HIGHLANDER 1 DEMANDS EAIR PLAYraR BAILEY Takes the "Big Four” Newspa pers to Task For Employing a "Subsidized Republican” Cor respondent, Whose Chief Duty i According to Highlander, is to Defame Mr. Bailey, Democrat ic Candidates, and Praise Mr. Morrison and Mr. McLean. SAYS CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, WINSTON JOURNAL, ASHEVILLE CITIZEN, AND WILMINGTON STAR, IF THEY WANT THE PEO PLE TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY PRINT ABOUT MR. BAILEY “WILL HAVE TO GET SOMEONE BESIDES A SUBSIDIZED REPUB LICAN TO DO THE WRITING” The Above Papers, Says the High lander. “Must Have Let Their Hat red For Mr. Bailey Blind Them to Every Sense of Fairness and Prop riety, To Do Such a Thing.” (Shelby Highlander.) The Highlander in this issue es pouses the cause of Hon. J. W. Bailey for the Democratic nomination for the Governorship of North Carolina believing that it can in addition to supporting one of the most brilliant men in public life in the State, assist in a small way in helping to smash one of the most powerful political “rings” that has ever been known in the history of the State. At present Mr. Bailey is the only avowed canu date in the field, though it is generally understood that Hon. A. W. McLear will in a short time make his an nouncement. If Mr. Bailey receives the nomina tion it will be by the vote of the rank and file, the present state or ganization and practically all of its henchmen already being lined up to whoop it up for the machine candi date, who as yet has failed to chirp. Practically all of the daily papers including a large percentage of the Raleigh correspondents, are busy sending in stuff to their papers fav orable to McLean, and itjappears that Mr. Brock BarKley, Raleigh corres pondent for the Charlotte Observer Asheville Citizen, Wilmington Star and Winston-Salem Journal, is on the State’s payroll as Secretary to Gov ernor Morrison’s Shipping Commis sion, for which he received, until re cently, a salary of $1,500.00 per year ■ t also appears that Mr. Barkley does not render any service to the State to amount to anything, in considera tion of his salary. We do not say that the onjoyment of this sinecure influences or directs his pen, but it is well known that he reports all things relating to Mr. Morrison’s administra tion and to Mr. McLean’s candidacy, favorably, and all things relating to Mr. Bailey’s candidacy, unfavorably. The fact that Mr. Barkley was re ceiving this subsidy from the admin istration has been known to the public for several weeks. Just how long the newspapers represented by Mr. Bark ley have known of his connection we are unable to say, but since the pub lic announcement of the fact, there has been no report of Mr. Barkley’s resigning from either of these papers or of their having asked him to resign. We are informed that this is the same Mr. Barkley who edited “The Review” in Charlotte a short time ago and waged a very bitter campaign against Mr. Clyde Hoey, democrat, in favor of Mr. John M. Morehead, re publican, when these two gentlemen ran for the seat in Congress vacated by Hon. E. Y. Webb. It is understood that Mr. Barkley was horn of republi can stock ,and therefore may have come by his republican inclinations quite naturally. We have no quarrel with him on that score. W T e are at a loss to understand, however, how Mr Barkley got to be regular correspond ent for four; such papers as Asheville Citizen, Charlotte Observer, Wilming ton Star and Winston-Salem Journal —papers that boast of their demo cratic record and regularity. Os course, Mr. Wade H. Harris editor of the Charlotte Observer and Mr. Barkley, have been drinking a 4 ! the same fountain—both holding jobs under Mr. Morrison’s administration from which nearly all, if not all, the work has been eliminated. This fact may have blinded the Charlotte Ob server to the impropriety of such a connection. As to the other papers mentioned, there is bound to be some strong, invisible influence operating behind the scenes to cause sue* staunchly democratic newspapers t( employ a republican correspondent t< represent them in Raleigh as officia purveyor of political news, the chiei ; duty of which reporter, apparently, if to attack another democrat in his cam paign for nomination for Governor These papers must hare let Ihhu ha« j red for Mr. Bailey blind them to every . i sense of fairness and propriety, to do , such a thing. Surely, it cannot be said that the Charlotte Observer knew nothing ol Mr. Barkley’s record. The Review was published in Charlotte. It sup ported Mr. Morehead, republican, also of Charlotte, against Mr Clyde Hoey democrat, of Shelby. It was very gen erally circulated in Charlotte and in the 9th Congressional District. Is it possible that the Charlotte Observer was not cognizant of the forces operat ing to defeat the democratic candi date in that memorable struggle? Suppose we follow Mr. Barkley’s career a little further. What do we find? After Mr. Hoey, the democratic can didate had defeated Mr. Morehead, the republican candidate supported Mr. Barkley, the Charlotte Observer put Mr. Barkley on its staff and sent him over the State to report the speeches of Mr. Morrison, who was then a candidate for nomination for Governor again Mr. Max Gardner and Mr. R. N. Page. A little later he is sent to Raleigh and becomes the political reporter of the Observer and other democratic papers mentioned herein. After arriving in Raleigh, Mr. Mor rison’s administration appointed Mr. Barkley Secretary to the Shipping Commission. His duties, so we are informed, consist largely of drawing his breath and his salary of $1,500.00 per year, the while he puts in full time for his newspapers, filling them with praise of Mr. Morrison’s admin istration, predictions Qf victory for Mr McLean and defeat for Mr. Bailey To cap the climax, in December, 1923 just as* the present campaign was opening, without any increase so far as known, in his duties as Clerk of the Shipping Commission, Mr. Barkley’s salary was raised by the administra tion $300.00, making his salary at present $1,800.00 per year. What does it mean? The Charlotte Observer, Asheville Citizen, W inston Salem Journal, Wilmington Star, Mr Morrison’s administration and Mr Barkley, are all strong in their op position to Mr. Bailey. Can it be that this is the explanation! Surely no other influence could induce these democrats to make common cause with a republican against a fellow democrat. We still have faith that the rank and file of the democratic party want to see fair play, and we doubt if many will approve of such a thing as this. Certain it is, if the papers referred to want the reading public to believe what they print about Mr Bailey, they will have to get some one beside a subsized republican to do the writing. BMLET PUNKS ARE SOUND CIVIC TIMBER In this paper will be found the an nouncement of Hon. J. W. Bailey. It leaves no room for any doubt as to what he stands for. Read the whole statement as well as the following planks made of sound civic timber. 1. Relief of land from the unjust burden of taxation now imposed upon it. 2. Fostering all that makes for progress and the laying of emphasis upon the moral and spiritual values 3. The preaching and the practice of sound economy, getting a dollar’s worth of public service for every dol lar’s worth of taxes paid. 4. To put an end to special favors and special privileges. 5. To call the people to a renewed devotion to law. 6. To draw the policy of the com monwealth to the practical and press ing demands of agriculture with the establishment of just rewards for com mon toil, the encouragement of farm ownership, and the making of farm life more attractive. 7. To establish election and prim ary laws that will end the power ol money in politics. 8. To set the trend of progress in North Carolina more strongly in the selection of local self-government. 9. To renew the Democratic parties spirit by direct coitact with its con stituents. 10. To break down within the Democratic party a “political machine that seeks power only to serve itself.’ 11. To evoke the unrelenting as sertion of the will of the people as a way to public economy, just freight rates, justice in taxation and agricul tural lelief. Here is a specially fine plank-—num • bered 8 above—“To set the trend oi i progress in North Carolina more stong ly in the direction of local self-gov ernment.” —The Catawba News-Enter prise, Newton. DUPLIN COUNTY TO GO FOR MR. BAILEY Mr. Bailey was speaker at Clinton last Monday. Those who heard him saw he made a wonderfully good speech. When Mr. Bailey starts his campaign in real earnest down this way, there is going to be an outpour ing of the voters to give this exponenl • o good government ana economical administration a welcome that will show him Duplin County is going Ik. cast its vote for him and his prin | cipies.—Duplin Record. j Fruit Trees That Need little Room Dwarf Varieties Are Giving Results, Says Department of Agriculture. Since the cottage garden usually quite limited in area, it is necessary to plant fruit trees that will not oc cupy too much space. The dwarf apple and pear trees fill this need admirably and are giving good results in the small home fruit garden, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture. Dwarf apple trees are propagated on what are called Doucin roots, Doucin trees being dwarf in habit of growth, and when the ordinary varieties of ap ples are budded or grafted on Doucin roots the resulting trees are of medium size. The advantage of using dwarf trees Is that many different varieties of ap ples may be grown on a small piece of ground. The trees are small so they can be easily pruned and sprayed. Dwarf apple trees may be planted 14 feet apart each way, and should they make such vigorous growth that the limbs touch across this 14-foot space, they should be kept pruned back 'so as not to crowd. Dwarf apple trees should be only one year old when planted, and should consist of a single shoot. The tree should be set in the ground about an inch deeper than it grew in the nursery. If set deeper than this, roots will start from above the point of budding or grafting and change the tree from a dwarf to a standard. In case it does happen that roots are sent out in this way and the trees make very vigorous growth, it becomes necessary to do root pruning. This is easily done by spading around the tree and cutting off a few of the uppermost roots within about 3 feet of the tree trunk. When planted the top of the tree should be cut off about 30 inches above the ground. This will cause it to form a low top. After the first year’s growth the branches are cut back about, one-half. - After the second and third year’s growth the new branches are cut hack about one-third to one half, and any crowding or crossing branches are cut out. After the third year’s growth, very little pruning is necessary, except to cut out any crowd ing branches. About the fifth or sixth year from planting, the trees usually begin fruiting. Dwarf pear trees are planted and handled the same as dwarf apple trees. Peach, plum, cherry and other fruit trees, should be planted ro the cottage garden in all sections where these A Sturdy Dwarf Fruit Tree. fruits will grow. They may be kept of dwarf size by pruning each year if necessary. Sour cherries usually grow slowly and do not need much cutting back until they are six or eight years old. Peaches should be cut back somewhat every year. Plums need cut ting back to keep them from growing too large. From one-half to a dozen dwarf ap ple trees of varieties covering the full season will furnish enough fruit for the ordinary family during most of the year. It is well to have at least one early and one late summer variety, one early and one late fall variety and two or more winter varieties. Unfor tunately, not very many varieties of dwarf apple trees can be purchased from nurserymen, but that need not keep one from having varieties cover ing the whole season. The way to do is to graft to the desired varieties just before or right after the nursery trees are planted. To do this it is, of course, necessary to secure grafts of the varieties one wishes to grow and then do the grafting, or get someone else who understands grafting to do it. Nurserymen propagate quite a num ber of varieties of dwarf pears so there is no difficulty in getting trees of pear varieties to cover the whole season. blue flowers If you like blue flowers or those with blue varieties, you may choose from cornflower and larkspur, growing feet high; lupine and Japanese bell flower, 2 feet; nemophila, ageratum, lobelia, verbena, and forget-me-not, one foot or less. SPADING THE GARDEN Spading up the garden soil is quite an art, the secret being to cut the soil in small, deep slices and thoroughly pulverize the clods with the edge of the spade or fork as each spadeful or forkful is turned over.
