MONDAY, MARCH 70 1908
TINE NEARLY up.

The new postal regulation in
regard TO sending papers to sub
scriberS who are in arrears will
go into effect April LIST. As has
already been pointed out, this
law provides that publishers Of
semi-weakly papers shall not
send papers TO subscribers who
are more than nine months in
arrears at the regular rate of
postage allowed newspapers, but
shall put a oDe.cent stamp on
every paper so sent. 1t is clear,
of course, that no publisher can
afford to do that, and it should be
equally clear that this is a matter
in which we have no option.
Many Of our subscribers have
been accustomed to paying at
the end of the year or at any
time during the year that best
suited their convenience, and this
has been perfectly satisfactory
to the paper and would still be
satisfactory were it possible,
which it will not be under the
new law. 1t need not make q
great deal of difference, though,
for it simply means that instead
of not letting your subscription
get more than twelve months in
arrears it will be necessary TO
see that it does not get behind
more than nine months. 1t is an
easy matter to tell from the label
on yor:.paper or on the wrapper
in which the paper comes to you
just how your subscription
stands. The Robesonian is anx-
ious, of course, not to have to cut
off any subscribers on account of
their falling behind more than
nine months, and so we call at
tentiOn to this matter again in
this way and besides we have
mailed, or will mail, to every sub
scriber who is in arrears a state
ment before April 1st. If for
any reason, however, you should
not receive a statement of amount
due, just look at your label, f.
ure the amount you are due, and
remit.
We trust this matter is per
fectly clear. AS we have stated
there are quite number of ouI
subscribers whom we are per
fectly willing to credit until thu
end of the year, but thisnew reg
ulation makes it necessary for u,
to see that no subscriber gets
more than nine months behind
for in that event, no matter how
much we may regret having to d.
80, it will be necessary for US t,
cut that subscriber off until b,
has brought his date up to
point to enable US to send the pa
per without violating the law
Look at your label and remit s
that you will not miss a single is
sue. This is an important politi
cal year: officers are to be electe,
from President and Governo
down; there are rumors of con-
plicaJions that may result in an
other great war in the far East
there will be many matters O
great interest in county affairs
and you want to keep abreast @
what is going on. Subscribe TO
The Robesonian and keep posted
and ifyOu are already a subscrit

port bad been in my hands not
less than five hours, am sure,
and [ think longer than that. l
do not rememb Der the exact time,
but do know that it was handed
to me shortly after the noon
hour of that day. These facts the
board of commissioners could
have obtained from me by simple
inquiry. 1t is also fair to state
that | was informed on the 10Th
or goth of December that the
BOARD of audit and finance de-
sired to publish it's report in the
next issue of The Robesonian,
and knowing that if the report
was handed to me later than
Saturday morning I should have
difficulty in handling same, I
went to Col. N. A. Mclean, at
ft1rney for the board, some time
after.six o'clock Friday evening,
December Goth, and urged upon
him the necessity of my getting
the reportat the earliest possible
moment,if it was to appear in the
next issue of the paper. Col.
Mclean informed me at that
time that the report was then
being prepared, and that it
would not be possible for me to
get the report until the
following morning. On the
morning of the 21stI went to the
office of Col. Mclean at least
twice for the report. and each
time | was informed by the
board of audit and finance and
Col. Mclean that the report
was not ready but that il
would be completed soon. Short

This Year on June 24sh.
Raleigh News ard Observer.
Fifty years ago it was that
Charlotte, "Q1een City" even
then a place of progress and
prosperity entertained the State
Democratic Convention, and the
gathering was a lively one, there
being a hot fight for the numina
ton for Governor with three
candidates in the running AZ
ter half a century it. viii again
entertain the convention, as dc
termined by the State Dmocratic
Executive C0mmitte Last night.
The vigorous contest in that
year for the Democratic nOmina-
ton was between Judge John W.
Ellis, of Salisbury, then Il Supe-
rior Court judge, and w. ". Hol-
dep, editor of the Raleigh Stand
ard, while there was being also
pressed for the place Gen. G. M.
Avery. of Burke. After a hot
fight in the convention Judge
Ellis was nominated, and in the
election he defeated Honorable
Duncan X. NcRaS, of Fayette-
Vile, who ran as an Independent
and who was supported by the
Wing party and by a large num-
Der of Democrats known as Dis
tribution" Democrats who favor
ed the distribution of moneys re-
ceived from the sale of public
/ lands of the United States among
the several States.
, In sending the convention to
Charlotte in 1858 the Democratic
State Committee broke the pre-
cedent Of holding it in Raleigh,
and it was freely charged by the
Holden forces that Charlotte was
selected in order to aid Judge
Ellis, whose home was in Rowan
county, and that Holden. whose
home was in Raleigh, was hurt in
his candidacy by the removal of
the convention to Charlotte.
The convention met in Char
lOtte in the court house On Wed
nesday, the 18th of April, and ii
was on Thursday that the nomi
nations were made. There were
n attendance about5O0 delegates,
the counties not represented be.
