one of those VINO has been treated
thinks it incumbent upon him to re-
turn the courtesy and he calls for ali
other round Of drinks for the party.
Then, of course, the third member OF
the party and again the fourth, if me
party is so large, feels that he will be
looked upon as oeing stingy if he does
not treat, and SO it goes. Yes, this
custom of treating is the greatest CO.
stacle with which the cause of temper
ance has to contend.

HOLD T:OBESON AND SAVE THE
STATE

Hold Robson and save the state"
The above is generally accepted as
the wording of the famous dispatch
sent, at the time of the election Of del
egates to the proposed constitutional
convention in 1875 by General W. r.
Cox, chairman of the democratic state
executive committee to Hon. W. Fos-
ter French, of Lumberton. This dis
patch created quite a stir throughout
the state. The vote was very close in
Robson. There was great doubt as to
whether the democrats would have a
majority in the convention which was
to amend the constitution adopted by
the carpet bag convention of 1865. All
depended on whether Robson county
sent democrats Or republicans to repre-
sent her. The democrats held Robson
and thus secured a majority of one in
the convention.
We have always heard the dispatch
quoted as given above; but it seems
LlldL i " TIC IOIlCAI lCduIhS. IL -
LAS you love your state hold Robe
SON."
The last issue of The Lumberton
Argus, which is a handsomely Illus
trated industrial issue, contains a fac
smile cut of this famous telegram and
the above are the words of the dis
,nn+nG Tho amt chovv, tho full foDo Of
the Western Union blank with the dis
patch on it. It is dated Raleigh 9,
1875" and is addressed to w. Foster
French, signed "W. r. Cox" and is
naked 81, Paid" The month is not
given in the date, but we believe the
election was held in August.
We did not know until The Argus
published this dispatch that the orig
inal of this famous message was still
inexistence. 1t is a very interesting
document, and bears upen one of the
most important events in the political
history of our state. Had Robson not
been held by the democrats on that
occasion the state would not have been
able to throw off republican rule. The
Candy constitution would have for
many years longer been the burden on
the people it had then been for seven
years, and there is no telling when
the democrats could have thrown off
the negro rule that was then upon
them.
