FIGHT THE DICTATORS.
Time to Down the Men Who
Assume the Right to Dicta e
To Help Turn on the Light.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Having been named by my
friends as a candidate for the
Legislature (Democratic), owing
to the state of my health | am
compelled to decline the honor
my many friends wish to bestoW
upon me. | thank the press of
Robson and of sister counties
for kind things said of me;
thank my friends for their many
expressions of confidence and
regard, both in person and by
mail, and assure them from all
over the county that while mem
Dry lasts will not forget them.
Being born, baptized, raised and
educated a Democrat the princi-
pies of the old party of Demo-
cracy lies nearest my heart. For
nearly half a century l have been
found in the front ranks, bat
Ting for the right. In all pro-
liability this is my last campaign
but | say to you, my countrymen,
| will be found dead in the last
ditch fighting the dictators
against free government. When
| see man that we have sup
ported gladly assuming and ar
rogating to himself the right to
dictate to the Democracy of
Robson county whom they shall
have to fill the offices of our
grand old county; and the
guardians of the peoples rights
joining in this hellish conspiracy
all good men that we have NO
feeling of a personal nature
against-it's time that this Still
hunt for Office should stop and
that Doodle and whiskey shall nc
longer be a balance of power
with the Democrats. Do your
duty and all will be well; Kelley
Barnes will be Senator, E. C.
Mcneil and all the peoples ticket

A THRIVING CITY.
Changes Wrought in Five Years
Grand Old Robeson-Im-
pressions of a Visitor.


To the Editor of The Robesonan.
After having been away from
your town for five years, on Sat-
urday, August 22,I paid it a short
visit and l found not Lumberton
of five years ago, but Lumberton
of today-a thriving little city
with its granolithic sidewalks
and beautiful business houses
which have doubly increased
within the last five years. | also
found so many of the old resi-
dences pulled down, or moved to
other quarters, and such beauti-
full mansions in their places that
it gives the town a new appear
ance. | also find grand old Rob-
eson has not been dead or asleep;
for behold that modern jail and
magnificent court house which
she has built, and which adds so
much to the capitol of the grand
old county of Robeson!
| certainly did appreciate my
visit to my old home town and
enjoyed meeting my many
friends. May your town continue
to prosper and flourish until you
fully realize the fulfllment of
the prophesy of old Hardie Bell.
Nor do we find that the pros
perity of Robson has been con-
fined to the town; for as one ira
wells the public highways he can
but admire the progress which
has been made among the farm
ers of the county. Many new
country homes have been erect
ed, up-to-date farming nipple
ments can be seen about MANY of
the barns, and when you look out
on the broad, fertile fields, you
can see prosperity blooming upon
the face of the earth,
With the very best wishes for
the people of Robson county, and
The Robesonian.

JUDGE FREDERICK MOORE.
Resolutions Upon the Death eff
Judge Frederick Moore, Adopt
ed BY the Robson County Bar
at Meeting Held on August
26fh. 1908.


26th, 1908.
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God
to remove from our midst the Honor
able Frederick Moore, one of the Judges
of the Superior Court of North Carroll
ma; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper that
the Robson county bar, who held Judge
| Moore in such high esteem, should take
some appropriate action upon his death
and record their tribute to his memory:
Therefore, be it resolved by the bar
OF Robson county, that in the death of
Judge Frederick Moore the State of
North Carolina has lost an able, careful,
just, upright and courteous Judge whose
services were of great value to the
State, and whose example was an in
spratlon to others; that his sad death
has removed from the field of effort an
honorable Christian gentleman and dis
tlngulshed citizen and patriot, whose
career gave such promise of even an en-
larged usefulness as the years went bv.
| and who, had he been permitted to live,
would have done much for his State and
country, and that his death is a severe
loss to his State, to the judiciary, to the
bar and to his family.
Resolved, further, that the family of
the deceased judge has our sincere and
deep sympathy in their hour of Attic
ton.
Resolved, further, that the next term
OF the Superior Court of Robson coun
ty, to be held hereafter, be requested
to set aside an appropriate day in order
that public exercises may be held, com
memorative of the life and character of
Judge Moore.
Resolved, further, that these resolu-
tons be spread upon the minute dock
ct OF the Superior Court of Robeson
county and that copy be sent to the
family and also to The Robesonian for
publication.

An Open Letter to Mr.. D. p

Mr.. DIP. Shaw, Lumberton. N G..
Dear Slr:-Your circular letter
announcing your candidacy for
the State Senate and soliciting
my support for the same was
received the 25th inst. Your an
nouncement and Mr.. McLeod's
unexpected withdrawal from the
Senatorial race being simultane-
Gus, formsa coincidenceso striking
as to discredit your statement
made In the open letter which |
and several of my neighbors re-
celved. The disclaimer is this.
MY candidacy is and will be in
1aVor OF no special interests, and
Will be conducted Independently
OF all SUCH" Again, Mr.. Shaw, is
1t not a fact that on the eve of Nc
Leod's withdrawal he told YOU if
you would come out "on our side
with Marshall Shepherd for the
House | will see that five thous-
and tletters are scattered through
the county by Saturday night an
nounclng your candidacy?" Dc
you think, Mr.. Shaw, that l would
be morally fit to teach school if I
should advocate any ones cleo
ton who stands in McLeod's
shoes? "
l think your candidacy in face
OF the above facts is i'll advised.
AS your letter was in the ma
ture OF an open circular l answer
through The Robesonian.

The editors of Everybody's

by great eloquence and fervor.
He leaves one with a feeling that
under cover of the Monroe doc

who has had everything against
him from the start.
The growing menace of the
