brooks Invites support of his candidacy united states senate Greensboro Man Who Opposes Overman Is Making Vigorous Campaign and Friends Confi dent of His Election. In bis announcement of purpose to enter the Democratic primary as a candidate for a seat in the United States Senate, Hon. A. L Brooks, of .Greensboro, said: "This office belongs to the people of the state. No Democrat has so far announced his candidacy for this office. I am therefore not enter ing the field against anyone. I am entering it for everyone, both men and women." Mr. Brooks' decision to become a candidate for the Senate was born of the conviction that he is in en tire sympathy with the currents of thoughts that are shaping the lives of our people. He believes a vast and complex task confronts the Senate of the United States, and the intelligence and efficiency with which this task is done will largely determine the destiny and happi ness, not only of North Carolina and the United States, but the whole world. "No man," says Mr. Brooks, "has anv personal claim on the people in such a crisis. Vision, fitness and capacity should be the controlling factors in select ing a Senator for this high service." Mr. Brooks, who was born i n Person County, May 2lst, 1871, and admitted to the bar at Roxboro in 1894, has for 25 years fought the battles of Democracy and held a prominent place in the political, business and social life of the state. In Greensboro, where he has lived since 1897, his candidacy has re ceived the hearties: support, prac tically every business man in the city of Greensboro and High Point, both in Guilford county, having signed an appeal to the Democratic voters of the state to cast their vote for him.

If elected, he will represent the people of North Carolina ably and well. During the twenty-three years in which he has been a citi zen of Greensboro, he has at all times, stood for the best in the po litical and religious life o f this community. He is a Democrat in the fullest signification, and thor oughly grounded in the principles of Democracy. Talented, an able debater, an orator, thoroughly un derstanding and i n perfect sym pathy with the best thought of tMe atioo as to the perplexing ques tions now before the American people, he will give a good accour t of himself in the United St-s Senate, and rank amoDg its ablest members." Adv- BOOTLEGGING BECOM ING A NATIONAL HABIT Prohibition Enforcement WilJ Cost $88,000,000 Annually, Congressman Says. Prohibition enforcement will cost $88,000,000 annually, Representative Gallivan, Democrat, Massachusetts, declared yesterday in Congress. There are more illicit suns now than before prohibition became effec tive, he said, adding that the bulk of Anti-Saloon League funds are used to hire special agents to locate stills. "There were 2.006 stills found in Georgia in 1918," he declared; "1,534 in North Carolina and 26 in Nebras ka, the home of the first apostle of grape juice. "Blind tigers are now surrounded by romance, if not respectability.

From Portsmouth, Carteret county, comes a story that is vouched for by relatives of local people who were in the immediate locality at the time and hearing of the strange mystery, bor dering on something of the Biblical miracles wherein the dead were brought back to life, was told last night to the Newbernian. The pnn pials are known to many New Bern and Craven county citizens, and for that reason it cannot possibly be con structed as an idle tale. Mrs. Dixon, aged about (V years, lapsed in what her immediate family and friends thought was dead. She had been ill of late and for a person of her age to pass away quietly is not unusual. Her remains were re viewed and everyone accepted her condition as death, since the body be came rigid rigid and the complexion the usual death pale. She was pre pared for burial, a casket sent for and the corpse was wicui. ds from the neigh- borhood came Thursday night and sat up, as is customary. The Kev.

Dixon and with the assistance of oth ers was in the act of placing the casket lid on when the "dead" woman spoke as follows: . "Please don't put the cover on just now," words to, such effect ,and it is needless to say that everyone pres ent was dumfounded for an instant, and some . even hurried from the premises so frightened were they at the strange occurrence. Mrs. Dixon was removed from the or,A -nlaPAd under medical care. At last reports she was rapid ly approaching her usual sxaws The Newbernian prints the above , v.o Vi i o-fi p ct. authority. A brother of a local citizen heard of the Strang incident and on yesterday paid a visit to the daughter of Mrs. Dixon, Miss Emily Dixon, who in formed him just as the article above records it. w F. r Rrvnnt writes the Char lotte Observer that it is stated at the census bureau that many of the ur ban communities in the South have grown at the expense of rural dis tricts. The movement from the coun try to the city seems to have st in North Carolina. Mortn uaronna s urban population in 1910 was but 18 per cent of the total. A large in crease will be shown this year. It is indicated by census figures already in that, for the first time in the history of tbe country, tne urban poulation is going to exceed the rural. The 1910 census showed that the rural population was 3.7 and the urban 4t.3. it is oeneveu now that the 1920 returns will practically reverse these figures. The largest percntage increases of population of urban oemmunities, with here and there isolated excep tions ,fs coming from the South this year. This is accounted for by the census enumerators by the movement from the country to the city districts. Ever since the settlement of the coun try the South has had very much lar- rnrol Vian urban DODulation. In 1910 the urban population of M . A . . fl 1 1 1 . X the South Atlantic states was uui op: a 1-,0-r ronf whilp. the rural copu lation was 74.6. It is believed now that, the figures will show a large difference in favor of the towns. The Middle Atlantic States in 1910 had 71 per cent urban and 29 rural nnrmlntinn New Ensrland has 3.3 urban against 16.7 per cent rural. The South is turning more to manu factures than ever before.
