There is indica tion of a will fit to govern, and a wide knowledge of affairs. With a good gift of expression and seeming broadness of opinion there may be traits of selfishness, which are large ly counterbalanced by the natural dig nity and conscientiousness which is indicative of this degree.

TODAY’S YESTERDAYS May 30, 1498 —Cristobol Colon, call ed Christopher Columbus, sailed from San Lucar with eight ships, on his third voyage to the West. On it he was to behold for the first time the continent he is erroneously credited with having discovered in 1492. He mistook this big continent for an is land, and named it Isle Santa. May 30, 1868 —The first Decoration Day, or Memorial Day, of the north ern states was observed. Decoration Day had already been suggested in the South, by a Georgia woman, but the nothern holiday resulted from a letter sent to Gen. John A. Logan, commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, by an unknown Cincin nati veteran. “I recall that in my German father land we had a beautiful custom, and I know it still exists. On a given day every May, when the Spring blos soms are abundant, the people of both sexes and all ages gather in God’s Acre, as we call our grave yards, to lay floral offerings on the graves of our beloved dead. Now, let me ask, why cannot the G. A. R. in augurate a similar observance in memory of the Union dead.” Logan’s General Order No. 11, dat ed May 5, 1868, provided that May 30 be observed as decoration day each year until the passing of “the last sur vivor of the war.” SUNDAY IS THE DAY Whit Sunday, May 31; Pentecost in Greek Catholic calendar.

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DA\ T May 30-31, 1916—Jutland, only maj oi naval engagement of the war, had its climax 20 years ago Sunday. Yes terday it was told here how the Ger man and British fleets met. Ignorant of Jollicoe s approach—his intelligence staff had failed him — Scheer turned io the aid of Hipper’s scouting force, now locked in com bat with Beatty’s battle cruisers. He had no intention of fighting the whole British Grand Fleet unless he could do so at an advantage or at least on equal terms. When he became aware of Jellicoe’s nearness, his efforts were turned to evading him. But in attempting to retire, he ran into the center of the British line and into a gauntlet of fire. Un der cover of a smoke screen and tor pedo attack, he turned back again. Long months before, Jellicoe had warned the Admiralty that if a chance of battle came he would re- What Do You Know About North Carolina? —-■ ■ ■ i By FRED H. MAY - 1.

It was founded in 1883 as the re sult of the joint efforts of Rev. Au gustus Shepard, pastor of the colored Baptist church of Henderson, and Henry P. Cheatham, teacher in the Henderson public schools. They called \ together a number of leaders of the I colored race and laid their plans be- • fore them. They formed an organiza tion and purchased a site just south of the town of Oxford. During the first ten years support was from donations from churches, Sunday schools and individuals. In 1893 the State made the orphanage a small ap propriation, which has been kept up and increased. 4. Some of the brethren were so scrupulous that they disagreed with any idea of formality, or authority which they would have to recognize.

Caution stayed Jellicoe’s hand now. Darkness was closing in, and Jellicoe, rejecting the hazard of a night bat tle, decided to try to bar the enemy’s way during the night and reengage Sheer at dawn. He ordered his fleet to take up night cruising stations. Beatty’s battle cruisers closed up in three parallel columns, his destroy ers massed five miles astern, protect ing the rear. This was designed to prevent the Germans from passing south and left only one good chance to escape—by slipping around Jellicoe and taking the Horn Reefs passage. Sheer took it. Dawn found Jellicoe staring at an empty sea. The British had lost three battle cruisers, three armored cruisers, eight destroyers, 6,097 killed. The only battle cruiser which es caped serious damage was the New Zealand whose captain were a Maori war kilt. It had been presented to him the previous year by a native chief with the solemn injunction that if he wore it in battle it would bring him good luck. The Germans had lost one battle ship, one battle cruiser, four light cruisers, five destroyers, 2545 killed. Tht Germans rightly claimed a vict ory, but it was an empty one. Bri tain was still supreme on the seas, and Germany was still bottled up. OTHERS VIEWS STRAIGHT TICKET To the Editor: Be not deceived “Stop, Think and Listen.” It is not my purpose to unjustly crit icize, however, I do believe I am con ferring a fvvor upon some personal friends, as well as others who have openly stated their intent to vote a State Democratic ticket, but will not support their national ticket provided Roosevelt is nominated for the party’s presidential candidate. I might go farther and truthfully say that this element is almost to a man for one and the same candidate for governor of North Carolina. Many of them hav ing stated their intentions not to sup port the nominee for governor unless he was their choice. I can not believe that these individ uals realize that their contemplated action mean to State and nation. I do not say that they have no right to pose as Democrats in North Caro lina and as Republicans in the na tion. There is no such animal in North Carolina as a demo-rep. They are purely independent voters and have no moral, political or legal right to participation in a Democratic pri mary. I do not wish to be misunder stood. I do not question their right to be independent voters in the gen eral election, which would be their honorable choice; but I do say no man can faithfully serve two political parties which proclaim such widely opposing fundamentals and do just ice to himself, his fellowman, and his country, they have the right to honor their oath permitting participation in the democratic primary. On Friday morning I heard over the radio a red hot socialist talk deliv ered by Norman Thomas at their convention in Cleveland, Ohio. It convinced me that such organizations as the Liberal League, which is com posed of wealthy, disgruntled Demo crats and Republicans are doing most to foster and develop discontent and dissention which are the hotbed for all un-American organizations. These will, unless obliterate by just govern ment, undermine and destroy our Constitutional republic which has been in the past safe-guarded and preserved by democracy. Believe it or not, you can trace the selfish, unjust principles of the American Liberty League from the nation down through the states into almost every voting precinct in Ame rica. Their friends will argue that a poor man has no interest in this coun try, therefore, he has no right to be governor of North Carolina. Do not be deceived. “The foxes have holes, the birds of the air have nests, but the son of man hath not whereon to lay his head,” notwithstanding this, he was King of Kings gnd Lord of Lords.

FARLEY REFERENCE^ He Called Kansas G. O. P. Possibility “Prairie State Nonenity” By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, May 30. —Postmaster General James A. Farley’s ears must burn as Democratic politicians criti cize, in strict confidence, his recent reference to Gov. Alf M. Landon as a Prairie State nonentity. ( Calling the governor a nonentity might not have been so bad. The implication, however, was that any one who lives in the prairie state region is ipso facto, a nonenty. Anyway, that is the interpretation which Republican spokesmen in Con-' gres>s are placing upon the P. M. G.’s remark, and Democrats are conscious that it is not an interpretation cal culated to be at all pleasing to Prairie State voters. Maybe Farley intended his slur to apply only to Kansas, but Kansas isn’t the only prairie state by any means. Eight or ten of them are so describable and Democratic candi dates, from President Roosevelt on down may need all of them on elec tion day. TOO EASTERN? Moreover, as the Democrats see it, the Republicans themselves could not have chosen a more Democratically damaging individual than Farley to speak slightingly of the prairies. Democratic politicians all along have been uneasily aware that the P. M. G as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is too emphati cally eastern. And he represents a President who virtually is a Manhat tan suburbanite. They know, too, that many New York City folk are regard ed in the West as ignorant of the fact that there is any United States be yond the Hudson liver. Now it is implied by Farley that this guess is correct —the administra tion does consider the prairies of no consequence. FOOLISH Os course, it is foolish to say that the administration looks down on the prairie states; it really is very re spectful of the West. Nevertheless( the P. M. G. gave of fense. Newspaper comment and congres sional speeches prove it. But the Republicans are delighted. They expect it to make plenty of votes for them —perhaps not enough to win with, but enough to be very helpful. And the cream of it is that it was a Democratic contribution. AIDED LANDON Another thing: Farley is regarded as having prac tically cinched Landon’s nomination at Cleveland. He recognized, in effect, that the Kansas governor is the Republican candidate whom ' the Rooseveltians fear. Farley did him more good than could have been done by any amount of pro-Landon propaganda. Foreigner Thinks Roosevelt to Win (Cohtlnucu from rage Onr.i ciety. There is much gossip about hia health, in the sense that he is on the verge of nervous or physical collapse, or both. “All this need not be taken over scriously, even with reference to the presidential election next autumn. ‘What you have teen hearing,’ said a famous veteran of American public life, ‘will embitter more than it will influence the contest. It comes from the class that owns dinner jackets. Go beyond it to the places where the majority of the votes lurk and you will discover a different sentiment. I believe that the President will get back, though with a smaller vote than in 1932.’ “A long tour of the United States makes me ready to risk the forecast that, barring the unforseeable, the polls in November will prove mj friend to have been right. And, what is more important, I found this to be the growing opinion this spring even of some of those journalists and poli ticians who in public most loudly de cry the government.” FARMING INTERESTS “Mr. Roosevelt does not spare him self. He is at work in the morning early. After an informal dinner the remark, ‘I don’t know what you peo are going to do, ibut I must get on with my work’ may well perface his good night to his guests. Indeed, one could not help feeling that one of the most valid criticisms brought against him is that he centers too much in his own hands. But responsibility rests lightly upon his nerves. He sleeps well. His eyes are clear. His complexion is that of a well-exercised, w »th y Ff?o2.e_ {• v. •• _ « iD£/\$ V. • GJAKTeo— — | i ,f 4 l - J May God Forbid That We Have New Graves to Decorate!

He patronizes regular ly the swimming pool at the White House. He escapes occasionally on a fishing trip, if possible in southern waters. His interests are wide and varied outside his official preoccupa tions. Unlike President Wilson, but like Theodore Roosevelt, he is acces sible and has many personal friends. “Besides being a landed proprietor on the Hudson, where his family es tate lies, Mr. Roosevelt is a farmer in Georgia, and takes an active inter est in the large hydropathic estab lishment he has built up in the same state around a spring that he him self has found beneficial.” Common Memorial Day Winning Favor tests, landed 3,000 fresh troops for its North China garrisons, bringing its military strength here to nearly 10,000 men. Apparently seeking to block trains bearing the newly-arrived reinforce ments into the interior, unknown per sons blew up the railroad bridge be tween Tientsin and Tangku, eastern port, where the troops were landed. Complicating the already serious situation, another Japanese military train, bringing reinforcements to Tientsin, narrowly escaped destruc tion when a charge of explosive was set off under the rails over which the cars were running. HARD FIGHT ON TAX BILL FOR SENATE (CoiUinueJ from Page One.) graduated taxes on undivided profits of corporations. Turning down administration sug gestions for such taxes, the commit tee produced a bill which represents a drastic re-writing of the Roosevelt program, and the measure which passed the House weeks ago. Treasury estimates indicated the permanent revenue yield would be ap proximately the $620,000,000 requested by President Roosevelt. Senator King, Democrat, Utah, act ing chairman of the finance commit tee, said he might report the bill for mally to the Senate tonight and let it come up Monday if possible. There was much uncertainty as to how long the derate would last. Senator Black, Democrat, Alabama, who had fought unsuccessfully to swing the committee to high taxes on undistributed profits prepared to file a minority report on the bill. Senator Gerry, Democrat, Rhode Island, said, on the other hand, that while objec tions “undoubtedly can be raised to the measure as reported,” it was “the best that could be obtained.” INSURANCE RENTALS REAL ESTATE Citizens Realty & Loan Co.
