7 HE GLEANER 1SBCBD BTEBY THURSDAY. J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR. IN ADVANCE. lDMn< at to* FMoln at Grahaa. N. C.. as saoODd-oLaa. matter. GRAHAM. N. 0., APR. 5, 1928. ????rnmmmm?? ? I INTOLERANCE People, both laity and clergy, who are vereed in hietory and reflect, will observe that a most bitter spirit of intolerance is now rampant, al most matching the conditions which existed prior to the dawn of enlight enment which has spread its kindly inflnence to the ends of the earth. Over in Charlotte lives Charles W. Tillett, recognized as one of the State's foremost lawyers, a Method ist and the son of a Methodist min ister. He has been doing some po litical advertising on his own ac count in the interest of "Fair Play." He is a supporter of and advocate of Gov. Al Smith, a Catholic, ior the Democratic nomination for presi dent. So much, adverse to the can didacy of Smith, has been said that Tillett has taken the pains and trouble to run a lot of it to its source. He finds that one 0. K. Miller of Albany, N. V., oper ating under the name of "The New York Civic League," has sent out numerous bulletins at tacking Smith. Also that tIPs same Miller was hailed before the New York senate jndioiary com mittee on account of insinuations that a slush fund of $250,000 had been raised to debauch the New Y'ork Legislature. The committee investigated, could not substan tiate a single statement, and adopted a resolution banishing Miller from the Capitol grounds. Dr. Kdward T. Devine, a Meth odist, Deau of the American Uni versity of Washingtod, D. C., which belongs to the Methodist church, formerly 15 years Pro fessor of Social Economy in Co lumbia University, speaks thus of Smith: , "1 admire Uovernor Smith be cause 1 lived in New York for many years and had au opportunity to atudy both the man and hia work. He has a genius for government that is probably unmatched today. He thoroughly understands the problems of government, especially in their social aspect. In my mind there is no doubt that he would make a great president. I say this not as a politician, but?a a stoden t and one who has no active associa tion with politics or politicians. I ?y it despite the fact that he is a wet, a Catholic and a Democrat, and I am none of these." Hon. Charles E. Hughes, form er N. Y. Governor and Justice of U. 8. Supreme Court, and former Republican candidate for Presi dent, Introducing Gov. Smith to the New York Bar Association, said: "He is not onlv the holder of the highest office of the State, but he is one who represents to us tha expert in government, and I might My, a master in the acience of politim. If we bad the customs of other lands be would long ago have been ele vated to the peerage. We would have started bim perhaps aa Baron Oliver. Then later we would have made him the Karl of Manhattan, and finally the Dnke of Albany. But we do better than that. He long since became a member of high distinction of the fine aristocracy ol public service?the American peer * age. We have watched him, some ol us carefully, all with fascination The title that ?he holds is the proudest title that any Americas can hold because it is a title to thi Mteem and* affection of his fallow oitisena. , Smith is pronounoed a "wet" True no doubt?many are wh< talk "dry"., But an authentic report quotes Smith as saying "The saloon is and ought to be i - defunct Institution in this eoun toy." To the credit of 8mith it ean b said he is not a straddler. kr. Tillett's "political ad vet Using" makes racy and interest lag reading, be one pro-Smith o antl-8mith. That Smith Is both aa ant: prohibitionist and'a Catholic ar - ????. . I objections, be tbey vali'l ? r not. But that be is frank, honest au<l capable is not questionedv The bitter intollerance launch ed against him will not defeat Smith's nomination. He stands unruffled and unphaaed. Ke-, ligiou and politics should be kept apart in civil government. "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." w ? At the State meeting of the Daughters of the?American Kevolu-1 tion held in Raleigh last week, the i representatives from Battle of Ala mance Chapter, recently organized at Burlington, placed before the body the plan of urging the govern ment to accept the Alamance battle field as a national military park. Here, history tells us, the first blood if the Revolution was shed in resist ance against British oppression on May 16, 17*1. On May 2'J, i860, a; shaft of Alamance granite was un veiled to mark the battlefield. Iti bears the following legend: "Here' was fought the battle of Alamance, May 16, 1771, between the British and the Regulators." It is hoped the D. A. R. will succeed in getting the government to accept the battle field as a military park. The mountain metropolis has pe titioned and made all sorts ^f se ductive offers to have President Coolidge make his this summer's White House in Tarbeelia. But nothing definite yet. On the other hand, without pressing invitation or the offer of a palace, on hit own motion, it seems, before the? alert news gatherers got the dope, Gov. A1 Smith bad planned a trip to Asheville and made reservations. Now shall we hear that those fellows up that way who have pen-pictured Gov. A1 as such a hideous person age have scampered awsy and bid themselves in the mountain cpves? On last Thursday the United States Senate passed the Mississippi flood control bill, which provides for an appropriation of $325,000,000. It provides that the government pay the bill without aoy assessment against land owners. The passage was effected in the record time or lees than two hours. Ttiere is op position in the House. College students, male and female' have lately been straw-voting their choice for president. The lead in favor of Cov. A1 Smith is significant. Is it a sincere choice, or is it a pro teat at an attempt to muzzle inde pendent action and formnlate no tions to a self-appointed standard? Last Friday night at his home towna Delaware, Qbio, Senator Frank B. Willis, prominent Repub lican presidential candidate, was stricken and died after he had en tered the hall to address more than 3,000 of his fallow citizens. Lowden and Hoover are contest ing for the North Carolina vote in the National Republican convention. DEATHS Gladys Ilowland, 8-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Ilowland, north of Glencoe, died i Monday and the remains were buried' Tuesday at Union Ridge. Funeral services were conducted at the home by Dr. P.'H. Fleming. Following an attack ol measles, the little girl developed meningitis and pneu monia which caused her death. The 6-day-old infant of Mr. and Mrs. Broddie McPherson, Newlin township, died Sunday and was i buried Monday at Bethel. Nickolm Ponltry Farm Easter Egg [ num. i The Gleaner on last Thursday ' flung out a hint about the annual Easter egg hunt given at the poul , try farm of Joa A. Nicholson and t sons, near Ha ts pa haw. Nothing had bean heard about what was proposed ' for the coming Eastsr. Dots ol ? folks like to take in the event, and % what we said was in the way of a re . minder. But before Mr. Nicholson, had gotten his copy of Thi Quash, he came in and brought-aa item fa * publication and told us about it. Ha will boil and color one thousand '- eggs and hide than about the pram ?r isea. The hunt will start about 1 ,r o'clock Easter Monday. Those wbc ate inclined will have tie privilege of fishing. These events are at I- tended and enjoyed by hundred) a from far and near. ^ 9 0 Mortgagee's * Sale of Real Property.
