Dr. T. W. M. Long, the other can
didate for the Senate, spoke next. In I
1 is opening remarks, he stated the
campaign for the Senate would be
an honorable contest between two
gentlemen. He said opponents to him
said he was no friend of the farmer
and pointed to his family ownership
oi an 8,000 acre farm to ask why he
hould not be a friend to the farmer.
He said he was for the full constitu
tional school term with reasonable
economy. He favored reduced salaries
and other economy. He said he would
hv guided in his actions by the will
uf the majority <>t the Democratic
party in the county, otherfise would
vote as his conscience dictated, re
gardless of ties of blood.
He said ho was onpesed in his own
home town because he would not vote
for the sales tax the last session of
the General Assembly, stating that
corporations had demanded the sales
tax which he opposed. Dr. long
questioned Mr. Norwood, who was in
the audience, as to his stand on the
luxury tax. and then, in a facetious
manner, attacked A. N. Martin, who

cerning Mr Martin’s stand ..11 the
sales tax last year.
It. Hunt Parker. Solicitor, made a
splendid sjH-ech calling for economy
by reducing salaries of every State
officer, including his own. pleading
for special privileges to none. R. II.
White of Hobgood made a short ef
fective talk.
Judge Tam Bowie, candidate for
U. S. Senate, was introduced by J. H.
Darden. Judge Bowie’s speech was an
attack on the Republican adminis
tration and Senator Cameron Mor
rison. He flouted the Republican
| claim that present conditions were bo
. yond human control, saying all mis
| takes are made by human beings and
not by Divine power. He said the gov
ernment fought revaluation at t h e
last session of the Assembly and Mor
rison approved it. And that Morrison
had approved the 15 cent tax on land.
He said Morrison had voted for the
moriatorium for Germany and against
;; similar plan for the farmers who
■ w.*d the Federal Land banks.
He charged Morrison with knowing
the advalorem on land would relieve
the tobacco and power companies in
both of which Morrison was a large
stockholder. He said a block of Rey
nolds tobacco stock worth $247 in
• * 15 was worth $4.14(5 in 1929.
He assailed the present tariff as
unfair to the farmer. He said the
tux system should be on property

1 here there is no tax on land, all tax
es being raised bv income and fran
chise taxes. Relieve real estate of

for credit and give the farmers a
reasonable price for the products of
the soil and prosperity will return,
concluded Mr. Bowie.

that the compromise settlement here

And the court is of the further
opinion and so find' that had the said
S M. Gary beer’ living, each item
with which his estate is charged in
said audit would have been explained
by him. and that the said items ap
pear as a charge against his estate
by reason of the failure of S. M.

evidence of moral turpitude on the
