Sun Publishing Co., Inc. ■ Selma, N. C. SUBSCRIPTION One Year $1.00; 6 Months 50c Entered as second-class matter July 4, 1929, at the post office at Belma, N. C. under the Act 'd March 3, 1879. DEMOCRATS SUFFER AT HANDS OF MACHINE As a result of the large vote polled for R. H. Richard son-in the Democratic primary on June 4th up in Wilders township, it now seems evident that some of the Democrats are agreed with the repeated assertions of the Republicans, that those Wilders Democrats Iiave a way of securing votes and counting votes that is shamefully coi'rupt. The same weapons which were used to defeat the Republicans in that township on numerous occas ions in the past seem to have been used on some of the Democratic aspirants in the re cent primary. We got our au thority this statement from Democr^ic sources, and not from hny defeated candidate either. Certain Democrats in Wild ers township have a way of se curing an alarmingly great number of absentee ballots on the day of election, and it has been alleged on former occas ions that they actually crossed the border line and brought voters out of Wake county and voted them in that township. It is only a question as to how long honest, truthful, pa triotic, liberty-loving Demo crats or Republicans are wil ling to submit to such treat ment at the hands of a few political crooks. Whenever the honest people of the county and State come to the front and demand honest elections they can get them and not un til then, for the dishonest ele ment is neither going to de mand an honest deal or give an honest deal. It is up to the honest people to get their hon est due, and they should come to the front on election day and demand fair play. The writer was a poll hold er at the recent primary held in Selma, and he is willing to say without hesitation that the conduct of the, recent primary election in Selma township was carried out with as much fair- ’ hes'S to fill parties concerned as any election we ever witnessed here or elsewhere. While we had workers who were enthu siastic for their favorite candi- "dates, tile game was played on the square, or at least as near ly so as it has been our pleas ure to witness in a long time. We had no political axe to grind in the matter of how the Democrats voted 'in their primary, but we were pleased to witness a square deal. We have always stood for a square deal for both Democrats and Republicans, and we can’t help but have much respect and the highest of regards for those Democrats or Republi- '^ans who l^lpy tlic political game on the Square. We do not mean to lie handing Selma 'people bduquets lust because we live in Selma, but when we take into consideration the number of voters in this town ship, and with the heated po litical contests from time to time, we must say that Selma is about as - clean a town po etically as we have ever seen. General Daws says that he is not a candidate for the Vice Presidential nomination before the Republican Natiopal con vention now being held in the city of Chicago, and'that he hopes his friends will not em barrass him by their support. Frank D. Grist, defeated Democratic candidate for Unit ed States senate, now declares himself in favor of Cam Mor rison. When it comes to the consideration of the bonus question, We have had a hesitancy to even give an expression, Because we have no doubt that the boys’ needs are great. And seventeen more years is quite a long time to wait. But then there are others whose interests are at stake. When we consider the amount of money it’s going to take. Two billion dollars is certainly not a measley little sum. And the government couldn’t replace' it in years to come. If the government had the money, it’d be a different thing, But they’ve been at work on the budget all this spring— They have increased taxes and cut out operating expense, And yet the government deficit is something immense. The country’s best brain was employed on this great task. With a hope that the veterans would not another bonus ask; Since they were granted a big loan about one year ago. It looks like our government should have a little show. Congressmen are being asked to use their political pull, To have the government pay up these veterans in full. Just what will be done, of course, is yet to be seen. But two billions of dollars is a big pile of long green. So big, in fact, that we cannot conceive as to its size, And if placed in a single stack would reach to the skies. With the treasury empty and daily falling further behind. It looks like poor patriotism to press a move of this kind. They favor selling bonds so they can be paid any how. But bonded indebtedness is mostly what ails us now. They don’t seem to consider the government going in debt. But if they can get theirs, then the government can sweat. This does not apply to every fellow who went off to war. Because money was not all that they were fighting for; They loved their homes, their country and its grand old flag. And didn’t aim that its stripes in the dust should drag. - These are the boys wbo are loyal until this very day— More interested in their country than they are their pay. Such a spirit we should all most reverently cherish. Lest our patriotism should die and our country perish. . the Democratic State conven tion between the wet and the dry forces in party ranks, and many who supported A1 Smith, a dripping wet, in 1928, now are lining up against Bob Rey nolds, a modification candidate, who led Cam Morrison in the recent primary by 15,000 votes majority. This would indicate that the Democratic machine in North Carolina is capable to be reversed to run in any di rection when the right forces are at the steering wheel. Ex-Senator Simmons comes out with the announcement that he is for the nomination of Cam Morrison for United States senator, which would indicate that the veteran Sen ator’s age is telling on him. The political trend among Democrats in North Carolina is showing up largely in favor of nominating Franklin D. Roose velt for the Presidency, which seema to indicate that the Democratic politicians are wil ling for a dry candidate to help make the laws and then de pend upon a “wet” to inforce them. In the Chocowinity section, near Washington, N. C., this week, when triplets were born to Mrs. Ernest Hardison, it was found that there was only clothing prepared for one, and this called for speedy action to secure raiment for the other tW'O. “IF I got constipated, * I would get dizzy and have swdmming In my head. I would have very severe headache. “For a while I thought I wouldn’t take anything—may be I could wear out the headaches; but I found they were wearing me out. “I found Black- Draught would re lieve this,- so when I have the very first symptoms, I take Black-Draught and now I don’t have the headache. “I am a firm be liever in Black- Draught, and after using it 20 or more years, I am satisfied to continue its use.” fp.

Vc Recorder’s Court Has Busy Session .-1 President Ploover has been represented as favoring having injected into the National Re publican platform a plank fav oring a re-submission . of the Eighteenth Amepdipent^ to vote of th& people, but tnat he bitterly opposes making a rec ommendation that this amend ment be repealed. _ - in the national Republican par ty was, present. He named a number of promient figures jn the audience, and described it as one of the greatest gather ings of prominent figures, both men and women, ever to be assembled in this country. The Raleigh Times was for the nomination of' Bob Rey nolds on the day of the prima ry, but as soon as it was ev ident that Bob had made a long jump and had outdistanc ed all his opponents, then the Times flops, over night, and said it had supported Reynolds as a joke. A mighty poor ex cuse for changing its attitude, but we suspect it was about the best could be done under the circumstances. We have had at least one man to tell us that he w'as so, disgusted at the Times’ attempted explana tion for its change in attitude that he did not care to read The Time any more. Primitive Bkptist . ^ Appointments We have been reciuested to an nounce the following preaching ap pointment'^ : Elder Golston, of Tennessee, will preach at the following times and places: Tuesday after the Third Sunday in June—at Little Flock Church. Wednesday—At Fellowship (Court House). Thursday—At Cleveland. Friday—At Salem. Saturday and Fourth Sunday—At Four Oaks. Elder J. R. Wilson, of Danville, 'Va., and Elder Gol.^ton, Monday nite after the Fourth Sunday—At Angler. 'Tuesday—At Coats. Wednesday—At Rehoboth. Wednesday Nite—At Smithfield. Thur.sday—At Four Oaks. Thursday Nite—At Ben.son. High taxes have throttled in dustrial development in England. They have done the same thing in Germany, in Austria, in Australia and elsewhere.' They are 'doing the same thing here. High taxes make and prolong unemployment, cause hoarding of capital and frighten in- ve.«tors. In short, their whole influ ence is toward the prolongation of depression. W^ashington news dispatches said Tuesday that there were 20,000 World War veterans as sembled in Washington, and that with the-deluge of ram and food supplies diminishing, 'conditions were becoming rath er alarming. Sanitary condi tions were said to be bad in and about the emcampraent. Forces now seem to be lin ing up for a battle royal in The News and Observer is very liberal with its space^ in an effort to brand North Car olina Republicans as a mere handful of federal office hold ers who are ready subjects to the pop-lash of the bosses; but it is silent in seven langTiages when it comes to talking about how, at this very moment. Democratic office holders m North Carolina are falling in line to the tune of Administra tion leaders in order to retain Cameron Morrison in the Unit ed States Senate because he is a Ring politician. Senator Lester J. Dickinson, of Iowa, delivered the key-note address to the Republican Na tional convention in the great stadium at Chicago at noon Tuesday, his audience number ing more than 20,000 people. It was announced from the Chicago stadium where the Re publican National convention was being held Tuesday, said that the personnel of the con vention was unlike most prior conventions of its kind, in that besides the regular delegates, practically all the noted men Death of Willie Adams Smithfield, Jurte 15.—Mi-. Willie Adams, a farmer, 29 years of age, who made his home near Four Oak.s, died June 8th, at his home. The burial took place at Juniper Church near Four Oaks, on June 9. Colored Man Is Found Dead Near Smithfield Charlie Sanders, a colored farm er, age 33, who had been farming with Mr. Harris Robinson, of near Smithfield, was found, dead on June 8th. He was the son of Frank San ders, a farmer of that section. HOW TO BRING BACK GOOD TIMES Nothing could do more to bring- back good times than assurance of a decrease in taxes during the next few years. ■ Every effort should be made to increase governmental efficiency, eliminate waste and duplication of effort and do away with the bureaus and commissions that milk the tax payer dry. ■ Doing this would not damage the functions of government it would greatly improve them.
