THE ALAMANCE GLEANER VOL. XLVI Democratic Convention. Hon. Caaeron Morrison, Candidate For Governor. Speaks. AFTER SPEAKING COUNTY TICKET • NOMINATED. The Democrats of Alamance coun ty filled the* court house Saturday afternoon to hear Bon. Cameron Morrison, Democratic candidate for Governor, apeak and to attend the Democratic county convention. A number of Republicans were also in the audience to hear Mr. Morrison: The convention was called to order by the Democratic County Chairman, Mr. C. R. Love, who called Son. J. Elmer Long to the chair as tempo rary chairman and the Democratic editors were requested to act as sec retaries. 'The temporary organiza tion was made permanent. ' Mr. .Morrison was introduced by Mr. Long and addressed the con vention for more than *an hour in a clean cut speech, which Was devoted chiefly to national issues, Mr. Mor rison saying that until the Legisla ture finished its work he preferred not to discuss the big State issues. . He declared it his firm conviction that the League of Nations would be adopted by this country, and he «aid unstinted praise to President Wilson which met with hearty ap proval from his audience. Speaking of woman suffrage, he said that he had been against it, be lieving it to be the province of man to perform the sterner duties of life, shielding woman in her purity and innocence, but that h'aving been given the ballot be bade her wel oome. He had the best of attention throughout jmd his speech fcas fre quently punctuated with applause. Nomination*. When Mr. Morrison had finished the work of the convention was re sumed. Nominations began with County Commissioners. The following were placed in nomination: E. P. Dixon of Newlin township, Chas. D. John ston of Graham, W. L. Cooper of Graham, Robah B. Newlin of Thompson; L. B. Whitted of Bur lington, W. 0. Warren of Melville, A. I. Brown, John M. Coble of Pat terson, John H. Wilkins of FaUgette. A motion was made and carried that the five receiving the highest num ber of votes should be declared the nominees. Dixon, Johnston, Whit ted, Warren and Wilkins received the highest votes and are the nomi nees. Next came Ihe candidate for the Legislature. W. J. Graham, present representative, had been spoken of quite favorably, but he had written and requested that his name be not used- Then the name of Dr. W. P. Lawrence, who was nominated eight ' years ago and for good reasons later declined, was placed before the con vention. There was no other nomi nation and he was nominated by ac clamation. The other nominations for county officers are the present incumbents and the nominations were made by acclamation, as follows: For Bheriff, Chas. D. Story; for Register of Deeds, Ben. M. Rogers; for Sur veyor, Lewis M. Holt; for Coroner, Dr. R. M. Troxler. The ticket is regarded as a most exoellent one and highly satisfactory. When the work of the convention was concluded, township executive committees were named and various other committees were selected for campaign purposes. The Gleaner will print the names of the various committees in its next issue.

Plant Clover this Fall—Order Ground Limestone Ntow. The Progressive Farmer. IQ planning to grow clover the coming year, it remem bered that clover faranng and lim ing go together. Most of our Southern soils require lime for successful growth of the mow im portant clovers and practically all legumes are benefited by its use. To be sure that the ground lime stone will be on hand when need ed, it should be ordered at once. The oar £nd railroad situation generally is such that deliveries will be slow and uncertain. Buy limestone direct from the crush ers in carload lotat Any farmer can order it. If the carload is more than one man needs he. can get hid neighbors to 00-operate [with him in ordering. When this is done the money should be de posited in the bank before the car is ordered. The banker, county agent, or public spirited merchant will be glad to order the car and help the farmers out, where it is desired. To hold the expenses to a mini mam, order fro'm the nearest plant whose prices are right and product of good quality, plan the work so as to be ready to haul the lime stone as soon as tbe car arrives, And co-operate with the others interested in the car in loading the wagons. It Pays to Test Rubber Rings. With frnit, sugar, and vege tables at their present high levels, the canner who does not test the rubber rings she uses is taking a long'chance as to whether the 20 to 50 cents worth of good material in the can will keep or not. This year the country is flooded with poor robber rings, and unless the housekeeper tests the rings Bhe is using the chances are good that her canned products will not keep. The cost of everything entering into retailing rings has increased, and in order to continue selling them at the old price and to make a profit many manufacturers have reduced the quality of the rings they Are putting out. The United States Department of Agriculture gives a uumfier of tests w&ich may be used to determine whether a rubber ring has the requirements that it should have or not. One is the stretching test. A 6-inch piece is cut out of a ring; take hoid of the end so there are 4 inches between the fingers. Stretch the piece along a ruler until the fingers are 10 inches apart. The sample should not break and should return when re leased to its original length. The tensile strength test is as follows: Fill a light-weight pail with 1 gal lon and 7 pints of water (total weight approximately 17 pounds). Place the jar ring around an empty spool*, pass a wire through the center of the spool and fasten to, handle of the pail; then pass the round handle of a wooden spoon or broom through the ring and lift. The ring should not break. If rings will stand these two tests, they are not likely to give trouble in canning. A LEOPARDCANNOT CHANGE ITB SPOTS Mr. Dodson, tbe "liver Tone" Han, Teha the Treachery of Calomel. Calomel loses you a day! Jdoii know what calomel is. It's mer cury; quicksilver. Calomel is dan gerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sick ening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system. 'When you feel bilious, slucjish, constipated and all knocked out and oelieve you need a dose of dangerous calomel, Just re member that your druggist sells for a few centa a large bottle of Dod son's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a |.ferfec substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed to start your lier without stirriog you up inside and out. Don't take calomel! It cannot be trusted any more than a leopard or a wild cat. Take Dodson s Liver Tone which straightens vou right up and makes you feel fins. Give it to the children because It is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe. Senator Johnson did not get the Republican nomination, hut be has gotten the nominee. GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. AUGUST 36, 1920 Committee Makes Report of Shooting By Soldiers July 19th. . Report to Governor Vindicates Action of Soldiers— Newspaper Comment—Graham People Get Little Comfort "The committee, arter A careful consideration of all the testimony and of the facta and circumstances attending the ordering of the ma chine CUD company to Graham, N. 0., finds as follows: "1. That the ordering of~}he machine gun company to Ofahain for the purpose of upholding the law and guarding the jail of Ala mance county, was justified by the conditions existing in GJa ham, at the time the civil authori ties requested the Governor to senchtroops to Graham. '"2. Thar upon his arrival in Graham the commanding officer of the machine gun company re ported to the sheriff of Alamance county, and immediately estab lished a guard line around the jail and posted sentinels. "3. That'the troops, while on duty in Graham, were frequently jerrad at, and a'number of insult iug remarks were made to them from time to time during their tour of duty, bat tho troops made no reply. "4. That on Monday there was apparent quiet in the town. , "5. That during Monday after noon and iu the early hoars of Monday night, threats of breaking the jail and taking out the pris oners, being guarded, were made to the soldiers, as well as in the presence of other" in the town; and these thi-eits were communi cated by the soldiers and others to the commanding olli er of the machine gun cam pan}'. "6. Tfiat- the sentinels mid jail were fired upon by parties un known between 9 »md !J :80 o'clock on Monday night; that tho seuti nels, when fired upon, and acliug upon the orders from their su perior officers, fell back to tbe jail and made report to the miperior officers of suoh tiring ; that after the jail anQ sent in* I* had been thus fired upon, and alter neveral shots were fired at. ihe jail, the officer in charge of the |iu»rd and machine gun company gave orders to commence firing; that several rounds were fired by the guards from volleys from the machine guns of. from ten l» tweuty-five shots each; the fire of the machine guns was from tbe rear and side of the jail; and »the fire from tbe pistols was from the rear, sides and front of the jail; tliut no dam age was done by the machine gun fire; and that severa shot* from the pistols struck houses in the vicinity of the jail "7. That officers and men of the machine gun company, under the orders to protect the jail and guard the prisoner*, were iiilly justified in returning ihe lire, when the sentinel and jail were fired upon. "8. That James Raj, who was killed on the street near th. jail, and Willie Phillips ami Clem Brad shaw, who were wounded, were not mem ers of any unorganized mob, but seemed to have been iu noceut or carious onlookers. "9. That the conduct of the offi cers and of the ineu of the tuachiue gun company, from the time they reached Graham and reported to the sheriff for duty until they were relieved on Tuesday morn ing, was in every respect most ex emplary and sol ier-like. The testimony satisfies us that none of the soldiers was under the influ ence of liquor, aud that there was no unseemly or uugentlenianly conduct on tbe part of any of them." The Charlotte Observer says: "THE ALAMANCE AFFAIR. "Under the circumstances that prevailed at the time, the prowl ing around the jail iu tho dark • ness of the night by one man w.»a occasion for regarding the prowler las a mob. It was about 2 o'clock, aud the jail was under guard by militiamen whose nerves had l*eeu keyed np in anticipation of a movemeut against the jail. They heard more than one man, and the order to shoot was given. It might have been anticipated that the investigating committee would render vindication for the soldiers iu having returned the fire, 'when the sentinels and jail were fired upon ' It was a verdict in vindi cation of the law as well as of the soldiers, and it will be accepted by tbe people* of tbe State as a righteous verdict." Tbe Raleigh News and Observer says: 44 WILL COMMAND APPROVAL. „ "The finding of the committee appointed to investigate the' kill ing of one man and the injuring of two'others at Graham by sol diers guarding the jail last month will meet the approval of the ma jority of public opinion we should j ridge. The fatality was lament able in the extreme. But in a matter of this sort a considerable measure of charity is due the men who are on guard. They are maintaining the law. They are exposing their lives in behalf Of the good name of the State. They cannot take any chances. Usually they are inexperienced iu dealing with such affairs and naturally are disposed to exaggerate sus picions actions. But lhat is not their fault; it is the fault of th • State and pet haps in the last analj-sis the fault of a public which permits the formation of mobs re quiring the quick assembling of more or less unprepared military forct s to see that tbe law is not violated. "The committee finds that the man killed and those wounded were not members of any mob but merely interested or curious on lookers. It is to be regretted that innocent men had to pay tbe pen alty of the offenses of others. Tbe outcomo would have been much more fitting if Hie bullet* of the soldiers could have had their marks in the bodies of men ac tually trying to make trouble for the military detachment, but tbe fact lhat they didn't is not suf ficient grouud for censuring the young uieu who were defeudiug the jail."
