A WORD OF EXPLANATION.

We are under the necessity of |
those who submit ar
ticles for publication not to get
impatient if their communications
are not published in the. issue of
the paper Immediately following
the date on which they are hand
ed in. We are crowded every
issue with more communications
than we can handle and it is
necessary to defer publication
until we can find room. The
Robesonian wants to treat all
with absolute fairness and this
t tries to do. We take commune
cations other than news letters
in the order in which thew are
received, and when our capacity
for one issue is exhausted we of
course have to leave over those
received later for the next issue.
In order to insure publication in
Mondays paper it is necessary to
have articles other than news
letters in the hands of the editor
not later than Friday morning;
for Thursdays paper, Tuesday
morning. If they are received
later they will be published il
possible, but it may be that il
will be necessary to hold then

Time was in Lumberton when,
after the shades of evening fell,
when might dropped her sable
curtain down and pinned it with
a star, Tor however the quotation
runs-time was, we say, when,
Of summer evenings, some young
men who are unsteady inclined
would get together and lift up
their voices in song. And they
sang mighty well. Out upon
the evening stiffness would float
strains of that art that hath
charms to sOOthe the savage
breast" with raptures these
young men moved the vocal air
to testify their gift of song; the
old songs you love so we'll would
''fall upon the ear of night,
smoothing the raven adoWn of
darkness till it smiled. j" But
they can't do it any more. This
music failed to charm some
breasts; some breasts were rather
irritated by it, so a complaint was
lodged with Mayor Rowland and
the mayor told the boys to cut
it out, or else to sing down some
body s rain barrel or get in
doors; that the people would not
stand for it.

In a communication which ap-
pears elsewhere in this paper
Mr.. D. P. McEachern, of Red
Springs, we'll says that if the
commissioners and ex-Sheriff Nc
Leod had admitted their faults
when they were pointed out the
people would have been willing
to overlook much. Very true;
but the commissioners and Nc
Leod seen to be stiff-necked
people; they don't seem to have
repented at all, but they ask the
people to vindicate them. ''Vindi-
cate?" Heaven and earth! why
don't they vindicate themselves?
When they do that it will be time
enough for them to ask the
Democratic voters of the county
to Vindicate them.

August 20, 1908.
We do not know just how
much money the present commits
sioners have gotten from the
county, nor are we prepared to
say whether or not they have
gotten more than any commits
sioners ever got before. We do
not consider that it makes
any great difference whether
they have gotten more than any
other commissioners or not; we
are only concerned with whether
or not they have gotten money
that the law does not allow. Fro m
sworn testimony before the board
of audit and finance it appears
that they have. When he was
being examined by that board
County Treasurer M. G. McKen-
zie was asked this question:
How much of the public funds
of Robson county has gone into
the hands of Mr.. J. W. Carter,
chairman of the board of county
commissioners, since you qualifi-
ed as treasurer of the county in
March, 1906, as appears by checks
issued by you, which checks also
appear to have been deposited by
Mr.. Carter in his own name, anC
put to his own account in the
Bank of Maxton". To which Mr..
Mckenzie replied: Since | quail
fed as treasurer in March, 1906
as appears from the origina
che cks issued by me, which
checks were endorsed by Mr.
Carter and deposited to his indi
vidual credit, he seems to have
received, both for himself and a
a member of the firm of J. D
Mclean & Co., within the TIM
stated above, something owe
. So, 3OO."
When Mr.. A. R. McEachern,
member of the board of commits
sioners, was examined by tn
board of audit and finance, h
was confronted with this state
ment: ''Mr. McEachern, l fin
