The rejuvenation became effective last week-end and the highs had a brilliant spurt that raised the hopes of j both team and fans to Woolworth heights. They cut loose with a slash ing triumph over Winecoff, the game being marked by the Towelers obtain ing 22 runs to the opponents four. The standard in hitting the homelings bad been trying to maintain all the •season was attained with startling re sults. Eighteen were lined out, in cluding five by one “Mutt” Widen house and a home run smash by the sorrell-top Fowler kid. You say, What luhs Winecoff in the way of a base j ball nine? We say enough to make ! a good showing against formidable out fits hereabout. The Wine and Coffee gang hold Con cord to a score that reads something like 8 to A. maybe higtfbr, perhaps lower. And Concord has nicked vic tories from Salisbury, Albemarle and Badin while Spencer eked out a 3 to 2 decision after twelve innings had been reeled off on railroad soil. Plen ty of gusto there, say we, quite enough to warrant recognition in this section of Rowan, Stanly and Cabarrus. In the shake-up of the local nine, Roy Dellinger was delegated to first base. Ballard to the second bag and L. Fowler returned to third with R. Fowler back in his old position at short. Williams was recruited into service behind the mask while ‘‘Coun try" Rollins was recalled for mound work. When R. Fowler moves over to the firing pit L. Fowler will re place him at short and Rollins will | occupy the torrid station.

( UK.E A SftAWCT —• A^OUT .mMwthpK 5S New York—At least one New York restaurreateur likes to entertain an occasional “cranky” guest. He is the manager of the Waldorf dining room, and claims that “fussy diners” help to maintain a standard that has shown a tendency to de teriorate since prohibition. Dinner checks, he says, are growing in number but dwindling in size un der the dry regime. High prices may have something to do with the size, but he thinks it is the absence of wine to aid digestion. At any rate, he claims that dry era diners are less critical than others, . and that cranky guests are welcomed as a check against carelessness in . cooking. The pendulum of a clock in a Sixth Avenue clock store window is a china doll on a swing. The canny but uneducated shop girl i- who persists in calling two well known news characters “Count Salem” and “Copntess Cathartic” is no longer typical, if she ever was. Many department store salesgirls to day are college graduates, and serve as advisers to customers. They are given preference in advancement, with ■ frequent outbursts of jealousy the re sult. Advancement sometimes con sists, however, in transfer to a de partment where sales are bigger, few er, and consequently less tiring. A floorwalker in one department store is a recent dental graduate, try ing to earn money to open his own office. Among the newest mqdes oil' Fifth Avenue is a custom-made “slicker” for Pomeranian dogs.

April 18. —The news I coming from Washington that with ! drawal has been made of an appli . cation filed with the Interstate Com- j merer Commission by Mark W. I’ot ; tor, of New York, and W. S. O'B . Robison, of Charlotte, asking for authority to finish construction of j the Piedmont and Northern inter urban line between Spartanburg. S. iC.; and Winston-Salem, N. C., is ot move than passing interest to Ran : dolph County people. 1 The withdrawal of the petition is! : viewed by Asheboro citizens as indi cating that the officials of the road are not ready to bind themselves to ! any paiticular route, and the hope . is created that the route eventually I taken may be onh through Randolph ( county, thereby furnishing rail fa , cilities to a section of this county long in need of a railroad and link ’ ing the prosperous middle eross-sec . tions of the Piedmont with the east and the west. ' Since the agitation of the pro posed extension of the Piedmont and [ Northern lines, leading Asheboro citizens have been busy endeavoring ' to get the extension eventually to Durham routed by Asheboro.

Smith, of New York, in a letter to the Atlantic Monthly, today declar ed that he recognized no power in the Roman Catholic Church to interfere with the operations of the Constitu tion of the United States or the en forcement of the laws of the land. The Governor, a Roman Catholic, j and potential candidate for the presi dency, wrote the letter to the maga- I zine in reply to an open letter, pub- j lished in the Monthly last mouth by Charles C. Marshall, New York law yer and Episcopalian, who asked him a number of questions seeking to define his views on the relation of the Catholic Church to the Stata, Mr. Marshall has been described as an authority on canon law. The Governor’s interpretation of j Mr, Marshall’s questions is described j in his letters, as follows: your letter as a whole and ! reducing it to commonplace English, j you imply that there is conflict be- I tween religious loyalty to the Catholic I faith and* patriotic loyalty to the Un-! ited States.” The Governor declared that “every thing that has happened to me during my long public career leads me to know that no such thing as that is true.” Governor Smith summed up his creed as “an American Catholic” as follows: “I believe in the worship of God according to the faith and practice of the Roman Catholic Church. I recognize no power in the institution iof my church 4o interfere with the | operations of the Constitution of the | United States or the enforcement of the law of the land. “I belive in absolute freedom of j conscience for all men and in equal ity of all churches, all sects, and all beliefs before the law as a matter of right and not as a matter of favor. “I believe in the absolute separa tion of church and state and in the strict enforcement of the provisions of the Constitution that Congress shall make no law respecting an establish ment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. "I believe that ik> tribunal of any j church has any power to make any decree of any force iu the law of the land, other than to establish the status of its own communicants within its own church. T believe in the support of the public school as one of the corner stones of American liberty. I believe in the right of every parent to choose whether his child shall be educated in the public school or in a religious school supported by those of his own f a>;V ‘ i belive in the principle of non interference by this country in the I infernal affairs of other nations and [that we should stand steadfastly against any such interference by vOhmnsoever it may be urged, and I | beilevo in the common brotherhood of ; man under the common Fatherhood i of God. I “In this spirit I join with fellow Americans of all creeds in a fervent prayer that never again in this land will any public servant be challenged because of the faith in which he has tried to walk humbly with his God.” After giving his interpretation of Mr. Marshall's letter and stating that there was no conflict between religious loyalty and patriotic loyalty, the Gov ernor said: "I have taken the oath of office in this State nineteen times. Each time I swore to defend and maintain the Constitution of the United States. I have never known any conflict be tween my official duties and my re ligious belief. No such conflict could exist. Certainly, the people of this State recognize no such conflict. They have testified to my devotion to public | duty by electing me to the highest office within their gift four times, x x x i During the years I have discharged these trusts I have been a communi cant of the Roman Catholic church. If there were conflict, I, of all men, | could not have escaped it, becuuse 1 K-WArtT p\ '■' | I B-'SrtT m ■i * S/ ; tBjSnT v SbS) • v * m\ kf\ ?r ■ "■\aT (l. • yo u *feo ys> f Vw&i Please, keep J ' fn) J±:J *3tu_l so v cam ACCEPT A REAL W ’ LUMCHEON DATE \\ ~ FOR TO DoFy ’ ■ r^So/iftfe?oov A ■/'"/T'wil must' hwe. , y U 1 1 /— s j 6 j Jfep : • • - " " ' 4^13 have not been a silent man, but a battler for social and political reform. These battles would in their very nature disclose this conflict if there were any. "I regard piiblic education as one of the foremost functions of govern ment and I have supported to the j last degree the State Department of Education in every effort to promote . lour public school system, xxx My j aim—and I may say I have succeeded in achieving it —has been legislation for child welfare, the* protection of working men, women, and children, and modernization of the state's in stitutions for the care of the helpless or unfortunate wards, the preserva tion of freedom of speech and opinion | against the attack of wartime hysteria j and the complete reorganization of the i structure of the government of the I state. “I did not struggle for these things j for any single element, but in the interests of all of the eleven million I people who make up the State. In j all this work I had the support of | churches of all denominations. I probably know as many other eccles iastics of my church as any other layman. During my long and active career I have never received from any of them anything except encour agement in the full and complete dis charge of my duty to the State. More- • over, I am unable to understand how anything .that I was taught to belive as a Catholic could possibly v be in conflict with what is good citizenship. The essence of my faith is buit upon the commandments of God. There can be no conflict 'between them.” “I come now,", -crovernor Smith said, "to the speculation with which theorists have played for generations as to the respective functions of the Church and State. You claim that the Roman Catholic Church holds that, if conflict arises, the Church must prevail over the State. You write as though there were some Catholic authority or tribunal to decide with i respect to such conflict. Os course, there is no suph thing, xxx Your church, just as mine, js voicing the injunction of our common Savior to render ‘unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's' "What is this conflict about which you talk? It may exist ’.n some lauds which do not guarantee religious free dom. But in the wildest dreams of your imagination you cannot conjure up a possible conflict between relig ious principle and political duty in the United States, except on the un thinkable hypothesis N that some law I were to be passed which violated the J common morality of all God-fearing linen, and if you can conjure up such I a conflict, how Would a Protestant resolve it? Obviously by the dictates of his conscience. That is exactly what a Ggtholie would do. "There is no ecclesiastical tribunal which would have the slightest claim upon the obedience of .Catholic com municants in the resolution of such a conflict.” The Governor quoted Cardinal Gibbons. Archbishop Ireland and others on this point as to the attitude of the Church. ■ John Parkc-r is Electrocuted at Chair Factory. Maiden, April 17.—.

Albemarle, April I(>.—Excitemept prevailed here last night among po lice officers when Howard Cranford. 14-yea r-o'.d youth, broke out of the Stanly county jail in a very spec tacular way and made his escape for a little while. Jailer Joe Lilly got busy, however, and had the lad back and locked in a cell within .‘lO to 40 minutes after his escape. Cranford is being held here on a charge of robbing the United States jnails in the state of Kentucky and has an uncle at Badin- Mr. Lilly reasoned that the boy would go to Badin, so police officers of that town were immediately notified. The ! Badin officers got busy and lound the culprit making toward that town on foot about half way between Albemarle and . Badin. He was brought back to the jail and lodged in a cell. . / Another youth who was recently lodged in the jail on a charge of theft, is .said to have smuggled the i tools to Cranford with which he es-1 1 The Eclispe Lawn Mower ' Guaranteed ; 1-0 Years • , j t The only self-starpening mower.
