THE WEEK
(By DAN TOMPKINS)
1,'on^res.sman (Icorge M. Pritehard
of this district has announced his
candidacy before the Republican pri
mary, for the United States Senate,
itev.-Attorney Dorsett, of Wake For
est, had already filed his name; and
ueorge Butler, brother to Marion, of
Clinton, has announced that he is
running. There is strong intimation
that David H. Blair will also enter
the lists. With the State reverberat
ing with the battle of the giants for
the Democratic nomination, J. W.
Bailey opposing Senator Simmons,
the Republican side of the house hus
started a sizable light of its own, and
North Carolinians will have plenty of
! politics to keep their minds diverted
until the June primary, after which
; the general campaign starts.
llepresentatvie Tinkham, Republi
can, of Massachusetts, aimed his
guns, before the Senate committee
investigating the lobbies in Washing
ton, at the Methodist Board of Tem
perance and Public Morals, and the
Federal t ouncil ot Cnurches, demand
ing that the committee "unmask the
indefensible political activities" o i'
these bodies,' sayign: "1 believe ihat
this committee can reiuler 110 greater
public service than to do its part to
ward public exposure of the practic
es of these organizations, in violation
of I he principle of separation ol
church and state, so that their church
constituencies, as well as the public
at large may be well informed and
so conoeittu such practices".
Senator J fol lin, Senator Simmons,
and others charge on the floor of
the Senate that Joint .1. Raskob, chair
tuan ot the Democratic Execute
Committee, donated money to help
elect Republican wot congressmen.
Mr. Raskob himself admitted that he
piyoented the Association tgainst pro
hibition the sum' of $Gn,UOO. As
an America^ citizen, Mr. liaskob has
the right to oppose prohibition, and
to give financial aid to organizations
actively working for the repeal of
the 18th amendment, if he does not
believe that the present course is
to the best interest of the country;
but, if he spent money to assist Ik
publicans to be elected, while serving
as chairman of the Democratic ex
ecutive committee, then that action
was indefensible, and Mr. Raskob
should, for the sake of decency, re
sign. !
A newspaper reporter juid a tele
phone girl, two miles apart, had a
conversation over the telephone, and
saw each other distinctly. The new
apparatus for television, that was be
ing demonstrated by the American
is called the "ikonophoue", and is
said to fiave marked improvements
over other attempts at television.

May 20, on the question of consoli
dating _ three school districts and
levying a special ad valorem tax of
not to exceed 30c, and a poll tax
of 90c for the support of the pro
posed consolidated school at John's
Creek.
The school districts affected arc
John's Creek, Moses (.'reek, and
Brasstown The elect ion was order
ed by reason ol* a petition from

school houses in the county was er
ected there last summer.
The present election will not, in

dation, affect the status of John's
Creek special tax. The question sub
mitted to the voters is regarding
making the consolidation of the
three districts, and levying the spec
ial tax in Moses Creek and Brass
town.

SATS: "A SLUR ON HAMBURG '
?
Dear Readers of the ? Jaoksou
Coiinty Journal:- It seems like a
'j&thmity t<* the'' whole county to luu?
one township in it that does not
have one man or woman qoalifed t-o
take the position of census enumer
ator - ?' ? ' i
I have been made to wonder if the
Census Bureau in Washington is so
politically hide bound that it won W
advise .the district managers to dis
criminate regardU'j?s of competency.
I think not; or at least President
Hoover did not think so when Le
? * . -t v* _
said: "Give the censns jobs to the
World War Veterans *? (But they
handed, the jobs down to a district
manager and. he handed? it down to
all who are of our political faith
and order; and they all got together
and handed about three, different
men to take the cen-soa in Hamburg
township. Two of the above men aw
non-residenfs of Hamburg township,
and one of fhera did not vote intbis
State at the last general election.
Now, for the information of the
gdbd citizens of Jackson county, I
wish to say, in behalf of onr good
people of'Hamburg township, that
we have plenty of 1>oth men and wr><
men in both political parties who are
qualified toehold the .portion vt'Cen
?sua Enumerator.
' But it so happened that no Repub
lican availed himself of the opp?v
tunitv, while there wei* other* that,
did. *
Now, we hope that this slnr on
Hamburg Will not be taken seriously -?
by the good people of Jackson coun
ty; and we will try to-dcr better in
the future. '? ~
