There's Plenty of Time in a Man's
Life for Him to Act Like a Fool
Well, Little River Township was
fairly well represented at the pre
cinct meeting with 23 good Demo
crats present, including Loomis
Parrish, who was converted from
a damyankee Ohio Republican. At
the county convention in Raleigh
we had eight people from this
township, and at the State Demo
cratic convention two folks from
Little River showed up.
The precinct meeting concerned
itself with reelecting all the pre
cinct officers. The county con
vention reelected all the county
officers. But the state convention
did more. Everybody present had
a wonderful time lambasting the
Republicans.
There were plenty of supporters
in evidence for all three of the
senatorial candidates. Ribbons
fastened to lapels read “Graham”
or “Smith.” Everywhere you look
ed, you saw ribbons . The lady
who sat directly in front of me
peered at one gentleman’s ribbon
and asked, “What is Mr. Reception
running for?” The gentleman ex
plained that he was ushering as a
member of the reception commit
tee.
A delegate who sat near me
wondered out loud how they al
ways managed to have those con
ventions either on the hottest or
the coldest days of the year.
Seemed like everybody was hap
py about that convention yester
day, especially the hotel men, who
had all their beds filled.
One of the 13 candidates for the
House from Wake County told a
lady she was wondrous handsome.
Scouts to Put Up Flags
The Explorer Scouts met Tues
day night with J. P. Arnold,
Tommy Temple, and George Mas
sey and spent the evening passing
off tests for higher ranks and
badges. Also, plans were made
for them to put up all the flags
in town Sunday morning for
Mother’s Day. Plans were made
for the first Court of Honor to be
held here in Zebulon on May 23.
On Tuesday night the Scouts
“I thank you for your good opin
ion,” she replied, “and wish I could
say as much of you.”
“You might, madam,” said the
candidate, “if you lie as readily as
myself.”
There were plenty of arguments
breaking out all over between sup
porters of Frank Graham and Wil
lis Smith. We heard one particu
larly fiery one between a lady and
gentlemen in the Memorial Audi
torium. Finally the lady testily
remarked, “We cannot agree on
anything!”
“You are wrong,” said the gen
tleman. “If you should go into a
room in which there were but two
beds, a woman in one and a man
in the other, with whom would you
sleep?”
“With the woman, of course,”
she snapped.
“So would I,” the gentleman re
plied.
So it goes. If there were no
disagreements about the best man
for an office, there would be no
need of political campaigns, and
half the fun of living in America
would be gone.
At one of the caucasses, we saw
one young man standing in his
seat, trying mightly to make him
self heard. Finally an old grizzled
politician, scarred veteran of many
a political fracus, said, “Young
man, sit down, and keep still
you will have plenty of chances to
make a fool of yourself before you
die.”
Well, the time has come for me
to shut up, too.

met with Bobby Kitchings, Harry
Patton, Craven Brown, and Gord
*on Temples. Five boys passed the
! tenderfoot ranks, and the rest will
pass them next week. Scoutmast
ers Temples and Patton purchased
new camping equipment in Ral
eigh Monday, and the Scouts are
looking forward to their first trip.
All the boy scouts will wear their
uniforms to church and elsewhere
Sunday in honor of Mother’s Day.
