United States we are publishing- ex-
tracts from their editorials on the
nomination of Cox .and Roosevelt.
REPUBLICAN PAPERS
"The Dernocatic Convention might
have made a far worse nomination
than that of Governor Cox. He is a
man of sound type. Personally he has
general respect. He has a good rec
ord as Governor of his State. He
cannot be elected President." Even
ing Sun (Rep.)
"The next President of the United
States will be a man of mediocre abil
ity and unimpeachable party regular
ity. His name may be Warren Hard
ing. On the other hand it may be
James M. Cox." Globe (Rep).
"The party dodged the liquor issut,
but the candidate revives it. On the
Covenant the Party was vehement,
and the candidate silent. On liquor
the Party is silent and the candidate
eloquent. It Is as shrewd a manipula
tion as could be made." Chicago
Tribune (Rep).
"For the first time in many decades
Tammany Hall finds itself with a can
didate for the Presidency whom it
helped to select. Under all the cir
cumstances Cox is the strongest can
didate the Democrats could have se
lected." Burlington, Vt., Free Press
(Republican).
DEMOCRATIC PAPERS
- "Cox's record for progressive ' legis
lation' meets every test. He will win
because the country wants the Cox
type of man for its President and not
the Hanna type. He is the antithesis
of reaction." Hartford Times, Conn.
"It must be admitted that a Demo
crat who has thrice been elected Ohio's
Governor against admittedly strong
opponents is a man who has a great
deal to commend him to all voters.
The nomination is also a complete
answer to the Republican charge that
the San Francisco convention was
Wilson owned and Wilson controlled."
New Hayen (Conn). Union.
Cox has done things, done then,
without fear, for the benefit of. the
greatest number and not for the few,
and done them well. Politically he is
a two-fisted fighter and after he is
elected he fights for the right, as ha
sees it just as hard as he fights for
the election." Wooster, (Mass). P6st
(Dem).
"James M. Cox is a worthy expon
ent and champion of-the Platform.
He is a democrat and both progressive
and liberal in his three terms as
Govenor. He has proved himself a
great excutive in a great State."
Omaha (Neb). World-Herald.
LEADING DEMOCRATIC OPINION

"Your nomination is well deserved and

"I think it a fine nomination.
think he will win. I shall do all' I can
to help elect Governor Cox."
Joseph P. Tumulty, Secretary to the
President: "The leaders of the Party
have never been so optimistic of suc
cess before election as they are today
as a result of the nomination of Gov
ernor Cox."
Judson Harmon, former Governor of
Ohio: "Cox is an able man and will
be elected President. As a War Gov
ernor he had no superior and his re
cord as a public servant is most ex
cellent. He has been progressive and
fair to all classes. That accounts for
his popularity. While he holds liberal
views on prohibition, he believes in en
forcement of the law."
Governor Simon Bamberger of Utah:
"Please except my heartiest congratu
lations, and you may rest assured
Uath will cast her electoral vote for
you and Governor Cox." Addressed to
Roosevelt.
Thomas S. Blair, Jr., father-in-la-w
of Governor Cox says: "There is not
a better man in the country for any
job. I, of course know him intimate
ly He is a man of the soil, a farmer
at heart, which gives him that blunt
ness, that directness which have made
him famous. This is polished off by
his training as a newspaper man. He
will malte one of the best presidents
this, country has had. Of course I"
will support him." r
Ex-Gov. Campell of Ohio says "Cox
will, carry Ohio by a larger' majority
than any democrat has ever carried
it."
Tom Taggart of Indianna: "No bet
ter man could be named, Gov. Cox is
just the "man to fit the situation."
"Watch us over in Jersey" said Wal
ter W. Vick, Manager for the Edwards
campaign. "Just watch us. We can
carry the State for Cox and Ave are
joing home to do it. The boys at
home are already on the job. Cox
need not worry about Jersey."
Ex-Senator Salisbury of Delaware:
"The ticket is one that will give the
Republicans a hard battle and I believe
we shall win."
Senator Walsh of Montana: "Gover
nor Cox will find the Mountain "States
ready to give him the fullest support.
I am sure that the ticket will carry
Montana."
Charles F. Murphy, Head of Tam
many: " 'Can you carry the State?'
I think so, YES."
MARSE HENRY'S MESSAGE
PRIZED BY GOVERNOR COX
Dayton, Ohio, July 7th One of the
most- highly prized felicitations which
Governor Cox received, today came
from Colonel Henry Watterson. The
Governor said he was paticularly
pleased over it because Watterson
representated to him the ideal journ
alist. Colonel Watterson's telegram
aid:
"Your nomination revitalized De-
mocracy. it will stir tne democratic
heart of the Nation with the reflec
tion of a triumphant past and the fore
cat of a radiant future. To the
bosom of one old Kentuckian it brings

tory." Edith Maud Elderby has a remark

which each guest was labeled as a

the object to secure the name of the
vegetable from each of the others and
also to keep others from procuring

Rat Menace Being
Met By Health Bureau
Calling attention to the discovery
of bubonic plague in several American
and Mexican gulf ports, and renewing
his warning regarding the introduc-
tion of plague trom Mediterranean
ports which are known to be enfected,
Surgeon General Hugh S. Cumming
today urged communities throughout
the country, and especially along the
coast, Xo inaugurate rat-extermination
and rat-proofing campaigns.
"Bubonic plague is primarily a dis
ease of rodents, especially rats", said
General Cumming, "and the disease
can be controlled effectively by mea
ures directed against the trat. The
extermination of rats is all the more
to be desired because of the tremen
dous economic damage they cause."
Accoding "to conservative estimates
made by the U. S. Public Health Sei
vice on the basis of numerous sur
veys, there is at least one rat for
every person in the United States.
This estimate coincides avith that for
Great Britain and Ireland, and with
authoritive figures for Denmark,
France and Germany. The annual' up-
keep per rodent was computed by the
same authorities as $1.00 in Great
Britain, $1.20 -in Denmark, and $1.00
in France. The depredations of the
rats in the United States will very
probably exceed the estimate for
Great Britain." One-half a cent a day
is considered conservative, but even
on this computation, it costs .the
United States $180,000,000 a year to
support its rat population. This does
not include mice.
"The U. S. Public Health Service
is prepared to detail trained experts
to assist communities in organizing i
the fight against rats," said General
Cumming. "Many of our officers have
j had extensive practical experience in
this work, and know how to make it
I really effective. In th& seaport cities
A the work of extermination should be
supplemented by bacteriological laba
tory examinations to determine
whether or not plague infection is
present among the rodents. In the
inland cities this is not nOw neces
sary."; .

has just published a new bulletin en

Elimination and Methods for its De

MISS WILLIAMS ENTERTAINS
AT HEARTS FRIDAY MORNING
Miss Alice Vaiden Williams was
hostess last Friday morning to the
ladies of Warrenton's young social
set at a heart party in honor of
Misses Thelma Clark and Frances
Wimberley, of - Rocky Mount. After
an interesting game of hearts, verses
pn "How To Catch a Husband" and
"How To Manage An Old Maid
School Teacher" disclosed rare poeti
cal genius and produced much mirth.
The prize waswon by Miss Margaret

The Wording Of
The 19th Amendment
In view of the general interest
shown in woman suffrage and the
ratification of the proposed 19th
amendment to the Federal Constitu
tion, and in view of the misconcep
tions on which much of the discussion
s based, it seems timely and fitting
to state the exact wording of the
pioposed amendment:
Sectional. The right of citizens of
the United States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United
States or by any State orV account of
sex.
Section 2. The Congress shall have
power by appropriate legislation to
enforce the provisions of this article.
It will be clearly seen that this
amendment will not establish the vot
ing qualifications for citizens. This
wi I be the function of the States, as
at present. It will enfranchise negro
women on exactly the same terms as
negro men are now enfranchised. It
will also enfranchise white women on
the same terms as white men are now
enfranchised. .
The proposed amendment, will give
he United States no more power to
enforce the negro woman's right to
vote than the United Stntes now has
to enforce the negro man's right to
vote.

Much Interest In District Con
fusion Between Two
Co. Townships
VOTERS THOUGHT EACH
WOULD GET A DISTRICT
Special Ruling From State Su
perintendent Brooks Neces
sary To Straighten Matter Be
tween Fork and Shocco.
(By Howard F. Jones)
Monday was a busy day with the
Board of Education. It was the close
of the fiscal year, and in addition
there was much interest shown in the
establishing of a Special Tax District
from parts of Fork and Shocco town
ships. It seems that Fork township desired -to
establish a Special, district with
Inez as its approximate center and a
petition was circulated to that effect
and was signed by nearly every Free
holder in the district. A petition w;?
also signed in Shocco adjoing the Fork
district. Both petitions were approv
ed by the Board, but in the interest
of economy one election was held un
der an advertisement describing one
territory and that territory being part
of Fork and part of Shocco forming
a District with published metes and
bounds. f
Fork did not petition for such a
district, nor did Shocco, if we under
stand the matter right. But, and
thereby hangs the tale of woe, the
"district voted and . carried as describ
ed and set out in the advertisement
without anybody interested seeing the
"Joker." Of course nobody intended
to establish such a district as One
District, and yet the voters, with the
advertisement before them approved
the district as. described. It was a
case pf voting, for one thing and get
ting another; of asking for bread and
getting a stone. '
Unfortunately there is no remedy
wilhin two years unless the State
Superintendent should take the "bull
by the horns" and rule that it had
not been legally established. This
would be an easy (and we believe a
just wayY ouc of the dilemma.
As the matter now stands the dis
trict will be resisted through the
Courts by interested tax payers.
It will he and the law makes it.Uit?
duty of all tchoo1 authorities to o'.usy
the construction placed on the school
law by the State J5upt..of- Public In
struction. His construction would
rot he resisted and though it might
not stand the test of the Courts it
would provide a "way of escape" for
an illegal act to be legally done. As
the matter now stands the Board and
the district must stand to its own
acts.
In the mean time steps could ha
taken for a new- election and a sepa
rate election, to be held ready for
next year.
It is an unfortunate condition that
nobody intended should exist. But
the moral is "Read the Boundaries
of the proposed district as are set
forth in the advetisement, and not
vote for a thing you might have a
wrong conception of." In the words
of Davy Crockett: "Be sure you are
right then go ahead." If those who
are so loudly opposing the district
had drawn the attention of the voters
to the fact that they were voting for
something they did not petition for,
then all this trouble would have been
avoided. On the other hand, if the
Board had been more careful in keep
ing the territory separate when ask
ing for the election, there would have
been two districts established instead
of one.
