THE GLEANER GRAHAM. N. C., MAY 14, 1931. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. J. D. KEKNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR. IN ADVANCE. tutored at tne Poflfofflce at Graham, .f C.. BB ?acOuu-clAM matter Will the Legislature ever ad journ? It seems little like It, so long as the House and Senate can not agree about finances. Before the Legislature can pass any law affecting finance, It ap pears that there will have to be j some concession on the part of the J opposing factors?a compromise, j Neither a sales tax of any sort nor. an advalorum tax has much chance of going through. Word comes from Washington, uttered by a Republican, so stated,. that the Republicans need one more vote to retain control of the Senate. May not this account for some of the activity In pushing the contest of George M. Pritchard for the seat to which Josiah William Bailey was elected by such a decid ed majority. President Hoover favors a reduc tion In the number of army camps for the sake of economy. If Mr. Hoover would eliminate a score or so of his various commissions and reduce the number of lnactlves on the government payroll at Wash ington, government expenses would be materially reduced. The charge that attempts had been made to influence the votes of State senators by a considera tion has started an investigation. That offers have been made may or may not be true, but the mat-j ter should be thoroughly sifted. While that Is going on, perhaps the Legislature can come to an under standing as to raising the neces sary revenue for the state to pay for the six-months school terms proposed In the MacLean bill. In connection with the contest by George M. Prltchard against Jo slah William Bailey over the elec tion for U. S. Senator, Federal Judg es Webb, Hayes and Meeklns order ed the ballot boxes impounded last week. Attorney-General Brummltt found some law that put the pro cedure in doubt and the orders have been vacated. The State authori ties, it Is stated, will lend neces sary assistance for handling the count of the ballot. It looks like Mr. Pritchard Is chasing a dim shadow, If through this means he hopes to establish hl? election against a majority of 113,000 for Bailey. Prltchard, being In the "'lame duck" class, whether there Is anything to the contest or not, will get his reward If the Repub licans stay In power. High School Music Contest At High Point College. A state wide music contest will be held at High Point College, High Point, N.-C., May 22nd., In voice piano, and violin. The contest will commence at 2:00 o'clock In the afternoon, and Is open to high school graduates or- those who are graduating this spring. Those entering for piano and voice must have had at least three years training, but any, whether or not they have had previous train ing, are eligible for the contest In voice. The contestants will perform screened from the Judges. All the registrations must be forwarded to the College Music Department not later than May 18th. The winner in each contest will be awarded a music scholarship at High Point College for 1931-1933. The honorary degree of LL. D <doctor of laws) will be conferred upon President Frank P. Graham, president of the University, at the coming commencement at David son College. 1 Two Duke students, Lawrence C Lawless of Norfolk, Va., and Sey mour C. Jones, Jr., of Okolona, Miss, were killed early last Saturday night near Durham when the cat In which they were riding upset Two ladies with them escaped ser ^OUS Injury Elon College Looking For a President. The resignation of Dr. W. A. Har per, president of Elon College for 20 years, professor for six years and a former student, leaves the trus tees at sea In a way as to filling the vacancy. He was Identified with the college when he was chosen president and It was not hard to crystallze sentiment In his favor. In fact, he was already chosen be fore his formal election. In large measure he grew up with the col lege. Both have grown together all these years and the mention of one was to think of the other. It is different now. For a head for the college, the trustees must leave the campus to find a man. Those mentioned have their advo cates and there will naturally be some diversity of opinion. In the end a majority will have to agree. Among those mentioned as his successor are the following: Dr. Havilah Babcock of the University of South Carolina; Dr. L. E. Smith of Norfolk, Va.; Rev. Alfred W. Hurst, college pastor; Dr. J. Edward Klrbye of Raleigh; Dr. Jason Noble Pierce of Vanderbilt School of Re ligion, Nashville, Tenn.; Rev. Stanley C. Harrell of Durham; Prof. L. L. Vaughn of Raleigh; Rev. H. S. Hardcastle of Suffolk, Va.; Dr. H. Shelton Smith of Yale University; Dr. Walter S. Athearn, former dean of Boston University School of Religious Education. A number of others have been men tioned, whose fitness, no doubt, compares favorable with those named above. All mentioned are leaders, and almost to a man they have now or have had experience In college management. The Smiths, Bab cock, Harrell and Hardcastle are Elon products. Before leaving this subject, It is noted that Dr. Harper has been mentioned and is being backed for the presidency of the University of Virginia to succeed the late Dr. E. A. Alderman, an honor than 'which no greater, perhaps, could come to anyone In the field of education. t~> . WT At XTT vajuniy wenare wore. Juvenile Court, Probation and Parole Work.

Burling RALEIGH LETTER By CARL GOERCH The Hon. A. D. MacLean an nounced on the floor of the house last week that the legislature was being corrupted by wine, women and song. The following day he apologized by saying that he was wrong so far as the singing was concerned. The apology has been accepted. As an apologist, Mr. MacLean is In a class by himself. His Idea of a perfect apology Is to call a man seven different kinds of a horse thief and then apologize to him for having spoken harshly to his dog. Talking about apologies?wonder what kind of apologies some of the members of the legislature are go ing to make to their constituents when they get back home again! That's where the real art will come In. Outside of calling one another liars, thieves, scoundrels and gen telmen of no principle?which no one outside the legislature Is deny ing?the so-called statesmen have not been accomplishing very much during the last week. It looks as though they might adjourn this week. It's been looking like that for the last five weeks. Mr. MacLean was home for the week-end. He said that the great est danger, so far as his side of the fight was concerned, was that some ' of his co-workers might be forced to leave Raleigh because their mon ey was giving out. If that hap pens, his little house of cards Is liable to fall all to pieces. He ad- 1 mitted frankly that he didn't know what was going to happen. I'll get 1 one thing, though; he'll fight right 1 to the bitter end. ' Mr. Ward, another one of our 1 local citizens who is In the leglsla- i ture, was a little bit more explicit ' In the Information he gave out. "Mr. Ward," I said, "What do you think of the legislature?" 1 ? n !! H ? i ? the legislature!" he exclaimed. ? And then. Just as soon as he could , draw another deep breath, he ad- j ded: "Of all the !! i Si I never have seen In my i nfe!" And then he turned around and ( strode away. A whole lot of folks | will agree with Mr. Ward's opinion on the subject. , The highway commission has , been appointed and is getting down , to work. Mr. Jeffress will make an j excellent chairman. As a matter j of fact, the entire board Is com- ( posed of men who can be depended , upon to give North Carolina the ( very best of service. Leslie R. Am- ; es will be at the head of the prac- ' tlcal workings of the highway de- , partment. He Is the right man In , the right place. You know, when ( you come to consider the personnel of the commission, one by one, you j can't help but agree that the Gov ernor showed real brains in select ing such a bunch of men td carry on the road work of the State. , They and Mr. Ames are going to do some real work; you just wait and see! Getting back to Mr. MacLean again, I'm sort of the opinion that he was mistaken In the assertion he made from the floor of the house relative to the personal con duct of some of the members. I was up In Raleigh last week and I personally Interviewed at least six ty members of the house and sen ate. In every case I asked them the same questions. These ques tions and their answers were as follows: "Have you, yourself, been drink ing too much liquor since you have been In Raleigh and have you been drunk since the legislature went Into session?" "NO!!" "Have you, yourself, been flirting or otherwise been misbehaving with any of the beautiful and charming ladies who may have been In or near Raleigh since Jan uary 6?" "NO! I!" That seems to settle the issue In very definite fashion. Mr. Mac Lfean probably got his Information from Indirect sources, so there was a chance that he might have been mistaken. I got mine direct from headquarters, so It's bound to be true. If It were not true, then the ? only possible conclusion would be that the men whom I had lnter i viewed had told me a direct lie. i Preposterous, of course. Who ev . er heard of a legislator telling a : He! > ????? i ton 2.00 ?

Dr. W. T. Whltsett spent Satur day In Randolph county where he delivered the commencement ad dress at the closing exercises of the Providence high school, which for some years has been in charge of Prof. Cecil Cox. This is one of the larger consolidated schools of Ran dolph, and Is located near the well known Providence Friends church, which was established by the Quak ers In 1769 and in 1929 erected one of the most attractive country church buildings to be found In the state. A handsome bronze memorial tablet has been placed during the past few days In the walls of Brick Reformed church preparatory to Its unveiling at the Centennial cel ebration to be held there May 21 to 24. The tablet carries the stdty of the founding of the classls of the church at that place one century ago, and preserves the names of those who took part In its estab lishment at that time. , Work Is now In progress on the old spring located at the foot of the hill In the grove; this will be made a very attractive spot, and the surround ing grove will be converted Into a small park, adding much to the beauty of the grounds. Dr. Jacob C. Leonard, who Is the state clerk of the classls of his church, was here a few days ago from Lexing ton to look after final details of the approaching meeting. A large audience assembled at the school on Friday evening to at tend the exercises In charge of Miss Kate McLean, teacher of mu sic, and Miss Minnie Kallam, who has the fifth and sixth grade pup ils, In charge. Clifton Fritzgerald, of Davidson county, is here for a visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. r. L. Fitzgerald. Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Morgan and Rev. and Mrs. C. W. McClanahan of Salisbury were visitors here today with Dr. and Mrs. W. T. Whltsett. At the morning hour, Dr. Morgan preached the commencement ser mon before the Glbsonville graded school. The usual memorial services at the Glbsonvllle cemetery located Setween here and Glbsonvllle on the Springwood-Gibsonville high way was held at 3 p. m. The work of recent years has made this \ very attractive place. S. V. May Is chairman of the committee hav ing the work In charge. The grounds have been Inclosed; a pa irlllon and entrance gates built; md the cemetery laid off Into plats and drives. This was the burial place for the Gibson family after whom the town of Glbsonvllle was named, and several other of the. older families were burled here. Misses Catherine Morgan, Brown ie Taylor, and Virginia Troxler, all students at North Carolina College for Women, were here Sunday In order to attend the exercises at the Glbsonvllle high school. Dr. and Mrs. Ernest Clapp of New Paltz, N. Y., were visitors here last Saturday with relatives. Dr. Clapp is a leading minister In the Dutch Reformed church and is a son of the late Dr. Jacob Crawford Clapp who was for many years the president of Catawba college In this state while the college was lo cated at Newton. Dr. and Mrs. Clapp while on this trip will visit many places throughout the Pied mont section during their stay of several weeks. Some needed work was done on the grounds of Sprlngwood church during the past week. Next Sunday afternoon. May 17, Is the date for the annual memorial services at the Glbsonville ceme tery. Rev. Enoch Hlte will preach at Prledens church at 11 a. m., next Sunday, May 17th. Dr. W. T. Whltaett was the speaker before the Lutheran Broth erhood at a largely attended meet ing held in Macedonia Lutherar church, Burlington, Sunday even ing. He spoke on the topic: "Out Mothers; Our Mother Church; Oui Mother Country." There are three graduates from this plape at the QlbsonvlUe high school this year: Virginia Boone Ruth Hinshaw, and Carrie Brewei Whltaett. James Torreyson and his son, D H. Torreyson, who have been awaj for some time on a trip to Missouri reached home Saturday after hav ing travelled about twenty-flvr hundred miles. W. T. Whltaett, Jr., whose homr Is at this place has recently beer elected secretary of the Dnlversltj Olee Club and vice president of th< Phi Mu Alpha, a musical club, a1 the State University for the com ing year where he Is a member ol the Junior class. Sunday, June 7th, has been fixer as the time for the annual memo rial exercises at Frtedens church This will mark the 180th annivers ary ot this church as it was organ lzed In 1771 as a regular church or ganization; services were held up on the same grounds, however, for ten years before this date. The long and interesting history of this church is being collected, and will be published in book form when completed. The cemetery adjoin ing the church grounds is one of the largest country cemeteries in the state and Is estimated to con tain from four to five thousand graves. John A. Clapp, a well-known res ident of the Brick Church commu nity, who has been in Rainey hos pital, Burlington, for several weeks, was able to return home last week. FARMER HARVESTS SWAMP TIMBER White willows planted on land too swampy for hay growing have proved profitable on the Vaux farm near Faribault, Minn. Wil lows were planted 3 feet apart on 2 1-2 acres 20 years ago. They have furnished hundreds of fence posts, lumber for repairs, and poles for sheds, and a considerable amount of the material has been sold, according to Parker O. Ander son, Minnesota extension forester. NOTICE OF SALE!
