WHAT'S THE ANSWER?
Governor Names Clark Instead
of Goodwin Delegate to Deep
er Waterways Convention,
Creating a Deal of Talk.

Raleigh Cor. ,2oth CharlotteObserver
Many here who are espec tally in
terested in the sixth congression-
al district contest between Con-
gresham Goodwin and O. L. Clark,
as to which is the Democra tic
nominee for Congress, attach
considerable significance to the
fact that today Governor Kitchin
announced commissions issued to
the Atlantic deeper waterways
convention at Providence, R. l.,
August 81 to September 3, and
omitted the nameof Congressman
Goodwin and included that of
Clark. along with Congressman
Small, Congressman Kitchin and
other eastern Congressman and
Senator Simmons as delegates.
Even DR.. John Faison, the NOM
inee in the third to succeed Con-
gresham Thomas himself. The
fate Of the Goodwin Clark contest
is now in the hands of the COM
mittee of five from the State
Democratic executive committee
headed by Ex-Governor Jarvis.
The question being asked here
is whether Governor Kitchin is
taking sides and expressing q
choice as to which Of the two
should be endorsed and as to
whether the Chief Executive has
gotten intimation as to what the
recommendation of the committee
of the State committee will be.

Suggestions For County Com

While our people seem to be
wrapped up in the congressional
matter it seems to me that that
matter will now take care of it.
self. and that we should give
heed as to whom Robson will
elect for her next commissioners.
While it seems to have been I'm.
derstood that our present compe-
tent men would not stand for re-
election, it seems that part of
them should be retained. 1t ap-
pears very fitting that we should
have one of our commissioners
located in Lumberton. Being in
the lower part of the county, I
would like to suggest that a good
ticket from this section would be
A. L. Bullock, from Rowland, A.
j. Floyd, Fairmont, and w. P.
Barker, of Lumberton. These
are all worthy and we'll qualified
to fill the place, and are men who
are known throughout the coun.
ty, and would undoubtedly get
the hearty support of the Demo
cratic voters.

from the upper end name two

A FREIGHT WRECK.
Four Cars Derailed on v. & C..
S. and Traffic DELAYED.

Thursday about noon local
freight train No. 5 on the Vir-
ginia & Carolina Southern rail-
road. due here at one o'clock in
the afternoon, was wrecked sew
en- miles from town on the south
side Of the Ten Mile swamp.
The wreck, it is thought, was due
to something coming loose under
a coal car that UPSET wheel, de-
railing four cars, the engine and
cars remaining on the track.
The wreck was bad one,
making it impossible to clear the
track under several days. The
freight engine with a car secured
from the Raleigh & Charleston
road, was used Thursday after
noon and evening and Friday
morning to transfer passengers
from the regular passenger train.
Mr.. J. P. Russell. superintend-
ent Of the road. put a large crew
of hands to work early Friday
morning and built a temporary
track around the wreck, and
about II o'clock Friday morning
the track was open for both
freight and passenger traffic.
Two of the cars derailed were
loaded with coal, the other two
being loaded with freight that is
more easily handled.
On top Of all this there came
near being more trouble Friday
morning at $50 o'clock at the
~" about 400 or 500 yards
from the station, when the
freight engine and coach were
almost completely derailed On
account of a partially open switch.
An engine from the Raleigh &
Charleston road was used in
pulling the coach and engine back
on track the and at II O'Clock al
was running smoothly again,

Edens stated that the mill would
certainly start today. The mill
has already received 400 bushels
ST wheat and has been receiving
numerous inquiries daily. Prof.
Edens says that much more
wheat has been raised in the
county this year than has been
generally supposed and the pro-
moters of the mill are confident
that the venture will be a
success and that the raising of
wheat in this and adjoinir~
counties will be greatly increase d.
The quality of the output of the
mill is guaranteed-the company
that installed the plant gets no
Jay unless the product is up to
he mark, so good flour is assur-
ID if the wheat is furnished. -

FLOUR MILL STARTS.
Begins Operations Today-Mr.
c. Mingus, Millwright from
Ohio, Thinks Conditions i'm
This Section Favorable for
Wheat Raising.
To the Editor Of The Robesonian:

To the Editor Of The Robesonian:
The flour mill of the Raft
Swamp Milling & Ginning Co. at
Pembroke will be ready in few
days for operation. 1t is one of
the completest in this part of
the country and as good as there
is anywhere. Situated as this
mill is, it should prove a God
send to the farmers of this and
surrounding counties. as it will
not only place the farmers in a
position where they can get good
flour for the wheat they raise
but will create a market for all
surplus grain which they may
raise so that they can make
wheat and other grain as a mon
ey crop. AS every farmer knows,
this will be a great advantage as
it will bring him in money at the
time of year when it is most
needed in order to help him car
ry on his other crops.
The increase in the amount
consumed and the decrease in
weld Of wheat in the United
States has made the question Of
where the supply Of wheat fol
the future is to come from mat
ter Of grave speculation fol
many years. Occasionally som.
article appears along this lin
that attracts attention, but usual
ly the country has ignored thu
pessimistic foreboding of tn
prophets of coming want. A
the present, however, public at
tention has been forced on tn
problem of wheat in the futur
and as to what can be done t
correct the apparently inevitabl
future shortage of supply. TIL
whole country seems to hav
walked at once and it is an assu1
ed fact that the days of chea
wheat have passed.
Therefore it behooves the farm
ers of this and surrounding cour
ties to turn their attention to tn
raising Of wheat to supply tn
home demand. | have examine
several crops of wheat raised i
this county this season and fin
them good, and / certainly be
lieve that if the farmers of thi
and adjoining counties will Civ,
attention to wheat raising the
will have no occasion to worr
over the future supply.

THAT COURTHOUSE SIZE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Leaving out OF consideration ell
questions of sentiment and civic pride, will
not the use of City Hall Park for the pro-
posed enlarged county courthouse seriously
affect the financial credit of the city Of Now
York? Apparently the controlling reason
for placing the new courthouse in the park
is the alleged depleted condition of the citys
resources. by reason of which. it is said.
the city cannot afford to buy land for the
building.
The city has recently put $50, 900
worth Of bonds on the market and contem-
plates other issues IN the near future. II
il were known that the city was so poor
its parks. which were created for perpetual
use, does it seem likely that investors would
be eager to purchase it's bonds?
If the city of New York is so in1pover-
ished that II cannot buy site for the
county courthouse, it were better not to
build one at all, and to rent quarters until
the city can afford TO buy a site.
One other question: Why does not the
courthouse board avail itself of property
which the city already owns? The city
owns the Elm street frontage from White
street TO Canal street. and the Public Ser
vice Commission is about IL offer il for
sale. This frontage. about one hundred
feet deep, enlarged by necessary purchases
or exchanges on the west, would afford ac-
cornmoda tons for the courthouse at COM
paratvey little cost. Z. H. IL
