GRAHAM, N. C„ April 4, 1912. DELEGATE TO NATIONAL CON VENTION. It is quite well known that Mr. E. S. Parker, Jr. is in favor of Hjn. Oscar W. Underwood for President. He has expressed a cl desire to attend the National Democratic Convention to be held in Baltimore, and THE GLEAN BE rises to put him in nomi nation. While Mr. Underwood may not be the first choice of this Con gressional District, yet Mr. Parker is frank about his preference. THE GLEANER would be glad to see the district confer this honor on Mr. Psrker, a man who has never sought official favor for himself but has been content to do what be could for his friends without reward or hope of reward. THE MISSISSIPPI FLOODING. Not within the memory of man has the Mississippi river been on snch a rampage. The towns and in Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mis sissippi along the "Father of Waters" are inundated. At Mem phis the rise has reached 43 feet. Many elty blocks are flooded. At this and other points many thousands have been driven from their homes. Many levees have broken and the damage is incal culable. • ' One may for one reason or another pretend to forget one thing or another, but the memory cf the bad roads of the winter just over can scarcely be entirely effaced. *>' eft - Sidna Allen and Wesley Ed wards of the outlaws who shot up the court at Hillsville, Va., on 14th of March are still at large.
