ELECTION RETURNS.

Old Board of Commission ers
Nominated-D. P. Shaw for
Ser,ate, T. N. Higley, Register
Nomination of w. J. Nc
Leod and M. Shepherd Practi-
cally Certain.
At $50 o'clock tonight the re-
turns from the county election
indicate the following results:s
The present board Of commits
sioners-J. W. Carter, A. R. Nc
Eachern, A. L. Bullock, C. A.
Oliver, and D. S. Alderman-are
nominated by some 400 majority;
D. P. Shaw leads for the Senate
by about $50 votes; T. N. Higley
gets the nOminatiOn for register
Of deeds by a safe majority; and
it is thought that M. Shepherd
and w. J. Mcleod have received
the nomination for the House.
! Of course Sheriff Mcneil and
Treasurer Mckenzie, who had no
opposition, are nominated,
Official returns will not be re-
eaived until some time tomorrow,
but they will not materially
change the results given above.
This includes returns from all
the voting precincts except
Thompson's No. l, from which
no returns have so far been re-
ceived. 1t is thought that a sec
ond primary will not be neces-
sary, though the results as tt
the candidates for the House OF
Representatives is not certain as
yet. AS stated above, it is
thought that M. Shepherd anC
w. J. Mcleod have received
enough votes to make a SECOND
primary unnecessary.
Returns from Thompson's No
l, will change in some respects
the above figures, but will no
effect the result. The total VOTE
cast exceeds 1000, which is ;
larger vote than was expected

hours of regular class work
every day, except on Friday,
when the societies held their
sessions the last hour. Exper-
fence and thorough investiga-
ton have shown that pupils can
be taught more in a fve-hour
continuous session than under
the two-sessions-a-day plan. The
amount Of knowledge gained is
not conditioned on the number
of hours spent in the school
room. They can take in only 80
much every day and you cannot
cram in more. However, the
teachers are willing to hold the
pupils in Imprisonment in the
school rooms all day if necessary;
but it doesn't seem fair that
they should play the part OF
nurse, and prolong the schoo
hours because some folks want
their children in school to keep
them off the streets.
The Lumberton graded schools
are in good condition. They are
are conducted as economically
as like schools can be conducted,
and it is everyone's duty to sup
port the schools.
In other articles will make
some comparisons and some
explanations about taxes anC
schools, and hope to show
conclusively that the good people
of Lumberton could make M
greater mistake than to reduce
their school term to five months
or less.

To Use Cotton Bags.

The follwing resolutions were
adopted at the 18th annual con-
vention of the Southern Whole
sale Grocers' Association recent
ly held in Asheville:
eve, your committee on cotton
bags, recognizing the importance
to the Southern merchants of a
fair and equitable price for cot
ton to our farmers, which effects
all lines of trade and professions
of our people, and desiring that
as much as possible of the raw
cotton grown in the South be
manufactured in our country to
maintain the price, and realizing
that cotton sack can be reused
for many purposes, recommend
that the Southern Wholesale Gro
GERS give preference. to goods
packed in cotton and cotton sacks;
and that we ask the manufacture
ers, packers and dealers using
jute and burlap and other cover
ing, to use cotton whenever pos.
sible.
1--WE recommend that a copy
be sent to each manufacturer
listed with us, and that the vari.
Gus flour, grits and rice mills
sugar and salt manufacturers be
also informed. We recommend
that the National Wholesale Gro
: GERS Association be asked to CO
operate with us to get the whole
sale grpcers in their territory tt
further the use of cotton bags
; arr covering.

Of course we do not want to
prOlong discussion of matters
which concern today's primaries.
but we will refer very briefly
to statement or two made in
The Scottish Chief this week.
The Chief comes out ahead of
time in order to give the first
attempt at explanations that
has been made to the charges
against the commissioners. The
weight Of what The Chief has to
say may be judged by this: 1t
says that The RobesOnian 'has
taken as testimony of over
charges hearsay evidence" re-
ferring to the evidence of Mr..
w. J. Prevatt. One week age
we published sworn statements
from two men-W.J j. Prevatt and
w. d. McIntyre-to support the
direct testimony of Mr.. Pre-.
watt given in a previous issue.
The Chief should have known
this when it referred to this
testimony as hearsay. We have
already disposed of the flimsy
charge about the contract fol-
publishing the report of the roaC
supervisors. The contract wa.
awarded to this paper over Mr.
Whites vote, and he could no
take a club and compel tn,
other members of the board t,
give it to The Chief.

A PERSONAL WORD.

In a circular letter of the 7th
inst. issued by the county COM
missiOners, the names of all the
commissioners being attached to
the letter, certain statements
were made in rega I'd to The Rob
esonian and its editor. | desire
to state as emphatically as posi-
BILE that every statement in that
circular in regard to me and the
editorial policy of this paper is a
base, contemplate and Infamous
falsehood. There is not a shred
of truth, nor shadow like to truth,
in any statement made in that
circular in regard to me or this
paper. The statement is made
that the editorial policy of the
paper is absolutely controlled by
others than the editor. That is
a lie out of the whole cloth. 1t
has never been true since | have
been editor, as can easily prove.
The other re ferences to me are
equally false.
Every man whose name is
signed to that circular letter
could have obtained at any
time, and can obtain now, the
names of the writer's of every ar
ticle hat has appeared in this pa
per in regard to them and their
conduct in o flee. The men who
wrote them merely requested
that their names be withheld
from publication but they assum-
ed all responsibility, of course,
and have been at perfect liber-
ty to give the names of the
writers to any man whose inter-
it was to know. These articles
have been simply and safely at
lacks upon the public record OF
these men as disclosed by the
report of the board of audit and
finance. The board of audit anC
finance is a sworn body whose
report is certainly as worthy Of
credence as is any statement
made by the board of commits
sioners. The columns of this pa
per have been as open to the com
missioners and their friends a.
to others.
1t is not worth while to take
up every charge in detail. In di
recting the editorial policy of thu
paper | have used the facts as
have seen them and | have n,
apology to make to anv man 0
set of men. And l repeat tina
every statement made in tn
aforementioned circular lette
that refers to me or this paper
a base and Infamous falsehood

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found a communication from SUI
perintendent Sentelle in regard
to the proposed increase in tax to
meet the running expenses of the
graded schools. We hope that
every citizen of the town will
give careful consideration to
Prof. Sentelle's article. He states
and very effectively answers the
objections that have been raised
by some who oppose the tax.
There does not appear to be much
force in the objections raised.
Take the matter of salaries, for
instance. Surely no man serious
ly raises the objection that the
salaries are too high. 1t would
be more fitting to return thanks
for that it is possible to secure
the services Of competent teach
ers at so low a figure and to pray
for the dawning of the day wher
the pay of teachers will be more
nearly commensurate with the
dignity and importance of theil
work. If you wanted to employ
a dog trainer, for instance, you
would have to pay him a grear
deal more for his services.
We agree with Prof. Sentellt
that the people of Lumbertor
could make no greater mistake
than to reduce their school term

Judge Joseph S. Adams.

Charlotte Observer.
Mr.. J. S. Adams, of Asheville,
is to have the Democratic nomi-
nation for judge of the fifteenth
district, to succeed the late Judge
Fred Moore, to which place Gov
ernor Glenn appointed Mr.. J. D.
Murphy a few days after Judge
Moore's death. The case is not
without precedent. The latest
that we recall is that of the ap-
pointment by Governor Aycock
Of Lieutenant Governor Winston
and the convention setting him
aside in favor of Judge PEBBLES.
The action of the primaries in the
counties Of Buncombe and Madi-
son is not necessarily a reflection
upon either the Governor or Mr..
Murphy, but simply an express
sion of choice as between two
gentlemen, both of them worthy.
Mr.. Adams will administer the
judicial Office with ability and
fairness. He has been at the bar
many years and long ago won his
spurs. AS solicitor of the States

ed before moving to Asheville
about twenty years ago, he earn
