ESTABLISHED SEPTEMBER 19,1878 BATTLE GROUND TARING OUTLINE i A Graphic Sketch of the Poli tical Situation Up To Date —Campaign To Be Going in Cai-and-Dog Fashion With in Six Weeks. By WILLIAM P. HELM, Jr. Washington, July 19.—Ail reads ,';ii to the first line trenches now, .r.d the trenches lie in strange and uv.familiar places. Over the rival '.tical camps fioat the standards or new ana untired generals in su i ivme command. New forces, pas <■; ns and issues are soon to be un leashed. Old ties and party friend ships are wreaking; new alignments taking shadowy outline. The Presi centiai campaign of 1928 trembles on the ways, soon to glide, fro bet ter or for worse, into the troubled of politics. The past week has witnessed the selection of four major battlefields on which will be waged the contest icr supremacy. The first of these skirts the Atlantic litteral from Maine to Maryland. Not within the memory of man have the great states cf New lork, New Jersey, Massachu setts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Maryland all been fair fighting ground. They are today, with, sen timent swinging now toward Smith, now toward Hoover. This block of I d electoral votes apparently can be v. n by either side. It is the great No Man’s Land of the Eastern front. The second battlefield lies but a . ay’s journey westward. Ohio, In- j Lana, Kentucky, Wisconsin and ev- ; rr Michigan roughly mark its boun- j daries. Here, too, shift the sands j of sentiment, now veering to the j one side, now to the other. Shock j troops will charge and retreat and j charge again in the days to come in j the struggle for the field. None j of these States is surely safe to j Hoover; a'l furnish alluring smiles' to Smith. The fight here promises to be secondary only to that on the ; Eastern fron.t In Dixieland they take their stand for the third great battle. For, wonder of wonders, the South today appears to present no solid front for < its longtime love, Dame Democracy, j The Democrats, knowing this, prob-; abiy will establish a Southern head- j quarters. Chattanooga has been men- j tioned as its location. The Repub- j licar.s, with pleading eyes, look South j from Washington. From the capital i <*ity they are wooing Tennessee, ! North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and j even Louisiana. For the first time j since ante-Civil War days, the south; is to be a battleground this year. It j will be flooded with the literature! of politics from both camps. Hoover himself may hike Southward to ad dress the voters. So may Smith. The fourth main battlefield goes out from Canada to the Mexican line. Montana, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and j New Mexico roughly form the front. These great territorial expanses fur nish comfortable little dots on elec tion day. T!|y helped mightily to ward the return of Woodrow W ilson ! in 1916. The Democrats believe they ! are fighting ground now. They will; not be neglected. Thus, as one camp or the other draws its battle lines, 21 of the 48 states are put down as fighting ground of first importance. The list may grow, and probably will as i election day draws near. Some of the more optimistic Democrats, for instance, claim to sense a mighty swing to Smoth in wet Pennsylvania. They are even claiming its votes. On the other hand, some of the long-sighted Republicans are turn ing hopeful eyes to Protestant dry Texas which now sends a lone Repub- I can to the national congress. Be-, tween these extremes lie Colorado, j Missouri, Illinois, West Virginia, Ok- j lahoma and bevy of other common- • wealths normally safe for either one side or the other. The wet-and-dry issue loojr.s today | as the big issue of the campaign. In j some Southern cities, such as Birm-; ingham, Ala., and Greensboro, N. C. lifetime Democratic pastors are now preaching against A1 Smith from the pulpit. A batch of Democratic wo men—maybe large, maybe small — ; tune only will disclose —is organizing ■ Democratic Women’s clubs for Hoov- J er, basing their opposition to the general New York Governor solely on his stand for Volstead law modi fication. Big Business, on the other hand, apparently is swinging Smithward. It; is not afraid of Al Smith at all. How it would like to have a Democratic congress on its hands is another thing. A new* money prince, high priest from the inner shrine of the Temple of Big Business, has been named Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. John J. Raskob of Delaware, chairman of the fin ance committee of America’s most successful mammoth corporation, General Motors, is the new man. He is Smith’s long-standing personal friend. The public knows but little of Ras kob, In “Who’s in America,” in a sketch presumably edited by himself (most of these sketches are so edit ou) Raskob appears as a Republican and a Roman Catholic. That sketch was written two years ago. Today he is a Democrat. A few short years ago he was a country book keeper, drawing down a $7.50 salary every Saturday night. Or, perhaps, it was wages. Today his income is reputed to exceed $1,000,000 a year. There has been modern magic in his touch, for General Motors has been Tlie Chatham Record MRS EDDINS GIVES PARTY FOR GUESTS Mrs. C. M. Eddins recently gave a very enjoyable party in honor of | her guests, Mr. J. J. Burns and daughter Myra, of Troy, Miss Vel ma Lasater of Troy, Miss Hattie Sauls of Durham, and her own claugh ter, Miss Stacie Eddins of Durham. There were about seventy-five at the party, including the young peo ple of the community, and all had a rood time, all the young people taking part in the social games. Mrs. Eddins expressed pride in the young people present ; they were so fine in their department. t Mrs. Burns, who is a biothei of Mrs. Eddins, also visited his other sister. Mrs. C. C. Clifton, and brot v -; ers Moody, Garland, Roland, and j Dixon Burns, and other relatives. W. P. CAMPBELL DEAD~ Mr. W. P. Campbell, a good citizen of Siler City R 2, died July 10. It is said that he w r as somewhat more than sixty years of age. Mr. A. A. Campbell, a son, is administrator of the estate. Kimbalton News John M. Dowdy and J. K. Dow’dv and families of Sanford, N. C., spent Sunday with Alex R. Dow’dv. Gordon McMath of Greensboro w r as a business visitor last week. J. A. Ward and family, and Mrs. Joe Dan Hackney of Ramseur spent Sunday with Ernest Brewer. Worth Whitt and family spent the week-end with Hiram Whitt of White Cross. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Burke of San i ford were Sunday visitors here. ! Merritt Smith and family of Siler I City were visitors Sunday with Zeb ! Ferguson. | Mrs. Julia Campbell is improving ! slowly after being seriously ill for [ a week. Rev. Whitford of Duke University ! preached his first sermon at Hickory ; Mt. church Sunday. Everyone is I pleased with the new minister. Mrs. Jack Murchison of Spencer, is visiting with Mrs. W. B. Dorsett. TWO NEGROES KILLED Two negroes, one Cross and one I Culbertson, were run over by a Nor | folk and Southern train in the ex treme eastern part of Chatham coun jty Monday. The engineer saw them j lying on the track as he came down a short inclined stretch before he 1 reached them, but could not stop the , i heavily loaded train. The bodies ! were mangled badly, but strange to say there was no blood to be found on the tracks between the poinl ; where they lay and where the loco | motive carried them, several feet. ■At this writing, the Record is not informed whether the bodies were cold or warm when found, but our informant expressed the opinion that they were dead when the train struck them, being unable to con , vince himself that there would have been no blood on the track some where if the had been living when struck. Coroner Geo. H. Brooks and Dep ! uty Desern went to the scene of the j tragedv. A jury was empaneled and . an indefinite verdict was rendered. pulled up from the mud to the cita del of success. Raskob may or may not swing Big Business solidly be ; hind Al Smith. 1 It goes to show, in away, the shifting that is going on behind the scenes. Big Business for Smith: the South a fair battleground for Hoov er; Democratic women of the South turning Republican; wet Republicans of Pennsylvania and Illinois coming out for Smith. These are a few of many bubbles that float to the surface" on the simmering pot of politics. What sort of provender will j come from the caldron November 6 ! not even the cooks have an idea to day. Both camps have bad their troub- k les during the past week. In the i Republican camp, the gentle Doctor lof Medicine,' Hubert Work, who ; steers the ship, has been mixing it a bit with the frank and practical George M'oses of New Hampshire, original Hoover man and master pol itician. Mr. Hoover succeeded in j smoothing this over somewhat be : fore he left Washington, last Sat ‘ urday for the West. Incidentally, Hoover’s itinery lay through Chicago where he was to spend Sunday with Charles G. Dawes, and the Brule re gion where Vermont’s favorite son flashes for trout and swats the mos- I quito. Although Tammany sits in the saddle ator> the Democratic donkev the tiger himself has had internal pains. There’s a woman in it —an old-time friend of Governor Smith’s —Mrs. Belle Moskowitz who has had a big role in the preconvbntion campaign. Now that the campaign has been won, some of the Tam many Regulars profess to feel that M*rs. Moskowitz has entirely too much authority around the place. The friction led almost to an open row, but died down and may be smoothed out altogether. Notification ceremonies with key note speeches by the candidates will come along ere many days and then the campaign will swing into action. It ought to be going cat-rnd-dog fashion within the next six weeks. And notwithstanding tlve roidysuns mer gentlemanliness of all concern ed, and the issuance of many state ments that there are to be no mud flinging, prs fial ? r .ies or brickbats, it is going to be just that sort of » fight. The voters, not the candi dates, will attend to that. PITTSBORO, N. C, CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, JULY 19TH, 1928 SAVE THE COTTON CROP FROM WEEVIL Chatham Crop Depends Upon Prompt Action—Methods Are Discussed. The Harnett County News reports a Mr. Shaw as saying it is easy to find the first comers of boll weevils to a cotton field. He had found twenty and killed them. As each weevil i supposed to lay 150 eggs, which means that many forms punc tured, it is evident that he has sav- 1 i ed a considerable number of early j ! boils and an almost innumerable j j swarm of weevil of the second and I third generations. All of us know,; j presumably, how easy it is to save a potato bug swarm by killing the hard shell bugs that come from the ground early in the potato season. It will be. more difficult, of course, to locate the weevil, but Mr. Sha.v is reported to say that they can be discovered by noting holes bitten in ’ the cotton leaves and looking about t for the offending weevil. The next i best thing to killing the breeders is to destroy the eggs by picking up the fallen squares, but that means ]SO squares to be picked up to the killing of one weevil, supposing, that the weevil is caught before she has laid her eggs. As farms are already being pierc ed in Chatham county, it behooves every cotton farmer to be vigilant now and save his crop. The cotton is two or three weeks late and if the weevil is permitted to multiply there is little chance of making a coop of cotton. Mr. Coker, the celebrated farmer of Hartsvlile, S. C-., advises that the molasses treatment will destroy a host of weevil in 24 hours. Mr. Shiver, county agent, can advise about the poison for the molasses mixture. At the suggestion of a farm department extension worker, Mr. Coker has arranged his mop. which is attached to the plow, in such away that it pushes the leaves upward and smears the poisonous molasses cn he under parts of the leaves, thus preventing washing off so readily by the rains. With the usual small cotton acre ages in Chatham county, it should be possible to save the crop by nick ing up forms, poisoning with molas ses mixture or by hand dusting. Mr. Shiver is giving information about the latter method. T Weevil Infestation Reaches 10 per cent Shiver Discusses Weevil Con trol, Lespedeza Demonstra tions, and Quotes State’s Best Authority on Barley. Reports from several parts of the county have come in, indicating rath er high boll weevil infestation thsi week. The agent personally inspect ed two fields of cotton this week, on the farms of Mr. C. C. Lutterloh in the Gum Springs community, and Mr. Ernest Brewer in the Hickory Mt. community. At the farm of Mr. Lutterloh, counts indicated an infes tation of boll weevil amounting to 10 per cent, while the per cent in festation at the farm of Mr. Ernest Brewer was 16. Authorities recom mend dusting when the per cent in festation reaches 10. It is very probable that dusting with calcium arsenate for the boll weevil will pay the average farmer in this county. Where there is a small acreage in cotton, five or ten acres, the hand duster will work well, and will prob ably pay well, as the first cost and upkeep is small. In general, col ton should be dusted from 5 to 5 times a season, using about six pounds of dust per acre. It is very important that the cotton should be dusted tho roughly during the boll weevil sea son, and at regular intervals of four days, otherwise, work will be wast ed. Wednesday, July 18 and Thursday July 19 of'next week, Mr. S. J. Kir by Legume crop specialist from state college, will be with the Agent for the purpose “Os holding dernnostra tion meetings at demonstration field of Alfalfa and Lespedeza. Wednes day morning a meeting will be held i at the farm of Mr. W. Z. Crews near Pittsboro for the purpose of inspect ing his alfalfa and lespedeza, and a meeting will be held that after noon at the farm of Mr. J. J. Glos son in the Mt. Pleasant section. On Thursday a. m. an alfalfa meeting will be held at the farm of M'r. N. J. Dark in the Hickory Mt. Commu nity, and that afternoon an alfalfa meeting will be held at the farm of Mr. W. H. White in the Rocky River section. All farmers in these com munities are invited to attend. BIG BALL GAME Siler City, N.

West, Machinist at The Riddle Iron Works, Killed by Contact With High Voltage Wire. A few weeks ago Larry Newsome, the Wayne county negro convicted here of the murder of a little white girl, was sentenced to be electrocut ed on Friday, July 13. The time al lcved by Judge Nunn for the per fection of appeal had not expired and the negro w’as reprived, and ia still living. But the unlucky day wa« not wuthout its victim. Mr. H. H. West, machinist at the Alex Rid dle Iron Works, Pittsboro, was the substitute, and there was no red tape about the business. One min ute he was alive and working, the next his life w r as snuffed out by the voltage from the power line operat ing the heavy motor in the machine shop. The victim was fitting a rod into a ford to hold up the motor. He had prepared the rod with a hook on one end, and as he started to fit the rod found that he had the rod end forward, and turned it end and end. The turn put the hook end up and it caught over the wire convey ing a high voltage current to the motor within the machine shop. The ground where Mr. West was standing was soaking wet, making a perfect conductor, and the current shot thru him. He crumpled up on the ground still swinging to the rod, held by the force of the current. Austin Johnson, seeing what had happened, leaped forward and seized the man to release him. Young Johnson was stricken too, lay prone unon the body of Mr. West. Edwin Ward, son of Mr. T. A. Ward, w r ho also works at the shop, seized Johnson by the overalls and dragged him off West, and then pulled West loose by the same process. Johnson was not so seriously injured, but West was un conscious, and though Dr. Chapin was summoned immediately and tried long to resuscitate the stricken man, there was no return to consciousness and the task was given over. M’rs. West was informed. The couple lived in the new Alton Riddle house three miles out on the Mon cure road. W. A. West, a brother of the deceased, who for the past few weeks has been assisting his brother, was also present. The body was taken charge of by Mr. Jeter Griffin, undertaker, and prepared for burial. Mr. West was 52 years of age. He was not a native of the county, but a comparatively recent comer to Chatham. He was long a cotton mill machinist, working at the Caraleigh and other mills. A year or so aga he came here and undertook to run a filling station at the fork of the Moncure and Sanford highways, just out of Pittsboro. But a little later he went up to Bynum as mill ma chinist. Then a vacancy occurred at the Riddle Iron Woiks and Mr. West came back to Pittsboro. He was not only a capable ma chinist. but a man held in high es teem for his sterling manhood. He was 52 years of age. He is survived by his wife, two brothers? W. A. West of Pittsboro, and W. E. West of High Point, two sisters, Mrs. Tda Dawkins of Clover. S. C., and Mrs. Callie McNair of Rockingham. He was a native of Randolph county. The burial occurred Sunday after noon in a Wake county cemetery af ter a funeral service in the church of the mill village in which he had worked. At this writing it is not known what Mrs. West will do. There are no children. Browns Chapel Pastor Lance gave us another good sermon Sunday.
