KEEP THE REC OR d
STRAIGHT.

we call TO the dlLeHLlOH Vi LIE
Wilmington Star and The White
villeNews-Reporter the fact that
meeting was held in Lumber
ton on Tuesday night, the 21st
inst, at which time it was most
definitely decided that Lumber
ton should have nothing to do
with ex-Sheriff McLeod's propo-
sition to oppose the bond issue in
Baden county. Our only object
in calling attention to this is a
desire to see that the record is
kept straight and to see that the
people of Lumberton are not mis-
represented in this matter. Alta
meeting held on theFriday night
prior to this later meeting it
seemed that so much of the peo-
pie of the town as were repre-
sented by the people in atten-
dance-and it was a fairly repre-
sentative meeting were going to
endorse Sheriff McLeod's propo-
sition and a committee was ap-
pointed to draw up resolutions.
The result of this meeting was
fully reported in the next issue
of The Robesonian, and a report
of it was sent to The Star giving
the impression that the people
of Lumberton were behind the
opposition. But Look you. now,
what follows: When the meet
ing was held on the evening of
the21st the entire matter fell fiat
and it was the sense of the meet
ing that while Lumberton would
naturally like to see a road built
from Lumberton to Elizabeth
town, it was not any of the bust
ness of the people of this town
to NEEDLE in a bond election tc
be held in Baden county. If any
report of that meeting was SEN
to The Star we have failed to SCI
it, and so the impression givel
by the report of the first meet
ing, so far as The Star is concern
ed, has been allowed to stand
The News-Reporter makes men
ton of the first meeting, but doe
not mention the later meeting.
This is said merely in the in
terest of fairness to the people {
Lumberton. And we respectful
ly submit that The Star and TT
News-Reporter, having mention
ed the first meeting, which lie
the impression that the Peep
of Lumberton were enthusiast
for the proposed road to Eliz
BEETHOVEN, should make menti
of the meeting which followed
really an adjourned meeting
when another representa-
body of the citizens of Lumb

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and, until the last few
years, was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
