fAGE to O Interesting N Reported F i By M. K. Dl NX AG AX (.Stuff Correspondent) Raleigh, N C Without a discordant note and with enthusiasm runEtag high, the militant Democracy of North Carolina met in Raleigh on Thursday and in convention assembled listened to three hours of oratory, adopted the briefest platform in its history and dedicated itself to the contests with Republicans this fall. The sales tax, prohibition, appointment of Frank R. McXineh as Undersecretary of Agriculture, the proposed new constitution and other controversial subjects did act reach the convention hall, although some of them were the subjects of resolutions in the district caucuses preliminary to the convention proper, so no contests arose and no feeling engen- j dere i, other than that of good-fellow-j h-M-r. ? Keynoter Cam Morrison followed closely a manuscript that lauded the national and State administrations aud their heads, the delegation in Congress, Democrats generally and ended with a poem by Hobby Burns. Although hamstrung by the manuscript and Having to aim at the loud . speaker microphone, he did a careful , and thoughtful job, showing no feel- , ing for the reversals he has had. The platform, read by "Governor" R. A. Doughton. was a model of sim- , plicity and brevity, also lauding the ; State and national Democratic administrations and making only one , promise, to seek to improve the con- , dition of the Slate's teachers, in ad- ; diting to giving the usual effective , and honest Democratic rule of the . past. | ( Governor Ehrir.ghaus made only a ', brief accounting for his stewardship, i [ as his record of two years was fully j, covered, and asked for united support for the remainder of the admin-1 istratior. Senator Bailey recounted j the blessings secured by this State from the Federal government, the , Morehead City port, the mountain . parkway route (now less certain), iand other benefits, naming numbers , of leading North Carolinians now oc-1, copying important federal posts. I Senator Reynolds put ou 'lie!, "rousements," proclaiming love for | ] everybody, especially Cam Morrison. ; i infecting a lighter vein into an oth-! j erwisc placid and solemn meeting. He , merely did a "Bob Reynolds" on the.; platform Congressman It. L. Dough-! ton reviewed briefly achievements of J the recent session of Congress. Jose- i jjiius vuaieis mso, turned ins eyes to-j ward Kooscyeit an I Washington in', a short laik. Cohsrrtssnraji Lindsay Warier., permanent ehainnuri, kepi thing's mov- , ing white the platform ecm mittee was formulating its ropor;. He presented the entire delegation in Congress front this state, except Zebuion Weaver, an o'.nors oeing present. The district meeting earlier in the ; day had elected their III members I each to the Stale Democratic exeeu-1 Live committee, which will meet ia-1 ter to name the State chairman, vice-' chairman and secretary, and ail dis-, trict committees, judicial and senatorial, were named for the next two years.

Hoey and Congressman Do light 0:1 were seen in close conversation as the crowds milled about them in the hotel lobby at the con- j vention. Both denied that Mr. Hoey will finally get in the race. If he sbouid not, then "Parmer Bob" will, ft seems pretty certain that one of thern will, but it is not beiieved that Mr. Doughton will if Mr. Hoey does. Also, A. H. "Sandy" Graham is credited with "running like a house a-' fire," some such description being I given also of Judge Wilson War'.lck, J while more than half a dozen others j are flirting with the idea. Warren May Oppose Bailey And the belief seems to be spread-1 ing that Congressman Lindsav War-1 ren is ill almost the proper mood for coming out against Senator Bailey ' It is more apparent now than for- j merly. Few thought Mr. Warren would leave a sure thing in the First District for a fling at the State as a whole, but it would not be so surprising if he flung his hat in. Governor Ehringhaus, mentioned also, has ; said nothing consistently. "Dick" Fountain, some observers say, is cer- : tain 'to be in the next Senatorial race, i Senator Bailey has no avowed oppo- i sition now, but that condition is not i expected to continue through his pri- I mary time two years from now. As- | sociate Justice W. J. Brogden also gets mentioned in that, connection.

Commissioner of Revenue A. J. Maxwell warns.

Failure also makes the person, j'rm or corporation criminally lia>lc\ as well as civilly, Mr. Maxwell varus. Tax Sales May Increase A spurt in automobile tag sales is xpeoted Monday when the plates go >a sale as of July I at half price. Fbese spurts are recorded at each >f plates ccmos off. Tags have kept :he high mark they reached early m January, when Governor Ehringhaiis refused to extend the time, as had heen the case in previous years. Sales through June 22 had reached 391.702. or 70.414 higher than the 321,23S plates sold on the same date in 1933. State Buys Irish Potatoes Several carloads of Irish potatoes have been bought by the North Carolina Emergency Relief Administration tSe purchase being surplus potatoes if Eastern Noith Carolina growers, and purchased at SI.25 a barrel. One carload is sent to most of the points in the State, but larger places get two and three carloads. Mrs. Thomas O'Herry, administrator, announces that the first shipment of 20.000 head of cattle will be received in this State this week, kept for 30 to 60 lays, and then distributed through the relief organizations. Art. Appreciation Lectures A series of art appreciation lectures and exhibits will be held at All of fhp CUlYtmPr CaKaaIc AA?/l.lAtArl at State institutions this sun.mer, Dr. A. T. Allen states. Dates have not been selected, but prominent speakers on art. with illustrations and exhibits, will be at the following institutions during the summer schools: University, Chapel Hill; Womarts' College. Greensboro: State College, Raleigh; A. S. T. C. Boone; E. C. T. C? Greenville; W. C. T. C., Cullowhee, They will be directed by and financed through Miss Lelia Machlin, director of Southern Art Projects, Washington. Miss Juanita McDougald, of the Stale Department, will be in charge, aided by teachers designated at the various summer schools. Largest Teacher Payroll White elementary school teachers and principals numbering 12,532 who taught last year have been paid $7,457,027.48 for their services for the eight months, or an average of $595.03 for the term, while 3.939 white high schools and principals were paid S2.025.W8.48, an average of 8742.78. The total allotment from State funds for all teachers and principals was $ a 2,534,124.13, which the *>00,000 in Federal funds increased to $13,034,724.73 for teachers and principals, Le Key Martin, secretary of the State School Commission, reports. This is the State's largest payroll, being almost twice as much as all other State employees receive. Governor Names Committee Governor Ehringhaus has appointed a committee to study unemployment insurance in accordance with a resolution adopted by the JU33 General Assembly, saying he has assurance from the State Emergency Relief Administration of sufficient funds for financing and assistance to insure adequate study of the problem ind gathering such material and preparation of such data as necessary 'or the report. The committee is comiosed of a dozen labor and employer, student and welfare groups. To Reduce Revenue Force The "last round-up" of employees >f the State Revenue Department to fo under the reorganization being juried on under direction of Dr. M.! WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVER i C. S. >*oble Jr., is expected this week so that the new fiscal year will start with the names oi probably eight additional names missing. Reports are that Dan VY. Terry. Richmond County. franchise tax chief: Alex ?. Beddingfield. Wake County, head of the income tax division, and A. S. Torapsor. former assistant commissioner, now doing work as secretary of the State Board of Assessments, are scheduled to go, along with two or three field men find two or three stenographers and clerks. Already A. S. Carson, cashier; J. R. Collie, deputy commissioner; Miss Mela Adams, chief of the inheritance tax division, and 20 or more others in positions of varying importance, have been released. The department lias been divided into two main divisions, headed by Harry McMullen and George G. Scott, while the field force has been reorganized and placed imder Charles H England. The entire office set-up has been changed with a view of more efficiency and economy in operation. r.p.vcmrtf li'Hi'inch-Jiit; I i as a "master strategist" in getting ever liis plan quietly anil patiently for making the department a "collecting" rather than a "receiving agency.

I Answer ; When the first symptomsj appear '.he individual call should be isolated and the milk feed reduced at least one-half. Legume hay should ] be replaced by grass hay until the j trouble disappears. Give the calf a j dose of one to three tablespoons full i | of castor oil, depending upon the age ! of the calf, mixed in a pint of fresh j milk. Following this a teaspoonfiil; of a mixture composed of one part i salol and two parts each of subni- j trate of bismuth and bicarbonate of. soda should be given and repeated ] at six hour intervals until the diar- j rhea is checked. This trouble is caused by improper feeding such as overfeeding. using dirty pails or boxes, irregular feeding or feeding milk loo rich in fat. These should be checked ami corrected before putting the cali back on the regular diet. j Rowan County farmers report that j the wheat is coming out good in spit! of the hard winter and that fairly \ good yields are expected.
