(In Newi and Observer.)
Ullington, Sept. S9.—Three thou
sand Harnett citixem and the pleaa.
ant voiced Clyde Hoey came to town
today, the former to osar the speech
and the latter to males it, and thay all
to oat of barbecue and picnic dinntci
spread out in a great warehouse. It
was a great day for everybody. Hoey
made a groat speech, o thousand Dc
n«r, and everything was altogether
satisfying, erpecislly to Count)'
Chairman Charles Ross, who hatted
shout 1,000 as the occasion'- general
manager.
It was the first time that the Shelby !
Congressman had >eeo In Lllllngton.
and and partaken of Harnett county
barbecue. It was the first time that
Harnett county's citlsenry had aeon
the youngest ef the State's represen
tative! In Washington. The meeting
was mutually pleasing. Hundreds
rushed upon the Congressman when
ha was done speaking and told him
what a grant speaker ha Is, and he
blaahlngfy thanked them. After din
ner It came his turn to deliver thanks
and the turn af the Democratic wo
men to blushlngly acknowledge hie
praises of their dlaner.
Te Warehouses FmH
It took both the team's tobacco
warabouaot, and both af them era
sizable buildings, to accommodate the
entire program. Hoot speko to as
many se coaid crowd Into one of
thorn, end nereis tbs street the wo
men wore busy fixing the dinner. Af
ter the spooking there was a brook
for tho second warehouse, and some
now records were established In dis
posing of 1,(00 pounds of barbecued
_^^£jfJuid^Udcalfj^M<^ora^hun
**1*m8T53TlKnflngsTP!9y,R?vff
rneri ef tbs South know how to fix.
A rain ladl night perhaps helped
measurably to swell the throng that
congested the town today. It was too
wet for farm work, and tbs farmers
for miles around came to town, bring
ing thmr wises and their daughters
with thorn. There were mere here
than could have been accommodated
within the warehouse during the
•peaking, and more than could get
into the other whsra the dinner war
served.
Hoey talked mostly shout the re
cord of his own party end the things
that It has done for North Carolina,
the Nation and tbs world. Ha save
the Republicans spans attention, and
then only to laugh at them. Not once
did ho denounce them bat when bo
ridiculed them—and there is ao finer
master uf this terrible weapon than
ho—his thousands of Barnett county
eittaanry rocked, in the ccsUcy uf
their d -light
Ridicules the Radicals
Time and time again he turned
aside from the main th-.oad of his
hour and a half of argument with
gentle chiding of the minority party
In the State, hot not until near the
end of the ipeoeb did he turn the full
power of denunciation against the
National erganisation seeking 10 em
asculate the League of Nations, and
bring tin- 70,000 American dead to
the low depth of tho millions of Get;
mans who rot ha the aoll of Franca.
He srornod them with tho biUerret
scorn, leaving his audleaes almost
darned with the force of hU attack.
Fiom the apeoeh everybody there
get sentences that they could taka
home with them and ponder over,
pioea together again, and weave Into
the whole fabric of the speaker's ut
terance again. It was as full af texts
•a a chapter cut out af tbs Bible, hut
pvikape the two outsaaadiug phrases
wore Harding’s morning prayer and
' the speaker’s, description of how well
the Republican nominee fits the plat
form.
The prayer, "Give nr this day my
dolly thoughts r This came aftat a
passage of ridicule of Ibo vaccination
af the Senator’s views on all issues.
Harding's Morning Prayer
Censing around to Harding and the
Republics* platform Hoey declared
that If Balding hud a single Idea ho ,
would be too Mg to stand an plot- I
form, and if tho platform bod a sin
gle ideal hi it, Harding would ho soj
little when he Rood on it that nobody,
would be able to And him. After each ■

against M. L Sykes, charged and
fousd guilty of being an accessory
to the crime of manufaeutring intox

claimed that ha eras merely a visitor

The Chisf Justice holds that the
mere presence of a man at the scene
»f a misdesd Is not necessarily proof
sf the contention that he is actually
a party to misdoing. In lha lowsr
court, the trial judge, William Shak-1

that even if they believed the defen
dant's contention they were not to
absolve him on those grounds. Hero
the chief justice pulls away from tha

Sykes was taken when a still was

guilty. ,
Quotation From Hamlet
The law quoted in the Clark opin

indicates clearly that the prosecution |

man to lust after her, hath commit

handed down yesterday by the court,
