NORTH CAROLINA WILL RE- i
,CEIVE NO MORE FEDERAL
AID UNTIL BONDS ARE PAID UP
Washington, Aug. 29—Contributions
cfThe federai government to Tenne
ssee, North Carolina, Louisiana and
Montana are to be held up as a resuit
of the ruiing by the comptroller gen-'
oral that a state which has not paid
itp obligations to the government can
not receive its share of federal aid
T3tmts. I
The three southern states owe ap
proximately $693,000 to the federal
j^ivernment on "Indian bonds" held
us security for funds lent to them
dur'defense in the Indian wars The
L'inds are dated from 1832 to 1835.)
Hqqtana's obligation, which has been
reduced from $47,000 to approximate-^
lyCteO.OOO arises from federal service
infighting forest fires.
the principal items of federal aid
affected are those for road building.
It yias said at the bureau of public
rc.al):i that the following sums were
to jto given during the current fiscal'
year:
North Carolina $1,713,356; Louis-!
iana $1 013,308; Tennessee $1,614,766
^Montana $1,551,449.
While federai assistance in child
r^^lfare and maternity work will be
somewhat hampered by the ruling, it
was not known at the interior depart
ment whether it would stop payment
i'^j^O.OOO annually to land grand col
leges in the four states.
. The comptroller's ruling specifical
ly* prohibited payment of a $6,000
contribution to maternity and chiid
tvdffare activities in Tennessee, hut

menf departments.
It was predicted in some quarters)
that,the next Congress would he ask-j

Great Hays !n the Sixth.
Congressman Lyon's reunuiciation
of his congressing job brings to mind
the hectic period in the oid sixth dis
trict when it was two terms and out
tor the congressman. They beiieved
in rotation in congressionai represen
tation, beiieved in it so thoroughty
that no matter how conspicuous the
abiiity, nor how great the popularity,
of the sitting member it was two
times anti out with the best of them.
Neat every county had one or more
arpirants and the friends of these !
wouid combine against any effort to
break what was for the time a ruie '
stronger than iaw. Those were the
days.when conventions were in fiower j
mm a congressionai convention in!
the oid sixth was often better than
i t^gcus for those who couid listen
h&t^fsonaiiy to the frenzied oratory
and note the trickery and the trading,
and not infrequentiy the knock-down
and-drag-out accompaniments, if any
present who did not have a
persona! interest in the game
.T^ie custom in the oid sixth help
MfShateriaUy to substitute the pri
mary for the convention. Came a time
Mint. ....
when Hannibal L. Godwin won the
nomination in the sixth, it is said
that many of the political leaders
were astonished when it happened—
they were temporarily asleep at the
switch. They contented themselves
with the thourht that it was but for
four years. Hut they don't know the
vote-getting capacity of the name
sake of the illustrious warrior. When
the convention assembled at the close
of the Godwin four-year period to
name his successor the man insisted
on being bis own successor. It was a
strenuous time and the convention
broke up in a row with two candi
dates on its hands. The changers had
named O. L. Hark, of Btaden. but
Warrior Hannibai was aiso in the run
ning To avoid giving the district to
the enemy it was agreed that a com
mittee of eminent faithful from out
side should examine the facts and say
what should be done. Former Gov
ernor Jarvis, wise in the ways of
men, was the heal of the committee,
and after investigation a referendum
was reccommendcd. The primary was
held and the two term congressman
won another. He continued to do that
in the primaries which followed until
1920, when Mr. Lyon won the honor
and the emoluments. Mr. Lyon has
had three terms and enough. Progpect
is that applicants for the vacancy will
be more than enough.
Nowhere was a convention more
interesting than in the old sjxth in
the days of two-term congressmen.
The folks down that way just natur
ally found j <y in a congressional con
test. The Lyon retirement at the end
of three terms suggests the possi
bility that the tlxee term rule might
now tuke Ixdd in the sixth. They can't
find the pleasure in the primary that
was theirs in the conventions, but
the joy of the contest remains.—From
Clark's Comment in Greensboro Daily
News.

No Chance to Win Because of Pre
judice. Bigotry and intoBeranee"
Says Jurist.
Asheville, Aug. 26—"Governor A)
frcd E. Smith, of New York, is a re
markably ab!e statesman, as wet! as
politically sagacious, hut he has not
a chnncc to win the Presidency be
cause of phe "prejudice, bigotry and
intoierance affecting the public
mind," in the opinion of Judge N. A.
Sinciair, of Fayetteviiie. astute poiit
ica! observer, who is spending his va
cation? in Asheviiie.
Judge Sinclair's statement was
made in the course of an interview
wrtp the Times m which he decried
recent newspaper stories crediting
him with having ' come out whole
heartediy for Smith for President.
"Governor Smith is a man of spot
less public and private character, but
is unavailable as a candidate for the
Presidency because he has been so
misrepresented that he is misunder
stood and supposed to be merely a
politician, whereas his New York rec
ord ha; proved him a progressive
statesman of the first order,' Judge
Sinclair said.
"He is btg enough to do his full
duty it elected President, uninfluenc
ed by the church or prohibition ques-;
tions but i ant of the opinion (hat he
cannot be nominated, or even if nom-!
ittated he would lose two or three j
Southern States and could not be
elected."
Here His Memory Lives
More wonderful than any story j
that he wrote was the story of Syd- !
ney Porter's life. As O. Henry he
became known to the world as the
author of a new kind of fiction that
combined humor and philosophy in
such entertaining manner as to de
light and please the reader. Tragedy
lollowed him, as it does every mortal
man, but through it he kept a kind
ly heart and in his writings there
was visible the kindliness that could
see in every tragedy the silver lining.

Any breaking out of the skin, even

Because of its germ destroying proper

leaves the skin clear and smooth,
