Friends or Hon. Leon Idas Robin
son, former solicitor of this district,
and our retiring Congressman, will
be interested In the following Wash
ington dispatch to the Atlanta Con
stitution: "It is extremely rare that
a member of congress, especially
from the south, voluntarily retires.
On the contrary, the rule is that the
average member, be he poor or rich,
will spend half tkv snlary of a two
year term to get elected or re-elected;
and a great many of them spend
more than the entire salary In their
, campaign for re-election. And yet
there are exceptions to all rules.
While a number of iame ducks'
from the routh will be trudging
around Washington on the evening of
March 4, and among them some of
the ablest men of either house, there
is one democrat rrom the south who
will return to the privacy or his law
office In Wadesboro, N. C, by his
own free-will and accord; for Con
gressman Lennldas Dunlap Robinson,
laywer, farmer, bank president, poli
tician, stalwart democrat and all
round good fellow, lias got enough of
congressional life with Its munificent
salary of $7,500 a year. He prefers
to he a private citizen henceforth
but not, perhaps, 'for evermore.' He
is not college bred, but he has been
amply educated In the school of ex
perience, and when the late Governor
Aycock appointed the then young
country lawyer solicitor of the thir
teenth judicial district, a way back
in 1901, he knew what he was doing; I
and Robinson sprang Into the for- j
front as one of the leading men at 1
the north state bar. He stands there 1
today; and a more affable gentleman ;
God never made!" ;
