enter the banquet given by Sem
ator Hanna at the Arlington Hotel on
Saturday night, he discovered that Lyons.
the negro committeeman from the
State of Georgia, was present, and
Immediately retired. We are told that
he had on the wedding garment, spike
and all, but declaring he was "a white
North Carolina gentleman, and l shall Ger
tainly go back one," he wouldn't eat with
the negro.
The Washington Post, on the Other
hand, says that a report was in circu-
lation that Mr.. Robinson had refused to
. eat with Lyons, but, it adds, "this report
WAS authoritatively denied"
The evidence, in the absence of any
deelar ,tion from Judge Robinson, seems
to be that he seeded when he found
Lyons present, but that some Republi-
can politician in Washington, who wishes
to keep the white and black voters in per-
feet harmony. "authoritatively denied
that Judge Robinson withdrew. The New
York World quotes Hanna as saying that

WILL BAILEY NOT INSPIRED.

Curious things sometimes happen in re-
hgous conventions. At the recent Epis-
copal Convention, at Goldsboro, called to
elect a coadjutor bishop to Bishop Wat
son, there was deadlock between the
clergy and the laymen. One of the
preachers insisted that the laymen ought
to select as bishop the man a majority
of the preachers agreed upon, declaring
that it was the will of God. Inasmuch
as the candidate who received a majority
of the clerical vote received just thirteen
votes, one layman said he did not believe
God would express His will through the
unlucky number of thirteen. Therefore
no bishop was elected, owing to the strain
ed relations between the thirteen clergy
men and the laymen.
At the Baptist State Convention in
Charlotte last week, when the brethren
were endorsing the Biblical Recorder, Rev.
Mr. Pace put his foot in it in his excess of
laudation. Here is the incident as re-
corded by the Charlotte Observer:
''It is just as important for our people
to read the acts of 1the twentieth CEN
fury as it is to read the acts of the
apostles two thousand years ago.
''You are mistaken about that inter-
rupted Editor ]. w. Bailey. of The Re
corder.
"That won't do, Brother Pace said a
score of delegates.
''Well l believe it." said Mr.. Pace
BAILEYS EDITORIALS INSPIRED
When Mr. Pace concluded. Mr.. ]. w.
Bailey was recognized and said: Il
don't think Brother Pace meant what we
understood from him. because the Bible
is inspired, while never have 1 possessed
or claimed inspiration
''You may not be inspired, UNEXPECTED
Mr. Pace, "but I believe some of your
editorials are inspired
Mr.. Bailey was too smart to let Mr..
PAGES praise, really sacrilegious though
not so intended. pass without remark, dis
avowing anything like inspiration, but the
good brother insisted that some ''of your
editorials are inspired Rev. II. w.
Battle also spoke and said
Full hearted as is my endorsement of
The Recorder, / want to say that religi-
Gus newspaper must be an evangehstic
force first and above all else. Politics and
such discussions are for other papers and
not our UNCONVENTIONAL organ. l love and
appreciate. The Recorder and l cannot
agree with the tenor of the remarks of
the brother who has just spoken"
At the Methodist Conference at Colds
boro last month there was a remark
somewhat akin to the remark of Mr.. Pace.
In his address on education. DR.. Kilgo
said: IF Paul was an inspired fool, l
can be an uninspired fool"
Now why can't the brethren quit say
ing and doing such absurd things?
