Harrison In the passing of Mr. Lovet B. Harrisor^fast Friday, this section lost a valuable citizen, a citizen who, in his unpretentious way, had will ingly advocated and supported the better things in life, making for a better community. I lis high ideals of citizenship were a stabilizing force for many in times of sfrC-ss, and his guid ing hand carrying succor and sympathy was graciously extended to the less fortunate in times of want and despair. His acts of kindness were not heralded before the public, but in the out-of-way places and in humble surroundings those thoughtful acts brought happiness and hope to hundreds. They are the ones, aside from his family and business, who. no doubt, will miss him most. L. B. Harrison, just as many others did, ex perienced hardships during his long years in the service of the public as a merchant, but he never lost confidence in his fellowman" and re gardless of how dark the present- he 'always looked to the future with a renewed hope, His words of encouragement and friendly advice proved u uleuciy 11 ltd- guiding force in the lives of many. An ideal husband and father, his home life reflected an ever increasing joy and happiness. In the church he was recognized as a pillar of strength, the teachings of his Maker being nobly expressed in his acts day by day. Life meant much to him because he put much in life. Although his passing may be considered untimely,-it marks the end of a life well lived and one that will continue to serve as a beacon for others to follow in the years that are to come Is There Harmony? The State Democratic Convention in Ral eign last week was described as the most har monious ever held in the State capital. It is difficult to believe that the old wounds of 1936 have healed. It is difficult to believe that there can be harmony and peace in the party itself when the official records and the daily press disclose the activities of leaders as being as different as the sun and moon and as far apart as the two poles. It strikes us that the Democratic feature of the convention was cast aside, and the leaders steam-rollered a smooth program before the 3,000 one-day vacationists. That the convention was little more than a farce is evidenced in the platform. The party of which Josiah Bailey is a mem ber endorsed the record of the national admin istration, but saved its face when it said, "We observe with pride the growing prestige of North Carolina's delegation in the National Congress," meaning, one guesses, that they turn and slap Mr. Bailey on the back and then turn and slap Bob Reynolds on the back. "We endorse," the platform continues, "the progressive record of the State government . . ." The MacDonaldites have changed a whale of a lot, or they did not trouble to mix with the crowd. The group scored with the public health plank, but got right back into the rut when it mentioned roads and highways. The major in terest allegedly shown in secondary roads was heartily approved, but the convention urged the completion of a scenic route.on a mountain top in western North Carolina. The convention is to be congratulated for not mentioning that memorial bridge across the Albemarle Sound when pointing out the wonderful road pro gram. Considerable boasting was attached to the labor question, but no mention was made of the fact that the same party in convention on Thursday, May -19, 1938, refused to ratify a na tionally proposed child labor amendment in the early part of 1937. The advertising program launched by the State last year was approved, but no mention was made of the quarter million dollars sunk in the program. The "rapid" progress made in prison reform was cited. State budgeting came in for brief considera tion, and the convention proudly pointed out that the progressive program is being carried on without any increase in tax burden. Not even a whisper was heard about repealing the sales tax. And they topped the document with a plank dealing with good will. A guiding force was ffclt everywhere in the convention. Under the Dome in Monday's News and Observer having the following to say: FTRM?The harmony that marked the State Democratic convention here last week was not the only noticeable characteristic. In fact, re sponsible for the harmonious proceedings was a firm, -confident guiding force whose presence was felt everywhere. Nowhere were signs of conflict. Troublemakers had evidently been taken care of in advance. Zeb Vance Turling ton of Iredell, who is seeking return to the House this year, apparently intent on renewing his dry campaign at which he was once suc cessful, was not even present at the convention, thus guaranteeing that he would not bring up the ever-controversial subject of liquor. Mc Donaldites, no doubt aware of the success of Governor Hoev'6 goodwill campaign during his administration, sought favor by remaining off the subject of sales tax. Not even the New Deal was allowed to stir up trouble,?as platform sues. So well did this "guiding force" have things under control that, after the luncheon recess only a handful of Democrats returned to hear the platform read. It was conceded by the great majority of conventionites that there would be nothing interesting, nothing vital, in this document, smoothly, harmlessly written. Here's How!

"My business is pretty fair, in fact better than up to last year this time," said a local business man Sat urday '"Corn likker has just enough al cohol in its to wash off whatever veneer of civilization we have got up to this time," remarked a church leader in this county Sunday, while talking with a group of neighbors in the churchyard. 'Well it's getting about time now for these young sprouts to begin tramping all over my fields again with their measuring lines and fig uring and mess, to see how many acres I got, like I didn't already know," remarked one of the old school farmers in lower Martin County the other day. Still another one said: "Some of our young crowd is going straight to the devil; while some others are going to work. The trouble with them is, they want to play all the time. They put too much of their time and faith in Standard Oil and not enough in the Water of Life . . . They burn the midnight oif*all right, but it's the kind that goes out the exhaust pipe."
