THURSDAY, OCTOBER %, 1902.

We regret that lack Of space
makes it impossible to give a re-
port of the joint debate here last
night between Congressman God
win and Col. A. H. Slocomb, the
Republican candidate for Con-
gress in this district. The de-
bate will be reported fully in
Mondays paper. Nessrs. God
win and Slocomb are pitching
their campaign on a high plane
and they are having a good time.
There is no mud singing, no
bitterness, and their hits at
each other are entirely good
natured and inofensive. Both
made good speeches here and
the debate was thoroughly en-
joyed. Col. Slocomb realizes, of
course, that he is going to be de-
feated by a large majority, but
he is game and he makes such a
speech as one would expect tc
hear from a gentleman of his cul-
ture and education. This is g
Democratic stronghold, and tC
say that Mr.. Goodwin delighted
his audience and left nothing tt
be desired in his speech-except
that the crowd wished he had
had more time-is saying that
he made an excellent speech
They speak at Red Springs to-
day and wind up their campaign
in Robson this evening at Park
ton. Next week they go to Har
nett, Mr.. Godwin's county, ant
they wind up inCumberland coun
ty, Mr.. Slocomb's home.

Correspondence Of The Robesonian.
l am glad to see some prospect
of rain this morning, as it is get
ting very dry in the Fork and
terribly dusty. One of our neigh
bors has just stepped in and says
he is not quite ready for rain yet,
as he would like to get over his
cotton, and there is always a por-
ton of the farmers from one
cause or another who would like
to wait a few days; but the bulk
of the staple has been gathered
in these parts and many of the
fields are looking bleak and bare.
The crop about here is consider
ably shorter than it was last sea-
son and it has, as a general thing,
been rapidly marketed. | was
thinking the other day of the
wondrous changes since fifty
The Robesonian. [volume] (Lumberton, N.C.) 1870-current, 1908-10-22

years ago, when, instead of broad
fields, only little patches OF cot
ton were dotted about among
great areas of waving grain; and
these small plots were crudely
cultivated with such implements
as would astonish the present
generation. The drill pillow made
by the country blacksmith, the
guano and planting seed sown by !
hand and covered with a hollow
wooden beam, requiring two
horses and three hands to per-
form the labor now executed by
only one.
In those days, instead of the
lighter and more convenient
sheets, large, cumbersome ham
per baskets were used to hold
the cotton, and each negro own
ed his or her receptacle of this
kind. These baskets were made
of oak splints and would hold
about 100 pounds, or upwards,
and often the stalwart men car
ried this load upon their heads,
when the cotton was in easy dis
lance of the barn-yard. The old
time slaves had a peculiar art of
carrying burdens so steadily IN
this manner that even liquids
were conveyed in safety. 1t was
a matter of profound amazement
to me, when a little girl. | was
wont to follow Nanny" Carrie
to the cow-pen, often a distance
of a fourth mile, to see her milk
the foamy fluid from several
cows into a large wooden pail,
then raising it carefully, full
almost to the brim, she would
place it upon her bare head and
carry it home, never spilling a
drop. To the day of her death,
! when she had passed her four
score years, her carriage was
erect and straight as an Indian.
No local news of interest is
transporting around here these
days. We have had some cases
of throat affection among the
children which resembles diph-
liberia, but is of a much milder
form, as yet not requiring medi-
cal attendance. When our own
children were small this dread
disease made its first appearance
in thi scountry. 1t was of very
malignant type and many chill
dren fell victions to it, but our
physicians are now more able to
cope with it, as they have be-
come acquainted with the disease.
A good preventive is to keep the
blood purified. Four of our little
ones had it and the first ease
came near proving fatal, but the
attending physician Immediately
put the others on tincture of iroI
and bromide lof potassium, anC
they Jared much better. Sui
phur, too, is an excellent fortifi
cation against it.
