Anxious to Start Cigar Factory
in Lumberton if ProperInduce-
ments are Offered.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
We trust that you will allow us
space in your valuable paper to
publicly express our appreciation
OF the hospitable manner in
which Messrs. Ramon Fa and
Frances Capitano were entertain
ed while on a prospecting visit
to your town recently. They were
very favorably impressed with
the situation, and believe that a
good business can be built up
around Lumberton. While it
is not yet a certainty that the
cigar factory will be built and
operated, the company stands
ready and anxious to carry out
its plans provided the town offers
the lnducement it should. In case
we locate in Lumberton we in
tend to manufacture the same
sizes and brands of cigars that
have made Tampa, Fla, famous
the world over as clear Havana
cigar center. Just now the cigar
industry in Tampa is at stand
still because of labor trouble be-
tween the cigar makers and the
manufacturers, and there seems
to be no likelihood of an amicable
settlement of the difference in
the near future. The manufac-
turers are having to established
branch houses in other towns in
order to supply their regular Gus.
toners. We are anxious to get
out of this situation as soon as
possible and to locate in Lumber
ton in the event the proper in
= ducement is offered. In con.
clusion we wish to thank The
Robesonian and the busines.
men of your town for the inter
. est they have taken in our enter
i prise.
Yours very truly,

PRIMARY ORDERED.
No Nomination in Sixth District.
Says State Committee-Pri-
mary Must the Held Prior to
September 18th.


Raleigh Special, oath. to Wilmington Star
The State Democratic execu-
tive co nmittee, in session tonight,
decided that neither H. L. God
win nor o. l.. Clark was legally
nominated for Congress IN the
sixth district. The committee
ordered a voting primary to settle
the question Of nominations, the
date to be prior to September
18th, and the plans of the
pr mary to be arranged
by a committee appointed by
State Chairman Eller.
This latter feature means that
the district executive committee
that had such serious clashes at
the time of the former convention
will be expected to stand aside
and have the machinery for the
primaries and the convention set
in motion by a non-partisan COM
mittee.
1t is understood that candi-
dates generally for nomination
for Congress can enter this new
primary which it is stipulated
must be held in each county,
separate and apart and at a differ
ent time from any primary or
convention for any other purpose.
The meeting of the committee
tonight consisted of "a present in
person. and ten by proxy. Ex-
Governor Aycock read the report
Of the investigating committee
which consisted of six typeWrit-
ten pages and reviewed at con
siderable length the stirring fea
lures of the former district con.
vention as showing that there
had been irregularities that dis
qualified both conventions fo
making legal nomination.
There was a minority repor
from Hon. Theo. F. kluttz, O
Salisbury, insisting that 0. L
Clark was the real nominee O
the Democrats of the district
but declaring that in the even
the State Committee sided wit
the majority report of his con
mittee that there had been u
nomination, then he concurre
in the recommendation that ther
be a general voting primary VI
der SuperviSiOn of the State CON
mittee.
The reading of the reports {
the investigating committee b
Gov. Aycock was followed by
resolution by Francis D. Winston
that the report of the majorit
be adopted anG that the Sta
chairman be authorized to al
point whatever committees we
necessary for carrying out tt
recommendations of the commi
tee. this precipitating a gener
discussion that continued un
II o'clock and after. Briet
stated, the findings of the col
mittee were that the State col
mittee has ample jurisdiction
settle the dispute in the six
district; that the investigate
committee looked thoroughly
to the situation in the sixth a.
was satisfied that there had be
no nomination of a CO
gresham and that there havi
been no nomination, the thing
do was to call voting primar
in all the connties on a comm
day to send delegates to the q
trict convention under the sup
vision of the State chairman o
committee named by him.

FIGHT POINTS FOR sETToRs.
What Makss a Full Round or a
 Knockout.

There is so much discussion going on over the big fight that many ar guments have sprung up. Here are some pointers that must be taken into consideration and will settle 2 good many arguments, says a Cincin- nati writer. If <he referee stops the fight to prevent one man being badly beaten or the seconds throw up the sponge, it counts as a knockout. If a man bets that the contest will go a certain number of rounds-say ten rounds-and there is a knockout in the tenth round, the bet is lost, as the round is not a full round until the three minutes are up. Neither man will weigh in, so there is no way to decide bets on their weight The referee has hot been selected nor will he be for some time. Jack Welsh and Eddie Smith are the favorites. ac- cording to gossip. but not according to the officials of the club, who say no one has even been mentioned yet. The fight will be held at the Oak land race track, at Emeryville, CN. across the bay from Frisco, at. two o'clock on the afternoon of July 4. The arena will be located in the cen ter field of the track. The contest is scheduled for 45 rounds
