DRYS TO DRAFT
WM. G. M‘ADOO
The Record’s Washington Bu- j
reau Again Makes a Scoop
—McAdoo Will Run For
Drys The Hoover-Willis
Battie—Other Capital News. |
(By Wm. P. Helm, Jr., Washington
Correspondent of The Record.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Here
is the biggest piece of news of the
1928 political campaign to date:
The united dry organization of the
United States have decided to draft
William G. McAdoo to oppose A1
Smith for the Democratic nomina
tion at Houston. There have been
numerous secret meetings at which
this policy has been arrived at.
Mr. McAdoo, who deadlocked with
Smith in 1924, over the nomination,
will consent to run again, notwith
standing his withdrawal from politics
a few months ago. That is, he will
consent to run if the drys are able
to show him a strong and vigorous
backing in his behalf.
Friends of McAdoo say he step
ped aside recently in order to af
ford his political arch-enemy, Smith
of New York, an opportunity to do
likewise. Smith has not done so,
although he has had withdrawal un
der consideration for a month. The
fact that Smith is still in the race
the drys argue, alone would justify
McAdoo in entering it again himself.
Coupled with a nation-wide dry
demand, the circumstances will be
such, say the drys, as to convince
Mr. McAdoo that his service again
are required to prevent the nomina
tion of a wet.
McAdoo probably will deny any
intent to run. Time will tell, how
ever, that your correspondent’s in
formation is correct. Incidentally,
the story is told exclusively and for
the first time by this correspondent.
Outside of this development, the
chief news comes from Ohio where
Hoover and W r illis are in bitter
strife for the Buckeye States 51
delegates to Kansas City..
Seconds in command are directing
the fight in both headquarters. In
the case of Willis, the leader is Car
mi Thompson, who but lately inves
tigated the Philppines for the W r hite
House. In the case of Hoover, the
following more or less heavy artil
lery from Washington is taking an
active part:
Hubert Work, M.D., secretary of
the Interior at $15,000 a year, for
mer Postmaster General, former
President of the American Medical
Association, reported to be the All-
Highest of Hoover generals.
Walter F. Brown, assistant secre
tary of Commerce at $7,500 a year,
former Bull Mooser, late of Toledo;
■ex-chairman of a committee that
tried to reorganize the governments
departments for President Harding
in active command with another Ohio
Brown, Col. That, of Columbus.
David H. Blair, Commissioner of
Internal Revenue at SIO,OOO a year,
is helping to line up the Southern
delegates to Kansas City.
Ogdon Mills, Under-Secretary of
the Treasury at SIO,OOO a year, one
time Representative from a New
York district: reported to be ac
tive in persuading* New York that
Hoover’s the man.
William Donovan of Buffalo, as
sistant to the Attorney General at
$9,000 a year, one-time federal dis
trict attorney at his home town;
helping Mills.
Seymour Lowman of New York,
unconfirmed assistant secretary of
the treasury $7,500 a year in charge
of prohibition work; said to be help
ing Mills and Donovan.
Ephriam F. Morgan, solicitor of
the Department of Commerce at $6,-
000 a year, one-time goernor of-W.
Virginia; reported active in lining
up West Virginia.
These officials, down on the fed
eral pay roll for somewhat more
than $5,000 a month, are the lead
ing Hoover advisers and are devot
ing their political talents and some
of their time to promoting the
Hoover boom.
In other camps, the Reed boom
showed greatest activity. Senator
Jim Reed of Missouri was off on a
swing through Texas, Oklahoma, Col
orado, New Mexico, Arizona, Cali
fornia and other States where, it
was hoped, his silver tongue would
win converts. Lowden forces inten
sified their work, West hnd South,
albeit without publicity. A new
boom, for Newton D. Baker, Wood
row Wilson’s secretary of War, was
launched by E. T. Meredith of lowa,
himself a potential dark horse for the
Democratic nomination.
Locomotive engineers and fire
men in Pennsylvania started work
for Gifford Pinchot for the Senate.
Mr. Pinchot said good-naturedly it
was without his consent. Charles D
Hides at Albany, addressing a Lin
coln Day dinner, again declared that
Coolidge was the 'man of the hour
and should be drafted, willy-nilly.
Here in Washington, congress has j
swung a few clubs on its own ac- j
count. Amid charges that a power- (
ful electric lobby was working at the >
Capitol, the Senate passed over to
the Federal Trade Commission the
task of investigating che public util
ities. ft directed, however, that the
hearings should be public and that
the Commission should report to con
gress every 90 days. The Senate
decided to investigate the perennial
coal strike in the Middle West; and
a Senate committee (the agricul
tural) reported for favorable ac-
Uon on that venerable favorite, the
. McNary-Haugen bill, as the best ao-

DAIRYING PAYS
A. R. WEBSTER
Monthly Check for Milk From :
12 Cows Totals Well
Over S2OO
-1
That dairying is becoming an es
tablished industry in Chatham is ev
ident; from the continuance of sev
eral milk and cream routs in the
county; and that it pays those who
have developed the technique is ill
ustrated by the fact that Mr. A. M.
Webster received a check for $271
for the milk from 12 cows for 30
days.
We have not seen Mr. Webster’s
bill of expenses, but even counting
the maintenance of each co w at $lO
a month, the hrdlununununununun I
cash. In addition, he has an amount
of manure that is worth a consid
erable sum. Moreover, he has the
opportunity of raising valuable ani
mals that will soon, in view of the
demand for good cows, be very valu
able. We understand that the dairy
men of the county are rearing the
choice heifer calyes.
Too, it is not t> be forgotten that
Mr. Webster makes considerable of
his feed and thus markets it at
home, and the rate of $lO a month
per cow would mean at least the
market price fcr his feed products
right at home.
He sells his milk, Mr. Shiver in
forms us, for 37 cents a gallon.
Here is a man that is not only
making money when man yfarmers
are at a dead expense, but is in line
to make his farm fertile and much
more valuable.
Think upon these things.
NEGRO SERIOUSLY
WOUNDED IN ROW
Lucien Stedman was placed in jail
here Saturday on the charge of the
shooting and seriously wounding
Thomas Cook, a negro youth of 20.
Cook was taken to a Durham hos
pital for treatment. Stedman was
arrested by Officer Lacy Johnson,
though the man was on his way, he
professed, to Pittsboro to surrender
himself.
The shooting grew out of a fam
ily fuss, it is stated. Stedman, who
is 56 years of age, claims that the
shooting was in self-defense.
Cook was shot in the hip. The
load passed through the body, mak
ing a very serious wound.

The bill carries the equalization
fee and other features disapproved
by President Coolidge in a previous
veto. It would provide a revolving
fund of $250,000,000 from the trea
sury.
The Senate also ordered an in
quiry into alleged manipulation of
cotton prices.
In the House, the annual fight
was staged over the passage of the
bill providing moneys to enforce the
prohibition laws. The prohibition
bureau gets $12,790,000 and the
Coast Guard $28,640,000. Not all
of the latter will be spent in pro
hibition work, however. The House
naval affairs committee continued
its hearing on the big-navy program.
Presbyterians representing their
Board of Foreign Missions and del
egates from the World Alliance for
~ o
International Friendship protested
that the building of a great navy
would be a step toward competitive
armaments again. President Cool
idge let it be known that he would
not insist on all the craft being
built and might be satisfied with 25
cm sers only. Secretary Wilbur, at
Indianapolis, decried attempts to
magnify the cost, saying that the
entire $740,000,000 contemplated
ma S $10,000,000 less than the coun
try spent for candy last year. It
may develop a slogan—which would
von rather have, candy or a navy?
The TT nuse flood control committee
disregarded the President’s program
and reported out an elaborate mea
sure which would place the entire
cost of the program on the federal
; treasury. Uncle Sam also would
j have entire responsibility for doing
, the iob. This would save the States

Lespedeza Acreage
Is Growing Rapidly
Mr. Kirby Visits Our County
and Advises Greater Grow
iiL of Alfalfa
Lespedeza or Japan clover seed,
totalling 5000 pounds have been
bought by Chatham county farmers
during the month cf January and
the first half of February. A num
ber of other orders have been sent
in on which deliveries have not been
made as yet. As was announced
some weeks, previously, a campaign
for 1000 acres in Lespedeza in the
county was begun, and the half way
mark has bedn reached and passed.
Orders are still coming in, and it
is hoped that by the first of April,
the 1000 acre goal will have been
reached.
The writer has read with much in
terest in this week’s Progressive Far
mer, the story of fertilization for
cotton as practised by the State’s
Master Farmers. In every casfc,
large amounts of high analysis fer
tilizers were used. Farmers in this
county should observe this with in
terest. The cost of producing cotton
can be materially reduced, by
fertilizing cotton heavier on smaller
areas. The counly agent will be glad
to advise any farmers interested in
the proper analysis and amounts of
fertilizer to use under cotton, corn
and other crops this spring.
Mr. S. J. Kirby, pasture specialist
from State college, assisted the agent
in pasture and clover work in the
county this wee 1 :. Mr. Kirby was
especially impressed with the possi
bilities for growing alfalfa on the
defep red soils of our county, and
the adaptation of lespedeza to any
of the soils. Speaking of lespedeza,
Mr. Kirby stated that the use of this
legume as a soil improving crop has
raised the average of corn produced
in Union and Anson counties 10 to
20 bushels per acre. He also stated
that in many cases, he has observed
a yield of corn doubled per acre in
comparison with acres where this le
gume was not used. Mr. Kirby stat
ed further that on moderately good
land, excellent cuttings of hay have
been made with lespedeza.

ONE SENATOR OUT OF
FOUR A MILLIONAIRE
W r he,n the constitutional amend

States senators came into being it
was confidently asserted that the
senate would cease to be what it had
been charged with being—a million
aire’s club.
„ But a checkup today on the finan
cial ratings of the members reveals
that about one-fourth are in the mil
lionaire class, some of them in the
class of multi-millionaires; that at
least another half of the members
are so comfortably fixed that they
need not worry about the remaining
'one-fourth are of the ideally “poor”
type predicted by the advocates of
the direct primary when it was put

Could Buy Capitol
Twenty-three members are eligi
ble to the senate millionaire club.
Their aggregate wealth is estimated
at several times the value of the
capitol and the senate and house of
fice buildings. In an emergency
they could provide the funds from
their own pockets to run the senate
almost indefinitely.
Whether Senator of
Michigan, who made his start with
Henry Ford, or T. Coleman du Pont,
of Delaware is the richest of the sen
ators is a question. , The general
opjnion in the senate is that the
Delaware member tops the list.
Senator Reed, of Missouri, has a
large fortune. Most of his friends
rate Senator Deneen, df Illinois as a
man whose fortune runs into seven
figures. Senator Capper of Kansas
with his newspaper properties, has
piled up several millions and is the
only editor in the senate who holds
that distinction. Most senators rate
Senator Smoot, of Utah, as a mil
-1 ionnaire, though he professes that
i since he has been in the senate he
has not been able to lap up a cent.

Uncle Aaron’s home is about two

WHY TUITIOIfFEES
MOST BE CHARGED
Supt. Thompson Explains the
State of County . School
Finances
Mr. Editor: *
Since there has been some com
plaint in regard to charging tuition
for students who do not live in lo
cal tax districts, and also as to the
amount of tuition, I would like for
the public to know just why we are
charging tuition and also how we
arrived at the ajnount to charge.
In the first place we have to run
our high schools for a term of not
less than eight months in order to
remain on the accredited list. The
county can maintain these schools
for a term of only six months; there
fore the other two months have to
be financed by local taxes or tui
tion. So you can see at once that
it would not be fair for the people
who do not pay the local tax to re
ceive the same benefits from school
as those who do. Then in addition
to that in some of our high school
districts we have not enough local
tax to run the school for two months.
Therefore you can see that it is a
matter of charging tuition or clos
ing the school.
Some people have told me that
seven dollars per month w T as unjust
and unfair; but seven dollars per
month is not enough to pay the
teachers’ salaries and running ex
penses of the school, not to mention
one single penny for the building
which is paid for by special tax on
tRe district. The salaries of our
high school teachers 111 all the schools
of the county for one month amount
to exactly four thousand seventy-two
dollars and eighty-five cents. We
have, enrolled in our high schools
five hundred and eighty nine. Thus
by a matter of simple division for
teachers salaries alone it would cost
six dollars and ninety five cents per
month, not to mention any fuel,
janitor’s salaries or any kind of run
ning expenses of the school, which
when added would make the actual
cost of running expenses more than
seven dollars per month for each
child.
The State Board of Education has
said that the first six months of the
school term should constitute the
free school term. The County Board
of Education has no control over
that matte? whatever. So if the
school has been running six months
the tuition will apply to your chil
dren the last two months, whether or
not they attend the first six.
have tried to make the position of
the Board of Education plain in this
matter; but if I have failed to do
so please write me or I will be glad
to go over it in person with you.
Very truly yours,
W. R. THOMPSON,
Supt. Schools Chatham County.
WHAT ARE THE TWO
WORDS THAT SPELL SUCCESS
There are mapy words, but here
are two indispensable ones: Prepa
ration and perseverance.
Lincoln said: “I will study and
prepare myself and some day my op
portunity will come.”
This was Lincoln’s faith in prep
aration. As a candidate for pub
lic office he was defeated several
times, but he ‘held firmly to his pur
pose and became President. He
backed up his prepardness by his
persistence. v
preparing himself. By resoluteness,
reliance and determination he gives
another illustration of special know
ledge and sterling pluck. For look at
what he accomplished all alone.
Henry Ford has spent his years in
study and preparation, has had the
courage to stick to the finish.
You must know your job, then
have the patience, the pluck, the per
sistency to complete the job.
First: Improve yourself. Second:
Improve your opportunity.
Worth-while success in any line
demands that you have the necessary
training, then the unwavering sense
to stick.

CHATHAM JURY
FOR WAKE CASE
Venire of 100 Chath ami tes
Drawn For Flogging Case
Being Tried in Raleigh
A hundred Chathamites had an un
expected visit to Raleigh yesterday
(Wednesday) called thither as a
venire from which a jury for the
trial of Dr. Hester and nine or ten
others on the charge of flogging a
one-armed iherchant* Dolly Jones,
and a negro more than a year ago.
Messrs. E. Lloyd Tilley, assistant
clerk of court of Wake, C. L. Hay
nes, chief deputy sheriff and Brant
ley Womble of the counsel for the
defense, appeared cm the scene here
Monday afternoon with an order
from Judge Harris, whn is trying the
case, for the Sheriff and Register of
Deeds to have the names of 100 men
drawn from the box in the usual
manner. Mr. Womble represented
the counsel for the defense at this
drawing and Mr. Tilley the state.
The trial was set for Wednesday,
hence there had to be much scurry
ing to and fro for the Chatham offi
cials to summon 100 men from all
sections of the county. Unfortunate
ly, it was not possible to lay hands
on Sheriff Blair immediately, and
the work of summoning the venire
could not get under way as early as
it might otherwise have done.
It seems that there would be no
way for a man whose name was
drawn to get an excuse except in
Raleigh. Hence, it is safe to say
that the most of the hundred were
there Wednesday morning in time to,
answer to their names. As The Rec
ord is printed Tuesday night, it is
impossible for us to report the names
of the dozen men chosen for the un
pleasant duty.
This case has been up once before,
or at least other defendants have
been tried and acquitted. The whole
bunch are to be tried together this
time. As Chatham has had no flog
ging during the several years of
rampageous conduct on the part of
hooded hoodlums* it would seem that
the court came to the right county
t oget a jury unprejudiced in the
premises.
The defendants have an able corps
of attorneys, including R. N. Simms,
J. C. Little, C. A. Douglas, A. R.
House, T. W. Ruffin, and Brantley
Womble of Raleigh, and W. P. Hor
ton, of Pittsboro, who is found use
ful in the selection of the jury, and
who could show the Raleighites
something about making a speech
for the defense if they <would give
him a chance.
Solicitor Brassfield will be assist
ed by J. H. Pou and W. B. Jones, of
Raleigh, and probably by a Pittsboro
attorney. Mr. Tilley suggested the
possibility of Mr. Siler’s assisting the
State, but that matter was determ
ined too late for reporting in this
issue of the Record.
The hundred veniremen will be
paid mileage from their homes to
Pittsboro and from Pittsboro back
home. The hundred met Wednesday
morning at Pittsboro, where they
took busses sent from Raleigh for
that city. There will be no mileage
paid for this free ride to and from
Raleigh.
