Knoxville, Tenn., June 11).—Do
men, more than women, fail to carry

BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS
BY DYNAMITE BLAST
Bodies of Two Negro Men Reduced
to Fragments By Explosion.
Monroe, June 18.—The bodies of
Mansfield Blnkney, Amos Itiehard

sat on two eases with two other enses |
near him, finishing the tamping in I
the fourth hole, the ten cases carried I
out a little white before went off as |
one shot. The explrsion was with j
such force that people throughout
the whole county knew that an ac-1

COMPLEXION OF THE
NEXT LEGISLATURE
Proportion of Republicans Will Be
About Same as Last Year.
Tribune Bureau.
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh. June 10.—What about
the Republicans? Is there any porta
bility that the complexion of the
next State Senator House of Repre- j
sentntives will take on a more Cal-1
vinistic hue, Coolidgistically speak
ing? Let's see.
According to figures available at
the present time and supplied by
H. M. London, State Legislative
Librarian, todate there have been 8!)
Democrats and 24 Republicans nomi
nated for the State House of Repre
sentatives. In the last legislature!
there were exactly 100 Democratic
members of the House and 20 Re
publicans. While a number of Demo
cratic counties have not yet made
their nominations ns yet, on the face
of things, the make-up of the next
House should approximate about the
same proposition of Democrats and
Republicans as in 1025, although
some believe that the Republicans
have a good opportunity to increase l
their margin this time.
11l scanning the roster of nominees
for the State Senate, it is found that
at present there are 45 Democratic I
nominees and 15 Republicans seek
ing a sent in the Senate. There are
three senatorial districts in which
second primaries must be held, name
ly in th Seventh, in which Charles
S. Wallace must fight it out with J.
S. Hargett; the sixteenth district, in
which W. B. Horton and T. S- Neal
must contend for the seat from
Caswell county and the eighteenth
district, where J. Chesley Sedbury of
Rockingham and L. K. Bakeman of
Hamlet must contend. Two other
nominees are yet to be made in con
vention, one from the Tweuty-nifith
district, in which by agreement Ashe
county has the choice, and in the
Twenty-fourth district, where the
nominee will in all probability be a
republican. In the last Senate there
were 47 Democrats and three Re
publicans, It is said that three Re
publicans is the “irreducible mini
mum”, and that this year the num
ber may be swelled to five or six-
It is interesting to note in con
nection with the small number of
Republicans in both houses of the
legislature, that’in reality there is
really a large number in the State,
judging from the vote cast in the
gubernatorial elections of 1020 and
1024. In 1020. the Republican can
didate for governor, Judge John J.
Parker, received a vote of 230,175
while Cnmeron Morrison, the Demo
cratic candidate, received 305.151
votes. Thus it may be seen that of
the total vote east, 43 per cent was
Republican.
In the election of 1024, when A.
W. McLean was elected governor,
the percentage of the. Republican
vote was not quite so great, al
though it was by no menus negligible.
Governor McLean polled a vote of
204,441 while Judge Isnae M.
Meek ins, the Republican nominee for
governor, obtained a vote of 230,-
175, or approximately 38 per cent, of
the total vote east. It is worth noth
ing here, in passing, that the Repub
liean candidate for Governor in
North Carolina is in reality a can
didate for the appointment as Fed
eral Judge, according to the tradi
tions of the State.
Thus it may be seen that while
from 38 to 43 per cent of the' voters
of the State are Republicans, their
representation in the State Senate
' only from 0 to 10 per cent, and but
1 little more than that in the House
of Representatives.

IGREAT DIRIGIBLES

Giant Ships Will Be Me

Died on Shenandoah.
MUST KEEP ON
WITH THE WORK
If We Turn Back, Says
Admiral, We Will Play
False to Men Who Died
on the Dirigible.
Lnkehurst. N. J.. June 1!)—(A 3 ) —
The two great dirigibles to be built
for tin* navy were described today by
Rear Admiral Moffett, chief of the
Bureau of Aeronautics, as “imposing
monuments" to the deal of the Shen
andoah disaster.
The navy air chief came here to
speak at a memorial service for the
officers and men who “went down*’ in
tin* Shenandoah, and in his prepared
address he urged :
“That the lives of the heroes of the
Shenandoah may not have been in
vain, it is our solemn duty to com
plete the work which they have start
ed. I.et the Shenandoah be a mile
stone in the development of a new
age of civilization.”
“It must be a consolation to the
relatives of these men to know that
their beloved ones gave up their lives
for benefit nnd progress of their fel
-1 low beings. When in the future
I they see huge airships traveling over
tht world, bringing nations togther
and promoting universal peace, they
wiil recognize that these officers and
men were pioneers in that progress.”
Most of the metal salvaged from the
Shenandoah, he said will be used in
the two dirigibles and “with the
spirit of tiie Shenandoah in them
j they cannot help but be fine and
strong, for there will ever be present
the example of the courage and calm
ness unler the stress of danger nnd
despair of officers and men to whom
we pay reverent homage today.”

DESIRE FOR ANTIQUES ,
HAS BECOME GENERAL
. 1
Thousands of Antique Shops Have
Sprung Up Everywhere.
New York, June 15). — UP) —The
wealthy art and furniture collector ]
in America lias hnd to make room i
for his liot-eo-wealthy neighbor, who ■
just a few years ago was satisfied ,
with modernity.
Thousands of antique shops wnich .
■have sprung up in towns and cities ,
nnd along the highways and byways (
is one evidence that the love of old ,
I and beautiful things has become gen
eral, so New York’s art row points ,
out.
i
No Longer Wealthy Hobby. ,
“Collecting has always been a hob
by of the wealthy,” said Otto Bernet, ]
of the American Art Association, ,
"and always will be. I remember,
however, a period not so many years
ago when there was a craze for
modern things for the it forage home.
"The old chairs and tables and ob
jects which had conic down through
thi* years were stored away in the
cellars and attics of many homos or
sold. Some were even thrown away.
“Then began the gradual change
and from obscurity came the old
things. The demand became greater
and naturally she antique shops in
creased in number and the art auc
tion houses did a larger business.”
Seek Early American Objects.
Throughout the United States the
demand for enrly American furniture
is great. Equally sought are the ear
ly English. Spanish, Italian and
French periods.
California and Florida have
achieved a unique reputation among
dealers here. They virtually are the
only two states in the country from
which the demand for Spanish and
Italian furniture overshadows the
other types. This is explained by the
predominance of Spanish and Italian
architecture in the homes there.
More colonial furniture is used in
the South than in any other section.
Construction of smaller houses
and the increase in apartment dwel
lers have been reflected in antique
and art shops through the present
strong demand for small pieces of
furniture and other objects.
