The Nyc Committee from tin*
United States Senate, to investigate
rumors of irregularities, large ex
penditures (?r slush funds 1'ioiu
without tlu* State,' and wholesale
<*>rni| Jion in rounection with the
Democi iitie prima it in June, has
eotnc, held hearings in Raleigh and
in Asheville, and lias gone. The
committee, composed oi two Hepub
licans and on<> iH'iiuwrat, stated
that there was absolutely nothing to
the eharges that large amounts of
lutside money was expended, and
that the refreshing nature of the
campaii-u in this State, as compared
with those in other states that had
been investigated, was noticeable.
Thus the committee, instead of doing
injury l<> the Democratic party in
North Carolina, as had been hoped
">y those invisible forces that set
Oame Kiunor to work, has given tl
party a clean slate, and compliment
ed it upon the fairness ot the elec
tion. It i?; easy to start rumors; but
there is not always basis in fact for
them.
.Mr. Dwight W. Morrow, Rcpubli
ean-Wet candidate for the Senate,
up in New Jersey, states that he is
not and will not be a candidate for
the presidency. Perhaps that's the j
reason he was so frank in giving his
opinion on prohibiton.
The president of Cuba has forbid
den puhlic gatherings until after the

disturbances down there, but it wont

! Shaking before a law audience
at Cullowhee, Tuesday night, Attor
? nev (ieneral Dennis (5. Brummitt, at
i tacked the record of the Republican
party and placed the blame lor the
present depression upon the tantt,
and upon the encouragement ot stock
market sjiecu alion by President
Coolidgc and Mr. Mellon. As a large
part Vol" his audience was composed
of college, students, Mr. Brummitt
went into a lengthy and exhaustive
discussion o I the dii terences be
tween the Democratic and Repub i
can parties, and stated that the Re
publican party is the party oi th
favored classes, while the Deiuocrat
? ic party offers equal rights to all
and special privilege to none.
I In reply to Republican speakers
regarding taxation, he stated that
North Carolina is not oniy one ot
Ilk' four states that does not collect
a direct tax from any property in
the State; but that the State gov
ernment collects its taxes liom in
comes, franchises and such sources,
all of which lie sated is Democratic
i legislation, and sends millions ot-it
back to the counties to be used foi
1 maintenance of public schools and
of the' county roads. It there has
been any tax reduction in Jackson
Comity in recent years, said Mr.
i H.u iimitt, it has been due to 1). m-j
1 erratic effort' in the legislature an<i
not to the l-?cal county ; ovcrnment
He stated that the State sent tc
Jackson county, in road and school
equalization filnds, last year, moie
than '$70,000.00. to raise which, had
it not been for the action of the Dem
ocratic legislature, would have nec
essitated an additional 05c on th<
$100 valuation in this county in di
rect taxes upon the property of the
people. ^
Mr. Drnmin.lt was introduced by
A. Hall Johnson, campaign manager
for Zclmlon Weaver, who said that
if the people want the road paved to
Cullowhee, and additional appropna-j
lions for the College, that they
should send Mrs. McKee to the sen-1
j ate ami Mr. Cox to the house.
j lie reeommended .lolin Maney to
the people, as a man whom he had
known for many years, and found
to be a man of sterling worth. Me
stated 'that Ze'oulon Weaver is
man who has proved his worth to the
people, and his friendship for the
veterans of the World War, and
their dependents, ? and attacked the
j record of Brownlow Jackson, as the
' leader of a Postoffiee ring, around
(be Federal building in Ashevillc.
"Brownlow Jackson was appointed
Cntfed States marshal nine years
ago. His salary has been raised twice
land now he gets $4,800 a year and
bis term won't expire until the
Hoover administration expires. Now,
with his sturdy right hand, he is
grasping the teat that makes him lat
and reaching with the other hand for
the teat that makes him latter by
paying $10,000. He's making a miss
there: he'll "never touch it.
"But that isn't the start ot what
the postoffiee ring is getting away
with. Brownlow Jackson has two
.boys. When Dan Hill needs help at
'a high price at the postoffiee h<
i sends out and gets Brownlow Jack
son's oldest hoy to do that einer
geney work, Jackson appoints all dep
ntv marshals and bailifls. Last \eai
lie appointed bis 10 year-old boy to
be a bailiff in United States court
and this boy served his country
nobly and well at the price of $5 a
LIVE AT HOME
- With the election ot" Dr. li. T.
Hunter as president, witii authority
to appoint a committee to work out
plans tor a permanent Live-al Home
organization for Western North Car
olina, the meeting, held at W estern
Carolina Teachers College, ami com
lH>sed ol' leading men from ail bus
inesses and professions in Western
North Carolina came to a close,
Tuesday, after having been in ses
sion for two days.
Mr. George Hoss, superintendent
of the State-owned farms, brought
greetings from the Governor,' and
outlined the program from his view
point. Attorney General Dennis G.
Brummitt addressed the meet in; ami
cited North Carolina progress for
the past 75 years.
Mr. Bonner Ray, Wavnesville mer
chant, gave his views as a merchant,
011 cooperation between merchants,
farmers, manufacturers and jobbers,
in placing North Carolina product.-;
011 North Carolina 'markets.
Mr. C. W; Teague, Macon county
master farmer, led a discussion into
which merchants, farmers and oth
ers entered.
At the dinner, Tuesday evening,
Mrs. E. L. McKee discussed the
live at home idea from the stand
point of the homemakers- -the
mothers.
The live-at home din; er was pre
par^d entirely of North Carolina
products, most of which were raised
in Jackson county.
On Tuesday morning the Training
School gave a program which put
before'the meeting the Western
North Carolina products and their
value. A I ter another round table dis
cussion, President .1. E. Calfee of
Asheville Noitnal School delivered
an address 011 "The Relation of the
Live At Home Idea <to Education.'
He stated that our educational sys
tem should teach us the art of how
to live at home.
The key note of the conference
was that our 'Noilh Carolina In
dustries are not cultivating the Nort1
Carolina market. We are paying
freight and commissions on mer
chandise and farm products brought |
from other sections of the country,
when we can get the same things ot
better quality at home, for less
money.
Another matter that was stressed
is that the farmers have got to learn
to meet competition with quality'
products, properly graded and pre
pared for the market.
(lay. T just wonder how many boys
toiling their way through college
would have been helped by getting
work in the postoilice. From the
doors of how many homes?homes
of Republican and Democratic wid
ows?would $."> a day for being bail
iff, have driven the wolf away?
"Still, that isn't all. Brownlow
Jackson has a brother, IVrt. Bert
!Jackson serves his country as bailiff
'and doorkeeper f?t $5 a day. The
