The Charlotte Observer says
that the report that has been
circulated in some quarters that
the hotel proprietors of Charlotte
will raise their rates during the
Democratic State convention is
without a particle of foundation.
"At the meeting of the State
executive committee, says The
Observer, which sent the con-
vention to this city an authori-
tative schedule of hotel rates
was read by the proprietor of
one of the hotels, for himself
and all the others, and this will
be lived up to faithfully. No
one who contemplates coming to
the convention need be deferred
by any fear of being gouged.
There is no such disposition on
the part of the hotel men and it
would not be tolerated by the
community"
Robson will send a large del
egation to the convention and we
publish The Observers state
ment for the benefit of any who
may have heard some report to
this effect.

MONDAY, JUNE Is, 1908.

The LumbertOn RObesOnian
kindly directs attention to the
case of a beautiful maiden of its
town who says she is lin an at
titude of receptivity toward all
divine chances, who has exclu.
sive use of a delightfully."- cool
piazza, with unlimited time at
her disposal. Which reminds us
of the young lady who stated in
an advertisement that while she
was much too retiring to adver-
tise for a sutton yet if any gentle
man with an eye toward her
should advertise fora prospective
wife she would not refrain from
answering the advertisement. -
Charlotte Observer.
About this same we feel some
what as man might feel if he
should happen to grab a light
ming flash by the tail-We don t
know how to turn loose and hang
ed if we hardly know what to do
with it. There is a strong temp
tation to take it back, but no,
we will not do that. There must
be something doing in the good
old summer time, and the vast
amount of speculation that has
been going on as to who the
young lady can be can't do any
body any harm. Since you who
know the charming young ladies
of this town know that divine
chances come to them whether
they are in an attitude of recep-
tivity or not, you may be like the
man who looked steadily at the
first giraffe he ever saw for
about five minutes and turned
away with the contemptuous re-
mark, HI, there amt no
such ANIMAL" Maybe you say
there amt no such girl in Lum-
berton. Well, to speak quite
Irish, you know, one guess is as
good as another, and far bet
ter.

To the Editor of The RobesOnian.
The women of the State desire
to express their appreciation of
Governor Glenn's faithful and
efficient service in the recent pro-
hibition campaign and have de-
cided to ask every woman in the
State, who will do so, to contrib
ute 10 cents towards raising suf-
ficient funds with which to pur-
chase a testimonial of their graf
itude. | therefore appeal to ev-
cry woman in Robson county
who believes in the cause of pro-
hibitiOn to forward to me at
LumbertOn, the small sum of
ten cents, or more, before June
25th., and l will forward the
same to Nr. R. B. Redwine, of
Monroe, who has been chosen to
receive all funds contributed for
this purpose.
We desire to purchase a silver
service and present it to the
Governor in the name of the
women of North Carolina. All
amounts contributed will be &C.
knowledged through the papers
of the county. l do trust that
every Robson woman will aiG
nObly in the work.

professed a profound admiration.
There were little differences
among Democrats as to the prop
er man to nominate and he want

gentlemen who had just been
elected as the conventions dele
gates to Denver, that he believ-
ed that great majority of the
party favored his candidate; to
use a vulgarism Of speech, that
Mr.. Bryan had the coon and gone

braskan already had the neeessa-

Bryan is not a radical man as
the people will come to know
before the end Of his first term,
for the speaker said he was
confident that the Nebras-

elected to succeed Roosevelt.
Maj. Hale said he knew that Mr..
Bryan would go down in history
as a great conservative force in
the nation; he loved the constitu-

Among the candidates for reg

Blue Springs township, but now
of Red Springs. | imagine him
to be man we'll qualified to fill
this important position. He is
we'll educated, a man Of even
temperament and quiet habits.
Experience has taught US the
necessity of having our best
men in any Office that serves the
interest of the people, men of
integrity and solidity Of charac-
ter that can always be depended
upon to do the right thing at tn
right time and in the right way;
andsuch man | believe Mr.. Pur-
cell to be. The several candidates
for this Office in our county are
all good and reliable men, as far
as | know, but think, everything
else being equal, we should pre-
fer one of the "old guard" the
last of the Mohicans'', and they
are getting fewer every day

for the South in 1876, because

Grandma Forsmann Passes Away.

Grandma Forsmann, who fell
some time ago at the B. Luchte-
field home near Keuterville and
sustained a broken hip. died
from the result of her injuries
Monday morning at about 2
O'Clock. Owing to the lady's
advanced age it was impossible
to set the broken bones and
cause them to knit and she grad
ually weakened until death put
an end to her suffering.
The deceased was the mother
of J. B. Forsmann, of this place,
and Henry Forsmann, of Keuter-
vile, and was 80 years of age
last February. The funeral was
held at Keuterville Wednesday
morning, the remains being in
tered in the Catholic cemetery
at that place. A large crowd of
relatives and friends of the
family attended the last rites.

Bad Steunenberg Fire.

The little town of Steunenberg,
located nine miles north of this
place on the new railroad line,
suffered a severe fire Tuesday
morning in which the Schueller
hotel and Gerding saloon build
ings were destroyed. The fire
started in the back room of the
saloon building about 2::30 o'clock
in the morning and when dis
covered the building was a mass
of flames. The fire spread to the
hotel adjoining and both build
ings were soon reduced to ashes
while the citizens could only
stand and watch the destruction
of their property.
Since the closing of the saloons
on the reservation the building
in which the fire stared has been
used as a pool room and soft
drink establishment. AS no one
was sleeping in the building it is
impossible to determine how the
fire originated.
Both the saloon and hotel
buildings were owned by Ben
Gerding, of Grangeville. The
hotel was being conducted by
John Schueller who managed to
save a few articles of furniture
before the building burned, but
the greater part of his property
was destroyed with the building.
The loss on the buildings and
contents is estimated at about
$1,000. The insurance amounted
to about $4,000.
For a time it was feared that
the fire would spread to the Noel
store across the street but
prompt work saved the building.
Most of the windows in it were
broken, however, by the intense
heat.
The loss from the fire will be
a severe backset to the town,
which was just getting in shape
to enjoy a nice growth.
