Col. Bryan says that if the peo-
pie have sense enough to under
stand it he does not see the use
of explaining over and overagain
that he is willing to be a candi-
date again. Well, the people do
understand that good and plenty,
and it's the colonel's self who is
determined that they sha'n't for
get it and SO makes occasion to
repeat. 1t would be a sin to wish
that Col. Bryan's "too, too solid
flesh would melt, thaw, and re-
solve itself into a dew" and
we're not prepared to say that
we wish that, but we could join
with right good will in an old air
if the words were changed thus:
ooh, Democratic donkey, we've beer
thinking,
What a grand thing it would be,
If Col. Bryan were transported
Far beyond the Northern SeaW
Would the the Democratic don
key take the next ship in the
event of such a "devoutly to b.
wished consummation"? The
Lord forbid!

We don't know anything about
the merits of the proposition to
take certain portions of Robson
out of the stock law territory, but
we just remark in passing that
the gates which it is necessary
to stretch across roads in such
territory are a stumbling block
in the way of rural free delivery
The Postofice Department is nc
disposed to establish or to con
tinue rural routes where gates
are to be encountered.

AN UNNECESSARY HARDSHIP
TheSeaboard Legislating Against
Itself New Ruling Which
Seems Inexcusable.
To the Editor of The Robesoniar:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
AS it seems that the Legisla-
ture is not going to do any legis-
lating against the railroads, one
of them-the Seaboard-is doing
some legislating itself. An edict
has gone forth from Superinten-
dent Shea that the elegant high
back" comfortable doubledaily
service passenger coaches of
which T. P. A. Gattis writes
so charmingly-in his Seaboard
advertisements not to be
converted into sleeping quarters
any more. The travel-worn pas
senger who turns a seat in
disregard of this document with
which Supt. Shea has armed his
conductors, is to be-forclbly
when removed from
one of the seats. The seats are
to be returned" to their for
mer position and this rule is to be
rigidily enforced whether there
is one or are one hundred pas
sengers in the car, and also
without regard to the time of day
or night at which the offending
passenger shall attempt to estab-
fish himself for a comfortable
snooze. We might also have
said established herself" as the
pronunciamento is, as we under
stand it, also aimed against Wo.
man, unless she makes out prl-
ma facia case of sickness or is
accompanied by small children
Sickness may, but small children
will not, take a man without the
rule.
Our information, derived from
one of the conductors, is that thu
, rule was probably established fo1
the protection of women WIZ
travel in white dresses. Its ne
cessity is therefore at once ap
! parent and no further argumen
! is needed in it's favor except TO
!, the fact that this statemen
y is not official from Superin
tendent Shea.
a We are not informed as to how
, the rule takes elsewhere, but be
, tween Hamlet and Wilmington
there has been much complain
about its enforcement, and par
+ ticularly on the early train out 0
o Wilmington and the late trail
into Wilmington, neither 0
o which is often crowded betwee
here and Wilmington. We ar
. reliably informed that one nigh
4 last week, with only eight pas
a sengers in the coach, the Who'll
q eight were made to confne then
=. selves in their efforts to rest be
q tween here and Wilmington O
=. the night train to one "hig
v backed" seat, and not a woma
=, in white or otherwise in the cal
q To a man up a tree it looks as
the rule is an unnecessary hare
f ship on a late and uncrowde
y train, but perhaps those ''highe
, up" know better.
