W. R. Odell Nominated for
Board But Doubt About
Other : Members—Commis-
sioners Not Nominated.
Democrath of Cabarrus county in their
* primary Saturday chose delegates to the
county convention to be held Saturday
and nominated several candidates who
will oppose the Republicans in the elec
tion in Novenaber. Candidates for all
offices were not nominated in the con
vention, judging from incomplete reports
received by Major W, A x Foil, chairman
of the Democratic county executive com
mittee, and candidates for these offices
will be selected at tjie convention Satur
day.
The candidates nominated Saturday
were:
R. V. Caldwell, Jr., for Sheriff.
Miss Margie McEachern for Treasurer.
L. V. Elliott for Register of Deeds.
Dr. .Toe A. Hartsell for Coroner.
W. R. Odell for member -of county
school board.
J. F. Dayvanlt for chairman county
commissioners.
No candidate for county surveyor was
named the incumbent, W. L. Furr, fall
ing to send tickets to the voting places.
It is believed Robert MeGUirt has
been nominated as candidate for the low
er house of the General Assembly, al
though figures are not available showing
his vote. He had no announced candi
dates in opposition to him in the primary.
W. B. Roger was nominated for cotton
weigher to succeed himself, judging from
meager returns rn-eived here.
It seems now that the biggest tight
in the county convention will come over
the naming of two mentbers of the
county school board. Tickets bearing
the names of the present, membcrqof the
board, W. R. Odelb TVatson Smith, and
..if; - E—AJcAßhder »o tV various
‘ftWfhg places and lifter
the names of Mr. Odell. Rev. T. H.
Spence and G. G. Allen also were sent
to the voting places. The voting nomi
nates Mr. Odell but none of the other
(-undulates seem nomin'ated. The fight
will be made on the floor of the conven
tion.
Mr. Day-vault led the field of commis
sioners followed closely by W. N. Mc-
Kinley, incumbent, who is not seeking
the chairmanship. The other candidates
will have to be chosen by the conven
tion.
Sheriff Caldwell was opposed in. the
lirimary by W. H. Fowler, but in- most
of the precincts of the county Sheriff
('aldwell received the majority of the
votes cast. Miss McEachern, Mr. Elliott

MORE INTEREST NOW IN
LEAGUE THAN IN YEARS
Fifth Assembly Will Open today at
Geneva.—Face Many Big Problems.
Geneva. Aug. 31. —Not since the
peace conference of Varsailhw have the
people of the world shown such an in
terest in an international gathering as
in the fifth assembly of the league of
riations which will open here tomorrow
to take supreme world problems and the
question how best to avert future 'Wars. I
The vast interest is made evident by
messages which arriving delegates and
simple citizens are bringing from
scores of lands, including the United
States. These messages are to the effect
that the people every where want some
thing real active.
There seg{ns to be a feeling prevalent
here that tv suitnble atmosphere for
fashioning some binding and effective
project, of accord amoffg the nations has
been created. Some of the delegates are
of the opinion that the league of
nations idea of constructive friendly
co-operation between governments on in
ternational questions has been the chief
force ip erenjing tfci
they emphasise the ddew that the new*
era of collaboration 'which it is hoped
will follow the successful London agree
ment will act as a powerful impulse to
other and wider pacts calculated to as
sure peace.
Mjany delegates remarked rjm day oh
what is known as the “Ge<<4Ri atmos
phere. A modest worker in the league
secretariat described it as an atmos
phere where 'Chauvinism, qxeepjive
nationalism and loud clamors for state
rights are in bad form and constitute a
distinctly false note.
It is believed here that, tiie min
isters of the state from, virtually every
country in Europe will seek particular
ly to provide for France and Belgium
some secuslty’ and guarantee that they
will not again be invaded, and that they
will try to devise some means to induce
by a general agreement the governments
of all countries to reduce their arma
ments, naval, land and aerial, and thus
permit vast treasure to be deVoted to
projects of peaceful reconstruction.

Dispatch is in receipt of a letter this *

grower of Richmond county, in which he
stated that his shipment of a carload of

Tickle, Labrador. Aug. 31.—The Ameri
can fliers, Lieuts. I,owell H. Smith and
Eric Nelson, came over seas today from
Greenland to Labrador, closing up an
other long and perilous gap in their
’round the world flight. They com
pleted the air jorney from the old world
to the new. speeding across that dan
gerous and icebound stretch of water
from Ivigtut. to Tee Tickle, a land-locked
bay behind lofty ridges, two miles north
of Indian harbor.
With the American pilots were their
mechanicians, Lieuts. John Harding, Jr.,
and Leslie, P. Arnold, to whose unceas
ing labors not a little of the success of
the flight is due.
Ships of the American navy have un
ceasingly guarded thiß course across the
strait for many days.
Just five months and fourteen days as-j
ter beginning their world-girdling tour i
the American fliers landed today in the!
waters of continental North America, j
j They took the air at Ivigtut at 6:29 a.

Tickle ass 1:18 a. m., eastern time. They i
completed the difficult crossing of the|
North Atlantic, beset with mishaps and !
delays In the early stages, covering the
last stretch og 570 mUea—next to the
. Iceland-Greenland flight the ,most diffi
cult of the entire Atlantic journey—in
six hours and 49 minutes. They flew
in a northwest wind which blew from
20 to 40 miles an hour and speeded
their machines at times as high as 125 1
miles an hour.
Today the American army men brought
to a suceeesful termination the first
aerial circumnavigation of the earth, ex

Theirs was the first westbfcund crossing

LABOR LEADERS
Who CaliedTat~the White
House to Get Labor Day
Message From Their Chief
Executive.
(By the Associated Press.)
On Board the Davis Special Train, on
route to Wheeling, W. Va., Kepi. I.
John W. Davis is back in his home state
today to deliver his fourth address since *
iiis nomination as the Pemperntic candi
date for President.
Just three weeks ago lie was traveling
through these same valleys on his way to
his native town of Clarksburg to receive
formal notification of his nomination and
to sound the keynote of his campaign.
This time he goes beyond thf* scenes of
hs boyhood days to Wheeling, to address
there the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly.
Mr. Davis Speaks.
Wheeling. W. Va., Sept. 1. —Those
who counsel isolation for America are
“blind leaders of the blind.” John TV.
Dnvis, the Democratic Presidential nomi
nee, declared here today in a Labor Day
address.
Speaking before the Ohio Valley Trades
and Labor Assembly Mr. Davis called
upon the laboring men and women of
America “as those on whom'the burdens
of war fall with must crushing weight,
to lead their fellow countrymen on this
great subject, to make sure that Amer
ica takes her rightful place in the coun
cils of humanity.”
Adaptation of the political and com
mercial politices of the nation to the hew
conditions in the modern world, so as
to make the country secure against war
was declared by the Democratic nominee
to be one of “the three great construc
tive duties before the American people,”
if labor is to hold the ground that it has
gained in centuries of struggle. Hr
enunciated as the others, the preserva
tion .ofllia. of oftppituHlty'aJoiil
of ,the ’equality of right.
In his treatment of the last two sub
jects Mr. Davis declared himself as fol
lows :
For the strengthening of the public
school system, but against the proposed
Federal department of eduentiori as an
entry on the "fatal path of a state mon
opoly of education."
For ratification of the child labor
amendment so that “human greed may
not again close the door to education that
has been opened.”
Against any “trifling with" the nat
ural rights of freedom of speech, freedom
of assembly, freedom of labor, freedom of
contract, freedom of the press, and free
dom in matters of religious belief and
practice.
Against proposals to curb the power of
the courts, to protect the weak against
unwise and unjust laws.
For the writing in plainer terms of the
law- against the use of injunction in la
bor disputes if that be necessary, to
make the courts stay within the limita
tion already fixed by act of Congress.
President Sees Labor Leaders.
Washing ton, Sept. I.—President Cool
idge’s principal political engagement to
day was with a group of representatives
of organized labor who arranged to call
lit the White Hourp to hear a Labor
Day message from the Execuetive.
No other Labor Day plans for the
President had been announced. The
call of the labor leaders was somewhat
hast illy arranged, and Mr. Coolidge’s
prepared address sought as a declaration
of the administration’s attitude and poli
cies witli respect to labor, was briew.
f President Speaks.
Washington, Kept. 1. —President Cool
idge addressing a delegation of labor rep
resentatives who called at the White
House today, said that the government,
would continue a policy which he de
clared had resulted in “American wage
earners living better than at any other
time in our history.”
“If anything 'is to be done by the gov
ernment for the people who toil for the
cause of labor which is the sum in -all j
other causes,” the President said, “It Will i
be by continuing its efforts to provide
healthful surroundings, education, l-eaes
healthful surroundings, education, reas

Senator Wheeler Speaks.
Boston, Sept. .1. —Proclaiming the ar
rival of a new political cleavage based on
economic division, assailing by name his
adversary candidates, and summoning the
citizens of Massachusetts to what he de
clared was the hereditary tradition of in
novating in national affairs, Senator
Wheeler, of Montana, oh the Boston

Again and again he criticised Presi
dent Ooolidge whom he termed the
"mythically strong, courageous, silent, J
watchful man who occupies the Presi- J 0
dential chair,” and attacked Charles G. m
Dawes, the Republican Vice
I nominee, for "his gallant service In wpl
i on organized labor," while he referredjpr
John W. Davis, Democratic candidate
as “a man who would be willing it seems
to out-Ooolidge Coolidge as a servant of
Wall Street."

the government to the representatives of
the people, for, he added, the two old
parties "in everything but name are now
as alike as the Gold Dust twinn,” In their
•übservieney to “control of a single dom
inant power, centering in Wall Street.”
For ammunition to support hie at
tack, the Montana Senator depended up
on the record of the senatorial commit
tee which investigated former Attorney
Geqeral Daugherty, most of which was
brought out by himself as prosecutor.
Corruption in government, which he mid
had been exposed, he treated as an inev
itable result of “financial cont**!.”-
