Mr.. K. M. Barnes is From Low
er End and Should be Sent to

er End and Should be Sent to
Senate.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
That was a quick act which
withdrew ex-Sheriff Mcleod as a
candidate for the Senate and put
up Mr.. D. P. Shaw in his place.
1t looks as if there must have
been some understanding which
brought this about. We have
nothing against Mr.. Shaw, par
ticularly, but we think he would
have been in better position to
run if he had announced himself
sooner, and had not taken Sheriff
McLeod's place. Some people
seemed to want Sheriff Mcleod
badly, but why this change?
We think the people of Robson
county ought to support Mr.. K. M.
Barnes for the Senate. Mr.. Barnes
is a young man of liberal educa-
ton and business attainments,
whose moral character is spot
less. In fact, he is the type of
Christian manhood Of Robson
county which deserves anything
! the people of Robson county can
give him. Besides, the town OF
Lumberton had the Senator the
last time, and he a lawyer, too.
Even if the claims of Mr.. Shaw
: and Mr.. Barnes were equal IL
: other respects, it seems to us thar
the lower end of the county
: should have the Senator this time
We all remember the lamenteC
kMr. AL. Shaw, Of the upper end
: who went to the Senate in 1904
= Col. N. A. Mclean went there il
= 1906, and now we think it bu

: of the county from which Mr.
e Barnes comes has not had tn

Reply of D. P. Shaw, Esq, to H.

Mr.. H. L. Edens.

UAI' L. II. LuGIlS,
Pembroke, N. C.
Dear Sir:
Permit me to thank you for
the publication of your letter in
last Mondays Robesonian, for |
really consider you have done me
an unintentional favor. At least,
it affords me the opportunity to
brand as false in a very public
manner certain statements that
have been circulated over the
county with the purpose of caus-
ing people to believe that l am
the candidate of some special fac
ton.
AS stated in my letter, my
candidacy is and will be in favor
of no special interests, and will
be conducted Independently of all
SUCH" and this l desire to repeat
in no uncertain terms. | desire
the people of Robeson county to
know that I am "an independent
candidate" and the personal
wishes of any man or set of men,
who were loyal to my candidacy,
would not interfere in any man.
ner with what | might conceive
to be my conscientious duty, in
the event of any nomination and
election.
The fact that my candidacy
was announced soon after Sher-
iff Mcleod withdrew from the
race is not such a remarkable
coincidence" as to convince q
reasonable, fair-minded man that
] do not possess sufficient honesty
and intelligence to perform my
duty, regardless of the interests
of any special faction.
AS to the statement that Sher
if Mcleod promised to send our
five thousand circular letters by
Saturday night favoring my can.
didacy, if l would come out OF
his side with Marshall Shepherd
for the House, there is absolutely
no foundation for such a false
hood. This is merely a rumor O
some cheap, peanut politician.
From the foregoing your fina
J interrogatory is rendered imper
: tinent, therefore there is no ne
cessity of answering the same.

K. M. BARNES FOR SENA-
TOR.

Some Reasons for Supporting
Him.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Here are some of the reasons
why the people of this section
will support Mr.. K. M. Barnes at
the Democratic primary on Sep
tember tenth:
He is a man who will have the
interest of the entire county at
heart.
He is a man who will repre-
sent US in the Upper House with
ability.
He is a sober, intelligent, Chris
tian gentleman in whom the peo-
pie can place their utmost conf
dence.
He is a man who was put out
by no clique or ring of politicians
He is man who is not out for
glory, favors or pecuniary bene-
fits.
He is a man who feels as if his
services are demanded by the
majority of the Democrats of this
county.
He is a man who knows that
his party needs his services and
he has responded as all true
men should do.
He is a Democrat with a record
which any man can be proud of,
always voting for the nominee of
| his party.
t He is man who has always
put the very best example before

tai savings bank, where it is
guaranteed by the government
at 2per cent, rather than in any
unguaranteed bank at 4 per cent.
Safety is what the people want
and they are going to have it in
one form or another. This ties
up the money of the country into
the hands of the government, and
the guarantee which the govern
ment gives is naturally the taxes
paid by all the people. If depos-
its are guaranteed by the govern
ment or otherwise, either all the
people or the banks must them
selves pay the guarantee premi-
umS.
Again Mr.. Bryan says:
" The refusal of the banks to
permit the passage of a law
granting security to depositors is
responsible for the growth of the
sentiment in favor of the govern
ment savings bank, and the SEN
timent will continue to grow un-
less something is done to satisfy
the demands of the people upon
this subject.
The Republican party pro-
poses the establishment of a pos
talsaving's bank system ;theDem-
ocratic party prefers the guaran-
teed bank, because it is better for
the depositor and better for the
banker-it gives the depositor
the security which he needs and
yet leaves the banking business
in the hands Of the banks. But
the Democratic platform de-
clares for "a postal savings bank
if the guaranteed bank cannot be
secured" and in November more
than 9 per cent. of the voters
will, by their ballots, demand
either the guaranteed bank or
the postal savings bank. Can
the financiers prevent the carry
ing out of this den1and?'
The Republican party has Sc
far been very unfortunate in its
handling of the currency ques-
ton, and appertaining questions,
although Mr.. Charles Fowler, g
Republican, worked out most
satisfactory currency bill. The
Republican party under Mr.
Aldrich defeated it and substi
tuted something which was much
worse than nothing.
} Everybody who ever carries
a bany account and particularly
; every banker ought to read Mr.
Bryan's speech" 3"

the recent depression and preceding

Democrats on the silver question in

the withdrawal of the people

had invariably preceded all panics,
pointing to the retirement Of "shin-

and the characterization of silver at

country's money by the great banks

to have been the cause of the recent
