A Colyum
Of Thoughts
From Here
There, Yonder
Kinds words have far reaching in
fluence. The belief in what makes up
the Worth While in Life is largely due
the experience of the individual with
other individuals. Hence the value of
kindness.
So one is further from the truth
than to think that words of praise are
unnecessary, that they produce cer
tain characteristics of the swell head,
that expressed thoughts of kindness
should only come from the sentimental,
and that beneath every word of praise
for another there is in some way a
detraction of one's own qualities.
This is false.
True it is that
"Kind words are move than coronets,
And simple faith than Norman blood."
Praise properly placed is the spur
of action. Few people are spoiled by
words of kindness spoken. Many souls
are in sorrow for lack of these kind
testimonials of friendly interest.
Don't delay any action which will
make the world a better place in
which to live.
Speak today. Tomorrow one may be
found in care of the undertaker.
"Why are we forever speaking
Of the warriors of old
Women are living around us
Full as noble, full as bold.
Decorations do not tempt them
Diamond Stars they laugh to scorn,
These will wear a cross of Glory
In the resurrection morn."

SUFFRAGE LOSES
. VOTE IN SENATE
Suffragists who have been counting
on the vote of Senator M. J. Hawkins
to help put across the Federal suf
frage amendment in the State Senate
when that body meets in special, ses
sion, checked his name off the list yes
terday when he tendered Governor
Bickett his resignation. The time is
too short now for another election to
fill the vacancy in time for the special

J session, and the Sixteenth Senatorial
district will not be represented in the
special session. Governor Bickett
stated yesterday that he will call no
session. 4
Senator Hawkins notified Governor
Bickett that his resignation was nec
essary on account of ill health.
While no pledge had been received
from Senator Hawkins recording him
definitely on the side of suffragists, it
was stated yesterday in responsible
circles that he had voted for suffrage
in the Senate last yearsurprising the
champions of the cause who had put
him down as an anti. They had no
reason to believe that he would be
other than pro-suffrage at the specia
session. News and Observer.
A Statement to the Executive Com
mittee and to the Democrats of the
16th Senatorial District:
1 he Governor of North Carolina
having been quoted in the News and
Observer as being unwilling to call an
election in the 16th Senatorial Dis
trict to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Senator Hawkins, I call
ed the Governor over the telephone
this morning with a view of getting
the facts, and herewith submit the
conversation between -the Governor
and myself:
Governor, the News & Observer
this morning quotes you .as saying you
would not call a special election in the
16th district to fill the vacancy caus
ed by the resignation of Senator Haw
kins. Are you cvrrectly quoted?"
The Governor "Yes ; I told them
so. What is the use in calling an elec
tion when the man couldn't get here
in time to take part in the session?"
"But Governor, it is mandatory.
The Statute requires . the Governor to
call the election."
The Governor "Well! I will con
sult the Attorney General, I haven't
had time to look into the matter, and
besides Senator Hawkins notified me
last night that he desired to withdraw
his resignation, and of course, I will
have to await his final decision in the
matter, and in the mean time I "will
consult the Attorney General as to the
law. Whom am i speakincr with ?"
"This is Howard Jones, the nominee
of the party to succeed Senator Haw
kins." The Governor "I understand. Well;
I will wait Senator Hawkins' final de
cision, and in the mean time will con
sult the Attorney General."
"That's all right, Governor. Of
course, if Senator Hawkins has not re
signed,, there is no desire to urge him
to do so; but if he has resigned our
people here wanted to be represented."

Camp Glenn At Morehead To Re
Scene Of Outing For
Legion Members
ARRANGEMENTS MADE
THROUGH LOCAL POSTS
August 15th Opening Date; Pro
vision Made For Ladies And
Plan Guarantees Pleasant Out
ing At Low .Costs.
Daniel W. Terry, Publicity Officer
of th American Legion in North Caro
lina, is calling to the attention of
members of the Legion in this State
the opportunity offered them for an
inexpensive vacation trip of two
weeks at Morehead City in August.
The Government has offered the
North Carolina Department of the
Legion the use of Camp Glenn, near
Morehead City, for a summer camp
for members of the local posts and
their lady relatives.
The camp will open on August 15
for members of the local posts who
may wish to take advantage of the
opportunity to spend two weeks at the
seashore and escape the high rates be
ing charged by resort hotels. Bar
racks and cots will be furnished free,
and the campers are asked to provide
bed linen unless they wish to stay at
the hotels. Barrack rooms, screened
and provided -with ample shower baths,
will be free to all who wish to go.
Board will be furnished on a cost basis,
but it is expected that the board will
not cost more than one to one and a
half dollars per day. Requests have
been made for reduced rates on the
railroads, but the. request has not yet '
been heard from. However, even if
the reduced rates are not secured, the
outing will be an exceedingly cheap
one. ...
The encampment will begin Sunday,
August 15, and continue for two
weeks, but those going need not re
main the full time unless they desire
to do so. They will pay board only
for the number of days they remain in
camp. The Local Post Commanders
are asked to bring this matter to the
attention of their posts immediately
and ascertain how many of their
members and lady relatives wish, to
go to camp. All who expect to attend
are asked to forward to C. A. Gos
ney, Treasurer Encampment Commit
tee, Raleigh, N. C, five dollars to be
applied to the mess fund, for which
credit will be given when the cost of
the board is figured.
