ONCE UPON JULY 26th Our debt to John James Audubon for his “Birds of America” is great. Our debt to George Catlin, for his “Manners, Customs and Condition of the North American Indians,” is great er, and there is just cause for giving the now neglected Catlin some of the attention lately directed to Audubon. Both men worked without any other incentive than their own personal satisfaction. Both profited little. Both made imperishable places for themselves in American art and liter ature. Their works are the best rec ords we have of aboriginal and bird life that has largely disappeared on this continent. Catlin, born 142 years ago today n Wilkes-Barre, Pa., as unhagpy a lawyer as Gauguin was a business nan, abandoned his Philadelphia le ?al practice to devote himself wholly to his selftaught art, went West to sketch Amerindians in their true col ors, and remained years at the task, traveling the whole continent to be come intimately acquainted with .‘very surviving tribe. He supported himself by occasional eturns to “civilization,” to lecture on :he tribes. The lectures were not al ways successful, because Catlin sought :o correct popular concepts of Indians is savage, treacherous, ignorant peo ple. He always found them kind and hospitable. Both in lectures, draw ings and published accounts of their customs and life he reflected an opin on of them that he once summarized in these words: , “I am fully convinced, from a long 'amiliarity with these people, that he Indian’s misfortune has existed hiefly in our ignorance of their true haracter and disposition, which has ilways held us at a distrustful dis ance from them; inducing us to look lpon them in no other light than hat of hostile foe, and worthy only if that system of continued warfare What Do You Know About North Carolina?

Nobody has fail- • ed to notice the obvious intention of ! the board head to get to the bottom j , of every charge and counter charge. | But withal, it’s an impossibility to i get this same chairman, who runs the ' board hearings with the poise and equanimity of a veteran judge, to tell a thing about his accomplish ments. j Today this correspondent tried.. “What have you done, Mr. Lucas?” j he asked as something of a starter. “Nothing,” came back the chairman SPEAKING Of'SIMT FLIGHTS!. / ISttMTO* l It Happened Here 5-10-20 Years Ago (Taken from Daily Dispatch Files) July 26; 1918 Mrs. W.

July 26, 1928 Pictured above is Mrs. Reginald Franklin Sprinkle, who before her without batting an eye. By dint of continuous questionings, which drew for the most part mono syllabic replies, it was learned that Mr. Lucas lias practiced law in Wil son for years; that he has never run for any public office (never intends to); that he has been a member of the State Elections Board, of which he became chairman this year, since August, 1932; and that, to use his words: “I’m innocent of politics, ignorant of statecraft.” ' ELECTION BOARD MEMBERS FIGURED IN REFORM BILLS Raleigh, July , 26—George McNeil!, a member of the state Board of Elec tions now probing all manner of charges that the absentee ballot law, has been abused this year, enjoys the distinction of being the only North Carolina legislator ever to get a bill through euher house of the General Assembly abolishing absentee voting in primary elections. This McNeill accomplished in the 1933 legislature when he was a sena tor from Cumberland county. Oddly enough, J. O. Bell, of Hendersonville, likewi&e a member of the election board, was one of the McNeill oppon ents in his anti-absentee fight. An inspection of the Senate Jour nal for that tempestuous session shows that Senator McNeill introduc ed his bill (Senate Bill 69) on January a8 and finally pushed through a com mittee substnu.fc embodying the same principle on Saint Patrick’s Day iMai'ch 17), after an effort to table he measure had been beaten off 25 m 19. There was no roll call on final •adoption, opponents of the bill giving up after, their defeat on the tabling motion. Leader of opposition to the propo sal came from the West, with State senator R. Francis, of Haywood, plead ag with his colleagues “Don’t do this o the West.” Another member of the Senate at he time was W. O. Burgin, of Dav dson county, whose face of the re urns nomination to the Eighth con gressional scat is 'being so bitterly ontested by C. B. Deane, of Rich iond county. Mr. Burgin was not ecorded as voting on the motion to able. East-West support and opposition as more evenly divided than most ould expect, though the westerners ave never bene as strong for absen ts in the primary as in the general lections. Os the 25 voting against the motion > table, equivalent to supporting the ill, fifteen were from the east and m from the west. « Os the 19 who anted to drop-the matter seven were xsterners, twelve from the west. Among those who opposed aboli ;on of the absentee ballot in prima .es were now head marriage last Saturday evening at the home of her parents, on South Gar nett street, was Miss Annie Young Adams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Adams. The wedding was an outstanding mid-summer social event of the city. The couple now away on their honeymoon, will make their home in this city.

One senator who ' voted for repeal will be a 1939 House member—Crayon C. Efird, of Stanly county. After its stormy passage through the Senate, the McNeill bill met a very peaceful death in the House Election Law Committee pigeon hole, from which it never emerged for a vote on the floor. i State Seeks $2,000,- 000 For Schools (Continued from Page One.) and Rutherford counties as among them. Mr. Erwin has been getting in con tact with county school officials al} over the state this summer urging them to take advantage of PWA grants to do whatever school con struction is needed at this time. He made it clear that his department is not urging any county or city to build school buildings just because about 45 per cent of the cost can be secured from the Federal treasury, but he has urged that wherever build ing is necessary that the authorities apply at once to FWA for assistance. He pointed out that North Caro lina citizens will do their part of paying the taxes from which PWA money is derived by the Federal gov ernment and said there is good rea son for the State and its local units to take advantage of the grants when ever it is possible to do so. “After going practically all over th' State to look into the situation, I am of the opinion that there will be about $5,000,000 of school construc tion in the State, which the locrl units will bet at a cost of $3,000,001 by taking advantage of PWA aid,” Mr. Erwin said. % True democracy is the assumption on the part of each and every indivi dual citizen of responsibility for the welfare of his city, state and country.
