B. Morton's Hat I? In King For Senate. INTEREST AGAIN STIRRED OVER SHERIFF CONTEST Franklin's "Dear People" May Look For Some Interesting Politics In the Coming Campaign?Things are Tak ing Shape For The Fray. Like the pitcher "warming up" for the game with the usual big crowd of admiring kids trimmed and ready for their part by their "rooting" and chal lenges for their favorites, antagonist. Franklin County's politicians are get ting ready far_lhejrtanarles that are yet three months off. As the days pass By the campaign and more espec ially the contests begin to take on ?more shape and more proportions. M one time It looked is if there might be good lntet est in the Legislative ticket Individually. Now. if one is to believe what Is hca'd on the streets, the in terest will center around these two of fices collectively ard possibly call for o. line up all the way down with the ..... ??lblllty of complete tickets in the ? 'varies for all three Interests. In ? ;c0 to Dr. W. B. Morton, a well I? ?i Baptist minister and ah opto later. we will publicly ui*k^ met ? - our apologies for not mentioning him in the eligibles for the Senate. The -infct is aftlrst we did not know he was in the -raW affllirfteMifi nad informed ui that he had thrown tils hat in the rin^ ancT" entered the race, owing to ?..n^an.rs grounding the In; cldrnt, wo thou gilt th- Doctor wus-t^ ing us one of his humorous jokes, and failed to make mention of him r.i bur last article.?Therefore ve wnni 10 get history as straight as posslblo and wo talce pleasure in saying to the "dear y->plc" of Franklin County that--tke i-.ut'.u-'J li-'t I" ri"L~ h0 teels . th?t Ire >?- golag to give_snme one .1 ci-aso. The Doc tor has not given us a copy of his platform as yet but those who know him will know that he will ? jtKq the best of his time and atten tions to the Job If te is so fortunate to be elected. / While Mr. Fran* U. McKirfnc is quiet on the subject, tiehas many friends who say that he will accept the nomination to the Renate if the peo pie want him to "^present them, and i they are wide open in their optimism, some saying he will carry the county over his two opponents by a two thirds majority. Mr. McKinne b friends don't hesitate to say that if he / phould decide to accept and the people want him t6 represent them that he > will stahd for only a business legisla - 'lion. He is a "good road and school enthusiast, in fact he believes in pro gress. However 'from the smile al ways on the face of ex-Senator W. M. Person one would juige that he does not lose any sleep over the knowledge ?that-fce has a three cornered fight to - make. He is always Jolly and Inci dentally "sawing wood." He express ?. himself In confidence that the coun try people are with him and will elect him because of his antagonism to the revaluation act. the creation of the ?frTiricnt of Puhlic Welfare, tli? present method of. compliance with the com pulsory school law and many other things.' But, the Interest in this fight doesn't ~ ^stop here, if the street talk Tuesday was any indication. It was stated definitely Tuesday evening that Major Samuel P. Boddle would be a candi date against Sheriff Henry A. Kear iicyVwIt this writing we can't vouch for the correctness of this statement, hut his friends are exceedingly Jubi lant anil enthusiastic over It and claim ing-big things for hlr.i in fie prim-ir les. They are ringing Ir tht* new Idea of rotation In olTlct. and ca" i:? on the. voters to live up to the.r 'arntlon? of two yenrs ago. "that a ret ???ned p'nl dler who had seen service w?s entitled to and should have any puhlic office ho wanted." If MaJ. noddle really comes out it will mean a three corner ed fight for Sheriff as Mr. E. D. Par rlsh, of Cedar Rock, says he Is running, too, and has been assured of KlS elec tion. There Is one notable and com mendable feature about this contest so far. In all of the discussion* lhe[ TIMES man has heard or heard of no one attacks the other .personally. The friends of Mr. Boddle readily speak out their approval of the a<jmlnl8tra tlon of Sh^rifT H. A. Kearney, and In no case have vre heard It suggested that he has not done his duty In every way. Ho 1b often spoken of as the "best Sheriff Franklin County has ever had," and the same high position is main tained by Sheriff Kearney and Mr. Parrlsh, each one to all. But this seems to. be bringing about u line up that, although in its infancy, may change the complexion of the whole situation. It is possible, unless Ma dame Harmony gets to work.in a most effective way and that very soon, that it may mean the division of several households and array one against the other In such a fashion ihat two, if not three complete tickets may go to the primary for* settlement. The fire is smouldering and a little oil is liable to kindle some of the old time Frank* | lin politics. 1?rs?- >'? In the event that the oil is thrown on the smouldering masb instead of the troublous waters some of Frank lin's best political fighters are ready for the fun with their "dander up. In the latter case the "dear people" of good old Franklin are liable to be call ed on to support a tripple set of offi cers for each office. Another matter of speculation' the past week has been the possible ap pointee for Solicitor should Hon. H. E. Norris^contest Mr. Pou's seat in Congress. About the nearest sugges tion so far has been that of Mr. At wood Newell, who contested with Mr. Norris for the Sollcitorshlp in the last primaries. However should anything happen that would give a promiafe-of thisjEaesncyThere is no doubt bi^t that^ quite a little interest would spring forth over night. Although, besides ) Mr. Newell,.there are a good number -f-of good lpwvcrn in tliis?section i would do justice lo this important od ] sitlon. A friend talking the platter pests that the Governor c<mld do no i bettej* than make a section between "j'Mr. ljen T. Ho*?dcp^and Mr; Thomas' ? W. HufTtn. Htyexorossed liimself of rthc opinion I klit-Cl therof these gent I e ; men coul*Ktake up and continue the j good wdrk Mr. Norris has been accom ! pltehmg, with much credit <o tliemsel s . and satisfaction to their many : friends. r*. j The contest for Cdrtj?#?ss between j Messrs. E. \V. Pou and H. E. Nor-* i lis should it develop, promises quite an j interesting firht as both parties have I staunch friends among Franklin's most j influential and experienced fighters who hg,ve^ let out the hint that they will win. With so much promise of interest in all other offices it doesn't look exact ly right that the positions of Surveyor "fend Coroner should be overlooked. They would at least afford a contest and in all probability wnen the sum total at the ?*nd of the year was made will make about as good a percentage showing as any. . Coroner Johnson, who has held the job for two years, entering because no one else would; take it. thinks he has held It as lonjjf ^s any one should hold a public ofTice, arid suggested that he should vacate it for the further reason that ne seems to be a "Jonah" to the County as until he was elected coroner Franklin coun ty had not bad a lynching in the re collection of its J3rgggnl_ci_tlzen8 and j months. Any way it is possible that develop ments will take place in tne next week or two that will take the top off and open the 1920 campaign for Franklin in full blast. Look out Mr. Voter. It | might be dangerous to cut that tree. 8FNDAT, FER..22M), BAPTIST CHURCH. The Wake Forest Glee Club quar tette will sir>g both morning and even ing.

It owes much to one particular lawyer who, for rea sons of his own, asked Jesud to define the word neighbor?to slate specific cally Just who is one's neighbor. Jesus makes answer by picturing a situation, leaving the lawyer to draw conclusions. A man, half dead and in desperate 'need, is left lying by the roadside. Three persons pass that way: a priest, perhaps his own priests a Levite, another officer in*the church, and a stranger, a man of a different nationality. _But it remained Jrfr the stranger, the man who had ^ause to hate the race to which tbesufferer be longed, to show mercyiinto him. Havr ing stated . the c*se Jesus asked: 'Which of th^se three, thinkest thou proved nejffhbor unto him that fell among jtielvefl?" "l^romptly the law yer replied: "He that showed mercy". sonal responsibility for the welfare of others?of all othefrs who really need assistance?with the command: *'Gc thou and do likewise." ?There are many persons, even qntirfe families, in nearly every, community today in dire need. Some, oft hem are probably.by your roadside, and never before in the history of the world has a. man's roadside embraced so rvany miles. The "S. 0. S.M rings clear. It calls every man and woman physi cally able, unlesB dependent one's clai their time, to go to the aid of tljfose stricken with-influenza. It colls lou dest to those who owe their lives to the men and women who nursed them through a similar epidemic last year. It would be nothing short of base in gratitude for them to fall to show their appreciation at this time. ? So many calls come from the coun try that one sometimes wonders if hors (so cnlled) ere showing the white feather. The Re<l Cross would glad iv emnlnv women, ns nnrsps. It that were possible, but professional "nurse*; are not to be found In- small places. ^othUig *hort -of tOVE for humanity will Induce hurf V/omrji to lenve their cMUlroi^and hon>?s at fhls season niwl d?voto their time to nursing tne stciv. Not ono of those women who have giv en their time so peacrtusly to caring for the sick, clay and night, has ever received any conipensnion other-than the satisfaction derived from helping iiiose in need. A Red Cross wo'Iipv, a mother who has not spared herself "nor her means during the two epidemics, was called two days ago to minister to si family in the ttKinfcry". Slh"ft found nine per sons sick in bed. and not a menNber of the family able to wait on ti e others. The only attention they had received was from a young man in the neigh borhood. ty is needless to say cona tions there were far from sanitary. The heart of the Father suffer-. I thijjfc, when his children are blind to the needs ot their brothers, as well as for those, whose physical needs are iieglected. He condems in no uncer* tain terrts those who are indifTerent to the needs of humanity: "Depart from: me, ye cursed, - - for I was hun gry and ye*gave mn no meat: I was thirsty and ye gate me no drink, sick and ye visited me not."
