"Trying to swing the South to A1 Smith," says a dispatch from the Democratic National Con vention headquarters. Maybe they'll do it, but we doubt it. Now everybody that tries to jshake hands with you is trying to squeeze yours first, because he has seen in the newspapers that the President shakes hands that way. Rather be a Boy Scout camp ing at Nags Head with Frank Scattergood this week than a Presidential candidate at tho Democratic convention, hadn't you? We understand that some thing is about to be done imme diately to fit up a playground for the children of the city this summer. Certainly it can't be done any too quickly, for June is almost gone. Every day we receive allur ing postcards from friends wl)o are vacationing, but while we rejoice with them, we can't get to the point of envying them, with the breeze coming straight into our sanctum off the Pasquo tank. The New England Yankees may hold out for a time in Rhode Island, but they'll have to yield at length to the foreign in vasion. And just here North Carolina might draw a lesson in regard to this business of colon icing Italians, Swedes and such in the Old North State. The News and Observer's new press, which spits out 72,000 copies of the Old Reliable an hour, must be a bit hard for the News and Observer pressmen to get the hang of. The print of the News and Observer since th? new press was Installed has seemed to us hardly up to the usual standard. Frank Simonds in today's ar ticle on the political situation in France and England come* mighty near forecasting a Dem ocratic victory at the polls in November?if the Democrats nominate a progressive. Carter Glass seems to us to fill the bill better than John Warren Davis ?if McAdoo can not be nomin ated. ON YOUR BIRTHDAY Send Your Mother Flower* RYAN FLORAL CO. Inc.

CANADIANS HAD BIG RUM SCHEME; ' But Government Investiga tion Found the Would-he Founders of Hum Armada Had Skipped Country. Montreal. June 23? ? The Eng lish baronet . who Raved his family fortunes and did much to assuago! the great American thirst, by organ-j Izing a huge rum syndicate .on a< stock selling basis, has a rival on the I American continent. Two rivals, in fact. They are Captain Archer and. William Matthewson of this city, founders and?so far at least?sole ; beneficiaries of the "Cooperative Al-I liance." Investigation initiated by the gov ernment brought to light the fact! that the Co-operative Alliance?ca ble address Copal?has been busy for more than six months assembling funds to Htart a great liquor armada to that no man's land off the United States coast known at "Rum now." "Copal" has It on the English bar onet at least two ways. In the first place, they are raising their funds from persons in the United States, who, since their Investment is Illeg al from the viewpoint of their coun try's laws, would have an awfully j hard time getting their Boney back j in a court of law. In the second .place, they are able to offer their 1 prospects a great lure in addition to ! the hundred per cent or so per [nwnth in monetary profits which the t British bart holds forth. That lure lis the free present to every American I investor of the name and address of i an American "agent" from whom "the real stuff can be obtained at cost once Copal's ships begin coming 1ln" Hundreds of ci l^ns of the Unit ed States?"wide awake business men. whose names have been given in confidence," the letters to them said?have been induced to Invest in the great rum running expedition. They were practically guaranteed profit* of 100 to 800 per cent every six months, as well as the privilege of buying in case lots right at home^ at cost prices. With such an offer one might ex pect the thirsty Americans to fall In shoalH for the offer. But surprising-1 ly. only about 600 have Joined the alliance since it opened shop. Per haps one reason Is that, despite their great thirst, the "wide awake busi ness men" of the I'nited States are not sufficiently parched to overlook this little detail: All subscriptions ? which may range in size from $20 to $20,000 must be sent In cash. Checks and money orders won't do. Circulars ?ent out by Copal describe the organization as a going concern,] and speak of profits of 800 per cent! that have been to member* on one shipment alone. Last month, the al liance claims to have paid $150 on' every 100 invested. Still, it seems, more money is needed, for letters still are going out and the member ship aoal Is set at two thousand? just four times the present enroll ment. But here's a little fly in the oint ment of the 500 who have already been enrolled in the secret member-j ship book, and of the 1500 others; who are contemplating joining. Since the government started its; investigation, neither Captain Archer nor Mr. Matthewson. nor eyen their i part-time stenographer, has been! seen around headquarters of the al-j liance. It may be that they are off on the bounding main with another cargo of I rum for the United States. And then ; again, it may be that they ar* Ju-t i off on the bounding main. The lat- : ter is the theory of the government agents. i this city, at the request of the Pitt j County Health Department officials, has issued an order to the police ; department that the anti-spitting law be rigidly enforced, it was stated at the office of the mayor. The ordinance hue been on the sta tue books of the city for a number of years, it was said, but never has officers charged with law enforce ; ment have become negligent, the | health officials claimed in their re quest to the mayor, and through this I carelessness endangering the lives of others through the possible spread of disease. A request for the co operation of the people has also been issued. .
