MEMBER NORTH CAROLINA PRESS ASSOCIATION
THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1932
A copy of the "Carolinas Magazine" b fcexr
publication devoted to the Interests of the tec
Carolinas has reached this office. The mag
azine is attractive in appearance and matter
and if it maintains this standard ought to be
both helpful and successful.
We do not know whether one John Hughes
Curtis of Norfolk, Va., knew any thing about
the kidnapping of the Lindbergh child or not
but he is certainly a big enough scoundrel to
have done so. The lies he told Lindbergh
and the tricks he played upon him, probably
for the purpose of getting money stamps him
as a villian of the basest sort. It is to be hop
ed that he will get all that ia comingtohim
when he is tried and he probably will.
FARM POSSIBILITIES GOOD
IN CARTERET COUNTY
The files of this newspaper will show that
for a good many years past it has been a firm
believer in the possibilities of agriculture in
our county. The News has not only believed
in but has advocated in every way it could a
development along this line. It has been a
pleasure to do this and to note the great im
provement that has taken place in farming in
general and particularly in track growing. A
great change for the better has occurred in
the past ten years and we believe that greater
things yet are in store. There is plenty of
good land not yet under cultivation in Carter
et county. Eventually most of this land will
be tilled and wil afford a good livelihood for
many people and contribute to the -general
prosperity. At this time low prices for farm
products is the chief obstacle and this condi
tion is probably due to pass away before a
great while longer.
POLITICIANS ARE GETTING NERVOU3
When Al Smith started hip fight on prohibi
tion in 1928 he hit the cause a hard blow. This
is apparent right here in North Carolina just
as well as it is in many other states. Leaders
of the Democratic party in North Carolina, as
well as in most of the southern states, were
staunch prohibitionists for many years but
they began to weaken in 1928. With the ex
ception of Senator Simmons, Frank McNinch
and one o llvo others, they one and all sup
ported Al Fmith for President knowing per
fectly that ir he were elected that he would
undertake to abolish the Volstead act and the
eighteenth amendment. A "wet" candidate
for President will be nominated this year and
they are all going to support him. More than
that a good many of them are going to sup
port Bob Reynolds for the Senate.
Most politicians like to get on the popular
side of all public questions. When prohibition
was popular they talked and voted for prohi
bition no matter what else they did. Right
now prohibition seems to be losing favor. The
politicians are anxiously waiting now to see
what is goin gto h;.ppen. If prohibition is go
ing to be abolished most of the political boys
will hop on the other side. The -Virginia
Democratic convention laat week adopted a
resolution declaring for a referendum on pro
hibition. In Florida a wet candidate defeat
ed Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen for the nomination
for Congress. Out in California W. G. Mc
Adoo, former member of President Wilson's
cabinet and his son-inJaw has come out for a
referendum, Anti .prohibition .sentiment ip
growing apparently and the dry politicians are
getting nervous.
MORRISON-REYNOLDS CONTEST
WILL BE A BATTLE ROYAL
The contest between Senator Morrison and
Robert R. Reynolds for the Democratic nomi
nation for the U. S. Senate promises to be one
of the hardest fought .political .battles .ever
waged in North Carolina. It is likely that con
siderable money will be expended but even
without that important consideration the bat
tle would be a hot one any how. There are
certain issues involved in the contest that are
very interesting to the voters.
Each of the two candidates has certain ad
vantages and certain disadvantages. It is a
case of credits and debits, with the voters sit
ting in judgment. Reynolds is considerably
younger than Morrison, which may be an ad
vantage or the contrary just as you look at it.
Morrison has had more experience in politics
and government. He .was .Governor .four
j years and some thought he filled .the .office
very well and others thought he didn't. Mr.
Morrison seems to have backing of many of
; the leaders of his party and their influence will
count for a great deal. He is regarded as a
j prohibitionist, although he said recently that
I he would do whatever hisparty wishes to do
about thhat matter, a.nd will have the sup
I port of most of the dry element in the Demo
! cratic party. And last but not leaiit Morri-
son is a very rich man, or rather Mrs. Morri-
son is a very rich woman.
The other aspirant for .Senatorial .honors,
Mr. Reynolds, is about twenty years younger
than his opponent. He .has .the .physical
strength and the enthusiasm which an older
man often does not have. He is a good cam
paigner and evidently no fool at politics. His
i victory over Morrison was the biggest surprise
! of the recent primary. In the next primary
j he will have the support of the anti-prhibi-
tion faction of the Democratic party, which is
; now quite large. The younger voters seem
' to favor him over Morrison. Many .of .the
j Simmons faction are glad to get a chance to
i vote against Morrison because of -the .bitter
! things lie said in 1928 about Senator Simmons,
i On the other hand some of the anti-Simmons
faction will vote against him too because he fav
I ored the appointment of McNinch to a fine
j Federal job. Reynolds has had a lot to say
and will say a lot more about Morrison's orwn
, ership of tobacco company and power com
pany stock. The low prices of tobacco, blam
ed by some folks on the tobacco companies,
will hurt Morrison and help Reynolds. And
then Bowie one of the other two candidates
for the Senate in the late primary, will try to
throw his strength to Reynolds. The fact that
Reynolds led in the first primary will be an
advantage also.
To any one who takes an unbiased view of
the situation it is very evident that nobody is
going to have any walkover in this Senatorial
contest. Both candidates have good backing
and each one is a good fighter. Of course the
friends of each will make a lot of big claims
but the truth seems to be that the results of
(he primary at this time is very much in doubt.

Editor of The News:
I have some things to mention this
week, first I want to say I read Mr.
Yeoman' letter of June the second.
He says we are a nation that "has I
forgotten God" and I feel like he '
is right. He says we ought to as a
people nommate our officers to run ,
this government ont of the best God '
fearing men that we have. Men who .
will pnt God ahead of everything if :
we don't our government is going to :
keep right down the road to ruin !
worse than it is. It seems that the ;
county officers are pat to it to know j
what to do.
I see where they are doing away,
with two of our county agents. I.
want to say as for as ili-s Ann Ma-
son is concerned she is a very nice '
lady but I want to say that they done j
wrong when they started to having a !
demonstration agent at first.. The '
county has been gttting worse ever j
since. But I feel like they have made ,
a big mistake by doing away with Mr. i
Overstrtet. I also see wh.-re some of
the people of Newport want the com-
micsioners to retain Mr. Long to!
teach agriculture in Newport. Mr.
Long is a very nice man but I feel
(like that Overstrett is worth more to
the county than both of the others
;are. Now if they will put Mr. Long
j principal of Newport School we will
have a better school. That is What I
think about it but I hear lots of the
tax payers say we don't need any of
them so they will have to suit them
selves not me.
Now I want to say a little about
the primary election. W. H. Prdigen

THE VOTERS' RESPONSIBILITY
When people were making money and all
business concerns were more or less successful
extravagant expenditures by the various gov
erning bodies were not much noticed. The
era of hard times which the American nation,
as well as the rest of the world, has been ex
periencing for several years- has changed all
that. The taxpaying voters are manifesting
great interest in the cast o-f government of all
sorts from the .national .government -down
through the states, counties, cities and towns.
If the people who pay the taxes had shown
as much interest during the past ten or twelve
years m puDiic matters as they have for the
last two or three years things would not have
come to the pass that they have reached. Too
many citizens have asaumeij -$8$ -fflrjflg Is
part in politics is a waste of time. Some would
say that politics "is a dirty aort of business and
I do not care to have any thing to do with it."
And so because they were too busy or too good
to take a hand, they turned the matter of gov
ernment over quite frequently to incompetent
persona and sometimes to dishonest ones.
1 ia an encouraging sign that the taxpayers
seems to be waking up- and looking about to
eee what can be done. They seem to be measur-

NORTH CAROLINA'S LITTLE REVOLUTION

I against Mr. Chadwick the way it

Now my readers I hoard a very

said it. Now if the commissioners

During the week North Carolina has been treated to
a surprise, that the folks did not expect in the lsast.
The Great Cameron Morrison, self-made governor,
millionaire by marriage, Senator by appoirtrnent and
proverbial DRY, won second place in a fir. --cornered
race for fenate, trailing "Ou- Bob" lieyno'. 's, ardent
WET who pabiicly announced that h's campaign fond
was augmented by Society A jainst Prohi tion con
tributions, by about 12,000 vcier, with app.oximately
200,000 good Democratic votes being cast t -ainst the
member of Can Cameron.
Is 'North Carolina becoming waked up to the fact
thatthe Prohibition law is a failure: that it has encour
aged graft,, enriched thousands of hoodlums and
crooked politicians, that the enforcement of the law jhave to feed our team and ffurnish
is a farce, and that the beneficial effects of the edu- Pur n implements and throw that
cational campaign for true temperance conducted for ia" ln
many years have been almost completely destroyed?
Or, were those 200,000 votes cast against Cameron
Morrison because of his advocacy of Frank McNinch
and Word H. Wood (both ardent supporters of Her
bert Hoover in 1928) because of his vifalth and close
association with big business, or because he is known
as a "machine man.?"
Just a little revolutionary attitude for the people of
the Good Old North State to take, but we welcome, the
day when the voters of North Carolina will walk to
the polls and vote according to their convictions, ,and
this campaign has shown that they can and will as
sert their rights if sufficiently prodded. McDowell
