C. BASKERVILLE a 1 Raleigh, Nov. 2.—Despite the many political rumblings and miniature presidential boomlets in various sec* tions, the Democratic campaign prop* er will not be commenced as such un til after the first formal meeting of the National Democratic Committee, called to meet in Washington by Clem Shaver, national chairman, on Jan uary 12, 1928. At this meeting the city in which the 1928 Democratic Convention will be held will be se lected, and preliminary plans made for the pre-convention campaign. And until this meeting is held, it is too early to talk of candidates, and especially of A1 Smith as “the candi date” of the Democratic party, ac cording to political observers here, many of who already see a decided de flation of Smith sentiment in North Carolina, and who believe that by January 12 the outlook in the state will be anything but favorable to Smith, and that the South generally will be glad to welcome the suggestion of a new name as the Democratic standard bearer. The early agitation in favor of Smith in North Carolina has really been a good thing for the Democratic party in the State, fhose unfriendly to the Smith cause agree, in that he has“had a chance to parade himself on the track in front of the grand stand before the race,” as one observer has expressed it. This preliminary prancing has served to show up cer tain defects that might not have ap peared so plainly later on, a number think. The principal thing that is stand ing in the way of the acceptance of Smith as the Democratic nominee is his attitude toward prohibition, rath er than tbe fact that he is a Catho lic, both those for and against Smith agree, though there is still some oppo sition to him on the ground of his re ligion. But it ie because of his wet ness that the leaders of the Demo cratic party in the South, and espe cially in North Carolina, are particul larly opposed to him. For the South and North Carolina have been*consis tently dry, as far as politics is con cerned, for years, and still are. But sentiment in favor of prohibi tion is by no means uniform over the WANT BIG CUT IN TAX ON CORPORATIONS House Ways and Means Committee Asked to Make Cut From 13.1-2 to 10 Per Cent. Washington, Nov. 2.— (A 3 ) —Reduc- tion of the tax on the incomes of corporations from 13 1-2 per cent to 10 per cent was advocated today by a number of representatives of national business organizations, in testimony before the House ways and means committee which earlier in the week received the administration recom mendation that the corporation levy should be cut to only 12 per cent. Other witnesses while not suggesting a special cut in this levy, urged that the corporation rate be pared to the lowest possible level, that the condi tion of the Treasury would warrant, arguing that a slash in this tax would be a material aid to business. During cross examination of prac tically each witness, Democrats on the committee endeavored to develop that in recommending the reduction in the corporation tax, it was believed that the Treasury had underestimated the prospective surplus. Representa tive Garner of Texas, ranking minority member, declared at one time that the Treasury in recent years had under estimated by approximately $1,000,- 000,000 the actual surpluses. MRS. GRAYSON HAS NOT SECURED NEW PILOT Lieut. Bernt Balchen Denies That He Has Accepted Yet Mrs. Grayson’s Offer. New York, Nov. 2. VP) —Lieuten- ant Bernt Balchen today denied as sertions by Mrs. Frances Wilson Grayson that he had accepted her offer to pilot her amphibian plane, The Dawn, across the Atlantic to Co penhagen this year. Balchen, who made the Atlantic air crossing with Commander Richard E. Byrd last June, announced, however, that he would aettmpt a second cross ing in the Grayson plane if he,could give it a preliminary test, and if he could be relieved temporarily from his duties as test pilot for Anthony H. G. Fokker, airplane designer and builder. Thea Rasche, German stunt flyer, has disclosed she had wired Mrs. Grayson proposing they attempt the sea hop as co-pilots. Mrs. Grayson said that she had not a tele gram from Fraulein Rasche, and that she would' not be considered. Clarence Chamberlin eliminated himself from any possible connection with Mrs. Grayson’s plans, saying he was not considering a second jaunt to Europe. DR. CHARLES GREAVES DIES AT HIS HOME Was Pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church and He Was Widely Known Throughout the State. Raleigh, Nov. 2.— UP) —Dr. Charles Tj. Greaves, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church of Raleigh for many years and widely known in North Car olina, dropped dead at his home here early 'this morning. Dr. Greaves, 33 years old, was a na tive North Carolinian, born at Nixon ton, Pasquotank county. He was or dained a Baptist minister in 1891, at the age of 19, and has since been pas tor of numerous churches in eastern North Carolina. Rayon Mill Group For State is Seen. Raleigh, Nov. 1. —Virtual assurance of the establishment of an $8,000,000 group of Rayon mills in North Caro lina was given here today following a conference of Albert M. Johnson, of Chicago, and June Harden, of Burling ton, with Governor McLean and other state officials. Mr. Johnson would establish an initial plant in Alamance county, near Burlington, inferring that the $8,000,- 000 program would be carried through following results from the initial group. Pinal Figures of Ship Wreck. Rio Janeiro, Brazil, Nov. 1. —A total of 814 persons perished in the Principessa Mafalda disaster off the coaet of Brazil, it was shown today in final figure* made public by the local office of the Navaigazione Generale Italiana, owners of the vessel. There were 945 survivor*. t entire state. It has been strongest, perhaps, in the eastern section, which is more nearly agricultural than the other sections—with perhaps the ex ception of Craven county, noted throughout- the state for its liquid “corn,” and which was recently held up to the public view by Judge Isaac M. Meekins for its almost flagrant vio lation of the prohibition law. Though there are undoubtedly other eastern counties in which fully as much liquid “Com” is made as in Craven. But politically, at least, eastern Carolina is decided dry. And this same sentiment in favor of prohibition continues on over into the central or piedmont section, but with less ardor, due perhaps to the fact that this portion of the state is more industrialized and commercializ ed than the . eastern part. But in western Carolina there has never been a very strong sentiment in favor of prohibition. For there, for years, many had been accustomed to making their own libations, and when the 18th Amendment came along, there was not a great amount of rejoicing. Hence it is not to be wondered at on the part of those who have long been familiar with the political atti tude of the people in various parts of the state toward prohibition that the A1 Smith candidacy at present seems to have attained the largest following so far in the western mountain coun ties. So it is that some of the west ern politicians have openly predicted that if Smith is nominated, he will carry counties that have never gone Democratic before, in the belief that many of the “wet” Republicans would vote for Smith. This sentiment in favor of Smith, much of it due to his wetness, dimin ishes rapidly on moving eastward from the mountain counties, observ ers maintain, with the exception of a few cities in the heart of the indus trial section of the state. And in the east, politically at least, the senti ment is still decidedly dry. Thus it is that many believe by the time Smith has been discussed pro and con for a few months longer, that the state will have had ample oppor tunity to size up his position, and act accordingly. D. A. R.’S STAGE LIVELY SESSION Delegates From Third district Have Afternoon Meeting Behind Closed Doors. Gastonia, Nov. I.—More than one hundred Daughters of the American Revolution from the third district, comprised of Gastonia, Shelby, Kings Mountain, t Concord, Monroe, Mooree ville, Statesville and Southern Pines participated in a somewhat stormy session here today which commenced at 10 o’clock and lasted till after 4 o’clock, broken only by a luncheon at 1 o’clock. The luncheon drifted into a lively session and the remainder of the meet ing was held behind closed doors. A feature of the morning session was an address by Miss Etta Y. Leighton of New York, civic secretary of the National Security League whose utterances in other parts of the state have drawn for her some rather severe editorial criticism. Her address here, however, was considered mild, her en tire theme being a plea to the women to inform themselves on public ques tions. At least one well known state or ganization, the head of which is re ported to be advocating the organiza tion of atheistic societies in the pub lic schools of the state, came in for some heated adverse criticism during the’closed session. The main objective of the state D. A. R.. at present, it was stated, is an intensive study of the constitution of the United States and a program of preparedness by which to combat in sidious attacks against the constitu tion which tend to destroy local self government. Belief in God, the upholding of the the country and the uphold ing of the constitution are three things which the D. A. R. of the state is pledging itself to unreservedly. Mrs. Edward C. Gregory, of Salisbury, state regent, led the discussions. LEXINGTON ANNOUNCES ITS FIRST SILK MILL Concern Will Have $200,000 Capital. —New Plant in New Jersey Is Bought. Lexington, Oct. 31. —Organization of a silk mill for Lexington by local capital is announced. The concern will have $200,000 capital, with SIOO,- 000 subscribed and paid in, the latter amount taken within a comparatively few hours. A comparatively new plant at Pater son, N. J., has been purchased for local interests and W. O. Burgin, president of the chamber of commerce and one of the stockholders of the new com pany, is in New York today to at tend to transfer of title and check up the inventory. J. C. Grimes, local manufacturer, and J. H Mattison, su perintendent of one of the local tex tile plants, went to Paterson a few days ago and examined the entire stock of machinery and equipment and found that the purchase was apparent ly a most satisfactory one. John Eg bert, of Philadelphia, an experienced silk manufacturer, is co-operating with local capitalists in moving the mill here. A building is expected to be erected here and the machinery moved just as quickly as possible and it is be lieved the plant will be in operation by next spring. This will be Lex ington’s first silk weaving plant, though some silk is used in cloth in the Erlanger mill and a large quantity of silk hosiery is made here. NEGLEY WINNER IN CONTEST OF MAYOR Court Rules That Holmes Was Never Entitled to Hold the Office. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 31—Claude E. Negley reigned alone as mayor of Indianapolis tonight. His most ac tive contender for the place—lra M. Holmes, an attorney—withdrew fol lowing an adverse court ruling today on his motion to dissolve an order restraining him from interfering with Negley. Superior Judge Joseph M. Milner in his ruling declared Holmes “Is not now and never has been entitled to the office of mayor.” A short time later, Holmes delivered his keys to the mayor’s chamber to Negley. WILDCATS ARE GIVEN HOLIDAY BY COACHES Younger Finds His Men Are Tired So Orders Complete Day of Rest For Squad. Davidson, N. C., Nov. I.—“ You can go rabbit-hunting or you can play golf, but under no pretense are you to be seen around the athletic field to morrow With this brief statement, Monk Younger dismissed his David son football charges Monday after noon, following a short but snappy signal practice. Asked why he was giving his boys a holiday so soon after their humil iating 20-0 defeat at the hand of the V. M. I. Flying Squadron and on the eve of their second battle with one of North Carolina’s “Big Five” teams, Monk declared that his men were com pletely worn out and that they needed rest more than they did practice. “In the game with V. M. I. Sat urday,” Younger explained, “my men showed plainly the strain under which they have been working all ’season. After the first quarter their strength was gone, their nerves were shot, and try as they did they could not bolster up their spirits enought to carry the ball one yard to a touchdown after they had driven it 'more than sixty yards with seemingly no trouble at all.” Consequently the Wildcats will for get their gridiron troubles Tuesday and take life easy. Not even the prospect of defeat at the hands of a triumphant N. C. State Wolfpack next Saturday will be able to spoil their holiday. Johnny Melton, Davidson’s most powerful linemen, watched the V. M. 1.-Davidson tilt from a seat high up in the stadium, and there is little hope for his return to the Wildcat lineup again this year. Coach Tilson tried Leftwich as a successor for Melton in last Saturday’s engagement, but he had Baker running in Melton’s stead at the Monday afternoon rehearsal. The Davidson coaches will do a lot of shifting before they fine as capable a man as Melton for the vacant tackle berth. Ed. Wilson, Davidson quarterback, has a fractured finger. His injury is not believed to be serious enough to keep him out of the State-Davidson encounter Saturday in Greensboro, hut it means that the Wildcats will either have to unearth a new hur’.er for their passes or give up their aerial attack, and -it seems hardly possible that Younger will suddenly discover a new passer among his charges this late in the season. In the final analy sis, Wilson’s injury means that the Wildcats —except for the few short passes that Captain Grey can hurl— will not be trying the air this week. NORTH CAROLINA GIRL WHITE SLAVE VICTLM Essie May Bass Alleged to Have Been Lured to Washington by Chinese Tong. Washington, Oct. 31. —Isabelle Lee, a white woman, alleged to be the wife of Charley Lee, wealthy member of the Hip Song tong, recently held un der SIO,OOO bond by Judge Mattingly, today was indicted by the District grand jury on a charge of white slav ery. She is charged with bringing a 17- year-old white girl from North Caro lina to the District for immoral pur poses. The girl, E*sie May Bass, at the police court hearing, when the woman was held, charged that Isa belle Lee brought her to Washington promising her employment at $25 per week and assuring her that she would not have to work in a Chinese res taurant. The girl was taken to the home of Lee at 110 Third, street, N. W. She was discovered when Policeman Burke, of the sixth precinct, had his sus picions aroused when he saw 22 Chi nese visit the place in one day. Led by Burke, a squadron of police raided the house and found the girl. Says Changing Morals Bring on New System of Education. Charlotte, Nov. I.—Changing morals of the nation have led to a change in the system of education throughout the country, Dean Johnston, of the school of education at North Carolina College for Women, declared today in efti address before local teachers. In discussing the “new spirit of in quiry”, he pointed out that the change in morals of the present day has led thinking people, especially among the student class, to question all authori ties and take nq decisions without in quiry and consideration. An added responsibility is placed on teachers in directing the thought of this inquir ing class, he said. A scheme is under eonsiaeration for heating the whole of Reykiavik, the capital of Iceland, by water de rived from subterranean hot springs.
