Washington, August 29. ? With Senators and Representatives and almost everybody else starting on long-deferred vacations, the ob servers In Washington are sur veying the scene and uttering pro phecies' with more apparent con fidence than for the past six months. Both the President's sup porters and his opponents are in substantial agreement on several points. Everybody recognizes now that the fundamental issue of the poli tical campaign of 1936 will be whether the nation is to go for ward along the lines of social re form, advocated by the President, or call a halt to the efforts of the Federal Government to func tion in this new field. All ob servers agree that there has as yet been no general test at the polls of public sentiment on the major phases of the President's social reform program. All agree, likewise, that the leadership of the Democratic Party, as repre sented both in the Senate and the House, is far from being com pletely "sold" on the reform pro gram, although the 74th Congress, so far, has taken its orders from the White House almost as com pletely as did its predecessor. Security and Relief Two major act? of this first ses sion of the 74th Congress stand out as embodying the -New Deal principle of Federal responsibility for social welfare. They are the Social Security Act, providing for old-age and unemployment pen sions, and the Works Relief Act, with its appropriation of $4,880, 000,000 of Federal funds to en able the National Government to give employment on public works to the nation's unemployed. The full effects of these measures are not yet apparent, but the principle behind them is clearly defined. Mr. Roosevelt's supporters are in sisting that that principle must be the major issue of the 1936 campaign, even , If it should be necessary to amend the Federal Constitution to establish the Gov ernment's right to occupy this field. The Administration's augurj are confident that on that clear cut issue of social reform Mr. Roosevelt can be re-elected, while the Republican soothsayers are equally confident that he can be beaten on any such platform. Looking ahead politically, one forecast can be made without fear of contradiction. That is that, except for the accident of death, the upper House of the 75th Con gress, to be elected in 1936, will have a Democratic majority, no matter which party wins the Pre sidency. For there are now in the Senate 49 Democrats whose terms of office do not expire until 193J) or 1941. That is one more than a majority of the entire Senate. So that even with a Republican President and a Republican House of Representatives, a Republican Administration taking office in January, 1937, would find itself handicapped from the start. O. O. P. Outlook The possibility of electing a Republican Congress in 1936 is yet merely a plaything for the statisticians, who have figured out that about 180 of the present De mocratic members were elected by majorities of 3000 or less, so that a change of 1500' votes per district would alter the entire Complexion of Congress. To con trol the House the Republicans muBt elect 116 members in addi tion to 102 seats which they now hold. Interest in Republican Presi dential possibilities has been sti mulated by the poll of Republican leaders, conducted by Robert jHk Lucas, who has been active in Re publican National Committee af fairs for years. To the surprise of most observers, Senator Borah of Idaho is ttr and away the first choice of those who have been h?ard from, out of 2,600 Repub lican Committee Chairmen, with Frank Knox a poor second. Gov ernor Landotl of Kansas, Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, Senator Vandenberg of Michigan and Her bert Hoover* trailing in the order named. Senator Borah has not only been the leading choice from the beginning, but has increased his lead with each fresh batch of returns. In the meantime, however, Mr. Hoover, as the latest and only liv ing ex-president, remains, as one of his friends remarked recently, the only Republican who can al ways make the front page when ever he says anything. ?BALD?

(M so alUtm Li, \jfa?w (Mi *nd owoai From Ingleside Miss Carolyn Lee, of Klnston, is visiting Misses Lutie and Kath ryn Foster this week at the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Foster. Miss Lutie Foster spent last week with Miss Carolyn Lee, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Davis, in Louisburg. J. B. Beasley, P. L. Foster and a number of our local young men, attended the opening tobacco sales Monday, covering two mar kets, Rocky Mount and Wilson. They report lively sales, but think prices not quite up to the open ing sales of last year. Mrs. C. H. White and children, Elizabeth and Charles, who have been visiting Mrs. White's moth er, Mrs. Lonie Dickerson, return ed Monday to their home in Rich mond, Va. Miss Gaynell Tudor, of Ansier is visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Tudor. Miss Laura Macon, Mrs. R. W. Smithwick and Miss Lucille Foster left Wednesday for a visit with Mrs. N. D. Foster, in Mathers County, Va. Miss Foster, who has been spending the summer here, goes to see her mother before re turning to her school duties. Little Miss Dorothy Weldon, of Lake View.t visited Miss Annie Waite Hunt a few days this week. A few days ago, G. O. Edwards had a valuable young milk cow, of 4 gallon capacity, ruined in a most unusual manner. The cow was tied to a small oak. From having been trimmed the tree had put out a dense growth of strong, stubby twigs, to which the animals tail was thoroughly entangled. She walked around the tree until the strain had caused the tail to become unjointed, or broken in two places. When first discovered by a small boy. he said the cow was hanging up by the tail. Her hind feet had literally cleired the ground requiring the help of four men to extricate the anima' by lifting and unwinding around the, tree. i ou i correspondent nas long been opposed to mob law, and be lieves that it is generally deplored by citizens of this county. All state newspapers were expected to eon demn the atft recently committed in our midst. It seems, however, that It was left for Karl Goerch, editor of The State, to violate the code of newspaper ethics, what ever that is, to surpass all others in his severe reflection on the citizenship of Franklin County, for the act of a few men, Com monly called a mob, composing probably not more than a dozen men. He says "that hundreds of people in Franklin County un doubtedly know the identity of many members of the mob. As matters now stand, Franklin has the unenviable distinction of be ing at the bottom of the entire list of one hundred counties so far as the, quality of Its citizenship is concerned." U' I feel that if Mr. Goerch fails to retract that part of his article quoted above, that It would be perfectly agreeable with- our citi zens If he should cease to honor this "low grade county" which he so gratuitously consigns to the bottom of the list of the-,100 good counties of North Carolina, with his distinguished presence at any time in future. Although both of these horrible crimes were com mitted within a few miles of the home of the writer he does not know the identity of a single member of the mob. and further more he does not believe that there are hundreds of people who do know, as Editor Goerch stated. Wonder if it has occurred to Goerch that he might employ dome of his brilliant talents in an ef fective manner that would help reduce the crimes that lead to lynching; also to give the couvts a few helpful pointers as to its suppression. He is a lawyer, be lieve. In this connection I submit the following clipped article from Mr. H. L. -Edens. East Lumberton, N. C: The mob spirit Is Inherent In human nature; like latent heat in material snbstances, it may be developed by friction. It Is the dangerous powder mine over which all nations are today tread ing lightly lest an explosion take place and national mob law, un | Maybe N ot Thts V'^r ? "] WUHkUP W- rmmmmmmm , ?

The just denunciations of local Jyqchings bx newspapers and State authorities seem to be of little avail. If all agencies for civic right eousness would concentrate their (efforts on the criminal class to make them feel that a heinous crime committed against an in Inocent person is a much more I horrible crime than the lynching of the brute, then reform would begin at the right place. If *to kfiow the rights of others and to fear their violation were ham mered into the people on frequent ?opcasions, results would soon show I in improved conditions. If negro preachers and teach jers, together with all others of their organizations, would pay half the attention to the preven tion of crime as they do to denun ciations of the white criminals who take the law into their own handB to wreak revenge, the color ed race would be benefited in many ways; if the white race i would be more helpful and more ?sympathetic in its dealings with negroes the State would feel ail upward swing in better relations. An organized mob is unreason able and almost as irresistible as a cyclone. My efforts disorganized mobs on two different occasions , and saved the culprits, on anoth Jer occasion I failed. Stop the first crime and there wiil be no lynch ings. SEE R. ALLEN Louisburg, N. C. Who has several GOOD TOBACCO FARMS _ FOR SALE UOOD MII.BAGK Twenty-one and three-fourtha miles to a gallon of gasoline, and 30(10 miles on 3 3-4 quarts of oil, were the records registered by a stock Chevrolet Master de luxe sedan in a certified 3000 mile non-stop economy run stag ed In California. The run was undertaken tftl learn the actual economy perfor mance of the motor car under routine driving conditions such <as encountered by the average va cationing driver. The car was sealed by the Los t Angeles deputy state sealer ofi | .? ' weights and measures. This seal-1 Ing operation included the crank-' case and the ignition. The route taken in putting the mileage on the car included a jaunt Into Sequoia National Park, elevation 8000 feet. At the op-; posite extreme was Death Valley; where the car passed through heat of 110 degrees. Iliiims in mind the fact that no fair test of a car's routine economy could be achieved without speed runs, the. driver cruised the floor of famous Muroc Dry Lake at a pace of nearly 80 miles an hour. The Chevrolet came through the hard test with no mechanical. ifficulties whatsover, registering n average economy performance , f 21.75 miles to the gailon. Vhen the crankcase seal was of-, icially broken, only thlree and hree-quarters quarts of oil were equired to replenish the supply.
