Friday, June 15, 1928 Not a Square Deal Former Governor Cameron Morrison did not get j a square deal at the convention in Raleigh Tiiesday. He was made the ({oat by the Smith floor leader in N trying to drag their delegation through by heading j their ticket with his name, against his will, and then j the Hull men refused to hear his explanation and howled him down.^ It may have been , a scheme of Josiah William Bailey to try to raise a row between Simmons and Morrison. Josiah has always been caMed smart and sometimes tricky.* , 4 An Unfair Basis L)emicratic presidential candidates are not nomi nated on a fair basis. Every State in New England sends a solid delega tion to Houston and not a minority voice is heard. In North Carolina. Democrats do not think such rep resentation is fair and put their votes in the conven tion according to the will of the people. I'he same binding unit rule of solid delegations from every one of the great Northern States will prevail at Houston. Pennsylvania, with 76 votes at Hcuston, has not cast a single Democratic electoral vote for President in 60 years. Yet that State has more to do with the selection of the Democratic candidate than North Car olina, South Carolina, and (ieorgia combined, with half of Flontia thrown in. Of course, Pennsylvania will go solid fiV Smith, because the unit rule has l>een run over the anti-Smith men. When it comes to the-; South, which has to do the electing, if any electing is done, then the very same forces thut have run the steam roller over every opposing minority in the Re publican North cries for recognition from the Demo cratic South It is fair for the South to recognize all minorities, if the north would do the same thing. The Souht will never succeed as a real factor in National Democratic councils so long as it regards it self as the step-child of the North, which it has done in almost every cam|>aign since the Civil War. The Democratic Party has had the habit of going to the convention as gamblers; the game has Ikhti to let New York name the candidate, hoping to get the j vote of the States of New York, New Jersey, and | 'Massachusetts, which they almost invariably do not j get. ' If the Southern and Western Democrats had chos en a candidate at every election since the Civil War who embraced fully the principles of the democracy that we really proclaim, the party would stand bet ter today in the Nation than it does. We took John W. Davis at the last election and Coolidge received nearly 16,000,000 votes, while Davis received a frac tion over 8,000,000. The Republican North nominated James M. Cox ill 1920, and he received 9,000,000 votes and Harding 16,000,000. » In 1916 the democracy of the country, uumiaated Woodrow Wilson. He got 9,000,000 votes and Hughes 8,000,000. New York went against Wilson by 110,000 and Penhsylvania by 200,000 votes. In 1912 Pennsylvania gave Taft and Roosevelt combined 710,000 votes and Wilson 395,000. In 1924 New York gave Coolidge 1,800,000 votes and Davis 900,000. Pennsylvania nave Coolidge 1,- 400,000, Davis 400,000. New York has not given a single Democratic vote for President in 25 years--electoral vote, that is— ' 1 NOTICE North Carolina. Martin County.

Julv loth, 1928, at 12 o'clock noon, the following de scribed land: .

H. Roebuck. batted and bounded as follows, to wit: Beginning at John F Thigpen's cor acr in Conoho Creek, thence along the ran of Conoho Creek to Slade't corner, thence south W 1-2 west 31 1-2 poles to the highland, thence along the high-o except in *912, when Wilson got the State vote be-, „ j cause he had a plurality over Talf and Roosevelt.: , yet the Republican vote was 190,000 greater than j the Democratic vote. In the Houston convention 9 out of the 10 solid voting States that do the nominating of the Demo cratic candidates will not give a single Democratic j electoral vote next November. Judge Grady and the Law 's s * I ____ '' The iron-clad county government law passed by ' the last legislature does not leave room for merCy, | according to both Judge Grady and Governor Mc j I.ean. . i I'he clash between the law and the people came I when the land of 3,500 taxpayers of Duplin County was advertised for taxes due for 1927. Judge Grady said he had no law ujxjn which to grant an injunc tion against the sale as advertised by the sheriff, but I he did have, according to his order, plenty of sympathy for the fellows who planted their crops expecting to sell enough to not only pay taxes but to have some thing to live on, but crops failed and there was noth-. | ing to pay with except the farm, and not only did the farmers have to pay the taxes but a 20 per cent I interest |ienalty was added. j Governor .AlcLean upholds the county finance act in a very forceful way. Doubtless l»oth sides have good points. The coun ty finance act is no doubt a very good law in many j respects.' Yet it is something that was sent down for j the people, and not so. much a thing that came up | from the people. Almost every fellow thinks he has a good plan for the use of the other man, and while j the county finance act may save the folks on one hand, it is topheavy and burdensome on the other. It is designed to simplify, but it has not. The only way a county can"4ind out how it stands now is to hire an auditor to post its books, and fewer people know how the public affairs stand than in years past. We have in this county but one man who has a fair knowledge of the income and outgo of our county . funds, and we pay an Auditor each year to see if he really knows. As to our school funds, the same thing applies. We have an audit each year and get a statement in mass form. ' The people do not know who gets the money from the statements, since no -Statement of the indi- - vidua! payments are ever and no one short of a good bookk,ee|>er can find just who the individ- j uals are Who get the money. The new method may be the best, but we think the proper thing to do is to have a system so plain that 1 every taxpayer can see for himself the name of every individual- who draws a cent of his money and for what purpose it is paid. A New Reason for the Divorce Evil Dr. I riu, of Philadelphia, has joined the ranks of those who havejdound reasons for the divorce evil. I'he strange thifjA about his discovery, or at least, the cause he advances, is that it is exactly opposite from the generally accepted cause. He says "higer morals are the chief cause." People generally have thought low morals were the i hief cause. The laws have recognized low morals as a basis or grounds for divorce. The |M>int made by Dr. Fritz is that the husband j or wife who regards morals in the highest sense will draw the line on immorality and demand divorce from the immoral; and he may be right to some extent. Yet he a hard time proving whether we have a higher code of morals today than we had a hundred years ago. It is a question of grave doubt. One fact we have to face is that the sections of ' the country with the admittedly lowest morals grant the most divorces. Another thing, that the husband or wife need not fear a divorce suit on high moral grounds. High Price of Railroad Stock I'he high price of railroad stock has been regarded as a mystery for some time, and is one that the aver age little man can not understand. It would seem that with the motor industry growth and the return of water transportation that the rail roads' outlook would be bad, and that it would re flect itself in the of railroad stock. The claim of the railroads generally is a diminish ing business, which they use as an argument for cut ting down train service. With the hauling cost by water from three to twenty times cheaper than rail, it will be hard for the railroads to ever stifle water transportation as they once did, because the ufe of the water is being rapidly increased and will remain so, in that territory which can be reached by water. Some suggest that the railroads are making stock customers of the small and qnsuspecting investor, who may soon own the railroads if they prove a bad thing, j land and the line of T.
