GREENSBORo PAGE TWO DUNCAN IS OUT Mary Ann Comes In And Wins lt fjaj HE radicals at Raleigh up set the apple cart. It wasn t anything in particular to defeat Duncan for National Committeeman, but to al low mi tier to be the instrument which did it is what will hurt. It was all right to hiss Duncan, but on the principle of "it was all very well to dissemble your love, but why did you kick me down stairs?" there will be some inquiries. In selecting John Motley More head to be National Committeeman of course the party has a good man. perhaps it would have been really best to have selected him as a com promise, but to have it understood that Butler stoked the stove well, there is where the party loses out. When Carl Duncan dramatically put it up to the convention to choose between him and Marion Butler he played his last -card and it wasn't an ace. The convention chose, and much to Duncan's surprise Mar ion Butler was the choice. That means that the republican party in this coming campaign must bear the burden of Butler and to many self respecting citizens the name of But ler smells bad. It is offensive, and this will cost the party many votes. We do not take any of the snuff handed out by the News and Observ er about the Bond busniess. That doesn't make us sneeze. That is like handing a baby a rattle of whi'ch he has grown weary. The bond business is a thing of the past and if Butler did undertake to do something along that line it was way back yonder and in these en lightened times men atone for their sins -what happened "before the wah" isn't disturbing the people now. Butler once advertised in a New York paper way back before Ral eigh landed in America, it seems, and yet to this day the News and Observer refers to him as Bond But ler. But that frightens nobody. The thing is this: Carl Duncan is a big business man of North Carolina. He runs : banks and railways. He is constructive. He is broad, he is big and he does things in a commercial way. He is an asset of the , republican party. Marion Butler is a liability. Men like Duncan, Morehead, Harris and such constructionists give respecta bility to the party as a constructive party as a party worth while. Such men can appeal to the man who be lieves more in prosperity than he does in pie. True Morehead was. chosen instead of Duncan but Morehead didn't want the place and Duncan did. Butler used Morehead and there are not enough dashes in this print shop to politely express Morehead's opinion of Butler if we were to let 'em loose. John More head could write a column and then not tell half of what he thought of Butler and each sentence would make a grandchild of Butler's blush fifty years from this date. s : In other words Butler has been personally ambitious and half of the republican party has no use for him. You never heard of a dog in North Carolina being named Marion But ler. No, people are often self re specting. But Duncan hasn't passed. He used to run a boat and he under stands what a fog means. He will emerge. Then there was Dr. Cyrus Thomp son, of populistic fame. He got a raw deal. This means another hole in the boat.' Of course it is hard to tell whether to sit on Ike Meekins until he hollers means anything, be cause Ike is big and strong and has been used as a party spring seat for lo, these many ears. We heard the voice of Tom Settle. It rang clear and he was there. But we do not see just where he got anything he wanted. He told the convention it was playing gag rule and those things will be remembered. There" was no harmony. There was nothing but an exhibition of factional pie eaters and pie hunters fighting for supremacy. Again the republican party has voluntarily closed the transom and turned on the gas. It had an op portunity. A golden opportunity. Some say that Butler wants to kill it and expects some day to start a new party of his own. But that isn't plausible, because he hasn't the building material. Had there been harmony; had the patriots been big enough to have side step ped and said as the Peerless Roose velt has said: "Anything to beat Wilson, and then had they gone to it seriously. North Carolina repub licans could this year have stood a fighting chance. As it is now there is nothing to do but bury the corpse again. Marion Butler administered the chloroform. STILL INVESTIGATING. The Investigation Of Brandies Still Goes On. It is a sublime, spectacle to see the United States investigating a nominee of the President for the highest judicial office in the land. It is a picture that will giv the country confidence in the highest tribunal. The mere suggestion that Brandies was not the man for the place we mean official suggestion, should have caused Wilson to with draw the name. And had Brandies been big enough to be on the Su preme bench when the avalanche of protest came he would, have politely bowed Shimself out. But not on your tin type. He is waiting. Wilson handed it to him and Wilson being not of the largest bore is insisting that his judgment be vindicated. Everybody knows that Brandies is an extremist, Everybody knows that he has been a disturber of the commercial peace Therefore, no matter what the Sen ate finally decides as to confirmation there has been no strength or con fidence added to our highest court It is to laugh. And yet is such a serious matter that none should laugh. COLONEL HOPKINS. What He Has In Mind In The Pic ture Business. . The Concord Times carries .this story concerning Lindsey Hopkins known by everybody in these parts "Mr. Lindsey Hopkins, who is a native of North Carolina and who formerly resided at Greensboro, is at the head of a gigantic scheme to nroduce Dhoto drama of the South in anA around Atlanta on a scale similar to and equal to 'The Birth of a Nation.' Mr. Hopkins, it is said, will have Col. Henry Watterson and other famous Southerners in the cast. Marse Henry' alone ougnt 10 be a sufficient attraction to guaran tee the success of the jicture. Mr. Hopkins is just back from the stu dios of the new organization at Hollywood, near Los Angeles, where they are already engaged in produc ing a sequel to 'The Birth of a Na tion' and when it is completed, the attention will be turned to the possi bilities of enacting a great Civil War drama in the South, with the his toric battle of Atlanta as the back ground of the plot. Mr. Hopkins has already gone so far as to an nounce that he wants a scenario on the subject, and that if one of suffi cient merit is offered he will pur chase and produce it. A short time ago Mr. Hopkins and Colonel Henry Watterson went over the scenes of the Battle of Atlanta, in which Col onel Watterson participated, and it was while talking with the distin guished warrior and editor that Mr. Hopkins conceived the idea of pro ducing a big picture here." ;. o ;. CLYDE CHEEK MAKES GOOD. Old Hillsboro Boy Now Doing Busi ness In Greensboro. Writing last week of Hillsboro and some of the leading spirits in that quaint old town, reminds us of an old Hillsboro boy now doing busi ness in Greensboro who has made good. : , .v. Mr. J. C. Cheek, known in his home town as "Clyde" Cheek, early developed a taste for the printer's art and took his first lessons in the office of the old Hillsboro Recorder. Of course he was just a boy then a boy in knee pants, and liked the excitement (?) of getting out a weekly paper in Hillsboro. These early predilections have clung to him all ; during his business life as evi denced by the , fact that no matter how well he is doing in other lines he always gets back to his first love. This is why after being several years connected with the North Carolina Public Service Company he bought an interest in the Harrison Printing Company, with which firm he was associated until compelled to quit work for a while and build up his health. Upon his return to Greens boro from a year's sojourn in the mountains of Western North Caro lina he embarked in business for himself -with offices in the Piedmont building, where he has had all the work he could take care of from the start, and has had to enlarge his force and equipment. The J. C. Cheek Company is com posed of Mr. and Mrs. Cheek, the latter being as good a business man as her husband. They sell all sorts of office equipment; printing and engraving, and the multigraph ma chine is always busy. Those who have had work done on the latter. are extravagant in their praise of the Cheek Company, Mr. Cheek wants his friends to know where to find him and to look him up in his new quarters. Big Cartoon. The Ashboro Bulletin carries a big three column cartoon showing Hammer covered with charges of one kind and another and Attorney Gen eral Gregory trying to cover: them with whitewash, while Senators Overman and Simmons are carrying pails of whitewash to him both sweating. Hammer stands in the whitewash tub. The subject of the cartoon is "The Spots That Fadeth Not." It is a very clever cartoon but hardly worth the price. European Hotel Raided. The European Hotel was raided by the police and what was charge ed as gambling was discovered and also a couple of -women who didn't seem to belong there were found. The trial of the proprietors was on as we went to press. These joints if guilty as charged should be suppressed, for there is no real reason why they should exist in this white man's town. Failed. The Mutual Home and Real Es tate Company, of Wilmington, has failed with debts aggregating over $100,000. A great many failures during these good times we read so much about. Safe Blowers At Charlotte. The safe in the office of the Coca-Cola bottling plant at Char lotte and also a safe in the office of the Gulf Refining Co. responded to dynamite last Wednesday night and something like $300 secured by the blowers. ' Mail By Automobile. Postmaster R. S. Galloway, of Winston, has received notice that the postoffice department will make a test of the proposed auto mail route from this city to Yadkinville, a distance of 28 miles, the service to begin March 24 and to continue un til June 30 of this year. Think Of It. Because he has been going after the crooks the Mayor of Chicago has been compelled to ask for a guard Too many threatening letters have been received to make his life com fortableso he wants to be "prepar ed." ; o The First. The Bible handed us the first line oi preparedness, for does it say: "Be ye also ready?" It" does. Reminiscent. Ia thii Department the Old Man writes passing fancies maybe recalling happen ings of forty years affo maybe something of only a few months. All people live either In the past or the future. It Is what yon did yesterday or what yon will do tomorrow. Never what you are doing now. This department is conducted sim ply to take care of those pleasant things that happened as we walked along the road that is now grass grown and indis tinct the road over which we will never walk again. Marooned. During my sojourn in Arizona in quest of dry air and doodle bug ex terminator, I experienced a remark able ten days. In the latter part or middle of January the rain couldn't stop. The great Salt River Valley and all other valleys in the whole bloomin' state overflowed. The railroad bridges and wagon bridges were washed away, and for six full days we didn't get any eastern mail, and the supposition was that no mail got out. I was sending stuff every day, but I feared it was piling up somewhere, and thinking the Madam might conclude I had eloped with an Indian Squaw or a Mexican senorita, I wired her that the dry climate had flooded the whole state and to put in a little watchful wait ing and some day she would get all the mail she was looking for. . But Phoenix was marooned. Cut off from the world, and the wires of the local papers went down. The Western Union had one wire work ing around by Singapore and the Isle of Man, and the Baltic fcea or something like htat but for sup plies, for mail, for exit or entrance we were as bad off as Robinson Crusoe. And it is a funny feeling. A queer feeling to know you are shut off and the mail has ceased. Think of pay ing rent on a post office box and no mail 'coming, and Uncle Sam refus ing a, rebate. Then talk about grasp ing monopolies -why, Uncle Sam is the limit. And while this was on I recalled one other time in my sad, young life when I was. marooned or cut off from my mail. I was running a daily paper at Lincoln, Nebraska, and one Saturday I concluded to go down into Johnson county and spend a day in the country. I got out m the country about noon Saturday and it commenced to rain. A cloud burst, and that being a success an other cloud burst' and finally the Nemeba; river was about six miles wide and the big iron bridge was gone and I couldn't get back. The flood kept up for nearly a week, and I was editing the paper and had left no hot stuph in soak. Walt Mason. who these days is amusing the world with his Rippling Rhymes, was in my employ Adding a column a day of verse on the paper and he added another column writing letters sup posed to come from me in my se clusion. They were as funny as anything he ever wrote making me very ridiculous, but it helped make the paper interesting and took the place of the dope I '. was supposed to furnish. .:. This trip I had plenty of my stuff ahead so I didn't worry about that. but I'm here to tell you that:. being shut off from the world makes you reel like cussing out the railroads, the post-office and all who have to do with it. I might say here that the flood that struck Phoenix naturally went down to Yuma, where the town is below sea level and naturally food- ed those people for fair. In lower California nine people were drowned and not since the days of Noah had such high water been seen as visited the land of the angels. So instead of thanking my good fortune that the Roosevelt dam did not break loose which would have meant twenty feet of water all over Phoenix; instead of rejoicing to! know that we missed the mail for only six or seven days instead of six or seven months or forever. I wanted to whip somebody for the trivial circumstance recorded. And. that is the way In this world.! We do not look to see how much worse it could have been. We do not thank the Fates for being kind but curse them because we get a little of the bitter with so much sweet if we look for it. I hone that I will never live near big water courses. I like my location in North Carolina about as well as any I have seen on this earth. We have some little blizzards there; we have some, sleet and some snow-but month after month and year after year all things carefully consider ed, I am here to write it down that the Piedmont section of North Caro lina cannot be beaten. There are climates where they have warmer days in the winter but there are' other things. The Phoenix climate when it is fine is as seductive as any I ever saw more seductive. In fact take a December or January day down there when it is fine, and no climate in the world will equal it. Soon Be On. The republicans having perform ed at Raleigh soon now the demo-crats'-will get their programme be fore the people. And then from July until November there will be a hot time in the old state. Patriots of all sizes and styles will be found whooping things up and next year the world will be just the same, so far at least, as to what happens in November. The Weather. February went out like a lion and March came in like a Bull Moose go ing back to the republican fold. All signs have failed this year every where, so there is no use to predict. The ground hog even refused to per form, but the weather didn't. In, The Union. The plan of Samuel Gompera to put school teachers in the union is going to be adopted and Imagine a pretty school marm wearing- the union label. 'WHO'S WHO In Dogdom. ' The following story from Los Angeles tells how one of the little dumb friends was on hisf job, and saved the life of a woman. Love your dog: "Awakened in the dead of night by her collie dog pawing the bed covers. Mrs. Emma Sterling, resid ing on a little ranch near here, saw that her home was in flames and was barely able to escape with her life. "The dog was always left in the yard at night to keep away prowlers and the doors of the house were locked. A bedroom window in Mrs. Sterling's sleeping room was left open, and the dog must have leaped through it to save his mistress. "This little home and furniture were completely destroyed and Mrs. Sterling was unable even to save her wearing apparel. A light left in a small -oil heater is thought to have caused the fire." Best Musical Composition. H. A. Shirley, dean of music at the Salem College gets a loving cup for writing the best original musical composition during the year in this state. A Penalty. Those who failed to file their in come tax before the first of the month will now be subject to a pen alty. Were you among the number forgetting this important matter? "EASY MONEY." Generally Gomes High And Often Costs Life Of Ambitious One. Funny, or rather, strange, why people will never learn why men of intelligence and character, if placed w&ere easy money looks very easy, some of them will depart from the path of honesty knowing, if they know anything, and they . do. that degradation disgrace, must be their reward. When Becker fought for his life to the last ditch and was finally electrocuted, it would have seemed that that glaring red light thrown across the track of crimin ality would have been, at least a warning to others in his profession. But he went to the chair. The ma jesty of the law was supreme. There was no pull, no influence that could save his life he forfeited it because he side-stepped, and passed the hand of easy money. In Chicago recently there was a similar case not that a life was in volved because murder was not done. It might have been, however, had oc casion arisen for it. John J. Halpin, former Chief of Detectives of that great city made a good officer. He was complimented on his skill; his daring: his intelligence. Tint Yia saw a short cut, as he supposed, to more money and he used his Rprm- tation to secure it. Strange how men will cling to a diamond pin. a worth less thing, and carry their reputa tion to a Pawn ShoD. But thev rtn "Halpin was finally detected. The rollwing story from the Chicago Tri bune, an epitome of a human life its dreams forever eone: its ambi tions wiped away, is good enugh to print. ine Judge's charge strikes home. The whole thine is ur drama. It follows: "John J. Haliu'n. former rhiof r tectives. spent his first night behind steel bars last night. He was re manded to the countv art had been sentenced to the peniten tiary at Joliet for an indeterminate sentence of from one to five vo, This was his punishment at the hands of Judge Baldwin for accent- " "in criminals. Halpin has hoon nt i . j since his arrest and conviction Ow ing to the brief time allowed his at- i.ufjr, jonn K. xorthup, to prepare his record of the case in an appeal to the Supreme court, there was in sufficient opprtunity for Assistant State s Attorney Johnson to approve it. "Mr. Johnson askpd TOT" ivf?f vtaaVo - - . m which to review tho ranA Halpin would have been compelled iu remain in tne county jail In this interim, nut Judge Baldwin held that the case should be rpvlewer Saturday and therefore the former ponce captain will remain in jail until then, when a writ nf Bnnorsa. deas Will be Sought from Tncti Orrin N. Carter of the Supreme Court, Under Which Halnin will anln obtain his liberty pending the de cision on nis appeal. "Halpin and his attorney and the nrosecuting attorney appeared be fore Judge Baldwin .who. after a few preliminary remarks said: '"It is not the purpose of the court to make any extended remarks at a time so full of pathos and an guish to the defendant. " 'If we may not trust our officers, then there is not much hope for so ciety. It is with a feeling of sym pathy for the defendant and still with a realization of the crime of which he has been convicted that I say to you, Capt. Halpin, that you shall be confined in the penitentiary for a term of not less than one nor more than five years.' " And - there you have it. John Halpin will forever feel his disgrace. He was once the man who detected criminals and sent them along to prison. He was supposed to be a guardian of the peace a custodian of the morals of a great city and because he saw a chance to make a little more money make it easy he himself became a criminal must nerve time, and as the judge express ed it it was certainly a time full of pathos and anguish Tor the erstwhile officer. Can't such illustrations serve some good end? Can't Halpin's sacrifice be worth something to those who plan crime? Let us hope. -o A New Paper. M. L. Misenheimer, a well known newspaper man has started at Relds ville a new paper called The Herald. It will continue to carry the sub scription list of Webster's Weekly put on by the Herald editor during the time he had that plant leased. The Herald looks good. E mm The Artie Ice & Coal Company has reached its present position of prominence and strength through rigidly pursuing the following policy: To get business on a sound basis and to offer no inducements that it cannot fulfill or live up to, by constantly fulfilling every expectation of its old customers, we have attracted the attention of new ones. Promises kept have been the keynote of this progress, and all business intrusted to us will re ceive the most careful attention. It will have the benefit of our great equipment and years of experience. Telephones: Ik 31 THE FAIR. Central Carolina Fair Has Fixed Its J)ate For This Year. The Central Carolina Fair will this year be held October 10 to 14. Now is the time to commence to get ready with your exhibit. Every farm er in Guilford county should take pride in the fair. He should help make it a success by preparing something for exhibition. Sporetarv Daniels says that this year he hopes to eclipse all former efforts. Of couise rain is the only thing to hinder but go ahead and prepare something .and if it rains you can't help it. Child Struck By Machine. Joseph, the seven-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. G. W.

The fact that but few marriage licenses were issued in the month of February has suggested to Register of Deeds Rankin that the women are a little bit backward about propos ing to the men. We suspect it is even so. The woman of today isn't offering to take care of some man unable to earn his own living whereas the Bachelor Girl earns a living and doesn't spend her savings on cigars. This will be a fearful year in the matrimonial world.
