Graded School Opens Tuesday,

The fall term of the graded
school will open Tuesday morn
ing at nine o'clock. It was in
tended to have special opening
exercises, but it will not be DOS
sible to do so on account of the
fact that the seats are stacked up
in the auditorium and have not
been arranged. 1t was discover
ed after these chairs were re-
celved that some parts were miss
ing and they have not yet been
supplied. The company from
which the chairs were purchased
has been requested to send a man
at once to place them, and it is
hoped that the auditorium will be
ready for use shortly after
school opens.
The first day of school will be
taken up in assigning to grades
and assigning lessons for the
next day, when work will begin
in earnest. All pupils are re-
quested to bring their report
cards.

Statement from A. w. Mclean
in Regard to the Statement
from the Board of Commission

ers."
t. The Editor of The Robesonian:
My attentionhas been calledto a
circular which some 'hireling" of
the present board Of commission
ers mailed from Lumberton just
on the eve of the primary. This
circulars designated, Statement
from the Board of Commission
ers," and of course was written
and circulated for the purpose of
misleading the Democratic voters
at the last moment, and when it
is too late to correct any false
impressions which may be Great
ed by it.
| do not care to notice in de-
tail the various falsehoods and
scurrilous insinuations contained
in this circular, because it is not
likely that any intelligent man
will be misled thereby.
AS to the charges made against
the editor Of The Robesonian, |
have nothing to say, as he can
no doubt take care of himself.
The only notice that l care to
take of the matter, SO far as |
am personally concerned, is
this: If it was purpose of the
paid hireling of the board,
or any one of those who
paid the hireling and whose
names are signed to the state
ment, to charge me, either ex-
pressly or by insinuation, with
controlling or attempting to con-
troll, the editor of The Robson
ian in the position he has taken
as to ex-Sheriff Mcleod, or his
allies, the commissioners, then he
and they uttered and circulated
a wilful and contemplate false
hood. If l could show my contempt
for the author or authors Of these
charges by using stronger Ian
guage to denounce them, without
approaching the dirty level Of
those who made this statement
/ would promptly do so.

Statement From N. A. Mclean
in Regard to the Statement
From the Board of Commission

in Regard to the Statement
From the Board of Commission
ers."
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
PERM. me, as briefly as possible,
to say that if a certain circular
letter, of date 7th instant, issued
by J. W. Carter, A. R. McEach-
ern, A. L. Bullock and the other
members of the present board of
county commissioners, charges,
or intends to charge that I wrote,
or had anything to do with the
writing, inspiring or publication
of articles recently appearing in
The Robesonian, signed, Demo
crat, " 'Fairplay'' ETC., or that |
have written, or given to the ed
itor of The Robesonian, or have
given or sent to any other per-
son, or procured, or ever asked
any one to sign a communication
written by me, which reflected
on any public official of Robson
county, at any time in my life,
then such charge is wickedly and
scandalously false; but l do not
think | need to say to good citi-
zens Ct my county that it is not
my custom, when | oppose a man,
to do so secretly.
| have openly opposed the NOM
ination of these men, and shall
continue to do so, for reasons
good and sufficient to myself.
They have known for a long time
that I oppose them, and l have
given some of them, at least, in
private conversation, my reasons
for doing so.
AS to the other references by
J. W. Carter and his associates.
which are clearly intended for
me, my connection with the
board of audit and finance, the
alleged desire for political power
etc., they are unwo thy Of no.
tice, as perhaps the entire letter
was.

lieve will be best for both carrier
and patron.
