ALS PRESENCE STIRS UP IDEAS ABOUT POLITICS Governor of New York Merely at Festive Board of President Casually and Socially, of Course CONTRAST IS KEEN No Two Men in Politics Could Have Won Snecess . by Paths More Dissimilar ? Ulan Smith and Coolidge By DAVID LAWRKNIK lUMfmtl IM Of TIM AlNMI Paul Smith's New York. July 17. Casual. social meeting to be sure and nothing political, of course, hut nevertheless the presence of Governor A1 Smith of New York at the festive bosrd of President Coolldge stirs up thoughts mostly Of politics. The New York governor has se vere things to say about the econ omy programs of the Coolldge ad ministration and he knows some thing about the argument from an admlnlatratlve baals In the Empire State, but Ifr. Coolldge harbors no resentment. He had really looked forward to the meeting wtth New York's popular gover nor. For no two men In politics can be said to have won aucceaa by paths more dlaalmllar. Governor gmlth has a rare per gonal magnetism, a fetching way that draws the crowds ttf him, and keeps them there in campaign af ter campaign. Mr. Coolldge has succeeded by having the opportun ity to perform outstanding taaks in governmental administration at the paycbologlcal moment. The Contrast, leaving party aside, Is somewhat akin to that which ex isted In the caae of Wood row Wil son and Theodore Roooevelt. The latter was of the popular type who developed among hla follow ers Aa enthusiasm that bordered on the fanatical. It was genuine and wbole-eouled. The people who followed Woodrojr WHson Were, on Ue other fcaafl, bound to him because of the power and force of hla utterances and hla pronounce ments or policy. Al Smith la of the Roosevelt ivne. President Coolldge while ^vn aggressive or controversial ^nJefers to await the calm verdict the voters on large achieve ments of public policy. The New York Governor has a record of performance to which Is rarely equalled but aa a vote-getter he depends on the personal equation. Mr. Coolldge. on the other hand, does not make votes on the Stump. Campaign managers have always urged few speeches for Mr. Qoolldge. These differences In the two ten may never be placed before American people In a competi tive sense though there are enough Democrats who would like to see Al Smith the Democratic nominee notwithstanding the fchtodleaps that have been pre viously suggested. But the Dem ocratic party la hardly in a har monious frame of mind Just now either on candidates or Issue so It la Idle to forecast that Al Smith or anybody else now being men tioned will be the 1928 candidate. As for Mr. Coolldge, he Is as threwd a politician as ever sat in the White House. He omita noth ing to show the people of New fork that he too haa a personal fondness for Al Smith. And that's true. As for Al Smith's party or hla candidacy that's another ques tion on which Mr. Coolidge'a opin ions are not forthcoming now be rsuse he haa not himself by word or deed entered the 1928 race. Two outstanding citisens, both of humble parentage and In every tense aelf-made, have reached In America the high points of polltl I careers. To be elected Gover r of the most populous state In Union three tlmea when that m is normally Republican and to carry it against President Cal vin Coolldge when the latter bad* as big a plurality as had been roiled up In many generatlona In the electoral college la no small sccorapllshment In American poll tine. Rivals, yee, in politico, but friends, too ? thla characteristic of American public life was never better exemplified than by the eventa of today. SONNER TO BR TRIED BY THE GREAT JUDGE Tryon, N.

"I*. J II Thayer, assisted by Mm. I t'ayer and a wore of helpers. The exercise* opened with the slnKlnj; ?r the "Quiet Sonk." writ ten for i lie school by Dr. Thayer. This sons was followed by prayer, and then came the salute to the| American flag and the singing of America": the salute to the Christian flar and the singing ??r "Onward Christian Soldiers- the saint., to the Bible, and t?i. lnu of "The Bible." Then separating ftie school Into ? he three departments, as the chil dren have worked through the four weeks, tlio Beginnern' Depart ment pave its program, followed by the Primary Department, and then by. the Juniors. Tho little folks, all under Hctiool age. recited "The |.ord Is My Shepherd." and sang "Cod I#ovos the Little Children. "Jesus In Our He?t Friend." Jesus U>v*s Me." and similar songs. They also gave the salute to the American and Christ Ian flags. The Primary Department began with the Twenty Third Psalm, but also recited the One Hundredth Pnalm. named the books of the Bible, and answered promptly the many questions asked them by their teacher about the Bible. The Juniors recited the Twenty Third and the First Psalms, and ?a?)K a number of songs. Including Martin Luther's hymn "A Mighty Fortress is our Lord." It was peril, ularly Interesting to hear boys and girls sing this stately and jxerlouB old hymu, and apparently 'njoy singing It. They did not drag it. hut neither did they try ,lo Jazz It. ? and this in a day when practically everything is alleged to be Jazzed by the time young. Am ericans get through with It. The Juniors also sang a song which i they made up by themselves and for themselves while on one of their Friday afternoon outings. The tune was "Tlpperary" and 'lie song began "It s a Short Way to D.

At the close. It was suggested by one member of the audlonce thnt ev erybody stand and give Dr. Thayer a rising vote of thanks for his ex re lent work In the Dally Vacation Bible School, and the response was instant and enthusiastic. The program ended, the way was led to tho class rooms where ?he arts and craft* were on exhib it. This, after all. was one of the best parts of the evening. It was generally declared. There were most attractive sand tables, upon which reposed the tents and palm trees of the Kastern countries, or the odd Kastern houses with "[airways running up on the out ride of the house, and with flat roofs ihai provided another story to the house for various purposes, ail or these made from paper, and Rome of them colored with cray ons.

Dr. (irteoiy'n subject [was: "Pot llcker."

I The Rev. K. W. Prevost in pastor {of the church. | Dr. Teiupleunon Mated that the 'present initio building of Corinth Church originally was the First I llaptlst Church, In tilisabeth City, ! having been moved to its preiteiit 'site In 1K89, when the brick church of Hie Pint BiplM Con Kre^atlou ?um built. The Corinth Suuday School, he added, wan thoroughly tlepu rtnientallzi d, and ; us evidence of the IntereHt taken | in the work there, he declared ho found 1 !? 7 persons in atteuduuce ;at the Suuday school last Sunday. ! "Corinth Church stands unus ually high in the misHions and .'benevolences of the . church," tltu speaker declared, "largely because of the exceptionally high lutein gence of the people of the C??r , in th section. This church Is do j lug more for the Kingdom of Cod today than all four rural llaptlst churches iu the County were do ling ten years ago. ; "Out here, they have everything we'v?- got lu the city, except gas. And they can go to church on Sun day, and get that." In conclusion. Dr. Templeman stated that Corinth was about to build an annex to the church, and that when it was completed. It would be out of debt. He de scribed the church as a shining example of the development going 'on throughout the country. 1 Called upon to define pot llcker and tell why lie liked It, Dr. Greg ory measured up nobly to the oc casion. lis begun by stating thai, before the war, when a slave be came sick, only two remedies were used before the patient's life was despair** of. The lirst dose, he said, waa two heaping table spoons of Kpsom sails. If that failed to cure, the patient was glv '?n about a quart of pot llcker. If that railed, there was only the | grave. "All up to date physiclami pre scribe pot llcker for persons who iliave been operated on for appen dicitis nowadays," Dr. On-gory continued. "I think lliey are go lug to insert It In the medical pharmacopeia on account of Its I lubricating effects. Itight here and now. I want to urge every body present who knows pot lick |er, and likes pot llcker, to k<ep 1 up Hie pot llcker habit." ? At Hie close of Dr. Gregory's (dissertation. Dr. C. H. William* moved that the Klwanlans adopt ? pot llcker as the National drink, and John Hall added an amend iiieut directing that Wayne II. Wheeler be wired to that effect. Motion and amendmeut were (passed unanimously. Early in the evening, W. Ren Ooodwln, Dr. Claude William*, Claude itallard, R. T Venn r ??. K<l I Burgess and W. H.

When the six had offered their sugges tions, the club was asked to de cide the wlnuer. The voting, how ever, waa desultory, and finally the prise was awarded to Bob Taylor. It consisted of a "hand tome" bouquet surmounted by a huge potato. In conclualon.
