Vol. X—No. 24 fl.60 PER YEAR—5c A COPY Lillittfftou, N. C., Thursday, June 14, 1928 DEMOCRACY OF HARNETT LETS BICKERING GO "If It Concenu Harnett, It’# in THE NEWS" had founU It abundant and stonch- ful In its own house. Turning to State matters the i' akei hurriedly referred to the What Semblance of Discorc There Might Have Been Faded Away at Conven tion Saturday Anyone who may have been look ing for disruption In the ranks of Harnett Demoeracy, when the coun ty convention was held here Satur day, found disappointment for him self because the Democrats were In tent upon no .such thing. If there was any feature of the convention more conspicuous than the large delegation that ihronged the court house hall, it was the manifesta flon of party loyalty on the part of those who wore most eomsplcuous In their claims for their favorite program.x. Uiit It might be said that the tremen'd'ous outpouring of Democrats to their county conven tion was the 'biggest feature. Not in the past decade, it Is said, have such large number.s of Democratt attended the convention. "In t multitude of counsel there is wls dom,” remarked a sage in atten dance, and the spirit which predom inated throughout the deliberation- of the convention Saturday marked the truthfirlness of the words. Charles Ross, who for many year? has been an outstanding and tiro less worker tor the party in Har nett, was called to'the chair by Chairman Taylor after he had an nounced the convention assembled for Its biennial session. Chairman Taylor IndulgoJ' in no speech of in troduction. Mr. ;Uoss is so well- known for his party loyalty a-s wel' as for his unusual ability as a pub lie speaker that tiie chairman took It for granted that the convention was ready for the keynote address It was an addres.s of which the Har nett Democracy may w'ell be proud Greeting ills fellow-Democrats on the eve of another great battle, Mr. Ross e.xlended Iii.s thank.s for the honor conferred upon him and re- minde# them that ho is constantly aware of the fact that his standing in the party, as well as even the State position he holds, comes by virtue of the hearty support which his home county Democracy accofd? him. E.vpre.s.slng appreciation oi the fact also that he had not worn .out his welcome as a .speaker for his .party here, ho reminded his hearers that his 2i3 years of servlc for Harnett had only whetted his desire for furllior service. He was present then a;; in other days be cause of principle, and lie hailed hi? fellows as Democrat.s. whether of this or that creed or clan. For Do mocracy, he explained, Is an aill tude, a spirit of fellow-feeling one for another that shapes and influ encer, all of man’s relations with his fellows. Not recently ha.s Do mocracy been Instilled Into the hearts and lives -of true men. .said the -peaker, but back in the dayj when the world was receiving it' great lessons in brotherly love, iht .Master in an upper room at Jerusa lem washed the feet of his fellowt after they had caviled about place In the kingdom so cheri.shed In the Jewish breast. And when the Great Teacher led his foMower.s out of a wilderness of seMisbno.''.s and dis pute, 'He told them that he who would be greatest In the Klngldom must be servant -of all. True It was that Chrlstophei Columbus and his faithful voyagers, In the true spirit of world service brought the spirit of Democracy to the new' world. It was the perpet uation of that democratic spirit manifested and taught by the Mas ter. And here the speaker remind ed his hearers that Democracy was so much older than Jefferson that It seemed almost to border on sacri lege not to recognize Its foundation nineteen hundred years ago anU perpetuated by .servants of the masses ever since. The -philosophy of government which we know ai Democracy Is the spirit of brother hood which the world received In the long aigo. Mr. -Ross brought to the attention of his hearers the story of -progres? begun under the Wilson administra tion and Us utter vanishment in the days of the Republican rule that have followed. In the greed that has characterized protection of the favored few; In the scandal that has bootetd men from high place in the G. O. P. ‘government circle, and in the "unknow>n myth*’ that has failed to perform for laok of sta mina, iMr. Ross told his hearers there was ample room for doubting the ability of such a -party to prop erly administer government right eously, and 'especially so after -that party had conducted exhaustive search for whiff of scandal follow ing the Wilson admlnlstratloi but phenomenal ri.se of North C.iro.'.nn in the rank of progressive Slato> through its development of sclioM-^. highways and the many oUi:r 'terns of progress that have come Ihrough on the program begun by Aycock and his associates. He then con- tiasted It with the little or nothing of importance achieved by the short rule of Republicanism in I he State Concluding his address, Mr. Res.-- flung open the door of Democracy to all right-thinking popole with the fO'llowilng declaratio'.i: ‘T do not care whether a man choose to worship God amid gold en candlesticks and brazen images, using for his prayers the Ian,-tttige of 'Caesar and Cicero, or whether he gc forth Into the forest, with some grassy mound for an altar, na ture’s myriad voices for his choir, and God’s twinkling stars as the only writnesses of his devotion; I do not care whether he 'be content to remain at home at night and wear his night-shirt In the privacy of his own bed- chamber, or wheth er he faro forth clad in Its arnph folds, to fellwoship with others of his kind, In some secret lodging hall—If he 'loyally accepts and 1? willing to advance these principle,^ of equal rights to all and special privilege to none, d declare him eligible to membership in this dem ocratic organization."

Clifford seconded that the tem porary organization be matde per manent and It was unanlm.Mu.ly adopted. Representatives Britt and Steele of the county press were roe- ognized with James Best as secre taries of the convention. Dr. J. W, Halford^ moved that a rising vot) of haniks 'be extended Mr. Ross lor bis -masterly address and it wa'i unanimously adopted. It was unanimously ordered lhat each precinct elect one member of committee on platform. A meet ing of this committee w'as held and adopted two resolutions offered in convention and recommended that a mass meeting be called some time in August by the county chairman to adopt a platform. Fo-llowlng an the resolutions offered: By Neill 'MclK. ‘Salmon: "Resolved by the Democrats of Harnett County In Convention as- sembleki', that we re-declare our confidence in the leadership of Sen ator 'F. 'M. iSlmmon.s, ami wo Instruct our delegates to the Democratic State Convention which convenes on June 12th, to cast the vote of Har nett 'County for his re-election as member of the 'Democratic "National Committee for North 'Carolina.” By M.

"Resolved further, that we in struct the delegates of Harnett County to the Democratic State Convention -to be held June 12th at Raleigh, North Carolina, to endeav or to have the sense of this reao’hi- tlon incorporated in the Democratic Pla'tform." Test of strength of the favored candidates for President was taken by precinct caucuses, which showed 8-7 5-12 votes for 'Hull and 46 7-12 for Smith. For each' 25 votes or major fraction thereof each pre cinct is entitled to ohe vote In the county convention. This made a total of 134. The county Is entitl ed to 22 votes In the State conven tion, It •was ordered that the vote? be halved in order that a larger delegation might be afforded, ^ach delegate to carry half a vote, thus affording 4'2 delegates with fwo al ternates. The idelegatloii was ap portioned according to the test strength -of the two candfidates, iHulI and ‘Smith—.28 for 'Hull and 16 .for Smith.

IMPORTANT BILLS PASSED BY CONGRESS INVITATION TO ATTEND BARBECUE ON PEE DEE I High Spots in Legislation En acted by First Session of Seventieth Congress of United States MUCH INTEREST IN THE SCHOOL DIST.

At 10:30 o’clock in the court house in ‘Lilllngton on the 13th the organization was held las ardereid by the (County Convention. 'Mr. U. B. iBlalook, Gen-Mgr. of the N. C. Cotton Growers Association, was present and delivered an address. Mr. Blialoidk has just recently re turned from' a meeting of the Ex ecutive Olmmittee of the American Cotton Growers Exchange at .Mem phis and brought first hand Infor mation of crop conditions in al'l o' the cotton states. He also had other information of timely Inter est to cotton g.rowers. In addition to Mr. Blalock’s ad dress a (muslcail treat was arranged In the form, of a little negro quar tette. These little negro chlMdren have one of the very best vocal quartettes In Ha.rnett .County al most regardless of the age of oth- er.s. Their songs "were genuinely enjoyed by al'l. Much Interest Is 4>elng ahdwu In the seven school itlsiricts "'which will on June 191h vote on the ques tion of levying a ap^lM tax of 50c In those 'districts tor acbool pur poses. Inasmuch aa the question of the levy involves the difference of a' six months or an eight months school In each of the dlstrtcta, lntere.st In the outcome of the elections is not only dlstTlct-wMe, but is attracting at'tentlon from school authorities in the county. Superintendent Gentry of the school system stated I'D iThe Newe Monday that «q far as he is able to see now. thera will not like ly develop enough oapqsUion to the eloetlonjg in any olfthe district to defeat the levies. In one oc two districts -there has been .shown sonu .spirit of opposition, he says but he expects this to fade away as the people become better Informed a? to the real purpose of the measure. Registrars have .kept open their books for the required time and It is said that large numbers arc reg istered In each of the districts. The vote, in order for the mea-sure to carry, muat be a majority of these registered, hence there will be live ly %vorking In the interest of the elections by those closely allied W'ith the school cause. In some of the 'districts the peo ple have manifested a desire to hear discussion of the proposed levy, with explanailon of Its pur poses to acetpe. To satisfy tWs de sire, Superintendent Gentry and Neill McOK. Salmon, attorney for the board, assisted iby J. 'R. Baggett and others, have attendetl- scheduled meetings and made talks upon the subject. It is well for all voters to keep in mind that no one who Is not registered can vote, and that a ma jority of the registered voters must vote “Yes” in order for the election to carry.

After a 'protracted flll'buester In the Senate which prevented the Boulder Dam IblU from coming to a vote, anidi during which distin guished''members of that body en gaged in extended dissertations -up on various and sundfry topics, oc casionally 'breaking the monotony for themselves and the galleries by wise cracks at each other,, the first session of the TOth Congress came to L-ff end at '5:30 P.

Among them were: tax reduction, .farm relief, flood con trol, merchant .marine, extension of the Inland 'Waterways Gorporation, Muscle 'Shoals, and alien property legislation. The tax 'bill', which was the first blill introduced in the House during the last session, was one of the Aast to receive '.final approval. As .final ly sent to the PresMent it provides for a reduction in government rev enue estimated at 8'2i22,000,0-90 a year.

A. Peterson began the first of June to -make an eco nomic survey of the wood lands of Harnett county to determine Its timber resources. After comp'tetlug a like survey in other states, Mr. Peterson fln'ds that mu'Ch cut-oror land has become a financial burden rather than an asset. With some care and attention, however, he sees greet .poBsibliitles in reforestation. Mr. Peterson imakes the following com'ment relative to bis -work aa It relates to Harnett: "iMost of the -people of this coun ty are aware of the fine work being done by The North Oarollna State Forest Service in -the prevention anl control of torest fires.

Some wlH say that we have learned our (lesson fromi other daye but let us look in to the, facte a little and- see what we find. How many owners of cut o-rer lands are giving any adtual at tention to their woodlands?

The old' haibit of burning over the -woodland each spring was in many oases wasteful as the old one of allowing the cut down timber to rot.
