GEORGIA WILL NEED MORE
CONYICTS.

The demand for state convicts ex
ceeding the supply leads US to the
idea that next year viii be mighty
good time to enforce the laws more
rigidly and fill up the gangs for pub
lie service
Various counties are anxious fol
much larger gangs of felony and mis-
demeanor convicts. They are intent
on putting their highways in good
condition. This is spirit that
should not be allowed to lag by rea-
son of an insufficient number OF
prisoners. The demand should create
the supply. Let us have more con
yicts working on the roa1s for the
benefit of the public.
1t ought not to be difficult to get
them. Take the pistol toters, for
instance. There is a yeritabIe army
Of them who could well be doing time
and assisting in the creation of a
great system Of fine roads from one
end of the state to the other Then
there are also the blind tiger keep
ers. No doubt several hundred of
them could be run to their lairs and
made of valuable service to the com
munities in which they have piled
their illegal business. And as fol-
the sneak thieves and other small
criminals, if the officers of the Law
become duly vigiIant there should be
no difficulty in filling a number Of
gangs with additions from their
ranks.
But the pistol toters are the lei
lows we are particularly anxious to
see working and sweating out on the
highways. They have murder in their
hearts and a few months breaking
rocks, or digging bitches, or leveling
highways, may drive the staying in
stinct out of their brains and con
vert them into law abiding citizens.
By all means let the officers become
more diligent. Let US have more
workers for the improvement Of the
highways and let them come from the
class who are ready TO yank a pistol
out of the hip pocket on the slightest

an effort to secure a denomination.
This time, though, 'there is appar-
emily no pressing engagement" to
prevent his attendance and Georgia
will doubtless be represented at the
second convention That Gov. Smith
VIII worthily represent the South's
greatest state, that his voice will be
effectively heard in whatever argu-
ments engross the attention of the
governors, and that he will leave
some impress upon the proceedings,
goes without saying.
We are not Hoke Smith folks, but
there is no discounting the fact that
the governor will shine In a conven-
ton of this character and that Geor-
gia will be to the front in all of its
deliberations.

GEORGIA WILL BE THERE THIS
TIME.

There is to be a second meeting
of the governors OF the various
states at Washington on December 1.
to further consider the conservation
Of the national resources.
The previous meeting of the gov
errors attracted the attention of the
entire nation as much as any Incl
dent of the entire seven years OF
Roosevelt's administration.
From all parties and every section
came congratulations to the Presi-
dent on the wisdom OF the idea of an
nual, or even more frequent, meet
ings of the governors, for purposes
of conference and joint recommends
tions on matters that were Of general
Importance and national in their
scope.
Georgia was not represented at the
first meeting. Gov. Hoke Smith
had pressing engagement at home.
Little Joe" Brown had him making
whirlwind canvass OF the state in

Mr.. A. E. White Endorsed for
the Senate.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
A rumor has gained currency
in these parts that Mr.. A. E.
White, of Lumberton, is a prob
able candidate for State Senator.
We hope the report is true.
North Carolinians honor the man
who honors himself. Mr.. White
is a man of very strong personal
ity. Beginning life in a very
humble way in this county, he
has by sound judgment and I'M
firing energy, forged himself
ahead Of most men, and is now
recognized as a man of honor
and of wealth. His mind is well
stored with practical knowledge,
such as fits one for a useful rep,
resentative Of the people. Nc
man in the county would accom-.
plish more for it's good than Mr.
White as Senator.

Illuminated dial which will tell the
time Of night in letters Of fam

miles and miles around. High
above the surrounding trees and

this illuminated dial will shine
forth on a naughty world and
tell to mankind each passing
hour, showing what's o'clock just
as cheerfully and brightly at the
Silly hour of midnight or during
the darkness Of the very small
hours as it will beneath the
glare of the MONDAY sun. II
will be a thing of beauty and {
perpetual joy and pride.
The illuminated dial and hands
will cost the sum Of S130. Halt
of this sum the county will pa!
and that is all the expense thu
county will bear. The town o
Lumberton will bear one-half o
the above mentioned initial cos
and in addition will pay for wiz
