The Charlotte Observer repro
duces from The Washington Post
an article which shows that Mr..
Bryan ran behind the Democratic
candidates for Governor in "a
States, and in 5 States carried by
Taft Democratic Governors were
elected. In only 6 States did
Bryan run ahead of the Demo-
cratic nominees for Governor and
he received less votes than in
1896 or 1900, Notwithstanding
the increased population. If Mr..
Bryan does not know by this time
that he is about the worst thing
that ever happened to the Dem
ocratic party, what is left of the
party ought to know it beyond
all doubt.

Clarkton Express Suspends
Leaves Bladen With no Paper.

Correspondence OF Ihe RObeSonlan.
Clarkton, Dec. 19-The Clark
ton Express, owned and edited
at this place for the past seven
years by Mr.. A. C. Johnston, has
suspended publication. This
suspension is caused by the un-
usually poor collections during
the past year. The editor has
thought for several weeks that
it would be necessary to stop the
paper, but had hoped to run till
the first of the year anyway. A
bad break in the press just as the
current issue was being complet-
ed caused it to suspend rather
suddenly.
Bladen county has been a
graveyard for newspapers.
Probably a half dozen have been
started in the county, but The
Express is the only one that has
ever lived over two years. The
county will now have no paper
at all.
Mr.. Johnson will very probably
continue in the newspaper bust
ness, but has not yet decided
where he will locate.

AWORD ABOUT CHRISTMAS
AND THE PAPER.

There Will be only one issue OF
The Robesonian next week, next |
Mondays paper being omitted,
in accordance with a time-honor-
ed custom to which all semi
weekly papers cling. Thursdays |
paper will go to press several
hours earlier than usual, in order
to leave the employees Of the pa
per free for a part of Christmas
Eve, and we hope our correspon-
dents viii take due notice and
govern themselves accordingly.
We hope they will bear in mind,
too. that the next paper after
Thursdays will be issued on
Thursday Of next week, so we
hope to receive our usual letters
by Tuesday and Wednesday after
Christmas.
Some one will be in this office
most of the time during the holi-
days, however, and if any of our
subscribers care to drop in and
spend a few minutes by a good
fire and have a receipt written
while they wait they will be
most cordially welcomed. A
statement which is not new
but needs often repetition
is that it takes some of the
needful to run a neWspaper-it is
not possible to run on promises
alone and we hope that those
who are in arrears will re-
member to come across. We are
going to do some rather vigorous
pruning on our mailing list after
the holidays, but we do not want
to cut off a single subscriber wht
shows a willingness to pay. W.
are adding to our list continually
and we do not want to cut off any
who want to stay with us.
The Robesonian has had yer,
good year, and in thanking oul
patrons for their liberal supper
we want to wish them one and al
Merry Christmas and a Happ,
New Year.
1t is the season for quiet, sat
isfying pleasures, the pleasure.
that sink into the soul and leav,

reads this has thought to cele
brate this greatest event in al
time riotously,in ways that bring
unrest and leave a bitter sting
for their own sakes we hope the,
will not. We should all do wei
to remember now as always tina

was run over by a freight train
this morning, and was badly in
Jured. He was brought to Fay

passed, going in the direction of
the school, and they all climbed
on for ride. Roy fell, and in
consequence his leg was crushed
