Democratic Nominee for Con gress Was Enthusiastically Greeted4 Last Night GOLDSBORO, N. C, Oct. 11. Charles Laban Abernethy, a little less than thirty, days out' of the halls of Congress, came up from New Bern last night and talked to Wayne coun ty democrats for the first, time since he started to Washington nigh on, to five years ago.' j s ... .... . Times have . changed since 'then, mightily. Mr. Abernethy used to seek engagements.: to - ' make political speeches in the-Third ' district. Jow the state committee invites' him tto make, them. Newpapers used to te'l, reT porters to write as ' little as possible about ; him' lest' they step on the. toes of a more worthy partisan. Now they say get the wire ' and - hold it C . until he stops talking. - .'' " Times - have changed " 'evri '. within the year,, too. There were two cam paigns in which Mr. Abernethy would have, . . had a . hard time -getting ; a Goldsboro lawyer to say the democra tic party is proud of the Abernethy record. One ; said it, last- night and it was the son Of a Methodist preach er talking about another son ' of a Methodits preacher. ' ' ' Langston Makes Introduction Gubernatorial candidates, several of them, have talked to smaller crowds than Mr. Abernethy spoke to last night. The court house audience, how ever, wasn't overflowing. Goldsboro's evenings are usually well dated up, but what that crowd last night lack ed in size it made up in genuine, un x it m-u-p "" disguised appreciation of the speech. ' For Mr.. Abernethy was strikingly natural. "Four -years ago," ' said he, "I would have promised to reduce taxes or drain eyery creek in the districts, but the nearer I get to Con gress the less I'm promising." Col. George Freeman presided voer ihe meeting anfl presented Col. John - D. Langstbn, who generously present ed Mr. Abernethy. Twas a Family Fight . He referred, sufficiently to the re cent family fight in which his law partner and the nominee were en gaged. Like household battles, how ever, he declared all woundl' healed. "The Democratic party scraps in the family and sometimes they are pretty warm," Col Langston said. "But when they are over, they are done with and against the common enemy its members offer a solid front and a good fight. "The Democratic party,' he said, "is proud of the leadership of its Congressional candidate and proud of the record he has made. He has held offices within the gfiift of the party and has held them well." Mr. Abernethy referred to his early boyhood days in Wayne coun ty in acknowledge the introduction, adding that he knew the "son of a Methodist minister would come around alright because I'm a son of a Methodist preacher, too." Wayne county has cast many votes against Mr, Abernethj. Political his : t 1 1 iu i h illinium 1 . -i j Places For Two .

He referred -to the bonus, touched the tariff gently, slipped, up on prohibition, caught himself and . slipped back quicker. He made the Republican record in Congress a piti ful one and gave some imposing fig ures. Turning to State matters, he tem erariously adverted to taxes as one of the two things unescapable in life's' journey. At present there is no State tax but the income tax and under Harding there has been mighty little income. He had a find word for Dr, Brooks and for system pi 'echo pig, ' ? ' . ; '
