matters and an unusual tact in the
handling of the vexed questions
which will always arise where
white and black are thrown togeth-
er in business unity.
Beginning in poverty they have
progressed to affluence; starting in
illiteracy their every child is now
a pupil in the school; given the
right of self government with no
preparation for it and no concep-
ton of its value they have grad
ually risen to the same height to
which their white brothers stand.
Booker T. Washington says that
the development of the Negro race
rests almost entirely upon the op-
portunities given its members for
self direction under hardship. The
average white will assume that the
Negro has no power of imitation
and that there is no ability in the
Negro race to make continuous and
unaided progress toward civiliza-
ton. A visit to southern Cass
county will do more in one day
to dispel this belief and to uphold
Mr.. Washington s statement than
would month of argument The
story of the inception of this set
tlement which now occupies all OF
Calvin and a large part of Porter
township, is interesting.
1t dates as far back as 1910, at
which time these two townships
were inhabited mainly by Quakers
who had left their former homes
in the south because they did not
approve of slavery. These Quak-
ers gradually let it be known that
runaway slaves would find well
come among them, and about the
date named few Negroes refugees
began to find their way into these
townships. The number grew lar
ger yearly and the vicinity grad
ually blossomed into a regular sta
ton on the old underground rail
road
The township of Calvin now has
a population of 159 Negroes and
512 whites. making Negroes SUI
preme and giving them member
upon the board of county super
visors. In addition there is large
Negro population in Porter town
ship adjoining and "A less number
in all parts of the county. A drive
through the region today will re-
veal nothing different from the
average township in the state, ex-
cept that the faces of the inhabi-
tants are black. The farms COM
pare favorably, many of the houses
are large, attractive and well built;
the yards are made beautiful with
grass; shrubbery and flowers and
the barns, poultry, stock and other
farm attachments are in keeping.
Some of the Negro residents are
among the most prosperous men
in the township. "Bill" Allen, a
stock raiser and trader, has as high
a standing for honesty and ability
at the Chicago stockyards as has
his average white brother lie

A serious illness is often brought on
by a neglected sore throat.
All throat troubles invariably weaken
the system and should not be allowed
to go unchecked.
A gargle made with twelve drops of
Sloan Liniment in half glass of wa

Sloan's Linlment is an excellent rem

bronchitis. Applied freely to the out
side of the throat and chest, it draws
out the Inflammation, reduces the
swelling and relieves any soreness. =
Twelve drops of this Liniment in half a
glass of water makes splendid anti

Mr.. Albert W. Price, of Fredonia,
Kans., writes:-''W 1--WE have used Sloan's
Liniment in the family for about year

and hay fever attacks. Two drops of
the Liniment in teaspoonful of water

John Duffy, wanted in Camp
bell county, Va, on the charge
OF forgery and seduction, was
arrested at Red Springs Satur-
day and brought here by Deputy
4. G. Barnes. Officers from Vir-
ginia will probably come for him
today. Duffy's home is in Rust
burg, Va, where he was until
recently employed on railroad
construction work, and he left
home some two weeks ago. His
whereabouts were revealed to
the authorities at his home
by a letter to his wife, mail
ed at Duke, telling her to write
him at Red Springs. A reward
of $25 was offered for his cap
ture.

ed.
Scottish Chief
Mr.. Mcleod introduced a bill
in the House last Saturday to
form the county Of North Rob
eSon. y There IS therefore now
two North Robson bills pend
ing. The Senate bill leaves Max
ton in Robson. The House bill
takes MaXton in to help pay the
tax, but with no chance of be-
coming the county seat, though
on account Of ii being located at
a junction of two main lines of
railroad, ii would seem that it is
the logical point for the public
buildings if the conveience Of the
people were to be consulted in
forming a new county. How
ever, MaXton does not want the
county of Robson dismembered
at present. 1t is we'll satisfied.
and declines Mr.. McLeod's offer
with thanks.
Speaking for the editor, and
for no one else, if there!is to be
a new county formed out of any
part of Robson, we would pre-
! fer the 'Hoke' proposition for
the reason that it takes less of
this county; and also because the
section of Robson included can
urge with more truth than any
other part Of this great county,
that it needs relief. We much
prefer Robson intact, and do
not think there is now need for a
new county; but if there is, let it
be the two more destitute cor
ners Of Cumberland and Robson.
The balance OF Upper Robson
can make no just claims for re-
lief.

ON TO RALEIGH.

A Large Delegation of Those
Who Oppose Division to be
in Raleigh When the New
County Matter Comes Up
Thursday.
AS mentioned in The Robe
sonian at the time, at a recent
meeting of citizens held here
Messrs. N. A. Carter, Of Fair
mont, and Frank Cough, of Lum-
berton, were appointed a COM
mlttee to try to secure special
rates to Raleigh on Thursday of
this week, the 18th, when the
new county matter will come up
for consideration. Messrs. Carter
and Cough got busy on the mat
ter and did their best, but the
railroads did not take kindly to
the suggestion and they have
not been able to secure any re-
duction in rates. But that is
neither here not there. The
rate to Raleigh from any point
in the county is not very much,
and it pales into insignificance
before the importance of having
a large delegation in Raleigh
Thursday from this section Of
the county. And a large dele
cation will go. Some will go to-
morrow, some Wednesday, while
other some will wait until Thurs
day morning, arriving there a few
hours before the hearing before
the committee on counties, cities
and towns, which hearing is set
for $3.50 O'clock Thursday after
noon.
1t is urged by those who are
leading the opposition to the
movement to divide the county
that as large a delegation as pos
sible show up in Raleigh on that
day, and it is to be hoped that
every man who can possibly do
SO will appoint himself a COM
mittee of one to see that he him.
self gets there. Those who are
getting up petitions are asked to
mail them at once, or at least in
time to reach Lumberton by
Wednesday morning, either to
Messrs. Mcintyre & Lawrence,
Mr.. R. D. Caldwell or Mr.. A.
w. Mclean.
