Robson County is the largest
county in North Carolina. In point
of wealth it ranks sixth and is
only exceeded by such counties
as Mecklenburg, Guilford, and
New Hanover. From an agricul-
tural standpoint Robson county
possibly excels all others. There
were over sixty thousand bales
of cotton raised in 1909 and valu-
ed at over three million dollars.
There were in addition to this
other products raisedsuch as corn.
tobacco, etc. 1t is recognized by
all that the crying need of the
county is to raise more corn so
that farmers will not be depend
ent upon the western markets

TAFT RETURNS TO BEVERLY
Makes Trip In Auto mt High Speed
From Dublin yiIlngc.

Beverly, Mass, August 2s.-From the
pretty little village OF Dublin. tucked
away In the New Hampshire foothills,
President Taft coasted ninety miles
this afternoon down to Beverly. and
the level of the sea. The drop was
nearly 1900 feet and the President
was whirled along In his high-powered
automobile at a speed of from thirty
to thirty-five miles an hour.
At every little village on the way
people were on the lookout for the
President, greeting him as he swept
by.
Both the President and Mrs Taft
seemed thoroughly to enjoy the long
and fast ride. Miss Helen Taft, Mrs.
Lewis More, a sister of Mrs. Taft. and
Captain Archibald Butt were the other
occupants OF the car. Beverly was
reached shortly after o'clock to-
night.
at Dublin the President and Mrs.
Taft and their party were the guests
of the Secretary OF the Treasury and
Mrs Macyeagh. To commemorate his
visit the President planted a rock ma
pie tree just at the edge Of the de-
clivity looking down into the valleys
and directly opposite the presidential
tree, the British ambassador, Mr. Bryce,
planted another.
The President and Mrs Taft at
tended the Unitarian Church in Dublin
this morning. AS the President APP
peared in the doorway the choir sang
America" and the entire congrega-
tion stood until the President had
taken his seat.
The President had no political con
ference at Dublin other than to talk
over the general situation with Secre-
tary MacVeagh and Governor Quinby
The visit was purely a personal one
The Dublin titp was the longest and
most picturesque the President has YET
taken in an automobile.

urally quick temper is not the least of his achievements, and horsemen on both sides of the water will learn with regret that he is getting too heavy to ride and will hardly be seen in the saddle after 1910, if during that period. Maher is about the age when Mclaughlin and Garrison, who also came from Connecticut, had to give up active work in the saddle. All three boys came from Hartford. and it is doubt full if any city in the world has ever pro- duced three such famous jockeys. It is also noteworthy that all three were brought out and practically developed by the Dalys, Bill and Mike.

wrights Not sentimental.

From the New York Times.
 Giving advice to the brothers Wright is a discouraging business, as they never take it, and to exhortation they seem to be impervious. They simply will not look upon their invention from the sporting or sentimental point of view. Instead they insist on regarding themselves as manu- facturers with machines to sell. That their machines are flying machines, and, therefore, objects of intense interest to innumerable people who never expect to go further aloft than an elevator will take them interferes not a bit with either the desire or the determination of the brothers to protect all of their legal rights, to reduce competition in their trade as much as they can, and to get the last cent of reachable profit from their device.
 That this course is not nearly as ad- vantageous for the art of aviation as it is for the Wrights as the most eminent practitioners of that art troubles them not at all. So far from needing the laments from many quarters that they are limit ing and minimizing the Investigations and experiments by which the best ana quickest results would be secured in me- chanical flight, they suavely urge tneir lawyers to renewed and implacapie ac- tivity against anybody who infringes tneir patents Indeed, Wilbur Wright com plains that the American patent law Is not stringent and rigid enough. since It puts the burden of proof on him instead of on his would-be rivals and makes him waste his time in courts when he wants to use it in increasing the output Of his shop. What he says about the patent law is undoubtedly true; in not few cases 1t does subject the Inventor to peril and injustice, especially if he lacks the money required for endless litigation and num- berless appeals, but somehow one can not help wishing that the wrights were
 a little more ready to take in glory a part of the reward for their unquestion- ably great services to the world. No body doubts that they are well within their rights in defending their basic patent on defective wing-tips. and per haps 1t would be rather absurd for them not to do so Still, when absurdity takes the form of generosity. disinterest- edness, and magnanimity, 1t has, Its charms-charms that are sometimes lacking from an implacable assertion oi

He did everything but stand on his head, and finally snapped the leather martin gales with his teeth as though they were tissue paper As for racing, he would have none of it, and Dwyer gave him up in disgust"
