The Red Springs Baptist church will have a special service next Sun day morning. The object of the service is to express deep gratitude for the completion of a 334 weeks’ task of paying out 43 shares in the local Building and Lo,an Association. When these shares were recently paid out, three mortgages against their property were surrendered to them. These cancelled mortgages, in the sum of $4,100.00, will be burned in the presence of the congregation. In these recent weeks the local Baptists have been enlarging and im proving their church equipment. The question of the continuance of this work will also be up Sunday morn ing. The recent revival held in the church is unanimously regarded as successful. Dr. Durham’s preaching was very pleasing and effective. There were 31 additions to the mem bership. The ordinance of baptism will be administered to the new converts next Sunday night. Large congregations are expected at both Services. Frank Graham New University President Bailey Sweeps State By Unprecedented Majority Raleigh Lawyer Carries State By Largest Majority In History Simmons And His Machine Crushed; Carried Only Fourteen Counties. REPUBLICAN PRIMARY. George E. Butler, of Clinton, and Congressman Pritchard, of Asheville," In Second Primary. Coming in with uncanny regularity were the reports Satur day night from precinct after precinct, county after county, roll ing up an unprecedented majority in favor of the Hon. J. W. Bailey in his fight against Senator Simmons for nomination for United States Senator from North Carolina. The final outcome, which will be probably 75,000 majority, places the Raleigh at torney’s name on the Democratic ticket in November by the larg est majority in the history of the State. It is a majority un precedented in this State and one undreamed of even by Mr. Bailey’s most ardent supporters. A. C. L.

McNeill Easy Winner. Mr. T. A. McNeill of Lumberton won the Democratic nomination to succeed himself as solicitor of the -ninth judicial district in the primpry Saturday by around 4,000 majority over his opponent, Mr. J. E. Carpen ter of Mavton, according to unoffi cial estimate, with incomplete re turns from some of the counties of the district. ’ Mr. McNeill is rounding out his first term as solicitor. He carried every county in the district by a substantial majority. . Judge Sinclair Wins Judge N. A. Sinclair’s majority over Mr. Herbert Lutterloh for the Democratic nomination for Judge of the Superior court in the ninth judi cial district was around 1,500 votes, according to the best information ob tainable. ^ Mr. Lutterloh conceded the nomi nation to his opponent Saturday night and phoned his congratulations ^io Judge Sinclair. Mr. Lutterloh conceded defeat with returns from Bladen county not in hand. It is thought that the Bladen vote was about 3 to 1 for Sinclair. Clark Unopopsed. J. Bayard Clark received the Demo cratic nomination to succeed himself ,as representative in Congress from the Sixth District without opposi tion. Mrs. Floyd Nominated Mrs. Eva W. Floyd was not op posed for the Democratic nomination for register of deeds of Robeson . county. She has conducted the af fairs of the office efficiently for two elective terms’ after filling out her late husband’s unexpired term. The vote in the Republican primary was very light, but from belated re turns coming in. it appears that George E. Butler of Clinton, received a majority in the county. .

A. Hodgin, at Antioch. Mrs. Conoly resided in Red Springs for a number of years and went to make her home with Mr. and Mrs. Hodgin only a few months ago, after the death of Miss Cordie, her young est daughter. Mrs. Conoly was a devoted member of the Presbyterian church but for several years she had Been confined to her home.

Two songs, “The End of the Road” and “Swanee Shuffle,” are contribu- tons of Irving Berlin. Vidor has treated the play with the sans’ broad sweep that marked his “The Big Parade,” so that it is literally a tense, dramatic cross section of life itself. The cast is an amazing one, the principals being trained as stage players, and the test recruited from the cottonfields along the mississippi, where the bulk of th e picture was filmed. The spectacular baptismal scene with its thousands of white robbed worshippers, the dramatic “wake” and the camp meeting, the vivid prison scenes where the hero finds regeneration, and many other strik ing dramatic highlights add to the intensity of the drama. Besides being one of the most remarkable dramas of the year, it offers some thing new and "exceedingly fine in screen entertainment. Simmons Goes To Washington Senator and Bern: Has to Defeat.

Interest High In Golf Tournament The golf tournament at the minia ture golf course on the hotel grounds is attracting large crowds every afternoon and evening and a large number of players have qualified for one er another of the three classes in which prizes pre being offered for low scores. This tournament was heralded to start Monday (morning but .on ac count of the rainy weather the first part of the week none quali fied until Tuesday. The golf en thusiasts are taking a greater inter est in the tournament than was even expected by the management. The plans and conditions of the tournament have been slightly chang ed since the original announcement was made in the Citizen las; week. Instead of having only on e class the players will he divided into three classes, those making a score between 40 and 50; those making be tween 50 and 60; and the third class Chapel Hill, June 9.-—Frank Gra ham, beloved by his fellow alumni, admired by his State, was today elected eleventh president of' * the University of North Carolina.* The election by the University trustees was the culmination of a state-wide “Draft-Graham” move ment, the most vigorous opponent of which was Mr. Graham, himself. His fiace deathly white the new president mad e his last protest after a com mittee had brought him before the Board. Was For Connor. “I hardly know what to say,” he began in a voice so low the trustees in the back could barely hear him. “I trust you will believe me when 1 say I want to remain a teacher. I want.; Mr. Conner to be president. Isn’t There ’ anything that can be done now to make him president and leave me free to go back to the class room?” “I don’t know of any process b" which that can be done,” answered Governor Gardner, presiding. Drlowried Out By Applause. There was a moment of silence, as Graham stared at the floor. Slowly he raised his head, “Well, with your help and with the help of God . . .” he began and slumped into a chair as the trustees, drowned him out with a storm of applause. The election came on the fourth ballot when Graham had 47 votes and Dr. D. W. Connor, also of the University department of history, had 31. On the first ballot, with other can didates reviving a few votes, Connor led with 26 to Graham’s 20, but on the second the younger man pulled ahead with 30 to Connor’s 27. Gra ham had 40 to Connor’s 33 on the third Ballot. Two less than a ma jority of those present and on the fourth he gained another seven votes. Two Leaders. Though a number of candidates got a scattering vote on the first and second ballots, there was never more than the two leaders that could be considered in the running. Dr. Archi bald Henderson pollel 10 votes on the first ballot and still had four on the last. He was the third highest man straight through. Immediately -after Dr. Harry W. Chase, president of the University, resigned last winter to accept the presidency of the University of Illi nois the trustees appointed a com mittee to examine the qualifications of prospective presidents. This com mittee was composed of A. H*. Gra ham, Judge John J. Parker, Charles H.

But by insisting that to accept was his duty the committee trough him to the hall where the meeting was in progress. Outside he stopped again and beg ged that another ballot hr taken and insisted that Connor was the man for the job. The committee told him this was impossible and one or two I friends, who had heard the news 1 urged him to go ahead.

Robeson Gains Over Twelve Thousand According to figures quoted by the Robsonian from the report of W. C. Downing of Fayetteville, supervisor of the census for this district, the (population of Rdbeson county has increased 12,004 during the period 1920-1930. This is a gain of 21.95 per cent and places the population of the coun ty at 66,578 as compared with 54,- 674 in 1920. All the towns And dis tricts of the county show increases with the exception of Maxton, whica lost 11 in population during this period. RETURN FROM REUNION Gen. G. H.

Republicans Doomed. It is of no great consequence, perhaps, whether the Re; '--’can. candidate is to be Representative Pritchard, or Major George Butter. Possibly it has been high-jacked but at any rate, it is now the Bailey (machine, (and with the momentum gathered in June it will probably roll on smoothly and inexorably un til November. Some strong men in the opinon camp held off this spring believing, as they did, that the re- nomination of Mr. Simmons was in evitable, and that in view, of his record—counted upon to save him in the primary—it would be impossible to encompass his defeat next fall. They were convinced that 1932 would offer a far better opening. The defeat of Senator '• Simmons, the party nestor, probably presages revolutionary changes in the Demo cratic household, and it is a develop ment not without its national impli cations. For this reason, a greater degree of interest could not have been shown in a national election. As to the new order' likely to grow out of the defeat of Mr. Sim mons, it will henceforth ibe looked upon as the Bailey machine, whose operation will be directed by men who have reduced modern politics to a fine art. The Old Organization If anybody had the old Simmons organization which Saturday crushed its founder and chief architect for so many years, Bailey had it in this campaign, but it is most doubtful that the Raleigh man will undertake to found a dynasty after the order of the old one to which he belonged to so many years. Bailey became a Simmons man early in the new cen- ^en, after a long fight for state-wide prohibition; Bailey was convinced that temperance would help by driving saloons and distilleries from country districts to cities and towns. .Senator Simmons was prom inent in the movement and, as state Democratic chairman, justified his own and the party’s course against the terrific opposition. By 1908 when, state-wide prohibition was possible Simmons and Bailey were together 1 vP ter ^ rise and they remai ned until 1924 when Mr. Bailey ran for governor in face of the Simmons disapproval. , Raleigh man’s assignment in J organization never was that of detail man. He was forerunner champion. He spoke for It. T k ’ (Continued on page Two)
