LENOIR. N. C. LENOIB NEWS-TOPIC, JUNE 30, 1921 P2e Thre SOME BLUE LAWS THAT WERE THE GENUINE THING Many who have heard of the Con necticut "blue laws" have probably never had the opportunity of perus ing tie celebrated code. Various towns in North Carolina are adopt ing laws know nas "blue laws," but they seem very mild after reading these Connecticut laws, which were taken from an ancient volume relat ing to American colonies. They were enacted by the people of the "Domin ion of New Haven" and, being print ed on blue paper, became known as blue laws: "No one shall be a freeman or give a vote unless he be converted and a member of one of the churches al lowed in the dominion. "Each freeman shall swear by the blessed God to bear true allegiance to this dominion, and that Jeus is the only King. "No Quaker, or dissenter from the established worship of this dominion, shall be allowed to give a vote for the electing of llgaistrates or any other officer. "No food or lodging shall be offer ed to Quaker, Adamite or heretic. "If any person turn Quaker he will be banished and not suffered to re turn but on pain of death. "No priest shall abide in the do minion; he shall be banished and suf fer death on his return.

"When parents refuse their chil dren marriages the Magistrate shall determine the 'point. "The selectmen, finding children ignorant, may take them away from their parerife and put them in better hands at the expense of their par ents." A DEFINITE PLAN TO KEEP THE NEGRO OUT OF POLITICS Propaganda from an unrevealed source urging the organization of "white Republican parties" in, the Southern States is being circulated in Washington, says H. E. C. Bryant in the Charlotte. Observer. Peter Mi chelson, a publicity expert, issued a statement of that kind Monday. He did not explain on what author ity he speaks, but no doubt he is backed by a strong array of Republi cans who have money to spend on their enterprise. A definite, well greased movement to bar the negro politician is being put on foot, and the administration is not frowning it down. Within the last week lending negro politicians have been told that they will not be given positions under the Harding administration that have to be passed upon by the Senate. That is under stood to mean the pobs of register of the treasury and recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia will go to white men. A large number, of places will go to prominent colored men and women, but the Senate will not have to give its coisent to the appointments. Thi3 agreement on the part of the administration was not reached until Will H. Hays had quit as chairman of the Republican national committee snd was succeeded by John 1. Ad jtims. Mr. Hays opposed the Slemp plan to force the negro to the back ground and eliminate him as an issue in the South, His opposition was not open and aggressive but strong enough to interfere with plans to build up a "white Republican party in South Carolina, Georgia and other Southern Stales where the negro has been active in the G. 0. P. meetings, afthouhg he cast but few votes in gen eral elections. - I Chairman Adams, it was under stood, was more friendly to the Slemp idea. In the distribution of raironasre the Southern negro will be ignored if white men can be had for tie jobs. The Republican leaders "are experiencing som etrouble in or ganizing a formidable warty of whites in .South Carolina; Tney have been Ejry v , 5W HAKV ! A lNT I AiNT THAT A WOMAN ji?'1 .. a...

WOMEN WILL PATRONIZE THE CLEANEST MARKET It isn't at all difficult to know the women who are vitally interested in the welfare of our town. These' women will go to a meeting of the Betterment Association on a hot sum mer afternoon, with no reward in the way of refreshments or prizes, to discuss and plan for the civic and moral betterment of the community. Sixteen were present at .the meeting last Friday. It was held on Mrs. J. L. Nelson s spacious porch, an ideal meeting place. After hearing a report or the fed eration by Mrs. Rufus Gwyn many subjects of importance were present ed and passed upon. Perhaps the subject of having sanitary meat mar kets was the imost important item brought up. And here is a "tip" to the market men: The women are going to keep their eyes open and are going to give their patronage to the best-kept market, which means, in plain language, the cleanest. The Betterment Association expects to back up in every way possible the .'ordinances passed by the town board recently. The Federation voted to establish a free bed at the Sanitarium for Tu berculosis in memory of Mrs. Mc- Braver, who was chairman of the health department at the time of her death. The Betterment Association voted to give $15 to this most worthy cause. The committee for installing the public drinking fountain reported that thev were getting things in shape and hope to have it completed in a short time. WOMAN'S PARTY IS NOW READY TO FIGHT Militant suffragists, the reorgan ized national woman's party, is now ready to make a drive on Congress, says a dispatch from Washington. With a new home, overlooking the capitol, and a national advisory coun cil, the former Alice Paul organiza tion is planning an elaborate program for the uplift of women. Leaders of the present crew indicated that they had given the Republican administra tion a little time to get its bearings before presenting their demands but would now ask for serious considera tion. The final draft of the "woman's bill of rights" will be drawn. The militants speak of this as .the bill "which the woman's party will intro duce in Congress." "This measure," the Washington spokesman for the party said, "is de signed to remove by one act the legal forms of the subjection of women in the laws of the United States and the several states and territories, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. "The campaign to be launched y the woman's party carries on the project outlined by the first woman's rights convention at Seneca Falls in 1848, when the movement was begun for securing social, educational, political,- legaLand economic freedom for women. "This measure will revolutionize I ihe legal tradition of eleven centuries of common law subjugation of wom en and substitute a new principle of legal equality for women in court decisions and legal interpretation." It is said the woman's party is find ing it difficult to arouse interest in the South for the reason that women in this section will stick to the two old parties. .
