PRIMARY ELECTION FOR TOWN
OFFICERS.

Don't forget that the primary
election for the purpose OF Sc
lecting town officers for the en-
suing year will be held tomor-
row. The polls will remain
open all day.
AS stated in Thursdays Rob
esonian, the following officers
will be named; A mayor to serve
oue year; three commissioners
to serve two years; three mem
bers of the board Of audit and
finance to serve one year; four
graded school commissioners
to serve one year. The tick
cts, as posted by the managers
Of the primary at the Opera
House, will be found elsewhere
in this paper.
We respectfully submit that
the citizens of the town should
show more interest in the re-
suit of this primary than has
been so far manifested. AS is
well known, those named at the
primary will be elected to the
various Offices. The affairs OF
the town are large and varied
and it is to the best interest Of
the town that its best citizens
be named to fill all the posi-
tons. 1t should not be forgot
ten that those who preside
over the business affairs
of the town of Lumberton hav
control of the public bushes
of over 5000 people, an
about 100000 worth Q
property. Besides, the pres
ent indebtedness of the town j
more than $105,00O, and it i
evident that business men wi
will give their time and atter
ton to the work, and who ca
manage the business affairs
the town with economy, a
needed. 1t seems to us that tt
debt of the town is now lars
enough and that it should n
be increased. The taxes of Il
town are high-perhaps high
than they should be.
We do not propose to suggt
names or choose between t
various candidates, but we
urge the voters to attend t
primary and vote for thoseth
think will best serve the intere
of the town, irrespective
their own personal interests
