VOL. XLVI RALEIG-H LETTER a Special Correspondence. Raleigh, Oet. 19.—The largest and moat representative crowd of North Carolinians that ever assem bles at the State's Capital once each year is gathering in Raleigh this week in attendance on the State Fair. This week the crowd ig more representative than usual, becauselt is the year of a general election, when the big political campaigns are staged. Scores of prominent can be picked ont on the fair grounds and in the hotel lobbies, and they are taking advantage of the fine occasion and opportunity to meet their person al friends from all over 'North Oarolfna. Many arrived Saturday and Sunday. The occasion presents a fine opportunity also to newsqaper men to.learn the humor of the people o.f the r various districts and counties with regard to the political parties and their candi dal It is being embraced by your correspondent and he has been struck witH the repeated statements by visitors from all Sections of the State who empha size the assertion that the pros pects of the national Democratic candidates have been vastly im proved within the last two or three weeks. That the league of-nations is close to the hearts of the great North Carolina people and that Candidate Harding has alienated many voters from his party by his moce recent attitude of Open hostility to the league and opposition to the ratification or r a peace treaty, even with reserva tions. As to Morrison and the State ticket,* they all; with one accord, acclaim their admiration for the Democratic candidate for govern or, who most of them have come to know bettter than they did in the days preceding 1 the State pri mary . It is the concensus of opin ion that the Democratic majority \ will be, proportionately, the larg est ever polled for the State ticket. There is but one qualification to this expression and that is that it v depends, of course, largely on the registration of the White women, especially ,1n the eastern and cen tral counties. / The women of the west are largely registered al ready. Get Familiar With These Amendments. Every voter, as a good citizen, should familiarize himself (and herself) with the merits of the five "proposed amendments to the con stitution and vote.-for their adop- J tioni. The first three "go together," * and are absolutely necessary to the revaluation act provisions. The other two can be voted on separately. The effect of these amendments if ratified by the vote of the people at the polls in No vember will be: 1. Give authority to the State to tax net incomes from all sources above exemption of not less than 2,000 for married man or-widow or widower having dependent minor child or children, and to all other persons not lees than $1,000.' v 2. To limit poll tax to not ex ceeding $2 for State,and for munic ipalities, sl.-00. 3. To rednce rate of tax on property for general expenses of 'State and counties from 66 2-3 l cents to a limit of 15 cents on eaeh SIOO worth of property. 4. • To substitute a rule of one inst ad of two years residence in Siate and four months in precinet, as qualification for voting. 5. To abolish payment of poll tax as qualification for voting. * Parker an 4 the Negri Wnu* Clrcalar. Candidate Parker, Republican . nominee'for Qovernor, had a good size crowd to hear him in Raleigh, about half of tbem Democrats, but he disappointed them. Aside from his discussion of the taxa THE ALAMANCE GLEANER. tion subject, in which"he exalted the income tax and belittled the rest of the Democratic reyalua tion program, there was littleTeai meat in his speech. He did noi t fulfill the hopes of many pseseut ( by even referring to Joeiah Wil liam Bailey's .declaration that Parker Was "the most deaseiy ignorant man in public life In 8 North Carolina on the taxation a subject." But he has quit qo>i „ ing Josiah's utterances on the ttu in ject some months back in an at | tempt to bolster .up his own 1 argument. 1 Candidate Parker, with much f gusto, repeated that old thrt-.it t which-he has beeq r making in every speeeh since the episode of the circulation of the letter to the ? negro women occurred, in the hope 1 that he could becloud the issue of . negro women votes in this elec j tion. "I have not located the scoun -7 drel yet," he declared, "butlha&f evidence, and as soon as I cat/ i fasten it on him I will brand the r writer of that circular for whai j he ip," etc. Parker knows as well as the people whom he speaks to ' on the suject, that nd "white * Democrat" liad anything to do - with it. He knows that he-will 7 NEVER be able to FASTEH IT on j any such inan. He-knows pei- I fectly well that he is ulaking this kind of threat in the hope of fool -1 ing disgusted white Republicans, who refused to applaud his threat. Parker will make the aaiAe state ment in the last speech of tbe campaign, the day before tbe election—for the same unworthy purpose. And he will still lxi compelled to say he hits NOT YET fastened it on any white Demo crat. Another display of cheap politics which Parker is still in dulging, is bis fine words for Gardner and Page, and dennncia tloh of Morrison. Any half-wit knows why he does that, and it is an opjn insult to his audience. Anonymous Republican Slanders. One of the certain signs of the waning chances of the Republi cans is the fact that numerous anonymous slanders against prom inent Democrats in the form ot "letters" have recently been re-' ceived by voters of both Sexes. The cowards who attempt*to spill this kind of slow poison around will not even risk-a postmark on their envelopes, mailing them on the trains, so that the recipients cannot tell where they were mail ed. The Slanderers will not in fluence any votes, but it is to be hoped they will break into the penitentiary ere long. Absentee Voters Law Upheld. In upholding the constitution ality of the absentee voters' law, the State Supreme Court was unanimous. The argument of the counsel for the Republican can didate for State treasurer who brought the suit, was that tbe sol diers had returned and them was no longer need of the law. Chief Justice Clark, in his opinion, knocked it cold when he showed that forty-three States now have continued the statute in existence 1 to protect citizens necessarily ab sent from their home prechicis on election. # He stated that the fact that only seventy per eent of tbe white men of this State -had been ► voting 61 late years, was pactly , due to the failure 8f the authori ties to provide an absentee voters' law booner. None of the other States has repealed the law, and the court saw no reason why North Carolina should do so. It is fair in its operation and provisions to every party. r Morrison Back the Stump. Everybody will be glad to learn that tbe temporary throat trouble from which Governor Morrison suffered -a few days early last week, was not serious, and that he will be as thick in the fray ss ever from now until November 2. lie has proved one of the mot-t eflec tive campaigners in tbe history uf the State, and the trouble with bis throat was due to overexert ion in responding to appeafs to .-'peak at places in addition to tho*e on his regular itinerary, aa maae for him by the State chairman. Peo ple from tbe section recently covered by Governor Morrison say "there has been nothing like it on the stump since the days of Zeb Vance." They add that ihe people, women included, have not turned out in such large numbers in a generation. UMWXAM. j ' ■■. ; 1 -V / «ns?L*' tfo• „«• t" •«,*. 'it stJS >./A, Lt GRAHAM, N. C.. THURSDAY.

Be Endowed Wltn Bup*rnatdral Powers. * Lake Baikal la the great lake of i Russia In more than one sense. It is the deepest lake in the world, and one of the largest*, and besides U Is. to the Uusßians. holy. The people who in habit the region of Lake Baikal firmly believe that both the lake and Ita surroundings are endowed with super natural powers and Inhabited bv un earthly beings. All manner of weird tales mingle with their explanations of any feature of the lake. Even so simple an object as » great rock lying In the middle of a river Just where It flows from Lake Baikal takes on a mysterious significance. If this stone were to slip from place, they say. the whole of Lake Baikal would pour out of Its basin and flood the river and probably the continent. Tet even without native Interpretation many things are strange about the great Russiui lake. One of Hulknj's phenomena Is a species of Qsh that Inhabits the deepest part. These fish have been seen by few persons, for as soon as they are lifted out of their accustomed depths with its high wa ter pressure, they explode. Lake Baikal has played an Impor tant part In Russian affairs. It lies directly In the way acrdks the conti nent anil before the railway was built aronnd the southern end of the take it had to be crossed by Siberian trnv- , elers going either east or west. n In summer steamers carried freight and passengers, but In winter, when the lake was Ice bound, traffic de pended on the slow work of an Ice Breaker—a steei ship that could cut ice four feet thick and when the Ice became too thick fbr the breaker sledges made the 40-mlle trip over the Ice. During the Russian-Japanese war, when troops had to be rushed from one end of the empire to the other. Lake Baikal was a great obstacle to speed until engineers laid tracks across the Ice sheet and ran trains across It. A Pain-Killer. Down In the Missouri Ozark* there lives a man who Is passionately fond of fishing, yet who has never been known to catch any flsh to speak of. A friend once asked him IIOW he man aged to keep up such an Interest In the sport when he was so uniformly unlucky. "Well, you see. It's this way," the fisherman explained. "1 go out early !n the morning and cast my fly In the cool, placid waters Just above the old mill dam. If I fail to get a strike I reel In and take a drink out tof my faithful bottle. Then I make a cast I In the turbulent waters below the j dam. If Ido not get a strike I com- j fort myself with a drink from my ' bottle. Then I seek the still, deep j water Just below the cave and, seated j there on a rock, I make another cast. ! Failing to get a strike, I phllosophl- , cally take a drink from my bottle. | Then I try a cast at the big bend. | If there la no strike I again take a ■ drink from my trusty bottle.

In England desperate people In aearch of houses to rent or buy are advertising that ghosts are no draw back. Any one who happens to own a hitherto unrented house because tra dition says it is haunted Is assured that the seekers for a domicile will j accept it at the rental asked for re- i gnrdless of the haunter or hauntess. , It'ls suspected that In England, rfs In several other countries, ghosts of j. landlords would be less objectionable than those of other folk.
