A Suggestion in Regard to Road
Work Money Not Being Used
Properly.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
l notice a lot in the paper about
good roads, that good roads are
good investments. That is true.
But | wonder if their advocates
have not got something more in
mind than good roads. | think
they have. There are plenty of
taxes to put the roads in good or
der if put to the proper use. The
money is not going to the benefit
of the roads. The men that ride
over the roads and look at them
and the ones that stand beside
the roads with their hands in
their pockets are getting the
money, and the ones that shovel
the dirt a very small amount.
That is the reason there is not
enough money to put the roads
in good fiX-there are too many
getting big money and doing
nothing. If the roads were laiC
off in sections and let out to the
lowest bidder to keep up we
would have good roads with hal
the cost.

REVENUE DATA.
Collections on Tobacco About to
Make Up Shortage on Spirits.

Statesville Landmark.
Cashier Roberts, of the office
of Revenue Collector Brown, re-
ports the following collections
for last month:
Lists S 1863. so
Spirits 1859. 73
Cigars $500
Tobacco 21O,712
Special Tax 3,642. 95
Total $215, 421. IS
In comparing the collections
for last month with the col
lections for the same month last
year some interesting facts are
brought out. 1t will be observed
that the collections on spirits
last month amounted to only
$l69. .73, which is a decrease of
$27, 797. 7.88, compared with July
Of last year, and is the smallest
amount ever collected on spirits
in the district in a month since
the revenue laws were put in
force more than 40 years ago.
While the collections on spirits
show a decrease of $27, ,797. .88
compared with July, 1908. the
increase on tobacco amounted t.
$55, 161.7 78, and the total col
lectiOns for last month show ;
gain of S27, ,080.87 over July O:
last year.
The collections on tobacco ar,
increasing to such extent that i
is believed that the total col
lections for 1909 will equal thos'
for 1908, despite the loss OF
spirits.

INSTITUTE WORK.
Helpful Discussions at a Farm
ers' Institute and Institute for
Women Held in Lumberton
Monday.

Women Held in Lumberton
Monday.
The farmers institute and in
stltute fol women held in the
court house in Lumberton Mon
day were not attended by a very
large crowd, only between 200
and 300 being present, but the
meetings were interesting and
instructive and those who attend
ed were amply repaid.
Mr.. j. A. McAllister, chairman
of the local committee on ar
rangements, called the morning
session to order about 10 o'clock
and stated the object of the meet
ing. Mr.. ]. S. Jeffrey, of the A.
and M. College at Raleigh, pre-
sented the claims of the College,
and DR.. w. J. Hartman, also of
the College, discussed the neces-
sity of more stock on the farms
as furnishing cheaper meat, more
fertilizer at less cost, and gener-
ally cheapening the cost of farm
ing. He also discussed hog
cholera and tuberculosis in cattle
and the means of prevention.
Mr.. H. T. Hudson, director of
State demonstration farm work,
discussed corn raising. A few
years ago North Carolina averag-
ed IA bushels per acre; in 1907,
16 bushels; in 1908, 18 bushels.
This Mr.. Hudson declared is not
enough to support the farmers.
Deep soil and a supply of humus
are necessary. Soil is pulverized
rock and vegetable matter, or
humus, and you cannot grow a
crop in pulverized rock alone. A
large corn crop means corn hay
Tor forage), meat, and many 9TH
er things raised at home, A
good crop Of cow peas will put in
as much nitrogen per acre as a
ton of manipulated featilizer.
At the afternoon session Mr..
E. S. Millsaps discussed fruit
growing, pruning, kinds of fruit
adapted to different soils, etc.
Mrs. Sue V. Hollowell made an
admirable and helpful address on
domestic science, discussing every
phase of the subject. She placed
especial stress upon the impor-
tance of knowing what kind of
food to eat, what kind to give to
children, and the proper prepara-
ton of food. She said the farm,
ers pay more attention to buying
improved farm implements than
to buying improved cooking uten.

Mr.. Hudson discussed proper
methods of farming. He sale
that where the demonstration
methods according to the direc
tions of his department are useC
the production is more thar
doubled. A motion was adopted
by unanimous vote to ask thu
county commissioners to give al
amount not to exceed $500 to b.
used on demonstration farms il
the county. For this work tn
Educational Board of New Yorl
will give an amount equal to tn
amount raised by the county.

ENDORSES COURSE.
North Cardinals Senators and
Six Democratic Congressman
Right in Their Votes on Tariff
Any Other Policy Absurd
and Jniust

and Unjust
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
AS a citizen of North Carolina
and a subscriber to your valuable
paper, | desire to endorse the
course of Senator Simmons and
the six Congressman that voted
with him on the duty on lumber.
In view of the tariff policy as
adopted by the party in power,
the attitude assumed by the rest
of the Union and that North
Carolina is an agricultural State,
her chief staple being cotton, the
action of these representatives
was wise, just, patriotic and ia,
vorable. Any other line of poll
cy would have been absurd, un-
just and unreasonable, as it
would have forced us to sell on a
free trade market and buy from
a protected market-a thing we
have done for nearly half a CEN
tury.
A glance at the tariff law re-
veals the fact that the North
West has an enormous duty on
wool, the Middle States a high
rate on steel and iron, New Eng
land is greatly favored in every
shop and factory, and should the
Old North State be committed by
her representatives to the rest of
the nation to be fieeced and re-
ceive nothing in return? Even
her bagging and ties are taxed.
If the Republican party had
granted free wool, free iron and
steel and free dry goods. | should
have voted for free lumber.
Senator Overman agreed to vote
for free lumber if they would
give free nails for dwellings. No
one expected such a favor.
Some say these honorable men
violated the Democratic platform.
Is a platform like the laws of the
Medes and Persians, that change
not? The silver issue has been
altered by the platform-makers.
A platform can be adopted only
conditionally. 1t would be very
wrong to wrench a plank out ano
enforce that and sit complacently
and acquiesce in the action of the
other party with reference t
every other item.
In regard to free hides, | WoulC
vote for this if leather and boot:
and shoes were made free. Any
other course would be to continue
to protect the factory at the ex
J pense of the farmer. If raw
. materials are free, finished pro
/ ducts Should be free.
Gov. Glenn quotes the note'
dictum, equal rights to all, spe
cial privileges to none, and tn
: greatest good to the great
} est number. This can nev
: er apply under a tariff law
A for every consumer pays tribut
f to every manufacturer; ever
man who bugs a nail contribte
e to the iron and steel trust.

Most Beautiful Dance of the
Season Delig ghtful Concert.

Correspondence Of The Rohesonian.
The most beautiful dance of
the season took place on last eve
ming at Greater Lumina, when
the much-talked-of Turkish
Dance" which was given by the
Tide Water Power Company in
honor Of the 200 or more visitors
who are here to attend the North
Carolina Fire Underwriters Con-
vention, took place. The decora-
tons were most appropriate and
elaborate, the ball room being
made to represent a Turkish
Palace, with beautiful hangings
and Oriental designs, while ar
tiStically arranged around the
ceiling and walls were a number
of scimiters and swords. The
thirty port holes" were covered
with transparencies of crescents
and stars. Another beautiful
feature of the decorations was
the Fantastic lamps, of Turkish
design, which were used in great
numbers, casting a soft glow over
all, and adding greatly to the
Oriental appearance of the scene.
The music was also in accord with
the spirit of the evening, many
Wierd and beautiful pieces being
sWeetly rendered by the excel
lent Lumina Orchestra. During
the course of the evening, appro-
pirate souvenirs were presented
to those present, each guest re-
ceiving an attractive Turkish fez.
The versatility of the Power
Company has been the cause of
comment by the thousands of
visitors from near and far,
as we'll as the Wilmington
ians, but never in the history of
Lumina has a more unique or
beautiful dance been given than
the ''Turkish Dance"
A delightful amateur concert
was given at the Seashore Hotel
on Tuesday evening, when sever
al little girls who are guests at
this hotel consented to give an
informal concert for the amuse-
inent and entertainment of the
other guests. The pleasant af-
fair was held in the ball room,
which was thronged with guests
Of the Seashore. Those who
participated in the program were
little Misses MARITIME Burnley and
Juliette BOardman, of Atlanta,
Ga, in songs and skirt dances
Misses Madeline and Dolores
Ballinger, of Charlotte, in songs
and piano selections; and little
Miss Rosalie Burbank, of Will
mington, who gave general re
citations and songs. The little
girls displayed much talent, ant
thesaudience was charmed ant
