Capital Letters * By ? Thompson Greenwood TRUMAN'S FACE?The haber dashery countenance of one Harry S. Truman stared grimly up from many a table, room floor, and chair seat at the Hotel Sir Walter here last Sunday morning. The night before, this face, like its owner, silently drop ped out of the program of the Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner? and was walked on, sat on, and generally tossed about. It all happened in this wise: The inside front cover of the dinner program had a small, neat likeness of Truman. On the op posite page was a large one of Governor R. Gregg Cherry. State Chairman Joe Blythe admitted embarrassment at the little oval picture of President Truman, but somehow the program came from the printer that way. Finally, a larger picture?more of a sketch, it seemed,?was obtained and slipped into the program. But it | ! just refused to stay there with the | North Carolina Democrats. To many it seemed a symbol. P. S. Truman's name was men tionel only once during the din ner. Principal Speaker Tom Con-i nally called his name one time! .... and there was scattered | applause. | AT THE DINNER?Kerr Craig Ramsey of Salisbury moving about among the delegates like a dog in high rye . . .

North Carolina Democrats were in sore need of the shot in the arm which the Jackson-Jefferson Dinner gave them on Saturday night. Most of them are worried sick about the national situation. Generally speaking, they don't know it in Eastern North Caro lina. but there are several Demo cratic counties in Western North Carolina which would go Repub lican at the drop of a hat. It looks as if Harry Truman and Henry Wallace, although certainly act ing independently of each other, might have dropped that hat. Keep an eye on it.

G. ! 1928?In 1928, this State went [for Herbert Hoover, and came within an inch or two of going Republican with State offices. It ,took quite a bit of scrambling around in behalf of O. Max Gard ner. In turning against A1 Smith, I Senator F. Mi Simmons and many J 'another outstanding Democrat did' the " local party Vio good. The! leaders don't want to see a re-l currence of this?further south' where the Democrats are solid | ] they can do a lot of bolting and1 kicking?but it can cause trouble j in Western North Carolina, andt In two or three spots in the central and eastern areas. And so?the Old North State Demo-| crats may do a lot of grousing, grumbling, and griping among themselves, but they will support, the Democratic nominees in the fall election, whoever they may be. NOTES?The Democratic State] Convention will likely be held: here on May 20?Sen. W. B.

Broughton has con ducted his campaign for the Sen ate from his beautiful offices in the Insurance Building, which is just across Davie Street from the Sir Walter . . . They say Edwin Gill of Laurinburg, head of the Revenue Department, is the main brain truster in the Johnson camp, . The easiest way to get in touch with Charles Johnson Is to; di?l 6611 and ask for the State, Treasurer's office. Chances are he' will answer the phone in person I. . . They had a Wake County j Young Democrats meeting at the i Sir Walter a few days ago . . . and there were nearly as many; candidates as Young Democrats . . . Mrs. Annie Cooper, veteran1 Clerk of the House, is, the offi-j cial greeter and office secretary in the Johnson secretary in the Johnson headquarters . . . BLOYS BRITT?Weighing ap proximately 240 pounds, Bloys Britt looks more like a handsome cafe society bouncer than a news paperman. He is the new editor of the up-and-coming "Carolina Farmer" magazine. He is secre tary of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce. He is supervisor of sales on the Henderson tobacco market. He has done?and may still be doing?radio work. For five years prior to going to Hen derson he was a reporter for the CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our many friends for their kindness and sympathy during the recent ill ness and death of our beloved husband and father. Mrs. Estelle Jane Hewett Rev. Austin L. Hewett Mrs. J. Wess Stanley CATHOLIC INFORMATION Are you, too, chocked at blatphemy? The name of your God? When you hear it used blasphemously, irreverently, or even carelessly? as you so often do?in books and magazines, from the lips of whis key-soaked tramps and of pretty little debutantes?do you feel that something should be done about it? The Catholic Church felt so some six hundred and fifty years ago. But it did more than feel? it acted; and from that day to this the Holy Name Society has been growing and spreading so that now there is scarcely a Catholic church which does not have a goodly-sized membership of its own. In this country alone there are more than 2,000,000. Holy Name men. Think of it! Two million votes migtit swing a national election. Two million voices could have a tremendous effect on Congress. But the Holy. Name Society has nothing to do with elections on lobbying. It is purely a religious body; two million men?some Democrats, some Republicans, some neither?but all with one dominant purpose: to promote re verence for the Sacred- Name of Christ and to make that Name better known and loved every where. The pledge of the Holy Name 'Society includes also al legiance to God and country; and no man who keeps his pledge can be an unworthy Christian, or aught but a loyal American citi zen. Therefore, when the purpose of the Holy Narfie Society Is under stood, it must, we think, win the endorsement of every true Ameri can, of every man who abhors loose speech, of every Christian who cannot possibly misunder stand or misinterpret the simple, straightforward Commandment of God: "Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain." There is a sound reason behind every Catholic doctrine and de votion. ? CA * ? . If it's anything Catholic, ask a Catholic! For fur.ther information On this subject write for a .free pamplet to P. O.

Hard To Plow An old farmer who had neveri been to a town of any size before, i decided to accompany his son to I a small city and see what the place looked like. An old model T Ford served as the medium of transportation. Climbing out on one of the main streets, the old man appeared fas cinated by the pavement. He scraped his feet on the hard sur face and bent over and felt it with his fingers. Amazement turned to scorn and the old man turned to his son and drawled: "I don't blame 'em for building a town here. This ground's too durn hard to plow!" Looking Ahead One cold, raw morning in Jan uary, a snail started to climb a cherry tree. As he Inched his way upward, a wisc-guy beetle stuck his head out of a nearby crack and called, "Hey, buddy, you're wasting your time! There ain't any cherries up there." The snail didn't even pause as he replied, "There will be when I get there." Read The Want Adsi AMUZU THEATRE SOUTHPORT, N. C. ADMISSION?9c and 25c 2 Shows Nightly, 1st at 7 P. M.
