WAR HISTORY.
Robeson's Part in the War Be-
tween the States Should Be
Written Now-Four Revolu-
tionary Battles.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
The great history of the war
between the States has yet to be
written, and 1T will be compiled
by sone great Macauly, who will
tell more about the people and
the real cause that brought on
the war than about the promi-
nent personages who figured in
it. Lincoln will become a secon-
Diary consideration, instead of
filling the headlines of all the mi
nor yankee histories. Some of
these writer's have men employ
ed to hunt UP and manufacture
anecdotes of the old fraud, and
then try to palm off such sutton
an intelligent public. If all who
were engaged in that, the great
est conflict of all times, would
only pen their experiences, what
a marvellous exhibit it would
make, and what a mine of facts
and information it would give of
the inner life whereon the con-
flict rested. The South will have
no fear in that exhibit.
| some time ago wrote about
the Importance of a county his
tory, but a history Of the part
Robson bore in that war would
come home to every true Robescn-
ian. Some one ought to get up
such a history. 1t can be done
now, while so many survivors are
still on the field, but if put off too
long then the records will be
closed forever on this side of the
river. There are many men in
the county who could give inter-
esting data of events during the
war that would be interesting,
and very instructive to the young
er generation. Tom McBryde,
John McAllister, Maj. Wooten,
Eb. Biggs, and hundreds Of 9TH
ers | might mention, but | name
the above because | know Of
their personal record they could
write of incidents, etc., that
would impinge on the marvellous.
If such sketches could be gotten
up and published in a permanent
form and placed in the county
library 1--WE ought to have such a
library), what delicious reading
it would be 100 years from now.
AS far as I can learn there
were four battles OR skirmishes
in Robson county during the
Revolutionary war, viz: Bellies
bridge, now Gilchrist's; Raft
swamp, near this place: Nc
Phaul's Mills. enormously so
called. as it occurred at Millprong,
as excavations of a railroad there
a few years ago revealed the re-
mains of buried soldiers: and an
account | saw once Of an expedi-
tion from the lower end OF the
county, headed by Capt. Biggs,
to suppress the tory movement in
the upper end. Nothing ever
came of it, however, as the low
landers returned without coming
in conflict with Capt. Neil Nc
Phaul and his burly highlanders.
If any of the participants in these
stirring times had left any data
of those events. how intensely
interesting it would be to us.

cies of domestic production, as fixed. charged. and received by the manu- lecturers thereof and the wholesale and retail dealers therein.
 Tt is but just to the wholesale men and the retail men of this country said Senator Gore. that this inyesti- gation be made Solemn senators have gravely and deliberately impeach- ed their fair dealings with their GUS toners. It has been charged here that the retailers of this country have been perpetrating extortions upon their friends and their neighbors and their friends. living within the limits of their cities or within their immedi- ate communities.
 There is no coward so great as he who fears to face the truth. and there is no cause so weak as that which is unwilling to stand upon the facts and upon the truth.
 If the manufacturers are not re- sponsible, they have right to be ex- onerted. If the retail men are the wretches and the robbers they have been here depicted, then, sir. they ought to be sought out. and their guilt ought to be established beyond reasonable doubt. and they should be held up to the wrath and the execra- ton of their countrymen.
 The retailers are not millionaires of this country And they desire this investigation. Why should not the manufacturers also favor it?"
 Some of the increases in the cost of commodities under the Dingley law, for which Senator Gore wanted the responsibility placed, included the fol lowing.
 Why did breadstuffs costing $1o.5o in 1896 cost s1S.16 in 19011?
 Why did meats costing s7.05 in 1896 cost s9.64 in 1907? And clothing costing s13.60 in 1896 cost s20.f0 in 1907? And metals costing s13.23 fn 1896 cost STEP in 1907? And mis cellaneous items costing s13.52 in 1896 cost $1924 in 1907? z
 Senator Aldrich fciled an impartial in vestigation of these questions by having the Gore resolution referred to his committee.

'. W. (. \. TO ASK
 AID OF LOCAL PUBLIC

The growth of tEe Yor25 None:i's $ Christian association throughout the cities of the United States is of inter est to those who desire to see every city providing agencies that make for the best
 The association is of benefit to every city or town and is looked upon by the business men as an institution that every city should be proud of and ready to keep in every way. The work is not a charity. The record of the as sociation is that they<are from seve- nty-ffve to ninety-five per cent self supporting. The business men all over the country are considering the work along with colleges and other public organizations that call for some assistance financially.
 The Bisbee association so far has not called for assistance in the meet ing of the regular yearly budget. The present quarters were furnished by friends outside the camp and few in the camp. All other expenses since then, aside from the secretary's salary, hae been met by the income from members fees. rent of rooms, board, lunches and class fees.
 TAe association is growing and the board of directors will very soon ask the public fbr some help in meeting the yearly budget. What the business
 men of other cities are doing We be lieve Bisbee can and will do.

CONSUMER AND RETAILER ARE 'BAMBOOzLED' Sidetracking of Senator Cores Resolution Fatal to Interests
 of Public AlD2lCH AND FINANCE
 COMMITTEE TO BLAME Measure Probably Never Be Heard Again-WiiI Likely
 Die Natural Death
fSpecial 10 Review )

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 26.-Bamboozled again. This is the only fitting expression to use in descri bing what Senator Aldrich has done to the consumer and retail mer- chant by side-tracking Senator Cores resolution which provided for an in vestigation to determine once and for all whether it is the middle man, the whoesaler. the trusts, or high tarif duties that is responsible for the ab- normal increase in the cost of living under the Dingley law.
 The finance committee of the senate swallowed the Gore resolution bodily.
 A vote was taken on the resolution. and at the dictation of Senate Boss Aldrich. the members of the Republi- can side decided that the finance com mittee, tof which Aldrich Is chair man). and not the senate as whole, was the proper body to determine upon the advisibility of a probe into high prices.
 This means that either no inyestiSa- ton will be made at all, or that wit neses will be summoned, and data will be gathered which will tend to give the retailer the worst of it, and ab- solve trusts and high protection from responsibility for increased living ex- penses.
 It is more than likely that nothing more will! be heard rom the Gore res wholesaler, the trusts, or high tarif natural to all resolutions of similar character that are referred to the Aid rich committee. Even, Senator Gore himself bid the resolution good bye
 The retail merchant has figured ex tensiveiy in the senate tariff debate for several days. He was introduced into the proceedings by Senators Aid rich and Hale. They made il appeal he was extorting fabulous profits iron the consumer.
 Senator Gore, on behalf of the retail CT. admitted the inferences of the sen ate bosses were important, if true. ant that for his part he favored an imme diate investigation into the question of whether it was the retailer or tn' trusts, operating under the Dingle. law, that is responsible for the sky ward tendency of the cost of food ->stuffs and wearing apparel,
 The amended Gore resolution pro ided for the appointment of commit tee not the finance committee or subcommittee of that body, to inyes tigate and report on

BALL GAMEsA ARE SCHEDUlED.F FOR
 CELE EBRATI0M

One of the committees for the Fourth of July has practically com I,ieted it's work. This is the baseball committee, of which George Gage IS chairman. Cananea, Courtiagd and Douglas will each have an opportun- fly to attempt to trail the penan; of Bisnee in the dust
 A letter received yesterday from Courtland stated that first class team in the new mining camp had been practicing until they fairly ached to show the metal in them. They asked for a game with Bisbee July 3. They will get it. And it is not 'cinch' either, that Bisbee will be able to hande them. It is under stood that a remarkably good collec- ton of ball tossers has been organ ized there
 Sunday. July {, Cananea for the past few years the practically unde- fcated champion of this section, will draw a big crowd to see them cross bats with the Bisbee bpnch. Gage is already getting his nine together. because the team here has been up against the bunch from the Mexican copper camp often enough for 7 him to know that 1t means full day s work for any time they attempt to defeat them.
 Douglas will try her luck with the Bisbee team Monday, July ,. The Shelter City has managed to keep a emi-professional team there since early spring. and they play together wonderfully well. Cananea. already defeated by them once this year. will bear testimony to the last statement. Gage and his committee have been voted $50 as expense money to make arrangements for the series of ball games Now that the teams are sign ed to come here. nothing remains but to look after the details.
 Meantime every effort will be made tc have the ball park completed ip time for the games Upon this their success largely depends.

PRICE 0F BREAD |S NOT RAISED
 BY CITY BAKERS

With wheat still on the climb ana the price of bread increased in many cites, 1t a graifyng fact that here in Bisbee the size and pr.ee of leaves remain the same as it was before Pat ten and his associates successfully manipulated to almost prphivltIve heights the most essential of all com modities.
 The business shrewdness of the Bis bee bakers and their stability in be- ing able to make large advance con tracts is all that saved residents of this city from having to meet the othsr towns in the United States. When the Patten corner was ac' knowledged the Vienna bakery hal two cars as the remaining portion ol a contract due from their miITers. The wheat was contracted for at very reasonable figure. So low was the price that the millers declared that iIl fill ng the contract to the local bakers they would be doing so at a great loss to themselves. They agreed that Il they could furnish the remainder Of the wheat at cost figure to then they would be willing to make an ex ceedingly low offer on the next ship
 ment. This arrangement was agreed to. by J~E. Page and T. F. WarIop
 prcprietors of the bakery. They art
 now getting wheat at figure lowe than the majority of bakers, and vii also eb able to get better figure or
 the shipment of July wheat which |; due to be delivered in August.
