GRAHAM, N. C., June 1, 191 ft.
PRIMARY SATURDAY.
Next Saturday the Democrat*'©/
North Carolina will have their first
experience with a legalized pri
mary. This la an election to choose
the candidates to be voted (or at
the next general election.
In Alamance it Will be purely a
Democratic primary, as the Repub
licans have named their candidates,
or rather have only one candidate
for an ottice. If the Republicans
had more than one candidate for
an office they would at the same
time vote on a choice—when there
ia but one candidate for an office
no one is voted for in the primary.
Both Democrats and Republicans
will vote for candidates for Presi
dent and Vice-President.
Tickets will be at all the polling
places with the names of the candi
dates printed thereon and the ;
Voter will mark or indicate on the i
ticket the candidate he wishes to (
vote for in tho general election. |
That candidate receiving the re- i
quired majority will bo the can- |
didate to be voted for in the No- I
vembor election.
As to county candidates thepri- i
mary does not apply .to Alamance,
and therefore the county candi- I
dates will be named in mass- 1
convention as heretofore. i
Mr. Ch*r D. Johnston Not a Can
didate.
At the earnest solicitation of tlie j
Director! of the Christian Orphan
age at Elon College Mr. Chaa. D.
Johnston has agreed to accept the
Superintendency of that institution,
abd doea not expect to bo a candi
date again thia year for the office of
Register of Deeds.
That Mr. Johnston will not be a
candidate ia a very great disappoint
ment to his friends throughout the
oounty. For the twelve years that
lie has held the office he has had the
support of many others than Demo
crats. lie baa discharged the duties
of the office ao well and so courteous
ly and obligingly that aa an officer
lie has made himself next to india
pensible.
Not a few of his friends yet hope
he will reconsider and allow them
the privilege and pleaaure of elect
ing him to the office of Itegister of
Deeds again.

Messrs. Bickett and Daughtridge Re
ply to the Questions Propounded
By Farmers' Union.
The Publicity Committee of the
State Farmers' Union lias Bent out
the answers of Messrs. T. W. Bickett
and E. L/ Daughtridge, candidates
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor, concerning the eleven mat
ters of State legislation advocated
by the organized farmers of the State.
"The quostions were mailed by Sec
retary Faires on April 12th," the
committee reports, "a 30-day time
limit being later fixed for replies.
Mr. Bickett answered on ApriJ 27th
and Mr. Daughtridge answered May
19th." Following is a summary of
the questions and answers, Mr.
I Jaughtridge's answers being given
in full and Mr. Bickett's slightly
condensed :
(1) "Repeal of merchant's crop
lien.'
Mr. Bickett's answer: Believes in
providing a substitute for tho crop
lien by "enacting legislation that {
will make it easier for the honest,
industrious and economical tenant
to get cash to buy such supplies as
he cannot make at home. '• Also 1
favors a campaign to make crop liens
unnecessary by diversified farming 1
encouraged by (1) agriculture in the
schools, (2) better farming methods,
and (3) government aid to help
farmers to more profitable marketing
of their crops.
Mr. Daughtridge's answer: '1
favor tho repeal of the merchant's, (
crop lien as soon aa a rural credit '
system or some other satisfactory
substitute can be established in the
rural communities of our State. I
have for several years furnished my
tenants and farm help the oash at
the legal rate of intereat and they
purchase their supplies wherever
they like."
(2) "Provisions permitting neigh
borhoods to adopt race segregation
in land ownerahip."
Mr. ltickett's answer : Expresses
sympathy with "farmers in white
communities wh>, asserting that a
homogeneous population ia necessary
for tho proper support of schools,
churches and rural community life,
complain that absentee ownors often
introduce negro land owners into
neighborhoods that would otherwise
remain wholly in white hands," but
believes thst in order to avoid con
flict with the Federal constitution
any amendment to our constitution
would have to be framed on con
siderations of residence rather than
land ownership. Also believes that
"communities tn the country can do
much towards establishing practical
segregation of the nros, just as has
been done in cities, by developing
healthy public sentiment."
Mr. Daughtridge's answer: "I fa
vor the same wherever it can be done
without violating the rights of either
race as guaranteed them by our con
stitution."
(3) "A just and equitable system
of taxation, (a) lightening the bur
deps upon labor by putting a larger
proportion on inheritances, (b) with
constitutional provision for a lower
•ate on reaident than on absentee
landloids and (c) increased rate on
land held out of use."
Ur. Bickett'a answer: "I am cer
tainly in favor of a just and equit
able syatem of taxation and favor
every reasonable and just measure
thst will tend to lighteu the burdens
upon labor by putting a larger tax

on inheritances, and that will en
courage the division of our lands
into smaller farms."
Mr. Daughtridgo's answer: "I
favor a just and equitable system of
taxation "
(4) "Povision for incorporating
rural communities."
Mr. answer : "Heartily
in favor of it."
Mr. Daughtridge's answer: "I am
for any thing which will help the ,
people of the rural communities, and
which they desire."
(s)."lnitiative and referendum."
Mr. Bickett's answer: "Have no (
objection to principle, but am of the
opinion that it would ±6 cumber ,
some."
Mr, Daughtridge's answer: "Our ,
frequent elections makes this unnec- {
essary in our State. Ours is a repre- ,
sentative from of government." ,
(0) "A stringent anti-usury law,
and laws regulating banks as public- |
service corporations." (
Mr. Bickett and Mr. Daughtridge
both declare for this.
(7) "Giving some official authority
to regulate insurance rat
Mr. Bickett's answer: "I am in fa
vor of such State supervision of in- ,
surance companies as will secure to
the people juat and equitable rates
and insurance that really insures "
Mr. Daughtridge's answer: "1
favor the general prnpoaition,
provided all proper interests are
safeguarded
(8) "A State warehouse system
somewhat like the Soth Carolina
plan."
Mr. Bickett's answer: "I think a
State warehouse system on the Souih
Carolina plan eminently desirable."
Mr. Daughtridge's answer: "I
favor a Stato warehouse system."
(0) "A simplified and popularized
Worrens system af registering land
titles."
Both candidates favor this.
(10) "Provision for furnishing text
books to the people at cost."
Both candidates endorse this prin
ciple.
(11) "Requiring retained attor
neys of public service corporations to
lever such connections before enter
ing the Legislature."
Mr. Bickett's answer: *1 think the
people can be safely trusted to pass
on these qtialifi-ations."
Mr. Daughtridge's answer: I think
the fitness of a representative should
be left to the pcoplo whom he repre
sents to decide.'
In concluding his answers, Mr
liickett says: "I want to do work for
the men and the w men out on the
fanns that will at least resemble
the work done by Aycock for the
children in the school room. To
thia end the nearest and dearest
object of my administration, if I am
elected Governor, will be to convert
tenanta of North Carolinr into land
lords. As a private citizen I have
been able to do thia for a few people:
as Governor of North Carolina 1
have a great faith that I can do it
for thouaands."

Chairman Charles D. miles of the

vention neit week will deal only
with the most vital public ques
' tions.
i In speaking of probable ac
tion of the Progressive national
convention called for Juno 7 in Chi
cago, Chairman Miles said:
"1 imagine everybody assumes
' that the Progressives wiil nominate

tune and adopts a platform which
he regards as "bunk", he may feel

help re-elect President Wilson.

Special Correspondence. >.
Raleigh, N. C. f May 30—It
seem* reasonably certain that the
State primary to be held Satur
day, June 3, will fail to settle the
candidacies of some of the aapir
atits for State offices and that a
second primary will be necessary,
under the provisions of the new
law, to decide who shall be de
clined the nominees of the Demo
cratic party. This condition of
course is caused by the multi
plicity of candidate and will prob
ably necessitate another vote in
three of the congressional dis
tricts also.
The positions for which a second
primary may become necessary' to
nominate candidate are thoiSe of
Attorney General, Secretary of
State, and Commissioner of Agri
culture, and Congressmen in the
sixth, seventh and tenth districts,
in which three districts there are
lifteeu aspirants to be voted for
June 3d.
liiblat on Second Primary.
Col. "Coot" Jones followed the
load of Col. Hartness in. suggest
ing to the other five gentlemen
competing for the offices of Attor
ney General and Secretary of State
that all agree to let the nomina
tions go to the men receiving
the highest vote in the first pri
mary.
The friends of Assistant Attor
ney General Calvert and Secretary
of State Grimes think that offer 1
was a clever little political play,
but too thin to hide lis transpa
rent purpose. It is evi lent, they 1
nay, that as Messrs. Jones and
Hartness are, respectively, the
only candidates from the west for
those positions, they will poll
about as many votes in the first as
they could in the second primary,
while the vote in . the central and
eastern counties will be divided
between the other candidates in
the first primary. If Mr. Calvert
and Col. (Jrimes are candidates in
ihe second primary (provided
they are not winners in the first,
which is not improbable, their
friends claim) they will get the
bulk of the vote polled in the first
one for the candidates forced to
drop out. This argument sounds
reasonable and therefore it was
no surprise whetf"TtJe Jones and
llartness proposition was de
clined.
Major Graham Willing.
The friends of Major VV. A. Gra
ham, the present Commissioner of
Agriculture, say that they are not
anticipating a second primary for
that nomination; that they feel
confident that Major Graham will
have a clear majotity over both
of his competitors, and that they
are certain of such a result, if a
large vote is polled, and his friends
do not take too much for granted
and, in their feeling of security,
fall to vote in the primary Satur
day. Jhat Major Graham has
made a most active and efficient
officer is noi to bo disputed. News
paper men and others here brought
iuto close contact with the official
conduct of State officers, know
this to bo true, and they know
also that the "Old Confederate?' is
a younger man today in physical
and mental activity thau many
iiton of their acquaintance who
have not reached the half-century
mark of birthday anniversaries.
Neverthless, Majdr Graham has
mailed the following reply to Mr.
Mclviminon:
"Dear Sir:—Yours of 24th May
i is to hand. While I soe no prob
ability of the State being put to
( any expense by a second primary
in the nomination of a Democratic
candidate for Commissioner of
Agriculture, I will agree to your
proposition."
The gubernatorial and State
treasurership nominations will, of
course, be settled within the next
four days, as there are only two
candidates for each place contend
ing. Gov. Daughtridge's friends
say they are now more hopeful of
success than at any timfe dnring
the campaign.
One of the most interesting de
velopments of the past few weeks
has been the manifest growth of
the feeling for Mann for treasurer.
Peoplo have been bringing the
news here from various parts of
the State to that efect and his
friends to day declare that he will
poll a very heavy vote aud they
are looking for him to win. Capt.
Mann has now about recovered
front the Illness which kept him
in a hospital here for several
weeks, But he is not able to
travel and he says that he is de
pending on his friends to do the
handsome thing by Sat
urday.

Commissioner of Insurance
Young, Commissioner of Labor
and Jointing Shipinan, and Cor
poration Commissioner Lee,
neither of whom is confronted by
serious or significant opposition,
are expected to be renominated
by overwhelming majorities.
Nevertheless, they are awake to
the danger of apathy on the part
jof voters and that'of over-confl
! donee, aud they have not failed to
ask thei# friends to not allow
either to stand in their way of go
■ ing to the polls next Saturday.
- It appears to be the concensus of

Democratic voters, who realize
p what are the requirements and
exactions for the efficient dis
| charge of the duties of these re
sponsible and important positions,
are not going to vote to dispense
with the services of such capable
* officials ar Yonng, Lee and Ship

The Unsurpassed South.

The South was designed by na- 1

dense population rich in all mater '
ial things—well housed masses,
broadly -educated, independent,
and progressive.
Iter natural resources are .de
lightful climate, fertile soils, a
satisfactory rain-fall, • a large
number of navigable rirers, a n
abundant supply of valuable tim- 1

inexhaustible wealth of minerals, 1

These are essential factors in
the making,of a mighty civil za

Danger In Cleaning With Gasoline.
Most housewives could be fright
ened into hysterics if they "saw
one of their children playing with
a loaded shot gun. Yet some of
those same woiqen will thought
lessly undertake dry-cleaning in
the kitchen with gasoline. Using
a bowl or pan of gasoline in the
kitchen is about as harmless a
pastime as playing football with a
can of nitroglycerine. '
A firm which manufactures a
compound used with gasoline for
dry-cleaning is advertising its
product extensively iu this coun
try under such headlines as
"Housewives "Save $5 by Using
Gasoline." "A Good Way to Col

have been a more appropriate
heading.—Henderson Dispatch.

Our Per Capita Investment
In White Poblic School Property.
University News Letter.
The table in this issue, pr par
ed by Mr. W. B. Cobb of Wayne
county, ranks the counties of
North Carolina according to the
investment of white populations
in white public school property.
The fignres are based ou the last
reportof the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, 1913-'l4.
Negro populations and negro
school property are eliminated in
order to show the relative interest
of the counties iu the education
of white children alone. N
The table shows what counties
are most interested in thiß matter,
where the investments are liberal,
and where they are meagre—in
some instances disgracefully
meagre! '
forward and Kearward Counties.
The ten counties that lead are
Durham, Craven, New Hanover,
Wake, Moore, Johnston, Pas
quotank, Cherokee, Richmond,
and Mecklenburg, in the order in
dicated. 1
Fifty-four counties are below
the State average Qf $5.10.
Fourteen counties have less than
half the State average of per
capita investment in white public
school property. Named in de
scending order, they are Madison, ,
Davie, Chatham, Brunswick, Ma
con, Dare, Stokes, Clay, Alexan
der, Ashe, Graham, Polk, Yad
kin, and Terrell.
Tyrrell foots the list with 44
cents and Yadkin is next to last
with $1.14.
Some Surprises.
/Craven stands ahead of all the
big city-counties, Durham alone
excepted.
Mecklenburg, Forsyth, Bun
combe. and Guilford are all
wealthy couuties, but they are out
ranked by Moore, Johnston, Pas
quotank, » Cherokee, and Rich
mond.
Moore stands 93rd in per capita
rural wealth, but sth in public
school enterprise.
Cherokee leads all the mountain
counties. It is among the half
dozen poorest counties in the
State, but >u per capita public
school property it stands among
the 10 leading counties.
Alleghany is the richest county
in North Carolina in per capita
rural wealth, but it falls to the
66th place in school enterprise.
Macon county, on a per capita
basis, has more than twice as much
invested in motor cars as in school
property. And Tyrrell more than
five times as much!
Scotland ranks 2nd iu per capita
rural wealth, but only 23rd in
white school property-.
Robeson which leatls the State
in the annual production of total
farm wealth is outranked by 28
counties in school interest.
Pasquotank leads the counties
of the Albemarle country.
Orange the seat of the State
University ts not first in public
school enterprise, but 60th.
Rowan and Davidson have long
been centers of culture, but iu
per capita investment in white
public school property their rank
is 02nd and 63rd.
The Mountain Counties.
In public school property, on a
per capita basis, the mountain
counties rank as follows: Chero
kee Bth, Buncombe 13th, Tran
sylvania 32nd, Henderson 46th,
Haywood 53rd,. Alleghany 66th,
Swain 68th, Yancey 81st, Madisou
82nd, Macou 86th, Clay 89th, Ashe
91st, and Graham 92nd. Watau
is omitted for lack of population
figures.
I MotorCara Ahead of Schools.
In total investment on June 30,
: 1915, twenty-seven of our counties
had more money in motor cars
' than in school property, aud in 14
1 counties more, the two invest
ments were nearly equal. ■
1 On a per capita basis the
iug counties were ahead in motor
, cars and behind in white public
school properly: Guilford, Scot
land, Currituck, Martiri; Rowan,
Davidson, Macon, and Tyrrell.
Leadership County.
Some of the counties that lead
| in school iuterest and enterprise
are the poorest in the State.
Macon and Moore, for instance,
rank 93rd aud 94th in per capita
, rural wealth, but they rise to the
, sth and Bth places in their willing
ness to sacrifice for the education
i of their children. Evidently these
two counties are dowered with
both leadership and discipleship.
Oil the?other hand, some of our
richest counties in per capita rural
j wealth rank lowest in public school
, enterprise.
Alleghany, for instance, leads
, the State in the first particular
; and drops to the 66th place in the
second; Ashe falls from the sth to
. the 91st place, and Greene from
' the 7th to the 72nd place.
In these and many other coun
ties there is evidently a lack of
