With each candidate expressing that confidence that is exjiected of him. Democrats of Cabarrus will go to the j lolls Saturday to name their : choice for the United States Senate ; and the solieitorship of the 15th ju- j dicial district. Senator Overman’s campaign man- j agers have maintained from the be ginning that the junior senator will overwhelm his opponent, Robert It. j Reynolds, of Asheville, and Mr. Rev- j nolds and his supporters have been j just as insistent in predicting defeat; for the senator. In what he characterized as his I “last statement” before the primary, Mr. Reynolds predicted that he would carry 61 counties with a majority of at least 25,000. On the same day this speech of op timism was made by the Asheville candidate, friends of Senator Over man were quoted as saying in effect that there would really be nothing to the race, so great will be the Over man vote. It is generally agreed that Senator Overman will ear.v this county in a light vote, with the'Kannapolis vot ers holding the balance of power. Mr. Reynolds does not lack for supporters in the county and many of them have been active in his interest. It is pre dicted by some of them that the Rey nolds vote will be an eye-opener to those persons who have taken it for granted that Senator Overman will win. It seems safe to predict, say poli ! ticians, that Zeb V. Long will carry ! the county in his race with F. B. Brittain for the nomination as solic itor. Mr. Long has many supporters | in the county, and in addition he is well and favorably known by many I persons who do not take an active part in the preliminaries but who al ways go to the polls whether it is pri | mary or election day. Both of the candidates have been j rather active in the county within the past several weeks. The Kannap olis vote, which is expected to be a large one, will go to Mr. Long, it is I predicted by those who claim to know, j Registrars and judges in the coun ! ty are asked to send to this office as ! early as possible Saturday night the result of the voting in their precinct. It is also planned to get here the vote from other counties in the district so I the result of the race between Mr. Long and Mr. Brittain can be deter-, m’ned Saturday night.

I ARE AGE AND YOUTH ARRAYBJd AGAINST EACH OTHER Will the Spirit of the New South Be Manifest in the Primary Salur * day? Tribune Bureau | Sir Walter Hotel | Raleigh, .Tune 3. —Is the spirit of. the awakening South about to he manifest in tiie senatorial primary contest in North Carolina Saturday? Are age and youth arrayed against each other, age scoffingly confident, youth eager, enthusiastic and hope ful? There are those who are in close touch with the political situa tion over the state who say this is the situation. This older group smile sagely when Reynolds’ name is men tioned, and wag their heads in mock sympathy for that “young boy from Asheville" who has been so deluded to think that he could ever hope to aspire to the Senate with a man like Senator Lee S. Overman, as his op ponent. They fail to see how any one who has reached years of dis cretion and attained an age sufficient to entitle the exercise of suffrage could possibly consider voting for any one other than the present junior senator from North Carolina. They point to his long years of service, his seniority on many committees, the in fluence whirfi he has in Washington among the various departments. They even point to the fact that during the TVilson administration. Overman was one of Wilson’s most trusted and dependable aides—and there are many who sill read scripture from the Wil son political Bible daily. It is a potent argument and one not to be sniffed at, so the oldsters think. But what of the younger men «Qd "youngev women in the’ state echo nee not as learned in political folklore as their elders, and who ’have of late started thinking independently of matters political and forming their own conclusions? What of these younger minds, schooled in independ ent thinking, possessed of initiative, which are destined to guide the des tinies of the state and nation in the years that are not far off—what are these younger intellects thinking? And right there is the 'hub of the whole matter —the solar plexus of the present political question, anatomic ally speaking. The news to that question is what the Overman cohorts would give a pretty half-dollar to know, for the last few days they have realized that their line of thought has by no means been telepattoetic, and that there are those in the state who have steadily refused and continue to refuse'to accept their way of think ing. Several things in the last few days have served to disturb the composure of the old guard and to wake them up to the fact Reynolds is in the race for the Senate and t’hat he is by no means a myth and not to be reckoned with. One thing that has caused some little restlessness is the fact that the mails over the state in the last few days have contained some 65,000 pos tal cards, sent by various Reynolds supporters—not by Reynolds himself to their friends, most of them but luke-warmly interested in Reynolds, asking them to vote for Bob on Sat urday. Another thing is the enthu siastic, active work being done by the out-and-out-Reynolds men in his be half. And another, if not the most important factor, is the number of personal contacts Reynolds had made in his personally conducted tour of the state, as the result of which he says he will carry sixty-one counties on Saturday. Beginning today, his picture is being flatbed on the screen of seventy-one moving picture thea ters over the state, thereby making an impression upon those-thousands of people who enjoy the world of the imaginative. So there you are. Age versus youth. The law axul order changeth. Evo lution as compared with fundamen talism, in the field of politics. Reynolds left Raleigh late yester- 1 day afternoon on his return trip to j seriously confident. No brag, no careless air of the debonnaire but cool, calculating, sure of his won strength. Saturday will solve the riddle. Severe Earthquake Recorded. Washington, June 3. — U P) —”A se vere” earthquake was recorded early today on the seismographs* at George town University.

GROWTH OF THE STATE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM I Graphically Shown in a Comparison of Figures. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. June 3. —The tremendous growth of the North Carolina educa tional system ns reflected in its pub lic schools is graphically shown in n comparison of figures and data con tained in the June edition of “School : Facts" issued monthly by t’he depnrt- j inent of public instruction, and which is jusi off the press today. Tn 1000 and 1001 there were but 435,184 children enrolled in the schools of the state, the entire expenditure for that year on the schools amount- j ing to only $1,248,157.34. In 1024; and 1025 there were 800.834 pupils in she elementary ami high schools of the state at an expenditure of the j state amounting to $33,708,063.68. j i These figures become even more sig- 1 1 nificant when attention is called to the fact that in 1000-01 only 50 per cent, of the school -children attended school regularly while in 1024-25 73.6 ! per cent, attended school regularly., The average expenditure by the state for each child in 1000-01 was but j $2.87, while in 1024-25 ft was $41.06. These figures not only disclose a j wide difference in school expenditures but also show that the enrollment has nearly doubled and that the percent age of regular attendance has also made a decided and substantial in crease. Another interested factor is the increase in the length of the school term that has resulted. In 1000-01 the average school term Was but 86 days while now 147.0 in the schools for white children. Also more and better teachers at better salaries are employed to take care of the increased enrollment and better attendance. Out of the $33,078,063 68 spent in 1024-25, 65.3 per cent, was spent in the rural schools of the state for the education of 612,570 children, or 75.6 of the otal school em-ollment. The remaining $11,770,374 or 34.7 per cent, of the total expenditures, was spent in city or special charter schools. The average cost of educat ing one child is now $25.07 if the cost of buildings and equipment is omit ter; if this is included, the per cap ita cost at present amounts to $41.96 per child per year. DISTRESSING CROP CONDITIONS FARTHER SOUTH J. B. Linker Says He Has Never | Seen as Poor Prospects as Now Appear in Georgia and South Caro lina. “The crop conditions along the route of the Seaboard Airline railroad are the worst I have ever seen,” said J. B. Linker, local real man, this niorning. • Linker has just re- ! turned from a trip to Athens, Ga., a trip that he makes every year at about this time. “Never neTore nave t seen cotton suffering so badly from lack of rain at this time of the year,” he said. “Along the route I traveled, in many cases, they have had no seasonable rains in over three weeks. The con dition exists as far as sixty or seventy miles south of Atlanta and traveling men say that Alabama crops are suf fering just as badly. King Cotton is surely doomed in that vicinity unless the clouds open up with rainfall dur ing the next two w-eeks.” Mr. Linker said that very little cotton had been chopped out and that most of it was not even up yet. In many places fields that had been plowed lip for cotton planting had simply been left alone —conditions were so deplorable that the farmers did not even go on with their plant ing. The cotton condition along the route of the Southern .railway is much more encouraging than that along the Seaboard. In many cases the cotton is out ana it is very sel dom that one sees three-fourths of the crop already ruined —a situation prev alent along the Seaboard. According to Mr. Linker, the corn crqp looks much better than cotton. It seems to be thriving, despite the drought. FORMER RESIDENT OF CITY DIES AT HOME C. W. Earnhardt Died Suddenly May Third at His Home in Keysville, Virginia. Friends and relatives here have been advised of the death on May 3rd, of C. W. Earnhardt, at Keys ville, Virginia- A newspaper of that town had the following to say of Mr. Earnhardt’s life and death : Mr. C. W. Earnhardt, or Keys ville, dropped dead from heart dis ease on Tuesday afternoon, at his blacksmith shop. 'No one was present at tne time of the sudden attack which resulted in his deaath. Just previous to the dis covery of his body lying in his place of business he had been on the out side doing some repair work. A boy, |in passing, saw his prostrate form, | and immediately reported to a phy sician, who went to the p ace and found life extinct. Mr. Earnhardt was 73 of; age and had been a resident of Keys- j ville for about twenty years .engaged in the blacksmith business. He came in contact with many people who learned to admire and esreem him. He was held in high esteem not only | by the entire community in which he | lived, but by a large circle of out-! j side acquaintances. Mr. Earnhardt leaves his wife, one son and one daughter. He was a na tive of North Carolina, having been born and raised in Concord. The remains were interred in Ash Camp Baptist church cemetery. He was a member of the Presbyterian church.

' DECISION OF WAR ! i LIES KITH YOUNG MEN, WILBUR SAYS i 'Graduates of the Naval, Academy Told of Great 1 , j Faith Nation Has Shown! | In Them. # I THEIR ACTION OF GREAT INTEREST i — : ! How They Conduct Them selves and the Jobs As signed to Them Has a Bearing on the Future. Annapolis. Md., June 3. — (A*) —The decision of war lies in the hands of young men. This was the message of Secretary Wilbur today to the graduating class at the Naval Academy. “If you feel that you are hazarding much in surrendering something of your liberty to the unknown demands of your nation, what do we say of the hazard of the nation in placing its destiny Lp no small degree in your hands.” The Naval Secretary said in his prepared address. “Have you done anything which justifies the go\ em inent in this expression of its great confidence” ? CONDITIONS DUE TO LONG DRY WEATHER Conditions on the Farms in the State Are Growing More Serious. Tribune Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel. Ilaieigh, .Tune —lt may take the old folks to tell that it “aint gon’na rain no mo” but it is very probable that the youngest in any * North Carolina- farmer's family will be able to tell you that “it ain’t rained in a long long time- The damage to young plants just beginning to grow as probably already climbed far up into the million dollar class and j each day of dry weather means that conditions on the farms are growing more serious, officials of the State Department of Agriculture say. Scattered showers have occured over the state at intervals but these have been insufficien for the needs of seeds jiist sprouting and of thirsty plants just, beginning to grow. Some sections in the Piedmont have had ' no rain since April 12th and the' average temperature has been much below a normal for the season. The growth of cotton plants in J North Carolina averages from two to 1 three weeks late at this time, and some farmers in the souhern counties of the belt say that los of cotton planted four weeks ago was not up by June Ist. The seeds, planted in the dry baked soil have germinated very poorly and it has been difficult to get a fair stand throughout most of the cotton belt. A considerable acreage has been replanted through the southern counties and some are still replant ing while others state that hey are waiting for rain to replant. The countless in the extreme north east of the state report conditions .in’ bet ter shape. More frequent showers have occurred and cotton stands in this section are considered fair. The general staaement from most of the cotton belt is that cotton growth, is ut a stand still, prospects very poor I and discouraging with lots of the cotton dying in the field. Some chop ping has been done but a small per cent of the crop has been chopped ns so little of it is up to a stand a.t this time. No weevi’s have been observed yet except in isolated instances- The acreage of cotton which was report ed as 98 per cent of last year may be further reduced by the ravages of the drought unless rains come soon to relieve the situation.
