CHANGES IN STATE LAWS ARE EXPECTED PRIMARY COMES UNDER ATTACK IN N. CAROLINA Absentee Ballot Law And Turlington Liquor Act Also May Be Altered. At least three North Carolina laws are expected to be attacked and pos sibly repealed or modified by the 1933 General Assembly, as a direct resuli of the recent primaries. They are: The state-wide primary, which maj give way to the old convention system' The absentee ballot law, which ma> be abolished altogether. The Turlington liquor law, whicl may be modified in some way. The primary has had its opponent: since it was adopted some 20 year: ago, and they will now be recruited from those who have fault to fine with the recent primaries. Many citi zens think the selection of candidates for state offices is a party affair and should not be done at the expense of the state. Many contend that better men can be secured as nominees in convention, and that the primary is so expensive it is almost impossible for a poor man to make the race. The movement is apparent, even if it should lack enough support jL^eveiopments in uic icwwh ries seem to indicate the absentee bal lot system is doomed. It was adopted as an aid to soldiers absent in the ser vice and that reason has disappeared. While the last General Assembly sought to eliminate abuses which had grown up around it by stringent laws, it held fast to it, and the abuses ap parently were not completely elim inate. Buncombe county, after a hard fight, secured its repeal in that coun ty, but applying to local elections on ly. Others were refused that much let up. It may go this time. The Turlington Act, sdme 20 years old and more stringent as a state law against liquor violations than the Vol stead Act, may get some attention, as a result of the repeal plank in the dem ocratic platform and the heavy vote for Robert R. Reynolds, running on a repeal platform. The law probably cannot be re pealed, but it may be modified in some manner, as by an enactment allowing drug stores to dispense liquor on pre scription. The drug store bill was fought out in the last session and de feated overwhelmingly. It might get through the next time. Or it is pos sible that the modification of the law may take other forms, such as making the punishment for offenders less se vere. Something of this nature may be expected to bob up in the next ses sion. SEEK REDUCTION OF RATES BEING CHARGED IN CITY (Continued from page one) Business, one-party line _ 4.40 Business, two-party line _ 3.8 5 Residence, one-party line .... 2.75 Residence, two-party line_ 2.2 5 Residence, four-party line- 2.00 The rates in Salisbury are the same as those in other towns with the same class of service, Manager Garrett stat ed.

Long distance telephone calls have decreased 50 per cent. The local office has maintained the same wage scale and has established a two to four day furlough each month for employees in order to maintain the present wage scale, Mr. Garrett stated. STATE’S OLDEST PAPER REACHES CENTURY MARK {Continued from page one) occupy his dismantled office, and re sume the publication of his paper. Three years later, Lewis Hanes, Esq., of Lexington, purchased an interest in the paper. Retiring for a time from the paper, Mr. Bruner entered private life for a couple of years. But his mis sion was to conduct a paper, and sc in 1871 he re-purchased it, and The Watchman made its regular appear ance weekly until his death. At this date, The Watchman was the oldest newspaper, and Mr. Bruner the oldest editor in North Carolina. He was one of the few remaining links binding the antebellum journalist with those of the present day. The history of Mr. Bruner’s editorial life is a history of the progress of the State. He was contemporary with the late Edward J. Hale, Ex-Governor Holden, fm. J. Yates, and others of the older editors of the State. When he began to publish The Watchman, there was not a daily paper in North Carolina, and no railroads. In the for ties and fifties, The Watchman was the leading paper in Western North Carolina, and had subscribers in fifty counties. Mr. Bruner died in 1890 after pub lishing The Watchman for over fifty years. The paper was sold to the fam ily of W. H. Stewart. Mr. Stewart managed and edited the paper until :he summer of 1931. When he died :he paper was sold to S. Holmes Plex :co and E. W. G. Huffman, who now publish and edit The Carolina Watch man.

All Kinds of Bread Required For Athletes in Olympic Games Some of the thirty different kinds of bread needed to meet the requirements of the contestants in the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. THIRTY ditterent kinds ot Dreaa are required for the Olympic athletes. Housewives may be surprised at that statement, not realizing there are that many different varieties. Investigation at the bakery, however, will disclose a wide field for choice, to make the home meals more interesting and appetizing. Athletes have found it so. The world’s top-notchers know what kinds of bread they want, and the Olympic committee in Los Angeles arranged to have them all on hand. For three days the officials collected various loaves of rye, white, whole wneat, g r a n a m , pumpermcKei, schwartzbrot, sour dough and others, as samples of the requirements in Olympic Village, where 2,000 athletes from 50 nations are to be fed. These loaves were tested and sampled and given as the stamp of approval by the inspectors. One huge bakery was de signated as the official bake shop and all specimens of the 30 desired varieties were turned over to it. Bread is an important part of the athlete’s menu, according to the dieti tians in Olympic Village, as it contains a great deal of nourishment. It is also, incidentally, the least expensive of foods. “If” Kipling Had Written It Like This! "If you can see what some folk call 'depression’ As nothing but a spin of Fortune’s wheel; If you can keep your poise and self-possession No matter what you think or how you feel; If you can view a stupid situation All cluttered up with *ifs’ and 'aws’ and 'buts’ And take it at its proper valuation— A challenge to your common sense and 'guts’; If you can rise above the mess and muddle, If you can glimpse a rainbow through the clouds When Doubt and Dread and Fear are in a huddle And hope is being measured for a shroud; If you can keep a saving sense of humor For stories that are slightly inexact; If you can disregard Report and Rumor, And not accept a statement as a fact; If you can spread the gospel of success, If you can stir the spirit that instills — The latent life in lathes and looms and presses And lift the stream above a thousand mills; If, briefly you can spend an extra dollar; If you can pry the sacred Roll apart And buy another shirt or shoe or collar And act as if it didn’t break your heart; If you have faith in those with whom you labor, And trust in those with whom you make a trade; If you believe in friend and next door neighbor And heed examples pioneers have made; If you expect the sun to rise tomorrow; If you are sure that somewhere skies are blue— Wake up and pack away the futile sorrow For better days are largely up to YOU!” Author Unknown. Reduces Charity Bill By Canning Vegetables From a small garden worked with idle labor some 3,000 cans of succu lent vegetables will be saved for use this winter in feeding the indigent of Scotla/id County. In this way, the county commissioners are using the trained home agent to save on its char ity bill. The idea of a welfare garden at Laurinburg was advanced by the home agent, Miss Julia Mclver, early this past spring. Land for the garden was furnished by a local real estate dealer, fertilizer by a local broker and seed by the state council on unemployment. Prisoners from the local jail were used to cultivate the garden. fail Service Delays His Service To trance Lille, France—Sulpice Dewez, rec ently elected to thev chamber of depu , ties as a Communist, will not take his ! seat in Parliament for eight months.

Pheasant Chummy With Wild Geese Pawlet, V't.—Merritt Sheldon tells tbout the unusual sight he witnessed )n his meadow when a flock of wild jeese settled there for a rest before rheir next hop further North. During the stay, a male pheasant, filled with curiosity as to the visi tors, came strutting out of the brush and walked among the geese, regard ing them one by one. But the geese didn’t seem to mind and remained un til the pheasant’s curiosity was appeas ed and then soared away. ILLEGIBLE I cannot understand Why men grow old and die, Though folk on every hand Attempt to tell me why. They speak of laws of growth, They sing the need of death; I listen to them both— They might have saved their breath. I see the golden brow Turn to a silver cheat; I see the wrinkles plow A cheeck that once was sweet. Wherever lovely youth Turns ugly, all your wit Can never hide the truth— The hideous waste of it! And though on every hand Are books to tell me why, I cannot understand Why men grow old and die. Joan and Doug Take the.
