Drj I B. McBrayer, Superintend
ent of tha State sanatorium for tu
bercular patients in Hoke county,
was recently recommended to be re
tained in his official position by a
committee appointed by the last Gen
eral Assembly, but his conduct on
certain matters was criticised as im
proper but not sufficient to amount
to any moral terpitude. Last year
McBrayer was indicted by the grand
jury in Hoke county on some of the
charges which were made against
him Def ore the General Assembly.
One was for trading with himself, he
having stock in a corporation f ronv
which the Sanatorium made purchas
es. The Statute of the State pro
hibits officers from doing this and
whenever it is done and is known in
dictments are made and should be
made for no man has the right to
trade with himself and no self re
specting porsecutor can afford to
wink at such conduct.

If there is a "Simmons Machine"

suredly built and set in motion when
such a machine waa badly needed.
That waa in the year 1912. when Sen
ator Simmons was called upon to
make a life and death struggle for
his seat in the Senate and, in fact,
for his political life. That struggle
is now known to every school boy and
girl as the Simmons-Kitchin Cam
paign".
William Walton Kitchin was then
Governor. He had back of him some
of the strongest politiacal machines
ever constructed in North Carolina

They are not and never were "Oil

anything to do with building what
the enemies of Senator Simmons like
to call the "Simmons Machine". The

bit of political history in Justice to
Senator Simmons and also in justice
to newspaper readers of North Caro
lina who may have been misled bjr
the anti-Simmons press to consider
Messrs. Cooper and Norwood as sup
porters upon whom the senior Sena
