Many who read the report of
the proceedings of the meeting
of the county commissioners held
on the first Monday in this
month, published in The Rob-
esonian last Thursday, perhaps
wondered why, in the name of
all the gods at once, if it was
not a TRANSACTION they felt would
be justly criticised, they waited
until the meeting held on the
day before the election to order
the payment of $138.2O to the
firm of Mcintyre, Lawrence &
Proctor for fee and expenses in
the suit of the Southern Audit
Co. against Treasurer Mckenzie.
But perhaps you did not wonder,
after all. Treasurer Mckenzie
says that when he agreed to re-
sist payment of that order of the
board of audit and finance he
was given to understand that
the county would not have to
pay the costs, and when The
Robesonian brought this out one
of the commissioners, at least,
gave it to understand that Mr..
Mckenzie had not been ordered
by the commissioners to pay.
Well, on the day before the
election such an order was pass
ed, and we presume the commits
sioners will not now disclaim re-
sponsibility for saddling that
wholly unnecessary expense on
the county.

One of the most interesting
articles we have had the privilege
of publishing in some time will
be found on the first page of this
paper. 1t is in regard to Robe
son county's first census and
while it is of general interest it
will be found of especial interest
to Robesonians. The writer, Mr..
z. T. Fillmore, is a native of
this county and is known to many
of it's older residents. He went
toTexas in early manhood, achiev-
ed success there and IS one of
the leading lawyers of Austin.
We call attention to Mr.. Full
more's article here in the hope
that none of our readers will
pass it by.

Hereafter if a man is caught
at still he is ct" whether he
claims to be just a passing by or
not. Judge Boyd, of the FEEDER
al Court, made an important rul-
ing Saturday at Asheville in
which he held that the presence of
a person at an illicit distillery is
prima facie evidence of the guilt
of the person; that such person
is really aiding and abetting in
the operation of the still, In
the future if one is caught at a
still when the revenue officers
make a raid it will not go with
Judge Boyd to say that one
was just passing by and just
stopped a minute. Which would
be somewhat hard lines if a man
should happen to get caught who
really did happen to be just
curious, careless wanderer.

A rather peculiar and interest
ing situation has arisen out of
the election of a representative
from the new county of Lee. The
State constitution limits the
membership of the House of Rep
resentatives to 120, whereas 121
were elected this year. The mat
ter will be decided by the Cen
eral Assembly when it meets in
January.

There may be some good rea-
son why the county commission
ers pay a man $500 month to
see that the company to which
the contract was given to build
the court house do not put up a
snide job on them, especially
now when the work is being al
loved to drag its slow way along,
but many people do not see it.
The commissioners are employed
by the county to look after it's
affairs and they are all success
full business men. Would any
one of them give a contract to
a company to build a house and
then employ a man at a salary
OF 500 a month to simply see
that the work is done properlys
when the company itself is sup
posed to employ a competent
foreman to oversee the work?
If none of them would do that
in his own business is there any
reason why they should COL
lectively do that for the county,
especially now, when the work
is dragging along, with only a
few men on the job? We do not
wish to criticise the commits
sioners unjustly, but some peo-
pie are complaining about this
seemingly useless expense.

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 12. 1908,

There abides the comforting
hope that much progress will
be made during the term of
court now in session toward
clearing the heavy docket. Rob-
eson has been getting a pretty
sorry deal heretofore in the mat
ter Of criminal terms of court,
which is largely responsible for
the number of cases on the
docket. Provision is made for
five weeks of criminal court
during the year-a twO-weeks'
term in the spring, a one-week's
term in the summer and two
weeks term in the fall-and the
lawyers have been blamed for
that only three weeks of criml-
nal court have actually been held
for several years. But the law
yers have not been to blame, at
least not altogether. 1t has been
the fault of the judges, who
have heretofore invariably left
at the end of the first week. We
are glad to note that Judge
Biggs has signified his intention
of holding court for the full two
weeks. If Judge Neal, who will
preside at the criminal term in
February, will keep the court in
session for two weeks the dock
ct will probably be cleared. In
Cumberland county, for instance,
the terms are divided into five
one-week terms and that coun-
ty gets the full five weeks.
Robson is, as everybody knows,
the largest county in the State,
and for that reason and other
reasons it certainly needs the
full five weeks.

Eek SENATOR CARM ACK
KILLED.
Editor and Former Senator Car
mack Killed in Street Duel.

Editor and Former Senator Car
mack Killed in Street Duel.
Nashville. Tenn. Dispatch, 9th.
Former United States Senator
Edward Ward Carmack, editor
of The Tennessean, was shot and
killed this afternoon in Seventh
avenue, north, in front of the
Polk Flats, by Robin Cooper, a
son of Colonel Duncan C. Cooper.
Mr.. Carmack was going north in
Seventh avenue and Colonel Coop
er and his son were approaching
Seventh avenue in Union street.
Soon after they came in sight of
one another the shooting began.
Robin Cooper, it is said, fired
two shots and Senator Carmack
one. Colonel Duncan Cooper, it
is said, drew a pistol, but did
not shoot.
Senator Carmack fell to the
ground, dying instantly. Robin
Cooper was shot in the right
shoulder but was not severely
hurt.
1t is said that the trouble is
one of the results of the recent
gubernatorial primary, in which
Carmack was defeated. Carmack
had, since he became editor of
The Tennessean, been rather
caustic in adversely criticising
what he called the Democratic
machine and had printed several
editorials about Colonel Cooper.
Within the last few days, it is
said, Colonel Cooper told Car
mack that these editorial criti-
cisms must cease. This morning
another editorial reference to
Colonel Cooper appeared in The
Tennessean, and this is supposed
to have been the immediate cause
of the trouble.

Former Senator Carmack was
a member of Congress from 1897
to 1901 from the tenth con-
gressional district of Tennessee
and he served with distinction in
the United States Senate for six
years, being defeated for re-elec-
ton in the primary a little over
a year ago by former Governor
Robert Taylor. Last spring he
opposed Governor Patterson for
the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination, championing the
cause of Statewide prohibition.
Mr.. Carmack was defeated and
shortly afterwards accepted the
editorship of The Nashville Ten
essean.
The remains of Ex-senator
Carmack were sent Tuesday to
to Columbia, Tenn, where the
funeral took place yesterday.
Robin Cooper, who fired the fatal
shot, is under arrest at a hospital
in Nashville. Col. D. B. Cooper
is in Jail charged with murder.
The Tennesseean, of which Mr..
Carmack was editor, makes the
unqualified charge of murder; it
charges that Mr.. Carmack was
Waylald and assassinated.

INTERESTING FIGHT |
NASH.

Court Will Have to Decide
Whether Register of Deeds
Elect, Who Once Served Term
in Jail, is Eligible to Hold
Office,
Spring Hope Dispatch, 9Th, to Charlotte Observer.
The after election interest here
centres in the fight that is to
take place concerning the man
who is to be register of deeds in
Nash county. J. B. Boddie,
who was postmaster at Nash
vile during Cleveland's admins
tration, was nominated by the
Democrats and endorsed by the
Republicans. It is said here that
Republicans went into the DEM
ocratic primary and helped nom
mate him, and endorsed him
when they held their county
convention. Two days before the
election E. T. Griffin, a Demo-
crat, announced himself as an
Independent candidate. Boddie
received 1886 votes and Griffin
only 1873. AS was noted in this
correspondence some days ago,
Boddie once confessed to irregu-
Iarities while serving as post
master at Nashville and was
sentenced to a term in the peni-
tertiary and served a term in
Jail with Jail bounds. It is now
said that he is not eligible to the
office. Because of this E. T..
Griffin announced his candidacy
at the eleventh hour, and, it is
said, will make a strong pull
for the Office. 1t seems that a
number of eminent lawyers has
said that Boddie is ineligible.
Others say that he can hold the
office. The fight will begin in
earnest when it comes time to
swear in the new officials. The
courts will be asked to decide the
matters.
There is no question that has
come before the people of this
county in years that has created
50 much interest and discussion.
Each and every man has an
opinion to offer. A final adjust
ment of the matter will be
awaited with interest,
