Thi« couple has been married for fifty years, and for more than a third of that time have been personal friends of this editor and his fam ily. During the time that the Deans lived in Zebulon they were next-door-neighbors to the Davis es; and next-door-neighbors can’t help knowing a good deal about each other, when they live in a small town. The fact that w e have only the happiest memories of that time is testimony to the fine spirit shown by Mr. and Mrs. Dean and by the younger members of the family as well. We are glad to hav e an oppor tunity to offer congratulations and best wishes to these friends of these and other days. TWO NI TS AT ONE THROW By Siting “No Convention” the.

Governor Ehringhaus said just j before the election the other day■ that he would not say before hand just how he would vote because he did not want to influence the vot- j m either way. Now, Govemer. j have you been so consistently 1 neutral in your record thus far? And the future—we shall see. AND DID THEY? i Some one said before the elec tion that the bootlegger would sure-; ly vote against repeal. Down in Dare county at East Lake, a place notorious for illicit distilleries and Wholesale bot-legging, the people Voted I<l to 1 in favor of repeal. Ap.d so all over the state those! counties or communities given m -t to law breaking in this r?- j gave the largest vote for r* eal. Quite natural and logical! 808 AND WILL - * The one a and the other a politician. Today both are U. H. ser.ators, but tomorrow t;Vo knows what an flection may bring forth? Th« success of the one lay in his ability to fool the people, of the other in his reading th< vijrjis of the times aright and shaping his utterances according ly; but they both missed the mark. Bob's repudiation is - seen in the fact that his own precinct voted *C4 against his wetness to 5 for him. Will’s home town and county both vent dry against him. RIGHT OF RETRIBTTION Some are already saying that the Dry Democrats will surely punish such officials as voted for rep****l - from such vindictiveness. How ever, it would be rank foolishness so • them to vote for any man who failed to support the vote for pro hibition, since such action would put ar enemy (?) in a position of in fli ence where he could continue to e x«rt his personality and influence against what the Dry- hold as sac red. And when another election comes, why should a dry democrat support the man who voted and worked against what he conscien tiously believe,) in in this all-im portant election? This question is bigger and more important than any man. A little dab of powder and a little dab of paint mak**a son* girls just what they ain’t. “TWAS A FAMOUS VICTORY" In 190* North Carolina went in ■'W'.', in she again says to the nation that though forty seven -rates may vote liquor’s blight in our fair land, she will stand true and firm to her convictions express >ed «o emphatically a quarter of a century ago. By her action Carolina has re pudiated nothing and no one. In a real democracy every citizen should think for himself and should act for himself indepently of even what the President may request. This action of our state shows a quality of conviction and courage of character grievously lacking in national life. Carolina, there she stands! In the face of a defeat proclaimed throughout the land, the Dry forces worked night and day for what seemed even to them a lost cause, at least for a time. But the victors must not delude j themselves into believing the war !is over. That is why this fight was I necessary and if ultimately the war ! is won, -we must go on fighting , againts this terrible curse to the i race for perhaps centuries. This | is no time to unbuckle the sword or 1 lay the armor down, but rather a' ; time ‘for renewed zeal and effort to hold what we have. I-et us again teach the terrible consequen ! ces of drink to our children rn our ’ schools and from our pulpits. One hattle may win the war, but it will ;be the last when every enemy is i conquered. Yes, “Tivas a famous Victory”, but the enemy still lives and fights. Hollowav’s Hits | By James H. Holloway j President Roosevelt and General Hugh Johnson “cracked down” on Henry Ford a few days ago and Henry promise,) to be a good boy in future. It was worse than a dose of castor oil for the Czar of the Tin Lizzie. He has so long consid ered himself the biggest man in | the world he thought the President would overlook his disloyalty in re fusing to come under the Automo bile Code and the wings of the Blue Eagle. The action of the gov ernment towards Ford goes to show that the team of Roosevelt and Johnson have no favorites and by taking notice of the biggest pig in the disloyal litter, they have thrown the fear of God into the hearts of 1 other big pigs who think they are bigger than the government of the United States. Calling Ford to ac -1 count was the best move General Johnson has yet made. I Reports from all over the nation have been rather discouraging as to business improvement. The NRA will be speeded up shortly and the various activities contemplated will soon be under way. It has taken time to plan intelligently in order f to get things started but it seems i to an onlooker that several depart-j ments in Washington have been needlessly dilatory in getting their plans in shape for the great drive. There is too much studying being done by block-heads who should be capable of understanding the prob lems presented to without so much delay. Whenever the so-called Brain Trust begins studying a prob lem you may expect them to always arrive at impractical solutions. What is needed now is immediate action without red tape and delib eration. If the crowd now in Wash-1 ington is unable to act with more promptness than they have been acting, because of their dumbness and ignorance, they should be kick ed out by the President and capa ble men should be given charge. Washington is said to be overrun these days with an army of crook ed. favor seeking lawyers who are doing all in their power to defeat the aims of the NRA and secure for their clients favored treatment at the hands of the authorities. Not all of the«e lawyers are acting in a professional capacity but a large number of them have succeeded in getting on the government payroll, from which vantage point they are serving big more effective ly than they could possibly do in a private professional capacity. There are too many of thi« class of lawyers in the United States Congress for the good of this coun try. They will make their presence , known when Congress meets in January by violent opposition to the President’s program. The press, of 4 he state has start ed an active campaign with the purpose to make Congressman Bob Doughton the next Governor. This movement doubtless has the en thusiastic support of big business and most erpecial’y the active sup port of the R. J. Reynold* Tobacco THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER If, 103,> Company. Farmer Bob has r.eveT been known to antagonize the spe cial interest and he is regarded by them as a safe and sane states man. He and his brother, Governor R. A. Doughton, have always rend ! ered invaulable service to the re actionaries and they are now seek ing to reward him for his loyalty. Both Doughtons are smart men but | neither of them will ever be the j Governor of North Carolina. The question of the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment has . been discussed by three prominent | speakers before Raleigh audiences ! the past Clyde Hoey started j the discussion with an able address 1 last Sunday. Post Master General Farley folowed on Friday and Ex- Senator Cameron Morrison went to the bat against repeal Saturday ! night. All three of the speakers I acquitted themselves well. Farley 1 had the largest crowd but it is in I no sense a reflection on the other i two speakers to sav Morrison madr the best speech of the three. Th* old Mecklinburg Warrior xvas at his best. If his speech had been heard by the voters in thirty cities, repeal would have been defeated by a substantial majority. He was generously applauded by his aud ience and even Senator Bailey, who was the target for some of his most pointed remarks, pronounced the speech the best he had ever heard Cam make. His heart was in his effort and his hearers enjoyed every minute of his address. Cam is coming back and he is going to he one of the most powerful factors in the democratic” party in the next two years. Four years ago he broke with his life-long friend. Senator Furnifold M. Simmons, over Al, Smith, but now he and Simmons have crawled together in the same political bed and covered themsel- 1 ves with the warm prohibition blan ket. Politics and prohibition make ‘ strange bedfellows. Senator Bob Reynolds may be forced to again meet Senator Morrison in a contest for the Senatorial toga. Governor Ehringhaus was on the platform while Morrison was speaking and it was quite evident that he en-; joyed himself immensely. Senator Bailey was in the audience but ob viously was not so happy, as he j appeared to be. while Post Master! General Farley was overwhelming l him with praise. No sane majorl or minor prophet will venture a prediction as to the probable out- i come of the election on November seventh. Most of the members of the Fourth Estate think the vote will be close, with a slight advan- i tage in favor of the repealist. but I not one of them will bet a nickle i on the outcome. The Drys have been j working like demons for the past I thirty days while the wets have been marking time. Thirty days ago, all indications favored the sue- 1 cess of the repealist by an over- : whelming majority, but by almost super-human effort the drys have succeeded in upsetting the wets apple cart. This scribe is ready to concede the drys the victory. If the day is fair it will probably help the dry cause but if the element are stormy, the wets wil be bene fited. The contest on November seventh is only a preliminary skir mish anyway, the real fight might ( come when the attempt is made to repeal, or modify, the Turlington act. Every office holder and politi-, cian in North Carolina, is looking forward to that fight with fear and trembling. It is said that a King once offered his kingdom for a horse. Every democratic politician in thi- state j would gladly give his good right arm for the power to foresee the trend of sentiment on the Liquor question so he could get on the winning side. They are all busily trying to pick the winning side and it is almost impossible to get a state official to express his pre- 1 ference for or against repeal. Mr. Farley brought a per-onal message from President Roosevelt to the peo pie of this state. This message will" have much weight with a great many democratic voters next Tues day.Who desire t< follow the aide National party leader. Kay: Have y«»u -teard the Olive Song ?

NURSERY Represent*! ive Washington Current Comment There seems to he some inco herent adverse criticism of the j President’s recovery plan, and it requires nc great measure of per ception to discern that the Repub jliean party, thoroughly discredited a year ago, and still in the dead insect stage, is behind the com plaint. The situation is not new. nor does it come as a surprise to the wise and efficient officials of the administration. Something of a similar sort must have happened years ago :n Israel, to the annoy ance of Solomon, for it is recorded that he remarked: “Dead flies cause the ointment of the apotheca ry to send forth a stinking savour; so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor. , The desire of the United States to purchase gold at a fixed price represents a determination to set tle the value of the American dol lar, but the value of the dollar, con sidered by itself, is not the end im mediately sought. The end ultimate : ly in view is to raise the price of • commodities by lowering the value | of the dollar, and an increase in the price of goods is part of the pres- end recovery plan. In other words, a corner on gold is desired. The ef forts of individuals to control the price of a commodity has been met. with failure in many instances which the past records show. The situation is highly complicated, but the matter reduces itself to two questions; Can the United States carry out this gold-purchasing pro gram alone, and if it cannot, how may it safely count on foreign aid, particularly on the help of England. We are planning big things. The new movement of the government in the direction of ab sorbing gold and fixing the value of the dollar, relative to the price of commodities, is one of them. With so many wise heads at work, most of us can do no more than wait, watch the potency of the pay envelope considered relatively to the market basket, and see whether good or evil follows in the wake. By the action of President Roose velt, a man named Washington has been saved, temporarily at least, from the electric chair in the Dis trict of Columbia. He is said to be resigned to his fate. Recent biogra phers have put the memory of an other Washington in the electric chair. They would have us believe that he was no more than a g od militiaman and an ignorant, hard fisted, country aristocrat. If Gen eral Washington knows what is go ing on. perhaps he is simply look ing down in calm content, resigned to his fate, like his namesake. He has no reason to be disturbed. It will take more than professional historians, magnifying the incident and incapable of broad survey, to convince the public that General Washington was not a man whose reputation will remain large, even in the perspective of time.

V C. - When King Pharoah of Egypt was having an interview with Jos eph he asked: “How old art thou?’ The Civil Service people are mak ing the same inquiry, but imt mere ly in courteous wonder. It is pro posed, though in th* r'a<-.- of some opposition, to shut the gate against certain applicants who own up to the age of forty years. In bringing about a reform of criminal procedure, more has t«> be accomplished than appears on the surface. A court sh< uld b» a (dace where a criminal can tell his .-t"ry and then be judged. The law to the contrary notwithstanding. ,”mnts too often are places which a crimi nal enters with the presumption of guilt against him. H< is not there to bring out the truth, but to get out of something which it is already assumed that he has done. The pre vailing desrespect for law arises in no small degree from the fact that the law promises to act in one way, and really operates in »ne that is quite different. Most persons hate a law court like a pesthouse. When the courts come to be recog nized as friends in need and as wise and impartial arbiters in the instance of doubt, reform will have arrived. There is something radical ly wrong in a system under which a litigant or prisoner rejoices not in the fact that his cause is 1" be heard in court, but rather in the circumstances that he has a “good lawyer.” A nen is credited with 1f57 <‘ggs in one year!
