Newell, of Charlotte whom some may recall as tile Re publican who this fall is to take on Senator Cameron Morrison or Rob ert Rice Reynolds, annouuces that he has no intention of running on the Republican national platform as regards suggested solution of the liquor problem, blit will plant him­ self squarely on the state decla ration of his party, which is un equivocally for prohibition. For which he cannot be blamed; AlI ofhisactive life he has been accustomed to seeing liimself and his political companions held up to jco-n as non-respectable to ssy the least; now the opportunity is afford­ ed him to retaliate. Will he accept? You can bet your last dollar he will do nothing different. One pleasing thing about Hr. Newell, anyhow is that he has al­ ways given as good as he was sent; he has never apologized for being a Republican but has bragged of it. With the traditional temperance party of North Carolina—which really turned to working against liquor because of Republican store­ keepers and gaugers and old tash ioned revenuers—jockeyed into the position ot accepting something at least as good as a resubmission of the matter to the people at the polls, Mr. Newell is going to have a lot of fun asking the Democratic leadership how they got that way. His opponent may expect also to hear something of those colored citizens registered so profusely for the Democrat primary at the, state capital.. Mr Newell remembers when be was “Nigger! Niggered’’ till he was sick and tired of it. - The senatorial campaign will not be a dull one next fall and if the Demociats think the minority party will be wholly on the defensive they have only to take note of Mr. Newell.—Greenso.iro News. It is true that you can’t make people good by law, but the law can fix things so that the folks the law tries to make good are not-so mnch trouble to the folks who don’t need the law to make them good. Liquor And Motor Cars If liquor should ever come back, that is, if it should be .easy of ac­ cess to all and sundry by legal sale with the iucrease in consumption that might be expected when the restraint that some feel in handling the contraband product would be removed, how would it be on the highway with the automobile ard drivers? it is something asked by those who view such prospect with horror. . Manv of these people have! an abiding faith that the automo­ bile will be an insuperable barrier to the unlimited return of Jobn- Barleycorn because it would be im­ possible for the two to work togeth­ er. But the last report of the State highway patrol , shows that 107 drinking drivers were arrested in May and for the same period 40 ad­ ditional persons were arrested for beihg drunk on the highway. The 40’ were not driving. Wherefore the opponents of prohibition, who seem to believe that there will be a woudertul change fot the better in morals when and it the sale of li­ quor is again' authorized, will no doubt contend that there would be few drinking drivers under the new system whatever it is. Certainly the number of driokingdrivers now appearing—and the law doesn’t get them all, of course—indicates that we are on the was to have a full test of the experiment under pro­ hibition, especially since the courts fail and . refuse impose restraints that restrain. -Statesville Dailj^: Short Freedom.

Back To The Front. Gastonia's noted Cominunist up­ rising that ended in the tragic slay­ ing of Chief of Police O. F. Ader- holdt was the-talk. of the state for months, but it had almost been for­ gotten until word came from New York recently that two of the men sentenced for the killing were back in that citv after skipping heavy bonds posted at Gastonia.

The investigation which the Sen ate Committee on Banking and Cur- j rency is carrying forward has de- .veloped'some facts which may have a very decided political reaction be­ fore the campaign is over. The in qu'rv has developed many cases in which pools have been formed bv the cooperation of strong financial intaests, the purpose of which has been to maintain given securities at high price- over a considerable period regardless of the income pro ducing.value of said securities. Dtir ing the time when the pool operated, those who were members of it un loaded the security whose price they are maintaining upon the public and whe.n the stock had all passed into the hands of investors, the support of the pool was withdrawn; with the result in practically every case that the market price dropped to a degree ruinous to the investors. In other cases the Senate inquiry has shown that men on the directorate of certain corporations, taking ad­ vantage of their inside knowledge with resultant gain to themselves and corresponding loss to the invest­ ing public. A conspicuous illustration of this sort of Wall Street manipulation Iis the case of John J Raskob1 the wide­ ly ad vertised owner of the mortgage on th'e Democratic Party who, the inquiry shows, was a participant in a short selling pool Irom which, .be and bis associates realized a uet profit of ji 1,937 000. The securities which were placed upon the market by this pool wore those of a corp­ oration which was controlled by Mr, Raskob and the other men associa ted with him iu the drive. In other words, he was playing with marked cards. He knew exactly the value of the stock he was offering to the puo- Iic while outside investors had no information. The result was that these half dozen men were able in a few weeks to gather in a net profit of two millions, the difference be tween what the public paid for the securities and what the pool was able to buy fhe stock back for at a later date. And this little transaction was carried on at the very time when Mr. Roskob, through the Ladies Home Journal, was advising women a ib‘ other persons of limited means to buy stock even if- they bad to buy it on the installment plan. George A. Kiog. Cooleemee, Juue 28—Last rites were held here on Sunday after noon for George Albert King, age 81 years, who passed.away at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Frank Cope in Lexington Saturday morn­ ing following an illness of several mouths. The deceased was a native of Da­ vie county and spent all his life in t ie village and community until re­ cently. He was employed in the Erwin mill here umil a few years ago when ill health and the’infirm ities of old age forced him to retire from active work. - - Surviving relatives include three daughters, Mrsi Frank Cope and Mrs Oscar Cope, of Lexington and Mrs. Delia Cauble, of Salisbury. Two sons, John W. King, of- this place and Will King who has not been heard of for several years,. Twenty one grandchildren also re­ gain to mourn the^gssing, of this grand old gentleman.

Posted at the court house dom here are innumerable “trespass n<- tices” bearing the names of Ianr- owners who are complying with tie law in posing their law in posting their lands against objectionable visitors Thenotice includes those who would “gather berries” alorg with those would hunt and fish. We ha"e'every sympathy in the world with the farmer whose lands are exploited, his crops I ram per down, and such game as he has fost­ ered, killed and scattered. His Ianr is his.own and the man who tres­ passes thereon-without permission is in a class with the guy who robs y hen house in t he middle of the niy ht. But we sincerely hope that n> farmer in Iredell county will this yeat insist on enforcing the provision a- gainst berry picking. At a time when men and women are going hungry, when the government is doling out bread to them, when there ts no em ployment for thousands npon thous- ands.-surely we should stretch a point and not only allow, but invitr .those who will, to come and pick that would otherwise be wasted. Last season a farmer approached a local magistrate begging a warrant against a woman and little girl who had trespassed in search of berries. Be it said to the everlasting credit of this magistrate that he disregarded the fee and refused to issue the war­ rant. The tale is told of another farmer who observing three little negro girls picking blackberries on his farm, allowed them to continue until their buckets were nearly filled and then approached them, poured their berries in a furrow and tramp ed them in the dirt. They were tres­ passing, ver! But what a pitiful fig­ ure, this man who would chas'Hr them in this way after allowing them to labor thus for nothing. Unless the landowner has Dlnusiblt- reason for exr.luding'-berrv pickers he should aid irt this conservation. rather thanhinderit. lt can hardly be said that berry picking is in the c'ass with fishing and hunting. Men and women do not pick berries in s bdiling hot sun just forthe fun of it. IdIe hands should be given something to do whenever possible and the farmer who extends this courtesy may be laying up treasure in this world as.in heaven. When times become normal again, go back to the prohibition of berry- picking, but in tnis" time of depress­ ion when other landowners are don­ ating acres of wood to be cut, In tn. name of all that is good and for the sake of humanity allow any little negro that is hungry to fill his or her pail with berries fc r a pie — Statesville Record. Salisbury Boy In Davie Court. Cooleemee. June 28. — Willian Inge, 19-year-old white lad of Salis­ bury waived abearing in recorder’s court here Saturday by pleading guilty to breaking and entering and grand larceny. In lieu of bond he was remanded to the Davie jail at Mocksville to await trial at the August term of superior court. Inge plead guilty of breaking In to the garage at the school building here and stealing four wheels and four tires off one of the school buss­ es about two weeks ago. Inge was arrested at his home In Salisbury and placed in the Mocks ville jail and at first-denied know­ ing anything about the theft or breaking .but later confessed to Chief Craven. Cannon Mills Helps Out Salisbury Schools. The full appropriation of $90,000 for the Salisbury: city school was paid Wednesday and the teachers got their complete salaries for their year’s work.

Texas Snaps Out of It Nothing at all seems to be the matter this spring with that section of Texas devoted to the growing of vegetables and truck crops. The total Bermuda onion crop of Texas ship­ ped to the outside markets this -sea­ son and valued at 4 million dollars to growers sold for more than $2 OO a crate as compared to 70c last season. Cabbage shipments in April brought $55 and $60 a ton compared with $7 a ton last year for the same month. Carrots are selling for $1 85 to $2.00 now as against 90? this time last year. Commenting on the marked- im­ provement in business following these high prices, the Dallas News says that some Texas truck growers are making a larger profit this year than for severa’ years. So maybe everybody isn’t going to the demini- tion bow wows after all - . Optimists Get Rich. Trade is stagnant; Stocks are lower than ever.

J-Will Rogers was one of the high lights at the democratic convention. Wijt talked like most of the big de- modrats out .there were drunk, but maybe he was just joking. . .We have been interviewing some bf'the folks: in these' parts as to what they believe in regard to Pre­ sident Hoover—is he wet or dry. Aoout three to one say he is dry. ; We wopder where Senator Borah is going now? He said the Repub­ lican platform was too moist. The democrats have put in a plauk ten times welter than the Republican plank. With the Republican and demo­ cratic conventions out of the way we-believe business would pick up if that democratic Congress and Re­ publican Senate would adjourn and go home. The same fellows who are claim­ ing that Hoover caused the world panic are also claiming that the Davie democrats are responsible for the state taking over the roads and schools and reducing the local tax rate; Sofaras known there are no editors or fanners who are able to buyi new automobiles this year.

To save our lives we can’t see how anv man who believes In the Bible and in prohibition, will he able to sup - port such a platform A Davie gentleman who' has been voting the democratic ticket for many years told us last week that the Republicans wpnld carry Davie by around 500 majority this fall. Someof the Republicans think the majority will go between 700 and 1.000. Well, it all depends on what kind of weather we have on elec­ tion day—how tnanv absentee votes are cast, and how many ; Republi­ cans stay at home. Davie county is a Republican county. This fact was demonstrated in .the June pri­ mary when the Republicans cast nearly twice as many votes as the democrats. Friends Again. Friend Frank Stroud, of the Davie Record, was a visitor, yester day.and called us down.for credit­ ing an editorial to his paper which never appeared there at all, as any one who knows the political record of Stroud’s Record might well know. This article bad this life long Republican saying ,that what Davie needed was to send a Demo crat to the legislature, and that is about the last thing that Frank vyould advocate sending a Demo­ crat to do anything that a Republi­ can could do.

Reynolds, 21.1,227. For commissioner of labor, 1,594 precincts: A. L. Fletcher, 158,084: C. E. Mitchell. 101,743. ^ It looks like Reynolds’ ma­ jority would go to 105,000 when all returns are in.

JULY 6, iqp The Calamity Howlers* On every road and by-road you meet them, the calamity howlers who know that A- merican industry is doomed. They expect a revolution in government, in the mode of production, in distribution, in every phase of American life. They have a most depreseing and distressing influence up­ on the thought of the day, and make the uphill road back to normal business har­ der than it should be. ' It is hard to see a bright side to things right now, and it is hard fo combat the ar­ guments of these calamity howlers, but common sense teaches anyone that there are in these United States 120 million people who have to be ted and clothed, housed and warmed. Who have to have recreation and amuse­ ment, who have developed • certain high standards of liv­ ing aad comfort and that we have the resources to supply these needs and wants. The industries that keep production costs down to a minimum, and keep faith in the future of their product will reap a rich harvest in the next few years, the ca­ lamity howlers to the con­ trary notwithstanding. The present situation undoubted­ ly offers opportunities. Busi- . ness will readjust its opera­ tion and cull out its ineffi- cienoies. The economists offer hope. They show the progress of business cycles and that this one is following a natural course. The executive de­ partment of the Federal Gov­ ernment is doing a great deal to straighten out this knotty tangle, the legislative branch appears to be awakened to the necessity of co operating, and business responds to the effort. At all costs, whining, pre­ dicting revolutions and mour­ ning in the market place, does no good. Faith in our­ selves, in our government .and in the high destiny of our race is needed; will work wonders, and add a. great deal to the general comfort. --Catawba Review. Two Chances To The Last. Things are only half as bad as we think, and worry only blindfolds the eye that might sea the good half. Listen to a story: One negro was worrying about the chance of his being drafted for the army. The other consoled him by: There’s just two things can hap­ pen, boy. You is either drafted or you ain’t’ you can forget it; if you is you’ve got chances. You may be sent to Franceor you may stay here you don’t need to worry; if you is sent to France you is sent to France you’ve got two chances. They may send you to the front and they may leave you in Paris. If you stav in Paris, your troubles are over; if you go to the front you’ve got two chances. You may be shot and you may. not. If you’re not there no reason to worry; if you are. shot vou’Ve got two chances. You may j die and you may get well—and even | iggj/bu dieV you’ve stiil got two chances.’’- Monroe Enquirer. '-Y Most men who gel up before an !audience and pretace.their remarks : with the statement that they are notpublic speakers prove it before they sit down. / A few years ago and government relief was looked forward ti as the thing that would save us —now economists waut relief from govern piept, . The War Wheat Price. Human memory is short and it is worth while therefore now and then 11 review history, even if it is not very long in the past. And so the story of who fixed the price of wheat in the United States during the war and how it came to be fixed may a- gain be told. The occasion for determinat:on of the price arose from the - fact' that the Allied governments had consoli­ dated their buying agencies into one hand and through this buying power controlled the price of American wheat in 1917. They announced that they would not pay “more, than - $1.50 t) $1 80 a bushel, advancing the ar­ gument that abundant wheat existed in the Argentine and in Australia in prices ranging from $1.25 to $1.50 per bushel so that the only reason for purchasing American wheat was to free allied ships from long voy­ ages to the Southern Hemisphere in order that they might Carry-Ameri can troops. Herbert Hoover, as Food Administrator, presented the situa­ tion to President Wilson and insisted tiat a committee be appointed-to de­ termine a fair price for wheat, hold­ ing that the price offered by the al­ lied purchasing agents was not high enough to encourage farmers to raise as much wheat as would be needed. President Wilson accord ingly appointed a committee made up of the following: Charles Bar' rett, President of the Farmers’ Ui - ion; L. J. Tabor. Master of the Na^ tional Grange; E D. Funk, at that time President of the Corn ' Grain Association; W. J. Shorthill. Secre­ tary of the Farmers’ Co-operative Elevators Association; Dr. Taussig, the Economist; William N. D>ak, then representing the Railway Bro­ therhood. now the Secretary of La­ bor, and Dr. Harry. A. Garfield. This committee fixed the price at $2 20 per bushel at Chicago., Mr. Hoover took no part in the deliberations of ‘the committee and did not at any time in any way intimate an opinion regarding that price. AU he said was that $2.80 was too low. It is to be remembered also that $2 20 was not a maximum, but a minimum price. That is to say. no wheat should be sold below $3.20, but it might be sold at as much a- bo e that price as the market justi­ fied. Theaction was taken, to prcr tect farmers from a low price, not to prevent them from . getting a high price. As a matter of fact, millior.s of bushels were sold at a price above $2.20 but none was sold below $2.20 as long as Mr. Hoover was at the head of the Food Administration. A Lost Chord. A newspaper dispatch from Rich­ mond, Va.,.tells of the “Rebel yells which heralded the vanguard of the United Confederate. Veterans." We wish' the boys—that is to say the reporters — wouldn’t. There ,was a time well within the memory of the present generation when-ore occasionally heard the Rebel yell given with spirit and volume; but that time so far as the rebels them­ selves go is gone forever, unless they are encouraged or permitted reunions in the great bevond. The * Rebell yell" was a robust sort of thing, requiring strength to lung! aud larnvx. Men of ti^hty-odd j cm’t handle it satisfactorily. | It adds nothing to the reverence in which the'section holds the sol, diers of the southern cause Io write a bunch of hoey about their re­ unions. ^So long as a Johnny Reb of them remains and is willing to be feted we are: strong for these an­ nual conventions; but it is time an end were made to the attempt to picture the few !eft of Jackson’s and Lee’s men as physically any­ thing like what they used Io be sixtv-five years ago —Greensboro News. Says Action Promises Good. The North Cirolina Christian Ad- vocate, a bitter foe to liquor, says in the current issue, "To one who kept his eye on the daily papers the last few days it appeared that the Ameri­ can people at present had but one consuming passion and that is to get liquor, more liquor, and at the ear- 1 est moment possible. Wito the heads of the Y. M. C. A.. General Motors, and Standard Oil leading; and with 120.000 000 Americans join­ ing in the cry for booze, there is nothing to do but let thsee thirsty millions have the life saving alcoholic drinks at the first moment possible. Thepeoplearenotcrying for bread but for booze. Sothe papersreport and some people are deceived there- oy. But hold a moment. Rome was not built in a day, nor is this nation going wet in a day; or a month, ora year. This agitation promises good. Moral questions thrive on agitation.

Frank Hendrix, S. M. Brewer. Swats Whisky Party. Chicago—Bishop James Cannoi Jr.. who led at 1928 southern ic volt against Alfred E. Smith, said that if the southern democracy b not to be hopelessly disintegrated, “the moral forces of the south must find expressions under an other leadership which will not be­ tray them as in 1928 and 1932.” Discussing the prohibition repet I plank early today bv the democra tic convention, the bishop said in a formal statement that “represents tives of a large majority of the peo pie of the nation who believes anfl insist that the eighteenth amend ment remaiu unchanged will short Iy meet in conference and will de termine what they consider to be the best method of procedure.” “The way with the traffic in in toxicatiug liquors is an irresponsible conflict” he said. “These are sim ply battles in the war, in which war there will be no retreat, no surren­ der, no compromise.” The democratic national conven­ tion has enunciated officially a new test of democracy. It has openly and after debate taken an action to compel democratic men and women to choose between allegiance to the dictum of the supreme party con­ ventions on morals suojects. The issue thus raised for the first time in the democratic history is more vital than that of prohibition itself. Faced by such a test, millions of self-respecting demotratic men and women will unhesitatingly and in­ dignantly, repudiate this unprece dented effort by Ihe national con vention largely composed of hand ed political leaders to bind the opinions and actions of the rank and file of the party on moral ques­ tions. "They will unhesitatingly decide that the price demanded by the present dominant, intolerant party leadership is too great to pay tor accredited membership in any poli­ tical party and will determine tbeir future course, not by their party plantform, but by their own, con­ scientious judgement, both as to policies and candidates “The southern democratic politi cal leaders who betrayed moral forces of the south i r 1928, not only by themselves supporting the wet Tammany candidate Alfred Emanuel Smith, but also by bitter Iy denouncing as traitors those who conscientously refused to be joined in any with the always disreputable, besmirched, wet Tammany tiger, and whose leadership was repudiat­ ed in that campaign by a large ma­ jority of the southern people, these same party leaders have been guil­ ty of a double betrayal in the pre seut convention. “Not only did they all without any public protest whatever sit quietly anl vo'.e for the resolution demanding that congress submit a resolution for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment, and that without any proposed substitute therefor, but also, with the ex­ ception of Hull of Tennessee and Pitts of Alabama, although full op­ portunity to speak was accorded, they all set dumbly, impoieutly, or indifferently in their seats, while the convention uuder the leader­ ship of Smith of Tammany, New York, Walsh of Boston and Igoe of Chicago; all representatives of the same elements of population, all speaking of the sauie shiboleth actually voted that members of'S® democratic party, including their dry southern constituents, must support the repeal of the eighteenth amendment.” Mr. Hoover At His Best Lincoln (Nebf) Star If Mr. Hoover’s appearance be fore the United Stafes Senate with 1 special message 011 the budget and taxation was dramatic, the circum stances under which it was written were the most so The President had been closeted with Secietarv Mills of the treasury until after midnight. Heslept but a few hours and then arose early iu the morn ing, whe-i tne mists were still dark and impenetrable, before the rosy tints of day ,s awakeuing has driven them away. The result was the most„forcefnl vigorous appealing message which has come from Mr. Hoover. There was a new note in it. There was something of conseartion to the task at hand, which will find ready re sponse among the American people. One felt it incorporated some.hing of Mr. Hoover’s heart in his desire to serve his country It is not necessary to agree with the special method he urged as a means of putting the nation,s fi nances on a sound basis. The Presi­ dent himself did not attempt to jus tify a manufacturer’s tax, as he called it, except as an emergency measure. But the message itself was clear and filled with feeling. In effect it was an appeal for the country, divorced of politics He asked for unity and for definate, decisive ac­ tion. That was wbat made it dif­ ferent from so tnauy appeals Mr Hoover made. He had only one thought in mind and that was to balance the budget. Hehad a plan -whereby it could be accomplished, but if Congress had a better one he would not object. It produced re suits. Within a few hours after its delivery, the Senate had passed a tax bill to do the work. As a newspaper which 'had been critical of the administration, we desire to commend Mr. Hoover's message to the Senate It embodies the finest type of leadership which the Presideut has snown. Daniels Deserts hibition. Pro- Io the majority of mstances it you look deep enough yon will Gnd that tne activity of the gossip is inspired by a desire to throw out A Distinction. Do not jump an the bonus marchers in Washington for trying to influence Congress They are open and above board with their lobby efforts. Co not forget that there are hundreds and thousands of other emissaries to Washington who do tbeir duty work in secret, in cloak rooms, in lobbies, in hotels and by innuendo and bribery. We refer to the great army of propagandises and lobbyists which infest Washington all the time. They are just as much to be con demned, and more so, than these bonus boys. These bonus marchers are plain spoken, out aud out with their demands; they are not slink ing about under cover of camou­ flage, neither are they working in­ sidiously and ingeniousiy through medium of prepared Ieltersand tele grams from of supposedly neutral a- geucies back home. Theirs too, is a just cause.—Gastonia Gazette. Press on the Plank. Des Moines Tribune The first main fact about the Re publican liquor plank is that it ad­ vances the country toward a day of redecision on prohibition. Whether it comes in four years, or eight, or ten, the day of redecision is brought within vision. It cau perhaps be said that Repuhlicin plank makes it. certain, eveimially, but considering it.(the resubinission plank), by and large, those honest, and, intelligent advocates of' a’change from present conditions who are neither moved by a passion for hooch nor by doc­ trinaire notions, have reasou to be satisfied.

Democrat Smites Bob Reynolds. The Kinston Fiee Press, democrat­ ic paper, in speaking of Bob Rey­ nolds, democratic nominee for U. S. Senator, has this to say: "And what of the man who has been the beneficiary of this wave of hysteria, which caused not so much a rally to his banner as a ground- swell against.the veteran MorrisonP Whatdoeshestand for and repre­ sent? Nothing that has honored ar.d exalted North Carolina. In the first place, his campaign was made as the emissary of the organized liquor traffic arid supported financially bv it. Dis domestic life in no sense is typical of the home loving folk who* e reverence for the marital ties I as always been profound. His personal habits are abhorrent to the finer sen­ sibilities of the best thought and tra­ dition of the Old North State. In short a spendthrift and a libertine. Yes, the Democrats of North Carc- Iina have spoken. It remains for the whole people of the state to speak in November, and if by then the wave of hysteria has not passed and this new candidate of the Demccrats is sent to Washington, it is safe to pr< - diet that when the history of there times shall be engrossed on the at -1 nal3 of North Carolina, the accon-j plishments and achie ements of tie vanquished Cameron Morrison will be emblazoned theieon. while the memory of the victor. • Robert R.

Chairman James S. Duncan, in .’ompany with- Secretary W. H Foster, of the Republican Stait Executive Committee after the Chicago coiivenl ion made a trip into Canada and only reached Greens biro Thursday. “The plank in the Republican platfom dealing with prohibition is drv” assens Mr. Duncan on hi- return to Greensboro • It entini erates the right which we knew we iad under thecoiistituliou to repeal my amendment it embraces a sped Ic declaration against the saloon itid it also commits the party to coutinued federal handling of the situation with respect to liquor. It is true that the platform a dopted by the Republican state con vention at Charlotte last April is much more defiuite and it more ac curately expresses the sentiment of the Republicansof NorthCarolina “The Republican campaign in North Carolina this year will, so fai as liquor is concerned, be based upon the idea of strict enforcement of the ISth Amenpmeut. In spite spite ot misleading propaganda to the contrary, it is perfectly evident that North Carolina is preponder­ antly dry. Cancelled Debts. Mr. and Mrs. James Hennum oper­ ate a general store at Sloan, Iowa, Evidently the business of their mer cantile establishment is, or has been, of proportions. Tney had accumu­ lated on their books a total of $75 - 000. in amounts ranging from a few cents to $1,000. Some of the ar. c rnnts had been standing 14 years M-. and Mrs. Hennum decided to cancel all indebtedness, and did. Wnen some of the debtors learned their accounts had been marked off they offered to pav. The money was was declined in each instance, ac­ cording to the story. Mr. Hennum said he and his wife believed “in for giving and forgetting” and since the depression had hit some of their debetors pretty hard they had de­ clared,a cancelation rather than a moratorium. To those who offered to pav it was suggested that they give the money to churches or chari­ ty, but that was optional. Make your own comment on the action of the Hennums, But since they forgive all alike, those who pav as well as those who couldn't, and refused tn modify the cancellation when offered payments, it must be admitted that they were in earnest, even if you think they went a little farther than neccessarv. To make sure that d ;btors who offered to pay gave the money to churches and charity as suggested, the Hennums might’as have acted as agents in the transfer.—Statesville Daily. Unsound Objection. Cincinnati Enquirer. Strangely enough, opposition to the Vice President seemed to be crystallized in the one objection—his age. Nota very sound objection in this day, when we have not outlived the memory of G.adstorir, who re­ mained a striking world figure at 83, or of Bismark1 who was at the zenith of his powers when the last of the Hohenz illerns removed.him from the chancellorship at the age of 75; and there were Ciemenceau and Giolitti. In our own political story we find that Thurman at the age of 75 was elected by the Democrats as Vice President on the ticket with Cleve­ land. Henry Gassawav Davis was Parket’s running mate in 1904 at the age of 81. and lived eight years long­ er. Oliver IA eudell Holmes was no youngling on the Supreme Bench through sten uaus years. Hindenburg continues to be a lus­ ty factor in human affairs, though rubbing shoulders.with the eighties; and there is Uncle Andy . Mellon, young-old, at the Court of St. Jame.--, rather creditably looking after the interests of the United States. The Record is only $1. Polling Raps Dems. Dr Daniel A. Polling expressed himself in regaid 19 what lie thought of the whiskey plaiik in the Democratic platform. Listen to this: V- "The Democratic plank declares for the unconditional repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. “The Democratic plank would destroy the Eighteenth Amend­ ment by legalizing beet and other alcoholic liquors. In its last pata graph it invites nullification. “The Democratic plauk for the first time iu the history of Ameri­ can politics makes the Eighteenth Amendment a party issue and sup­ port of the national prohibition re­ peal a test of Democracy and of party membership. “Insofar as it is possible for a leadetship so to do, the Chicago National Convention of the Demo­ cratic party would pledge the con­ science of the citizen, would bind and deliver the motai freedom of conscience. “Because of these declarations and demands, the statements ih the Democratic plank against the re­ turn of the saloon; for the enact­ ment by the several states of mea­ sures to ‘effectively promote tam- perance,’ to bring the ‘liquor traffic into the open’ and under ’complete supervision and control’ and its oledge to protect dry territory, mean nothing and less than nothing. “United States Senator Carter Glass of Virginia described the re­ peal statement of the Democratic platform as a barroom plank.’ We agree. It is not Jefferson; it is Tammany. “Governor Roosevelt stands squarely upon his platform. Heis ‘one hundred per cent’ for the re­ turn of-liquor plauk. More, he is already squarely on record to veto a state enforcement bill should it pass the New York legislature. Iu our opinion that for which Govern­ or Roosevelt stands, that which he aggressively advocates is at once repeal and 'limited nullification.’ "The Eighteenth Amedment is not the only issue before the Ameri­ can people. As an issue the united drys sought to keep it out of party politics, "But in au hour wheu the cry for bread and for work fills the land, when lawlessness has created a national crises, when American civilization rocks, and the whole wutld is impoverished, the national leaders of the Democratic party has made the return of liquor its paramount issue. “This country cannot drink it­ self back to prosperity. This gov­ ernment cannot balance either' its morals or financial budget by con­ senting to debauch its citizens. Millions of the rank and file of the Democratic party will repudiate this return of-liquor plank. “We have no alternative. We are against nullification. We are against making the Eighteenth A- mendment a party issue and sup­ port of repeal a test of party loyal­ ty. We are against extending comfort and giving encouragement to the lawless. We are against making the burden havier of those who protect society from the under­ world. We are against this ‘bar­ room plank’ and the leadership that stands uoon it.” First Barn of North Ca­ rolina Tobacco. The first barn of leaf tobacco to be cured of. this season’s crop in the state is reported from that sec­ tion between Kinston and the Jones county through the name of the grower was not given The tobac­ co crop in this section is,of good quality and it is said will be 10 to 20 per cent smaller, than last >year.

SUKCRiPTiON RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - * I 00 SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - S 50 Some of the democratic papers in North Carolina are busy eating crow Armand T. Daniel has served as postmaster at Mocksville for near­ ly fourteen months This fact is published to keep history straight. Whiie the editor of The Record is not going to vote for Bob Rey nolds. still, we don't believe he is half as mean as many of the demo cratic papers said he was before the primary. AU is not peace and harmony among Notth Carolina democrats One eastern democrat comes out in his paper and calls Bob Reynolds a spendthrift aud a libertine, what­ ever that is. If Senator Borah comes to North Carolina to campaign for Hon. Jake Newell we will guarantee him big crowds. Borah and Newell are two of the biggest prohibitionists in the couutrv loday. Many demecrais are wondering Uow Reynolds defeated Moriisoii by over a hundred thousand majority. We don’t know, but didn't Pete Murphy and Tom Jimi son campaign for Morn onr "The Happy Warrior," doesn’t seem to be happy now. To get Al in a good humor some of the New York democrats are offering to run him for Governor of that great stateifhe will swallow Franklin. Time will tell. find out how they stand on this question. If they are favor of keep itig this law ou the books, then vote for those - who pledge them­ selves to repeal it. Four years ago the good people of North Carolina and many other southern states voted against Al Smilhbecauseheputa wet plank in his platform and declared him­ self against the IStli amendment This year the democrats nominated one of the wettest men in the United States for presideut, and put the wettest plank in their plat­ form that could be written. What are the good people in the south going to do about it? The Winston - Salem Journal seems to have gone wet in the late days of its life. The dry editor has swallowed Franklin and bis liquor platform and expects all the good oeople in this section to do the same. But they won’t. Four years ago the Journal repudiated Al Smith, who run on a dry platform com­ pared to the one that Roosevelt is running on tnis year. If ignorance were bliss, 'twould be folly to he blistered. The editor is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. W. B. Harvey, of Knox ville, Tenn , wife of the pastor of the Bell street Baptist church in that city. Rev. Mr. Harvey sent Franklin Roosevelt a telegram ou Jnlv 3rd, asking him what he meant bv saying in his acceptance speech that “from this tiing on the iS -li amendment is doomed.'' Mrs Harvey writes us that her husband has not 1 et heard from Mr. Roose velt, but that they have ieceived a pei feet flood of Ietlers from distin guished citizens expressing favor­ able comment on the sermon and telegram. Absentee Law Should Go Ifonemayjudgebytheeditorial expressions found in. North Caro Iina newspapers, sentiment is grow ing steadily stronger iu favor of re­ peal of the absentee voters law, 01 at least its modification to limit its application strictly to those known to be temporarily absent on the day of the primary. This law, which was enacted iu war times for the benefit of tens of thousands of eli­ gible and qualified voters who were absent iu the service of the Nation, ;oug ago served its day of useful­ ness and has become the instrument of more evil than good through, a- buse ou the part of over-zealous is not unscrupulous partisans. Re­ gardless of what is done or not done with the State primary law, the Legislature of 1933 should either repeal the abscnttee ballot statute or revise it so as to eliminate the abuses which have brought it into disrepute.—Charlotte Obser­ ver.

JULY i j. 193^ Baptists Want Roosevelt To Explain. Knoxville, Tenn.-A Baptist congregation of 1,000 people voted Sunday night to wire Governor Franklin Roosevelt of New York, Democratic pre aidential nominee, to explain his statement to the conven­ tion at Chicago on Saturday, when he said in his accep­ tance speech that “from this date on the Eighteenth A- mendment is doomed.” The telegram, adopted by the. Bell Avenue Baptist Church, following an attack by Rev. W. B. Harvey, Dem­ ocratic pastor of the church, read: “Will you please favor us with a statement of your rea­ sons in full for wanting re­ peal of the Eighteenth A- mendment and just what you propose to substitute in its stead.” Harvey charged the Demo­ cratic party with being the “pack horse” of the liquor interests and declared “dry Southern Democrats will re­ pudiate the party to uphold prohibition. Roosevelt And South. Editor of The Da1Iy News: Roosevelt ts nominated. Your political writer Stewart says that there will be no op­ position' in the south. He little understands the make up of true hearted southern­ ers. The delegate from Ala­ bama in addressiag the con­ vention on Wednesday night really understood the south­ land when he said the Dem­ ocratic party was tearing it­ self asunder again. Despite all they may say, the major­ ity of southerners who refus­ ed to support the national Democratic ticket in 1928 are not prejudiced and are not bigots. They will show this to be true in the coming campaign. Religious intolerance is not in the makeup of these good people, but devotion to mor­ ality and decency in politics they will demand. They wi'l hot support Roosevelt with his dripping wet platform find Tammany dominated or­ ganization. OBSERVER. Vr Greensboro, N. C. He Is Disgusted. OisgtlSted, in Greensboro News. ■ Yesterday over the radio I ■ heard Andy say “I’se regus- ted!” I wished I could shout back that many of us felt that way. I have been listen­ ing to both conventions and I say again “I’se regusted!” I was brought up a Demo­ crat and would like to con­ tinue to vote that way hut I am done so far as the nat­ ional ticket is concerned un­ less' there is a change. The delegates at this convention are crying for alcohol while the people they represent are ' wanting and needing bread, jj^as ther^eyer such a spec­ tacle? I am sick at heart. /■v He CanT Wait. M. S. Smvre, in Greensboro News. The Democrats are pray­ ing for a Moses to lead them out of the wilderness. It took him 40 years to lead the Hebrew children out. He never did get out. It will i take the Democrats more than 40 years to get out of the wilderness. I do not want to wait that long. P. S. Wilderness: disturb­ ed mind, illusion, delusion. A Stand-Patter. Editor Charlotte Observer: I have always been a De­ mocrat and voted for my par­ ty in the last presidential e- 1 action, but I refuse to vote for any party which has a wet plank in its platform. If it means that we cast our vote for the prohibition party, we believe that there is a big crowd of Americans who will vote solidly for pro­ hibition with us. Mrs. Margaret Boyce. Polkton, N. C. The Wet Parade. In recent months the country has become familiar with what has been called “the beer parade,” an institu­ tion inaugurated by the illustrious mayor of New York, but it remained for the National Convention of the Dimocraticparty to stage a “wet parade,” one of uproarious and hila­ rious acclaim for not only beer and wine, but for liquor. The delega­ tions had been apprised of what was to oe called for in the platform and had a reception in readiness. No sooner had the wetness been prt- nounced when the parade begar. Delegation after delegation joined in the march and it was apparent that the advocates of the milder plank would have no sort of a show­ ing in the convention. Speakers for repeal were loudlv applauded; speak­ ers for repeal were loudly applauded; speakers for the minority proposition were hooted down, and all hands were prepared for the outcome when the roll call was started Cvrdell Hull was the first to speak in champion of the milder plank and he had a hard time of it, as did other minority advocates who followed. The crowd was impatient for some­ thing ard that something developed later when Alfred Emmanuel Smith was announced by the chairman, with the unnecessasy addition that he was going to speak in behalf of the majority report. Thenthe con­ vention scenes of Houston were re­ peated, but wiLh a hundred fold in­ tensity, for the ovation that greeted Smith was the event of the night.

Democrats may learn with softie regret, or satisfaction, depending on the viewpoint, that Bishop Cannon is uuder the painful necessity of a gain departing the party. The bishop put out the word in a Fourth ■if Jnlv address at Ocean Grove N J , that the Republicans will win in November. Announcing himself an mti Smith and anti-Chicago plat form Democrat —which means tbal notwihstanding Smith is out the bishop refuses to abide the platform —his reverence went on to say: The 1932 prohibition plank of the Republican party pledges enforce­ ment of the law and opposes nullifi­ cation. The Democrats in adopting in outright repeal plank have as­ sured the party of Co support from the many organizations anxious to see the rightful continuance of the greatest social enactment made by any nation in any age. From which it is gathered that the bishop will again support Hoover. Denying the common as­ sertion of the wets that drinking has increased and that ‘ the best of American citizens” are violating the law, the bishop rettorted: "Howean a man be one of our best citizens and flout the constitution?"" That brings on more talk. It may be answered that one who wilfully and continu­ ously violates the law, constitutional or statutory, can t qualify as a good citizen in the first requirement, no matter how many other qualities he may have that would put him in that class. But if one begins to draw distinctions tue issue becomes trou­ blesome. Some who can claim a place in the “good citizen” class cheat and defraud, are guilty ol various sharp practices in business relations that are condemned by by statute, legal and moral. Certain­ ly there are many people who be lieve that patronizing a bucket shop, for instance—a IaCannon—i.s morally wrong although it mav be legally permissible. And that brings on dispute about the relative wrong of various violations of statutory and moral laws. It is a never-ending dispute because this arid that fort of violator, while admitting that lie !nay not be exaclly straight, will contend that he is 110 worse than others who are guilty of something .similar Which is mentioned only as on passing interest as to the Cann of attitude and without concern as to what he may do politically.—States­ ville Dailv. 5 Revised Version.

' Suggesteclcampaien song for the Democrats: “When You Drink a Julep and I wear a Big Red Nose.” The Farmer's Ride Back What a rise in the market price of almost any commodity may mean to the farmer is illustrated in the case of hogs and cattle. State­ ment comes fiom Omaha that dur­ ing June the value of these two commodities on Nebraska farms, a lone, increased $58,256,000. The total increase id value of hogs and cattle in the five States of Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and South Dakota was$289,25o 000, and best of all, the increase is continuing. This has given rise to the “slogan” that ‘‘the farmer is coming back riding on a hog.” Theadvace on hogs was from $2 90 to $4 50, and on cattle from $6.75 to $S. 10. The hog raisers appraise the price 0 hogs by the price of corn, the ratio being 10 bushels of corn to 100 pounds hog. Corn is selling arduud 25 cents the bushel, so, with hggs selling at $4.50 the farmers'-^ffe making big money—"lotsof money in fact.”—Charlotte Observer. Phillip Braswell of Nash County is feeding 70 Duroc pigs under the for sale this fall. - \ Mendenhall Brothers of' Higb Point harvested 8,250 pounds of alfalfa hay af the first cutting from a field of only 2 % acres. They have 30 acres to alfalfa which averaged better than a ton of hay per acre -throughout at the first cutting, they Nickel is Back Again. Surveys of the cost of living throughout the United States reveal the nickel has come back, apparen­ tly to stay. One five-cent piece now will buy a large slice of pie in most of the principal cities lor the first time since 1918. Other ‘‘good buys” for a nickel include an egg sandwich, shoe shine, and large loaf of bread, and in a couple of large cities you can see a complete motion piciiue show for five cents. A Boston barber advertised a free shave and shine, or massage and shine, with each haircut, but a New Haven competitor went him one better and came out with “a shave and a haircut for one dime.” Food and clothing lead the dash for new low marks. One big Chicago clothier "liquidated” tooller men's suits for $1. Many others followed with two suits for the price of one, the average cost of a suit of clothes in Chkago being $22 50. as against $45 four years ago. Ghain and independent restau­ rants alike in Chicago and New York offer ham and egg sandwiches for five cents, a plate of ham and eggs, buttered toast, and coffee for 15 cents, and a large plate of beans for a nickel. Even the bootleggers have come have come to terms. Five-cent beer has come back, and whiskey is selling for 10 and 15 cents in many large cities —Ex. Devil Attends Conven­ tion?. The first government on earth was a prohibition one. The devil got into it, and by lying and decep tion, defeated it. In so doing he used the best woman in the world. He is still trying it. But he cjn’t use the good women no>v. .They are now “clothed and in their right mind.” He was iu the recent Republican convention in Chicago, and tried to defeat the prohibition plank, but failed in that. But he did succeed in getting the convention to sorter agree to leave it to him and his tools. And they may play hell with it. He will be in the Democratic con­ vention, and that to deceive and lead astray, and he may doit. He says “The 19th amendment should oe repealed because it is not en­ forced.” That i.s bad logic. AU laws are violated more are less; why not repeal all of them? God’s laws are not kept Dy a majority of the people; and he does not repeal His lawstosuit the criminals.—Goods Box Whittier, Catawba News En­ terprise. Boy Life. (From The Stanly News and Press) Eugene Ashcraft says in his column in the Monroe Euquirer that "thirty years ago a boy would get sore when he was asked to walk a mile to buy a pound of sugar; now he gets just as sore when he is asked to answer the telephone.” And we’ve observed that they be come particularly bitter if they are not allowed to take the car to ride three quarters of a mile to ride to a tenuis court where they plan to spend the day knockiug balls across the net. We read with interest ol the trick­ ery and deceit and duplicity of Jacob •against his brother Esau.- Times have not changed much. The world is still full of Esaus and Jacobs and if possession of property is a guide, the Lord is prospering Jhe Jacobs as He did in the days of old. Reports from county farm agents in the grain growing section of Pied­ mont Carolina indicate that the crop this seasou is not up to standard Excellent yields of clover hay are being harvested, however. Suggesting A Slogan. There is a faint recollection in these parts that many years ago redshirt got a boom in this stale and redshirters flourished long en­ ough to d;> a great injustice to many intelligent worthy negroes who for the sake of peace refrained from attempting to vote on election lay. That formidable array of red- shirts was enough to drive timid negroes into conniption fits. Nor is it forgotten here who boasted of a prominent pait in that Ugly performance. In the recent primaries many so- called “niggers” who had been re­ gistered as Eemocrats helped to choose candidates for office on the Democratic ticket. It is not bard to guess how they voted when they came to choosing a United States senator. Reynolds was too young to have had the privilege of cavort­ ing about in a redshirt. Again this writer recalls more vividly the famous Democratic slo­ gan hurled in dramatic fashion a- gainst the Republicans more than 30 years ago, “Butler, booze and bonds.” It sounds today like a voice from the dead come back to plague the party that put it in vo­ gue. With scarcely a scintilla of truth in it and less of honest pur­ pose the Democrats made most effective use of this slogau iu wrong iug a great man and his party. Happily Mr. Butler is still living and penuitted to see the laws of retribution steadily eliminating the perpetrators of these wrongs. Great Caesar’s ghost, what a change has come about, “Butler, booze and bonds” fades out of the picture to make room for 1Booze bonds and Buncombe ” The De­ mocratic party is saturated in booze and plastered over with bonds and immersed in Bunouibe. It would be hard-to fil’d a more fitting slo­ gan to be hurled against the Demo crats in this state than “Booze, Bonds and Buncombe,” each word capal"zed.—Aristocrat, in Gieens- boro News. Back With The Black Sheep. Although the Honorable Richard Tillman F»untain, who trailed J. C B Ehringhaus by approximately 13,- OOO on the bassis of Associated Press compilations, has declined to issue a formal statement upon the outcome of the balloting pending an official canva s of the vote next Monday, he has confided to newspapermen that he “absolutely will back the Demo­ cratic ticket 100 per cent in Novem­ ber.” ‘ lam a strict party man,” Ra­ leigh dispatches quote the lieutenant governor as having said “I expect to help in the coming campaign and see the Democratic ticket victor­ ious.” And that is most magnanimous on Mr. Fountain’s part, considering what he said in these last few weeks about the Democratic party, its rec­ognized leaders and its functioning in North Oarnlina. Its titular head, the goverror. and most of the major acts of the administration which he office were subject to scathing at­ tacks. North Cirolitia Democracy, and there is Mr. Fountain’s reitera'- ed word for it, is controlled by an all powerful, corportion ridden ma­ chine. Not only that but it tolerates and practics election irregularities in order that its favorites may be sure of victory. Did not a Fountain spokesman assert that 25.000 votes .were cast illegally^in.fthe^terri.t^ry -west of Raleigh in the first "primary? It is difficult to imagine how such a lily-white crusader can so quickly and completely reverse his stand, for spotlessne s and become part" and parcel of the blackened enemy which he sought so vigorously Iocorifounti. Of course, it may be that the lieutenant governor stiil hopes to work reformation from within — Greensboro News. The Record is only $1. Picnic Committee For1EvadingTheCheckTax 1932 ^on t know who originated it. whether the banks or some of-;t heirnatrons, but a way has been found to beat the government tax of =Hwo cents on bank checks by having, the the customer sign a receipt for his money instead ef writing a check. The banks and their customers are in “cahoots” in the evasion. The bai.ks provite the printed receipt. The tax doesn t come off the banks but it imposes a lot of bookkeeping in re­ quiring ihe o%nk to Charg1K the cuf- comer’s account with two cuits for Hach check. Under the evasion method a receipt is signed and hand­ led as a chech against the customer’s account, and that’s all there is to it. It is our own private opinion, pul- Iicly expressed, that the system won’t stand the test of the courts. Buc of course the banks are operat­ ing under what is believed to be competent legal advice and theirs is the risk. If the department of‘ jus­ tice seizes a bunch of the bankers bv the heels and they are found guilty of being haled into court, they are the losers. They will not only' have to pay court costs and maybe a finp( or serve a term in jail, if they loose! but they will have to make good to the government two cents on every receipt they handled. Thecustomer gets his money and goes on his way. It’s the bank’s business to collects the two cents and the bank will be held responsible. Naturally the customer will use the receipt when it is offered. It saves him two cents on each withdrawal of money and since the bank is taking the respon­ sibility it is not the customer’s worry. If and when it should appear, if it does, that the method of evasion is legally sound, the strict construc­ tionist will agree there is a moral re­ sponsibility. Er.questionably Con­ gress intends to lax f-ach two cents. The tax is expected to contribute quite a large sum to the revenue necessary to balancing the buget. The business interests of the country were vociferous in their demands on C ingcess to balance the budget, and when "business interests" are mentioned the banks head the list. They handle the motley. That it is a prime essential of business to main­ tain a balanced budget—not to spend more than is taken in—goes without argument Any businessman worthy the name knows that the concern that spends more than it takes in for any length of time is headed: for the rocks. C'ngress rf Rponded to the call fora balanced budget in so far as levying the taxes is com-ered —the increased and new levies being expected to produce inoie than a a billion dollars Congress didn’t live up to its part of the program in r< - ducing expenditures as.promised and expected. But while the business interests, the banks coming first, were yelling for a balanced budget they didn’t expect Congress to ar- sign to them so much of the balanc­ ing. They would let Georgia find the money. But Congress was com­ pelled io asses those who have as well as some who have not, and-now the business interests are whining s- bout the new levies being a nuisance and a burdan. With that they: look into a way to evade The banks are saving their customers the two cents on each check and saving themselves a lot of extra work because some legal shark found that the law as written does not include ’reciipts” for the withdrawal of money. It may be legally so.und, as has been said, to evade the bank:check tax. While the moral obligation re­ mains, who is expected to pay taxes - as a matter of morals? It is the common custom to evade . them, sometimes by trickering and fraud, and the citizens who declines to pro­ fit by his opportunities is Simply penalized for his honesty. A few may pay as a matter of conscientious sci'uples. but only a few; and the conscientious may be checked'- when they remember that others,;— the great majority—are following the detour. With that conscience may not te jo keen. It’s the way of the word Ii’s not the business of this newspaper to preach about these matters. Nobodv would pay anv at­ tention to it if it did But as a mat­ter of passine interest it is mentions ing things as they are.--Statesvjjjg Daily. H r.. Management Commmittee. J. B. Johnstone, Chm.

IN ADVANCE - S SO The Smith Reynolds tragedv hasn’t been solved, and may pot he for years, but it has been , said of old that “murder will out.” It all depends on whose ox is gored. Democrats can get by with lots of things in North Carolina that would put a Republican, in jail or on the chain gang. Bob Reynolds says he will de­ feat Jake Newell in November by 150,000 majority. The Hon. Jalce Newell says he will defeat Bob Rey­ nolds in November. Take your choice, gentlemen. S. F. Conrad savs there are fifty million church members tn the evangelical churches; 2' 180.000 of­ ficers and teachers in these church­ es, and that Franklin Roosevelt will hear From these folks at voting time. He is right. It seems that Boh Revnolds wants to name the democratic state chair man. and it also seems that Blnch- er Ehringhaiis also wants io name said chairman. The scrap over this office has heen postponed until August. Weather is too hot to be fighting over politics now James A Farlev the Chairman of the National Democratic Execu tive Committee, is a member of the Knights of Columbus, which means of course that he is a member of the Catholic church. And it is. said that our friend Governor Max Gardner voted for him. Well, such is life. Leaders iu the Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian churches have ex pressed themselves as to what they think of the Democratic whisky plank and the gentleman who is running for president on the said plank. This country may be drip ping wet but we won’t believe it until all the votes are counted 011 Nov. 8th. Hon. Eec Wright, prominent de mocratie lawyer iu Salisbnt y, has come out openly and denounced the democratic wet platfoim, together with the wet Roosevelt, who heads the ticket. Mr. Wright wouid not support Al Smith four yeais ago on account of his wetness. Latest reports from Wiuston-Silem .is to the effect that Editor Martin, of the Journal, has donned a bathing suit and is riding 011 a raft, some­ times under water and some times out.

McDANiELAND CHILDREN. Ten Prisoners Es­ cape From Camp. Boring a hole through the floor and dropping to the basement, where they used a pick to pry off the bars of a window, 10 convicts scaled a 10-foot wall and disappeared Saturday night. The men are belieyed to have heen led by Clark York who was sent up for 30 years for the murder last March of Jim Burrus, Mt. Airy taxicab driver. A state highway truck of Craige Foster, foreman of highway 80, was stolen and the convicts were seen early Sunday morning aboard it on highway IOa few miles west of Statesville headed toward the mountains. The escape was effected by the use of a brace and bit to bore a hole through the floor, the men dropping thru to the basement which was the storage room for tools. A pick was then used to pry off the bars of the basement window and escape was then easy over the 10-foot wall and into.the woods. The escapees were: Clark York, Olin Fe.rguson, Rome U il iams, Ralph Lyerly, M. McCurry, Groger King Wil­ liam Burns, William Grant. T. B. Oghurn, Joe McLeod. Maxie Seaford and W. A Sain, guards on duty Satur­ day night, stated the break must have been made be­ tween 8 and 9 o’clock. I There is some mystery as] to how 10 men could cut] through the floor and escape j under the eyes of two guards Siationed at either end of the cell block without being dis-j covered, as the lights burnj all night and the two guards] are supposed to be able to see all sections of the cell block. jj The truck was found Mon- Ijfs day morning two miles this:| side of Salisbury Monday]! morning, just off the high­ way, near Grant's Creek. The prison camp is located two miles west of Mocksviile. A number of men have es­ caped since the camp was, built last winter. M-. <!• Hen-1 dricks is superintendent A good deal of talk is being j heard on the streets about the escape, and how such a- thing could happen. We withhold any comment at this time.

Conrad, in W inston Journal. Is not Gov. Roosevelt a he­ retic on the moral degrada­ tion and corruption of the li­ quor business. The changed conditions of the times with the hard surfaced roads, bus travel, trucks for freight and the bus loads of children for schools all combine to make the liquor business a menace to public safety. Then, besides, we want a man for president of this country who stands above the liquor business. Our new­ ly. .,.nominated senator says tlie liquor business is God’s worst enemy, and the devil’s best friend. He denounces the saloon and declares a— gainst the return, yet he fa­ vors legalizing this soul dam­ ning stuff for revenue. Al Smith is now openly claim­ ing that the platform of the Democratic party is after his own dictation. So we have the spectacle of Roosevelt on Al’s platform; and the de­ vil its best friend to make it go. There ai e 50 million church memhers in the evan­ gelical churches; 159,000 su­ perintendents in their Sun­ day schools, and 2,180,000 officers and.teachers in them. Mr Rooseveltwiil hear from these folks at voting time. How He’ll Vote. I read with interest the ideas of “Observer” and “An­ swer” in your columns. I am an anti-Smith Democrat, a Hoovercrat or whatever de signation may be given to a Democrat who voted f o r Hoover as a matter of prin­ ciple. I will admit that hav­ ing voted that way in 1928 that I would be a bigot, a hypocrite and religiously in tolerant if I voted for Roose­ velt in 1932. I have no a- pology for my 1928 vote and since the Democratic party and the Republican party have candidates so definitely different this time, the Re­ publicans standing in this State for prohibition like I stand for it I am not only going to vote for Hoover this time but I further expect to vote for those two real gen­ tlemen, Clifford Frazier and Jake Newell.-M. C. R., in Greensboro News, SecondPrimary Must Go The result of the July 2 primary in North Carolina in a large-mea­ sure proves that the people of the Commonwealth have made up their minds that they are disguested with the idea of holding a second primary just to see if the follow running te hind may not overcome the lead of their opponent and receive the notr.i- tion. Under the law governing the pri­ mary it has been legal and custo­ mary in the past for the second high­ est candidate to ask for one if he so .desired, regardless of the cost the sum of $104,000, it has been estimat­ ed. The Democratic party should go on record against holding the second primary, and the present law should be changed at the next session o' neral Assembly. It will save > and money, and in our opinion ■ thecandidates running second from ahefeat worse than that received in the first race. ;The people of North Carolina would do well to rise up and demand the abolition of the second primary, thereby letting the high man take the. nomination in every instance.— Wilkes Journal.

Dallas, Texas July 9.-The Texas League of Dry Demo­ crats was formed at a state­ wide mass meeting here to­ day by approximately 250 men and women who plainly indicated the bone dry ele­ ment of Texas plans to bolt the democratic liquor repeal plank and the Roosevelt-Gar- ner ticket. Alvin Moody, of Houston, who called the meeting, was elected permanent chairman. The league adopted a re­ solution introduced by form­ er state Senator Thomas E. Love, which declared: “We are democrats devot­ ed to the principles. and tra­ ditions of the democratic par­ ty to the utmost limits of con­ science and good faith.” Church Board Flays Roosevelt. Lake Junaluska, N. C., July n —The Democraiic party’s plank advocating repeal of the i8th a mendment is vigorously denounced in the annual report of the board of temperance and social service of tue Methodist Episcopal Church smth. made public heie tonight. After asserting the plank on pro hibition is as binding as any other part of the platform, the report de­ clares "any attempt Dy any party platform _ declaration to bind the members of that parly on a moral issue is a distinct invasion of the moral realm and is, therefore not only an indefensible infringement of the rights of conscience but a gross insult .to independent citizen­ ship. “Such action will be repudiated by conscientious men and wotnen throughout the country and this entirely apart front prohibition.” The report urges that “our peo- people should vote for men and women who believe that prohibition ought to be the law” in all elec­ tions "from constable to president.’’ The report was written by Bishop James Caunou Jr., nresident of the board. The Republican party's plank on prohibition was said to pledge the party to "efficient law enforcement opposes any form of attempted nulli­ fication. sets forth the futility of sc- called referendum, tmphasizes that prohibition is not a party political issue, and that no public official, which includes president, vice pre sident, senators, congressmen, state legislators, nor any members of the Republican are bound by the con­ vention action on this question, de­ clares that the progress and the gains which have already been made in dealing with the evils inherent with the liquor traffic must be pre served, and the evils eliminated and declares that the convention does not favor submission of the ques­ tion of retention or repeal of tlie r8th amendment without a substi tute therefor. . . . "The platform indicates no pref ence between the i8th amendment and the proposed substitute, but leaves the decesion of that question to be determined by the people. . .. “. . . The Republican platform takes no position for or against the repeal of the i8th amendment, but does oppose repeal without consti­ tutional safeguards against the sa loons and the violation of the rights of the states.” "Should the prohibition amend­ ment proposed by the Democratic I convention be ratified by the people, j the legal status of the liquor traffic I would be exactly the same, as ob- j tained before the ratifica^Msfi>%f-'the , amendment, with no federal consti-I *,tutional guarantee against’ the re- I turn of the saloon.” ; I The last sentence of the report declares "Methodist . . . here and now declares to all the world that in this war there will be no sur­ render, no retreat, no compromise.” ‘An’ He Ain’t By Hisself inDat. Churchman. An editor, in commenting upon the fact that newspapers sometimes make mistakes in their columns, says he made some in his issue and a good subscriber told him all about it. He goes on to relate that the same day there was n. letter in his postoffice box that did not belong to him; he called for No 98 on the phone and got 198; he asked for a spool of nutn -1 ber 50 thread and got number 60; ho' got his milk bill and there was a mis­ take of ten cents in his favor; he felt j sick and the doctor said he was eat­ ing too much meat when he hadn’t tasted meat for two months; the garage man said the jitney was miss­ ing because it needed a new timer and he cleaned a spark-plug and it has run fine ever since.

The extent to which the Demo rratic Couvention in Chicago wat itampcded oy the wets is strikingl' illustrated by the fact that even Chairmau John J Raskobobjectsti he liquor plank as going too far A little more than a year ago Mr Raskob almost started a riot in the Democratic National Committee when he proposed that it should ake a frank stand for a wet plau But now he says: "I am sorry the majority ha> aken this course I am not in favot if that extreme position. It would have beeu sufficient for the party tr isk its members of Congress to sub nit the questions of repeal to the states. I do not thiuk it wise to put the Democratic party itself on re cord for or against repeal. We must remember that we have had two parties within one party —that in rhe North and that iu the South [ want repeal but I believe we’ll never accomplish it by making the South mad. I argued with Governor Smith, last night on that very point 1 To have the fanatical wets put the screws on the party now, just is they objected to the fanatical drys doing the same thing hitherto is not going to help the question before the people.” That is strange talk indeed from a leader who for four years has been anathema among dry Democrats all over the country because of his ex treme positiou on the wet side of this controveisy. Now the conven tion itself has gone so far beyond him that be feels he must enter his protest. If that is the attitude of M r. Raskob what must be the feeling of the dry Democrats throughout the country? “Farmer Benners Fore­ cast Shows Tide Has Turned. Tom Golden, Hickory insurance man, comes forward with an opti­ mistic declaration—that the tide has turned and that the nation is now on its long and tedious climb bai k to normal times. Mr. Golden has dis covered an old-time chart which nas endured the test of time for more than sixty years' The Hickory man says this chart is known as "Farmer Benner’s Forecast,” and was first pudlished in 1871. showing what bus­ iness conditions be for the succeeding 98 years. Two-thirds of that lime has elapsed and it is pointed out that the forecast has proved correct in pract­ ically every important detail. The chart very accurately showed that there was to be a severe panic iu 1929 and foretold the era of unprecedent­ ed high prices in 1918. ~ According to the chart, prices will gradually continue to rise from now on until 1955 when we will have nor mal times again. Then will come another-reversal, and in 1942 the chart predicts another panic. Again will come the unfailing rise, and in 1847 the world will see another era of abnormally high prices similar to those that prevailed a few years ago. Of these, good times run periods of eight, nine and ten years. Of these, good times run periods of eight, nine and ten years, and hard-tiuies cover periods of nine, seven and eleven years. There is a general belief among men who have made a careful study of the financial history of the world, that the cycle theory is basic. Farm­ er Benner’s chart certainly seems to have proven itself reliable oveiv# long enough period to give promise of being correct in the present in­ stances where it holds hope of early recovery from our present economic plight. Anyway, it is never bad for one Just a Little Giggle. Ft. Wayne News-Sentincl. We cannot avoid a little giggle-at Senator Barklev’s remarks on tin 'ariff. He deelaresthat "the country lid not expect, demand, or want an increase in tariff rates ” And vet the "Keynoter” himself has very re ceatlv escaped by narrow inches the fate of being reed out of his party because he wisely enough, voted fot in Increase of the tariff to protect Kentucky.s coal mines against dis tstrous foreign competition. Senator Barkley now pledges his party to a reduction of the tariff all along the line. This is apt to be the nitstandig issue in November— whether the American market shall be preserved for Americans, or whether the Democracy, serving as ever the international bankers, will wreck the protective tariff barriers, out of deference to the wishes of foreign powers. Finally, the gentleman from Ken­ tucky would have been smarter to omit mention of the Democratic Congress elected in 1930. He de- lares that "we joined with our op- ponents in rendering a comniou service to our common country.” Tiiat is too much—even for a key noter! How the Canadian Sys­ tem Works. How does the Canadiam system of liquor control work? This is the way it works in Manitoba, according to Attorney General Craig: "Retail bootlegging has increased due to the removal of the. first main difficulty of anyone promising to deal ili fitly in Iiq u< r, namely the obtaining of supplies, a condition in tensified by the fact that in addition to all former avenues of supp'y, such unlawful trafficker can now lawfully purchase liquor (from the government) which he intends for resale, particularly in districts where obtaining liquor pieviously was al­ ways difficult and frequently impos­ sible.” The Vancouver, British Columbia, World says that Iiqu r "control” there has created a “Bootleggers’ Paradist I” "Has not the time arrived to put an end to the unenviable position which British C ilumbia has achieved as headquarters of the bootlegging business, rumrunners, gunmen, thugs and all of the parasites who thrive in the mission of the under­ world of the Pacific Coast are foster­ ed by the policy now in force ...” Much more testimony emanating from similar authorities could be cited, the burden of all which would be that the Canadian system does not elimanate the bootlegging and other evi's which foes of prohibition in the Uniced States cite in their attacks on the system which is now in force in this country.— Winston Sentinel. “Old Gray Mule” Goes On Rampage. Kinston, —Jerry Adams’ old gray mare mule ain't-what she used to I e —a docile creature as geulle as a limb in season and out. Yesterday Gertrude, called Gertie for short, walked into the kitchen of the negro farm tenant’s home. Therewasonlyonesteb to the back door, making it easy for Gertie to step in.

But that is just about what seem- to have been done, the jeers to lh, contrary ro'.witbs'anding. Effort ire being iiiade, to be sure, to ere ate the impression that the liqno plank in the Republican Nationa Platform is a straddle and that it i; unintelligible. But these effort, are as unconvincing as they are la­ borious. Here are certain facts with which those who framed this plank had to dealer when they be gan their deliberations. (r) Conditionsuuderprohibition are unsatisfactory. (2) Conditions before prohibi­ tion were unsatisfactory. (3) Some plan must be devised which will deal with the liquoi problem in such a way as to minimize the evils which have grown up under prohibition without a ieiuru to the worst evils which prevailed befoit prohibition was adopted. (4) Any particular states which choose to remain dry must be protecfed Iiom wet invasion must not return to either vvei or dry states The longer it is studied the mote it must be admitted by the fair minded that the Republican liquoi p'.ank met, those problems fairly, frankly and effectively. This plank asserts Ibat the peo­ ple should have an opportunity to pass upon a proposed amendment of the 18th Amendment which by Hs terms "shall allow the states to deal with the (liquor) problem as their citizens may determine. But subject always to the power of the Federal Government to protect states where prohibition may exist and safeguard our citizens every­ where from the return of the sa- 1 ion and attendant abuses.” Cer­ tainly there is nothiug unintelligible about that, nothing hazy or con fused. It means precisely what it says. To the extent that national pro­ hibition has failed, the failure is due largely to the refusal of the states to accept their responsibility iu its enforcement. When the a- meiidment was adopted concurrent police powers were given to the Federal Goveiiiuient and to the states with the exception that the Federal Government would take care of the enforcement of the law to the entent of guarding interstate transportation and protecting the country from tiie importation of li­ quors. It was expected that the states would police their own terri lory, protecting their people a gainst the violation of this as of 0 her laws. But the states have not lived up to this implied com­ pact Several of them, notably the the great state of New York, have actually repealed such laws as they had on their statute books under which violations of the prohibitory law might have been prevented or perished, leaving to the Federal Government the eptire: responsibil­ ity of the local enforcement. Cl course that is flatly impossible. The Federal Government can not police the entire territory of the United States. And so the proposal embodied in the Republican liquor plank is that the stale shall resume their respon­ sibilities in the matter of controll­ ing the liquor traffic white the Fed­ eral Government returns to its ori- giual and appropriate held, If the proposed charge is made the states will deal with the problems astheii c'tizens mav determine, making 'heir own laws with relation to i did enforcing them; but the Fed ;ral Government will see to it tliai hose laws are so framed that the ild saloon can not return. In other vords, the Federal Government iolds the veto power to the extern if annulling state legislation which might result in the return of thi aloon, while not concerning itsell vi’th the police enforcement of any itate law This is not a “straddle” iu any -Uch sense as that term is used in political slang. It is no more .1 Uraddle than are a score of the pro visions of the Federal Constmuion which were adopted only through 1 compromise of extreme views. On this question there were some who maintained that the 18th A inendment should be unqualifiedly endorsed aud any departure from it or modification of it denied. There wete others who held that the 1 Sth Amendment sbouid be repealed flat Iy aud unconditionally, thus restor ing conditions that prevailed before it was adopted—except that the evils tl at attended the liquor traffic prior to the Volstead Act would be immeasurably worse now than they were then. The Republicau plank adopted neithpr of those ex tretnes. Itrecognizedthetact that conditions under the 18th Amend inent are not satisfactory and it pointed out a method by wh’ch ii i-> be ieved those conditions can be vastly ameliorated without invol­ ving any risk of losing the ground that has been gained, or bringing again into existence the abuse that nrevailed under the old system. It is so sensible and moderate a proposaFand it promises such satis­ factory results as almost to justify 'he boast of the Postmaster Gtiier al that a formula had been found which would satisfy everybody. Repudiating Its Own. Washington Post. One may search the Democratic platform in vain for approval of the achievements of the House of Rep resentatives which has heeti under domination of that parts' during the present session. It is obvious that the Democratic party does not intend to stand upon the record it has made in the House. In effect, the platform asks the public to forget the blundei s of the Demucratsin action and listen to the sweet music of future prom ises. In several instances the platform indorses the action of Presibent Hoo­ ver and by inference condemns the a ction taken by the Democratic House For example, the opening paragraph denounces the ' indefensible expan­ sion and contraction of credit for private profit at the expense of the public ” Over the opposition of Rep­ ublican leaders, the House passed the Goldsborough bill, instructing the Federal Reserve Board to minipulale credit and currency with a view Lo raising prices to the 1926 level. The platform condemns what the Dem ocratic House sought to accomplish The Democratic platform favors "expansion of the federal program of necessary and useful construction affected with a public interest.” It would be difflrult indeed to construe this language as other than a slap at Speaker Garner’s pork-parrel bill for the erection of hundreds of post- offices and other extravagant proj­ ects that are eutirely unnecessary No Democrat who stands upon the platform demanding a saving of not less than 25 per eet,t in the cost of the Federal G ivernment can hon­ estly defend the Garner pork-barrel grab. ___________ More complaint of damage by the bud worm and horn worm of tob­ acco has been reported bv eastern growers this season than in many years past.

Recently Evangelist McKendree Long of Statesville. Iredell county, aud Evangelist McLendon, more familiary known a s "Cyclone Mack.” were conducting revival uieetmgs In Asheville. JIr Long had ttrong suspicions as to Mack's stand on prohibition and endeavor­ ed, but unavailingly, to draw state­ ment from him. Cyclone Mack, however, lias now removed all doubts, coming out as the wettest of the wets. His declaration is of a sort to amaze His first proposi­ tion is that "prohibition has turn­ ed the village drunkard into the lrinking village ” Therefore. Fe would not ouly have repeal but something more. He would have repeal of "all laws” except the law against public drunkenness "allow­ ing everybody to make their own liquor, tax Iree.” Statement of that kind from a mau who is class­ ed as "a noted Southern evange­ list,” is calculated to bring his cre­ dentials under more or less criticism A Complete Flop. In the 1928 campaign the Winston- Salem Journal opposed Al Smith for President on the grounds that he was a candidate of the liquor interests. Day after day the brilliant editor of the Journal stuck a knife into the vitals of the Democratic candidate and never one time let up in his fight on Smith and his man Friday, John •i. Raskoh. Asone of the results of the anti-Smith campaign of Ihe Jour­ nal Hotivrr carried Forsyth county bv 6,619 majority and Hoover like­ wise cariivd North Cirolina by 62.696 ' *■ Imagine the surprise of the dry advocates when on Sunday morning the Journal in a double-barreled editorial annonnced in thundering tones: "That not since 1916 have we supported a candidate fof President with Buch confidence and whole­ hearted enthusiasm as we shall sup­ port Franklin D Roosevolt ” And friends it must be remem­ bered that Franklin D. Roosevelt is even wetter than Al Smi'h. The Dem­ ocratic platform adopted at the Coicago convention is dripping wet, it calls for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment which would mean open­ ing up the saloons and big distilleries and breweries in all of the larger s'- ates. It would mean that whisky could be shipped into North Carolina by the train or truck load, it would mpan a return to the "good old davs” when drunken men would be seen reeling along the streets and druril en drivers would be found on our high­ ways at the steering wheels of their cars. Franklin D. Rooseveltendorstd this platform 100 per cent and the Journal enthusiastically endorses Franklin D. Roosevelt 100 per cent. There has been no change in Presi­ dent Honver since 1928 He is the same man wh"tn the Journal sui- Diirted then but a complete somei- sault bv the Baptistdeacon finds him standing among the dripping wets. Whv the flop? Why the change? Frnm the way the Democrats are “cuitirig up” in this state and nation it would seem that thev care nothing about the ecnomic condition of the masses The people are asking for bread and they are being handed the promise of a jug of liquor The Southern Baptist Conventit n in session iu May at St. Petersburg, Fia.. passed a resolution pledging the the members of that great denon - ination to refuse to support auy "wet” candidate for office. We are wondering how the editor of the Journal who is a great Baptist and a uacher of a men’s Bible class in his church will reconci’e the resolutions of his church and his stand for a dripping wet fof President? Of course if the Journal supports Roosr- velt it will likewise have to climb stride the whisky barrel along with Bob Reyr.olbs and whoop it up for the Ashville wet who is being op­ posed by a dry churchman and high- toned citizen.

If we were in favor of the repeal of the 18th Amendment and the modification of the Vol- s'.ead law we would vote for the wettest bunch of men we cauld find that were running. I f we were in favor of prohibition and against repeal and modification then we would vote for the dryest men we could find. "Ye cannot serve both God and mammon.’’ Hon. Jake Newell is going to let Bob Reynolds know be has some opposition before the campaign is over. . The blackberry crop is about to fade out. and up to this good hour we have eaten only three black­ berry pies. The Record is glad indeed that the superintendent of the Davie prison camp is a democrat and ditto as to the guards. The gentleman who predicted that we wouldn’t have any hot weather this summer must be hid­ ing out in the mountains around Boone. Our old friend Frank Grist silent in ten languages since the - late primary. We are wondering if Frank is going to stump the state for Bob this fall. It doesn't seem to be any more trouble for a prisoner to make escape from the county prison camp than.it is for the democratic party to issue bonds in this state. If -the next- legislature wants to go on record as being sane and sen ■ sible they will pass two laws soon as they assemble. Repeal the absentee voters law and abolish the state highway patrol. Some folks are wondering if all ■ the prison guards in North Caro­ lina voted for Cam Morrison and Ehringhaus. We have heard people losing their jobs on account of the way they voted. President Hoover has cut his sal ary #15 000 per year. Up to this writing we haven’t heard of any Davie county democratic officer cut ting his salary. If such a thing -happens, please advise us at once If the democratic voters in North Carolina will vote like the Winston- Salem Journal begs them to do Jaite Newell and Franklin Roose velt will carry North Carolina this fall. The Tournal is begging the boys to vote for a wet president and dry congressmen and senators To save our lives we can’t figure out how an editor can be half-fish and half dry land terrapin. Al Smith wasn’t as wet as Frank­ lin Booseveltl and the 1928 demo cratic platform was as dry as the Saraha desert as compared to the !932 democratic platform. Thi Winston-Salem Journal did every­ thing possible to defeat Al Smith, "and .is now supporting a wetter man With a dripping wet platform. We are almost persuaded that it wasn’t Al’s wetness that defeated him in North Carolina, but his church af­ filiations. It is only two weeks until the 54th Annual Masonic picnic. Des- ■ pite the depression we believe that the crowd this year will be as large as last. All Davie county people, together with all former Davie citi­ zens, and their friends and rela­ tives throughout North Carolina and all other states, are given a special invitation to come .to Mocks- ville on Thursday. August 1 ith and help us enjoy the day. An inter­ esting program is being arranged for this big picnic aud home-com­ ing. A day here renewing old acquaintances and greeting rela­ tives and friends will be worth mucji to ;/t3u-y. Come and spend tije day with us and have the big­ gest time of your life. "We must elect a wet democrat for president, but we must make every honorable effort to elect dry Senators and Congressmen.” The above article, or words to that ef­ fect, has appeared in several news- - papers since the democratic nation­ al convention. To save our lives we can’t figure out how a good pro IiibitionisC can support a wet presi The Record desires to ask Mr. John P. LeGrand and Attorney B. C Brock, democratic and Repnb lican nominee for the Legislature, a few pertinent questions that the voters and taxpayers would like to have answered before casting their ballots this fall 1. Are you in favor of abolishing Ihe absent e voter’s law? 2. Areyou in favor of abolishing the state highway patrol? 3. Do you favor the state wide primary? 4. Do yoii believe that all counties should be given the privilege of electing their sup­ erintendents of public instruction? These questions are very import­ ant and we will gladly donate space in our columns for these gentlemen to tell the voters just where they stand on these questions. The peo­ ple have a right to know what stand their law makers are going to take on important questions. Ten Men Gone One-eighth of the inmates of a celi block in a camp near Mocksville escaped Saturday night. Reports fix the break at "between 8 ana 9 o’clock,” but the camp guards claim they knew nothing about it until 5 o’clock Sunday morning. And it was a prisouer who told them about it then. However, even after discovering that ten of their charges had gain ed freedom, the camp officials did not notify the county sheriff or other authorities until about three hours later, according to reports. Thecampsnperintendent is quot ed as saying he had ordered a bed check at 9:15 o’clock Saturday night. The subordinate charged with the duty says he made the check, but th e superintendent doubts it, because he is confident the absence of the ten men would have been discovered if the survey had taken place. Two other guard were on duty throughout the night but they neither heaid nor saw •anything out of the ordinary, is declared. The convicts escaped by cutting a hole in the floor of their prison rooms. After getting out, via the basement, they stole a camp truck and drove away. They were seen on the highways two or three times S iturday night before they hid the truck in some woods. There is an Investigation due in this case. We can readily appre ciate the fact prison guards are on Iy human and cannot possible "keep an eye” on every man under their care- We can understand how it is possible for an occasional priso­ ner to slip away. But it does seem to ask a considerable stretch of the imaginatiou to think that ten grown men could depart whtle guards sup­ posedly were wide awake and keep­ ing watch According to reports from the camp, electric lights burn all night, either in or around the cell block. It is said that a person within the room could read a newspaper a! any time during the night, so great the .brilliancy of electricity. Sorely a guard, or two guards, spotted within the enclosure, could detect ten men leaving the room. Recent sessions of Forsyth super­ ior court have proved that it is a lifficult matter to convict a defen- lant, even when the evidence seems iverwhelmingly against him. And seems that a conviction means, only that th^fffsonei^will be re-' ained until he decides he has -been mnfined long enough. French leaves ftom North Caro­ lina prison camps are apparently ;asy matters.—Twin City Sentinel. Congress Has Quit. Congress has quit and all and sun dry, it is believed, are satisfied — satisfied with the quitting, that is Tbe satisfaction with the congress­ ional performance, if any is to dev­ elop as the accomplishment turns out. Whether what has been done is more for good than ill we will know later. In one conspicuous particular Congress failed miserably —in the reduction of government expense. In other respects Cong­ ress labored to supply money and credits, as demanded, looking to the lifting of the depression. Nev­ er befoie in this country’s history was government aid in the wav of loans, from money to buy fertilizers for crops on up to hundreds of mil­ lions to banks and railroads and the like, so liberally provided. Cong­ ress has labored sincerely iu an ef­ fort to shake the depression. Whether the depression is lo be shaken that way we are yet to see. Butwhetheronethinks it didn’t do enough or did too much, it is good for all of us that Congress has quit until Decembar 1st next. So long as the body remained in ses sionthe attention of a large portion of the country was turned to Cong­ ress, in the hope aud belief that Congress might do the miracle and create prosperity by legislative act. Congress tried to do that. Now maybe we will all get busy, since Congress has quit, use the means at hand and do something for our­ selves.—Statesville Daily. Two Other Davie Men Arrested. Two additional Davie county men charged with taking part in the manufacture of liquor in Eagle Mills township a few days ago when Ray­ mond Shoaf was overpowered and captured by Debuty Sherrif Furches Allen, have been apbrehended, it was learned today. Luther Peacock was released under bond for his appearance in county Recorder’s com t, and Coun cill Lineberry was brought to the Iredell county jail, in default of bond. Raymond Shoaf, of Davie county, has been in jail since his apprehen sion last Friday.—Statesville Daily. Peaches Bringing Good Prices. !Yadesboro Man Gets Filled Up For Once. The following yarn ol a gluton- ous man is related by the Wades boro Messenger and Intelligencer concerning the payment of an elec­ tion bet: Before the primary Saturday Chief of Police Veonon Smith and Lester Faulkner made an agreement that if Huntley won for sheriff Faulkner would set Smith up to a dinner, and if Gaddy won Smith would set Faulkner up When it became apparent that Gaddy had won Saturday night, Faulkner called on Smith to make good, and the chief took him to the American cafe and told Tom Costas to feed him. Faulkner’s capacity probably was greater than Srailh had figured on, for he afe a total of $4 05 worth and called for a fifth T bone steak, but Custas had run out of steaks He ate four steaks, two orders of French fried potatoes, two orders of speed tomatoes, a whole peaeh pie, and drank seven cups of coffee and four coca-colas and as stated, still had room for more. Faulkner says he re gretted that Tom ran out of steaks as he certainly was a good - cook. Smith paid the bill Peach growers in the Sand Hills are enthusiastic over the fancy prices being received for their fruit so far this season. Hileys are being shipped from Aberdeen in car load lots and are bringing $1.75 and np per bushel in the orchards witth culls selling at $1.40. The dry hot weather has aided materially in the successful market­ ing of the fruit and has brought out in full its coloring and flavor. Aftertheshipment of the Hilevs, the Camerons will be thrown on the market followed by the Elbertas1 the Sandhills’ best bet for a money crop, and the Georgia Belle. The State Federal crop report is sued a' Raliegh says of the peach crop:s of July 1: “North Carolina has a consider able shortage in all kinds of fruits. The exception to this is in the Sand­ hill area where the commercial peach crop is good. With the ex­ ception of hail damage, the ship ments from this area will probably be more than last year. The con dition of the State's crop of peacbef is 58 percent as compared with last year. The commercial crop will probably average above 70 per cent.”—Ex. Two Convicts Surrender Two convicts who escaped with eight others from a prison camp here Saturday were back in custody, led into the arms of pol'ce by their sisters’ regard for law and’order. William Burns, 23, surrendered at Hickory and Grover King gave himself up here. Burns said he surtendered be cause his mother and sister asked him to.
