He will dedi cate his splendid talents to the serv ice of his native state. Today this representative assembly of the First | District Democracy acclaims him as "Sixteen years ago our Sovereign Democracy of the historic First Dis r trie* placed its banner in the hands nf tffr^orillmnt, gallant, steadfast and worthy son of North Carolina as has ever stood as the representative of a fret constituancy in the National j Hous< of Representatives With a distinguished background, noble son [of a noble father, equipped by edu cation and training, experienced in! both branches of the State Legisla-1 tun*, wise in council. briHiant in de ; bate and with mental equipment and I temperament, character and cour age of the kind needed for leader ship in a parliamentary body. Lind say Warren entered national politi j cal life as the possessor of those at i tributes of leadership and statesman ship. that pointed unerringly to a; position of eminence in the councils t of the party and the nation. The dream of his most ardent admirers hand enthusiastic partisans have been more than fulfilled in sixteen years of diligent and faithful service in a crucial period of American history. . ilix flfviitw>11 In North Carolina i*L such that every fibre of his being; thrills at tin mention of her name. I It was as natural for him to devote i his talents, his energy and wisdom to the service of his native state and district as it was for him to breathe. We have sat together at the same council tables of democracy, fought side by side on the same battlefronts of democracy, and have followed to gether the same battle flag of dem ocracy. When the regularly consti tuted representatives of the Demo cratic party, acting under the laws of North Carolina, and the Democratic plan of organization, made me the duly accredited and regularly nom mated candidate for Congress I ac cepted the nomination with a sense of humility but with a profound feel ing of dedication. In placing the standard of the First District Dem ocracy in my hands, in naming me as the successor of my cherished friend, your eminent congressman, whose services to his district and state and country, have placed him in the first rank of contemporary statesmen, and in giving me this opportunity for public service, you have placed upon my soul a debt of infinite and untying gratitude, which 1 shall only hope to requite by bearing your standard unsulled to victory, and by dedicating my self to the diligent and faithful serv ice of this great North Carolina con stituancy. To that victory and that service I pledge myself today. Can anyone here recall any good that came during the days of Re publican rule in North Carolina Did it leave any ijionuments recalling good, honest, clean government, that can b* pointed to with pride?No? the history made by the Republican party in North Carolina is best for got. On the other hand the history of Democratic party is one of forward marching, always striving for a more abundant lifatand happier environ ment Our schools, our roads, our institutions for the blind, and afflict ed. and many other benefits we en joy an all founded and perpetuated by the Democratic leadership of North Carolina and will continue in accordance with the standard of the day. under the party now in power. With respect to our national affairs ?we only have to refresh your mem ory during the past seven and a half years, for prior to that, under the leadership orTTerbert Hoover what did you enjoy? Poverty, misery and distress. You recall the Hoover carts. If you didn't ride in one, you were extremely fortunate I know of h?n dreds of men who rode in them, and now under Franklin D. Roosevelt, are riding in comfort. The very peo ple who term themselves Willkie Democrats were the first to rush to Washington City, crying to Roose velt to serve them and he did. "But. sad to say. they have forgot ten. Who were they? The bankers, the bondholders and stockholders. Then what did he do? He cleaned up the banks ? refinanced them through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and they are now well. But he also made secure your small bank accounts through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Through WPA and PWA, thousands of honorable and worthy men and women have been saved. "Also through the Civilian Con servation <3orps, young boys have been properly occupied and given useful employment and training.; Home Owners' Loan and Federal Housing Administration, Rural Elec trification. National Youth Admin istration; Farm Security Program? Peanut stabilization, cotton and to bacco All of these, the Republican nominee for the Presidency, praises. Tin raging that Willkie received on his recent visit to the Northwest was bad. But he had been egged on at Philadelphia by the monied and selfish Interests. His greatest egg ing will come on November 5th when Franklin D. Roosevelt returns him to the presidency of the Common wealth and Southern.** Ofteninfi* for Younfi Men In Civil Service In connection with the National MmiN Program, the I)nited States Civil Service has announced exami nations to (ill the positions of bor der patrolman, safety instructor and junior pharmacist. The salaries range from 11,800 to $2,000 a year Applications should be filed with F. E Wynne, secretary of the Civil Service, Willtamston, immediately. Woman's Club In Wednesday Meet The Woman's Club met Wednes ' day with a good representation of I the members present After sing ing "God Bless America," a short business session was held. The club voted to invite the clubs of the dis trict to hold their annual meeting here next year. Upon request of Mr. Hix. superintendent of the schools, 25 dollars was donated to -the ftmd necessary to revive the or ganization of the Williamston High School band. Then plans for the improvement of the cemetery were shown and tliey greatly pleased the | members of the club who have been ! interested in its improvement so long. The only suggestion that the women had to offer was to add the older section to the cemetery to the j project. The committee was asked to see the town fathers in regard to this as this could be done without much expense. Miss Sleeper, chairman of the American Home Department, was in charge of the program and she presented Mr Sam Nash, of Tar boro, who gave a lecture on the cul ture of azaleas and camelia japoni cas. His talk on the subject was prac tical and instructive to those inter ested in these beautiful plants. Volunteers Called To Aid Registrars In Handling Tasks (Continued from page one) offer assistance are urged to get in touch with Chief Registrars S. H Grimes or O S. Anderson. The registrations will be handled in the American Legion hut on Watts Street here, just back of the County Agricultural building. Young men in the specified age group will reg ister there from both the No. 1 and No. 2 WiiiiamstOn precincts, it was announced today. No definite plans have been agreed upon, but it is possible that a "fly ing squadron" will consider han dling registrations on the premises of the several industrial plants here. These arrangements will be advanc ed or rejected at the direction of the plant operators and at the discretion of the draft registration authorities. It will be possible, it was pointed out, to handle the registrations at each plant in less than an hour. If the registration is handled for the mill workers off the premises it might be necessary to close down the plahts for the dav. In an effort to handle the regis trations as rapidly as possible, sev eral registrars are gathering scales to weigh and yard sticks for deter mining heights of the registrants as they enter the places of registration. Two persons will be assigned to that task, and they will give the regis trant his weight and height on a slip of paper which will materially aid the registration work. Uncle Sam. judging from rules and regulations placed in the hands of the chairman of the Martin County Board of Elections, meant business when he called for a registration of all men 21 years of age on through 35 years on Wednesday of next week. The rules and regulations gov erning the registration are applica ble to the registration officials and others charged with administering provisions of the act as well as the young men falling into the age group. "Any person charged with the duty of carrying out any of the provisions of the act. or the rules and regula tions made or directions given under the act who knowingly makes im proper, false or incorroct regis trac tions or who counsels improper claSSP ifications shall, upon conviction, be punished by imprisonment for not more than five years or a fine of $10. 000 or by both," reads in substance a paragraph from the Selective Serv ice Regulations. .All men between 21-35 years of age, inclusive, are to report for registra tion in their respective precincts or at the nearest place of registrations should they be away from home. Any man falling in the specified age group and who is sick shall send a relative to the place of registration. The relative will be deputized, hand ed a card and he will return to the sick man, fill in the necessary in formation and return the card to the place of registration. If the pa tient is too ill to register he will re port to the local draft board as soon as he is able. Registrars are warned to be pa tient and refrain from argument. The registration of each man should average about twenty minutes. Cotton Farmers Are Getting More Checks Cotton price adjustment payments were pushed to a total of $20,763.22 for Martin County farmers this week when 48 additional checks amount ing to $587.83 were delivered to the owners who had cooperated in the AAA soil conservation program. It is estimated that four-fifths of the cotton price adjustment pay ments have been made in this coun ty, that the total will possibly ex ceed $25,000. Approximately 200 ap plications for payments are now be fore the Washington office of the Agricultural Adjustment Adminis tration and more checks are expect ed in the county within a short time. a?? Mr. and Mrs. Pettigrew, of Wake Forest, viisted here today. Urgent calls are being made for men experienced in the mechanical field These jobs pay as much as $2,600 a year.
