MORRISON INCLUDES LEE IN HIS ‘SWING AROUND CIRCLE’ VISITING HERE, i MORRISON BEAMS MUCH OPTIMISM Senator Says All Kinds of False - htfods Have Been Told About Him. CHARGED WITH DRINKING While on a swing around the circle in rounding up the second campaign for the primary which will be held next Saturday to de cide who shall have the nomina tion for Senator from the west ern, half of the State, Senator Morrison stopped in Sanford last Monday at 2 o’clock to confer with his manager, Austin Mc Cormick, mid other workers. He came down by Kttsboro atid ‘ Slier City and when he reached San- J ford at the appointed hour he was surprised to find A large number of both men and women from Sanford, Jonesboro and other outlying sections of the county at .the hotel to greet ~ him. He at first decided to make' it " a hand shaking reception, but - upon ’ being urged to make, a speech all gs sembled in the ball room on the sec ond floor of the building where he made a short speech on some phases of the campaign, As the time Wtis limited he did not go into a long dis cussion Of the issues of the campaign. , He was introduced by-Mr. Cormick in a few words. AJl. and especially ; the ladies, seemed vjtally interested in what he had to say. It was the first time some' of ,8>e lady‘workers had heard Senator Morrison speak. we }uoge trom tne appiaus^ uiat punct«ai?ed his. -remarks' they wetej opened liis remarks by thanking the Democratic voters of the county for the manner in which they rallied to his support in the first primary. As has been stated in these columns he carried the county over all other can didates by a good majority. He ap pealed to his friends and workers to make every effort to see that this majority is increased by several hun dred votes at the primary next Satur day, that to do this they mur.t keep i on jjfche job till the last vote is de posited. Hb stated that some people who are oppos’d to him, have seen fit to! criticize him for calling for a second primary. He stated that they had charged him with saying in a pre vious primary that if defeated for the nomination for Governor by Mr. Gardner by the small margin of two vdtes he would not call for a sec6>*d primary. He said that he did not recall having made such a statement, but if he did lie felt impelled to run this time on account of a situation that is all together different from that one! He said there were too many grave things to handle for him ! to be willing to turn the affairs of the office over to Bob Reynolds, when 70,000 people in North Carolina had not registered a choice as between him and Reynolds, that in justice to the voters of the State this should not be done without giving thd people an opportunity to express themsel Jes at the polls. Senator Momson said that all kinds of falsehoods had been told Ml him; that he had been charged with drinking liquor and that liquor was kept at his headquarters. He stated that he had always been a dry man and had never used liquor; that his position on prohibition is not incon sistent with his life. He referred to the fact that there are 11 other men from North Carolina in Congress that have taken a stand against the liquor traffic. Senator Morrison will he found standing on the plat form of his party as he has always done. He said that some people fa vored the sale of liquor by law as the heavy tax that would be put on it would tend to lower other taxes in the States where liquor is sold. He. asserted that this would hot be the case as the tax would be collected , by the Federal government just as it col lects the tax on tohacco. .The people would not feel-it locally and it. would not lift the burdensome .tax from land. •' ■ Senator Morrison had very little - to say about Reynolds, but referred to him as a showman holding circuses here and there over the State, but did not think a majority of the Democrats of the State would take him seriously!, He was optimistic, and stated that a. great change was taking place IRST COTTON BLOSSOMS ; APPEAR ON JUNE 27th. The two first cotton blosstms of the season were sent to The Express on the same date, June 27th, They were from Grant Thomas, Jonesboro Route No. 2, and Annie Ghletai colored, who lives cn the farm of Mr. W. B. Thomas, who lives near Broadway. Other blossoms were Bent in by Mrs, P. H. Rogers, Jonesboro Route No. 3, 28th., and) Mr. F. A. Sloan, Sanford Route No. 2, on June 28th. It seems that tfjtton is later in this section than it was last year. As we recall the first blooms were reported a few days earlier last year,. Cotton is unusually small for the time of year. SPEAKER SMITH HITS FOUNTAIN Says As President of the Senate Candidate Permitted Gross __ Extravagance.' ' Jonesboro, Jufte 28.—Willis Smith, ipeaker of the 1931 session of the 'eneral assembly, in his second ipeech today in behalf of John C. B. Shringhaus, candidate for governor, md who led the first primary by a ilurality of 47,000 votes, pointed out hat although lieutenant Governor r'otmtain, second - man in the race :haractv:rized himself as? "the most ardent supporter of the McLean School law it is interesting to note that the Ehringhaus.” ^Before me is the platform of Mr Fountain,’* Mr. Smith, said, "First, he pledges himself to the McLean School Law. To be surj every candidate for the governorship, and practically every candidate for the legislature has pledged himself to the same thing. “Mr. Fountain promised you 'al. economy in government insofar a. such economy may be practiced with outu interfering with the useful func tions of government ! Mr. Fountain is rather late in getting around to hit ideas of economy for the- records sliov, that during the last general assem bly the House of Representatives composed of 120 members, was able to carry on its work with 58 employ ees at a total -expense of $39,125 while the Senate, composed of 50 men less than one-half the membership ol the house, required 74 employees al an expenditure of $46,592. "If Mr. Fountain believed in real economy, why was it that he had tc have so many employees for his 5C senators—in the Senate he himself oi ganized—than was used by the house with its 120 members. "The answer to tnat question mat be folind in the machine which Mr Fountain has attempted to steam roll _ throughout the length an<i breadth of North Carolina. I dare say that if Mr. Fountain should Ik elected governor of this Common wealth, the spoils of office would be distributed in greater profusion than has ever been known before in the his tory of North Carolina under E'omo cratic administration of government.” SPEAK TO-NIGHT Hear Hon.

Sowers is the champion Kiwanis speller. The doctor, who learned his spelling from the old “Blue-Back” as a rollicking youngster in Davidson county, has retained the “lamin” he got from his early text book. Jimmie Mclver, who came along a little too late for the “Blue-Back,” seemingly unhandicapped by this -early impediment, ran Dr. Sowers a close second. The word on which Dr. Sowers won out over Mclver was “clematis.” Only technical words were given, be ing chosen from tKe nomenclature of I botany, architecture, medicine and tex ' tiles. -Hie word “Baluster” almost brought the bee to premature end, seating nearly everyone before it was I finally spelled. Disagreement as to | the preferred form ensued, however, and those who were seated were per mitted to resume their places in the line. The word. “Lombardy” was tod much for Harold Makepeace, and ex cellent speller that he is, thu word “hydrangea” seated D. B. Teague, lo cal barrister. Charlie Rogers couldn’t get his “latitude" right pnd S. W. Al len was floored on “strawberry.” John Koonce missed “cupola” and the word “cosmos” sounded too much like Ein stein for H. M. Wagoner. “Gynecology” knocked put J. C. .. Pittman while J. Melvin Clark, whose spelling was otherwise superb, missed on a syllable in “rhododendron.” “Merchurochrome” was enough to seat Gilliam Anderson and B. B. Kammer. .Miss Ruth Phillips was chosen as sponsorlfor the club during the sum- •_ j mer.
