The wisdom of holding the Democratic State Con
vention before the primary was plainly evidenced in
Raleigh Friday, when a large delegation was present
from all sections of the State and worked in the great
est harmony. There was no division by factions but all
candidates were abundantly represented.

The TIMES joins the many in extending congratula
tions to the News-Observer in its Golden Jubilee Edi
tion of Saturday. It was possibly the largest paper
ever published in North Carolina, containing 240 pages'
and contained reading of a very valuable historic na
ture, contributing largely to the store of historic records
of the Great Old North State. May y<?>u>coiitinue to
prosper for another Seventy-five, years. t

to go north or west. To explain
this, the speaker mentioned tbe
great resources, great economic
possibilities, extra fine soil and
great amount of electricity that

though, he said, our land may be
teeming; .with problems, we must
find out where we as individuals

As to how to secure democracy
in America, he said, we must'
solve certain problems that we
have within our own borders,
such as unemployment for both
old and young, undernourished,
underprivileged and underhoused
individuals. The speaker here re
ferred to Hitler and stated that

WARREN TON WINS UOLF
TOURNAMENT
Playing their first tournament
away from home, the Louisburg
golfers lost to Warrenton on
Wednesday afternoon by a score I
of 16 to 20-. Although Warren- 1
ton had agreed to play fifteen
matches, they , were unable to
match but, twelve of the Louis
burg players; and on account of
this, the Warrenton golf pro. very
sportsmanlike, offered to forfeit
these nine points to Louisburg
and thus make the score 25 tox20
in favor of Louisburg.
Barker Williams of Warrenton
turned in t>he best card of the af
ternoon with a score of 73.
Snooks Collier's score of 80 was
best for Louisburg. The irregu
larity of the Warrenton greens
gave the Louisburg players con
siderable trouble and made their
scores higher than usual.
The tournament which was to
bave been played in Oxford on
next Wednesday, May 29, has
been postponed until Wednesday
afternoon, June 12, in order that
the local players may take part
in the Invitation Tournament to
be played at the Raleigh Country
Club on Thursday afternoon, May
30. At that time, the ent4re
Louisburg Club is invited to play
a match tournament with the Ral
eigh Country Club, in addition to
participating in t'be Invitation
Tournament; and the Tourna
ment Committee has been assur
ed that every Louisburg man will
be matched on that occasion.
Those winning points for Louis
