the Importance of drainage and
good roads. The convention held
here last Monday was we'll at
tended, much interest being
manifested, and like reports come
from other places where similar
conventions have been held. We
hope that our representatives in
the next General Assembly will
investigate fully the plan propos-
ed by Mr.. Wright, the expert
on drainage who addressed the
convention last Monday. He
suggests a State law granting
owners of real estate the priv
eye of issuing bonds for drainage
purposes. Surely no more i'm
portant subject than the one of
drainage can engage the thought
and study of the representatives
from Robson.

Flying Machine Wrecked-One
Killed, Another Injured.
Washington, Dispatch, 18th

Washington, Dispatch, 18th.
After having drawn the atten-
ton of the world to his aeroplane
flights at Fort Meyer, and having
established new world records
for the heavier-than-air flying
machines, Orville Wright today
met with a tragical mishap while
making a two-man flight. The
oeroplanist was accompanied by
Lieutenant Thomas E. Selfridge,
of the Signal Corps of the army.
Lieutenant Selfridge was fatal
ly injured and died at $40 o'clock
tonight. Mr.. Wright was seri-
ously injured, but is expected to
recover.
While the machine was encirc-
ling the drill grounds a propeller
blade snapped off and hitting
some part of the intricate me-
chanism, caused it to overturn in
the air and fall tc the ground, en-
veIoping the two occupants in the
debris.
Soldiers and spectators ran
across the field to where the aero
plane had fallen and assisted in
lifting Mr.. Wright and Lieuten-
ant Selfridge from under the
tangled mass of machinery, rods,
wires and shreds of muslin. Mr..
Wright was conscious and said,
ooh, hurry and lift the motor. :"
Lieutenant Selfridge was uncon-
scious and had apparently struck
the ground with great force.
His head was covered with blood
and he was choking, when the
soldiers extricated him from
under the machine.

One is from the Southern Presby-

to give six months of next year
to an effort to interest the lay
men not only of this Church but
others in the work of home mis-
sions, to the improvement of the
social, educational and religious
condition of our own people. The
other is to lecture a hundred

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER. 21, 1908.

Brief mention is made else
where in this paper of a matter
which Rev. EN-. HOyle, pastor OF
the Methodist church, touched up
on in a sermon a week ago. Ills
true, it's pity, and pity it's, It's
true" as he says, that man can
hardly walk down street with a
friend without being lined up;
cannot speak his own private
thoughts without being classed
as a tool of a faction. Of course
it does not matter much what a
man thinks who is small enough
to think that everybody is Lined
up" with one faction or another,
and it would be only to laugh it
it were not for the pity of it.
Lined up" tool of faction!
God save the mark! 1t would be
sad if a man could not find some
thing bigger to Zine up" with
than a ridiculous little Lumber
ton faction. Those who are
small enough to think that ought
to thank God continually that the
fool-killer is a myth. The Robe
sonian does not care cuss about
either so-called faction, but it
does care about the peace and
prosperity of the town, and petty
little fractional fights do not pro-
mote either. There's plenty of
room for honest differences of
opinion without being lined up"
in factions. Hang both factiOnsl
If everybody would get down to
his or her knitting and forget it
Lumberton would be an entirely
different town. 1T is a consum-
nation devoutly to be wished"
