Editor r. R. Clark Of the States
vile Landmark has found it neces-
sarv to take a rest from work in q
Statesville sanatorium. The Robe
sonian sincerely hopes that Mr.. Clark
may soon get back his strength and
joins the Greensboro News in hop
ing that hereafter he will annually
take enough rest from work by choice
SO that ne will not be forced to re-
cuperate in a hospital. The editor
of The Robesonian began his news
PAPER work under MIR. Clark and he
knows from personal association with
him that he works joyously, consci-
entiously and unremittingly from
years end to years end, putting up
on himself longer hours and harder
labor than he asks Of any one who
works for land he knows, too, what
others know who are at all familiar
with the unexcelled paper he edits.
that there is no better cr more cour-
agecus or more accurate newspaper
man anywhere. Here's hoping that he
will soon be back on the job again
ard that he will take enough recre-
alton 70 enable him to avoid any more
forced rests.

There was some mighty small talk
in the Senate when the matter of an
proving the action of the Governor
and prison board in appropriating a
small amount of prison funds-S1O
each-to dependent families of con-
victs Christmas, was under consid-
Grafton. Opposition to that big-heart-
ed action on technicality was small
business. The Robesonian is glad to
note that Senator Cough of Robson
upheld that action and spoke in fa-
vor of it. That is what those who
know him expected of him.

that time the percentage Of men of

washingtonians have been urging a

Congress in its discretion to give
them this status.

Washingtonians have paid their
