The people, ami especially the Meth odist people, are entitled to know all that is going on inside 1 ho inner cir cle of their church, unless they are expected to accept blindly tlie de cisions of the bishops or the epis copacy committee, on the same gen eral theory as the doctrine of the in fallahility of the Pope. The obly source of information for most of them is the public press. Josephus Daniels, ene of the foremost publish ers of the Southland, and a promi nent Methodist layman, objected to the action of tlie Conference from the floor. It seems that the Church is as human as the rest of us in wanting the publicity that it wants and not wanting the publicity that it doesn't want; but the duty of newspapers is to give the people the truth, if they can lind out what tine truth is, regardless of whom it helps or whom it hurts. A mol) in Sherman, Texas, i licens ed at the brutal crime of a Negro, burned down Grayson County's $60, 000.00 court house, in order to take his life, and set lire to three blocks of buildtngs in the Negro section of the city. Sherman was placed under martial law, because of the rioting, and twenty-six alleged members ol'j the mob have been arrested. President Homer has indicated I thai he mnv visit the (Jreat Snokv' x ' ? . * I Mountains National Park;, this fall.; i r~ . i A movement is on loot in the (I011-j eral Conference of the Southern Methodists in Dallas, to change the; term of office of t?ho bishops from I life to lit years. It/would do much tixz' riu; <*imrcli, which is . . ** v ** . ^ needed. A constitutional plan ioj change the form of church govern-; nient from ? pi-?.>paIi<) 11 to congre eatioual met with overwhelming de feat. Drunks make a nuisance and a menace of themselves evervwhere. Up in New \ork, a drunken passenger attempted to take the controls of an airplane from the pilot, while .'{<?00 feet in the air. A short battle endued, wiih the other lour passen gers, frightened for their lives, mid the pilot landed a blow on the chill, knocking out the drunk, and dc-j seem led to the landing field. Al Wilmington, on Confederate Memorial Day, last Saturday, the 1 nitcd Daughters ol the Conlederacyj placed a marker ai the grave of uj Negro who hi'd served North Car olina and the South, back in the Six ties. V : To every man who remembers his childhood and the attachment he had for his dog or pony, one of the sad dest tragedies that has recently oc curred on the highways of North Carolina, was that of a little boy, riding his |?ony along on Sunday af ternoon, down in Cleveland county, when a Charlotte car struck the. jhmiv, injuring it so badly that it had to be killed. Only a j>ony, sure; but i a broken-hearted little boy, who was J happy a few minutes before. The Charlotte men claimed that they were forced against the little boy and his jKUiy, by a South Carolina ear, driv en by a woman. There must be some way evolved to force the thoughtless and heedless to have regard lor the rights of other people on the high ways, even though it be a little boy and his pony. If the responsibility can be placed, T would like to be both the jury that tries that case,I and the judge that passes the sen-J tenee. Compensatory damages would not satisfy the law. Somebody else would have to feel some of the lone liness of heart, that recklessness has brought. Joseph us Daniels, f!. T. Fitzhugh, Judge J. (J. McOowen, and seventeen other delegates to the General Con ference of the Southern Methodists ?ire presenting charges against Bis 'iop JamesCannon, Jr., for engaging in stock market activities This is no trivial matter; but is brought by sub stantial, prominent, and thinking lay nen from widely scattered confer ences of the Church. These men do not bring charges lightly, and are en titled to a most respectful and care ful hearing by the episcopacy com Many Candidates To Make Primary Race Much Interest Is Shown In Solicitor Race Considerable interest is being man ifested among the Democrats in the county and the judicial district in the five-cornered solieitorial race between Thad I). Bryson, Jr., Ralph! Moody, .lames W. Ferguson, John Queen and Harry P. Coo|>er. Bryson City presents the name ofi Thad I). Hryson, Jr., a son oi' Judge1 Thad D. Hryson, who has long been a familiar figure in political, legal} and business circles in Westernj North Carolina; but who is now a! professor of law at Duke University. ? Young Bryson, in , partnership with his father and younger brother, has been practicing law in Bryson City i for several years, and has a number of friends in the counties of the dis-j trict. James \V. Ferguson and John i Queen, both lumbers of the Waynes-j ville bar, are candidates from May wood county. Mr. Ferguson, the old est man in the race, was solicitor a good many years ago, when quite a young man, and is known throughout the district. Mr. Queen has been prac ticing law in Waynesville for a num ber of years, and was at one time Judge of the Recorder's Court of Haywood county, before the (Jeneral, Assembly abolished that institution.j He is well known, and has :i number nf friends in this county. From down in Cherokee, two young men, Ralph Moody and May-' or Harry I\ Coo|>er of Murphy arc in the race. They are not as well known in this end of the district :is .?fir th;- othe'sj.but down their way ? ' i the j>eopIe know them. The raw promisc^Ph be an inter-: esting, and perhaps a close one, with the probability of a second or run-' ner-olf primary in the offing. MRS. MCKEE TO SPEAK AT PEACE COMMENCEMENT, Mrs. K. L. McKeo of Sylvn, the Sin to President United Daughters of j the Confederacy, ami candidate for| tlm Slate Senate I'roin lliis district,I will deliver tlie address to the grad-i iiating cla>s at Peace Institute, Rn-| leigh, 011 May 17.

CLEMMER TO DELIVER CUL LOWHEE HIGH SERMON The Commecenieot sermon for Cul lowhce High school will he delivered Sunday evening at eight oYolck in the high school auditorium by Rev. Oeo. Clcmmer, pastor of the Sylva Meth odist church. Mr. Clcmmer recently conducted a series of services in the Methodist church at Cullowhee. mittee, and the Conference. In the mean time the Senate committee is preparing to investigate the charges that Bishop Cannon was depository and dislmrser of large sums of mon ey in the States of Virginia and j North Carolina, during the last pres idential campaign, in the interest of ! defeating Governor Smith. Owen .f. Roberts, Philadelphia at torney, has been nominated by Presi dent Hoover as associate justice of the supreme court in place of Judge John .J. Parker, of Charlotte, who was defeated for confirmation in the United States Senate, last week. No opposition of any moment .is ex pect ed to develop against Mr. Rob erts. He lives on the politically fa | vored side of t he Mason and Dixon Line; and, so far as is Ifiiown, has [had nothing to sn.v about the unfit ness of Negroes to participate in po litical affairs. * ? ' I '' Itcd" ('agio, lhc heio o l' Army's football battles of recent years, has resigned from West Point, to keep from being e.\|>elle(l, for having mar ried, sonic two years ago, in viola tion oi Army Regulations governing the conduct of West Point cadets. There is one place in which (he army is right. No matter who you are, norj how high you stand, you must re spect and obey constituted authority. The same principle is the greatest need iti Amriean civil life. Teach it to the children in the homes and in the schools, and your problem of lawlessness will be solved. I Continue To File For Countv Offices With the primary only three weeks ahead, and .with the Republi cans ot i he county to meet 011 Sat [ nrday to present their local ticket, j>olities in Jackson County is the sub ject of discussion on the streets and at every cross roads, these days.

Simmons is boiiiL? opposed tor renominttion byi Joshiah William Bailey, Raleigh at-1 torney, and by Thomas L Estep, { who aunounces himself as opposed to the National prohibitions laws. Mr.' Bailey, personally and politically aj dry, stumped the State two yearst ago for (governor Smith and the en tire Democratic ticket, while Sena tor Simmons advised young Demo crats to scratch Smith, and spoke against him in Raleigh. The Republicans have four men in Ihe contest: Representative (leorge Pritchard, .Major Geo. Butler, Rev. W. II.

Everybody in the District knows Zeb. Weaver, who has serv ed Ihe District during the War, and until the 1 evolution of two years ago: unseated him and sen! George Pritch :ml up to Washington.
