The present line-up of new faces
In I ongress is a <1 ir?-?*t -eons?-quetice
of a negative Verdict?a dlssatlsfic
tion of things as they wer.e. The
mood of the electorate for the last
six year has been . 10 punish the
party in power. The Wilson ad
mlnisirtion was turned out in 1820
because of iritations due to the war
and the fact that a Republican Con
gress and a Der.tocratic president
were in perpetual deadlock. The
election of 19 22 saw an almost com
plete turnover from an overwhel
ming Republican majority in -nc
Senate and House to a slight major
ity. This wom In large part due 10
the fact that Congress accomplished
relatively little in the first two years
of tlie Harding administration.
The Democrats are confident the
country is 111-a punching mood and
that the next election will see the
pendulum swing completely in their
direction with a big working maj ?r
Jty. And at the same time they
admit privately their tenure will
lost just as long as I hey prove equal
to the public demand for a Congress
lhat will not waste lime but will do
something.
In many respects the problems
b? fore Congress are greater than
any that have faced the country
?ince ihe civil war. The ent:re
, bUtlnewM future of tin* American
people is t|e?l up in the legislative
program. Ami the presidential

only chance there is of Congress
ional response to public opinion is
in the manifestation j>y the' elec

friends are sure lie has shown his
willingness to do things but they
are wondering how niuch he miphi
suffer from a bad record by c.in
gress. In 1922 the friends of Mr.
Harding w. re quiie sure he was per
sonally popular but that Congress
was tiol popular wifli the < niiy
The same elements that contributed

The insurgents in the Republican
ranks have mni> Ihe task "f lead

country Isn i luieri-stni in excuses
but in performance. The r ink and
fi'e of the R? pulican membership is
aware <if this weakness and the
demands for a party caucus or con
ference on n< ally everything are
beginning to develop.
The Republican party is on 'rial -
ihe leader* know it but nobody has
as yet furnished a formula that will
make the party function smooth'v.
The spectacle of n Republican chair

admitting publicly that tnx revision

be accomplished unless six conserva

licans is not lellshed by the old
fashioned party men who remember
well how the Republican mach'ne
used to operate and how under sim
ilar circumstances the power of the
party to compel discipline and put
through administration measures
was unquestioned.
For six years the Republicans will
have been In control when the pres
ent Congress expires. When the
electorate votes In 1924 it will
choose a new Congress. Political
history furnishes abundant evidence
of the way things go when there is
a popular demand for leglnknion and
that demand isn't satisfied. There
are many Republicans who admit
privately that if tnx revision fails

Iii-tory ??f North Carolina countii ?,
Co in pi loci by I'nl. Kreil A. Olds ??f the
Si an* Historical Commission. was ni
on< of the, thirty counties forieed
before tin.* Revolution which arc still
ill ? ?x.istence, was enacted liy the Gen
eral Assembly in March, 1749, the
county being formed out of a portion
of Illadt-n county which the Legisla
turc held had become too extensive.
Tile Royal Governor of the Province
at the time was Gobriel Johnson and
Joseph White was named sheriff of
the new county until such time as
an election to fill the position could
be held.
"The new county." says Colonel
Olds in his History, "was named for.
Lord George Anson, a famous Kng-J
1 ish admlml and explorer, who
lived several years ill South Curo-j
lina. It was an enormous area, ex
tending from what is now LuiiiIm r
ton to the .Mississippi River, includ
ing what is now Tennessee. The
holding of court began October 'I,
175'w. and private houses were u* d
i for'this purpose until the first, court
Jiousc was built at Mount IMeasint
I in 1755. twelve miles from" wh- re
Wadesboro, the present county seat
is located. In 17S."?. New Town
was made the county seat and a log
bouse of large size, so built that two
streets passed under it, sheltered the
county officers ami court.
"The name of New Town W-is
changed in 17N7 to Wadesboro in
honor oi Colonel Thomas Wade, a
popular citizen. The quaint old
court house was used until ls:jo, the
go glimmering. They are beginning
to hope that Mr. Coolidge will be
strong enoujih to pull Congress
ilhrough?or. to put it another way,
that rhe llemcrals will nominate
u weak.candidate for the presidency.
The outstanding fact is that Con
gress is not getting anywhere and
shows ot the moment little sign of
arriving >it au agreement on aiiy
thfng. The hand writing o:i the
wall has been disclosed. Aft# r the
holiday recess, the Repuhlhan lead
ership will attempt to rally its forces
in a final attempt,to make a record.
