Republican Candidate For
, Governor Heard By
$y Large Crowd Last
Tuesday
Upwards of 500 people, men
and women, gathered in the
Court-house Tuesday to hear
Hon. John J. Parker, Republican
candidate for Governor, discuss
the political issues of State and
Nation. Music was furnished
by the very excellent-Beaufort
School Band. Unfortunately the
occasion was somewhat marred
by a steady down pour ot ram
, which no doubt kept away a
'i-fcreat manv who otherwise would
have been Dresent.
Mr. Parker was in fine form
hardly showing any effects (from
the strain ot the sternuous cam
paign he has been conducting in
the btate, and very early won py
his pleasing personality the large
crowd, that frequently punctua
ted his remarks with hand clap
pines and enthusiastic applause
The ladies also entered into the
spirit of the occasion and their
attention and enthusiasm was
no less marked, and spontaneous
than was that of their male
friends and relatives.
Mr. Parker early entered upon
a discussion of the National is
sues denonncing the socialistic
tendancies of the Democratic
party in the Nation. Denounced
Government ownership of rail
roads and other public service
corporations, and then directed
his attention to the Leaeue of
Nations denouncing in no uncer
tain terms the form and sub
stance of it as presented to the
Senate by the President as an es
sential surrender ot American
Sovereignty to the pedagogical
ideals ot Internationalism. The
questions of Immigration, of the
Monroe Doctrine, of the consent
of Congress before launching the
Nation upon the tide ot war or
of guaranteeing the territorial
integrity of other nations were
all sovereign rights which the
the people were unwilling to sur
render, but which they would
surrender if the Leaeue of Na
tions was ratified without reser
vations.
The speaker then took up
State mtters, and denounced tfe
Democratic party for its tailure
to meet with proper Legislative
measures the progressive neecs
of the people. Army statistics
had shown that 25 per cent ol
the white men of North Carolina
could not read or '"write; the
road needs of the "State had not
been adiquately been supplied,
and a system of farm credits
was essential and necessary to
stem the tide from the farm to
the city. A State system of
schools, of roads and of farm
credits wuuld hefp solve the
problem of farm destruction by
giving advantages kto tne rural
districts which they did not now
have. The Revaluation Act also
met with the disapproval of .the
speaker. It was wrong in pnn
ciple and any ihing wrong m
principal wonldbe mischievous
in practice. The-income and not
land should be the bases of tax
atlon. The Revalutioi Act only
aggravated and emphasized the
evils of the old a.d worn out
system of taxation in North Caro
lirui putting the burden of tax
stion uoon the shoulders of the
farm owner an the tenant.
The speaker closed his address
with an appeal to break away
from the slavery of party ties
and vote for the party that of
fered measures promising the
create it benef its.to the people,
After the sneaking manv
came toward to hake hands
with Mr. larker, among them
manv Democrats, who say they
are eoinc to vote for him this
year. Latter, accompanied by
this Rand.
Mr. Parker left for Morehead
where h; spoke toa bfi croAd
Tuesday night.
IROUGHT BACK SAD MEMORY
tttU Wonder That Comedian Could
Not Look on Buna With Ana;
Degree ofAffeotion.
"I never eat buns," the comedian
jald sadly, "they remind me of a nor
Ible experience I had once."
The listener drew near, thrilled by
Jhe tenseness of ' his tones. ,
"I was on a ship in midocean," went
n tiie comedian dramatically, "Her
cargo was self-raising flour and cur
rantsand a touring theatrical party.
Suddenly, In the dead of night, wo ran
mto an Iceberg.
"There were no boats, no things look
ed very desperate for us. The huge
waves dashed oVer the sides and down
the hatchways.
fThen we heard a curious noise. The
water had got to the self-raising flour
and presently . It began to ooxe up In
large blobs, like buns, with the cur
rants mixed up In It.
"As the great lumps of dough floated
on the water the beat of the sun baked
them hard. I got on top of one of the
biggest and floated away from the
sinking ship.
But, alas I the ocean thereabouts
was full of sharks and they seemed to
like my ban. Anyway, they nibbled
and nibbled at It, and dally It grew
less, until I had hardly room to hang
on. I got washed asnore Just when
there were only two bites of bun left
for them.
Ever since then," be ended, with a
slch. "I haven't bwn able to look at
a bun without shivering."

Success Through Optimism.
At one time while building the Psna-
a canal there were eight thousand
men engaged In the Culebra cut alone.
Every night as much soil slid Into the
cut as could be taken out during the
day. But there was not a sign of dis
couragement the men enjoyed the

through the cut one morning Just after
an extensive slide. The foreman had

B- REPORT
Physician Fined BecauseJ
He Neglected To i
Make . Report v-
Raleigh, July 17-The highest
fine yet imposed in a locaLcourt
or a violation of the state vital
statistics law was imposed during.
the week on Dr. 7B. W. Tugman
of Warrensvillei Ashe county,
who was assessed , $50 and the
costs in two cases for failing to
report births where he was the
attending physician.
The case of Dr.' , Tugman was
aggravated by the fact that, last
bummer he was convicted and
given a nominal fine for a simi-
ar offense, and in the present in
stance prosecution was instigate
ed only after repeated efforts had
been made to get him to comply
with the law. - i
"It is the inherent right of
every baby born in North. . Caro-
ina to have its birth promptly
and properly registered,' declar
ed Dr. FfM. Register, state dep
uty registrar of - vital statistics,
in commenting on the prosecu
tions being instituted bf his di
vision of the state board of health.
n this case the state board of
health has extended its activities
to tne most nortn-western coun
ty of the state. Its arm is long
.a .
Enough to teach across the raoun
tains and say to the doctors and
midwives who are derelict in
their duty, you must treat every
baby right, and registerjits birth
auure to comply with the pro
visions of the law .will not be tol
erated, and prosecutions will be
instituted ill all cases of viola
lations. regardless ot who may
be affected." . ,

Asso
ciations
"There is no question but that
buildine and loan associations
are doing a great business in the
State and adding materially to
its industrial progress seen on
every hand," said Insurance i om
missioner Young, pointing to a
pile of building and loan reports.
One of these reports of business
done in 1911 shows the associa
tion made $14.002.7 net profits.
besides paying off twq series
that matured, amounting to
$47,767.98.
The records of this one asso
ciation show that it built :32
dwelling bennies making stock
loans o members; that it loaned
out on mortgages $330,000, and
on stocks $15,000. This associa
tion has never lost a cent.
