North Carolina Candidates Split On Dry Law Democrats To Uphold Moist Plan Republican Candidates Will Main tain Bone Dry Stand In State Hoover And Hard Times” Will Also Be Campaign Fodder For The Democrats North Carolina democrats elected to congress this fall will be willing to Jet the electorate of the nation do what it wants to with the eighteenth amendment, but the republican can didates will allow no tampering with the constitution’s most famous a mendment. Briefly, this is the attitude of mind indicated by the statements of the various candidates in reply to an invitation sent them recently to state their views on the •ighteenth amendment and the Volstead act and to say how they would vote on the prohibition question in event they should be elected in November. The replies show the democratic party in North Carolina has. a humi dity rating of from moist to dripping while the republicans range from very dry to baked. ' Hooover and Hard Times. They indicate, furthermore, that the republicans will do or die with prohibition, while the democrats will continue with the stubborness of the donkey to refuse to paramount the wet-dry issue but will instead glee fully rub salt into the wounds of the G. O. P. by telling and retelling the sad story of "Hoover and hard times.” In other words, the poll in dicates that the democrats hold the liquor question a minor matter and the economic situation one of great est importance; the republicans vice versa., 4100 BILL IS FOUND BY NEGRO Henry (Hambone) Owen, a Brownsville negro, found a bill on the side of the road and decided he must make a purchase. So he made a 10-cent purchase at a local meat market. But he was shocked when the butcher handed __him $99.90 in change. Finally the butcher impressed on him that the bill was for $100 and not for a dol lar. But his friends and creditors didn’t take long to learn of his good for tune and shortly "Hambone” had remaining from the bill only his 10 cent purchase of bologna. It is believed the bill must have fluttered out of a tourist automobile. JOHN R. FISH, Agent Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. -207 Wallace Bpilding Phone 400 Salisbury, N. C. A Tribute to North Carolina Bruce Barton, author ot "The Man Nobody Knows," has written this tribute to North Carolina tor the "Parade ot the States” Monday night programs of the General Motors Corporation, part of an educational plan to make the country as a whole better acquainted with the individual states—their history, scenic beauty, industries and people. TO North Carolina, the jld North State, the Tar Heel State, the state whose greatness has been achieved by her own .native sons and daughters, with little aid from without ... to North Carolina, General Motors . pays its tribute. One of the thirteen original states, she has played in many fields the heroic role of the pioneer. On her soil was planted the first English colony in what is now the United States, and the first Anglo Saxon child In the New World was born. Virginia Dare was the child, and her name lingers on in our memories, though her fate is forever veiled in the mystery of the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island. In North Carolina, on the wind-swept sand hills of Kitty Hawk, the Wright Brothers flew the first airplane. The Old North State gave the nation Presidents Polk and Johnson, and from the same sturdy pioneer stock sprang Andrew Jackson. Her rugged mountains bred ruggedness in the character of Daniel Boone. Those mountains have not lost either their ruggedness or their charm. Dreamily beautiful they are . . . the Blur Ridge and the Great Smokies, “the Land of the Sky,” . . . covered with virgin forests, cut through with foaming rivers, peopled by hardy mountain folk who still preserve in their speech and customs the traditions of Elizabethan England. From Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi, an empire of fertile valleys and plains slopes down to the Atlantic, an empire boasting climate of splendid variety and an almost bewildering wealth of products. Down from the mountains come the rivers and streams to be trans formed into the magic of electric energy, and so to drive the wheels of hundreds of textile mills and the vast tobacco factories of Durham, Winston ; Salem, and Reidsville. i Up to the mountains and to the pine forests go tourists from all over our land, to find health and refreshment and delight at Asheville and Pine hurst and many another beauty spot. You, too, must go. You must ride along the famous modern roads of North Carolina, penetrating every corner of the state. You must visit Raleigh, the charming old capital. You must see Greensboro, where Dolly Madison and O. Henry were born; and Guilford Court House; the State Uni versity at Chapel Hill, and Duke University at Durham, so munificently endowed by the generosity of one of the state’s devoted sons; and the great bays along the coast where fishermen and hunters find the sportsman’s dream of happiness fulfilled. On North Carolina’s behalf General Motors extends this Invitation to the people of America, knowing that a gracious friendliness has ever been the portion of those who come within her borders. Step Into your car and go. I Go and linger. Nowhere is the past more Instructive or the present more in j spiring than in the Old North State. NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY Part IV Our Constitution and Government The first constitution o^ North Carolina was adopted December 18, 1776. This constitution provided for three departments of govern ment: legislative, executive, and judi cial. The legislative department was to make the laws. The legislative body was called the General Assem bly and the members thereof were elected annually by the people. The assembly was divided into a Senate and House of Commons. A gover nor, a secretary, and a council of seven members made up the execu tive department. Thjc judicial de partment was formed by the General Assembly by the creation of courts and the election of judges. This constitution was revised and made more democratic in 1835. The legislature was to meet every two years, and the members were to be elected for that period. The gover nor was also elected for two years. In April 1868 the constitution was again revised and this instrument with certain amendments is the foundation of the law and govern ment of today. The State Flag North Carolina was one of the Original Thirteen Colonies. The model of the flag as used today was adopted in 1885. It consists of a blue union containing in the center thereof a white star with the letter N in gilt on the left and the'letter C in gilt on the right of the star. The fly of the flag consists of two equally proportional bars, ithe upper bar red and the lower bar white. The length of these bars is equal to the perpendicular length of the union, the total length of the flag is one third more than its width. Above the star in the center of the union is a gilt scroll in semi-circular form, containing in black tjie in-_ scription: "May 20, 1775,” and be low the star is a similar scroll con taining the inscripttion: "April 12, 1776,” This first date was placed on the flag to mark the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde pendence. The second date marks the day on which the Halifax Con vention empowered the North Caro lina members in the Continental Congress to concur with the delega tes of the other colonies in declaring macpenaencc. When the National Declaration of Independence was declared on July 4, 1776, North Carolina was repre sented in the- Continental Congress by three men* William Hooper, Jose ph Hewes, and John Penn, and as such thlese men had the honor of signing the national document. The State Seal The present Great Seal of North Carolina is described as follows: The Great Seal of the State of North Carolina is two and one quarter inches in diameter, and its design is a representation of the fig ures of Liberty and Plenty, looking towards each other, but not home than half fronting each other, and otherwise disposed as follows: Liber ty, the first figure standing, her pole with cap on it in her left hand and a scroll with the word "Constitu tion” inscribed thereon in her right hand. Plenty, the second figure, sit ting down, her right arm half ex tended toward Liberty, three heads of wheat in her right hand, and in her left the small end of her horn, the mouth of which is resting at her feet ,and the contents: or horn roll ing out. In the exergue is inserted the words "May 20, 177S,” above the coat of arms. Around the cir cumference if the legend: "The Great Seal of the State of North Carolina," and the, motto, "Esse Quam Videri.” STATE SHORT IN GRAIN AND HAY The protracted drouth this sum mer has materially lowered the pro duction of all grain and hay crops even though the acreage for most crops was larger than that planted last year. "To feed its three million popula tion and all livestock, North Caro lina needs to produce fifty million bushels of corn,” says C. A. Sheffield, assistant director of extension at State College. "Forecasts by the U. S. Crop Reporting Board gives the production this year at 35,520,000 bushels or approximately 15 million bushels under the apparent needs. The production of wheat is also one million bushels short of last year and other grain crops, such as oats and barley, show a considerable de crease over 1931 yields. Mr. Sheffield states that while there were 26,000 more acres planted to hay crops in 1932 than in 1931 the indicated production is 175,000 tons less than that of last year. With this existing shortage, farmers in North Carolina must either buy feed and hay, sell the livestock, or grow some winter grain and hay. Most for your MONEY in a good laxative Thedford’s BLACK-DRAUGHT has been highly regarded for a long, long time, but it is better appreciated now than ever before. People are buying everything more carefully today. They count every penny of the cost. In buying Black-Draught, they get the most for their money, in a good, effec tive, easy-to-take laxative, made of approved medicinal plants, de pendable for the relief of ordinary constipation troubles. 25 or more doses of Thedford’s Black-Draught in a 25-cent package For Children, get pleaaant-taating SYRUP of Thedford’a Block-Draught.
