POETRY THAT SELLS Of all forms of writing, the least satisfactory from a stand point of dollars and cents, is poe try. Yet Edna St. Viifcent Millay, discovering a discarded manuscript which she had put aside 13 years ago, decided that she would like to see it in print. Her publishers an nounced the new volume and the first edition was sold out a month before publication. The trouble with most poetry which does not sell is that it is commonplace. Miss Millay’s great success through many years shows that there is an eager public for poetry if it possesses beauty and distinction.

Tabulation Reveals Democratic Primary Vote Has Doubled In Past Four Years A record vote of 15,000 may be expected in Rowan County, on November 8 th, according to a forecast made to The Carolina Watchman yesterday by J. Allan Dunn, County Chairman of the Young Peoples’ Democratic Club. "There is tremendous interest in the election,” said Mr. Dunn in his interview with The Watchman. "In my opinion, many people will vote this year who have not been voting in recent elections. All signs indicate that this is to be a Democratic year. Victory is in the air and Governor Roosevelt is receiving magnificent support in Rowan County.” In 1928, the Republicans polled, an average vote of approximately 7.000 while the Democratic aver age was 6,500, giving the Repub licans a majority of around 500. In the last general election, the Democrats in this county polled a voting strength of approximately 8.000 and the Republicans around 5,000. Mr. Dunn's estimate is based on 10.000 votes for the Democrats and around 5,000 for the Republi cans, making a total of 15,000 or more to be cast November the 8 th. Mr. Dunn, in making his pre diction as to the record vote fore cast, calls attention to the fact that the last four years have seen a very large increase in Democra tic registration in this county. During these four years the De mocratic election ivote has been nearly 2000 greater than the pri mary vote, and it this increase holds true in the present election, the Democratic candidates should leceive approximately 10,5 00 votes each on November 8 th., since the primary vote this year averaged about 8,500. Mr. Dunn also call ed attention to the fact that the ast primary vote was greater than any general election vote ever cast in this county for the Democratic ticket, and cites the following facts: Democratic Vote 1928 primary _4360 1928 general election —6201 Increase over primary — 1841 ’ i: ■ 1930 primary _5718 1930 gen. election _7731 Increase over primary _ 2013 1932 primary ..._-—8469 1932 gen. election (estimated) - 'll 0,3 96 It will be noted, according to Mr. Dunn, that the primary vote of 1932 was nearly double that of 1928. The increase of the general election vote over that of the pri maries of 1928 and 1932 indicate that the 1,927 more Democrats vote in the elections than in the primaries. Should this increase be had in the present election over the last primary, the Democratic tick et should poll about 10,396 votes in Rowan County on November 8th. Since 1928 the Democrats registration has greatly increased in the 33 precincts of the county. PLANT AT FULL CAPACITY Syracuse, N.

GOOD MORNING LIFE Life is only a tree Sighing in the wind, Only a bird - Praising the dawn, Only the fallen petal Of a snowy rose, Or the strains of a violin On a hill at sunset. Life is only the scent Of a rare perfume, Only the soft "cooing” Of a dove or a baby, Only the majestic throb of an organ In an ancient cathedral, Or the velvety pages Of a well-loved book.

Father Iniured In Celebrating Return to Job •S Philadelphia.—It was almost like •. scene from "A Christmas Carol” in the two-room flat where Joseph Howard and his wife, Katherine, and their eight children have lived. "Joe” lost his steady job two years ago. After twenty-four months of struggling to make ends meet, Howard was to begin steady work as a painter. Everybody was happy. There was to be a real Sunday dinner to celebrate the occasion. The child ren frolicked in the front room with their father, while mother, out in the kitchen-dining room, prepared biscuits. It was to be that kind of a dinner—biscuits and everything, something they hadn’t had for a long time. Getting the biscuits just right was pretty difficut because the gas had been turned off. They were baking on a little oil stove placed in the oven of the gas stove. It was tedious wo*k, but Mrs. Howard didn’t mind. Humming happily, she started to set the table and asked "Joe” to take a loow at the biscuits. As Howard opened the oven door, an explosion burned him severely about the face, arms and body. It put a sudden stop to dinner and celebration. He is in a hospital with a chance to live, but apparently no chance for that steady job that was going to make dinner with biscuits a part of life for his children.
