not made the definite statement

Whether he does or not, we
hope and believe that Senator
Overman will be returned. In
deed, if he should fail of re-

to saying that we folks in North

MONDAY, MARCH 9 TO- 8

The appalling horror at Col
linwood, Il suburb Of Cleve-
land, Ohio; last week, when ia
children We're penned up in Il
building and burned to death, is
too piLiful to he read about
with dry eyes. Grown men
and women lose control of
themselves and stamped when
in Il burning building, and it is
small wonder that these children
were roasted alive under The
circumstances. Locked doors
and inward swinging doors
seem to have been the cause of
this fearful loss of life and this
dear lesson will do good in stir,
ring other cites to that eternal
vigilance which is the prise of
safety. The men who have
had in charge the building of
the elegant new graded school
building in Lumberton have
wisely provided. against any
such possible disaster. Wher-
ever possible the doors swing
outward, and it would be prac-
tically impossible for such a
thing to occur as occurred at
COlfinwood.

Correspondence of The Rob%soa'a".
Mr.. Richard Baxter Contin-
ues sick, We are sorry to have to
report. 80.
Since our last items were
penEtd there has been some
bridge repairing dune, but il
ST ems that the rotting Of the ma
terial of which our bridges are
made is keeping pace with the
road workers, and there are
holes i'll other bridges that rem
der travel risky, We notice
with pleasure that there have
b5en some of the ruts filled in
with dirt. and although it is
somewhat soft yet, a few sun.
shiny 'tays will do lot of
good. T. This is the time of
Year to put the roads in good
repair. We think.
the farmers are all busy
now getting ready for another
crop, and from the amount of
fertilizers being hauled We
hope there will be FL large crop
produced. We agree with Mr..
Barker that the other profe~.
sions and occupations will be
benefited by the improvement
Of the condition of the farmer
and the advance of the price of
cotton, and other produce. If
the farmer is prosperous the
other ':;allings are benefited
thereby, and if he is in adver-
sity1other industries will be #
fected BY his condition.
Since we wrote last Mr.. Alex.
Mcmillan has sold his resi-
dence here to Miss NJ. J. Como
ly and has moved to Moore
county to engage in farming.
He will be missed. Miss Con-
oily has moved into her house
and is now a resident Of our
village.
We are sorry to note that
alany Of the farmers are not as
careful not to obstruct the
roads as We would wish
Miss Sarah Conoly is criti-
cally i'll at the home of her
father, Mr.. Hiram Conoly, near
Gold Hill.
We think it would be good
.th'ng1,ior all the county papers
to publish the part of the road
law relating to blowing up the
roads and obstructing them bv
putting wood and other OBJ
.tructions, as too many seem
either to not know of the law
or not to observe its require
ments.

shift public opinion to more
wholesome basis ir t G simple art
of attending to its own business.
That the Southern States are
expecting to turn the coming
season to good account is shown
from the way they are starting
out. For the past several weeks
Southern mills have been taking
much more freely of cotton sold
by farmers than formerly. They
are paying better prices in many.
cases than the traders are paying
at the ports. The planters
agents are out ahead of time to
bring back the laborer and his
helpers to the cabin on the big
plantations. With the lumber
mills half shut down, the rail-
roads laying off hands, and con.
structiOD work much more re
stricted, the planter is going to
have much greater supply of
labor than at any time within the
last half dozen years. This will
probably result in charging the
acreage of cotton and other
kinds of products.
From present prospects, there
fore, Southern agriculture has "a
greater opportunity than ever
before it. Nevertheless it is still
calling for people, and in this call
