Correspondence of The Robesonian. It is only one hour now until train time and I wonder what kind of a letter I can get up for The Robesonian in that time: but I am going to send some thingthat is, it nothing occurs to interrupt me, which is often the case.

I am tired just now. and a lit tle worried, too. I have been out through the hot field in search of an old foolish turkey hen that carries her little ones off and will not bring them home to get water. So I rambled around in their usual haunts, and failing to find them came to the house. In a few minutes afterward she made her appearance, strolling along leisurely from another direction.

I guess the intense heat warned her that she had better make for the shade. ester day 's Constitution brought the sad news of. the death of ''Uncle Remus' our inimitable Southern writer, who has for years charmed the world of children with his quaint folklore and his stories of Bre'r Fox an Bre'r Rabbit. His imitation of the old slave negro dialect could not be surpassed, and I much doubt if it can be successfully reproduced by any other person. When I was a child it was my greatest delight to hear these old queer tales related by a certain colored woman named Harriet, whose fund of stories seemed inexhaustible, ana many of them were of the Uncle Remus order, the wonderful feats of "Bre'r Rabbit and Bre'r Fox" some of which I yet remember distinctly.

On one occasion some-years ago, I was spending some weeks in Florida, with relatives. It was about the time when Uncle Remus and his animal yarns began to attract wide spread attention, there were many Northen people in the little town in which I was visiting that winter, and some of their children were attending the high school in the place. The school commencement came off during my stay, and 1 attended the exercises. Among the recitations on the programme was one en titled Bre box an Bre Rabbit," by Ralph Bingham. He was a bright young boy, son of a Northern physician, and had caught on to the quaint dialect in a way that captivated the au dience; so at the close oi his recitation the house shook with applause and a cry arose for a repetition, but he had acted well his part and declined to grant the request.

I never think of that Florida trip that I do not recall, among other interesting sights, an old Yankee major, or rather an old Dutchman, who fought in the Yankee army, and was hobbling around with a cane, because his leg was full of Rebel bullets. I had seen so many of our own brave boys come from the war with empty sleevs, and wounded and maimed in various ways; but this was the first and only Yankee I had seen in that condition, and I'm afraid my sympathy was at a low ebb especially as he was a foreigner and ought to have stayed at home and attended to his own business. By this time things are getting lively in Denver, and Bryan will soon know either victory or defeat. I think he has great resolution to enter the third time the political arena, upon which he has heretofore met only disaster. President Roosevelt occaionally does surprising things which are calculated to counteract others which were unjust and sectional.

The appointment of an ex-Confederate soldier to a Cabinet position was a gracetul act, as was also the appointment of Stonewall Jackson's grandson to a cadetship at West Point; but how about Dr. Crum as collector of the port at Charleston? I have no locals to send in this week and therefore nothing of interest to write. The Fourth passed off quietly here, not even the report of a gun to celebrate the birthday of American Independence. The 'Squire is on the sick list, but I think is slowly improving. The heat is getting too severe for him, and he talks of going in searcn oi nis native Dreezes among the Virginia mountains some time soon.

Mr. T. K. McRae, a native Robesonian, but now of Wachula, who is visiting relatives this section, called on us yesterday afternoon. We were glad to see him and to learn that he is doing well in his adopted home.

It is a pleasing fact, and speaks well for our county, that most of her sons who seek their fortunes in other States rarely fail to achieve success. Aunt Becky.

G. McKenzie filed his report for June. THE LOWRIE GA No Likelihood of War in Immediate Future, if at All. Washington Dispatch. 9th.

The diplomatic relations be tween America and Venezuela that have existed uninterruptedly tor more than a century, though recent years severely strain ed, were to-day completely sever. ed. This afternoon, Senor Veloz- Goiticoa, the Venezuelan charge d'affaires, called at the State Department by appointment to present to Acting Secretary Bacon notice trom his government that he was to quit his post here, close up the Venezue lan legation Washington and repair forthwith to Venezuela. The charge explained to the acting Secretary that the action ot the State Department in withdrawing Jacob Sleeper, the American charge from Caracas and in closing up its legation there, made it. necessary for his government to take similar ac tion in the case ot its own lega tion Washington.

It is pointed out who have followed developments in the situation that there slightest danger of by officials closely the Venezuelan is not the war in the immediate future, or indeed at all. Rather will the situation re semble that following the rapture of diplomatic relations between France and Venezuela tor msance where legations were closed on both sides and all official relations terminated while trade between the two countries continued. The history of these episodes in the ease of Venezuela is very much alike. Mr.Veloz-Goiticoas' with drawal follows that of Minister Russell as diplomatic representa tive of the United States to Ven ezuela about two months ago and that of Mr. Sleeper, the secreta-tv of legation, and Lieutenant Ruersrles, the military attache, about two weeks since.

The reason for the withdrawal of the American legation at Caracas arose from the persistent refusal of Venezuela to give redress tor the governmental action by which all American interests in Ven ezula were either destroyed or confiscated, or to submit the claims of American citizens to arbitration. Renewal of Industrial Activity, Haltimore Sun. The announcement in a Pitts burg dispatch that oU, UUU men returned to work yesterday in certain industries in that section is very encouraging. It is stated in this dispatch that before the end of the present week "the Pittsburg district it is expected, will have practically resumed the prosperous conditions which were interrupted by the financial cloud last October." Authorities concur in the belief that the agricultural production of the United States this year will in all probability be a decisive factor in expediting the restoration of prosperous conditions. There are indications of large crops of all kinds.

While no new records are likely to be made, there is confidence that the yield will be sufficient to facilitate the return of favorable conditions in busi ness. Big crops mean increased business for the railroads and for the merchants. To "move the crops requires large sums of money, and it is worthy of note that this matter is already receiving the attention of Treas urv officials. The hope may be indulged, without excessive opti mism, that the country will soon be fairly started on the way to the complete resumption of nor mal business and industrial conditions. carry lent.

Suffering all the agony, physi cal and mental, and exhibiting many of the symptoms that ac company death by poisoning, John Neriza died yesterday, the victim of hallucination and autosuggestion. It is believed that his condition resulted from worry because of Fourth of July noise. Attending physicians found no trace of poison in their examination of Neriza. Members of his family declare that he had eaten nothing which might have caused his condition. But the efforts of physicians to assure him that he was not poisoned were tutile, and he passed into a comatose state and di after hours of acute suffering.

A weak mental state is held responsible for the self-hypnotism. It was asserted by physicians that several deaths occur annually in every large city from such conditions. The Remedy Tbat Does.

A Portion of Col. Old's Article False and Misleading The Beginning of Henry Berry Low-rie's Career of Crime Some Statements Corrected. To the Editor of The Robesonian: I notice that you have copied Col. Old's write-up of the Croa-tans(as they are called). I have nothing to say about the most of the write-up, but there is one portion of it which is talse and misleading and which uoes a great injustice to some who were then among the best citizens of Robeson county and who are now in the Great Be yond.

The portion to which I al lude is that which gives the cause of Henry Berry Lowrie's lawlessness. Allen Lowrie, H. father, was never called on to work on the forts. He was beyond the age. Besides, Hen ry cerry never killed a man who was present when his father and his brother Bill were killed.

Near ly every man he killed was in the army at the time his brother and father were shot. The cause of their beihg shot was as follows: There had been several right daring burglaries com mitted in the neighborhood and the courts were not in a position to deal with the equity parties because most of the able-bodied men of the State were in the Confederate army. However. nothing was done until one night the residence of Mrs. E.

A. Mc Nair, of Alma, was attacked. ortunately she had visitors who were armed and she was a very brave woman hersell and conse quently there was a hght and a number of shots was fired on each side and finally the robbers were driven off without entering the house. This was too much for her Scotch neighbors, though they were old men, such as con stituted the Home Guard, as they were called, and they got together and followed the robbers and circumstances took them to Allen Lowrie's house. They searched it and found a lot of things which had been stolen in the burglaries which had been committed.

On finding this property in Allen Lowrie's house Allen, the father, and Bill, the son, were placed under arrest, court-martialed and condemned to be shot to death and the sen tence was executed. This Home Guard was composed of such men as Capt Angus Baker, Rev. J. H. Coble, McKay Sellers, W.

A. Sellars, Archie Patterson, Ar chie Wilkison, Hector J. McLean and others of that same stripe. As above stated, all of these men were old at the time and nothing but pure necessity could have ever made them resort to such measures. And besides, none of them was ever killed by Henry Berry and his gang.

Now as to the cause of the trouble with Henry Berry. He and others were hiding out to keep from working on the forts. (Col. Olds says he was a strip ling of a boy when his father was killed. He was a grown man).

Mr. James Barnes, a good, quite citizen, lived near Allen Lowrie's and some one kept killing his hogs. (In those days hogs and cattle ran at large on the range and each owner had a private ear mark for his stock.) Mr. Barnes went search ot his meat and lound a lot of it in Allen Lowrie's smoke house. He was able to identify it because the heads were there and had his marks on the ears.

He told the old folks to tell the boys that they must quit killing his hogs or he would have to prosecute them. A few days after this he went to the post- office, which was at Capt. W. P. Moore's residence, and as he was returning home late in the afternoon he was shot down from ambush.

After he was down Henry Berry came up to him and was going to shoot him again, but Mr. Barnes begged him not to. as he would die from the shots he had already received He did die, but lived long enough to tell who shot him. This made Henry Berry a murderer and an outlaw. After this he gathered about him his brothers, Steve and Tom, Boss and Andrew Strong (his brothers-in-law) Henderson Oxendine, George Applewhite (a negro) Zack Mc-Lauchlin (white) and some oth ers.

Then they began to rob and murder at will. Then the county of Robeson offered a reward of $2,000 for Henry Berry and for ihe others, ar.d the State offered tor Henry Berry and $5,000 for each of the others. Robbery was the cause of the death of Allen and Bill Lowrie and robbery was the start of the Henry Berry outlaws, and not because they wanted to go into the Confederate Army. A Scotchman. Maxton, July 7, 1908.

WILLIAMS AND THE BOARD. SEA- PROFESSIONAL CARDS Ollici Former Seaboard President to be Returned to His Old Job. Raleiieh Times. Once more the railroad circles in Atlanta and Richmond have heard that Mr. John Skelton Williams, the father of the Seaboard Air Line, is to come into his own again, the present understanding being that the first of March, or possibly the first of the new year, will see the former Seaboard president returned to his old job at the head of the road which he raised from a pale and puny little affair of one division to a position of commanding commercial importance in Virginia and the Carolinas and Georgia.

It is stated, on authority supposed to be more or less competent. that the Ryan element, which has dominated the Seaboard ever since J. fierpont Morgan and his Wall street coterie squeezed Williams out of his control and his office three years ago, has about made up its mind that the best future for this important property is to be gained by put ting it once more in the hands of the man who of all southern railroad builders and opera is in most practical touch and sympathy with the railroad requirements of these four states. The Seaboard receivership, it is known, has not worked out the Seaboard's problems to the entire satisfaction of all the stock holders and other parties at interest, and it is intimated that Mr. Thomas Fortune Ryan is not fully suited with his railroad investment.

He has made more money out of New York trolley roads and New York banks. The progress and profitmaking of the road require a man more fully acquainted with railroad needs and possibilities in this southern field than is any man now con trol through this Morgan-Ryan dynasty, andthatman unquestionably, is John Skelton Williams. It begins to look as though the personal breach between Mr. Williams and the Morgan follow ing, with which he had more or less friction when he was in control of Seaboard affairs before, could be smoothed out. Bygones will have to be bygones for the sake of the road and the money it can make, if judiciously handled, for its owners.

There is not a more brainy or progressive railroad executive in the South than John Skelton W'illiams and if the plans of his friends materialize and the outset of another year sees this clever Richmond railroader restored to his old command by the free act of the men who once forced him from it. there will be a speedy gain in confidence on the part of bus iness men and shippers in at least four states, and North Carolina will share in the general feeling that the Seaboard is once more in the hands of the man best qualified to make it serve, in prompt and efficient manner, the needs of the territory through which it operates. Increase in Freight Rates to Car olina Territory. Washington Dispatch, Cth. A few weeks ago, notice was given by the Southern railways thatan increase of the rates on fresh meats would be made into Carolina territory from Ohio and Mississippi crossings.

1 he inter- State commerce commission has now been informed that a general advance in rates, effective Au gust 1st, will be made by South eastern lines on all commodities, of Southern classification, takin; classes a. (J. and irom unio and Mississippi crossings to al! Southeastern points. Ihe in crease amounts to three cents per hundred on class two cents per hundred on classes and and four cents a barrel on class F. The increases are on packing house products, grain and grain products and hour in sacks and barrels.

While no announcement is made with respect to fresh meats, the rate on them now is based on 10 cents over the rate on class commodities and it is likelv that an additional increase on fresh meats eventually will be made. W. H. KINLAW, Attorney-at Law UlMIiKUTON. N.
