CAYS SMITH CAN’T CARRY THE SOUTH New Yorker Too Wet to Suit Dem ocrats of This Section, Declares Editor. New York. July 25.—"50 far as I can see. Governor Smith, is making no gains in the South.” writes George Fort Milton, prominent southern editor, in The Outlook ot July 27th. Mr- Milton, a leading Democrat and the editor of the Chattanooga ‘‘News be ieves that "developments of the last few months are not of a type to encourage the thought either that Governor Smith will have sub stantial Southern support iu the next Democratic National Conven tion, or that, if he were to be the party nominee, he would keep th_> Solid South solid in the fall. “Opposition to Governor Smith, in so far as it is- grounded on his membership in the Roman Catholic Church, it is on the wane, and we can all rejoice in the fact,” he con tinues. "The 1 amount of Southern religions prejudice has been grossly exaggerated; the Klan is said to be far stronger in the North than in the South. “The main Southern dislike of Smith's nomination proceeds from his dripping wet views, his Tam many origin, background and en vironment. and his general Manhat tan point of view, and I see no diminution at all of objections on these grounds. In fact, it is stronger than a few months ago. If Smith is to secure Southern delegates, it will only be through careful manipula tion of the selection of favdrite son delegations, the personnel of which might be contrived to be of men ostensibly for the favorite son, but really elected so as to be able at the earliest opportunity- ttK, desert the lightning rod for the foaming Rtein. The lure of a vice-presidential nomi nation might possibly be successful ly dangled before one or two South ern ‘statesmen’ greedy for mpty honors. But I gravely doubt if Smith could win more than a score of delegates, if he were to make an out-in-open fight form them in the Congressional districts of the South.” Mr. Milton states in hLs Outlook article that his impression is "tuat, the Smith drive was premature, and ineffective, and that the deflation of the Tammany campaign has al ready preceptibly commenced. “If jfSmith should by chance be come nominee* he vrouui have a tough job ip the South,” continues Editorl Milton. “If he cgme out of a presidential election without losing over 60 Southern electorial votes, he would be lucky. In the border States be would have practically no chance at all.” INQUEST INTO LANE'S DEATH THIS AFTERNOON Coroner Hopes to Clear JD T p Mystery of Death of Oscar W. Lane, New Bern Banker.

Standing among the floral tributes was a huge wreath of fleur de lys, and a pillow' of white roses placed by Queen Marie after the interment yes terday. 'She had picked the fleur de lys herself; the, pillow w’as placed in behalf of former crown prince Carol, the King's errant son who renounced his rights to the throne and now is i Jiving virtually in exile in France. Borne by Generals the coffin was placed on ii gun carriage for the hour’s march to the monastery in the -hills where the last rites were held. A thousand priests marched behind the coffin. At the same hour services here held in all churches throughout Rumania, while everywhere salutes were fired and bells tolled. Queen Marie appeared on the verge of a collapse several times during the ceremonies at the monastery. She swooned earlier in the day after k'ss ing her huisband before the coffin was sealed, the conclusion of a service in the royal chapel adjoining totroceni palace. As the royal party was leav ing the church, 6-year-old King Mich ael, ruler by reason of his father’s re nunciation asked : “Are they go : ng to leave grandpa here alone? Can’t I stay with him?” Queen Marie explained : “The poor little boy does not know w’hat it is all about. He knows only that he has lost a dearest relative.

Greensboro, July 23.— <~An average of two and one-half gasoline pumps dot every mile of Route 10 which stretches from Moreliead City to the Georgia line, 10 miles west of Mur hy, C. W. Roberts, vice president of the Carolina Motor Club announced today in eommenring on data gather ed during the “dawn to dusk” tour last week of R. T. Doughton, of Old Fort, and a representative of the mo-, tor Club. “There w T ere 1,469 pumps clocked along the route which measured 587.- 4 miles,” Mr. Roberts said. “But for the sparsely settled country in the far east and the mountain fastnesses between Asheville and Murphy, the average would have been much high er. “The figures reveal that there is still considerable ‘cut throat’ compe tition among the various gasoline distributors and that the old practice 1 of placing a pump in the immediate vicinity of a competitor is being car ried* out. It is also plan that even with the tremendous amount of trav el in North Carolina today there is not enough gasoline business to make this number of pumps pay. This leads to illegitimate practices and in many instances the pumps serve as mere bliiids for transactions that would stir the sensibilities of law abiding citi zens. “Evidence of the tremendous ‘turn over’ eculiar to gasoline filling sta tions stands out all along Route 10, or, for that matter, any other high way, in the form of abandoned sta tions. Nothing presents such a fore lorn appearance as a deserted filling station, with gaping holes marking the spot where gayly painted gasoline pumps and tanks once stood. On the 1 other hand, the wayside marts_ may be noticed springing up with mush room-like rap'dity. Oftimes a clus- ! ter of filling stations, each with sev eral pumps, were noticed where a sin- 1 gle pump could easily adequately serve the motoring public. “There is a place for the legitimate 1 gasoline service station, run on strict- ’ ly business lines but the public should protect itself and hel drive out 1 the illegitimate dives by patronizing whenever possible- reputable concerns 1 where square dealing and service are apparent and advertised to the world.” ! i SEEKS MONEY OF DUKE ENDOWMENT 1 $185,000 in Commission Sought in Suit by New York Firm. i New York, July 25.—A suit for 1 $185,000 against the trustees of the i Duke Endowment, left by James B. i Duke, of Durham, N.

Geor*l?i Passes Law to Make Fathers Children of Unmarried Mothers Liable for Their Support. x Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. -- v ,Raleigh, July 25.—1 f North Caro lina does not look to its laurels, other Southern states will soon outstrip it in new welfare legislation, according to Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, commis sioner of Public Welfare, who called attention to the faet that -the house of the Georgia legislature, now in ses sion, Friday passed a law makiug the fathers of children born to unmarried piothers fully as liable* for - their sup port as if they were married. The bill passed by a unanimous vote. “Georgia has undoubtedly taken a step in the right direction in the pro tection of unwed mothers, and of chil dren born out of wedlock,” Mrs. Johnson, “and if the law is ratified will be far ahead of North Carolina in legislation along this particular line. At present in this state, all that an unwed mother can possible get, after proving the paternity of her* child is S2O0 —the maximum fine in a magistrate’s court. And this amount barely pays the hospital expenses for the mother, leaving nothing for the support of the child. The result is that the expense incident to the up bringing of the child must be borne either by the taxpayers or public charity, while the father goes on his way, bearing non«r~of the responsi bility.” Nation-wide attention was focused upon the question of the responsibility of the fathers of children born out of wedlock some years ago when the state of North Dakota first passed the law making the father liable not only for the '*• uoort of children born out of wedlock, but giving to such children iuu r.gnt to the father's name, with the right to share equally in the father's estate, at his death, with any other children, born either in or out of wedlock. Now, after a number of years, the law has worked so well that a number of other northwestern states have adopted it, including Min nesota. However, Georgia seems to be the first southern state to be ser iously considering its adoption. “Until more adequate provision is made in this state to impose a greater danger and a greater responsibility upon the men—more than the pos sibility of maximum fine of S2O0 —it will not be possible to materially cur tail the number of unmarried mothers who must be taken care pf each year,” said Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, “and thus decrease the added expense which the state must bear a£ a result of these cases. “But if a similar laws was enacted in this state, and men knew that their name would be given by the law to children born of unmarried mothers, and that they would be obligated to support them and care for them, and that they could share legally in their estates, it would have a noticeable deterrent effect upon the men of the type who seek to prey upon young girls,” Mrs. Johnson maintains. “I am indeed glad to know that Georgia had already taken it first. And I hope it will not be long before this state passes a similar law.” There is a law on the North Caro lina statute books which says that the court may order the father of a child born out of wedlock to support it until its attains is majority, but be cause of the fact that all bastardy cases are tried first in magistrate's court, where the S2OO fine is the maxi-' mum, there is no way of invokig the other la ,v, which is also generally con sidered as being unconstitutional.

Raleigh, 25.—Raleigh’s July mortality rate, materially increased by i the death of five or six people from alcoholic poisoning, - may find expres sion in proposed legislation at the next session of the General- Assembly, it has been suggested here. - • ' ’ The last Legislature, it will be re called, tightened the screws on drunk en automobile drivers. Now conies the intimation that the prohibition law; of the State should be amended so as to punish the bootlegger for manslaughter when it is proven that liquor lie made or sold caused the death of any person. It has been pointed out iu this connection that when a man negli gently or wilfully kills another with an automobile he can, uqder certain conditions, be tried for the death of the victim and be criminally dealt with. By the same process of reason- I ing, those who are alarmed over the situation contend, the man who puts out poison for consumption should be held to strict accountability when his., “liquor” claims a victim and the kill- « ing charges should take precedence over the charge of making or selling intoxicating beverages. Os course, this would not apply in some of the recent eases here w r hei*e the victims consumed material not meant for human food or drink under any circumstances. Where one be conftea so enslaved to the effects of stimulants that he will take some thing into his stomach that is not intended to go there, it is his own hard luck, it was pointed out. On the other hand, the argument has been advanced that the only way to pre vent <>r curb the distribution of prison in illicit liquor, is to make it even harder for the distributers than when they make or sell liquor, which, though intoxicating and degrading, is not a deadly poison.

THE COTTON .MARKET Opened Easy Today at a Decline of 10 to 12 Points Under Liquidation and Selling. ; New York, July 25.— UP) —The cot ton market opened easy today at a de cline of 10 to 12 points under liquida tion and local se liug inspired by bet ter weather prospects arid relatively easy Liverpool cables.

C. BASKERVILL Raleigh, July 25. —A statewide pro gram of agricultural development, in which the county will be the unit, a© is now the case in education, health work and other activities, with a specially organized agricultural edu cation plan that will lay chief empha sis on the economic and business side of farming, is expected to be launched here tomorrow before the opening ses sion of the North Carolina Farmers' and Farm Women'© convention, it was learned today. The plan, which is destined to as sume large legislative importance at the next session of the general as sembly in will be* presented to the convention by Dr. E. C. Brook©, president of State College, and one of the pioneers in the various pro gre«sive agricultural movements iu the state, and who has con©istently advocated those things which help the farmer to help himself. Though Dr. Brooks would not re veal all the details of the statewide, county wide edueationa'.-a’grieultural program which he will submit to the farmers’ convention tomorrow, he; in dicated that he considered the plan he will suggest a© the culmination of the various movements which huv« al ready been started by the State Col lege -of Agriculture, by the extension division and by the State department of agriculture, under the direction of A. Graham, commissioner, who has con©isteOtly cooperated with Dr. Brooks and State College in all their undertakings. “Not only will this plan provide the TculriaTriation of all these other, under takings. such as better production, better farm management, better mar keting and more consideration for the etpdpment of the farm home, but without it these things cannot be fully realized.'’ Dr. Brooks said. "So it is that We have come to the eonc.u©ion that ■•if the farmer is going to learn ail these things, tbe state, through tbe county, must give the farmer and the farmer's children more adequate instruction in things pertaining to ag riculture, especially the economic aud business side of agriculture. -Although the majority of the chil dren in the rural schools of the state come from tbe farm, too little atten tion is being paid to agriculture, aud thing© which have a bearing or prac tical application on agriculture, Dr. Brooks thinks, with the result that in a number of counties, actual sur veys show that more is being expended to teach shorthand, typewriting and bokkeeping than on teaching agricul ture. So it is expected that tbe creation of a county board of agricul ture, similar to the county board of education, will be, advocated, this board to work with the county board of education in working out a county wide plan for agricultural education, both in the schools, and with special vocational night classes for adults. While in some cases slight addi tional expense may be imposed upon the counties, it is believed that eventu ally the enlarged program can be car ried on with no additional cost, though many counties, already seeing the necessity for better organized ag ricultural instruction, are voluntarily putting up the additional funds needed to expand the program. Boiled down, the whole idea seems to be to make it possible for the farmer to get facts and to understand thoroughly his various problems, so that the gums and the chance and the gamble may be removed from farming, and thus make it possible for the farmer to sarry on his work with the same /exactitude and the same knowledge of his profession as has the doctor, the lawyer or the en gineer. This program, in complete detail, will be presented to the farmers’ con vention by Dr. Brooks when it con vene© for its. opening session tomor row morning at 11 o’clock, and is ex pected to provide the dominant note for discussion throughout the entire convention.
