DESERT REYNOLDS
AND JOSIAH BAILEY
Rumor ?;&es the Round that Formei
Senator Morrison May Oppose Roll
North Carolina Solons When The\
Face Re-election. Would Suppor
Judge Vurser and Clyde Hoey V01
Respective Seats.
By ML K. Dt NXAGAN
(Special Writer for The Democrat)
Raleigh.?Interesting, if not exact
ly strange, is the political report, sup
posedly coming from sources ar. leas
close to former Governor-Senate:
Cameron Morrison, that this "wheel
.boss of Democracy" will give supper
to Judge D. R. Varaer, Lumberton, a:
an opponent to Senator J. W. Railed
from the east, and Clyde K. Hoey
.Shelby, as opponent to Senator R. K
Reynolds, from the west, when th<
two incumbents seek re-election.
Senator Morrison, appointed to fil
an unexpired terra of the late Senator
Lee S. Overman, by a man he hac
previously defeated for the gubernatoriai
nomination, O. Max Gardner,
and then defeated in a Democratic
primary for the post lie held by the
so-called "upstart," Bob Reynolds,
was not pleased fey the overrun. Nor
was he pleased at the gesture of Senator
Reynolds in suggesting Mr. Morrison
as national committeeman to
succeed O. Max Gardner, resigned. He
evidently thought it an empty gesture,
merely to keep him placated and
thus r.c have what he would contribute
cf the Morrison millions to campaign
funds.
Not Pleased with Bailey
Nor is Morrison pleased with his
junior colleague of earlier days, Senator
Bailey. He apparently believes
Bailey sort of double-crossed him, or
at least did not give him any support,
on the ground that Senator Bailey
somewhat hoped for a Morrison
defeat, presumably because then he.
Senator Bailey, would be the senior
Senator from North. Carolina, as he
is. and with only three years of service
to his credit. So. there's no love
for cither of the Senators in the Morrison
heart, and there would be no
pangs if either were defeated, or both.
It is but natural, anyway, for Mr.
Morrison to support Judge Varser,
one of the ablest lawyers in the State,
though little given to politics, or his
own. He served for a period as AsRnpifltn
liisHfo .->f Ihfi "V /"*
Court, and was the Democratic keynoter
at, the contention some five
years ago. Ife has represented the
State, as a sort of assistant attorney
general, in the park committee litigation.
vcrv satisfactorily- and it was
ho who drew most of tiie budget reform
legislation enacted in 1925 and
1927 at the instigation of Goverr.ot
A. VV. Mclaiau, who fcr several years
had judge Varser as a law partner.
Close friend to Hoey
Nor is it all foreign that Mr Morrison
would support Mr. Hoey, although
he is a brother-in-law of Governor
Gardner. The Morrison-Gardner
fight was all smoothed over by Morrison's
appointment to the Senate by
Gardner, of course. Too, Morrison and
Hoey fought shoulder to shoulder,
both speaking many times, in opposition
to repeal of the IStb amendment
in the November election, and their
side registered a more than two and
a half to one victory in the vote.
Mr. Hoey served as assistant district
attorney for a time. Then, wTien
Congressman S. Yates Webb was appointee!
to the Federal court bench
and resigned in the middle of a twoyear
term, Mr. Hoey ran, opposed in
a Democratic primary by Johnson
McCall, Charlotte, selected as his opponent
by the Mecklenburg Democratic
executive committee as Mecklenburg's
candidate, and won, and also
defeated his Republican opponent,
the late former Congressman John M.
Morehead. But Mr. Hoey did not run
again and has not since sought office.
He has been mentioned for many
posts and current belief is that the
people of North Carolina would give
him anyhting he might seek?largely
because he ha3 been fighting the battles
of Democracy for years, without
being the least self-seeking.
Regardless of the authority for the
report that Marrison would put these
men forward to oppose what may be
termed two political enemies, it seems
but a natural development. Varser
Lcyiucuui mc viu, auuu, yec suinciently
progressive wing of what was
formerly the Simmons organization.
Hoey represents the later Gardner
element, which opposed, almost defeated
and was later endorsed and
received, partially at least, into the
old Simmons group. Both would have
the support, largely, without any of
the earlier odium of the "Simmons
Machine" attached to them.
But, of course, there is even a still
younger element to be reckoned with
by any man seeking political preference.
This may be described as tbe
"young Democrats," although not necessarily
entirely the organization of
that name. It and the new element
have been identified with Governor
Ehringhaus and Major L. P. McLendon,
his campaign manager, either or
both of whom might get into the two
senatorial fights which are looming,
with unusual intreest, on the political
horizon of North Carolina. The Bailey-Reynolds
seats, with the VarserHocy
suggestion and the EhringhausMcLendon
possibility, are going to
cause a lot of political interest and
intensity in the next three or four
years.

!RECALLS VIS^IT OF

(Bursar at Lees -MrK-.w College Relates
Interesting: Story of War
I'resident's Return to Davidson
College. Was Occupant of "Room
13." Cracked Wise When Wood row
Visited Dormitory.
Banner Elk.?A recent issue of the
Davidson College Bulletin contains an
article by Dr. Walter 1- Langle, president
ot Davidson, recalling the visit
of Woodrow Wilson to his old room
at Davidson College, ami the plight
of the freshman who then occupied
the room when told the President o!
the United States wanted to see it.
Archibald C. Young, bursar of L.eea
McRae College, a graduate of Davidson
College with the class of 1917,
was the Davidson student on whom
the story was told. He has -several
on/4 !<onc t i\ thf> VfiP.
i.v; i '.lipjiio cu V4 aviui^ivu>7 w vuv vision
given by Dr. Dingle. According to
Dr. Lir.gle, President W15 son, who visited
the Davidson campus in 1916,
walked to the old Chambers Build
' tag'and knocked without warning at
Room 13, which he had occupied
many years before as a student. The
1 freshman within said, "Who's that?"
The reply came back, "Woodrow Wil'
son," to which the freshman, unbelieving,
replied cheerfully. "You've
: got nothing on me?I'm Christopher
1 Columbus." On ihe entry of Mr. Wilson,
the unfortunate youth went out
J the window.
IMr. Young, who was the actual occupant
of Room 13, was in reality a
, junior at the time, and had been
i warned early that morning that Mr.
j Wilson would be likely to call, by Dr.
! McConnell, then president of Davidson.
Young, however, had been out
late the night before. He had ridden
a freight train seven miles to a see a
neighboring blonde and had walked
back. On being disturbed with the
message that Wcodrow Wilson was
coming, ho replied nonchalantly,
"Tell him 1 was out late hist night
and don't want to be disturbed."
The President did not come until
late *in the morning and Young and
! his cronies, giving bun up, started a
;i little game of penny ante. It was at
I this moment that the Frseident did
;[ arrive. The i>oys did not go out cf
I the window, out made me nest ci me
i situation. Mr. Wilson did nothing but
smile and remark that the room
j looked much as it had when he had
beer: its tenant.
Mr. Young says that the episode
at the time was published 'oy the As
seriated Press and has since echoed
several times, In the winter of 192b,
;,his sister, Miss Willie R. Young, was
i' an observer at the International
. Peace Conference in Geneva, and
heard the story quoted by one of the
French delegations, at the observance
of Woodrcw Wilson's birthday She
| wrote, to the Paris correspondent of
11 the New York Times to fine the orij
gin of the story, and was invited to
i a tea where she gave the true ac.

FARM QUESTION
, | Can healthy, vigorous chicks be secured
from late hatched pullets?
I Answer: n me pullets nave Deen
; in production from 60 to SO days before
the eggs are selected for hatch!
Irg and have been mated with vigorous
cocks the chicks should be satisfactory.
The factors of good manager
ment for the pullets, however, will
have considerable bearing on the
' question. A balanced ration should
be fed. reinforced with a biologically
tested eod liver oil where green feed
is not available. The houses should be
j well ventilated with plenty of room
slowed for the laying pullet.

(Beasiey's Weekly >
Colorful stories were told back yonder

CONTROL CHICK DISEASE
BY PKOFEK HAND JANG
': The exorcise of strict care in handling
vouug chicks is highly important
in eradicating baciliary white diarrhea.
states H. C. Gauger, of the
2n. C. State College poultry department.
Persons walking into brooder houses.
rodents and other wild creatures,
contaminated food, manure from diseased
birds, and unsanitary bouses all
are responsible lor spreading the diseased
eggs, which always hatch out
diseased chicks.
'*To wipe out the diarrhea, all diseased
chicks should bo killed and
burned or buried," says Gauger "All
brooder houses should be cleaned over}'
day until the chicks are seven
days old and then once every /our
days thereafter All birds and animals
which might spread the germs
should be kept away from the chix.."
At least, one square foot of floor
space should be provided for each
chick. A good disinfectant should be
placed in their drinking water, and a
v>c.u uaiaiarv. iiinoii s?uuuiu -ju uiv^iuuta
n their diet so as to buiid up their
resistance to disease.
To prevent the chicks from eating
food that has fallen to the floor where
germs may be lurking, the feeding
! pans should he placed upon wire
} frames at least one and one-half feet
! square and an inch and a half abeve
j the floor. The wire should be small
' aiesh. Or si~e 1-4 hardware cloth will
; also serve satisfactorily. The frames
; should be cleaned daily.
; Ganger states that a most importi
Lint step is to secure eggs or chicks
; from hatcheries whose flocks have
been found free of the diarrhea after
being given the blood tests, or at
; least make sure that the eggs came
' from blood-tested birds.
j There are three ways tc tell when
ja cake is done; by testing with a
; straw, or by pressing the top with
! the finger?when it springs back into
j place it is done; and it is obviously
done when it. shrinks away from the
I sides of the pan.
