BULLUC'K Assistant Editor AdTertising rates reasonable, and furnished to pros pective advertisers 011 request Publication Office: Second Floor Daniels Building, Rocky Mount, Edgecombe County, North Carolina SOUNDS MORE LIKE DICTATORSHIP Williamston Enterprise For weeks the politicians were firing their gups for the November election, the Demo cratsi talking about democracy and upbraid ing the Republicans. The Republicans did not have so much to bray about in the way of accomplishments but it talked long and hard about what the Democrats had done After hearing much about true Democra cy, one naturally turns to see the practical S-IT s , tran «e thing. A look into the Eighth North Carolina Congressional Dis trict reflects something that looks more like dictatorship than democracy. Jumping across the Seventh, one finds a few men naming the man for Congress from the Sixth Dis trict. Legal, probably so, but the activi ties are hardly characteristic of that de mocracy so loudly procliamed on the stump throughout the land just a few days ago. LEAVES A SCAR The Williamston Enterprise A nominee for Congress in the Eighth District has been finally selected, ending a long quarrel and offering a lesson for those who preach a true democracy. The quarrel leaves a scar one that the next democratic legislature should try to hide forever with a type of legislation that will cast out frau- State Practices at the polls throughout the MR. BAILEY, MR. ICKES, MR. HOOVER The Williamston Enterprise All this quarrelling between Mr. Ickes secretary of the Department of Interior, and Josiah Bailey, North Carolinas' senior sen ator, is a bit confusing. Ickes may be wrong, but one thing is certain and that is Mr Bai ley is arguing more from the side of Mr Hoover, the onetime standard bearer of ttfe nfTfc n an part -Y> than is from the side of the Democratic party. Mr. Ickes charges that our Mr. Bailey has been conspiring with Mr. Hoover for the presidential nomination on a Republican pat tern That s hard to believe, for more au thoratiye sources maintain that even the Republicans would not have Mr. Bailey. It Mr. Bailey has been conferring with Mr. Hoover probably he was getting a few more tacts about the Hoover cart, a vehicle tha 1 was frequently mentioned by the Senator when he was speaking in Martin County for \? v p. if"' ' e u a V° ther day comin &» a"d „ r - Bailey is probably conferring with Mr Hoover as to the prospects for a new Hoover cart model. THE LOCAL TELEPHONE SERVICE Scotland Neck Commonwealth Not even the courteous and efficient sei - vice rendered by Mrs. Martha Herring for the telephone company can blind the eyes of the citizens of Sctoland Neck to the exaspe ratingly inefficient service rendered by the Carolina Telt-phone and Telegraph company in this community. If the service in gener al measured up the- standard set by Mrs Herring, it would be excellent beyond com- P B "® o "—;but, unfortunately, it does not. There is scarcely a week, it seems, when ! the wires are not all jazzed up, scores of phones are-out of order or something has : happened to render transmission weak and ottentimes unintelligible. If there were tre ! mendous storms, the citizenship would un derstand, but on the clearest days the entire 1 system seems to haywire sometimes. \] Citizens declare that before the dial sys-i tem was installed here as an economy move the service was good. Now, the telt-1' phone company is profiting by use of dial j ] FLOATING THEATRE SINKS IN ROANOKE, BELOW JAMESVILLE A sizeable hole torn through i;s 6ow, the Original Floating Theatre went to the bottom of the Roanoke River, about five miles below Jamei ville early Sunday morning. No one was injured, the crew and cast of 32 persons scampering to safety on lop of the large boat as two tugs pushed it to a mud flat on the south aide of the river. The boat, s>hedul ed to dock in Williamston all thfj week, went down in about thirteen feet of water, leaving the after deck and roqf of the theatre a few feet above the water liae. "We were traveling up the riv->r tery smoothly when the boat struck a submerged log in midstream and 6cr of the crew said. ''Sensing the •tarted listing immediately," a mem-; danger, the tug boat captains immi system, and apparently is giving littie thought to the demands of patrons. A few months ago the Kiwanis club protested vig orously in the name of the community, but the protest availed nothing. It seems to us that if the Carolina Tele phone and Telegraph company is not mind ed to give decent service in this community, the time has come to protest vigorously to the State Utilities Commission, which is sup posed to see -that these public service cor -1 porations function efficiently. WAR FROM MARS The other night the Columbia Broadcast ing Company put o na skit taken from an H. G. Wells book. The gist of the actien was that the United States was being at tacked by enemies from the nearest four planet neighbors. The actors made it very Realistic, it seems, and quite a goodly num ber of people were scared nearly out of their wits. Now representations are being made to I the Communications Commission to punish Columbia for this realistic broadcast. We I doubt if the company will be seriously pena lized. It has been shown that at frequeit : intervals an announcer stated that the skit ! was purely fictional. Thereby might hang a long train of thought for the advertiser who uses rad ; o. The American public, along with the rest oi the world, listens carelessly. Hardly is possible to get two people to correctly re port even a short conversation or radio an nouncement unless record is made. That, as we see it from our more or less biased point, is the weakness of radio. Radio officials might well reply that the public also reads very carelessly. Granted. But if little Johnie asks sister Betty what was the name of the picture the radio man said was to be at the Whoisit Theatre to night, and neither can remember, that is just too bad. However, if Johnie has been equally careless in reading an announcement in the paper he merely gets the paper a.id looks it up. 1 lie weakness of all such advertising is that the impression is fleeting, and even when the attention has been caught the in terested customer cannot return to the id, I aftei reading the other six or seven pages, and sees just what it was that Brown and Company had advertised at such remark ably low prices. Radio and moving picture 1 advertising is necessarily a series of fleeting impressions,—the newspapers make a record to which reference can be made. SHALL WE INVITE THEIR MAJESTIES It has been suggested that the King and Queen of England be invited to attend the banfrancisco and New York expositions, to fiu d " ring ? 9;W " And certainly, a visit ot Their Majesties to this country would oe a splendid gesture to a troubled world, illus trating as it would the firm friendship that exists between the two great English speak ing democracies. Furthermore, there is plenty of past pre cedent for such an invitation, and for its acceptance as well. The King and Queen l ecently paid a state visit to France, anoth or of England's old friends and allies. And President Roosevelt, though he has not gone abroad since becoming Chief Executive, has visited South America and Canada in fur thering his "good neighbor" policy. When the head of a major nation goes to a for eign land, sees and is seen by its people, the immensely important cause of better inter national understanding is substantially fur thered. The invitation to th£ King and Queen ' should come not only from officials of this ' government, but from the public as well— i from editors in every section of the U. S.— who represent the millions of Americans who desire peace and friendship between nations. \ To these citizens, such a visit would not be i a mere formal expression of good will. It i would typify the genuine regard that exists 1 between the United States and the British j Empire. And next year, when untold num- i bers of people will go to New York and San i Francisco for the expositions, is the logical 1 time. diately dropped back to the side of Monday for their homes, some go ' the showboat and pushed her on the mud flat in about live minutes." s lie continued, explaining that meai a bers of the cast hardly had time t.ii i escape with their lives. Nothing wis . saved from the muddy waters, the i> show east and boat crews holding f to places on the roof, missing break i fast while food and canned goods s floated from the submerged kitcn i en. Several deserted the boat, out most of the players remained aboard 3 until Monday when they gathered to i getlier what personal effects they i could and made plans to leave i'>r t their homes scattered over nearly a dozen states. Monday morning, the players and L crew leisurely passed the hours I waiting developments, unofficial ft porta stating that the owner, Mrs. Nina Howard, of St. Michaels, Md., le-would possibly make fl" • THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALD. ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA f reopen the show this season. Soon after the boat went doivn, Mrs. Howard started making plans to salvage the theatre. A diver was employed in Norfolk Monday and salvage operations were scheduk-c to get underway Wednesday. Unof ficial estimates indicated that mora than $/j,OOO would be required to raise the boat and repair the dam age to the equipment. Efforts will be made to float the boat within a wee't, but a month or more will be requir ed for repairing the damage to equipment and stage scenery, it wan learned. Until the salvage operations are completed, there will be no sho v boat in existence, members of ha crew explaining that sunken property was the original and last boat of its kind in existence. The players started leaving late Tennessee, Virginia, New York, i ing as far away as lowa, others o C Maryland, New Jersey, Florida, In ■. Diana and still others to points ir t this State.
