Reynolds, oan j didate for the Democratic* nomination I for Foiled States Senate opposing ' j Senator Lee V; Overman for re . j nomination, more confident, more en -1 thusiastic than ewer before, as 'he ar rived in Raleigh late this afternoon after a week of vigorous campaigning' in tht* northeastern counties of the state. Tired, somewhat travel-worn and showing the effects of the weeks jof vigorous campaigning. Reynolds was t'he same buoyant, irrepressible ! Reynolds. And he was not bragging ! nor talking for effect. | ”1 am in touch with the situation— I know how the people are thinking I and how they are going to vote next Saturday. I am not overconfident. lam going to be nominated. There will be in the neighborhood of 175,000 votes cast. I will get 100.000 of these and my opponent not more than 75.000. The situation is right—just right. n lt looks good.” Therefore only two men in North Carolina today who knw by travel | and perstial contact as to who is the i winner senatorial contest that i will be settled in the primary Satur | day. Reynolds said. One is McKee | Cooper, of Asheville, who has been in every one of the 100 counties of the state placing Reynolds placards and talking with voters of classes. The other is Reynolds himself. "I have been in this campaign now for three months, almost every day of that time actively in the field, having visited <S7 counties talking and visit ing with the people and getting* their viewpoint. And now I know what I am talking about,” he declared. *‘l know the sentiment of the peo ple and of the whole people. And 1 know that that sentiment is abso lutely in favor of me and opposed to my opponent. The people want a change and they are going to make that change next Saturday. I am going to win because every supporter is an enthusiastic and active sup porter and on the date of the primary he will put forth every effort in my behalf. "During the three months of my campaigning I have actually met and taken the names and addresses of 10,- j 000 individuals in 87 counties, who I have pledged their support and active co-operation. And I have evidences that these same people have been ac tive in my behalf. "My forces are organized. And these forces, consisting of personal friends and enthusiastic supporters, will win the nomination for me next Saturday. My opponents began by claiming a majority for their candi date of 100.000. And now, within the past ten days, they have them selves said that they will win by 40,- 000 majority. I claim that they are claiming a big majority without hav ing any substantial basis in any sec tion of the state on which to base those claims. I maintain that they are making these claims merely for the purpose of getting the “band wag on” riders and in an endeavor to dampen the ardor of my supporters. But it is having the opposite effect and is making my supporters work all the harder,” Reynolds concluded. Reynolds will be in Raleigh over Sunday and will leave early Monday morning for Robeson and Anderson counties, after which he will begin ; working towards home, expecting to 1 atrive in Asheville by Thursday. Walter D. Siler, campaign man ager for Senator Overman, when asked for a statement said "we are undis turbed by any of Reynold’s claims and are willing to await the results as shown by the election Saturday.

ALL MOTORISTS SHOULD CARRY THEIR IDENTIFICATION CARDS It May Prevent Much Embarrassment at Times. Tribune Bureau, Sir "Walter Hotel. Raleigh. May 31. —Further co operation on the part of all police .of ficers and sheriffs in the Srate with the Automobile License -department in the matter of requiring all motor ists to carry their identification cards, containing their name, make of car. license number and motor number, is being urged by Ij. S. Har ris. chief inspector of the Theft Bureau. The cards that will be is sued this year are on a much better quality of cardboard, and the six is such such that it will be convenient to carry in a bill fold and wallet. Heretofore, the majority of motor ists have been careless in carrying their cards because they an* rarely asked to produce them. It is quite necessary for them to carry them at all times, however, according to Mr. Harris, as a protection for the indi vidual motorist, and as a means of Mlßbl' ijr -the police and county .of ficers in assisting State officers in locating and recovering stolen auto mobiles- " Take, for instance, an officer in hunting down a stolen car. The | license plates, very often, have been changed, and it becomes necessary to stop a number of cars. If the driver has his identification card, and the license number and engine number on the card check with those on the car. it immediately becomes apparent to the officer, and the driver is permitted to proceed without further questioning. “If. however, lie does not have his identificaion it may become very em barassing to him to explain. even though the car may be properly hi& Hence it is of the utmost importance that the drivers of cam generally be educated to the point where they realize the . necessity for carrying these cards at all times. It will save them embarassment and will ma terially assist the officers over the state in their work.” THE CANNING INDUSTRY In a Few Weeks It Will Be in Full Swing In South Carolina. (By International News Service) Greenville, S. C., May 31. —Within a few weeks South Carolina’s newest industry will be in full swing and canneries throughout tike low coun try will be turning out carloads of canned tomatoes and other home grown products in carload lots. Canneries throughout this section are already ready to begin operation, hut the gathering of beans has been somewhat retarded by the extended drought which has devastated certain crops in lower South Carolina. How ever, it is believed, that the gath ' ing of the home-grown products will j begin early in June. ' The canning industry, which was established in practically all of the agricultural centers of this state a | few years ago as a result of the in- j vasion of the boll weevil and the, consequent difficulty in producing cot-] ton, was only an experiment in those few years, but now it is considered an established and profitable industry in the lowlands'. Farmers, diversifying their crojis, | have realized all-the-year-round profits j as a result of the canneries. On the J other hand, each town and village now has its employment problem solved, as the canneries at this sea son give work to thousands of la borers. - i_ Change the Charleston Rules.

SHERRILL, Editor and Publisher FINDS THESE STUDENTS INDIFFERENT TO CHURCH Survey of 47 Leading Universities j Shows General Indifference. Baltimore, May 31. —04 s ) —Generali indifference to religion by student | bodies, with one pronounced “aggres sively, pagan", is reported in a sur vey of forty-seven leading universi ties to be presented to the general assembly of the Presbyterian Church here tomorrow. The report was compiled by I)r. M. William Lampe, general director of the department of university work Presbyterian board of Christian edu cation. The Colorado School of Mines, where the “Mines Spirit” is given the extreme description, is pronounced "one of the most difficult centers for student work in the United States.” The Memorial Church of Iceland Stanford Junior University is com-; pared to the Biblical altar to "An j Unknown God,” while a number of j professors at the University of Cali fornia are said to “depersonalize God.” The University of Michigan, how ever, is pronounced fully co-opera tive, its activities including the com plete support of a missionary and lo cal religious work which is commend ed in the report. j The University of Illinois, the re | port states, is bereft of chapel, re i ligion and Bible, while the “attrac j tions and distractions” of a city make i work difficult at the University of Chicago. | Purdue University, in Indiana, has “no philosophy or ethics or anything j to suggest the spiritual side of life," the report continues, while material • istic tendencies are noted at Jhe Uni versity of Kansas. Religion “has been made respectable 1 on the campus,” of the University of I Montana, the report notes, while jumping to the University of Wash ington, Dr. Lampe finds there is a certain amount "of real antagonism on the part of professors and students toward religion and the church,” With these pronounced results of the survey, the report finds otherwise that there is no standard by which the general attitude of the schools can be measured, although the lack of facilities often is given as a rea son for limited work among student j bodies.

May 31.— (A 3 )—If Japan ex pects to absorb the benefits of western civilization, “it will be necessary for her to welcome Christianity with open arms and harmonize the religion of the West with the national charac teristics of the Eastern empire,” in the opinion of the Osaka Mainichi, This newspaper’s editorial on the subject, which attracted considerable attention, said it “is indeed a great mistake to think that western 'cnltnrtC grew up quite independent of its re ligion. just as it is absurd to think that Eastern culture is independent of its religious thought or feeling. “Strange to say, the majority of Japanese seem to think that we can i very well absorb western culture with- I out paying any heed to its religion —Christianity. It is our humble opinion that in order to fulfill the • heaven-sent mission, if such it be, of welding the Oriental and Occidental j civilizations into one, it is almost in- | cumbent upon us Japanese to welcome , Christianity with often arms, «6' as to be able to make that religion our , own, just ns we did Buddhism and . Confuscianism in the past. “To welcome CfiristianitJ means not necessarily to make this country a so-called Christendom, but it means that the nation as a whole should be come conversant in Christian doctrines and sentiment in a similar degree as western peoples who confess that re ligion. “Japan should have her own Chris tianity perfectly harmonized with her national characteristics, and so well assimilated as to make it her own re ligion, side by side with her inherited spiritual cults, such as Buddhism* Confucianism and Shintoism.” New York Sky Scrapers to Be Bar red By Paris; 65-ft. is Height Limit.
