THE G1 EANER GRAHAM, N. C.. AUG. 20. 1937 ISSUED EVERT THURSDAY J. D. KERNODLE, Editor $1.00 A YEAR, IN ^ADV ANCE Knteved at the Poatoffioe at Graham. N. C., as second-claw matter. Presidential Timber North Carolinians are a mod est people, as a rul i. Rath _>r, they shun the limelight ? not always trying to get on the front seat. Occasionally, how ever, the things they do put them in the forefront. An outstanding instance is the part Senator Bailey took iu the court reorganization debate a few days ago. What he did was not a bid for notoriety. It was a burst of patriotism, a di vining of danger to his country and the ultimate welfare of the people in the comiug years. He was fighting for the preserva tion of the foundations upon which the Government of the United States of America had grown to greatness in the past one hundred and fifty years. Mr. Bailey, mature in years, mature in thought and learning, recognized the wisdom and in spiration that guided the found ers of the American Republic. He was not playing for favor and popularity, but he dared to stand for that which would con tinue to assure to the American people the blessings of civil liberty ? a Constitution as a guide poet, not a thing, a tool, that can be used, shifted and changed for the promotion of personal designs and schemes. The nation, regardless of partisan affiliation, has taken notice of Senator Bailey's stand; that he is a safe counsellor; not withstanding the President in his speech at Manteo last week did not allude to him, unless he was included in the "Tories." The President's speech on the occasion did not set well and made him no friends. Criticism, some of it quite caustic, con stituted most that was said about it. Mr. Bailey's attitude toward the court reorganization propos al has turned the eyes of the nation on him, regardless of partisan affiliation, as fit and safe presidential timber. Alluding to Senator Bailey as a possible candidate for. the presidency, in connection with the Roanoke Island episode, the Dunn Dispatch said: "Senator Bailey is a conser vative. One of the old-line de mocrats who see where the wild orgy of government spending, increasing taxes, multiplicity of government departments, and higher cost of living is lead ing. ilis right to be a candidate in is what makes America great, and it is the conservativ es counter balancing the radi cals that keep America great. The next President of the United States should be conser vative, and Senator Bailey has shown a conservative foresight, sincerity and ability which will make him acceptable as a can JMate. jP*North Carolina instead of tuning her back on such a pos sibility should be proud that lie is mentioned and lend a hand." It looks like trouble is brew ing on the part of the United States and Great Britain on ac count of the death of an Ameri can citizen and the serious in . jury of a British citizen due to * disregard in the Sino- Japanese war of the rights of others than their citizens in theinternation \ ill sooe. k ?iy . m Sine Die ? And Again | A long session, historically so, I of Congress adjourned at 7 :22 Saturday evening with the shadow of an extra session in October hanging over it. The adjournment was no love ' feast, no singing songs of joy. I The eight months' tessiou had I been one of sharp antagon | isms, especially on the court re ' organization schedule. The De mocrats were not in full accord with the President ? not enough so to fall in line with all the legislation he and his advisers had mapped out. Even before the adjournment, it had been made known that there was other legislHtion in the hopper that must go through the mill. That the Congress Deeded a rest, no one will gaiusay. It. had been a wearing, consuming grind. Mr. lioosevelf, for him self, felt it necessary to go away occasionally for a few days rest and relaxation. The Congress could not do so. Even if the Congress gets together agaia by November, no one who has tried to keep track of the numerous blood heating breaks, believes it will be greatly cooled, or in a humor to recede from the stubborn stands heretofore taken. The Congress is divided into militant factions that threaten party harmony in the future. If Democratic party suprem acy is to prevail beyond the present administration, there will have to bo much composiug of differences, giving and tak ing. The Administration must recognize that the Congress is composed of red-blooded Ameri cans, who love their country and are conscientiously striving to serve its best interests, pres ent and future; that, when they have quit official life, would like to hear the plaudit: "Well done." Another woman goes to'the United States 'Senate ? Mrs. Dixie Graves, wife of Gov. Bibb Graves of Alabama, and ap pointed by the Governor. She fills the vacancy caused by the resignation and appointment of Senator Hugh Black to the U. S. Supreme Court to succeed Justice Willis VanDevanter, re tired. She was sworn in last Friday. A special election will be called to elect a successor to Black. Gov. Graves states she will not bo a candidate for elec tion to the seat nnd that he ap pointed her to prevent giving anyone of the probable candi dates any advantage in the race. The election will take place on the 26th of next April. Justin Miller, former dean of the law school of Duke Univer sity, was appointed last Friday by President Roosevelt an As sociate Justice of the United States Court of Appeals of the. District ot Columbia. He is a , native of California and 47 years old. He was a member j of the United States Board ofi Tax Appeals. The employees, about 350, of a half dozen big railroads have been holding conferences over a demand for 20 percent advance in wages. The railroads have refused them, and say they could not stand an 8 percent advance and continue to oper ate. The railroad brotherhoods have named September 6th as the date the employees will strike. Halifax county farmer* are be coming concerned over the high price for ho*s and are seeking to1 improve the quality of present breeding Block. ? l Miss Proctor (or Young Demo critic National Com mitteewoman At a recent meeting of thi Young Democratic club of Rob eson county, Miss Elizabett Proctor of Lumberton w a ( unanimously endorsed for th< position of National Oommittee woman of the Young Demo cratic clubs of North Carolina. Speaking of the candidacy of Miss Proctor and the local club's unanimous endorsement The Robesonian, refering to the resolution of endorsement, said: "It pointed out that 'Miss Proctor is a member of this clul and has been active. in the work of the organization,' is vice chairman of the Robeson coun ty club, coines from a family of luyal and prominent Democrats, is. a young lady of charm, per sonality and efficiency, with the ability to serve and would serve as national committeeman with honor and distinction to the or ganization and to North Caro lina.1 Miss Proctor is a daugh ter of Mrs. James D. Proctor and the late Mr. Proctor, who was state senator- elect from Robeson county at the time of his death." The resolution further points out that the movement in favor of Miss Proctorj "originated) with some of the leaders of the or ganization in North Carolina and has the approval and sup port of the chairman of the seventh district." Miss Proctor i s quite well known in Graham and other parts of Alamance county and her friends would be much pleased at her selection by the State convention of young De mocratic clubs a t Winston Salem, in September, as the re presentative from North Caro lina. Guossly Unjust Some party or parties, hoping to gain an advantage iu the late Liquor Store election, circu lated a report that Sheriff H. J. Stockard was part owner in a roadside inn where i t is suspi cioned or believed liquor is sold. Sheriff Stockard is justly in dignant. To say the least, it was "dirty" politics and could serve little purpose in the issue up for decision. Evidently it was intended to weaken the Sheriff's influence or create sen timent against him in the event he should again offer for office. When there is a theft or any other infraction of the law in the county, day or night, if ad vised, he goes regardless of his personal comfort The charge is a gross injus tice. Miuate auimals, almost micro scopic io size, are t lie cluef focd of the whala. The female of the silkworm moth canuot fly_ at all and the male can fly only don ward. PACIFIC FIR GOES TO NEW YORK FAIR NEW YORK (Special^. ? "Good old Douglas fir" from the Pacific Northwest will provide the foundations for the most spectacular of wonders at the New York World's Fair of 1939. This was learned when the Fair Corpo ration offices in the Empire State build ing announced the purchase of more than $100,000 worth of fir pilings from the National Pole Treating Company, This particular lot of fir sticks will be driven into the ash fill of the 1216Vi-acre exposition site to guarantee the support of the two unique structures forming the Theme Centre of the "Nation's Fair." These are the 200-foot Perisphere. a globe seemingly supported on the waters of fountains, and the Trylon. a 700-foot triangular needle or beacon and broad casting tower. Shipments of the 1260 sticks. 93 to 99 feet in length, arc taking place this month, after creosote treatment has been accorded them either at the National Pole and Treating Company's plant at Hill yard, Washington, or at the Minneapolis yards. This Is the Fair's second purchase of fir from Northwest sources. An order for 770 sticks of similar length was filled . early this year from Oregon cuttings. This earlier shipment of piling supports tha Fair's 1000.000 Administration Build ing already erected on the gtotfeds. - BOUNDARY SQUABBLE AT LAST ADJUSTED 3 Vermont - New Hampihire Limits Clearly Defined. Washington, D. C.? In 1912 Ver ' mont and New Hampshire decided to ask the United States Supreme court where one begins and the oth er ends. Now they know. % Finally approved a few weeks ago was Special Commissioner Samuel S. Gannett's report on the 238-mile boundary line which follows the me | anderings of the Connecticut river between the two states. Actually, 206 disputed miles of line were sur i veyed, from which the whole bound ary was marked beyond doubt or question. > "This," says the National Geo i graphic society, "is the last word in a boundary squabble which has caused bloodshed, engendered a re fusal to admit the free republic of Vermont to the United States until 1791, and inspired Vermont's flirta tion with a Canadian union. It even involved efforts to split off a sepa rate state between Vermont and New Hampshire. "The newly approved boundary apparently changes no one's post office address, transfers not a single mile-square parcel of ground, and will necessitate no changes in maps on an ordinary scale. The Connec ticut river's west bank has in re cent years been the accepted bound ary "and the new line merely marks off the west bank's original low wa ter mark before dams were built to alter the river's flow. Bridges and Taxation. "The result has been to allot Ver mont jurisdiction over a few more bucketsful of river in one spot, sev eral tubfuls more to New Hamp shire in another. It may now be definitely known at which ripple Ver 'mont regulations govern trout fish ing and where New Hampshire game laws apply. "The true basis for a boundary dispute this late in history is the problem of bridges and taxation. It ,is a question of which state shall receive the taxes on riverside pa per, lumber, and pulp mills, and the huge hydroelectric plants from whose dams on the Connecticut riv er power lines carry electricity throughout much of New England. Vermont is awarded a new island or so and some new exclusive tax cli ents. New Hampshire wins the ex pensive duty of maintaining most of the bridges. "The upper Connecticut is a well behaved little river, and would hardly have worn out the boundary line if left to itself. Except for sev eral cut-offs, its rocky route, twisted "and slow, has changed little since a lively logging industry filled it with rafts of timber from low wooded mountains on both sides. Now logs must come down to the pulp mills by truck or rails, foe. the river is blocked by ten power dams in its 200-mile career as a boundary. Be cause height of the river is now al most completely controlled by these dams, the natural low water mark was lost and had to be 'fished' for. To establish it, a survey of the river had to be supplemented by old maps and blue prints. D.I.. AVt V <1. PI ?EIJ UU -1UI 111 o va I . "Accuracy of this survey was guaranteed by starlight. Early American surveyors worked with the compass, which varies even dur ing a day in the same place. This survey was checked every three or four miles by reference to the North star. With transit, surveying rods, and chains, a single commissioner and his small field party of engi neers settled a boundary which had baffled three commissions before 1792 and had caused bitter fight ing. "As the actual line between Ver mont and New Hampshire is usual ly submerged, it was not practical to mark it with monuments on the spot. The line is indicated by 91 reference markers, bronze plates on granite shafts planted five feet deep to defeat the New England frost. "The Vermont-New Hampshire boundary is the longest, and pos sibly the longest-disputed, to be marked in recent years. Since 1920, six other stats line disputes have been settled by the Supreme court and Commissioner Gannett. Arkan sas had lines drawn for about 10 I miles each along the boundaries which it shares with Tennessee and Mississippi. A Minnesota-Wisconsin limit was fixed for about 17 miles, surveyed in winter on the ice around Duluth. The capricious Mississippi necessitated a survey between Lou isiana and Mississippi, confirming Louisiana's claim to about 12 square miles in dispute. "Texas has required the most . boundary doctoring. A new line be- | tween the Lone Star state and Okla- J homa was run for 134 miles along the one-hundredth meridian. The re sult was one of the straightest and 1 most accurately determined bound aries on record, and it pared off 45 square mile* of Oklahoma to en i large Texas. On the Texas-New Mexico boundary was run one of the 1 crookedest lines possible, requiring ; five monuments per mile to keep it from getting lost in its own mean ders. Part of the line between 'Col orado and New Mexico is still un- 1 marked, and uncertainty exists over ! bits of the Texas-Arkansas and the Virginia-District of Columbia bound- * aries. Otherwise, state; lines ft th? j United States are pretty definite." ' Mebane Six Counties Fair Sept. 13?18 Special Days (or Veterans For eign Wars, American Legion, Firemen and Boy Scouts. Firemen, members of the Amer ican Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and ' Boy Scouts will be guests of the Mebane Six Coun ties Fair, which begins September 13 for six da.rs and nights.

Ample parking space for the im mense crowds anticipated Is ar ranged. 91 Counties Share Old Age Aid in July; Children in 74 Counties Aggregate Payments Amounted to *41,513.80 It has been announced jy the State Board 61 CS|ritie?l and Pub lic Welfare from Raleigh', that for the month of July a total o f {<1,513.30 was paid to approximate ly 4,968 persons in North Caro lina in Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children bene fits.
