WASHINGTON LETTER (Continued from page one) ers that Smith would certainly be nominated on June 28 or 29 next. From Smith himself came no word. From his host of loyal, ardent sup porters came only contemptuous mutterings against those who would vote for or against an upright man because of his religion. The wet or-dry phase of the opposition to Smith was placed on a different' bas's, that of honest difference of opinion. There were developments however, that seemed Jto confirm, in a, way. the suspicion that AL Smith was grappling with his greatest problem. Right on the heels of these reports there came an announcement from the camp of Senator James A. Reed. The Missouri orator opened head quarters in a Washington hotel from whence came the word that there would be no pink tea business about his campaign in the future. Reed, said the initiated, is tired of being considered A1 Smith’s heir, a sort of Crown Prince to the “Sidewalks’’ :>f New York” to take over the es tate when—and if—the Governor checks out. The Missourian’s friends stoutly denied that this move had any con nection whatever with reports that Smith contemplated withdrawing from the race. But —suppose Smith should withdrwa! Who then would have the start on the rest of the field but Missouri’s favorite son? Reed’s campaign lies as heavy on the stomach of the drys as that of A.l Smith. Indeed, if there be any distinction. Rend would be even more indigestible. Was it not Reed that grilled Wayne Wheeler? Was it not Reed that ever ied the wets in the I Upper House And who, but Reed, has been ever around the corner to meet, and try to thwart, the drys in their every move? And does not Reed, even as A1 Smith, stand ready to strike the rock for political ex pediency and command it to give forth light wmes and beer? So argue the drys. And inciden tally, those self-same drys ear-mar ked the Smith withdrawal reports with a smudge of confirmation by postponing their contemplated na tional rally at Washington this week. It was set originally for Jan uary 26, as exclusively published in these columns, but now it is off un til February 28. Why? The drvs assert that it was almost impossible to get so many prominent leaders together on such short notice. That undoubtedly is true, for the meeting was called On relatively short notice. Its postponement, however, was well timed with the Smith withdrawal rumor. On the Republican side, the Hoo ver campaign continued to gain mo mentum in the East, according to the claims of its leaders, and is now j being promoted with the aid of men j who know well how to handle such things. New York leaders were still, reported to be standoffish, so a Hoo ver committee was organized to work there. Elsewhere the Hoover, forces were busy. They work best 1 without brass band accompanient, so | for the time being- there was little, surface indication of the intense ac tivity in the Commerce Secretary’s, behalf. Low den of Illinois is opening a Washington headquarters and is pre paring, it is said, to put more pep and ginger into his campaign, urtis of Kansas got a letter from Senator Borah, outstanding in dry ranks, wanting to know where Curtis stands on prohibition. The Kansan answer ed with one of the dryest of bone dry creeds. A Washington paragra pher commented that if his reply did not satisfy Curtis was prepared to spit cotton. Less conspicuous, but hardly less efficient, was the quiet campaign opened, under the skillful leadership Carmi Thompson of Ohio, for Senator Frank Willis. Watch Wi’- I ’is for the future. If there should develop a close race at the Kansas City convention. Willis may repeat he Harding feat. The Ohio Senator >s bone dry, handsome, vigorous, a the 1 ess and efficient campaigner. He l : s doing little talking now. Congressional activities were eclipsed during the week by the political developments. These acti vities. however, included prepara tions for what promises to be a red hot Senatorial inv^st : gation of the way the electric light end power in terests, and other utilities, have rear ed their mammoth financial struc tu™ of recent ve c rs There have beo n vigorous efforts on the part of this vroup to have tfce attempt at investigation shelved. Many reports have circulated in con sequence. One was to the effect that such an investigation would threater the nation’s financial struc ture. It seamed silly on the face. What have the utilities don«. it was ! naturally asked, that should cause snet- apprehension? The reaction seemed to he to find out the truth about the utilities. The facts can hurt no properly con ducted business, it was argued, and ; f the business hasn’t been run right th«n a little light on the facts will kill off abuses set it on the vip-ht course. Hence indications J pointed to an investigation at an j early date. The Parent Teachers association | of Pittsboro school and community will meet Friday evening. February j 3 nt 7:30 p. m. at the school audi ; torium. A' miscellaneous program, compos ed of regular school activities will be given. This is the first meeting of the new year. A full attendance is c;r p°cted. Everyone is cordially invit ed. CUR CLASS MATE i It w T as with much sorrow that the class mates of Warren Norwood lcr.ired of his death. In all of our yeans in school we have never ex pel .enetd the sadness and gloom tha. was cast over the entire school as \ hen nis v.eath was reported. Marren uas popular and well liked by h.s teachers and fellow students. We attribute his popularity to his inmate qualities of a gentleman. He was quiet, studious, manly and in every respect a perfect gentleman. Although he has been taken frerri us, we feel that the good influences set in motion by his short life will be benefit to his fellow class mates. The school authorities inform us that Warren would have had little trouble in receiving his diploma at the end of this scholastic year. In expression of our sympathy and love for Warren the Senior class is sending a wreath of flowers to be placed on his grave. In addi tion to the senior class wreath, two other wreathes are being sent —one from r the hjgh school faculty and one from the Bth and 9th grades. C. C. HAMLET, Pres. Senior Class. EUBANKS-JOHNSON Mr. John Eubanks and Miss Min nie Johnson were married here by ’Squire Lysander Johnson Saturday afternoon. The ceremony took place in the register of deeds’ office. A number of friends . witnessed the ceremony. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Hezekiah Eubanks of this town ship. He is employed at the Cedar mill and is a fine young fellow. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs Foy Johnson of Hickory Mountain township. The young couple will reside with the grooms’ parents, at least this year. KIMBALTON NEWS Jessie Justice and A. V. Brad shaw were business visitors here last week. Carl Black of Philadelphia brought his brother from California on a hunting trip to Oakmont Shooting club last week. Zeb Ferguson had a "wood-chop ping Thursday. Mr. J. A. Johnson has been haul ing lumber from Casey Jones’ saw mill to Lacy Short’s place. They are getting things in shape to begin rebuilding the home which was lost by fire. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Brewer and little Sarah and Mrs. Russell spent Sunday with Mrs. Russell’s mother and sister in Ramseur. Mr. Weaver has been on the sick list for the past week but is expect ed to be back at school this week. Some of the boys have been fish ing these cold days. They caught twelve fish the first day—they have a nice place on Bristol Lake. Miss Nona Ferguson has been ill but is a great deal better now. In usinp- lime under tobacco to control sanddrown and to improve the quality of the leaf, it is well to remember that only the magne sium limestone should be used for this purpose. The stand of oats has been cut at least 50 per cent in some coun ties due to the recent freeze. Some farmers plan to overcome this loss by planting spring oats in February. NOSTRUMS AND QUACKS i Fake cure-alls still abound on druggists’ shelves, and to our credit be it said, they remain three longer than they would have done fifteen years ago. Our people are learning better than to trust their health to dangerous experiment—the experi ment with bottled guesswork. At present the radio seems to be favorite instrument of the charla tan; he can reach the patient with his oily tongue, his persuasive voice —his glittering promise, and, always for the fee in advance! Our enter prising broadcasters, perfectly will ing to get “overhead” expenses, seem to take on the vast' army of peddlers —even the evil propaganda of those who prey on the sick and afflicted. The listening sick man can pro tect himself, if he will exercise corn con sense and reasonable business sagacity; the following suggestions may be helpful: (1) No really capable, honest physician or surgeon advertises, ov er radio, or by any other method; he doesn’t need to. (2) All quacks advertise, because their cash receipts depend upon the number of people who do not know them, that they can inveigle; their former dupes are no more profitable to them. (3) If you have a chronic disease, and hear an alluring proposition over the radio to cure you, write to your State Board of Health for re liable information before nibbling at the bait. (4) The quack and charlatan do not affiliate with state or county medical societies, for the ample rea son that those societies have nothing to do with crooks; the quack is not trusted by life insurance societies— in fact, the radio charlatan is the fin est fellow on earth, to let alone; your pocketbook and your physical well being are not safe in his hands.
