Tobacconists Accept Posi tions With Tobacco Growers' Aasociatioa- GOVERNOR CONVINCED STATE SHOULD RECLAIM IT'S FISH ERIES. (By Marwell Gorman.) Raleigh, April 4. —Some of the daily newspapers during the past week have-consumed an unneces- sarysurplusage of printer's ink in magnifying and speculating upon a recent mooting of a few "labor leaders" at Greensboro, where some unauthorized statements oozed out that caused some of the daily paper correspondents to announce that organized labor and the farmer's union wotlld "form a new party" and put up separate candidates for political offices this yearin North Carolina, in congressional and legislative district*, and in some of the counties. Prominent representatives of organized labor declare that thfrre is 1 no foundation for any such possible ' contingency in North Carolina this year or any othei year soon.

Still, yon can't always tell what might happen. Censorship fbr Movie* Ag als It appears from tbf dttvelop ments at a session of the 'North Carolina Social Service Conference here that the movie picture-shows are to be challenged attain next winter when tin* legislature meets, by the advocates of a state cen sorship. The committee on res olutions reported the following, which was adopted "Whereas-,' The experience of the last twelVe months and the pubKc revelations ef the demora lizing conditions prevailing attong many uiovn** picture nmke>s and distributors h*we added- emphasis to oar ••••'• "Whe*eaayO«r •sister state of* Virginia, with its traditional loy alty to the moral standardh of the south, has just seta goad exaaipla by enacting provision for state censorship of moving pictures; therefore, be it "Resolved, That we congratu late Virginia upon its and urge our members to continue ag gressive work for the same achievs ments in North Carolina." This is a matter which will in : terest many people in many towns •in the state.- Of course there are | differences of opinion, and if all j the exhibitors would be as careful las some who conduct absolutely j clean picture shows, the agitation would die of lost motion. At the last regular session of the legisla ture, in February, 1921, the fight over this proposed censorship board caused one of the biggest "sensations" of the session. i i i .

To Beeever Fish Industry ' Governor Morrison has returned from , his trip to eastern North Carolina, where he spent several days especially devoted to looking intothd alleged decadence of one pf Che state's most important in dustries, and he comes back con vinced that the state should get 'busy reclaiming its own.

Tears Sgo, before we thought to enact any fish or fisheries' legis lation, we permitted Virginia oysGermeo to come in fleets to tho inlaad waters of Ndrttr Carolina and cany off oar oysters to re plenish the oyster bed* of Virginia. Our oygter industry was nearly destroyed at a time when North ICazotinaehonld have been leading the aatio* in oyster production. In themeantime immense seine fisheries on Albeinarie Sound were taking milliona of shad aud her ring that come to these waters to spawn. Miles and miles of neta were used in surrounding vast schools of fish and takiug them wholesale. The seine fisheries de pleted the annual run of shad and herring and stopped only wheu fishing with steam-hauled seines became unprofitable. Regulation of the fishing in dustry oaiue too late to aave it Whea. Uw worfc of «val«*oa and GRAHAM, N. C„ THURSDAY. APHIL 6, 1922 conservation was begun by the Fisheries Commission Board, other destructive agencies over [which the commission had no control were already at work. The shifting 4ands of the Atlantic were closing the great inlets on the North Carolina coast, the gateways through which the shad and herring come into our inland waters from the ocean. One by one these inlets have closed until today there isn't an inlet north |of Hatteras through Which the shad and herring seeking an in land spawning ground can enter North Carolina waters. Governor Morrison has prom ised the Fisheries Commission Hoard his wholehearted support in any practicable endeavor. He could ko even further. believes that all the waters of North Carolina should be stocked with fish and that-the state shonld have its own laboratories and fish hatcheries for the artificial prop agation of perjh, trout and bass DO stock the rivers, creeks and (-ponds of nil the state. "I'll not lb* satisfied," declares Governor i'Monisoo, "until every North Carolinian can eati North Carolina fish, and we should tind a way to make fishing a great source of recreation, pleasure and food for all the people." And, if the Scotchman from Mecklenburg doesn't lose his enthusiasm, the next session of the General Assem bly is going to hear something about fish. Tha Fisheries Commission Board on its junket with the gov ernor inspected the U. 8. Fish Hatchery at Edenton; saw the various methods employed in taking fish in the waters of the Albemarle and Pamlico sounds; visited Roanoke Island and its marsh fisheries; saw shad fisher men fish their pound nets and, at Middleton, Hyde County, saw oystermen taking oysters from the natural rock with tongs. NORTH CAROLINA'S GARDEN CAMPAIGN. Through the active cooperatlou of the Department of Education, the Department of Agricnlturt, the Board of Health, State College and other agencies, the Governor, in a proclamation issued to the people of the States baa called upon the people of North Carolina to raise more food for home consumption. He would encourage the planting of home gardens, both in cities and towns and in connection with farms, and, further, he urges the people to produce more hogs, poultry and other domestic meats. The Southern Phblie Utilities Company, through its president, has- loaned John Paul Lucas of Charlotte to the State for a month or two, and he will direct the publicity epd of the food cam paign.

First Chief Executives Bald to Have Seldom Relaxed Their Dignity, but It le Different Today. American humor as well as Ameri can disposition to take none too seri ously on light occasions the most highly placed government officials wai well Illustrated at the White Mouse the other day when baseball league magnates called on the President. "I used to be pretty good catcher," said Mr. Hardlug, In chatting of younger days with Jacob Ruppert, formerly a Democratic memlter of congress and now president of the New York Ameri can League club. "I'm sorry," said Colonet Ruppert," but we're fixed for catchers. Did you ever play the out field T" Klther in Europe or In Asia, ex changes of this sort, at least before the war, tfbuid have been regarded as quite "bad form," If not highly pre sumptuous. American President* of late have been well equipped with a sense of humor. Earlier ones lacked It, says a writer in the Louisville Courier- Journal. Neither Washington nor Jefferson nor (especially) Adams, father and son, nor Andrew Jackson was nofaMy gifted with what has since become known the earth round as "the American sense of humor." "The Father of His Country" could, and sometimes did, relax. Once, It Is re corded, he "rolled over and over on the lawn at Mount Vernon" In laugh ing at something that highly amused him. Usually, however, Washington was stern, unbending—a manner be fitting the Imperial man, the un blemished gentleman that he was. Ja%son on his death-bed, when asked was there not something he was sorry fer, answered in the affirmative, add ing that he was "sorry" lie had not hung one of his political enemies. Lincoln's humor is too well known to require Illustration. "Liberties" he took with others. Others seldoiu took' "liberties" with him. Though often the target for his own Jest, he rarely was fer Jests of others. Orant was likewise, though Orant bad a rare sense of humor, as often Is tlx: case with "silent" and apparently stoltdk men. Characteristic ot this humor of Grant's is his thrust at his friend, Roecoe Conkllng, concerning the price of a horse bought by Grant. "Isn't he a beauty?" exclaimed Orant to Conk llng. "How much did ILDU give for him 1" asked Conkllng. ~lx hundred doiiats," said Orant. "I bought him of a butcher an the avenue." "Well, Mr. President," said Conkllng, "I don't think he's worth the -money." "That's what the butcher thought, senutor," said Orant Orover Cleveland knew how to take a Joke and how to crack one. Home ot his best Jokes were unconsciously humorous. While once praising a cer tain New York newspaper that hail ardently supported him, he was asked by one of its editors what feature of the paper pleased him most. "I like It all," said Mr. Cleveland, "and especial ly this lsst column over here on the editorial page"—a column that was. made up' of "Jokes" scissored from other newspapers I When LI Hung Chang, on his visit to America, waa re ceived at the White House be was introduced to Mrs. Cleveland, at that time a rarely beautiful bride. "How many wives have you!" queried the Chinese viceroy of President Oeve lsnd. "One," said the President. Tile viceroy chuckled. Drawing near and nudging Mr. Cleveland ami ably with a gold-headed ivory stick, LI Hsag Chang said: "Oh, I know yon bare only one—here. But how many ham yoo—In the provinces 7" One of Mr. Cleveland's biographers says that few Jests were relished so keenly by Mr. Cleveland iTs Was this one. It revealed to him China more lllumlnatlngly than did all else that Viceroy Li had to say to htm. The American sense of humor Is the bridge that enables the American pe» pie to cross over dry-shod the Ile! sea that separates them froqi their Presidents—the bridge that enable* their Presidents to cross over the Itel sea that separates chief magistrates of the nation from the people. Paper *f High Importance. IL O. Wells In tils "Outline of His tory" points out that the manufacture of paper Is a question of far more consequence than printing. Knowl edge used to be transferred orally from on* person to another, or, as .Mr. Wells pats It, "*a little trickle from mind to mind." TTilnlc of the meagf-r supply of Information the world would have st that rate snd how facts would changs from all semblance to the original If passed on In that fashion. It waa the Chinese who Invented pa[x>r some two centuries B.

NEW DANCE HAS MADE HIT DR CHILD | T £LQN CO LLEGE OothamltM Taka to Importation From London, Though It Bssms Rathar a Childish Pastlms, There's a new dance stunt In town. It's the balloon dance and It's from dear old London, don't you know. It's a bit of all right, too. A few nights ago It was Introduced at the Rendezvous —one of Broad way's most exclusive supper clubs. And It made a tremendous hit, says the New 4ork World. A toy balloon Is tied to the ankle of each dancer of the fair sex and the Idea la to get through a close-fitting foxtrot or a toddle with the balloon sttll intact. That is the girl's Idea. The Idea of the men dancers Is to break as many balloons as possible without stepping out of the dance.. On a crowded floor the balloons hate about as much chance as a snowball In —well, a warmer place than New York. However, a prize is offered to the woman who can emerge from the maze of the dance with her balloon still flying. One young lady at the Rendezvous actually won the prize. But the pop ping of the colored spheres reminded one of the popping of champagne corks. Anyway, It's a great boon for the balloon manufacturers. For the dance tloors of the average torfille sanctuary are so small that the only way to keep off one's partner's balloon is to step on her fe^t —and thlkt Is not very pop ular with the fulr sex. RETURNING TO SWORD PLAY New York Children In Their Games, Saam to Have Abandoned "Mod ern Warfare." Playwrights and theatrical producers predict the return of the costume play and the swashbucklln' melodrama. But Vhe youngsters of New York seem to have realized this prophecy in their games. Wooden swords, umbrella rib dag gers and crossbows have supplanted dummy rifles and barrel stave artil lery pieces that were popularized by Uie World war. Sword play, with hickory rapiers and fragile crate-cover cutlasses seem to h,ave asserted a romantic appeal over Infantry charges and vocal "blng! bangs!" The vacant lot Is no longer no man's land, but a rock-strewn heath or a tin can infested moor, where Frankle and Johnny would "do each other In mortal combat as Spaniard and Dutchman In the lowlands." There la more realism in the sword than in the pistol, with which one must say "Blng!" Bang!" Rock piles have become castles after the fashion of the Arthurian legends and lance armed knights guard drawbridges of planks or old doors over Imitation inoats.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. One of Great City's Tragedies. An old-tline tragedy of the Central Markets, I'arLs, has been recalled by the death at an advanced age of a once rich woman, who for many years made a poor living there overturning garbage cans and selling anything of value she might be able to find there in. Her name was unknown, and for nearly half u century she was merely "Princess." Fifty years ago II was fashionable for persons of high society In Paris to pass a riotous night In the cafes and stalls of the market. On one occasion a fashionable woman, one of a gay party, was robbed of money and Jewels, persumably by her escort. Leff penniless, she refused, for reasons easily surmisable, to com municate wlUi her husbaud or her family In central France. Instead she sought employment and gradually fell Into extreme poverty. She got her nick name owing to her Invariable habit, when asked about her former life, of replying: "Ask no questions; I urn a princess from a fnr country." Smiling Porches.
