C.. ?h Hoco..ii-oiaiN matter. -- -1 The Primary Ballot That innovation known as the Australian ballot will be used in the primary on Saturday. There are certain rules and regulations about voting tliat will be made known to the voter when he offers to vote. The names of the persons to be voted for will be printed on a sheet which the election officers will furnish the voter. We have obtained from Dr. Will S. Long, Jr., Chairman of the County Board of Elections, the names of those who have filed notice of their candidacy. The following is the Democra tic list of candidates: l'or House of Representatives: Koba B. Newliu W. L. Spoon J. Dolph Long ! or Register of Deeds: William V. Winningham J. G. Tingen W. S. Harris T. O. Pender For Clerk Superior Court: Ernest II. Murray For Sheriff: Harry T. Hannah William V. Copeland Hardee J. Stockard John A. Death For Corouer: W. Ernest Thompson R. M. Troxler, M D. For Surveyor: Lewis H. Holt , For County Commissioners: W. II. Bryan Green A. Nicholson A. G. Portertield Walter Stainback E. C. Turner Loy C. Gnthrie Clyde W. Gordon Kd. L. Boswell W. C. Carter J Finley L. Williamson C. R. Love A. K. llardee Ed. R. llauford For Board of Education C. P. Albright E. J. Braxton J. J. Lambeth J. E. Sellars W. M. Brown On the Republican ticket there is but one candidate for each county office, and they will not vote ia the county primary. There is a ballot for township officers where more than one can didate has filed. Mi the congressional primary are A. F. Sams and Frank Han cock. Jr. For U. S. Senator are Josiah W. Bailey, F. M. Simmons and anoth er. For Corporation Commissioner, Geo. P. Pell and J. II. Ilolloway* The Republican candidates for U. S. Senator are Geo. E. Butler, George Pritcliard and Ivan Tuck er, and will be voted ou in the primary. The last news of the state cam paign is cheering. Unless hun dreds of observant citizens are badly fooled, there is scarcely a doubt but Mr. Bailey will be nom inated Saturday for the United States Senate. We are uot surfeited with ad miration for Bishop James Can non, Jr., but wheu he as good as told that Senate probing commit tee that, so far as his political ac tivities were concerned, it was none of their business, he was just about right. The country is tiring of inquisitions. "Painting and Whitewashing on the Farm" is the title of Agronomy Information circular No. SO now available free of charge to farmers of North Carolina on application to 8tate college. Caswell county tobacco geowers report a probable redaction of IS per cent in the tobacco acreage this year due to lack of plants and the . , campaign for more food and feed iwopa. ? ? ? The Senatorial campaign is practically over and Saturday's voting will decide whether F. M. Simmons, present ioeombant, or Josiah \V. Bailey will be tire Dem ocratic candidate for the U. S.j Senate.. It lias been an unusal campaign?the Simmons mana gers have struck at Bailey from j every angle in their effort to wring declarations; Bailey has, kept quiet and apparently un-i moved by their baiting, observ-j ing the old provdrb that "whom I the gods wish to destroy they lir.-t1 make uiad." It lias been .1 per soual attack hard to endure, hut has brought forth nothing in kind. It is Mr. Simmon's last fight and he is dying hard. Mr. White of Mebane Is Urging Economy. Below is a letter which Mr. W. E. White of Mebane wrote tha Buriington News and .sent The Gleaner a copy with request lo publish. Mr. White is a sound financier and talking on right lines, and we are pleased to publish his, views. Mr. White says: I have just read your editorial, in your issue of May 27th "We: Must Cut Expenses." I agree with you fully, thai it is absolutely necessary for our county officials, also, our board of education to ecouotnizo in every way possible. ? I agree with you that Gov. Gardner will probably go down in history as the "Economical Gov | ernor." If Gov. Gardner, with the help of the officials of our state insti-; tutions, both educational and j charitable, can reduce "0 percent, then it seems to me that our board I of educatiou and county officials can do the same. There is no one who wants to iujure our schools or to do any thing to injure our roads, both' should be kept up to their present standards. There are going to be one or two propositions that are going to be put up to our county officials very soon, both of them, no doubt worthy and if conditions were normal, I do not believe that there would be much opposition to either one of these propositions, i but under the present conditions, when the people of Alamance .county, and especially the farm ers, and 1 might also say the man iiifacturers, are now unable to pay their present taxes and they can not stand any further burdens. You only have to piek up the newspaper, published in any county in North Carolina and you will see page after page of farms and other real estate advertised for taxes. I note that a good many lands of our very best tanners in Ala mance county are advertised for taxes. This will not do, and it is simply up to our couuly officials and those of authority to begin now to economize, otherwise, the people are not going to submit to | further expenditures that can lie (averted. I note from the preen, each - wealthy counties as Wake, Dur ham, Quilford, Forsyth, Mecklen burg, lluncombe and other large counties are reducing their bud get everywhere they possibly can, and they have made some great reductions in these budgets lor the yeat 1930-31. Our board of education and our County officials, I believe, are in sympathy with the taxpayers of Alamauce county, and I believe that they are going to do every thing in the world I hat they pus pibly can to reduce their budget and to reduce the taxes. We note for the past twelve mouths that there lias been considerable re ductions uiade, and there should be more. 1 trust that the other papers of Alamauce county will fall in liue{ aud join you in uigiug our board of education and our county offi cials to do everything iu tile world that they possibly can toi reduce these burdens. Yours truly, W. E. WHITE. W. C. Carter for County Com missioner. W. C. Carter of Mebane announc es himself candidate for county commissioner subject to the action of the Democratic primary. He is a native of Southern Alamance and a Democrat all his life. He feels that he can be of service to the county and therefore Is asking' for support. His large experience In i road building fits him to help In' that line especially. ?Advt-j Rev. McKendree Long Makes Me morial Address at Providence. Last JiumJay was a perfect day and a large Haseinbly gathered at Old Pjrovidenoe church to pay a tribute of halloaed reverouce to" the memory pf those who sleep ip the oUl churchyard. The people gat he red from near aud afar to re new their devotion to the sacred shine. It is a beautiful custom,?this communing with the loved ones who tiave stepped beyond the veil,?this opening of memory's page and living over again the treasured experiences of the by gone. L'he line song service of the morning hour was a fitting prep aration for the chief eveut of the day. The President of the Memorial Association, Mr. Junius tl. liar den, presided and announced the items on the program. The time arrived lor the introduction of the speaker, the Rev. McKendree Long. Mr. Hardeu's association and acquaintance with three gen erations of the Long family fitted hiin for a task which his emotions woiiul not allow him wholly to complete, but the audience and the speaker understood. Mr. Long, of tine stature aud a countenance a hose lines indicated depth and breadth of classic cul ture, captivated his audience when lie arose. Ho had every incentive to pour forth the choicest speech?a splendid audience, the memory of liobie-souled ancestors, worthy of his linest tribute, sleeping near by. These inspired him. And he gathered together the best from the realm of literature aud wove it into a memorial chaplet for the occasion. For fifty minutes he was heard with the tensest inter est. We would not detract from the keen enjoyment afforded his audi ence by attempting to outline his address, preferring to leave the gums undisturbed in the hearts and minds where he placed them. The church services over, fam ily groups and friouds went upon the grounds for a delightful mid day meal. 111 uio eariy morning a weaiui of bright and fragrant flowers liad been placed on the mounds over the ashes of loved ones. In the afternoon a business ses sion of the Memorial Association was held, but we forego an ac count of it till our hext issue for lack of space at this time. Al amance Jersey Breeders' Banquet One of the greatest events to ever take place in Alamance caunty for the promotion of the agricultural in terest, and especially the dairy in dustry, was the Alamance County Jersey Breeders' Banquet held on Thursday evening, May 29, at 7:00 o'clock, on Melvillo dairy farm no. '?!, owned and operated by VV. Kerr Scott, county agent of Alamance. The tables were set in the new commodious dairy barn of Mr. Scott. There were more than "200 peopie in attendance despite the inclement weather. There were farmers, coun ty agents and business men in at tendance from all parte of Alamance and adjoining counties, ?.nd from various sections of the state as well. The members of the Mebane Kiwan I is Club attended in a body. Mr. K. 1'. Dixon, Principal of the Eli Whitney School, of south Ala mance acted as toastmaeter. The principal speakers of the evening were Dr. 11. B. Arbuckle, professor of chemistry at Davidson College and president of the North Carolina Jersey Breeders Association; Mr. A. C. Kimrey, extension dairy spec ialist of State College; aud Mr. Ward C. Snarr, iield representative of the American Jersey Cattle Club for North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, aud Florida. Mr. W. E. White, of the White Fnrn7tnre Company, aud Mr. C. B. Martin, of the^Durham Dairy Products Com pany also spoke briefly. All the speakers spoke mainly in the inter est of dairying. Dr. Arbuckie mixed quite a number of good jokes with Ins speech which the crowd eojoyed very much. Ia llie beginning Mr. E. C Tur ner, former county agent of Ala mance, gave an address of welcome. In closing Mr. L)ixoo, the toastmas ter, gave a brief tribute of honor to the agricultural leadership of the late Hon. R. W. Scott. The banquet was prepared by the ladies auxiliary of the llawfields I'resbyterian church of the commu nity and was splendidly prepared It could well have been called a "live-at-home" banquet, since prac I tirallv everything served was pro duced in the community. The crowd was entertained with plenty of good string-band music given by the south Alamance string band. Kveryone present seemed to en joy the occasion and went away well pleased. The banquet was held the evening preceding the Alamance Lines by Dr. Daniel Albright Long, Octogenerian. I'm so glad! I'm so glad! foi all that is^rigbt, i ,? The sun by tjay, and the "Song* In the ' : night", ? ? ? V * The companions of youth, the frieuds ' J" of ohl age, As I read Qod's dealings, on every living page. Yes, let us thank God today and to morrow, In merey He sends the'blessing and sorrow; It is never unkindness, and never in vain, His increy permitted a sorrow or pain. O Father, we can trust Thee, for days yet to be, We know they will bring us still ploser to Thee; When all tears have vanished, through Thy boundless love, We will spend our eternity in the man sions above. The foregoing lines by Rev. Dr Daniel Albright Long, 108 N. Guerry St., Florence, S. C-, who was 80 on Hay 22, 1930, were re ceived some few days ago, and well worth publishing. It reads to us iike good poetrv, regardless of what critics might say, and if it has poe tical delects they are completely overshadowed by the tine sentiment. Dr. Long needs no introduction to the middle-aged and older people of this community. lie was born and reared at the old Long homestead, about 2 1-2 miles East of Graham, and he taught and preached here until the early 80's, when he became i'resideut of Antioch College, Ohio. He idled that position for more than a quarter of a century, when he re tnrned to his native slate. In the meanwhile he was President of the American Christian Convention, the supreme council of the Christian Church of America. For more than three-score years he has held a pro minent place in his church, lie is a great preacher, orator and fluent speaker. And with all a Confede rate soldier. Hay his years yet be long in the laud, ana may they con tinue to be years of usefulness. ?Editor. Jersey breeders sale and it is hoped that such a meeting may become au annual event in Alamance.
