LEWIS ' ASHlNGTOr. Jn- 29. One of the sting- subjects one hears discuss Ither frequently by North Carolina who visit Washington nowadays i suggestion that the old custom alternating between the eastern western s etions of the' state In selection cf governor should fee arded next time. expressed and praotlcally unani- . vie,v of both eastern'and western b.,. without reirard to their! ,nrt to any particular candidate in last primary, Is that the old cus .l'miiM be adhered to, and to dis- ...d jt wcul l bring about unfortu-j 1' results hoih to the party and to' state. U is pointed put by these i iccrats that the custom has prevent- ! the creation of an eastern and a! tern faction; that geographical ions exist in many of the states be- ?e of the disregard of thjs custom, J that whentver this is so, the foal- 3 ot power possessed by one sec- j is too irequenny useu 10 perpetu ;he power f those who live In the I powerful nertion to the great det ent of the iarty and the best in st of the state Involved. Time Honored diatom is pointed out that many years . i ..it.i.i vciBu statesmen uu puuuiians in th Carolina, having the best Inter of the stat(! at heart, and in order prevent the development of geo pical factions in the state, settled, common consent, upon the whole e and just custom of alternating feen the east and the west in iglng a candidate for governor that custom has prevailed ever e. The same reasons are responsi for the unbroken custom of select one United States senator from the em and one from the western sec-T-ikewise. with the same paliat- and harmonious effect, the custom I ,-ai!s in respect to the selection or ices in the supreme court, pertinent fact, remembered by all locrats of the state, is that in 1908, ke Craig, then the idol of the west democracy, backed by a powerful uiization. made an unsuccessful at pt to break the custom in his con for the gubernatorial nomination i William V, Kichin. It is contend that it Is reasonably certain that Craig. would have won that year for the unanswerable argument iC by Mr. Kitchin and his support that the nomination of Craig, a tern man, in succession to Glenn, ther western man, would result "In iking faifh with th eastern dem racy, and the consequent abandon t of the wi.se and satisfactory pol so long In force. The Craig men, le admitting that the custom ex 1. sought to escape the effect of it hat campaign by stressing the fact : Craig was born and reared in the ; that he might be considered an em man, and that the rule should prevail against him. The argu ;t, however, was not effective, and Craig men subsequently admitted they were defeated because they d not successfully overcome the om. . Stacy-Ionic Contest he nomination of Judge Stacy over 2e Long in the second primary last mer Is only another illustration of fact that the custom has become a : of the settled political policy of state. One striking feanre of the rmination to adhere to this policy lat leading men both in the east and west are intent upon following the om next time. tose who oppose breaking the cus as to the governorship say that her section of the state would tol e the selection of both United es senators, or allj the- justices: of supreme court, from the other sec . They further contend that if the om is broken in the case of the ernorship, that there is no good on why it should be followed In selection of United States senators justices of the supreme court. The tare of the 1'emocratic party and of state itself, it is pointed out, is of more importance than the political unes or personal aspirations of any i or set of men. Many prominent mn from both the'N east ead the west declare that they are determined to ?i??f rt extern man next time and mat i their nnlninn tha . - .nw ,T0I.V11 AD pirants, now planning to get into the contest, should be wise, enough and ;oV enouh. to await tholr turn in It will be t interesting to watch the efforts now being made to create a sentiment in favor of disregarding the custom for the purpose of nominating anotherwefltern man to succeed the present governor, also from the west, in 1924. It seems rather early to bo starting the 1924 campaign, it is said, but evidently the discussion now going on as to the availability of a western man to succeed Morrison is likely to precipitate the contest much earlier than was expected; .

The ideograms, reading from right to left, give en old Chiaeae proverb, "Within the four seas all men are brothers." Gburches throughout the United States will observe Sunday, February 6, as "China Famine Sunday." The American Committee for China Famine Fund has sent telegrams to the executive ueaa of all church denominations urging a vast, concerted effort to raise enough money to check the death rate in the northern provinc.es. The funds subscribed wlil come as a New dear's gift to China, February 0 being the first day of the old Chinese new year season, known under the new calendar as the Spring Festival. The American Committee hopes to make China Famine Sunday the turning point m the fight against hunger which threatens 45.000,000 lives. Of enewe, 15,000.000 face certain death unless a great response comes from America. Clergymen will describe how the present American missionary work has placed this nation in the position of "big brother" to China and bow China looks first to us. The calamity, is the worst In history. Unless the starving people are helped until the next crop the political and economic life of the heart of China's agricultural district- will col lapse, and with tt will disappear the world's trade with China.

C JNTON MURDER CASE GROWING QUITE CLEAR E idence Developed Sheds New Light on Murder (Special to The Star) CLINTON, Jan. 20. A further, un- ra elingi of the evidence in the Ramey m rder case not only confirms the for m r evidence against Will Hopkins, the m n arrested in Ooldsboro but com pl tely involves Henry Metts, the man fii t arrested, as an accomplice. tonday of last week the body of R; mey was exhumed ar. the billet re cc 'ered and was found to bo a .38 in st ad of a steel .25 caliber, such as sli t by the gun secured by Hopkins fr m Metts on the night of the shoot in . ''he previous week, on the charge th 't a pistol had been seen in the pc. ket of Ed Oliver, a colored barber, oi the nisrht of the murder, Oliver's pr mises were searched and a very fir a pistol discovered in his overcoat pc ket in the barber shop. Oliver was bo and over Jto court under. a $200 bond fo carrying a concealed weapon. Ol iv r"s pistol was a .38, and as he Is the fa her of the girl on whom Metts had ca led on the evening of the shooting. Tv asday an attempt was made to get hi ii to acknowledge the loan of the pia to;, but to no avail. Consequently he w.' s arrested and thrown into jail, with th s consequence that a little later he sent for Mayor Grady and divulged the fact that he had loaned Metts the pis tol on the evening of the killing and hr.d been told later in the night by Metts that he could find it in a clump of bushes in front of the Ramey store. Oliver, according to his story, hung around the store that night till after the body was taken away andhe posse had sone off with the bloodhound, and then recovered the gun. As Hopkins had been identified as the slayer, and as tracks from the rear of the buildlnsr indicated that there was an accessory, the logical conclusion is that Hopkins did the killing with the Oliver pistol, while Metts awaited the result of the hold-up in. the rear of the store. Altogether, it seems that the net of evidence is practically complete. GARDNER MAKES A "WINNING APPEAL FOR THE CRIPPLED (Special to The Star) RA"LEIGH, Jan. 28. Former Lieut.- Gov. O. Max Gardner, of Shelby, ap pearing before the joint appropriations committee of the general assembly to nkrht, made a vigorous and success ful appeal for the Orthopaedic hospital at Gastonia, The committee will recommend the passage of the. Carpenter-Woltz bills carrying the $135,000 for improvement and maintenance for the crippled children's home. The budget commis sion omitted to provide for this in stitution because it expected private philanthropy to shoulder the burden. Governor Gardner came here in be half of the citizens of Gastonia and the friends of the institution. He per sonally appealed to members of the committee and tonight went before the joint meeting and presented the case with characteristic eloquence.

Cardinal Dubois' re cent edict against dancing and mod- kern dress in France-has brought forth loud protests from leadlng dressmak ers. Among these Paul Poiret, one of the leaders-, of French fashions, is bit ter against the , archbishop of Paris. M. Poiret considers that decency in dress is a matter of interpretation and latitude. He admits that nothing which is exaggerated is harnjonious, but when Cardinal Dubois says that dresses are too rich Paul Peirot replies that church officers have always liked luxu rious gowns for their own uses. He recalls that in time gone by priests wore richly embroidered gowns in gold and silver. He even cites those who wore silk stockings and furs and se riously asserts they did not'wear such dresses for comfort. M. Poiret admits, however, that the decolletes t Pari giennes favor so much are often too ex aggerated. k He further points out that if Car dinal Dubois' edict was to be taken se riously by Frenchwomen and if they gave up their stylish dresses some 400,000 women employed in the dress making trade would soon be out oi work.
