NEWS AND COMMENT
The last two weeks have witnessed
events of momentous import. The
eyes of the world at the beginning
of the period were upon England,
concerned with the event of the gen
eral strike. .The strike seems to
have ended with loss of prestige to
the effectiveness of the *reneral
strike and with Great Britain's
credit enhanced, the pound going to
par a few days ago for the first time
in- several years. The non-union folk
of England did not tamely submit tc
having all transportation and indus
try stopped and themselves left on the
verge of famine. Volunteers rushed
to. take the place of strikers in the
most essential positions, and this
the most general of all strikes has
failed in its purpose.
;Two Parties Reach North Pole
Since midwinter two parties had
been planning flights to the north
pale. Lieutenant Commander Byrd;
brother of the governor of Virginia
was ready to hop off a few days
earlier than Roald Amundsen, the in
trepid Norwegian discoverer of the
south pole. Byrd, as reported last
wjsek, flew successfully to the pole and
returned to Spitzbergen within fifteen
hours. Amundsen, good sport that
he is, was among those who cheered
him. on his safe return. Amundsen
himself, with a party of seventeen,
including young Ellsworth of New
York who was the financial backer of
the enterprise, set out in the Italian
built dirigible from Spitzenbergen,
Tuesday, May 11, and sailed straight
for the pole without mishap. The
radio reported his arrival at the pole,
but after his departure toward Alas
ka, for his plan was to fly across the
top of the world, the radio lost him
. and the world wondered, and feared a
mishap. But, true to form, Amund
sen came out of the north, as he
years ago came out of the south,
and his great dirigible was landed
at Terry, 75 miles north of Nome,
Alaska. The only mishap was in
cutting of the gas bag by ice throw
from the Norge’s propellers, whit'
accident caused the loss of consul*? •
able gas and slowed down the pro;
ress of the airship. Into the nor v
country to report the result of iV
dirigible’s flight and other arctic
vents, Jack Lyon, a Greensboro bo
now a famous reporter, had gom
and amid it all came news that h
was missing, but Lyon, like Amund
sen, is hard to lose, and later new
indicated his safety.
Civil War in Poland
While the foregoing events wer*
in progress, civil war broke out ir
Poland, instigated by General Pil
sudski, a former president. With the
aid of part of the government troops
he seized Warsaw. The president
escaped and from a safe point began
organizing resistance. What it is
all about is hard to say, and why
a country cursed with war for nearly
a decade should start a civil war, is
one of the strange things in a world
that pretends to want peace.
Luther’s Government Falls
In Germany a crisis came in the
administration of prime minister
Luther and he has been succeeded by
Dr.. Wilhelm Marx by choice of Pres
ident Hindenburg.
Religious Conventions
While the foregoing events of
national and international concern
Baptist Convention and the General
Conference of the Methodists of the
South were in session. Both of these
great bodies took a firm stand for
the enforcement of the prohibitior
laws. The Methodists postpones f
the time the questions of union w
the Northern church and the for*
lation of a constitution. The Bn
tists asked Rockefeller for a
sum to aid in the support of ag-~
and infirm ministers, took a star
against evolution, and gave the usue
attention to the general problems o
the body.
Only two more days to get in*'
the field as a candidate for county
offices. There was room for anothe
candidate or two for county cominis
sioner.
There is hardly any news in th
paper of more interest than the Stan
dard Oil Company’s announcement of
the marketing of its new preparation
“Esso”. Get some and see the old
flivver kick up its heels like a young
filly.
The drought is becoming serious.
Chatham has had two bad crop years
in succession and has poor prospects
at this writing for a good one this
year.
With over three millions in the
treasury Governor McLean’s business
policy has been justified.
Amundsen now has to his credit
visits to both poles. He should round
out his experience by an aerial visit
to the south pole, which he discovered
several years ago under difficulties
that would have discouraged a less
courageous and persistent man.

PRIMARY JUNE sth, FOR SECOND TERM
“We did it before, we’ll do it again
Vote for Williams and vote to WIN”
THE PEOPLES CANDIDATE
(Harnett News)
(Smithfield Herald)
WILLIAMS A MODEL
SOLICITOR.
The News has long been of the
opinion that the of Harnett,
Lee, Chatham, Johnston, and Wayne
ire fortunate in their selection of
Dawson Williams as solicitor of this
listrict. In fact, The News was so
horoughiy convinced that \viliiams
votild “make good that we openly
dvocated his election at the hands
f the voters in the last primary,
"hat our judgment is shared by oth
ers is shown by the following from
he Smithfield Herald:
Solicitor Clawson L. Williams, of
Hanford, is evidently making himself
elt upon the minds of the people of
fohnston. About the close of the
December, 1925, criminal term of
• court here a very highly respected
citizen of the county met this writer
on the streets one day and after an
jxchange of greetings, he had some
thing to say about the solicitor about
ike this: “Williams is one of the
iblest lawyers * I know anywhere.
He would make us a good Governor,
ind we Johnston county people ought
to begin to push him forward right
iow for that office.” The idea does
>.ot seem at all bad to this writer.
xJot only is Mr. Williams a very able
awyer, but he is one of our own
r chnston county boys off from home
making good, and if this little boost
will do him any good on his way up
o the Governor’s Mansion, he is wel
come to it.
And since Clawson Williams comes
before the people for endorsement
lext spring to succeed himself, we
ee nothing else for the voters to do
visely except to endorse him before
land and let him have his second
erm without extraordinary expense
icident to the primary. About the
Governorship proposition well,
v-e’ll have to talk to Clawson about
that. He’s young enough yet to
vait.

AUGUST TERM 1924 SUPERIOR
COURT WAYNE COUNTY
The public generally have watcheo
with pride and favorable comment
the fine manner in which our uni
versally esteemed and popular Solici
tor Mr. Clawson Williams, has prose
cuted the criminal docket during this
term of court. His abilities have
been put to the test in many ways,
but he has proven himself equal tc
every phase of the duties that have
arisen, and his fine talents have not
only been in evidence in handling ex
amination of witnesses, but before
the jury he has pleaded for the right
eous administration of the laws with
such forceful, clear-cut arguments as
to receive high commendation not
only from court spectators, but from
members of the bar, who feel that
they must need guard well every gap
in arguments for their clients when
the present able Solicitor is to be
reckoned with.
(Goldsboro Record)
WAYNE COUNTY SUPERIOR
COURT .SEPTEMBER 1925
Possibly at no term of court since
his election has Solicitor Clawson
Williams been so put on his metal and
been weighed so finely in the balance
as he has at this term of Wayne Su
perior court, and without going into
useless eulogy, which he does not need
because his sterling Christian char
acter stands out for itself, we will
•simply say he has proved himself of
pure gold and strong where courage
was needed,.
(Harnett News)
SEPTEMBER TERM 1925
HARNETT SUPERIOR COURT
Os course, the people of Harnett
are favorably impressed with Solici
tor Clawson Williams and his man
ner of prosecuting the wrong doers.
Not that anyone holds anything in
particular against a lawbreaker, but
this business of trying those ac
cused of being criminals is a serious
one, not to be regarded lightly, and
certainly should not be indulged in
except by those who are of the right
mind towards th law themselves.—

!; “Danderine” makes your |j
|| hair fluffy, glossy and
beautiful Jj
Within ten minutes after an ap
plication of Danderine you can not
find a single trace of dandruff. One
application dissolves every particle of
dandruff; invigorates the scalp, stops
Itching and falling hair. 1
Furthermore Danderine is to the
hair what fresh showers of rain and
sunshine are to vegetation. It goes
right to the roots, invigorates and '■
strengthens them. Its exhilarating,
stimulating and life-producing prop
rties cause the hair to grow strong
nd beautiful.
Bobbed hair has made the girls a
warc of the dangerous effects of un
sightly dandruff which is now more
apparent than ever since the liair is
short.
Danderine is a sure way to get rid
of dandruff and immediately doubles
che beauty of your hair. The effect
is amazing—your hair will be light,
fluffy and wavy, and have an appear
ance of abundance; an incomparable
iustre, softness and luxuriance.
Get a small bottle of Danderine
from any drug store or toilet counter
for a few cents and keep that dandruff
out of your hair and off your shoul
ders.
