ceives Without Making Mis-
takes.
Electrical World.
The latest device in telegraphy
is telegraphing typewriter. 1t
can be attached to and placed
under any ordinary typewriter.
When so connected it becomes a
complete sending and receiving
instrument, and both sending
and receiving instruments re-
cord the message.
The only experience required
is that of an operator working a
typewriter. The message is
sent in the same manner in which
you would proceed to write a
letter on an ordinary typewriter.
This same message will be re-
ceived on the receiving type
writer exactly as it appears on
the sending one.
In some respects it resembles
the familiar stock ticker anC
other printing telegraph instru
ments, but unlike these it makes
possible the use of capital anC
small letters as in ordinary lettel
writing. The receiving machine
records the message just as writ
ten and gives what corresponds
to a carbon copy made on tn
original machine.
There is said to be no chanc
for mistakes. The machine take
down the message just as sent
There is no human receiver t
make a mistake by faulty, hear
ing or carelessness or neglect
as is the case with the preser
: Morse system of dots and dashe
in use all over the world.

To the Editor of The Robesonian.
It is a well-known fact that the
Democraticpartyin Robson coun-
ty has been dominated and con-
trolled for the past six or eight
years by what is known as the
ring. This ring, haaded by Nc
L.od, McEa her Carter & Com
pany, has ruled with a rod of iron,
and crushed beneath their cruel
heels all who dared oppose them;
and if perchance a Democrat Of
Democrats, one in whom there
was no guile, should so far for
get himself as to even hint at i'm
proper methodsor wrong doingshe
was branded either by these men
0r some of their henchmen as a
Republican and an undesirable
citizen. Remember the fate OF
Messrs. w. A. Graham and
Thomas McBryde. Now, fellow
Democrats, don't you think it
about time, for the people to take
charge and run their own affairs
| for awhile? These men have been
requested time and again to come
out from behind their resolution
and explain at least some of the
many charges made against them
by the board of audit and finance.
In the place of responding t.
these many invitations they say
! in effect: who, Us? You she
; have made a big mistake, we are
not the men to explain anything
we know how to run our business
we have been there before, and i
. is our private opinion that bush
whacking by US and our bench
! men will prove more conducive t.
= our political health. We hav
! had our grip on the purse-string
. of dear old Robson for quite
/ while; this pie is good to US, an
o the only way to get rid of US is t
y vote us out or law US out, and yo
y may have to do both. With a
: due respect for the above-name
9 ringsters, l appeal to the goo

The Negro PIOWman.

From early morn till dewy eve
The plowman's songs the echoes cleave;
Round after round with horse he goes,
Whipping him up to catch the hoes,
With his bare feet in the furrow.
At evening, when the work is done,
Around the fire the children gather
To hear some wild bewitching tale,
Or fight their battles DER again
With ever deepening clatter.
All cares are cast away tonight,
And Troubles sleeping soundly;
Though true, he'll not be nodding longD
His shores are deeply drowned in song
And Brudder Billie's banjer.

How the Statement Was Made
Some Questions for Mr.. Shaw.

When The Robesonian of
August 31st. containing Ar
open letter to Mr.. D. P. Shaw
was first read in Lumberton, ]
was there. Mr.. Shaw came tt
me and said that one question
asked him in this communication
was misleading He also re-
qucsted me to make a public cor
rection. Here is the question
Mr.. Shaw objected to: is ii
not a fact that on the eve of Nc
I4eod's withdrawal he told you
that if you could come out OF
our side with Marshall Shepherd
for the House, | will see that
5000 letters are scattered through
the county by Saturday night
announcing your candidacy? -
merely asked the question as |
understood the facts to be at the
time | wrote this communication.
Since then | have made more
careful inquiry, and find that
viii e the substance Of the ques-
ton might have been correct, i,
ought to have been stated in 9
different manner. | desire to be
perfectly fair to Mr.. Shaw, anC
for that reason | give below the
information upon which the ques
ton was based:
Mr.. Mcleod was urging upor
another gentleman to enter thu
race for the Legislature, ant
when he hisitated, Mr.. Mcleod
said to him in substance, Come
out on our side with Marshal
Shepherd for the House and D
P. Shaw for the Senate and
will see that 5000 letters ar,
scattered through the county b,
Saturday night announcing you
candidacy, and we will cleo
YOU" My first information wa
that the question was directed t
Mr.. Shaw. Upon further in
quiry | find that the questio
was directed to another gentle
man and not to Mr.. Shaw in pei
son. | have this informatio
from what | consider perfect
reliable sources.
| will state further in M
Shaw's behalf that he told m
that he was not even in Lumbe,
ton when his card was put in TT
Robesonian. Now, will ask MI
Shaw the following questions:
Were you not in Lumbe
Bridge, or Fayetteville, at tn
time Mcleod decided to with
draw and put you up in h.
place?
Was not your card put in tn
paper by one of Mr.. Mcleod
close busieness associates?
Did not Mr.. Mcleod, or som
of his close business associate
get out, or assist in getting GU
a large number of circular letter
on Monday, the 25th., the da
your announcement was mad
and when you were not even
Lpmberton to sign the same
to direct how they should
written?
Were you not requested
come out as a candidate long b
fore Mr.. Mcleod withdrew, ar
did you not positively decline
consider the matter?
You can certainly tell the VIC
ers whether or not these fac
are true, and l think they have
right to know, inasmuch as its&
charged by some that you a
McLeod's proxy.
Is it not fact that some
your friends have already call
you D. Proxy" Shaw and ha
you not joked about the matte
l trust that you will not co
slider that the questions | ask a
personal attacks on you. / thil

In ways of sympathy; no soul so dead

A Travelling Mans Experience.

Il must tell you my experience
on an East bound O. R. & N. R.
R. train from Pendleton to Le-
Grande, Ore. writes Sam A. Gar
Der, a we'll known travelling man.
Il was in the smoking depart
ment with some other travelling
men when one of them went out
into the coach and came back and
said, There is a woman sick unto
death in the car. I at once got up
and went out, found her very i'll
with cramp collie; her hands and
arms were drawn up so you could
not straighten them, and with a
death-like look on her face. Two
or three ladies were working with
her and giving her whiskey. l
went to my suit case and got my
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Il never travel without it,, ran
to the water tank, put double
dose of the medicine in the glass,
poured some water into it and
stirred it with a pencil; then l
had quite a time to get the ladies
to let me give it to her, but sue
ceeded. | could at once see the
effect and worked with her, rub
bling her hands, and in twenty
minutes | gave her another dose.
By this time we were almost into
LIE Grande, where l was to leave
the train. gave the bottle to the
husband to be used in case anoth-
er dose should be needed, but by
| the time the train ran into LIE
Grande she was all right, and ]
received the thanks of everv pas

Why Men Advertise.

Says the manager of a great
department store:
I'VE have six different makes
of one toilet article; and they are
so near alike in quality that even
experts can't tell the difference
between them. Yet we sell as
much of one as we do of all the
others together. And why? 1t
is because the manufacturer is
everlastingly advertising it. The
other five sell in proportion to the
amount of advertising given to
them" The necessity for per-
sistent advertising was never
more apparent than it is to-day.

MIR. c. A. Oliver Should be Re-
elected-A Man of Clean
Hands-FuIl Ticket Suggest
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonan:
l wish to add my endorsement
to what Prof. Edens had to say
in The Robesonian of August
31st with reference to Mr.. c.. A.
Oliver. l, too, have known Mr..
Oliver for several years and at
the time he fed the county mules
lat a loss to himself) l was at
Marietta. | also know that he
stood alone in protesting against
the chain gang being employed
by the Cottingham Lumber Co. l
know Mr.. Oliver to be a man of
unquestionable Christian charac-
ter; if he errs it is an error of
the head, not of the heart; he
has nothing to hide. Again, l
want to say that he not only gave
one day, but many, to the super
vision of the county's work in
his vicinity.I don't think the re-
cords show that he put in a bill
for services rendered.
Now, l just wished to say this
in justice to Mr.. Oliver. l would
like to see hin go back. l think
it would be doing honor to one
who deserves it.
l will close by naming what
think would be a good ticket: fol-
Senator, K. M. Barnes; for the
House, Mr.. Jno. A. Humphrey,
of Burnt Swamp, and Jno. E. Car
lyle, of Raft Swamp; for register
of deeds, Mr.. N. A. Carter, OF
White House; for commissioners
c. A. Oliver, of White House
Jno. A. Currie, of Blue Springs
W. S. Cobb, of Lumber Bridge
Geo. L. Thompson, of Bach
Swamp; Angus Mckenzie.
These are all good men. Mr.
Oliver, having served before
, would be of great assistance t.
the new men. Of course we al
want Mcneil and Mckenzie il
: their respective places, and let
remember that I'VE be brethren
