On his modest income as a deputy
sheriff the family for many years live*!
in a flat above a corner grocery store.
Trains in the Garden.
This garden will also be Bed’s gym.
Under the watchful eye of his father,
who is a real trainer. Red is roared
out of bed every morning at 7 to busy
himself with the’ spade and bucksaw
under a regimen which his father
supervises.
r “He’s the real boss.” says “Red”
of his bad. ‘‘l’ll follow his advice be
cause he’s everything I’ve got. Noth
ing else counts much. I’ve got him
fixed now. He’ll never have to worry.
I’m satisfied.”
This was a long speech for “Red.”
He says very little. In fact, he is n
I bit shy. But he is an entirely different
Redhead at home here.
“Harold,” says the father proudly,
“has been taught the art of industry
ever since lie’s been a baby and he’s
going to keep busy as long as I live.
“I never had the chance for much
schooling when I was a lad.
“I was raised in Pennsylvania and
in the lumber camps where I worked
as foreman it was necessary for i.
fellow to be a regular he-man if he
wanted to get along.
“That’s how I raised Harold an<
that's how I’m rais'ng Garland. I’ve
tried to put real spunk and character
in them and I’ve tried to give them a
chance to be what I always wanted
to be, but never fyad the opportunity.”
Money Won’t Bather Him.
“Harold will be a playboy.
His money, will never bother him.
He’s got the Grange spirit too deep
ly planted in him.”
As for the Redhead, he has no defi
nite plans. Hip’H be out in California
I most of the summer in the movies. A
| S3OO.<XK) retainer has already been de
posited in his name in a Whenton i
j bank to assure fulfillment of that en-.
gngement.
And next, fall he plans to enter
school again to complete his studies
for a degree at the University of 11-
linois, which he left last year to play
professional football.
“I know this can't last forever,”
says Red of his present fame. “But
I've got everything I ever wanted.
And I'm going to make the best of
What’s at hand while it's here.
“I honestly haven't a single busi
ness program mapped out for myself;
when I finish playing football.
"I may go into the lumber business
but I haven't given it any definite I
thought.
“And you can put this down as'
gospel truth. I'm positively not plan,
ning to marry anybody, either here in
Wheaton or any other city.
Insists on Working.
"My dad and brother Garland mean
everything to me. I’m going to see
the kid through school and I'm going
to make the dad take it easy if I can.
Rut I doubt that. He just insists on
working at something."
"Red's father has quit his deputy
sheriff job.”
Just now he is busy directing the
work of refinishitig the house that his
son gave him.
“It's a mighty fine house,” says
the old man. “And Harold's a son
to be proud of, just bke his brother
Garland.
“They're real men. That's what I
raised 'em to be. That's all that
counts. Character and not money is
what the world needs today. Money
is nice. But between the two char
acter is the more important.
“And,” says Harold, “if anybody

808 REYNOLDS MAKING
l A WHIRLWIND CAMPAIGN
His Optimism is Causing .Some Worry
in the Overman Camp.
The Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. May B.—After rather a'
quiet week In oScial circles, almost;
a complete cessation of developments,
! has marked the week-end with the
departure of Gov. A. W. McLean overj
Friday and Saturday for a br'et visit'
to his home in Lumberton. from which
he expects to return Sunday night.
.On Monday afternoon he will part'ei
: pate in the exercises of Memorial Day,
and will deliver the principal address
!at 4 o'clock in the city cemetery at,
i the memorial services sponsored ny the!
| I’. D. C. This will probably be the
'only noteworthy happening of the
day. as all the state departments r.nd
! offices will be closed, as Memorial Day
is a legal holiday. Aside from the
exerc'ses to be held in the cemetery
and the decoration of the graves, no
other formal celebration of the day
has been planned.
Interest continues to be manifest
in the Fundamentalist-Modernism con
troversy that burst forth like a sky
rocket in Charlotte the first of the
week anil which scattered clusters of
stars to the four corners of the
stnte. While some are incline I to
! think that this outburst was but the
| beginning of an acrimoniocs contro
' versy that is destined to grow and be
come more bitter as the “Committee
of 100” continues its agitation of
, some sort of legislation for the sup
pression of the teaching of evolution
in state supported schools, many of
the more conservative minded people
do not seem to be alarmed at the sit
uation and fail to become excited at
tfie prospect. Judge W. H. Neal,
Chairman of the “Committee of 100"
has consistently declined to discuss
either Fundamentalism, evolution or
I the plans of his committee since his
I return from the Charlotte fray which;
I is interpreted by some to be an indi-
I cation that he, if not the other nem-
I bers of the committee as well, are
somewhat regretful of the Charlotte
1 spectacle and anxious to let Its re
membrance be erased from the public
mind.
The more or less fragmentary pres
ence in Raleigh the last few days of
R. R. Reynolds, that meteoric young
man from Asheville who is making
rather a whirlwind “personal contact"
campaign for the nomination for the
United States Senate against Seneator
Lee Slater Overman in the June 5
primary, has provided considerable
food for thought for politicians and
others interested in the political sit
uation. Reynolds has been in the
1 city only a few hours at a time, be
-1 tween trips to various counties, from
‘ all of which he returns with glowing
and opUmistic predications. In fact.'
it is this unyielding optimism that I
brooks no discouragements, that is I
: serving to cause some worry in the!
Overman camp. i
Although it is readily conceded by
those most familiar with the situation
that Senator Overman enjoys the al
most undivided sup]>ort of the so
called democratic machine in the
state, which embraces the old line,
conservative wing of the Democratic
party in North Carolina, that there j
is a certain class of voters to whom
Reynolds is making a strong appeal, I
cannot be denied. It is principally i
among the farmers, the women vot
ers and in the Industrial sections.
Reynolds in making very few speech
es. depending rather upon personal
contact with the people, although Mon
day afternoon he is to be the speaker
of the day at Lexington, in Davidson
county. Today (Saturday) he is mak
ing the rounds in Franklin county.
He reports that so far he has been in
73 counties and has met and shaken
hands with more than 10.000 people.
In between times he is working on
his interest book of travel, "Romantic
India” Which lie expects to publish
within the next few months.
While the majority believe that
Senator Overman is in no particular
danger at the coming primary, they
readily admit that the contest is be
coming warm, if not somewhat spec
tacular. At any rate, it Is interesting
to watch.
A Fish and Snake Story.
Tile following personal experience
is related by the Rev. O. L. Gibbon,
a I’athfinder reader and pastor of the
First Raptist Church at Guthrie,
Okla.:
“While out fishing one day I came
upon a ]>ond of water in whicli a
large water moccasin was struggling
with an equally large catfirfi. With
its jaws firmly clamped down upon
' the mouth of the fish, the reptile
sought to smother the victim into
submission and to make a landing on
the shore. This was accomplished
after about five minutes of terrific
wrestling. Standing on the oppo
site bank I wondered what I could
do to rescue the fish so I threw my
line out, catching the hook in the
body of the snake, and d-etr both
anoss the pond to my feet. With a
club in hand I proceeded to kill the
moccasin and to turn the fish loose
again. The reptile either would not
or could not relinquish its hold upon
the fish until compelled to do so by
force.”
Dr. T. T. Martin Given n Solar
Plexus Blew.
Charity and Children.
The Charlotte political debate gave
a solar plexua to Dr. T. T. Martin,
who is in North Carolina to tell hon
est North Carolina voters how to be
have. He will make hia campaign,
however, notwithstanding be ta not
wanted. Dr. Martin is an able man.
but he made a mistake in leaving his
great work as an evangelist to meddle
in North Carolina polities.
'She stingiest person I know is a
man who takes hia wife to the lobby
of a motion picture theatre and lets
her look at the p'eturen ao She can
tell her neighbors she aaw the pictures.
