Fun and pure innocence some
times make a face like trouble
when people will not see things
in their true relations. 1t seems
that that is what has happened
as a result Of the at first good
natured contest at the box supper
held recently at the school house
in Wishart's township, district
No. 3. We are advised that an
error occurred in the estimate of
the amount given recently in The
Robesonian as raised from the
sale of the cake, but the main
thing is that misunderstanding
have grown out of the contest
and some of the people are mad.
Last week petition was circulate
ed to have this school discontin-
ued, but the effort failed, as of
course it should have done. It is
to be hoped that the grown-ups
of that school district will not let
a little thing like friendly rivalry
in voting contest interfere with
the school opportunities of the
children.

This is the story of Cook. DR..
Cook said he discovered the
North Pole. Right away some
people said he had told the thing /
that was not. Other some said
DR.. Cook was the real money
and had been all the way to the
Pole, just like he said he had. |
Peary came along later and said
he was It, that Cook was liar
and had not been out Of sight of
land and that he was the only
and original Poleist. Some people
said Peary was the great and
only and other some said
that Peary was making an
ass of himself. By and by peo-
pie got back to quiet life and lost
Interest in the whole bloomin'
business, and then came oneCapt.
! Loose and one Dunkie with a
song and dance about framing
up a lot of dope for Cook to hand
in as his proofs of having been
to the Pole and that they squeal-
: ed because Cook did not come
across with the long green he
promised them for their pains.

MAKE 1T CERTAIN.

If ex-Sheriff Mcleod will put
up good and sufficient guarantee
that he will forfeit, say, $25, 900
in case he should fail to build
and operate his proposed railroad
to ElizabethtoWn and then draw
up a definite agreement as to |
what he will do in regard to en-
tering Lumberton, we believe
Lumberton people will lend him
hearty support in his project;
otherwise we do not believe the
people of Lumberton will have
anything to do with it. Of course
a railroad from Lumberton to
ElizabethtoWn would be a good
thing for the town and every
body would favor certainty of
that kind, but it would be folly
for Lumberton folks to lend aid
to defeat bond Issue in Bladen
whereby railroad has been al
solutely assured unless assurance
as absolute is given that tie
other road will be built. There
is the rub. And this is said
without questioning the sincerity

NEATLY DONE.

In stating in Thursdays paper
that we had seen nothing in The
Wilmington Star from it's Lum-
berton correspondent in regard
to the Transcontinental since
Coils. A. Jones' last spiel in that
paper calling on that correspon-
dent to do certain things, we laid
ourself open to the charge of not
having searched so diligently
after all. But really there is
some excuse for overlooking the
reply, for we naturally expected
to find it in the news section OF
the paper, whereas it was on the
18Th page of that excellent spe
cial edition of TheStar last Tues
day, and here it is:
Col. S. A. Jones, for Western
North Carolina, on December 9Th
wired The Star that this cores
pondent should give one intelli
gent and just reason why Robe

which we were to confess to be

such confession. and therefor
offer four reasons, which, from
the small vote received is thi
county for Transcontinenta
bonds, seemed to our people jus

If energy, push and hard work
can get for Wilmington that 30
foot channel to the sea which is
of so much Importance to it and
to the remainder of the State as
well, The Wilmington Star will
surley get it. That paper has
worked diligently in season and
out of season, and it has never
considered any work too arduous
to do in this cause.
The above is by way of preface
to comment on last Tuesdays
issue of The Star, which was a
40-page issue. On that day The
Star carried what it designated
as ''Thirty-Foot Waterway Sup
plement," consisting of five Sec
tons of eight pages each in ad-
dition to the regular eight-page
paper. These 80 pages contain
ed a graphic write-up Of the bus
mess of the city, made most in
teresting by profuse illustrations
showing the many handsome res
licences, business houses and
scenes in business and shipping
quarters.
This extra edition is for the
purpose of showing to the people
of North Carolina what it's chief
seaport is doing as the States
port of entry-and a splendid
showing does it make; also fol-
the purpose of the demonstrating
the fact Wilmington's ad.
vance ment as a seaport must
necessarily work to the advan.
tage Of the whole State, which il
demonstrates beyond successful
contradiction. Along this line
most apropos are the opening
paragraphs of the Introductory
article to the five section supple
ment:

CHURCH|LL'S WIFE
IS RA|LEO At BY
LOUD SUFFRAGETTE
Board of Trade President Tries
to StiHe Member of Shrek
ing Sisterhood.

LONDON, Jan. 14.-Mrs. Winston
Spencer Churchill was the centre OF a
most extraordinary scene at a ban
quet given here in honor of her hus-
band, president of the Board of Trade.
Mrs. Churchill was seated with her
husband when a woman in evening
dress approached the table and, facing
the cabinet officer and hrs wife, began
an argument on woman suffrage. Mr..
Churchill attempted to gloss over the
scene by replying soothingly to the
woman, but this only melted the suf-
fragettc to violent, talk.
Then Mrs. Churchill. tried to quiet
he woman, who thereupon turned IN
her with such fury that the officials,
setting the intruder by the shoulders.
hustled her from the hall, h resist
ing all the way and shouting sGf-
fragette battle cries.
Since, as the pretty Miss Clementine
Hozier. she became the bride of the
president of the Board of Trade, Mrs.
Churchill has taken an active interest
in her husbands political activity-pos-
sibly because 1t was generally under
stood that she had supplanted Lady
Mary Howard, who materially assist
ed him in his election campaign-and
last night she attended a political ban
quet given Mr.. Churchill at Birming-
ham.
