■Raleigh. June 26.—A determimed ef
fort on the part of North Carolina
Republicans to increase their strength
in > the eastern section of the state
is I seen in the- anno>nneement that
Republican headquarters for thin dis
trict will be opened in Raleigh Jniy

quarters, which will be . located in

committee and Republican candidate
for the Finitetl States Senate oppos
ing Senator Lee S. Overman in the
November flection, who has been in
: Raleigh-for several. days, declined to
comment on this angle of the' situa
tion. but it is tacitly understood'that
this is the ease.
And although it is hardly ethical
from a Democratic standpoint, some
more outspoken Republican enthusi
asts predict Senator Overman is by
no means out of danger because he
defeated Robert B. Reynolds in the
June sth primary, because many who
supported Reynolds ,jn the primary
will in November support the Repub
lican candidate for senator rather
than vote for Overman- So there
you are. And whether there is any
fact as a foundation, the Republicans
■ are going to make it a strong talking
■ point in their campaign. They' have
j not been slow to seize upon the slogan
I broadcast by Reynolds in his cam
j paign that “the people want a change”

1 be given a hearing” in the affairs of
the government. It may be that
there are a number yho will Jake

it invades eastern North Carolina, in

MONUMENT to SAM DAVIS i
Another Confederate Hero to Be Hon
ored in Marble. J ' i
(By International News Service)
.Columbia, Tenn., June 28.—Mem
ory of another Confederate herb will
be here early in July
when, a monument of taxed finished
Georgia marble, ornnmented with on
ly an old-Civil War musket, is un
veiled ort ’the spot where Sam Davis
was Captured while on an important
war mission.
Contract For the memorial already
has been awarded, and it is expected
that it will be unveiled ijere before
July 15th, although the exact date»
for the unveiling has noUbeen set.
The silver gray stone will be placed
neyr the Bee-Line highway at jifinor
Hill, sixteen miles south of Pulaski
county. It was here that Davis, af
ter being captured, refused to di
vulge the source of information he
carried, and as a result was tried,
condemned and hanged in Pulaski
county.
Tickles the Wicked.
The Uptight. /
, ,Thq lovers of the sensational are
being feasted on the unfortunate con
dition that confronts Dr. Chappell,
the suspended pastor of Central
Methodist Church of Asheville.
The world rejoices when a preach
er gets entangled. It is cowardly. If
the world cannot give a better ex
cuse for being wicked than that of a *
preacher becoming involved in a
.scandal, it has founded its cause on
I sand. The brave mid manly thing to
|'do it to withhold'judgment, give the
; victim the benefit of a trial.
J Kjmving Dr. Boyer as we do, we
' make bold to say that he is so honest
. and fearless and just that he would
refuse to defend a man if he thought
! him guilty. As long as Dr. Boyer re
-1 gards Dr. Chapell asthe victim of an
unfortunate and uncontrolnble ,cir
i cumstnnce and that he is innocent of
any wrong intentions, the public is
I safe in withholding its condemnation.
