THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20. 1908.

When the city fathers are con-
sidering what they shall do for
the general good of the town
might they not with propriety
give some attention to this un-
slightly nuisance of hanging goods
out in front of the stores, of ad-
vertisements hanging sometimes
so as to be in the way of passers
along the streets? This is carried
here to an extent that is nothing
short of a nuisance. There are
days when the principal business
street of Lumberton looks for al!
the world like cheap, second
hand-goods-store street in a city.
Consider the effect these things
have upon one. If you are at
all given to introspection, consid-
er the effect upon your own mind
some day when you are walking
along the streets and see a mot
ley assortment of goods hang
ing to the breeze in front of
some stores, goods on the side
walks and hideous signs in fam
ing colors shrieking for atten-
tion-consider the effect on your
own mind, and you've got the
answer. We certainly hope the
city fathers will think on these
things.

Closing Scenes of the County
Campaign-A Clean Cam
pai9n Throughout.

The closing scene of the coun-
ty campaign was witnessed by a
goodly crowd at Buies Monday
and, though the last act it was,
it had its interesting features as
we'll as did the first. The prin-
cipal speeches of the day were
made by Messrs. D. P. Shaw, S.
A. Edmund, M. Shepherd and
w. H. Kinlaw. Mr.. Shaw spoke
first and made a good speech.
Then came Mr.. Edmund, who
spoke for one and a half hours.
This was Mr.. Edmund's first ap-
pearance on the campaign since
he spoke at Back Swamp in the
beginning of the go-round.
Since that time he has been sick
and unable to go out; and though
he was not we'll Monday, he
made a speech that few well
men can beat. Messrs. Shep-
herd and Kinlaw wound the
the thing up, Mr.. KinlaW having
the last go. Both made good
speeches. But that isn't all that
happened. You see, there was
a pretty good crowd out at Buies,
all to hear the political speaking,
you know, witness the happen
ings, etc. Several of the boys
who were unsteady inclined got
together and decided that it
might be we'll to close the exer-
cises with a song-and who would
find fault with that-so they Sc
lected a song commonly used in
the winding up of affairs and
then opened wide their mouths.
Oh, how the music did
flow! But just here is where
things got mixed up. You see,
Mr.. Kinlaw wasn't exactly"
through speaking when the mu-
sic started, and of course the
boys didn't want to stop singing
right in the middle of a verse, sc
that is just the way things
were. Mr.. Kinlaw decided that
his speech and the music were
mot harmonizing, so he moved
off to other parts and finished
up his speech; and the boys sang
all four stanzas.
Sure enough, Monday did wine
up the campaign and there il
hardly any question but that al
the candidates are glad-yes

The organization which has been
formed for the relief of the unfor-
tunate members of the communi-
ty who are in need of help will
doubtless receive the hearty sup
port which it merits. Frequent
calls are made for help and those
who willingly contribute all they
are able are no doubt often i'm
posed upon. Through an organ
lied board proper investigation
will be made of every case and
those who give may feel sure
that their money is being used
where it will do the most good.
We are glad to note that an or
ganization with this worthy pur-
pose has been perfected.

Electricity In The Kitchen.

Electricity In The Kitchen.
Charlotte Chronicle
AS another indication of the
convenience and usefulness of
electricity, The Rock Hill, S. c.,
Record says that Winthrop has
recently installed in the bakery
two most interesting pieces of
machinery-an egg-beater and a
bread-worker, both run by cleo
tricity. The egg-beater will also
whip cream and mix cake batter
most successfully. when it is
understood that from one barrel
to one and half barrels of flour
is made into rolls every day."
says The Record, ''it is easy to
see how useful and necessary
this bread worker is. 1t is the
policy of the college to fit out
each department in the most
effective labor-saving way. These
machines with potato and ap-
pie peeler installed the past sum-
mer make it possible to do more
and better work with fewer SER
wants." Electricity as a power
IS the greatest labor-saving in
stltution yet developed. Almost
every day it manifests it's USE
tulness IN some new way, and
Mr.. Roosevelt's farm life COM
mission is going to find it one of
the most potent of all agencies
toward the development of hap
piness in the farmers home.

Every county is entitled to one
vote in the Democratic State con-
vention for every $50 votes cast
for the Democratic candidate for
Governor. In 1900 Robeson's
vote for Governor Aycock was
400, which gave the county II
votes in the State convention; in
1904 the county's vote for Gov
ernor Glenn was 2, 449, which re-
duced the vote in the State con-
vention to 16. What will be the
vote this year? Robson ought
to have more strength in con-
ventions than it's vote in 1904
gave it. 1t is up to Democrats
to make that strength greater.

REGARDING RIGHTS OF RANCHERS

isfaction to all concerned until
the question of whether or not
the government has the right to
demand that man keep his nat-
tie off the reserves or not is set

The case decided was that of
Thomas Shannon VS.. The United
States, in the United States cir
cult court of appeals for the
ninth circuit. 1t seems that Shan
non, ranchman and cattle own
er of Montana, allowed his cattle
to stray upon the Little Belt
Mountains forest reserve without
a permit. He was ordered sew
eral times to drive his cattle from
the reserve, which he did, but he
would again allow them to drift
back. A temporary injunction
was given the government re-

allowing his cattle, some 900

SOME FINE STOCK.

An agent for the Post who Is
a great lover of good live stock,
this week called at the splendid
ranch of Henry Hasley at Silt
and was surprised to find so
much good stock and such evil
dences of prosperity as were
there exhibited.
Mr.. Hasley has on his farm
number of the sons and daugh-
ters of the great horse Autocrat.
He is also the owper of the grand
old horse Ontop, sired by On
ward, the greatest son of George
Wilkes.
Mr.. Hasley is feeding about 400
head of beeves: one lot he is
corn-feeding, having shipped two
carloads Of corn from Kansas.
He has in this bunch some fine
stuff which he expects to turn in
to the best beef ever yet seen in
Garfield county.
The Glenwood post., 1908-02-15

ernment wished his cattle off the
reserve it was their place to drive
them off. Montana, the same as
most other western states, has
fence law which provides that if
any land holder desires to keep
another's stock from trespassine
on his land he must build and
maintain a lawful fence: other
wise he cannot collect damages
to his land or crops. Shannon
contended that the government
should fence the reserve or patrol
it.
The government contends that
power is delegated the depart
ment to run and regulate lands
set aside for any purpose whatso-
ever in any manner that the de-
partment may see fit. The lower
court upheld the contentious OF
Mr.. Shannon and an appeal was
taken to the United States circuit
court which reversed the decision
of the lower court.
If the decision rendered yester-
day is upheld by the supreme
court it means that the state laws
will have no effect upon the de-
partment ruling regulating forest
reserves. There are several Colo
RADIO cases similar to the case of
Mr.. Shannon. and they have been
waiting until the Shannon case
could be settled. They will now
be pushed. One Of these eases
is against Fred Light of Basalt
Mr. Light is backed by the Colo
RADIO Cattle and Horse Growers
association. 1t is a friendly con-
test to ascertain the powers of the
forest service in this matter. In
Lights ease the question of
whether or not the government
has right to tax the cattle that
run on the reserve will be decid-
ed. Whatever the decisions of
the lower court may be, this case
will be taken to the supreme
court for final settlement.
