I like the depression:
No more prosperity for me.
I have had more fun since the
depression started than I ever had
in ray life I had forgotten how to
live, w hat it m eant to have ret]
friends, what it was to like to e: t
common every-day food Fact is,
I was getting just a little high hat.
Three years ago, only one man of
the New-Globe organization could
be out of town at a tim e and he
had to leave at the last m inute and
get back as soon as possible. Many
times I have driven 100 miles to . a
banquet, sat through three hours of
bunk in order to make a five-minute
speech, then drive the 100 miles
back so as to be ready for work the
the uext morning.
Nowadays as m any News Globe
employees as are invited make
those trips and we stay as long as
we w ant to. T he whole outfit could
leave the office now and it wouldn’t
m ake any difference.
I like the depression. I have
time to visit my friends, to make
new ones. Two years ago when I
went to a‘ neighboring town, I al
ways stayed at the hotel. Now I
go home with my friends, stay all
night and enjoy home cooking. I
have even spent the week-end with
some of the boys who have been
kind enough to invite me.
I t’s great to drop into a store
and feel that .you cau. spend an
hour or two or three or half day
just visiting and not feel that you
are wasting valuable li ne. I like
the depression.
p am getting acquainted w ith my
neighbors In the last six m onths
I have become acquainted with folks
who have been living n ex td o o r to
me for three years. I am follow
ing the Biblical adm onition “ Love
your neighbors ” One of my neigh
bors has one of the 'best-looking
wives I have, ever seen She is a
dandy. I am getting acquainted
with m y neighbors and learning to
love them . :
T hree years ago, I ordered my
clothes from a m erchant tailor—
and three suits at a time. AU my
clothes.were good ones. Iw a s al
ways dressed up. B ut' now, I
haven’t biought a suit in two years.
I am m ighty proud of my Sundav-
go-to-m eeting clothes. W hen I
dress up, I am dressed up and I
don’t mean maybe I like the de
pression.
T hree years agp I was so busy
and my wife.was so busy that we
didn’t see much of each other, con
sequently we sort lost interest in
each other. I never went home, to
lunch.. 'A bout twice a week Lw bnt
home fohdinner—at 6:30 o'clock.
I never had tim e to go anywhere
with her.' I f I did g co n a party,
I could never locate her, since there
was al was a “ blonde" o r a - “ red
head” available I didn’ t m uch wor
ry ab o u t,it.;

W h e n I would come . home al

would already be in heT bed and I
would crawl in mine. Il she came
in first, it was vice versa
W e'like the depression. W e'have
come down off our pedestal and are
really living at my house now. -The
twin beds are stored in the garage
and the old family affair is being
used. W e are enjoying life. In
stead of taking a hot w ater bottle
to bed these cold oigbls, she sticks
her heels in my back, just like 'sbe
did before Hoover was elected. ,
I haven’t been out on a party in
r8 months.. I have lost my book
of telephone num ber. My wife has
dropped all the clubs. I believe we
are failing iu love all over again." I
am pretty well Satisfied with my
wife. T hink I will keep her, at least
until she is forty and then if I. fetl
like I do now, I may trade her for
two twenties.
I am feeling better since the de
pression. I take, more exercise. I
walk to town and a. lot of folks
who used to drive Cadillacs are
w alking with me. I like the de
pression
My digestion is better. I haven’t
been to see a doctor in a -year. I
can eat anvthing I'w aut to.

The Farm Woods Yield
A Good Income.
R. W Graeber, Extension Forester
When I sav, “ The Farm Woods

'S go:ng to disagree Yet m any
eujile w ill be suipiised tu learn
Iust 'wliai the farm woodlands - 111
Davie countv give the farm ers--In
the way of income. According to
rhe latest figures available, the U.
S. Census Report for the year 1929
he harvest of farm forest products
j.he year was as follows: 2,119'000
Board feet of lumber- - and logs.
10,649 cords of fire wood,- 8 906-
fence posts, 1.536 railroad ties.. -
If is raiher difficult to figure the
value of these products because
•iiany of them were used by the
farmer himself. But figured atnthe
common niaiket price at hat lime,
the total value of these- forest :pjo-
dticis to the Davie "county ,tybod-.
.land owners was. about 56,068
dollars . . .; J
T his is quite a sizable-income to
receive in one year from! the. one
portion of .these farm s—the one
crop—which, has received no. care,
uo fertilizers or cultivation, ‘ and
cost only the annual ,tax ox.those
acres. . , : ■
L et’s give the woods an “ eVen-
break,” This is the only part of
the farm that produces a crop w ith
out ca-e, fertilization or cultjva-
ion. In seasons of drought of-ex-
cessive rains it keeps, right: on
growing. L ate or early trosts;j or
m e severest w inter does npt injure
it; W hen all other crops fail,;, the
farm woodland carries on its Job of
producing wood And though -the
owner slashes it to pieces w ith care
less and wasteful cutting, this one
crop comes back for more.
• Certainly, a crop that:w ill.do Il is
deserves encouragtm ent and better,
treatm ent than many farm ers usual
ly give it All it requires i s -pio-
tection from fire and a little ;m oie
care in 1 utting operations. Y our'
County A gent cap tell.you how to
give this crop a "fair chance” in

share of the farm income.

- Editor Record:—If there is any
class of people in the State who un
derstand how to reduce taxes it's the
PARMEKS. I There is but one way
to reduce taxes—reduce expense?.
C m you expect a Legislature filled
up with SHYSTER AND CORPO
RATION LAWYERS to reduce ex
penses or taxes? No one class should
have a m ajority o f-a Legislative
-body. AH classes of the people
should be represented. Davie cout -
ty has a fine opportunity to send a
DIRT FARMER to the 1933 Legis
lature, If the Democrats carry the
county, there is J. D. Hodges, a far
mer to the m anner born. If the R i-
publicans carry the county, there is
a man, A. C Chaffin, raised on the
farm —born on the farm —w hcknows
what the burdens of the farm er are;
I call upon the people of both par
ties to go to the polls next Saturday
Bnd-vVote for a FARMER to' repre
sent us. in the 1933 General Asserr- / -
blv. The farm ers of Davie county
with their wi?es and daughters, can
easily nom inate a farm er for the
House on next Saturday if they will
vote as they pray. If.you fail to do
your whole duty next Saturday,
keep your m outh shut abont lawyers
and Otherclasses ru'ing and making
our laws. This is no tim e for parti-
zin foolishness—the selfish interests
are going to try to take care of
themselves. Will the farm ers of
Davie county arise in their m ight
and say we are going to send a man
to the Legislature who will repre
sent all the people by REDUCING]
THE EXPENSES of STATE. COUN
TY and MUNICIPALITY—or bust.!
The whole world is groaning undtF
the .oppressive load of unbearable'
taxation, placed upon them by sel
fish and designing men. Let’s put
a stop to the conditions th at have
brought about these unbearable bur
dens of taxes. W e have got to think
about the other fellow as well as
ourselves, or ruin and chaos is just
a few steps ahead Do your duty
next Saturday as our forefathers'
did during the Revolutionary war,
and we will overthrow the tax-aa*-
ers and pie hunters. PUT UP, OE
SHUT UP.

THE DAVlfi RECORD, MOCKSVRXfi1 R 6, JtJNi i. «932
Just a Reminder
In the absence of legal authority,
indeed, in direct contravention of
the provisions of the law, a Demo
cratic adm inistration lent $ 2,521,-
121,825 to Europeancountries after
hostilities had ceased. Prior to that
tim e a Democratic adm inistration
had lent-som ething about 9 billion
dollars to Europeon counties, and
in defiance of the plain letter of the
law had accepted as evidence of the.
loan merely the I. O U. of the
various governm ents instead ot their
national bonds. If no money bad
been lent after the Arm estice and
if; the money lent during the war
had been secured as the law requir
ed it to be, ttiere would have Deen
no international debt problem so
far as this country is concerned.
But there was such a problem, for
the reason about stated, and Re
publican adm inistrations were ob
liged to m ake the best settlem ent
they could with European debtors
T hat best settlem ent was to wipe
off the books more than half of the
outstanding obligations and to ac
cept acknowledgm ent of indebted
ness in due form for the remainder.
But now comes Governor Alfred E.
Sm ith, the defeated Democraiic
candidate and proposes that we
"forget” even the comparatively
small am ount our European debtors
have promised to pay. for a period
of twenty years, in the meantime
crediting them 25c on their debts
for every dollar thev spend in A
tnerican m arkets a proceeding
which would entirely cancel the
debt before the tw entv years were
over. If Mr. Smith had been elect
ed President in 1928 and had made
this same recommendation, he pro
bably would have had influence
enough to m ake it effective, and
the Democratic party would thus
have completed its perfect work of
m aking American tax payers foot
the whole bills for- the European
war. In view of the record, it calls
for singular audacity for Defnocra
tic leaders to complain about Re
publican handling of international
debts.
Hoover’s California
Vote.
Only three or four m onths ago
the "sm ear H oover” cam paigneis
wete declaring that the President
had irretrievably IosthisoW n state.
T he folks out in CaJifornia must
have heard that story and decided
to answer it once for all. Aud so
although there w asjio contest to
b ing out the prim ary vote the vot-
] ' rS were there in landslide num bers.
M ore than 50 per cent of the state’s
2,377,71° registered voteis turned
out and 630,000 of them voted for
H oover—119,000 greater than the
combined vote of the three Demo
cratic candidates. G arner, Roose
velt and Sm ith. H oover’s total
was three times greater than the
vote for G arner, more than four
times as large as Sm ith's total.,and
WiS 60,000 votes more than was
given the unopposed Hoover for-
President ticket in 192s.
It seems fairly well proven that
President Hoover has not lost his
ovvu state. .
T he safe man is and always will
he the best- mau.
“Cheer Up”
T he encouraging exhorii »,
"C heer.U p” is the title of a book
let written by • the famous statisti
cian and financier, Roger VV. B-.b-
son, who probably knows as much
Demagogues Need Not
Apply.
From a Kansas farm er come3 a
letter declaring that the office seek
er whether a candidate for.President
or for the state legislature, who goes
before the people this fail offering
a cure-all remedy for hard times will
be laughed off the platform . The
people are do' 2 with the radicals,
declared this w riter. They realize
that this is no tim e to buy a black
bottle remedy for a political quack
doctor. They understand perfectly
th at the only, wav for the country
to get out of the condition it is now
in is.to work itself out along the old,
tim e tried, conservative methods.
They will have nothing to do with
th e man who promises them over
night recovery through the adoption
of some m easure of legislation at
variance with the principles of good
governm ent and sound economics.
T he .day of the radical is over.
The state of mind which, accord
ing to this w riter, prevails in Kansas
almost certainly exists or is rapidly
coming into existence, in all other
parts of the country. The United
States is due in the coming election
to duplicate 1 he experience of Eng
land and Germany. Inbothofthose
countries in their latest elections
radicals went before the people with
their noisy ballyhoo and their pre
scription of new remedies for old ill.
The people instinctively knew that
in the prescence of a great national
crisis it would be fatal to. try rash
experim ents. So in England they
crashed through party lines and laid
aside ancient prejudice in order to
stand by Ramsay MacDonald who
offered them nothing but greater
greater sacrifices for the preserva
tion of the public weal And in
Germany the people turned away
from the radicalism of Hitler to the
solid sense-and the well tried patrio
tism of the old field marshal .Hinder.-

member that in 1929 the uninform

claring another depression to be
impossible simply because we had
eutered an era of p osperitv. These
people are now saying that we are
in a new era of adversity, with
standards oi living at perm anently
lower levels; with science,, inven
tious and discovery baited in their
tracks; with the American people
playing the part of poltroons, in

such idle talk, turn aside from it as
being the chatter of ignorance and
cowardice. W hat we are witness

Vetoes Save Money.
D uring the recent debate iu the
House of Representatives it was in
tim ated that the President was re
sponsible for increase In govern
iuent expenditures and had done
nothing to stop appropiations
T he tru th is .that no President
since ClevelBnd has been forced to
veto as many money bills as has
President Hoover. D uring the last
session of Congress, the President
vetoed I bills which called for large
governm ental expenditures. T he
House overrode two of these vetoes
and incidentally practically tvery
Democratic member voted to do the
over-riding. If the Democratic
party had contributed as many
votes proportionally as were fonud
am ong the Republican members
these two vetoes would have been
sustained. By the vetoes that were
sustained, a total sum of $853,787,-
000 will have been saved by the
end of the next fiscal year. The
two vetoes which were over-ridden
account for som ething like 300 mil
lion dollars of the deficit. Congress
is now trying to deal-with.-
D uring the present session of
Congress the President has vetoed
four money bills and a'l these
vetoes have Ie tn sustained with
the result that many millions of
dollars have been saved to the
Treasury.
It certainly comes w ith an ill
grace from a H ouse which has re
cently passed one appropriation bill
carrying 132 million dollars, an
other for approxim ately 120 million
dollars and is serotisly contem plat
ing another which calls lor an out
lay of 2% billion dollars, all for ex
traordinary purposes uot essential
to the conduct of governm ent—to
accuse the President of extrava
gance, or. of failing to protect to
Naiional Treasury.

Old Libels Renewed.
It is really am azing how lies and
libels that break out in a political
.campaign continue to persist year
ifter" year, although proved a
thousand times to be nothiug but
lies and libeis.
Four years ago the story was
started that on some farm s lie
owned in California President
Hoover employed only foreign la
bor. An em bellishm ent of the
story was to the effect that over
the main entraee to the so called
Hoover ranch in K ern County was
a sign stating: "N o white men
employed on this property.’’ T hat
story was proven false, uot only by
the sworn testim ony of Mr. Hoov
er’s foreman oui by the testim ony
of a commit ec of !lie K eru Coun
ty Labor Council which investi
gated lhe charge. \
Aud now the same story with a
new tw ist is being whispered about
in this campaign. Since it is known
that Mr. Hoover has sold all his
farm property and dees not own a
ranch iu K eru County, the locale
of the libel has been changed so the
report now is that over the entrance
of the Hoover home on Stanford
cam pus hangs a sign reading: "N o
w hite man need apply here. W e
employ only Japs and Filipinos.”
Qt course that story is just as un-
ttue as'the other, and even more
ridiculous.
But now comes an entirely new
story, m anifesting some degree of
originality on the part of the cam
paign liar. T his story conies from
M innesotaand it is to the effect
that the President owns thousands
of acres of vineyards, in California
and tor that reason is interested in
the push that is. being made for
legalizing light wines and beeri.
T he fact that - the President does
own an acre of vineyard, of course,
does not handicap in the least the
liar who started the story.
T here is a very simple, test' by
which the tru th of a statem ent a-
bout.the Piesident of the United
States may be determ ined, ^ If it js
a statem ent w hich if believed
would be dam aging, if it im putes
to the President unw orthy motives,
or business ^dishonesty, or any
course of action that would be con
trary to the cbde of a gentleman
and, a patriot, then it is uot true.
Good Thing—Whoop It
Up-
T he house of Congress has pass
ed a bill designed to guarantee
bank deposits.. T h erew as opposi
Iionj as m ight be expected. But
the people generally have cause ,,to
be cheered. T heexperience of the
past few years has dem onstrated
th e vital need of a banking system,
Public faith is so much im paired—
not because of unreasoning panic
but because of actual happenings—
that is absolutely essential that
Can be given, in a decade will so re
vive faith and confidence in banks,
and w ith that a big jolt to the de
pression, as the positive knowledge
that when the depositor leaves his
money with the bank for safe-keep
iug lie will always find it there
when he goes back to get it: that
depqsitois will be-paid, no matter-
w hat else happens
T he people can help tberasevles,
help on the return of normal busi
ness conditions, if they will begin
dropping their senators a postal card
urging them to do their best to get
the bank guarantee through the
senate, and with littletalk about it.
W e have small respect for th e 'o r
ganized propaganda which m anu
factures sentim ent by asking peo-
people to sign form lettersand tele
gram s, If we were a mem ber of-
Congress we would give little heed
to that industry, w hich is always
active and pretending to represent
sentim ent that isn’t. B ut we
would have our folks who believe
in the guarantee of bank deposits,
as well as them outside the banking
trade probably do, get busy with
th eir senators as citizens who have
a right to voice their will to the re
presentative fn Congress. Repre
sentative as here useed means con

The Lagging Lawyers.
L ooksasif itm ighs be necessary
0 pass a law, one that will autorna
ically enforce itself, to cure the
awyers of lagging, of dilatoriness,
that comes to flower when the court
sits. ■ At almost any term of court,
you may see his honor take his seat
m the bench on time, the high
h erff make proclamation, and then
here is a wait. A few Iawiers may
ie present. Those employed in the
:ase called will come straggling in.
.iot always until they are sent for.
’’hen they must go or send to their
ffices for books or napers, or make
1 search for same. Then they ask
or.tim e to talk to witnesses before
hey can decide w hether they are
•-eady for trial Then after being
illowed tim e to get ready after the
■ase is called, they may decide they
can’t go on; that a witness is ab
sent. and often he hasn't been sum
moned. In fa c t—and this is taking
’acts, not imagination, for which
heir honors are called to bear wit
ness—the bystander m ight think, ob
erving the things mentioned, that
-some of the lawyers hadn’t heard
that a term of court was to be held;
that the fact was called to their at
tention only after his honor was on
the bench and ready to Proce-Id. It.
being against the unw ritten jaw of
court procedure to force a lawyer to
trial if he protested, there are de
lays for hours that count into a day
during a week of court, or until ar-
other day or another term W ith
that dilatory half-hearted way of
doing business, clients have cause to
believe that the lawyer isn’t earning
his money, that he hasn’t studied
their case and isn’t prepared to give
his best service It certainly isn’t a
recommendation to the client who
bslieves that when he’pays his good
money for legal service he is entitled
to I he very best the attorney can do
N o to n ly d o esit impress the by
stander as negligent, slothful and
most indifferent service, but the it -
difference that cau es delav is gross
discourtesy to the court and disre
gard for the public interest. Judges
talk sharp about it at times. Judge
Oglesbv did that at a recent term of
Iredell court. There was a temporary
spur but a this term Judge Schenck
finds the lagging that irks the judge
who wishes to put in a good day’s
work. As a m atter of economy \a
cincies Jn the list of special judges
have not been filled. The regum r
judges have more to do and. those
who give thought to the taxpayers
endeavor to earn : the liberal salary
they are paid to try to put on some
speed only to find their best i Sorts
blocked by lagging lawyers. Is is
discouraging, disturbing. But one
thing the court can do. A fter fe
gets them to work he ean hold them,
on the job. He may not be able to
compel teem to start on one tim e—
and 9:30 a m., is late enough for
anvbodv. B ut his honor can fix the
time of arij iurnm ent In Ruther
ford Superior court last week Judge
Clement kept the court going Satur
day afternoon. This was so unusual
that the news was spread abroad.
Instead of quitting Friday for the
week, and sometimes there is ad
journm ent Thursday or earlier, hiB
honor kept pegging away for a full
week. W hat not? That is no hard
ship.
If a Iegisture undnminated by law
yers could pass'a law that would
autom atically throw a lawyer out 1 f
court--for a season who paid no a'-
tention to- his cases, who did not
exercise due diligence and- waited
until the ease was called to get ready
that would help. Presently he would
have no clients. But you might
think, so indifferent do some of" the
laggards seem about business en
trusted to them, that.thev don’t give
a whoop whether they have business
or not. The difference of lawyers
affects witnesses and others con
nected with the courts; Presently
nobody feels' that attendance on
tim e or at any tim e, is compulsory
They go when it suits and many wait
until Bent for.
We don’t know that Iredell law
yers are different. In fac t we don’t
think they are. We’ve a notion that
th e slofhfulness, the indifference to
business entrusted to them, is a dis-
Toward a Settlement.
T he long long-standing contro
versy surrounding the-appointm ent
of a United States district attorney
for the western district of N orth
Carolina moved w ithin hailing dis
tance of settlem ent Saturday when
Frank C. Patton, who so far as is
know does not happen to.be “ per
sonally objectionable to either ot
l'ar Heel senators, received the de-
c'sive indorsement of the Republi-
c in sta te executive com mittee U r
the(,position ’held by Charles A.
Jonas since March 1931 under'a re
cess appointm ent which lacked of
confirmation. But that, of course,
is another story which elicits va
rious and sundry shades of opinion
W hile the Daily News conceives
that any one of the gentlem an of
the bar nominated at the committee
m eeting m ight have held the im
portant position with credit to him -
s.-If, his paFty and the governm ent,
the other candidates themselves will
likely agree that the group made
no m istake in selecting Mr. Patton.
F or all this household publication
knows, political maneuvers m ay or
may not have entered into his
trium ph; but on the surface the in
dorsement appeared a reward for

which will bring more efficient ser

a cleric—one that can do no good—

the cleric. One of the sm art wets
thought to em barrass Bishop DuBose
by asking him if he would vote for..-
the devil on a dry platform . The.
bishop was <quot to the occasion.
That would be impossible, said the
churchman, since the devil "has a'r,.

is dead, says an old proverb Aud
by the same token it is wise not to
be too extravagant in praise of any
man while he is living. Some folks
wondered back in 1928 how Miss
Nell Battle Lewis, columnist and
lawyer who slings English delight
fully, got that wav about Alfred E.
Smith, the then Democratic nomi
nee for President. She worshipped
as at a shrine. She wonders now
herself. "Sick at he.»ri,” she
writes in the News and Observer,
contemplating how her erstwhile
idol has fallen. "Well,” she a-
bases herself, “I was a fool in ’28—
Ir :admit it—just another one of
those makish sentimentalists who
‘Dm for silly, furtlle kings, And
hail a fire fly as a star.” Makes
her sick now, to read over again
the superlatives, she applied to
Smith back in ’28. He was mightv
nigh a god to her then. She clothed
him with virtues he never possess
ed, and sang paens of praise to an
angel of light and liealing that had
no existence outside her own per-
fervid imagination. ' But she sees
the very ordinary Al now in a
sanfer light. She writes:
“Just what Mr. Smith thinks he
is going to gain bv his present
hostility— or. shall we say teacherv
^-toward a former friend who helj-
ed him to iise I have no idea —
su-ely not the presidency! Butat
least ! can assure him that, what
ever it is, it can never equal in
value what he hns lost in the affec
tion'and admiration of thousands
who thought him noble and now
find him petty, who believed him
great hearted and now discover him
to be of narrow gauge.”
Even those who never rated Al
higher would have thought infinite
ly better of him if he had refrained
from, the dog-in-the manger act
and had been big enough to help a
friend realize an ambition that has
been denied him.
Anent Campaign Ex
pense.
When tne state government de
scends to a level that a man must
be able to expend thousand and
thousand of dollars to run for pub
lic office the government is in a pre
Carious condition.
Who ever heard of a man paying
an employment agency $10,000 for
a #10,000 a year job with no guar
antee of continuing the job beyond
six years? That would be a rather
lirge percentage for the good of
fices of a racketeer in the employ
ment game, to say nothing of a
legitimate percentage for a legal
employment agency.
; Then again, who ever heard of a
candidate who is willing to pay the
equivalent of a year’s salary for a
public job and who did not have
some special interest to represent?
Iri the first place the ordiuary
citizen does not have $10,000 to
spend in seeking an office. There
fore, the custom of spending large
sums in campaigns should - be out-
lawsd, for it operates to deprive
most citizens of their constitutional
right to aspire to public office, and
serves to intimidate persons who
otherwise are thoroughly competent
to.,represent the people..-.
' Again such large expenditures
;serve to corrupt the election mach
inery, for it is a certainty that the
man who reveives $20 $50 or $100
‘'for using his automobile election
day” is going to use his prestige
and position for the one. who fur
nishes the "automobile hire.”
1 It is time this country returns to
,the custom of electing men on a
basis of merit and not because cer
tain c-nes can expend huge cam
paign slush funds and others. can-

Baxter Shemwell Killed.
Lexington, May 31. —The ready
gun of Baxter Sbemwell, one of
North Carolina’s most colorful men,
was forever silenced-when he died
at a local hospital at 10:15 tonight
from a wound received earlier in
the day in a gun fight with David
Sink, I 0 . Boaze and Dr. F. G.
Johnson, the latter two sons in-
1 iws of Mr. Sink, near the front of
t Je Sink store.
The trouble started when Shem-
well went to the Sink store about
8 o’clock iu the morning 10 “settle”
a $120,000 mortgage on bis proper
ty in Asheville, which Mr. Sink
held and on which foreclosure pro
ceedings were recently. started.
Shemwell was armed with two guns
when he entered the building.
Tbegun playthat followed be
tween Shemwell Mr. Sink, and
Mr. Sink sons in law left the 74-
year old Mr. Shemvvell fatally
wounded with a bullet in the lower
part of his abdomen; J. 0. Boaze,
one of the sons-in law, with a lead-
pierced hand, the other son-in-law
Dr. F. G. Johnson, unscathed.
Houses and automobiles near the
front of Mr. Sink’s store in the
heart of Lexingtnn were sprayed
with bullets.
James R. Garfield To
Build Platform.
Washington To James R. Gar-
fieid of Ohio. President Hoover has
entrusted the task of compiling the
platform upon which he and the
Republican pirtv will wage this
year's campaign.
Garfield is to be chairman of the
convention’s resolutions committee,
and as such began assembling the
numerous piatforn suggestions al
ready drawn by G 0 . P. Stalwarts
He conferred at the white-house
and the capitol, promised to call
again and parried all questions on
the controversial platform issues,
such as’prohibition, with nothing
more than a smile.
Son of the president who was as
sassinated in 1881, Garfield was
politically active in the progressive
wing of the party up to 19-12 when,
after leading in Theodore Roose
velt’s bull moose split, he retired
to private life.
A Fine Example.
Liberal News
The News was never a Hoover
worship, in fact the man never ap
pealed very stroegly to us until in
recent months. We could have
picked a dozen men we’d have pre
ferred for President without having
named ourself as one of the lot. but
since - he whole world has gone a-
way and our own nation has landed
on financial shoals, the likes of
which have never been experienced,
we have formed a new opinion of
our President He hasn’t complain
ed, scolded or lamented as he has
witnessed matters go,.from bad to
worse Juntil they must have been
hard to endure, indeed. Many times
he has been the goat for conditions
over which he positively has had no
control.
But through it all he has worked
hard. UntringIy1 faithfujly. Trying
to make a Senate House, whose
members are sheltered from the fin
ancial storm by warm-time salaries,
see the necessities of doing some
thing has been one gigantic task,
but he sets a worthy example in of
fering to cut his own salary to $1
which cannot fails to convince any
one as to the seriousness he is evid
encing for practical economy. Likc-
wiseit sh o u ld be a powerful, incen
tive to Congress to actually do Borne
real economizing, no mater whom it
hits. The man or men who won’t
their part in this great crisis lack the
fine patriotism and sense of fairness
and justice which the President is
setting for all of us. He has-estab
lished a splendid example of doing
the big thing at the right time. He
may not be reelected, but he made
a ten-strike in that more that will''
weigh mightily in his favor with
millions of folks who hadn’t been
able to “see” President Hoover to
date ’5:.‘
We like a leader who 'has the in
testinal investiture to point out the
wav and set the"pace. The News is

Bowie Flays Morrison
West Jefferson. June 7.—Ques
tioned tonight as to the report that
he would support Robert R. Rey
nolds as against Senator Cameron
Morrison in the second primary for
the United States senate, Judge
Tam C. Bowie who was an unsuc
cessful candidate for the- nomina
tion in Saturday’s primary, issued
the following statement:
“It istruejthat I shall siippor'
Reynolds. I shall do this for teas
ons which to me seem sufficient, ' I
have not altered my position- of a
lifetime favorable to proaibition.
but I consider prohibition a moral
and not a political issue,- and I pre
fer a man whose moral convictions
differ from mine to a man who an
nounces he has no convictions that
he cannot change to fit his party
platform.
“My further reasons are these:
First, a majority of about 75,000
North Carolina democrats have
now declared themselves against
continuing Morrison in the senate.
Following Thomas Jererson’s time
honored theory, I shall go along
with the majority. Second, u,y
convictions on taxation are such
that I cannot follow a man who de
clares a system the most perfect in
existence under which . buildings
are being torn down in his home
city of Charlotte to escape the bur
dens it imposes and who opposition
to revaluation of property for taxa
tion and to the removal of the ad
valorem tax for schools has aided
in retaining those burdens under
changed conditions that make them
destructive almost to every founda
tions of society. I think that Sen
ator Morrison himself would be stir
prised to receive the support of the
taxpayers thus burdened.”
Legislators Cannot Fool
Constituents.
During everv session of the North
Carolina General Assembly, ugly
reports are circulated over the
state about members of the law
making body indulipg too freely in
intoxicating liquors, besides com
mitting immoral acts—some of them
going so far as to neglect to duties
for which they are paid aud expec'«
ed to attend to.
A visitor to Winston Salem re
cently stated -that , while some'of
these reports may not be true, still
he believed that the representatives
who are sent to Raleigh every two
years to help make laws that are cf
advantage to the greatest number
of people, should be reminded that
they “are not fooling their consti
tuents by drinking and doing other
things that are not countenanced
by the better class 0 f people.
“I venture to say that not one .of
these legislators have been able to
keep their unholy acts from their
home people,” stated this visitor
who declared that in the past there
have been too many ugly reports
coming out of Raleigh about the
law-makers and that he believed
that time had arrived for the news
papers of the state to let the people
of North Carolina knows about the
acts performed by those members
of the Assembly sent there and
who are supposed to obev the laws
already enacted. —Winston Sentinel

striking figures in comparing sala
ries and cotton- prices, showinf
that the salary that would liayi
bought a certain number of -bale-
ot cotton three years ago wouli
buy three times as many bales now
AU of which is true, but the Ga
zrtte stop short of explaining how
many bales of cotton the earner o-
the modest salary or the small wag:
of today can consume, and does not
point out how such a person ma*.
contrive to put his salary into cheap
cotton, which he might hold a-
gainst the day when cotton goe;
back to a profitable price.
The cbiefweaknessof the com:
parison lies in the fact that the-
per cent of salaries that reniait
30W at the point they were three
years ago, or two years ago, is per
baps so small as to be almost in
calculable That person who has
escaped, one, two or three salary
or wage cuts during the past three
years is about as rare as he or she'
is lucky. There are afew iu this
fortunate position, and they .ap
pear conspicuous. But let Us not
torget that when we speak of the
salary and wage earners as a class
we are really talkiLg about a group
of folks whose earnings have been
slashed decidedly, and in many
cases below the breaking point.
Yes, is the salary of wage earner
could, guage his necessary expenses
on the basis of the. cheap cotton
the farmer sells he might get along
very well; But how much Has been
cut from the cost of the freight he
pays on every manufactured, article
he uses? Is he paying less rates
for lights, gas, Oil or coal, for tele
phone rentals, doctor bills, drugs
ana medicines, for the water he
driuks and bathes in, for firbinsur
ance, for life iusurauce and for
numerous other things that his
family lequires? Thousands and
tens of thousands of salary and
wage earners.built or bought homes
before they took the cuts. - Are
they.paving less interest, smaller
payments of building and loan or
less installments of principal to try
and . lift-the old mortgage? And
they are trying to . pay for some
thing that cost almost double what
it could be provided for now. and
pay out of greatly reduced income.
And lheit taxes, street assesemenis
and other fixed charges are as high
as ever.
Ifthe salary and wage earner
could take full advantage of lower
prices in certain commodities it
would be a great help to business
Hisdollar would buy more .'cloth
ing and more food and would help
rid the farmer and the factoiy own
et of their surplus. But bv the
time the unreduced necessary ex
penses have taken.a. whack at hint
he finds it necessary to ■ buy less
clothing and less food, despite^ -the
price reduction' in those things—
price reductions that would be 'still
larger but for the fact that the
manufacturer, the wholesaler and
the retailer are also forced to meet
so many uncurtailed fixed expenses
before thev can benefit by the pre
vailing reductions ■
One: of the. candidates !or office
in the state campaign makes a take
off on hoarding by asking "who in the hell is he talking aDOUt?” This
does not mean that some are not
hoarding'; but it is not the average
man. Somesalaryaud wage- ear-
j tiers may be haDpilv placed, but no
observant person would: hardly

In the old days- when standard
ime was unknown in the cojintry
ode, wheu there were few tele
rrapb offices to f urnish the correct
time from Washington daily, and
he few didn’t, the people in'tin
ural districts generally measured
the time by the sun. The rail
roads operated on standard tim<
and there was a distinction between
“railroad time” and "sun time.”
Iuraldwellerstook the hours of
.nnrise and sunset from ihe alma
nc, which suspended by a string
itt from a nail on the chimney jam
inder the mantel .price (beard)
and set ,their clocks accordingly. Il
here was no time piece in the
house they cut a notch in the door
way or some convenient place,
where time was marked by the sun
ind a guess. On cloudy days it
was all guess.
It was back in the'ancient tirnt
when the sun: was the dependence
for the time of day that the >aw-
makers fixed the hours fot ballot
ing on election day between - the
hours of sunrise and sunset. And
oecause the fathers fixed it thai
way it has ever since been regarded
is sacred here in North Carolina,
is something that must not. be
changed, regardless of the lengto
of the daylight hours, the modem
changes that permit visiting the
polls in a short, time and thus
up the bollotiug. So it is that
when the primary election is held
in June there are about 14 1 2
hours between sunrise and sunset
Evetybody knows that 14 hours is
much more time than necessary for
casting the ballots. Keeping the
polls open all day wouldn’t mat er
so much, even if there is no good
reason for it, if it didn’t delay the
count and thus delay the. election
returns. With a long ballot, such
isihe numberof candid »tes made
uecessary in Saturday's primary,
the counting is tendious and much
time is required. So it was that
the morning papers of Sunday with
returns returns received up to mid
night, could give official returns
received up . to midnight, could
give official returns from less than
one sixth of the precincts in the
State; and one could only guess at
the possible result by the number
of votes reported for each candidate
where the count had been- complet
ed. Next day being Sunday faci
lities for getting reports were great1
Iy reduced by !curtailed telegraph
service and the general suspension
of business.
Thus there are two unreasonable
handicaps that delay election re
turns for no sound reason. At the
Novemberelectipn the time between
sunrise and sunset is a little more
than ten hours The polls will
close about 5 O’clock, aud with a
shorter ballot, as there will be only
two candidates for each office in
stead of three, four or an uulimited
number as may be in the primary,
the. count can be complet d early
in the evening and near complete
returns published* next day
The polls for the pnmiry elec
tion should not be kept open- long
er than ten hou-s. That ii amp e
lime for every voter to cast his
ballot—more than enough time if
the voters attend to that duty
promptly. The polls should close
at 5 o'clock m the evening, or not
later than 6 The period for voting
should be reduced, in the inteiest of
Iiumamtv and an accurate count-.
It is unjust to require election of
ficials, oivduty at the polls all day
to spend a good nart of the night
counting the ballots when the job
could be completed a couple of
hours earlier bv the earlier closing
of the polls. They . may get too
tired to take pains with the court,-
wearied as they ■ roust be. Since
ten liours is-the time for the Nov!
ember election, wheu there is usu
illy a much larger voie, it, doesn’t
niake sense to observe sun time for
voting on a June day: Also the
lay of the primary should be
•hinged from Saturday for public
•ohveuience in getting reports of
it the.rteurns. The politician who
Ixed Saturday as the day had the
notion that more people wouid at
end the election on: Saturday, as
the farmers and- industrial workers
generally take -Saturday afterro on
iff to attend to their private affairs.
Looks well enough on its face, but
the Saturday theory fails- down in
the face of the fact that our regu
lar elections are always - on Tues
day, when the vote is much heavier.
Thedav of the primauy' should
be changed and the hours of voting
reduced. Tbeprtsentarrangement
doesn’t make sense. There is no
excuse for it except that in North
Carolina voting has always been

Bank Clerk^and Soda
Jerkfer Discuss Kind
of Girl to Marry
Elizabeth City Independent.
“You know, this spring weather is
having its effect on nip; I am again
thinking about getting married.” It
wa3 the Soda Jerker speaking.
“Well, whv don’t you go on and
get marrieo?''said the Bank Clerk.
It costs less to support a.'wife today
than at any time in your lifetime or
mine; thev are’ all dieting and takes
little to feed ’em; they wear no
clothes to Speak of and it costs little
to dress ’em; there are no laundry
bills to speak of because their clothes
own clofhes in a basin of water be
fore going to bed ”
“Yeah!”, said the Soda Jerker,
“but it takes a lot to pay their beau
ty parlor and drug store bills and
keep them in money for the soda
fountains and movies.”
‘ Well, don’t marry that kind of -a
girl. Get out in the country and
marry one of these Foui-H Club
girls. The country’s full of them.
There you’ll find the real home
makers; clean, healthy, wholesome,
red-blooded girl who know how to
made a home; girls who know how
to make beds, decorate their homes,
make their own dresses and hats,
can fruit and vegetables. Girls who
not only how to fry chicken, but
who know how to raise their own
chickens. Girls who noL only know
how to do things, but who get a real
kick out of the joy of doing things.
And take them as a whole, they are
not just old fashioned girl; they are
just about the most modern and up-
and-coming girls in the .land today:
girls oif such outstanding personality
and intelligence that they can bold
their own in any company. and ask
no odds of anything.’’
"Thai’s just i-!” wailed the Soda
Jerker; “these moderon county girls
with ail of their vocational training
and-dabbling Ir. economics and such
things are just too durned smart for
a biid like me. -From what I'veaeen
of ’em, thev not only how to-manage
cows and. pigs and chickens, but they
know too much about managing men
folks. I want to be tue boss when I
get married, and there Bin’t no
chance for a fellow to boss one of
these new kind 0’ country galSi
they’re juBt too darned smart and
know too much for a plain, ordinary
fellow like me. I’d as soon trade
places with a worker beerin: a hive
as to be hooked up wiLh one of these
'Four-H Club girls.
“Why, if one ’em has a hen that
ain’t laying but once a week, they’ll
coddle her, fuss over and stuff, her
until they, make her lay an egg aday
or they’ll wring-her neck and sell
her on the Curb Market. If they’ve
got a cow that ain’t giving but three
gollons of milk a day. they won’t let her rest until she gives six or
they’ll send her to market. And if a bull yearling ain t got enough pep
to suit ’em. they’ll make a steer out of him arid fatten him for beef. /Nd.
sii! I’m taking life pretty easy as is; I’d like to have a woman all my own'—ur<that’s the way Tm feeling
rig h t- now—but I ain’t hankering
after being owned by a woman.”' “Well.” said the Bank Clerk, “if you ever get married you’ll be own

Bowie Flays Morrison
West Jefferson. June 7.—Ques
tioned tonight as to the report thai
he would support Robert R. Rey
nolds as against Senator Cameron
Morrison in the second primary for
the United States senate, Judge
Tam C. Bowie who was an unsuc
cessful candidate for the- nomina
tion In Saturday’s primary, issued
the following statement:
“It is truejthat I shall suppor
Reynolds. I shall do this for reas
ons which to me seem sufficient, I
have not altered my position- of a
lifetime favorable to proaibition.
but I consider prohibition a moral
and not a political issue,-and I pa
ter a man whose moral convictions
differ from mine to a man who an
nounces he has no convictions that
he cannot change to fit his party
platform.
“My further reasons are these:
First, a majority of about 75,000
North Carolina democrats have
now declared themselves against
continuing Morrison in the senate.
Following Thomas Jererson’s titre
honored theory, I shall go along
with the majority. Second, n,y
convictions on taxation are such
that I cannot follow a man who de
clares. a system the most perfect in
existence under which .. buildings
are being torn down in bis home
city of Charlotte to escape the bur
dens it imposes and who opposition
to revaluation of property for taxa
tion and to the removal of the ad
valorem tax for schools has aided
in retaining those burdens under
changed conditions that make them
destructive almost to every founda
tions of society. I think that Sen
ator Morrison himself would be sur
prised to receive the support of the
taxpayers thus burdened.”
Legislators Cannot Fool
Constituents.
During everv session of the North
Carolina General Assembly, ugly
reports are circulated over the
state about members of the law
making body induling too freely in
intoxicating liquors, besides com
mitting immoral acts—some of them
going so far as to neglect to duties
for which they are paid and expec-.
ed to attend to.
A visitor to Winston Salem re
cently stated -that while some of
these reports may not be true, still
he believed that the representatives
who are sent to Raleigh every two
years to help make laws that are tf
advantage to the. greatest number
of people, should be reminded that
they “are not fooling their consti
tuents by drinking and doing other
things that are not countenanced
by the better class 0 f people.
'T venture to say that not one .of
these legislators have been able to
keep their unholy acts from their
home'people,” stated this- visitor
who declared that in the past there
have been too many ugly reports
coming out of Raleigh about the
law-makers and that he believed
that time had arrived for the news
papers of the state to let the people
of North.Caroliua knows about the
acts performed by those members
of the Assembly sent there and
who are supposed'to obev the laws
already enacted. —Winston Sentinel

Who Are You Talkins
About?
Tbe Gastofiia Gazette gives sonu
striking figures in compating sala
ries and cotton prices, showinj
that the salary that would bay<
bought a certain number of bale-
of cotton three years ago wouh
b.uv three times as many bales,now
All of which is true, but the Ga
zrtte stop short of explaining how
many bales of cotton the earner o-
the modest salary or the small wagt
of today can consume, ami does not
point out how such a person ma>
contrive to put his salary into cheap
cotton, which he might hold a-
gainst the day when cotton goe;
back to a profitable price.
The chief weakness of the com
parison lies in the fact that the
per cent of salaries that remaii
aow at the point they were three
years ago, or two years ago, is per
haps so small as to be almost in
calculable That person who has
escaped, one, two or three salary
or wage cuts during the past three
years is about as rare as he or she'
is lucky. There are a few in this
fortunate position, and they ep
pear conspicuous. But let us not
torget that when we speak of the
salary and wage earners as a class
we are really talking about a group
Of folks whose earnings have been
slashed decidedly, and in many
cases below the breaking point.
Yes, is the salary of wage earner
could guage his necessary expenses
on the basis of the. cheap cotton
the farmer sells he might get along
very well: Btitr how much has been
cut trom the cost of the freight he
pays on every manufactured article
he uses? Is he paying less rates
for lights, gas, Oil or coal, for tele
phone rentals, doctor bills, drugs
ana medicines, ’ for the water he
drinks and bathes in, for nreinsur
ance,' for life iusurance and for
numerous other things that his
family lequires? Thousands and
tens of thousands of salary and
wage earners.buiit or bought homes
before thev took the cuts. Are
they.'paving less interest, smaller
payments oi building and loan or
less installments of principal to try
and . lift- the old mortgage? And
they are trying to^ pay for some .
thing that cOst almost double what
it could be provided for now/ and
pay out of greatly reduced income.
And tlieii taxes, street asseseinents
and other fixed charges are as high
as ever.
If the salary and wage earner
could take full advantage of lower
prices in certain commodities it
would be a great help to business
His dollar would buy more cloth
ing and more food and would help
rid the farmer and the factory own
er of their surplus. But bv the
time the unreduced' necessary ex
penses have taken.a whack at him
Be finds it necessary to. buy less
clothing and less food, despite'the
price reduction'in those things—
price reductions that would be ttill
larger but for the fact that the
manufacturer, the wholesaler arid
the retailer are. also forced to meet
so many uncurtailed fixed expenses
before they can benefit by the ' pre
vailing reductions
One of the candidates for office,
in the state campaign makes a ta,ke
off on hoarding by asking “who in
the hell is he talking aoout?” This
does not mean that some are not
hoarding1; but it is not the average
man. Pome salary and wage "ear
j tiers may be haopilv placed, but no
observant person would . hardly
make the application general or in
elude more than a minority whose
number is so small -that they can
have little effect on business coudi
tions geneially.
I If the buying power of the mil
lions who are consumers but not
..producers of commodities had not
been seriously crippled, commodity
j prices, controlled by supply, and

The Dispatch <
Bank Clerk*, and Soda
Jeiker Discuss Kind
of Girl to Marry
Elizabeth-City Independent.
"You know, this spring weather is
having its effect on rne; I am again
thinking about getting married.” It
was the Soda Jerker sneaking.
“Well, whv don’t you' go on and
get marrieo?” said the Bank ClgrI.
It costs less to support a wife today .
than at any time in your lifetime or
mine; thev are all dieting and takes
little to feed 'em; thev wear no
clothes to speak of and it costs little
to dress ’em; there are no laundry
bills to speak of because their clothes
own clothes in a basin of water bi -
fore going to bed ”
“Yeah!” said the Soda Jerker,
“but it takes a lot to pay their beau
ty parlor and drug store bills and
keep them in money for the soda
fountains and movies.”
“Well, don’t marry that kind of -a
girl. Get out in the country and
marry one of these Fout-H Club
girls. The country’s full of, them.
There you’ll find the real home
makers; clean, healthy, wholesome,
red-blooded girl who know how to
made a home; girls who know how
to make beds, decorate their homes,
make their own dresses and hats,
can fruit and vegetables. Girls who
not only how to fry chicken, but
who know how to raise their own
chickens. Girls who not. only know
bow to do things, but who get a real
kick out of the joy of doing things.
And take them as a whole, they are
not just old fashioned girl; they are
just about the most modern and up-
and-coming girls in the ,land today:
girls oif such outstanding personality
and intelligence that they can hold
their own in any company and ask
no odds of anything.”
“Thai’s just i!” wailed the Soda
Jerker; “these inoderon county girls
with ail of their vocational training
and-dabbling in economics and such
things are just too durned smart for
a bird like me. From what I've:seen
of ’em, thev nut only how toihariage
cows and. pigs and chickens, but they,
know too much about managing men
folks. I want to be toe boss when I
get married, and there ain’t no
chance for a fellow to boss one of
these new kind 0' country gals,
they’re juBt too darned smart and
know too much for a plain, ordinary
fellow like me. I’d as soon trade
places with a worker bee,iii- a hiva
as to be hooked up with one of these
"Four-H CJub girls.
“Whv, if one ’em has a hen that
ain’t laying but once a week, theylll
coddle her, fuss over and stuff, her
until they make her lay an egg a day
or they’ll wring-her neck and sell
her on the Curb Market. If they’ve
got a cow that ain’t giving but three
gollons of milk a day. they won’t
let her rest until she gives six, or they’ll ssnd her to market. And if. a bull vearling ain t got enough pep
to suit ’em. they’ll make a steer 'out of him arid fatten him for beef. No, sit! I’m taking life pretty easy as is; I’d like to have a woman all , my own—or-that's the way I'm feeijng
right- now—but I ain’t hankering after being owned by a woman.”' "Well,” said the Bank Clerk, "if you ever get married vou’ll be qWr- ed by a woman all righi; don’t kid yourself men may marry for love, but w< men marry to uosses a man.”

can’t get Catn they will take Bob.
..'•As we- have remarked once or
twice before there is always some
thing; to be thankful for Jim.
Harf ness was defeated for Secretary
ot State in the June primary.
Halifax county gave Bob Rey
Dolds1 a majority of 4,000 votes.
Soingi thirty years ago the demo
cratic cry was to carry Halifax and
savethe state. Seems that Halifax
went democratic June 4th, but the
wrong wing of the party got it.
► ’The Record told the democrats a
few weeks ago that they would be
surprised when the Reynolds votes
were counted. They were not only
surprised, but were dumbfounded.
Some of them will never fully re
cover from the shock.
Cam Morrison said in one of his
pre. primary speeches that about
the only way to deal with his ap
ponents would be tc use a baseball
. bat on them, or words to that effect.
Wonder if the friends ot Bowie and
Frank Grist won't use the same
kind .of an instrument on Cam in
tb.e.next primary.
Second primaries are mightv ex
pensive propositions. In nine cases
ottt' of ten the high man wins out
in’the second primary. We don’t
kn6w what another primary would
cost the taxpayers of the state, but
they are already overburdened with
taxes now. With 1823 registrars
to pay; 3646 judges to pay,, not
Counting the clerks, the grand to
tal would run up to around' seventy
or eighty thousand dolUrs.

: vjf has been said of old that a pro

always the case.' In the recent pri

of South Calahaln, one of the. Re-
-piiblican candidates for sheriff, re

orjoo votes cast. The people in

and'have known him since child
hood. This big vote shows what
his neighbors and friends think of.
liim.: No other candidate for bfficc
in Daviecounty has ever received
such, a Iarge1 vote so far as we can
learn.
Most of: the-democratic papers
class Cam Morrison as an ardeni

Give Us Half of What
Is Promised
' Williamstowti Enterprise
If the office seekers do half what
they are promising, we art going to
have the best government the world
has ever known. Some of them are
even going so far that thev are go
ing to give the wets liquor while
keeping the country dry for the pro
hibitionists Someof them are going
to take all the taxes off and pay the
grocery bills of everybody with less
than $12,000
Now, voters remember that one of
the weakest things about pre-elec-
tiorrpromises is that they are not, or
at least thev have not been hereto
fore, binding contracts. So you had
belter have the candidates give you
their promises in writing, and sign
ed by two or more witnessess. You
wiltmeed this testimony all along
• through the coming years because
the lines ate going to be .pulled
tighter than ever in both our state
an d national legislature bodies.
Tfhey are going to be besieged by
regiments of lobbyists to swing
them from the promises they are
nour making to the people to special
service of the fellows they are now
denouncing.

Time To Stop Boasting.
Thefollowingis a little percen'-
age comparison Mr Morrisnnmade
a speech in New Bern. May iO, 1932:
in which he is reported to have said.
"North Carolina is the best govern
ed state in America, I think It is
is getting better government at
liwercost than any other state in
the union.” This remark of the dis
tinguished senator covers consider
able territory and brings on more
talk.
• A special of the same date to the
Greensboro Daily New's from its Ra-
legib correspondent gave an account
of the visit of Governor Gardner and
the state treasurer to New York to
get some millions of state notes re-
newewed if possible. After consi
derable palaver they were successful
in their mission by promising to pay
6 per cent on the notes. The report
er seemed to think that North Ciro-
Iina was fortunate in being able to
borrow money at 6 per cent.
Three days after this reporter
gave the results of the New York
trip to the public one of the largest
and most reliable brokerage con
cerns in this country wrote to a
modest manufacturing concern
whose business is well managed and
thade' the following offer without
solicitation; 'Tf you have any finan
cial requirements at present we
Bhould.be glad to receive your paper
which he can handle today at 2f to
3 per cent"depending on maturity.”
If a weil managed furniture plant
'in North Carolina can borrow money
to meet its needs on its own notes at
3. per cent why should the state,
in the union according to Senator
,Morris, have to pay.6 per cent on its
noses? It is about time to stop
boasting about the glorious adminis
tration of public affairs in the Old
North State. It would be better for
all patriots to try to find some way
to remedy the sad mistakes of the
past. — Aristocrat, in Greensboro
News. •
Old Bills And Hoarders
The old fashioned, large sized
bills which constituted the paper
money of the United States until a
lew years ago have practically dis
appeared from circulation. Most
of us do not see one of those bills
from one year’s end to another.
It comes as a surprise, therefore,
to learn from Representative Coch
ran. Missouri, that no less than
$538,000,000 of this large sized
money is still in circulation.
That, perhaps, is hardly the way
IOput it. It isn’t in circulation; it
is-being 'hoardbd. If it were 111
clrqplition. it would vanish,, for
"wfrenever Ondv ofr those bills. Jauds
in a: bank it is retired and replaced
by a small sized ,note.
The campaign against hoarding,
evidently, still has quite a wav to
go. if halt a billion in the old fash
ioned paper money is still reposing
in private caches.—Salisbury Post.
Aswe understand it, a Chinese
bandit is any Chinese who doesn’t
move fast when a Jap speaks. —Key
\Vest (Fla) Citizen;
A Good Boost.
According to a news story in the
New York Times, Banner Elk de
serves to occupy a high place in
the hall of fame. Mayor J. C. Shell
is authority for the statement that
in four years as a head of the muni
cipality, no arrests have beeu made
and that the town owes no money
and operates with a 40 cent - tax
rate. The single cop’s sole duties
are to watch nut for sanitary condi
tions and look after the streets
The mayor’s report goes further
and says: “There are no bootleg
gers, no domestic troubles occur,
no petty thieves menace property
owners and the slanderous tongue
of gossip has ceased to wag.”
Truly Banner Elk is a good place
in which tp live. Balancing the
budget is a phrase that is yiddish
to the good people up there, and if
some outsider undertook to pull off
a petting party, the probabily is
that a lynching party would be or
organized forthwith.
It was a good story the New
York paper carried, and the long
list of advantages cOtalogued indi
cate that if North Carolina stands
in need of a press agent, Banner
Elk doesn’t. Twoiniportantitems
were omitted, however the fact that
it is the ancestral home of dor good
friend George Banner, and further,
that excellent trout streams ripple
merily along nearby.
Banner Elk is a delightful'Tittle
town cached away in the mountains
of western North Carolina where a
future playground for citizens of
the east is in the making. If from
the wide circulation of the out
standing paper in America any
number of persons are attracted to
the town because of the article, it
will be no more than Banner Elk
deserves, particularly so if the may
or has doped out his boost conect-
jly.—ElkinTribune.
Purchase Of Votes.
Iola (Kan.) Register
There is probably Iittle doubt that
the greatest single waste in govern
ment is representated by the appro
priation which are, in the last an
alysis, nothing more than a purchase
of-votes by the legislature and at
the expense of the tax payers.
If the two billion dollar bonus pay
ment bill is passed by Congress, will
i: be because each Congressman
honestly believes that the best inter
ests of the country at large will this
be best served? Or will it be noth
ing more than a gigantic purchase
of the good will and votes of a few
million ex-service men?
Why is it that it is worse than
pulling teeth for the Congressmen to
gether on an adequate economy prt •
gram? It is because they don’t re -
Iize it importance and think that we
really needy all the bureaus, salaries
pplitical appointees that" infest the
government, or is it because they
are afraid of the votes they wjll lose
if they do not continue to spend"the
money necessary to keep these people
and their friends.and supports in
line?
The pressure on Congress to pass,
expensive legislation for the benefit
of minority groups is terrific and
constant In the,! main; perhaps it
may be admitted that the . members
do well to resist as much of it as
they do

that there isno God. They shall ni t

“The men of North Carolina ought
not to help the bootlegger and they
ought not to drink his stuff. They
ought to obey they eighteenth a-
mendment and every other law. I
cannot enforce this law without the
help of every good citizen.
"I believe th e old fashioned
whipping posts would go good for
certain crimes A hanging on Inde
pendence Fquare instead of almost
secret executions by electrocution
would stop murders in Cnarlotte_We
must put away these dastardly
fiends who would destroy us.”
Oaiy last week a prominent citizen
of Statesville suggested that a whip
ping post conveniently placed on
the court house lawn, where viola
tors of the law could be taken for
fivt-.en twenty lashes instead of as
many dollars in fiiies, would, would
have a better'effort than anything
else that-could be done. Young
bloods who insist on violating the
prohibition laws, manage to dig. up
the fine money, and dismiss the of
fense, with a smile, but they could
never take chances on a whipping
publicly administered. He would
have the words, “suspended sent
ence” strickeq from use, and would
insist on twenty lashes ; meaning
twenty, and not nineteen.

Children at the White
House.
Public business was laid asie at
the White House the other day
when three little children, ranging
from ten to-tbirteen, aske for their
father who, they insisted had been
wrongfully sent to prison. The
young ambassadors; two girls and
a boy, who had- come all the wav
from Detriot,. were admitted at
once into the President’s private
office and when they come out a
gain they were all aglow with the
greeting they had received. .
He shook bands with us all when
we went in. I thought a President
was very stern, but he wasn’t a bit.
He gave us all a oicentennial Dio.”
Thus the girls of thirteen reported
the interview'. Then the bov of
ten broke in "He patted me on
the head,” he said. Apparently
nobody heard him. “Isaid he pat
ted.me on the head,” the boy re
peated iu a voice that carried all
over the reception room.
It is certain that the President
did not ask tnat any law be violat
ed or any court decision set aside
because three little children asked
him to get their father out of jail.
But it is equally certain that he had
the mater promptly and' carefully
looked into to see whether or not
the man was propeily a prisoner.
The appeal of a child is something
the present President of the United
StatessIsimplv caD’t resist.
Bounty On Snakesr
Hunter Kills 232
Snake stories may come and
snake snake stories may go, but
this one sounds like it ought to
have a couple of pink elephants
mixed up in it somewhere. Never
theless, it’s true.
Sportsmen of Surry, Wilkes and
Alleghany counties have placed a
two-ceut bounty on the heads of
water snakes thus offering "every
one with a flare for snake killing
ati opportunity to get rich,.and one
Charlie Shepherd, of Straforcf. has
evidently availed himself thereof.
For Game Warden R. D. Gentry
of Wilkes, Ashe and Alleghany,
was calmly ieposing in his office, a
few days hen^e, when the door
opened. This, in itself, wasn’t
much to get excited about for .the
door frequently opens, but what
got the game warden excited (and
here’s wliAe the snakes come in),
was a bag filled with the ueads of
232 snakes in the hands of She
.pherd—all killed-in one week I
There were big snakes and little
snakes and middle-sized- snakes,
and rumor has it. that Mr. Shep

$4.64, went wiggling out the door
in search of even more. Will some

Something Speeded ’Em
Up
Democratic apologists were quick
to deny that the President’s message
personally delivered to the Senate,
had anything to do with acceleral-.
ing the passage of the taxation bill:
"We had already decided to pass it.
that night.’’'"they declared. Never
theless, it isn’t customary for the
Senate hard working as it is, to sit
until 1:00 in the morning after hav
ing met at 10:00 the day before.
Also it is not. customary for a con
ference committee on a tax"bill ,to
reach an agreement in thirteen
hours, as the conference committee
did -on this tax bill. That beats even
the good time that was made in the
most urgent days of the war period.-
The President’s Big Stick may not
have speeded things- up in-either
House or Senate; butit certainly did
not slow them down.
Almost everyone is floundering;
over the tax problem. Most every
one is thinking of himself.
Some Contemptible
Election Methods.
A few days before the primary
the WinstonSalem .Journal in
speaking of the change made by
Lieuteuant Governor Fountain that
the State Highway Commission
force under the leadership of
“Czar” Jeffress was being lined up
and were working in the interest-of
Ehringhaus for Governor said:
“Any politician, governineut de
partment head or private citizen of
influence or affluence who hangs
the sword of Damocles over the
head of his employees and demands
that they vote for this candidate or
that deserves the most serve con
demnation of which the voting pub
lie is capable of administering. To
hint that such a condition exiets in
this state or within, any of. its .sub
divisions is not only a matter of
charge and deniel but also a matter
for thorough iesearch and investi
gation.
“With the establisment of the
Australian ballot in this state, it is
to be hoped that all citizens, re
gardless of where and from whom
they work, will be able to vote un
molested for candidate of their
choice, and that their votes shall be
accurately and fairly counted.
When there is evidence unmistak
able that the coutra-y is true then
an uprising in the name of decency
and justice will be iu order.”
If reports floating around Win
ston Salem since the primary are
tr,ue then there was a lot of coer
cion, threats and other well-kniwn
gestures toward the employes of
more than one manufacturing col.
corn and business establishment in
this city that they “had belter vote
right” or some one might be look
ing for a job.
It was reported more than a
month ago than in one concern in
Wiuston Salem a census was taken
by the “bosses” as to the politics
of every man working there..-Why
was this done? It is also charged
by those who.are in position- to.
know that hundreds of Republicans
in Winston-Salem were registered
as Democrats and allowed to parti

Saturday and were given to under
stand how they should cast their
votes.
The Winston Salem Journaa few
days ago was out iu a. fiery out

opened its mouth about the large

Why Condemn Raleigh and ..Wake

the same state of affairs existing
here? In whose interest were these
Winston-Salem negroes registered?
In the primary Saturday with
one exception, that of. U.- S. Sena
tor where the Republicans yvers
forced in by the actions of one De-
Priest, of Max Gardner’s county,
was a democratic affair and the

tices and their unlawful acts on each
other.

No Wild Cat Money.
There are "financeers” in this
country, some even in the Congress
of the United States, who insist that
we ought deliberately to go off the
gold standard. They point to the
advantage other countries are ge‘-
ting in our market because of the
cheap currency we could not only
hold our own market, but penetrate
others. .
But listen: In Great Britain and

men, both Hickory men, with whom
he I e was employed on a plumbing

two who were told the secret were
t ie central figures in the romantic
-aory. Chief of Police Lentz and a
party cf Hickory men went with one
of the two men to scene of the al
lege! cache, and they verified the
statements that much digging had
been in progress there. They also
became convinced that there was a
basis for the supposition that-some
one had apparently taken a box
from one of the holos—as they got it
on what seemed to be good authori

made earlier investigations there.
From Valdese have come persis’-
ent rumors the past few. days that
an unusually large number of the
old-size large paper currency has
been in circulation there lateiv. As
the treasure box was said to be in
paper currency of old style bills,
many persons are now fully convinc
ed that someone in that section is
richer by the extent of .the buried
treasure.
At a Hickorv bank, inquiry elicit
ed the information' that there has
perhaps been more of the old-style
currency in circulation in Hickory
than previous to the alleged finding
o’ the treusure. That seems to batk
up the belief of the busintst men
who are authority for the statement
that either someone is getting it'out

Stabilizing The Dollar.
A bill is introduced in congress
to provide for an expansion of ru.-
rency in an indirect manner. It is
proposed that, for the text Eve
years United Slates bonds be re'
garded as currency.
It is exredient that something
be done to stabilize the value of
money. Money with which to pav
debts constracted three years ago is
entirely too costly. Cotton is cot
ton. corn is corn,-tobacco is tobac
Co and other products are the same
as they haye been from the point of
labor to produce. Yet is necessary
to pay from three to five time as
much of these products to pay a
debt as it did four \ ears ago. There
is something fun damentally wrong
with a system of this kind. The
value of money can only be deter
mied by the labor back of it.
“Printing press” money is dis
honest money because ’ there is
nothing back of it. But it is very
necessary that the value of monev
be kept stable —Wilkes Journal. '
Have Found A
Buried Treasure.
Several Hickory merchants have
taken in an unusually large number
of the old-fashioned, largesiztd
paper currency during the past few
d ivs which leads tn the belief that
some one has discovered the hiding
place of a big amount of money. .
Several days ago there was mild
exchement stirred up in Hickory by
a story of "buried treasure,” invol
ving the account of a feverish search
on the part of several interested par-;
ties.
The tale was to the effect t iat a
a dying soldier on a Iiattlefie d in
France, had given a m: p to a “bur -
dy.” giving him the location of a se
cret cache near Linville, iri Avery
county, where a large sum of money
in a lead-covered box, was buried in
1917. This "buddy” was later ihell-
shocked and disabled to the extent
that he never used his map. Son e
in every other country in Eirope
they have black! oards in all ban I g,
produce markets and other public
places were they chalk up aeveral
times a day the changing value <f
their money, and the fluctuations in
the currencies of other countries.
These fluctuations occur-almost
hourly and no one knows from one
day to another what he may have to
pay'for what he wants to buy. It
is a reminder of the old state bat k
days in our own country when every
man had to carry with him a “bank
note detector”, in order -to know
what the currency was worth in
which he was dealing. 7
It will be a long time, if our people
keep their sanity, before the IJniti d
States again adopts a wild cats
money system.
. Things work out pretty well
after-all, just think, if the short
skirt and bustle had been in style
at the same time.
Iowa Turns Against Its
Veteran Senator.
Des Moines. Ia , J une 8 —A new
twist of Iowa senatorial campaigns
was indicted today with the appar
ent defeat of United States Senator
Smith W. Brookbart in Monday’s
Republican primary by Henry
Fields, Shenandoah seed dealer.'
With 2,073 of the state’s 2,435
precincts reporting Field was about
42,000 ballots ahead of the veteran
senator foe of “big business and
Wall street.”
The vote was: Field-164,938 and
Brookhart 122,763, with the ether
four candidates trailing far behind
the two leaders.
Field, dry and endorsed byorga
nizattons supporting prohibition
apparently was to be opposed m
the November election by Louis
Murphy,-of Dubuque, democrat,
whose pre primary campaign cen
tered around the slogan, “I am
wet.”

One Way To Reach
Crime.
Senator Glenn.'- of Illinois, had a
happv inspiration tie other day
when he cffered an am ndmei t to
the tax bill laying a hundred per
cent tax upon all incomes obtained
hy , crime. The amendment ' was
promptiv adopted and doubtless will
be written into the law.
That certainly is one way to end
tie “partnership” between the Gov-
ernment and: crime—by giving all
the profits to one of the parlners
and sending the others to j i I Hith
erto law violators have been aple to
render themselves immune ; to
prosecution so far as the Govern
ment was concerned men Iy by de
claring their incime to the internal
revenue bureau and paying the tax,-
Al Capone got himself into trouble,
not by the crimes through which he
derived his income, but by failing to
declare that income and to pay the
tax on it. If the Glenn amendment
had been in the law a year ago Mr.
Capone would not now be looking
forward with with complacency to a
ife of ease when he has served his
orison sentence through the enjoy
ment of his ill-got gains. In the fu
ture vigorous enforcement of the .
100 percent levy on crime revenues
will certainly tend, to discourage ac
tivity in that industry since even
the most confirmed criminal would
hardly care to work for nothing.
inflating The Currency.
The average citizen who has little
knowledge of the intricacio of fin
ance and who is in the h ibit of think
ing himself fairly "well off” if he'
manages to get a couple of hundred
dollars to his credit in the bank, un
derstands very little of the talk that
nas been going on-in Washington a-
iout infl iting the currency or ex--
pahding credit facilities or any of -
hose other things having to do with
monev that haye engaged the
thought, or perhaps it had better be
said, the conversation of Congress.
He is ir> position where he’must'
accept such'measures at face value,
conceive that they are good things’
whether he can see how any of these.-
high-sounding propesi 1 ions can ever -
work down to his individual , benefit,.
Of course, no magic is going to.be
wot ked by any of these movements. ’.
Creation of new credit, releasing of
mure money into cifculation, and by
these measures changing over from
ah era of ‘ light money” to easier
money into circulation, will nut.
bring prosperity overnight,; but
such endeavors will have’the effect
of clearing the. underbrush and
straightening the crooked places so'
that the way will be easier for better
times to eescend upon us.

When Frank Grist goes out to

idea-and means peace and harmony
for the party in November.
What does Senator Morrison care
about a hundred thousand dollars?
That is said to be the amount it
will cost the taxpayers of North
Carolina for a second primary. In
1920 Morrison said if Gardner beat
him Ly one vote he would not enter
a second primary. It happened
then that Cam had the most votes

and his followets. We are glad
that we are not a democrat.
The tax rate in Davie county
was Si. 13 on the /100 valuation in
1930. When the State took over
all the roads and schools in the
county, the tax rate was naturally
cut'down, and the t93i rate was
73' cents on the Jioo valuation.
With the school and r< a I tax elimi-
ated in all the counties the tax
rates were automatically reduced.
This, applies to both democratic
and Republican counties. There is
no- man of voting age who is sim
ple enough to believe that the coun
ty commissioners in any county
could have reduced the tax rates
to their present level had not the
state taken over the roads and

Hickory Man- Held In
TreasureTheft.
Hickory, June 15.—An echo of
the somewhat fantastical tale of
buried treasure which was related
in Hickory recently, and focused
attention on a farm near Linville,
Avery county, was the arrest late
Tuesday afternoon ct Andrew
Alexander, of the \ West Hickory
section, on a warrant alleging that
he took the treasure box irom its
hiding place.
The : warrant was from Avery
county, having been sworn out by
Ployd Dellinger, owner of the farm
where the treasure was reported to
be buried.
The story as\ it gained circula
tion was to the effect that a soldier
from Avery county who: was ser
ving in the world war in France,
’ave a map showing the location of
1 he buried treasure-to his buddy,
ifter having been mortally wound
ed on the battlefield. . The buddy;
later became shell-shocked and for ’
got the map, bht remembered it
-some, weeks ago while working
with two Hickory men.
Alexander was declared to have
been one of. the men to whom the
map was shown later, there was
said to have been considerable dig
ging at the Dellinger farm, and
the report went forth, that, the
treasure had been found by. one of
the searchers ■ -

Later from his office he sent a tel

presided over the convention, saying
in part: . J
“If the Amorican people shall again
commit to me the high trust of this
great office I pledge to them the full
measure of my devotion to their ser
vice,”
The result of the balloting on the
vice-presidential nomination was an
nounced in the Senate while the vice-
president was in. the chair./There
was a burst of applause from sena

r03e, bowed, and then sent a tele
gram to Snell.
“I feel very sure,” part 0/ it said,
“that the record of the present ad

condemns referenda deprecates par
tisan consideration of the issue; urg
es attention on “many pressing nat

confined t0 retention or repeal- ar.d
concluded:
“We, therefore, believe that the

to pass upon a: proposed amendment
the provision of which, wh Ie retain

in dealing with the evils inherent in
the liquor traffic, shall allow states
to deal with the problem as their
citizens may determine, but subject
always to the power of the federal
government to protect those states
where prohibition may exist and
safeguard our citizens everywhere
from the return of the saloon and
attendant abuses.
“Such an amendment should be
promptly submitted to the states by
congress, to be acted upon by state
conventions called for that sole pur
pose in accordance with the provis

Therejtcted Bingham substitute

state liquor control in event t f re
peal.
The. new Republican platform,
quickly adopted after the liquor ex
change was over, endorses the Hoov
er policies up and down the line, It
recommends loans to the states for
unemployment relief; development
of co-operative marketing under the
farm board; revision of veterans’
legislation to adjust inequalities and
to provide economies; adherence to
the world court and revision of the
tariff through the tariff commission
to plug hreakB in the wall resulting
from depreciation of foreign cur

Telephone Company In
S New Quarters.
The South East Public Service
Co., have just finished moving the
telephone exchange from the Horn
building into new quarters known
as- the old Southern Bank building.
The interior of this building has
been remodeled and put in first-
class condition, and with the in
stallation of the new switchooard.
telephone service will be greatly
improved. AU cables which were
formerly hanging along Mainstreet
have been torn down and new ca-
ole placed underground in conduit
from Avon streot to the central of
fice entrance. Tnis adds much to
the appearance of Main street, and
both city and county are grateful
for this impiovement.
The cable which formerly con
nected the. exchange was 200- line
capacity. The new cable has 300
line capacity which will take care
of future growth.
Mrs. J. M. Horn, ,who has so
faithfully operated the-' exchange
for the past ten years, will continue
in that capacity, as well as Miss
Ruth Foster, her able assistant.
Our county is fortunate in having
such a personnel, and these folks
are all smiles in their new home
and. with the new equipment. They
will be pleased to have the subscrib .
ers and friends visit them.
The work was done- under the
supervision of James P. Borden,
Plant Superintendent for the tele
phone company, and the work has
been carried on rapidly due to the
efficiency of Mr. Wood, the con-
struction foreman; Mr. Priddy, the
switchboard installer, assisted by
Mr. Elledge and Mr. Byers, the ca
ble splicer. AU of shese men are
experts in their line of work. The
town highly commends the wav
the work has been handled, and
are hoping for further improvement
whenever practicable. Local labor
was used as far as possible in mak
ing these improvements.
The South East Pul lie Service
Co., wishes to express to the pa
trons of their company, arid the
city authorities, their, appreciation
for the splendid co operation in
connection with the moving of their
exchange. Thespirit which- has
been shown demonstrates the-, gopd

Big Yield of Hay in Davie
Many large yields of hay have
been reported in Davie this spring
and it appears the forage crop will
be one of the biggest ever harvested.
G Leagans and sons, of Cana,
have just completed storing fifty
tons of red clover, oats and vetch
A five and one half acre tract in oats
and'vetch produced 26 tons, or an
average of more than five tons per
acre. This is one of the largest
yields of legume hay reported . in
the state in some time, it is thought.
A twelve-acre field of red clover
turned out better than tw’o tons per
acre. The clover was pure and free
from weeds or fitth of any descrip
tion. Theabovefeed was mowed,
cured and stored in perfect condi
tioji, -
In practically all sections of the
country large crops of vetcn, oats,
crimson clover, etc., has been har
vested and stored for use.
Wheat harvest opened the past
week in full blast with many acres
of barley, rye, oats and some wheat
already cut. Reports indicate the
oat and barley crops are of an ex
cellent quality but it is thought the
wheat crop is far below normal.

What Are We Waiting
For?
We have had a moratorium ot
the War debts.
We have had international con
ferences, and lots of them, in the
interests of peace and in behalf of
disarmament.
We have organized gigantic
methods for relief of the drought
sufferers, the unemployed, and the
unfortunate.
We have massed the credit ot
the Government and Ioanedbillions
of dollars to the farmers, and to
the -‘processes of keeping crops
prices from falling through the
c.'llars; and to the railroads and to
the steamship lines.
The question of balancing the
National budget has been solved by
a patient and overly-abused Con
fess.
The gold standard h-is been up
held in the United States.
The crash of couutry banks has
been^checked.
High window jumping has de
creased as “a way out of the whole
mess.”
There aren’t quite so many di-
vorcns.
There are fewer diunks.
Cigarette smoking is decreasing
among the ladies, according to the
wail of the tobacco trust and the
official figures.
Thus: The political and the so
cial'ills are in prettv good shape.
This cock-eyed world should
wake up, and put the props under
its economic structure. UncleSam
has started everything except soiip
kitchens to help everything and
everybody.
Perhaps if we just forgot all a-
bout it and the depression every
thing would be all right a'gain.
What are we waiting for?
Taxpayers in Arms Over
Tax.
Dobson.— A mass meeting of re
bel ,Republicans and Democrats got
together in harmony Saturday to
form, a taxpayers’ association to
mike demands tor a radical reduc
tion in county salaries, the dismiss
al of some of the county officials,
and rigid economy in ' the county
and state government. Some' of
the speakers demanded a 25 per
cent, reductiou m county salaries.
Others suggested that in times of
stress such as now the county could
do without the farnf agent, the
county doctor, and the welfare
officer. There was particular stress
Upon the need of economy in every
banch of government. There was
Iio formal action upon the issn s
-mentioned other than to state that
Ilie association stands firmily back
.-bf the issues and that they would
be publicly passed upon at a call
iueeting on Saturday June 25, at I
o’clock.
Seven Closed Banks Re
open Their Doors
Raleigh, June 9. Four of the
i43)State banks that have closed i n
North Carolina since 1927 have
been liquidated and seven others
hive re-opened, C. I. Taylor, liquid-
a'tiiig agent of the state ban king de
partment reported today.
Two of the institutions liquidated,
the" Continental Trust Company of
Charlotte:, which closed May 18 1929
, and the Citizen Bank of Gate, at
Gates, which closed Jan. 13 1930,
have paid joo percent of their de
positors liability, two others, the,
Carolina Bank and Trust Company j
of-Red Springs, which closed Nov. j
5,1927! and the Bank of Bridgeton, j
at “Bridgeton, paid.75 per cent, the !
final report showed. The Bridgton |
ii^fitutioi^ closed June 16, 1928.
Eife’s Just A Bowl Qf
Did Doc Vote For J. C. B.
Another instance of “Democratic'
economy’’ is shown by the - method
of employing a camp physician for
the local convict camp.
Instead of securing a doctor here
at Yadkinville they go over to
Booneville and secure Dr. T. W.
Shore a Democrat, at a price of $5
pertrip to thecamp. AnyYadkin-
viile physician would go any-. time
for $z a saving of $3. but there is
not a Democratic doctor in Yadkin-
ville. -
Dr. Shore is a good doctor and
good citizen, but why spend the
people’s money in such a blazing
manner just for petty politics? But
that is the way of North Carolina
Democrats and then search the
woods and hills . for something to
tax to pay for it.—Yadkin Ripple
Mr. RaskoVs Advice.
In an article carried in the Ladies
Home Journal for August, 1929
over the signature of John J. Ras-
koD, financial owner of the Demo
cratic party. Mr. Raskob urged the
purchase of stocks listed on the
New York Exchange, going so far
as to advise housewives and small
salaried people to buy stocks on the
installment plan, even if they could
pay no more than $15 a month, up
to the limit of their savings Thar
was about sixty days before the
bottom fell out of the stock market.
And still there are those who think
!hat Mr. Hoover is responsible for
all the trouble that have come
upon the country
Davie BullWins Honors
A North Carolina bull owned by
S inford & Cartner ot Mocksville
has just received the. honor of being
entered in the Advanced: Register
of the American Guernsey Cattle
Club, Peterboro1 N. H., two of his
daughters having recently complet
ed official records.
The bull, Star Knigbt of Garden
Creek 118792, is the sire of Myra’s

a record of 10779 7 pounds of milk
and 500 9 pouuds of tat in class G

If the worst comes to the- worst,
maybe some of the rural schools
cm turn to this suggestion fot
keeping their doors open under de*
pressing financial conditions. Wheti
the failure of a local bank forced
the school at St. Joe, Ark.. toclo. e
befote the end of the term, a hur
ried raaeting was called t.o see what
could be doce to keep the school
open the rest of the term. Next
morning all the children .brought
eggs to school and.kept it up from
that time. on. Pooled and sold,
these eggs paid the teacher’s salary
and other expenses and so a break
in the school year was avoided.
The helpful ; hen has proved her
worth in many_a pinch, but it is
doubtful if she ever re-opened and
kept a school' going before. It
shows that necessity is still the
mother of invention, and it also
shows that old Mother Nature was
mighty thoughtful when she in
vented the hen.

Boos's Bob Reynolds.
Dear Mr. Editor:—I have noticed
in your last several issues vour fre
quent mention of Rob Reynolds, as
being the “wet” candidate. In thn
connection, and with your kind per
mission, I would be glad to say . a
few words. .
To qualify, I will say that Ihavi
known Bob Reynolds for the pasi
fifteen years, and you, Mr. Editor
have known me enough years t<
know that I don’t care a boot whi
is elected—just so he is a Eemocrat-
Bob Reynolds is no more in favoi
of liquor and saloons than you or I.
He fought the liquor traffic as Soli
citor of this District, and he ha:
fought it all along in bis gener
al practice. Something else in hir
favor is that he is a man that does
not, and never has drank iiquor.
Mr. Reynolds has been in a posi
tion to see the ever increasing evil
influence of the liquor traffic;. and
that is why he is in favor of changes
in the existing laws. . ^
Some claim that prohibition pro
hibits; yet Mr. Reynolds has seen
this city and county go from bad
to worse. Get this fact, which can
be proven without room of a pos
sible doubt: When Asheville had
saloons about twenty men made a
living handling and selling liquor
in the city. And it could not be
sold in the rural districts. • Today
there are over three hundred men
engaged in and making a living
out of the whisky business in Ashe
ville, and whisky can be bought at
every cross-roads throughout the
entire part of Western North Caro
lina.
Enforce the law! All tight, but
how? Tbe police court holds a ses
sion every day. They are crammed
and jammed, and about 90 percent
are liquor law violations. The re
gular courts are away behind with
their dockets, aud these are more
than 90 per pent. Iiquorcases Buu
combe county got a special act
through the Legislature some two
years ago to establish a “special
county court.” This court is a
heavy expense on the couuty, but
it is going in full blast—and still
all the courts are more congested
than ever before. County jails are
full, chain gangs are full; state and
national prisons are lull, and lie
violations go on Out of 105 cases
in the last session of the Federal
court held here 94 were liquor cas
es; an increase every year.
Bob Reynolds knows these con
ditions; knows they exist here in
North Carolina and are general the
couutry over. He is patriotic e-
nough, and seusible enough and
has nerve enough to try to remedy
them, even if he does have to con
tend with a lotof jeering from some
of the "holier than thou”, who
have eyes but see not.
Neither can it be said that Mr.
Reynolds seeks this office for what
he will get out of it. Bob is a good
lawyer; one of the best in tbe state,
and; anybody in Western North
Carolina will tell you that he does
not lack practice. Business with
him is always good; depression or
no depression, and he would make
a lot more money here at home
taking care of this practice than be
will at Washington.
Mr. Reynolds’ opponent may be
just as good a man as he is, and
personally, Ido not care which one
gets tbe nomination. My only
reasqn for writing this is because it
“gets on my nerve” to see a man
continually misrepresented by sev
eral newspapers throughout this
campaign as Mr. Reynolds has
been. He would not have Iiqttor
back—liquor is already here. He
would try to make it scarcer and
put it under some kind of control, j

Snell Praises His Party
Chicago.—Representative Bert-
■•and H Snell, of New York, sound
:d the trumpets of expected victor:
before 'the Republican National
Convention.
Delivering his address as perma-
ient chairman of the coventiou, he
jlorified with eloquence the re core
>f President Hoover and his admin
istration; compared his" method:
.with those of that other engineer-
President, George Washington:
ind ridiculed the Democrats as " joc-
per cent, perfect” in the role of i-
■‘faultfinding cavilling minority op
position.”
"We have never offered quack
remedies for national disorders.”
The speech, was an old time,
ring burst of oratory designed to
fire the enthusiasm of Republicans
aud send them forth si fighting force
determined to wring victory from
the ballot boxes in November. Ar
did Senator Dickinson, the key,
uoter, Snell avoided all reference to
prohibition.
Snell reviewed the story of the
present session of Congress and the
failure of the Democratic leadersto
hold their forces in line. -
‘‘This much must be staled to
their credit,” be interpolated, “as
long as they followed the leader
ship of the-one man in America
who furnished leadership in this
great crisis —Herbert Hoover—they
functioned in spendid fashion.
“But when they set out to carry
forward their own program, .they
exhibited colossal incapacity, hope
less division and disintegration with
the result that there was complete
collapse of their party machinery.”
Confidence was destroyed, he told
the covention, by the situation in
the House of Representatives.
“The nation is asked to accept
confusion as a national policy and
disorder as a rule of government,”
he said, speaking of Democratic
bids for victory.
l The Democratic Party is a'mob
of feuds and of factions unable to
bring order out of the chaos in its
own ranks.”
He reviewed Republican accom
plishments begitiuiug with the days
of Lincoln and the building of the
transcontinental railroads and end
ing with "the dreary battle against
world wide depression.”
“lu Lincoln’s day,” he recited,
“the people s ood loyally by their
President, who brought them out
of the shadow of disunion. In
Hoover’s day, the people stand
loyally by their President, who is
bringing the country out of the
shadow of vast economy adversity.”.
"TheTariff law has kept over
40,000,000 American citizens at
work in spite of world wide adver
sity,” he shouted.;’
And then he recalled George
Washington.
"Washington, as an engiueer,
solved stupendous and vexatious
problems for the benefit of man
kind,” he said.
‘It was said of Washington then,
as it is said of Hoover today, that
he was not a politician. In tbe
bastier sense he was not, butin the
higher sense be had the profound
political instinct of statesmanship
and his statesmanship was good
politics. The substratum of Wash
ington’s statesmanship, was his en
gineering experience, his practical
accomplishments, and his profound
human sagacity.
President Hoover’s mind is the
iqind of an engineer. He first gets
his facts aud then he acts. No en
gineer-has attained success by de
ciding his problems on a basis of
experience.
“Herbert Hoover, the engineer-.
President of the United States, is
solving and will solve stupendous
problems, as did our.first enguieer-
President. for the benefit of all
mankind.”

A lady living in the Grammercy:
Park f ectinn was walking home fron
1 friend’s house' in the neighbor
iood the other evening, when sud-
lenly, traversing a dark crors-slreet
the became aware that a man was
following her.
She hurried a little faster, but
rlancing cautiously over her shoul-
Ier she saw that the man was com-
ng faster still—was, in fact, over
making her.’
Justshortofherown anartmenl-
miise doorway he caught up with
her. . " ;
‘Take this.” he told her in a
ioarse voice, and shoved a folded

She took it and, still frozen with
fear, darted into the house, up to
oer apartment and bolted the door.
Then, after she. had taken a deep
breath, she looked at the paper. It
read:
"Jesus Loves You.”
Had To Explain Twice.
Kenn Drum, feature writer on the
Cleveland Star relates the following:
"One night recently a well-known
Shelby druggist drove up in front of
nis store, left his family in the car
and ran in the store after a package.
A minute or two later he walked
out and. somewhat absent-mindedly
stepped into the first car he came to
one resembling his own . He kept
waiting for the woman under the
steering wheel, whom he thought to
be his wife, to drive on. But she
didn’t. Finally, he turned around
and said,. "Le’ts go.” But just as
he Baid it he noticed that it wasn’t
his wife under the steering wheel
but another man’s wife. That call
ed for explanation Number One.
Number Two was asked for, when
he got out and climbed fn his own
car.” . ,

The Turn Of The Road
(From The Aberdeen Pilm)
E ery nnce in a while somebody
asks The Pilot some broad question:
not exactly in the search of wisdom
always, but probably prompted bv
that gossipy.fashion of making talk.
Tuesday a serious-minded chap asked
what is to be the outcome ,of this
financial depression. Now, there is
one thing about The Pilot. Itis a -
ways readv to tell anybody anvthinr,
for that is the newspaper habit.
Sometimes it is right, in a way. and
some times wrong, in a way, and
sirnetimesinactive in either direc
tion. which is also newspaper habi'.
Which explains this and all other
exudations of wisdom.
The outcome of this affair, like
most affairs has what the doctors
call a favorable prognosis, for two
or three reasons. The first is that
mankind in the mass has consider
able sense and ability, and mankind
js trying to work out-a solution. In
the main the result of human iffort
and intelligence is making things
work right. We gum up the work
more or less in the manner of doing
what we do, but out of the jungle:
we usually get fair results, not the
best as a rule, but fair, and that is
right gratifying. “Then certain
things work together for good in
spite of us. The general rule cf
existence is a sensible one..-The
world was created on logical plans,
and is chiefly fool-proof We get
off the tract at times, but funda
mental causes bring it back before
we get very far astray. Economic
Iawsgovern everything. We are in
a world that is capable of yielding
practically an unlimited supply of
everything that is useful to man and
animal We botcn the prodtictinon
and distribution of things at times,
but we finally catchtd up the threads
after we have tangled the yarn, and
we do it in perfectly natual ways.
AU of our clammer at conditions
does not change things much, but
the cut and try and the discard of
things that are not satisfactory and
the holding fast to that which is
good presently brings us to the right
paths again
To start with we are' not bv any
means in as bad shape as we set m to
think This is the richest na'ion the
world has ever known, and while
,prices of some things are not as high
as they were for a time, we have all
of everything we need and more
than any other people ever had, ar.d
we have the things just the same as
if prices were ten times as high. Our
houses are the same as when they
were valued high, our lands are as
many acres, the hills are full-of
wealth, our health is better, our
average of comforts would make our
fathers think we are living in un-
paraited richness, work iess for what
than our ancestors did, and the
world about is beyond any compari-
sm with anything in the past. With
all these conditions frrm which to
progress toward recovery we can re
cover to any logical stage we under
take if we use a little sense and pat
ience. And if we do not follow that
poiicy the natural curiosity and en
ergy of mankind will lead us to re
covery in spite of all our follies and
awkwardness. Things are improving
everyday. Wearegettingsomeof
the nonsense out of our heads and
turning to sound principles to some
extent, and comprehending tnbre
the necessity of work; economy,
practical application of .the rules of
production, .distribution and con
sumption. and although, not rapidiy.
we are.moving in the direction we
all seem to want to go. We have to
get into our heads, that feet were
made long oefore gasoline and that
red headed, freckled-faced boys got
a lot of agreeable ,music out of his
whistle long before the radio was in
vented, and that the kids who plaved
‘ two old cat” years before golf came
to.this couhtry;fbund as much j-iy
in it as in the latter schemes.
Things are working all right. The
main job before us now is to fall in
with the way they are going, and til tune our fiddles'to the everlasting orchestra of natural causes and ef
fect, and forget the clouds that ful- Iow but have no basis on which to put our feet. Vanity. Fair is emotional. but it has no wuodsaw at-
achment, -

Pity the poor boob who goes 'o

usually is invited to a fJolic and I ays
Jearly for his fun "The little girl
in the white hat” takes him in tow,
and before he knows it he is in the
middle of a bad fix
. At a "clip j lint” hearing in the
Federal C mrt in New York City re
cently a speakeasy proprietor had a
hard time explaing to the court,
low come these hard times in price
for entertainment was so high. A

concern stated that forty minutes

to the place by a taxicab driver and
worke up morniug with the propri- -
tor standing over him demanding
ing that he dig up the cash for a
$100 check that he didn’t remember
!rawing; another had a similar ex-
oerience, only his check was for
$150, and still another had a lapse of
memory as to a check for $159 beat
ing bis signature, which he was (told
ne had given in payment for social
lrinks, etcetsra.
But at that one cannot work much
iympathy for the victims. Most of
these “lonesome men” go to tie
metropolis on business missson, a
persect working speakeasy system
spots them as hicks and they are
steered to a "good spot” where the
worries of business may be forgot

who back home are leaders in civic
and relious affairs, and who stand
up in mighty indign$tion when some

Age Not Mere Matter
Of Passage Of Years.
It is an old saying that a woman 13
as old as she looks and a man is as
old as he feels Women who takean
interest in life never look old being
full of gayest _ and animation, and
men who take an interest in life
never feel old for the Bame reason.
Actually, age is more a mutter of
mind than body, for a swift, flying
mind keeps the body young, where
as a swift, flying body won’t keep
the mind youug unless the wits are
exercised and the pleasant emotions
of life given full play.
-If anyone disbelieves they are,
merely point to the life statistics of
insurance companies which prove
that a country clergyman has a far
better expectation of life than-; the
most highly exercised psysical trail
ing instructor. The country clergy
man leads a quiet, useful life, takes
a deep interest in his fellow crea
tures. has a good conscience, and
exercises his mind. The physical
training instructor may have an
equally good conscience but he con
centrates mi the exercise of bis body;
with the-passing of years his wits
begin to creak and suddenly he finds
himself an old man in spite of all
those long-erm balances and some;,
sautts.

Some of the local democratic
papers seem to be lined up for Bob
Reynolds, despite the fact that the
machine is said to be for Morrison.

Let tis hear from you before it is
too late.
'.Our democratic friends from al]
sections of the country are assemb-
ling in Chichago today to nominate
a-man for president—to write a
parfy platform and .take the neces
sary steps to defeat the Republicans
next November—if such a thing is
possible No one knows who will be
nominated, although <t looks like
Roosevelt will be the unlucky'mau
If the party platform contains a wet
plank with a wet man at the head
of the ticket, then '.lie south will
vote like it did four years ago.
Noonedoubts that Caraeron Mor
-rison is just as wet as Bob Rey
nolds So tar as we know, neither
of these gentlemen would take
drink of liquor. We know that
Morrison campaigned for Al Smith
dripping wet nominee for president
in 1928. We don’t know what Bob
Reyoolds was doing in 1928. Noith
Carolina endorsed Roosevelt for
president at the democratic state
convention two weeks ago. Roose
velt is just as wet or a little bit
wetter thau Al Smith or Bob Rey
nolds. Of course Morrison is for
Roosevelt for president, and if no-
mitiated will no doubt stump the
state for him. Politics makes
strange oedfellows.
R. S. Meroney, former citizen of
Mocksville, but for many years
resident of Asheville, the home of
Bob Reynolds used a column' of
space in today’s Record defending
the said Bob and telling what a
good fellow be is. Mr. Meroney
says that before prohibition went
into'effect there were about twenty
ineh engaged in the whiskey busi
ness in Asheville, but that today
there are around 300 men engaged
in the whiskey business in his town.
This argument is contrary to what
the-wet fellows have been preach
ing.! They tell us that if the dry
laiw is repealed it will bring pros
perity. to the country by giving em-
pfoyment to thousands of idle men,
and'the government will get rich
■ off-the revenue derived’ from the
sale.of intoxicants. According to
Wfav-Meroney the repeal of the dry
laws would throw more than 250
' inenout of a job in his city. Take
thecase, gentlemen—we are bam-
fuzzled.
Democrats Will Favor
Repeal.
Chicago, June- 24.—The Demo-
l. cratic platform for 1932 will carry
a plank providing for the question
of repeal (f national p.-ohobition.
This became certain today when
Senator Hull, of Tennessee, pros
pective chairman of the resolutions
committe and ardent prohibitionist
arrived and announced: .
“It seems to be the consensus a
mong most drys and wets alike,
where I have recently traveled, that
there might well be a submission of
this question such direct, unequivo-
cable form as would enable the
voters of the different states to ex
press their choice between retention
and repeal.”
About the same time, Alfred E.
Smith.The 1928 standard bearer,
declared in his first convention state
ment for "unconditional repeal of
the 1 Sth amendment” and imtne-
mediate modification of the Volstead act.
Senator Hull speaks for the do
minant Roosevelt element of the
convention This group at tleast
controls the resolutions committee
and appears to have the majority to
put over the platform recommended
by the committee.
Walter Call Is Dead.
The entire town was shocked last
Tuesday night when a message

Call, which occurred in a Wilson

years in a cotton oil mill. He re
turned to this state about fifteen
years ago. and located in Wilson

oil mill. He spent his summer va

cast a gloom over the town. The

Democrats Had Booze.
J. K. Moore, a democrat
living in Lenoir, who was a
delegate to the Democratic
State Convention, which met
in Raleigh recently, wrote a
letter to the Charlotte Obser
ver last week, which read in
part as follows:
“Unanimously endorsing a
wringing wet man for, presi
dent, who says over his own
signature that the 18th a-
mendment must go, and then
try to claim a dry victory for
Morrison is more than the
people will swallow. You
can’t fool all the people with
such ins:ncere and inconsist
ent stuff. If anybody who
suspects or even thinks we
have: prohibition, he should
have been in Raleigh Wed
nesday night at both the can
didate’s headquarters. A big
crowd swarming the lobby
and milling around, good na-
tured and jolly. Therewere
no drunks but plenty to
drink, neither the Dry Mor
rison men nor the Wet Rey
nolds men had any monopoly
on the booze. I had several
invitations from delegates
from both sides to come up
and have a drink. Seriously
brethren to where are we
drifting? It is time to call a
halt. When our par y meets
to formulate a platform and
nominate delegates to the
National convention, and then
openly and brazenly violate
the prohibition law, what
does the little fellow on the
chain gang who is there for
the same offense think of us?
I wish some of the folks who
think we have prohibition
could have been there. The
Observer has two Open For
um correspondents who are
consistently dry and also
boosters for prohibition. . .
I wonder if those two gentle
men had been there would
they have viewed with alarm
or would they have pointed

The Automobile Owner
Pays and Pays and Pays
Gastouia Gazette.
The increasing cost of operating
an automobile has again placed the
machine in the category of the lux
uries.
A few years'ago an automobile
was considered a necessity, and it is
still so regarded by many. How
ever, if many more taxes are im
posed, it will soon be out ot the
question to own and operate one.
The High Point Enterprise says:
“There was once a time in this
country when the automobile w:s
taken as a. sign of affluence. Coun
try cousins who were favored with
a visit from their city relatives on
Sunday some 15 or.20 years ago al
ways gazing with wonderment on
the “put-putting” of the gasoline
vehicle in which they came out to
the “old fatm” and were more than
willing to fill it up with onions and
potatoes to repay the city dwellers
for the thrill furnished by allowing
them to look on the horseless bug
KV-
“Since that time the rural rela
tives have bought a car of their
own. . And it they read the paper
today they will find that another
burden has been placed on its al
ready well loaded frame by the
United States Senate. To help
balance the buget-the government
has placed a tax of one-cent a gal
lon on gasoline.
“This is in. addition to the six-
eent tax, already required by tl e
state of North Carolina.
“This in addition to the consi
derable amount required of each
car owned for a license tax.
“This in addition to the tax on
cylinder oil also recently placed by
the last congress.
Beauchamp Tragedy Has
By F. R. Leagans-
Moeksville.—Enoch Bailey, "age
about 45 father or Willie Beau
champ, who disappeared on last
February 20 and was found five
days later, dead with a bullet
wound through the head on the
Ellis farm near Advance, was car
ried .0 the-state haspital for the in
sane by Davie officers Monday
afternoon. . ..
Mr. Beauchamp, according to
members of the family and neigh
bors, had been acting “queer” for
about two weeks and disappeared
on Sunday morning about 7 o'clagk
while his wife was preparing break
fast. Members of the fimily
thought he had drowned himself in
the Yadkin River when he failed to
return home after a short lapse of
time, as he had talked of doing a-
way with himself at limes since the
tragedy death of his 20 year-old
son last-February.
The family and neghbors search
ed ail day Sunday for the man, hut
could find no trace of him. Sheriff
McSwain was notified Sunday night
and put his crew of deputies at
work searching the thickets, etc.,
in the neighborhood but could find
no trace of the man as it had rain-
was staged in an effort to impeach
Baily’s testimony and clear Ellis
but the jury found him guilty of
murder in the- second degree and
he was given 25 to 30 years in the
state pen. He served notice of ap
peal which is now pending and he
is now at liberty under $ro,ooo
bond.
Evidence at the trial indicated
Beauchamp was killed in an argu
ment over a gollon of corn whiskey
which Beauchamp had and Ellis
wanted.
We Paid To Help.
For the past thirteen years we
have been hearing in a sort of chor
us from Europe the declaration
that when we sent supplies and
munitions to the allies we charged
for them, whereas, when we sent
man power to consume our own
supplies and ammunition_we cbarg
ed nothing so that" now when we
talk of collecting a debt owing us
for supplies and ammunition we
seem to be setting the value on
things over the value of the lives
we ourselves were willing to con
tribute.
Garet Carrett, in the Saturday
Evening Post, punctures the plans
ibility of that saying in an entirely
complete and conclusive way. “We
Bid not charge for the man power
we sent into the Allied countries—
ed since he left home and his tracks Jwe were charged for moving Amer-
could not be followed. As the home ican soldiers across the sea in British
is near the Yadkin River and the,shiPs at ful1 passenger rates. We
family feared he had jumped in the were charged for moving American
turbid waters, the banks on the soldiers, American munitions and
Davie side were subjected to a very American supplies on French rail
close seach but failed to reveal any I roafIs to fight French
race of the mau or clue to his
whereabouts.
Thetwenty four-hour search end
ed Monday morning when the man,
apparently not in his right mind,
walked into the yard of AltxTuck
er, a prominent farmer-, about two
miles from the Beauchamp hone:
After eating a hearty breakfast the
demented man appeared to be in
good physical condition, but It was
plain that his mind was not func
tioning as he had no recollections of
where he had been during the past
twenty-four hours.
After being brought to Mocks-
vilie he was given an examination
by Dr. S. A. Harding, county
health officer, who ordered him
committed to the insane asylum at
Morganton.
. -The tragic death of his soil Willie
was thought to have preyed on his
,mind until the grief-stricken father
nafly lost his sanity.
He seemed to realized a few
eeks ago that he was on the verge
f losing his mind, as he is reporl-
d at frequent times to have told
is wife and children to keep all
uns, knives and other weapons
ut of his reach. Then a short
me before he. left the home on
unday morning he is reported to
Id his wife to take good care of
e children.
The Beauchamp murder trial
ere last March-will be recalled as
e Of the most sensational and
artling murder trials ever heard.
Davie county when Richmond
ailey, 19, plead: guilty of man-
aughter in connection with his
ath and turned state’s evidence
ainst Tommie Ellis Jr., 26-year-
dson of Enoch Beachamp’s Iand-
rd
It.Js recalled that Beauchamp ac-
mpained by Bailey left the home
out midnight on February .20,
lling his parents he was going to
uke Spry's to work on the farm
ring the summer His body was
und five days later in a dense
ne thicket on the Ellis farm by
0 women while hunting greens,
re of the women was a sister of
ommie Ellis.
A total of six men were' arrested
battles
Everything the Allies got in this
country was borrowed; for every
thing we got in the Allied countries
we paid cash. That is the reason
that at the end of the war they
owed us and we did not owe them.
These are just plain, ordinary,
everyday facts which the Allied
governments have never mentioned
either to us or to their own people,
and which a good many of our own
peoole seem to have forgotten
A Rotten Sermon.
A bishop was eating dinner w ith
his host beiore ’ the afternoen
service at which he was to speak.
He a‘e little or nothing, explaining
that it was not-good tor a preacher
to eat heavily before a sermon.
The housewife could not at
tend the service as she had to stay
at borne and prepare asupper.
When her husband came home she
said: Well, how was he?”
The husbanddrawingasigh re
plied: “He might just as well have
eaten.”
This Is No Joke.
Kansas, a pioneering state in the
cause of prohibition, is made the butt
of many jokes because of its dry at
titude. It is no joke, however, what
Kansas has reaped as a result of its
bone-dry law. In Kansas there are:
Fifty-four counties without any
insane; fifty-four counties without
any feeble-minded; ninety six coun
ties without any inebriates; thirty-
eight counties without any poor-
house; fifty-three counties without
any persons in jail; fifty-six counties
without any persons in jail, fifty-six
counties without any persons in jail;
fifty-six counties without any repre
sentatives in the state penitentiary.
