PUBLISHED .EVERY THURSDAY -By— Tho Sun Publishing Co., Inc. Selma, N. C. SUBSCRIPTION One Year SI.00; 6 Months 50c Entered as second-class matter July 4, 1929, at the po^t office at Selma, N. C. under the Act March 3, 1879. of MIXING THE ROOSEVELTS. A few days ago Paul Bellamy, of Rapid City, S. Dak., president of the Black Hills Transportation Co., related an interesting experience. He was riding on a train and fell into conversation with a man who told him he was going to vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt, that he would “like to see a son of T. R. in the White House.” When Mr. Bellamy tjld the man Franklin D. was not a son of T. R., but only a remote relative, he refused to be lieve him. The incident impre-;sed Mr. Bellamy so strongly that he made a canvass of the passengers in his car and found that more than half of the men and women in it believed that the Democratic nom inee is a son of Theodore Roo.sevelt What irony it is that the name of a great Republican leader should be come a menacing Republican liabil- ■ ity! COMMODITY PRICES IN OTHER DAYS. EDITOR ALFRED E. SMITH. j BY M. L. STANCIL Newspaper men recently questioned Alfred E. Smith, In an effort to get something to fight Hoover w'ith. Tliev tried him several times to see how he felt, And whether or-not he would support Governor Roosevelt. Smith reminded them that he was now out of politics, Which leaves Mr. Roosevelt in a pretty bad fix. A1 would not say whether he would or would not, And that is about as far as his questioners ever got. They kept on firing questions at a very rapid rate, But Smith refused to talk, so now they will have to wait. Smith said he didn’t care about reading of any Although he he is now the editor of the “New Outlook. As for newspapers, he reminded them he reads quite a few. And could do his writing when he has nothing else to do. He said that he liked it because he could make some cash. But that he didn’t propose to take any one’s political lash. Just vision a man editing a big Metropolitan magazine, Who does not read books a few hours daily along between. He may tell many interesting things of the present day, But he can’t carry you back to the days far, far away. Smith mav make people laugh rather than to weep, Because of the lack of messages that are very deep. He may write about crime, criminals and sundry crooks, . But if he gives us a real vision it must come from books. Can a national politician who once stood so ver.y high. Edit a great magazine and completely pass politics by. We wonder what he will say that will make a real big_ hit, If he ignores policies and don’t read some books^ a bit. hTwill deed it to the state of Vir-Ithat the later the better it would ginia to be used by his successors suit him. And so it fn office if they desire it. | Uvalde for the Honorable Jack.

Among these is one reviewing commodity prices that has ,a great deal of significance right now. “Wheat has been down to 47 5-8 this year but it was three cents- lower last year and in 1895 vfa-^ down to 48 7-8. “Corn has been at 27 7-8 this year. In 1896 it was 19 1-2. “Oats have sold as low as 20 1-2 this year. In the five years 1895 to 1899 inclusive they were at some times lower with a record drop in 1896 to 14 3-4. “Rye has been |Uoted down to 34 1-2 in'1932. In 1896 that cereal sold at 28. “Lard at .$3.72 a hundred pounds is this year’s low, but lard was, $3.05 in 1896. It is interesting to note that lard at wholesale sold for $35.85 a hundred in the glittering year of 1919, more than we are paying for butter at retail now. “Sugar was as low as $3.70 this year. In 1895 it was $3.68. “Cotton down to 5 cents for New York Middling Uplands this year was at a 50 year low, although in 3898 and ’99 it was under 6 cents.” The politically minded will not fail to note that the lower figures in this review hark back to the Democratic administration of Gro ver Cleveland. Mayflower. It has been charged and not' denied that President WiLson had an electric elevator installed in this floating palace at a cost of several thousand dollars and other regal fittings for the'use of himself and his new bride, the “Widder Gault. The Mayflower was kept in Washington at the beck and call of President Wilson with a highly trained crew and there was baldly a Sunday but what it was put in use. When Hoover came in he or dered the sailors back to their ships and junked this expensive piece of floating extravagance—Union Re- publican.

W. Uzzle, dated March 12, 1925, and recorded He went clown the Potomac with a small party of friends and spent most of three days fishing at the of the Register of Deeds for .lohn ,ston county.

The i the indebtednes.s thereby secured and President is extremely fond of thi: peaceful sport, and the friends who -were with him report that he is something of an expert. At least, he was more persistent and patient than any of the other members of, the party and has a larger catch to his credit. The important thing, however, is that for four full days he escaped' the steady gi’ind of office work and had a chance to think and talk of something besides his offi cial duties. PRETTY POOR BUSINESS. We do not know the object of the organizers of the so-called “Hoover cart” parades in Wayne and Lenoir counties but if it was to bring into ridicule and contempt the President of the ‘United States it was a pretty sorry business. It was about on par with the slanderous charge made in 1920 that Mr. Harding was a per son of mixed blood. Mr. Hoover is tke President of the United States and will be until the fourth of next March, if no longer. He was elected by the big- Washington, D. C., August 29. To those who met the Honorable John Nance Garner, Democratic nominee for Vice President, on his recent trip to Washington and New York, it seemed that a decided change had come over the spirit of his dreams since the adjourn ment of Congress. On his return to Texas in July he had been all demand having been made for sale the undersigned Mortgagee will sell at public auction to the highest bid der for ca-h at the Courthouse door in Smithfield, N.

The great office wliich be “fills and his own character certainly entitles him to be treated with respect.—Beau fort News. dent and the Republican party gen erally and with confidence in him self as a man “big enough to take care of Hoover.” He announced then that after fishing awhile he would come back East and get actively into the speaking campaign. But it was no flaming crusader who came back last week for a vis it to New York and Washington. To the newspaper men in New York he declared that he had come to see his “Boss”, to take orders from his “Boss”, and to do what the- “Yankees” wanted him to do. It was too obvious that he was trying to , overcome the impression given out by his former Texas utterances that he regarded himself as the head of the ticket, and to make it clear, to the contrary, that he was a very humble and willing ticket- tail, yearning only to wag when the head gave him permission. To Washington newspaper men Mr. Garner admitted that his fa mous pork barrel bill would not be made an issue in this campaign (by himself), admitting that it would need very considerable revision be- 000 bushels of grain in the year ending* May 31, and its net earn ings exceeded a million dollars. A consensus on agricultural and eco- I nomic conditions of the del-egates from 28 States revealed the fact that farmers everywhere are optim istic. Rising live stock prices have increased farm buying power by millions of dollars, grain prices are improving, and crop conditions are excellent. Maybe we HAVE turned the- corner! THE CAMP THAT HOOVER BUILT. The Democrats are now trying to make it appear that the govern ment bought the land and built the Rapidan camp in 'Virginia where the President goes for a week-end rest but this canard has been ex ploded by the Virginia State Com- , mission on Conservation and De velopment, which by the way, bap- - pens to he composed exclusively of Democrats.

That evidently was one point on which the “Yankees”' in New York had failed to caution him. In another unguarded moment he said: “1 have always done what I thought was best for my country, never varying unless I was advised that 2-3 of the Democrats were for the bill and then I voted for it.” A remark which led some ribald Republicans to inquire whether the Speaker meant to say that he is for the good of the country except when he votes as a Democrat. As to the vigorous and nation wide speaking campaign which the Speaker talked so glibly a .month a.go about makin.g, that seems, as a result of his visit to New York, to have been put into cold storage.
