JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
THE LEADS TO CRIME
Hoyle Sink Finds It at Raleigh in
His Own Yard. |
Raleigh, June 4.—The cause of
juvenile delinquency, that leads to 1
crime and fills the prisons, has been
found by H. Hoyle Sink, commission- 1
or of pardons and paroles, right here
in Raleigh and ill his own yard. The'
cause Is very similar to Hie original
cause of sin that enused Eve to err
ill the Garden of Eden. The only
difference is that it is a peach tree
I instead of an apple tree.
“I was sitting on my porch last
night looking at this tree, full of
peaches just beginning to ripen, when
along came a gang of boys, say from
10 to 12 or 14 years old, and calmly
entering the yard, despite tile fact
that I was on the porch, they broke
off several limbs and calmly stole a
lot of the peaches. A short time
later another gang came by and re
peated the ‘swiping’ of peaches, all
undaunted.
“Such utter disrespect of other peo
ple’s property rights is what is filling
our prisons today,” said Mr. Sink.
“More responsibility must be taught
to children if they are to respect
other people’s rights when they are
grown. Then the crime problem will
be solved," Mr. Sink asserted.

canvass of the entire state.
"During m.v campaign," said Rey
nolds, “I have visited personally 87
of the 100 counties of the state and

Wherever I have gone. At a con- 1
servativo estimate, I fiave met more j

selves to support me and to urge their;
friends to aid in securing my nomina
tion.
"I believe that my friends form the
greatest political organization ever

loyal and enthusiastic workers from
every- walk of life. My reception
throughout tlie state has been plens
ing and flattering and such ns to fully
convince me that tlie people desire a

"Os course, mine has been essen
tially a personal canvass, for I have
liad no headquarters, no press agent
nor propaganda in my behalf and on
ly such press support ns has been
voluntarily accorded me for which I
am deeply grateful. I have received
thousands of letters from supporters?
throughout the state, many of them
unknown to me, wiio have assured me
of their support.
"In this final statement before the
| primary. I reiterate what I have said
all along, namely, 1 have formed no
combinations, made no alliances and
no promises, save that I would, if
nominated and elected, pledge tlie ful
lest anil best service of which I am
callable to all tlie people of the com
monwealth whose servant 1 aspire to
be.
“Throughout this campaign I have
fought a fair and open fight, seeking
no unfair advantage, and at its dose
I shall have nothing to regret. Nor
need it be said that I shall accept the
result, be it victory or defeat, phi
losophically and cheerfully, as the will
of the people expressed at the polls.
“With the definite assurance of
100,000 votes, I repeat with definite
ness and positiveness, that I am con

LIQUOR AND GOLF
gnaw at church
So Declares Evangelist B. Frank
White in Sermon at Charlotte.
‘Charlotte, June 4.-—Bootleg whis
key and the deadly golf bug are
gnawing away at the church pillars
with such devastating effect that
they are in dire danger of crumbling
from their bases.
tiuch is the opinion of B. Frank
White, New Jersey evangelist, con
ducting a series of tent meetings in
the Plaza section here.
‘The trouble wih your churches
is that you have among your mem
bers too many lazy old worthless
drones trying to hluff their way into
heaven,” he said Wednesday night.
•’They go to church on Sunday
morning and look sanctimonious for
half ail hour and then they go out to
chase a golf ball or bottle of bootleg
whiskey.
“They are a rotten, worthless
bunch, a canker on the body of
Christ's organized believers. They
are not tit to do anything because
they are nothing.
"We have a lot of little pinheaded
fellows today who think they are
ready to do something just because
they have a college diploma, know
how to play golf and can dress ac
cording to the latest Fifth avenue
styles."

advance of 1 to 3 points in response
to relatively steady Liverpool cables,

influences in the weather news, being
favorably impressed by reports of
rain or showers in some eastern belt

too much rain in the southwest, as
the outlook was said to be for gener
ally unsettled or threatening condi
tions.

July eased off to 18.34 while Decem

POLLS OPEN ALL DAY
FOR PRIMARY TOMORROW ;
Voters Can Begin Voting at Early
?• nr Continue Until Sunset
The polls-will open at an early
lioui luuiurrow for l’ne Democratic
primary and remain open until sun-j
set. The law governing primaries |
is much the same as the law govern-;
ing elections, the clauses governing;
the opening and closing of the polls 1
being the same.
Only Democrats or those persons
who expect to support the Democrat- 1
ic nominee in the fall election, are
eligible to vote tomorrow.
Due to the fact that the polls will
not close until after 7 o'clock it. | s
| probably will be several hours later j 1
| before t*jie results are known in the ! |
| county. All judges and registrars j'
have been asked to send in the re- 1
j suits of their precincts to this office 1
; and our friends are’ invited to come
| in and secure such information as is
j available.
j It is probable that state-wide in- :
i formation will be lacking until after ;
'midnight, and ibis will not be posted
al this office.
; Cabarrus people ns a whole are in- *
terested in only two races—the Over- '
man-Reynolds and the Long-Brittain ]
contests. These are the only ones J
in which Cabarrus people will par
ticipate.
Indications now are that there will (
• be an exceedingly light vote through- '
out the state. While it is probable ,
that Concord and Kannapolis voters ,
will respond rather liberally, voters
in the rural districts are not expected ,
to go to .the polls in large numbers.
All of the candidates to be voted :
on by Cabarrus people have friends
in the county but it is generally
agreed that Mr. Long and Senator
Overman have the most strength.
Friends of Mr. Reynolds have been
somewhat active but they have not
waged an aggressive campaign by any
means, and although Senator Over
man's forces have not contested much
for the local vote, he is expected to
get the votes of those persons who
have known him politically at least,
for years and who feel that he de
serves further recognition for his long
Mr. Long is well known in Ca
barrus while Mr. Rrittain is among
strangers here. This fact is expect
ed to work to the advantage of Mr.
Long, who has served with success
for the past four years.
■ Judges are again asked to send in
the results to this office as soon as
[ possible after the polls are closed.

1 Mesopotamia believe they have locat
