T. Roosevelt, sometime Presi-
dent of these United States, is
certainly the foremost Sulphjte
of this footstool. The Colonel
always speaks right out, straight
from the shoulder, and before
people get through wondering
about one performance he breaks
out at another point. In London
the other day he laid down rules
for handling the affairs Of the
four British-African protector
ates and told the English Gov
eminent straight up and down
that if it did not intend to estab.
]ish and keep order in Egypt il
ought to get out. There aren't
any more like Colonel Roosevelt.
When he feels like a thing needs
to be said he says it and moves
on, leaving those who are hit tt

A. J. McKinnon for Congress.

A. ]. Mckinnon for Congress.
To the Editor Of The Robesonian:
When / first knew Sandy Nc
Kinnon, twenty-five or thirty
years ago. he was a poor young
man working hard, under ad-
verse circumstances. to get
foothold in the business world.
By his indomitable energy, hor-
e; y of purpose, coupled with
great natural ability, he has
amassed a comfortable fortune,
and now is one of the most sue
cessful business men Of this part
of the State. A man of this
kind, who has made a success Of
his own affairs, can safely be
trusted with the affairs Of the
people. Any man who can think
consecutively for half a minute
knows what a great benefit it
would be to Robson county to
have one of her citizens repre-
senting the sixth congressions
district. Robson has more votes
than any other county. This,
with the push and intelligence of
her delegates, should enable her
to carry her candidate through
successfully. To do this we must
stand solid together and vote as
one man. Go there with the deter
mination to nominate our man,
and do it. County pride (and
Robesonians have plenty of it,
should assure us being undivided.
All this talk about Not swap

|, with a great many others, have
always advocated keeping a man
in Congress more than two
terms. When YOU get the right
man, keep him there: but let's
get the right man first. Sandy

He would make friends in Con.

Division of the Southern Cotton
Association. He was in the thick
of the fight for better prices for
cotton when the fight was hard

sons candidate for Congress.
To the Editor of The Robesonian;
Some years ago depression in
all business, distress in the
working mans home and in the
farm home, all over the South,
put the Southern people to think
ing.
A look at the situation showed
very clearly that unless the
Southern people made defence of
their rights, soon there would be
dessolation all over the South.
Very greatly to the surprise of
the writer, he was called to take
the lead for North Carolina in the
great movement inaugurated to
restore prosperity in our land.
All over North Carolina l
found helpers who most cheer
fully devoted their time to aid
me in the gigantic undertaking
to raise the price of cotton from
the price then, six cents, to ten
cents, a price which meant pros
perity to our people.
Among these loyal helpers,
these men who had the good Of
the people of our State on their
heart and mind, there was one
who gave much time and thought
and most literally spent his
money, and who rejoiced when
the working man and farmer
saw JOY and comfort again in his
home, brought there through the
efforts of these men who did not
hesitate to make the fight for a
fair and just price for our cotton.
The man refer to is Mr.. Al
McklnnOn, OF NaXtOn. II were
to tell of the long trips he took
at his own expense. of the days
he spent with the writer in other
States, trying to influence othe,
men to stand for our rights, tel
of his earnest pleading for the
farmer and the working man
but why attempt to tell this

There have been rumors in several

that the government was working on a

much was said about it. This was Iker-
mans invention. Nearly every one has
been reading about the late maneuvers

but no one ever suspected that the sole
purpose of the travels OF this big boat
was to carry Fred Herman of Eldora,
from place to place to demonstrate his
torpedo to various naval officers who
should understand it. While employed
by the government the past five
months in demonstrating, Herman has
been receiving a salary of $40 day
and expenses.

Mason City Property Owners Confront
ed With Thirteen Mill Increase.
Mason City, Jan. 3.--Mason City tax
payers woke up New Years morning
with the cheerful contemplation of a
10 mill increase in their tax levy as a
New Years present from the city coun-
Gil. which makes total levy of 95.1
mills, the highest in the history of the
city and in the lead of a number Of
municipalities in the state.
The announcement of the increase,
which is for municipal purposes, was
met with a general lament, as taxes now
are burdensome and property owners
are devising various means of evading
them.
The state tax reaches the sum total
of SIS mills, while the corporation levy
is 37.5 mills. This produces a total sum
of $165,51646 The highest levies are
for school purposes, and for the teach
err fund is levy of 17.2, school build
ings 10 mills and the contingent fund
