Wife Shot
Last Saturday Deputy Sheriff
Ralph Hobby went to Durham
and brought back Henry Fahon,
a negro, and lodged him in jail
here charged with shooting his
wife at her home in Williams
township. A preliminary trial
was held Saturday and Faison
was put under a bond for his ap
pearance at the next term of the
criminal court, and he will likely
appear as he failed to give the
bond and was locked in jail.
It seems that on the afternoon
of the 19th of May he told his
wife that he was going to Fay
etteville. After leaving home
it is said he borrowed a gun from
a neighbor. That night (Satur
day) some one shot his wife
through a window.and when Fai
Fon heard of the shooting Jie went
back home and took his wife to
Durham for treatment, and while
there he was arrested.
The woman was not seriously
hurt, her back being peppered
with bird shot The cause of the
shooting is not known.
Compared to the Weather
A Pittsboro working man, who
generally turns over his pay en
velope to his wife, compares his
wife to weather conditions, when
he fails to turn over all his mon
ey. He says it works this way:
Sunday Threatening.
Monday Almost freezing.
Tuesday Still stormy.
Wednesday Moderating.
Thursday Clearing off.
- Friday Warm and clear.
Saturday Gets pay envelope
Lovely. If not v
Sundays-Fearful storm.

A. Hoke will be renominated to
succeed himself as supreme court
judge. For the place now held
by Judge Brown, who has de

A Great Record
North Carolina measured up
splendidly in the number of dis

armies in France and won 613 D.
rS. C's; North Carolina furnish
ed 73,000 men and won 173 D.

first among the states in the
number of men furnished but
seventh in the number of D. S.
C. winners.
The 20th division, composed of
troops from North and South
Carolina, Tennessee and the Dis
trict of Columbia, is credited with
an even dozen medals of honor,
the highest award in the gift of
the nation, which is three more
than any other division received;
and the 30th also won 307 D. S.
C's. The next divisions in order
of honors were the 2d, 1st and

left in the local ' union sta

Hanging in the Balance
Western civilization hangs to
day in the balance. Every gain
that the race has made is threat
ened with destruction. Only a
thin line seDarates prance and
England and Italy from the men
ace of barbarism. Upon our na
tion may devolve the responsibil
ity of keeping the torch aflame.
Upon the trained intelligence,
the clarified insight and the dis
ciplined will of our people in all
likelihood will depend the fate of
the wOrld in the decades that are
to come. First, last and all the
time it is an educational problem.
It is your problem and my prob
lem; your duty and my duty.' fit
no time in the history of our pro
fession has the need for devoted,
consecrated and united action
been so imperative as it is today.
Let us stand shoulder to should
er with unbroken ranks and see
the battle through to glorious vie
tory. Exchange.
Despite recent reductions in
prices, little relief from the gen
eral reign of high prices is seen
by the federal reserve board.--- '

N in Company With a Number of
the State's Greatest Leaders
and-Statesmen
The state has shown its gratitude by givirg to a number of
these conspicuous leaders the highest offices m the gift of the people
Aycock, Governor, . j
Simmons, U. S. Senate.
Overman, U. S. Senate.
Glenn, Governor.
Kitchin, U. S. Congressman
and Governor.
Craig, Governor
Page,. U. S. Congressman, 14
years.
MORRISON, the Thanks of the
People.
As a clear thinker on public
questions, he is without a supe
rior in North Carolina. ,
As an orator he probably has
no equal since Aycock.
As a bold champion of whathe
believes to be right, regardless
of consequences to himself, he is
unsurpassed. .
He has been one of the guiding
hands in framing the policies of
the Democratic party in North
Carolina, which have brought us
such marvelous prosperity.
You can always tell whereMor
rison stands on every public question.-
For more than twenty years he
has devoted himself to public af
fairs and . to upbuilding North
Carolina, without asking for po
litical office.
Morrison has given more time
and thought to public questions
than any other man of his age in
the state.
Morrison is a candidate for gov
ernor in response to the demand
of thousands of the solid and
clear-headed farmers and busi
ness men, who realize that the
times demand a strong man.
He was originally opposed to
woman suffrage, and his record
in the white supremacy campaign
is sufficient to guarantee that he
will safeguard the state against
nesrro women voters.
He has declared himself in fa
vor of keeping down taxes and
Vote for Morrison. Make North Carolina Safe for Democracy
Even some of the younger group
of Democratic leaders have been
generously rewarded by continu
ance in high office.
North Carolinians are not un
grateful, and the time has come
when they will pay their debt to
the statesmen of 28 years of val
iant service to the Democratic
party of the state. Public opin
ion is moving like a tide in sup
pert of Cameron Morrison
arid for the following reasons it
cannot be swept back:
... - -
constitutional amendments to that
end
He is in favor of a wise revis
ion of the revaluation act. .
He has declared himself in fa
vor of universal education and
better pay for teachers.
Morrison has delared for asci-?
entitle system of good roads to
connect the various parts of the
state. .
Morrison is heartily in favor of
local self-government for towns,
cities and counties. v
He is opposed to class legisla
tion of all sorts.
Morrison's record shows that
he is free from all control by spe
cial interests.
He is opposed to socialism in
all form, and to the socialization
of business by whatever name
called.
- He has given years of thought
to the development of country
life, and one of his great aims
will be the improvement of rural
conditions.
He is a wise, generous, expe
rienced Democrat, qualified in ev
ery way for the great office of
governor.
His friends are rallying to him
by the thousands. His manag
er's office is besieged every day
with requests for him to spesk.
He is growing stronger every
hour. If nominated, as he will
be, he will meet his Republican
opponent, and no Democrat need
fear the result.
