is steaming northward in the
open waters of the Pacific on the last,

long voyage. 1t is expected to pass
Valparaiso about 2 o'clock Friday
afternoon.
Run Establishes Precedent.
The most intricate portions of the
passage through the straits was made
in single file conveyed by the CHILEAN
cruiser Chacabuco. The run was made
in record breaking time, and has es-
tablished a precedent in the history of
naval nautical feats.
Valparaiso has arranged for a mon
ster demonstration as the fleet swings
near to the harbor. While Admiral
Evans has announced his intention of
continuing his course without a halt at
Callao, a fleet of steamers bearing
officers of the Gillian government
and representative citizens will meet
the feet outside the harbor.

SALARY VERSUS COMMITS.
SION.
The System out of Date-Coun-

Salaries.

ty Officers Should be Put on
Salaries.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
ask a little space in YOUR
splendid paper to inquire why
nothing is said by the press or
on the stump in regard to the
salary law passed for Robson
county by the Legislature of
1907 If it is a good law, let US
approve it; if a bad law, let us
defeat it by our ballots. There
are numbers of our people who
have forgotten all about this
law, and to sneak it through, as
1t looks now, is mean. If you
oppose a measure, have the
manhood to say so, is my motto
Some of our county officers are
paid too much, notably the
sheriff, but l am not contendinp
so much for the law because Of
the reduced prices it proposes to
pay, but I do not favor the sys-
tenn
The fee system was Inaugural
ted for quite different conditions
from the present. Taxes have
increased during the last eight
years at least so per cent, or
from $4,000 to $40, 900, 900 and
still we pay the same commission
to collect. No wonder our county
is in debt. 1t is a burning
shame that after agitating the
building of a court house several
years the whole had to be bond
ed-not a peny to put in it. Now
our taxes are almost a burden
Let us begin to reform by ap-
proving this law and other need
full steps and get out of debt.
Yours truly,
T. H. Walters.

that he was shot by a negro
while he was driving a wagon

negro escaped lynching only by
a ruse of the authorities, who
secretly conveyed him to a place
OF safe keeping where he now
awaits trial.
The negro claims that he shotMr.
Caddell by mistake. Mr.. Caddell
says that he was passing house
IN which were a lot of drunken
negroes, when one of them called
out to him, using a name he did
not know. He told the man that
he was mistaken, but he paid no
attention and fired at him, the ball
entering the right leg. He was
brought to the hospital here the
next day and it was found
necessary to amputate the limb
