Local Officials Get Non-Par
tisan Views on Constitution
Both Sides Are presented In Cur
rent Issue Of Popular Govern- 1
ment" Presents Principal Is- I
sues Involved
All of the Issues Involved in the
proposed Constitution for North |
Carolina are presented from a non
partisan point of view and are sub-.
Jected to a searching analysis In
the current issue of "Popular Gov
ernment," the official organ of the l
Institute of Government, which has
Just been received by local county
and city officials and many members
of the bar. t
The study was made by Dillard S.
Gardner and Henry Brandis, asso-1
ciate directors of the Institute. The
comprehensive and fair treatment!
given the proposed basic law has,
evoked much favorable comment i
from those who have seen advance i
copies of the publication.
It required 150 pages for this is
sue of the booklet to tell the full
story about the Constitution. It be
gins with an historical outline of
the Constitutions of North Carolina
?past, present, and proposed. It,
compares the provisions of the pres
ent and proposed constitutions, the
principal issues involved and the
main considerations urged for and
against it by its advocates and op
ponents.
The booklet is divided into eleven'
articles under the following general
headings: "The Bill of Rights," "The 1
Legislative Department," "The Exe- 1
cutive Department," "The Judicial j
Department," "Revenue, Taxation. |
and Public Debt," "Suffrage and
Eligibility to Office," "Education,"
"Homesteads and Exemptions,"
"Public Welfare. Institutions and
Punishments," "Agriculture, Indus
try and Miscellaneous," "Amend
ments, Existing Laws and Offices."
In the effort to make this analy
sis fair and impartial Mr. Gardner
and Mr. Brandis have < 1 > discussed
it with its leading advocates and
opponents, (2) studies their public
utterances, (3) submitted the re
sults to them in manuscript form
for further suggestions and criti
cisms, (4) quoted from their own
arguments in their , own words, and ?
(5) sent advance copies to represen
tatives of groups of officers and|
citizens throughout the state in or
der to incorporate all points of
view into the final printing.

Lesson
By Rev. Charles E. Dunn
I
Lesson for July 29th. X Kings 22
Golden Text: I Kings 22-14
This is a day of International
conferences. It is the custom, in
some quarters, to disparage such
gatherings because they seem to ac
complish so little. It must be re
membered, however, that the very
fact that nations assemble for pur
poses of consultation is, in itself,
a great gain. And the more they
get together the more the technic
of their negotiations is improved |
Now the lesson admits us into the
presence of two ancient monarchs
engaged in consultation. Here we
have an early example of interna
tional cooperation. It is all the more
Illuminating because the two men
were opposite? in character. One of
them. Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.
was a good ruler who carried out the
religious reforms of his high-mind
ed father Asa. The other was Ahab,
one cf the worst of the kings of Is
rael despite his energy and courage.
Was this alliance an evil? The
apostles of isolation would answer
"Yes! Samaria, with its corrupt
court, was no place for a statesman
with the decent impulses of Jeho
shaphat." And they would continue.
In the same strain, to argue against
the entrance of the United States
into the World Court or the League
of Nations.
It seems clear, however, that the
agreement between the two king
doms was fundamentally a good. It
certainly ended the long hostility
between them. To be sure, the Joint
military adventure against Syria
came to a sad ending at the battle
of Ramoth-gilead. Itie candid Mi
caiah spoke the bldnt truth in fore
telling this disaster to the allied ar
mies. In contrast to Ahab's lying
prophets Micaiah is refreshing in
his honest proclamation of doom
But the loss of a battle does not
Invalidate the principle of united
efTort. Uncle Sam rightfully placed
his tremendous resources at the dis
posal of the Allies in 1917 even
though he thereby contracted the
worst head-ache he has ever had.
We must learn to be internationally
minded despite every risk.

QUINTUPLETS SET
LONGEVITY MARK
Dionne Children Still Getting Along
Nicely; All Not Owt Of _
Danger Yet
Callander, Ont., July 18.?All re
cords for longevity of quintuplets
were broken today by the Dionne
sisters? Yvonne, Annette, oecilc,
Emilie and Marie.
Only 33 sets of quintplets have
been born since 1694.
By living beyond July 17 the
Canadian babies, bom May 28, broke
a record established in 1866 in Lis
bon, Portugal, by a girl who died
on the fiftieth day of her life. Med
ical history records the life of no
other quintuplets beyond two weeks.
The p?evious record for group
survival was-a mere four days. This
was held by the Lyon boys of Ken
tucky, bom in. 1896. Their parents
had seven children, all bom singly,
before the quintuplets arrived, all
born within 12 minutes. The first
child died after four days and in
two weeks all were dead.
Dr. A. R. Dafoe, the country doc
tor who assisted the Dionne quin
tuplets into the world, said today
he is "well pleased" with their pro
gress.
"I would make it plain, however,
that they are not yet free from dan
ger, especially the two younger ones,
Emilie and Marie," he said.
"Yvonne, the oldest and biggest,
is doing very well and I think she
and Annette, the second oldest, will
be equal to normal badies In two
weeks. Oeoile, the third baby. Is
coming aleng. but she is not the
equal of her older sisters."
It will be necessary to measure
16,000 tobacco fields in Surry Coun
ty to survey the acreage affected by
the adjustment contracts signed by
growers. ,

Al Smith Again
With Tammany
Makes His Peat* With Wigwam
And Appnup To Give Advice
To New Leader
New York, July 19.?Al Smith, the
"Happy Warrior" of other days,
made his peace today at the Tam
many wigwam.
The former governor, estranged
from Tammany Hall in the turbu
lent reign of John F. Curry, return
ed to give his advice and counsel to
the new leader, youthful but cau
tious James J. Dooling.
This action presaged speedy ac
complishment of a new charter for
New York City, consolidating the
out-moded, over-lapping municipal
and county governments.
"X had a talk with the new lead
er," Smith said at his office in the
Empire State Building. "We dis
cussed the constitutional amend
ments for a new form of city gov
ernment I found his views were very
j sound. He expressed the desire to
;be helpful and I think hell come
along in fine shape. He's coming
to see me next week for a longer
discussion.'*"
Asked if their visit foretold a re
turn to influence once more in
Tammany, the 1928 Democratic
presidential candidate asked:
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, everyone knows your ad
vice has not been sought and has
not been given in Tammany's recent
years. Does your visit with Dool
ing mean you'll once more be active
and give your council in shaping its
policies?"
"Yes." he replied. "I suppose j
that's right.
"I am anxious to help the young j
man all I can. I like him and I:
think he's going to do a fine job." j
Textile Market

FeelingDemand
In Past Ten Days Many Bayers
Have Been Noted In New York's
Textile Markets
Charlotte, July 19.?A feeling
closely approaching enthusiasm over
the progress of the cotton textile
markets is developing among Caro
lina manufacturers, according to re
ports obtained from various well in
formed sources here today, states
an article in The Charlotte News.
One of the most significant re-1
ports was that obtained from D. H.
Hill. Jr., associate editor of The
Textile Bulletin, who was inform
ed that In the past ten days more
buyers have visited the textile mar
kets in New York than in any sim-1
ilar period in many years.
Brisk Demand.
Reports coming into Charlotte
over brokers' wires and to manu
facturers .from their selling agents
said that the demand for print
cloths is particularly brisk and the
demand for almost all other lines of
textiles is broadening steadily, with
buyers showing a willingness to pay
somewhat advanced prices. ?
i The industry as a whole is not
disturbed at present, it was learn-1
ed by the strike in Alamaba and
other scattered localities. In - this
connection it was pointed out that,
though mills where strikes are in
progress must suffer losses, the in
dustry as a whole will have its sta
tistical position strengthened some
what. in addition to the improve
ment that is being brought about

There s more power in THAT GOOD UULh GASOUNt
by the current 25 per cent curtail
ment In production.
Some of the New York experts
on cotton prices are sending to their
clients suggestions that 20-cent cot
ton within a few months appears
possible, unless conditions in Texas
and other drought-stricken sections
of the belt immediately receive
soaking rains. Predictions of 15
cent cotton in recent days have
been heard frequently among tex
tile industrialists here, some of
whom admitted that their stocks of
raw cotton: are below normal. At!
the present' level of around 13 cents
for spot cotton quotations, the mills
in fact are working with 17-cent or
higher cotton' .because of the 4-2
cent processing tax per pound.
