He is Lauter L. Yates, who is now 48 years rheu old, but who has suffered from matism since ten years old, and who for the past 26 years has bee kept to an invalid's chair, totally crippled in body but unaffected in m nd or heart. For years he has- sup jorted himself as a fish commission troker, and keeps himself independent. And such indomitable spirit should be an inspiration to the youth of today who are strong of body, but nostly Jazy. . An interesting fact about 'Yiites is that he is a half-brother of MrsJ Ethel Rolfe of Ruskin, Florida; and "while Mrs. Rolfe was a half-sister of , the late Miss' Pauline Hinson, neither Mr. Yates nor Miss Hinson were at all related 1 And this , mixture Is in - this -wise t Lauter Yates is -i'.'iv'c- r-: r'-.?- i-.--.-.-.. j .. a. son . of. Annie Bromell . and James D. -Yates, who was Republican mem- ber of the Legislature from Richmond county in 1894. Upon the dekth of Mrs. Yates, Mr. Yates married Ella Andrews, and to this union a jlaugh ter, Mrs. Ethel Rolfe, was born. Mr. Yates died and his widow, who was Ella Andrews, married Will Hinson; to this union was born the late Miss Pauline Hinson. And there yu are. Lauter Yates is always cheerful, though his hands and his body are bent and knotted from rheumatism. He says he has lots to be thankful for sort of like the old womin who had only two teeth,' but, says she, "thank God they hit!" AMONG the governmental proposi tions voted upon at the last" election, we note : - In Arkansas, a constitutional amendment requjjring daily : reading in schools approved Bible In California, a $35,000,000 bond - .issue to bridge the Golden Gate - won. 5 1 I 'x In Oregon, a proposal to prohibit : " he sale, manufacture, transporfetjon or advertisement of cigars peaten . i3-ta-l. , n Louisiana, Confederate pensions 5 -upped from $30 to $60 per month ' ;in Nebraska,, an $8,000,000 Jbond 'guar- "-issue 'to replenish the State's :anty fund" from which deposit ors of failed banks were to be repaid de feated. ': In Oklahoma, women were deter- mined -ineligible r for - the goiernor- hip. ' 4 9 -EFFECTIVE Nov. 7th, the Sea - ' board swapped its regular, stei inx en gine passengertrain between Hamlet 1 . and Wilmington, for a j gasoline en .gine train. It takes a -gallon and a ' -J , quart of gasoline, or 85' gallons for . t :heit0-;m1ar;4rain' cp.hs.ists; of ; jtwo long coaches. - 'THE - wonder is that in ; the tre- mendous rush of going to press, ,the dailies don't make j more " errors. The New York Telegram, last week made a blunder in printing Toady's adver- tisement. The advtread "$5S.75 coats for $8.94, and $13.74 dresses V ' -'-.' - mC - if or $48.75." When reaUyJthe $13.74 dresses should have been $8.94 and the $58.75 coats $48.75. Used .to ? seeing and - deciphering typographical errors, few newspaper readers know precisely how they come .about. Characteristic mistakes in.' news texts are transposition 'amy" for "may", "ear" f or "era" ) and substitution ( "bottle" .. for , "bat tle,'? "love" for "live"). Printing of a $50,000 libel suit against the Tele- gram, aucn errors are : causea oy a finger-slip of the linotype operator, whose typesetting machine has s a lower-case keyboard arranged in this manner: E S C V X T H M B Z A R F G ODWK I L Y Q N U P J (The first two. vertical' lines, read ing downward "etaoin shrdlu," often appear in print. Having felt himself make a slip, the liriotypist will run his fingers down those two lines to make an obviously pied line of type which the proof staff will surely, but does not always, catch.) AND the above calls to mind three errors in the Post-Dispatch last week. It was Mrs. J. D. Covington and not Mrs. J. W. Covington who died Nov. 9th. . And Charles L. Bowen, who died Nov. 5th, was white and not colored. And lastly, but by no means least, the misreading of manuscript copy in Mrs Thomas' -poem and the substitution of the word" "adore" for the -"word "abhor" simply . got that good ,lady on' our earsT " Her: line should have read "for sin ; I do abhor;" but we printed it 'for sin I do adore." But we haven't called any one bottle-scared for bottle-scarred, nor battle-scared for battle-scarred. DOUBTERS in the county as to what the demonstration clubs are do ing- would have been; put to rout , had they peeped into the courthouse Nov. 13th and saw that happy group of women observing county-wide "Achievement Day." See page 2. BOBBY JONES, the greatest amateur golfer of all time, this week announced his relinguishment of his amateur standing. He has contract ed with Warner Bros, to make . 12 one-reel talkies ""on golf, arid to re ceive a quarter of a million dollars for this. He is but 28, married and practices law in Atlanta.; THIS paper's early season predic tion, of the standing of. the "Big Five" is knocked all awry- Davidson took- Carolina down last Saturday 7-6. It looks all Duke now and may be all Duke for many years to come. It is common gossip that within another two years Duke may drop Wake Forest, Davidson and. pos sibly State, and branch out ' after National honors---a bunch of roving Methodists a la Notre Dame's Catho lics. ' " . ' - - , ; Another bit of gossip is that af ter South Carolina trounced Duke 22-0 in the first game of the season, DeHart turned the coaching of the team over to the two new Freshmen coaches sent to Durham j by Wallace 'Wade prior to his; own" doming Kero next summer, and that these- two Wade men- have- revolutionized the Duke team.

The U. of Southern California was licking the U. of California so terribly 74-0- that. the last period was cut . short five minutes. WASHINGTON STATE has won the West . Coast championship, and will be the defender in the Bowl of Roses game Jan. 1st. Alabama will be the opponent. This will1 make Alabama's third trip to the. Bowl . in 1926 she won 20-19. over- U. of Washington, and held Stanford to 7-7 tie in 1927. And it is Alabama's coach Wallace Wade who will re port for duty at Duke in 1931! AT the general election in Novem ber. 1900. a primary was held as between F. M. Simmons and Gen Julian S. Carr for the U. S. Seriate. Simmons carried Richmond , county by two to one. The only township he lost in the county was Marks Creek. History may repeat"' itself, but it didn't 30 years later.',, tin the June, 1930, primary between" Bailey and Simmons, Marks Creek township reversed its 1900 antipathy and gave Simmons 801 to 441 for Josiah W. Bailey. HOOVERCRACY, collapsed in Ala. rbama Nov. 4th when John H. Bank- head defeated Thomas Heflin for the U. S. Senate by over 70,000 majority. Here is one of tfie jinkles used by the Bankheadistas in the campaign: "Hoover blows the wnlstj u . . - f DePrfest rings the bt?if ' Heflin cries 'AUAYoard ' And business goes to hell!" - Adore" Incorrectly Printed In Poem for "Abhor' A Typographical Error. Dear Editor :- Please be so kind as to correct a little mistake that was made last week typographically that ruined every word I wrote. The word was "adore." - I wrote it this way, "For sin I do abhor," which of course means to hate, a vast difference between ad ore" and "abhor." Mrs. D. H. Thomas Congressman James' Office Congressman-elect Hinton James, for the short term for this 7th dis trict, -has been' assigned office No. 184.

The previous hiirh-water mark was in 1922 when GongTessman v r--7,037. majority over W. B. Love. of Monroe. , .' - Tmbeth's total vote was 38,239 as against 26,576 for Colin G. Spen cer. Lambeth carried 1 1 of the 13 counties, and even in the rockribbed counties of WUkes and Xadian ne re duced the Republican majority, to only 1665. . Richmond county .has the distinc tion " of being the banner" Democratic county 01 tne in aiscnci, iamueiu having secured his largest majority in this county Richmond led with 2305 majority, Davidson second witn 59fi7. and Anson third' with 2023. Union came fourth with a majority of 1876. Even Randolph went Dem ocratic, for a majority of 108 ;s and Moore, the home county of Mn Spen cer, gave the' usual majority, around 329 Davie's majority was 122, and Montgomery 47 1. An idea ; of the overwhelming Democratic sentiment can be gained when it is. considered that out of 7,108 votes cast in Wilkes county, 3151 were Democratic. ; In fact, Wilkes cast more Democratic votes than any couny in the -district except Davidson, which, latter county rolled up 8765 votes lor democracy, and Randolph which cast 5747. Andj Spencer's majority of only 806 in' V .Ikes is a splendid testimorial to the i embattled Democracy -of that mountain county.
