THIS IS THE DAY.
Voters in various parts of the nation today
are deciding who will represent them in vari-,
ous offices for the next several years. County I
officers, Goverors, Congressmen and Senators
are being chosen in various sections of the
I country and about the only sure thing about
[g it now is that not half enough people will vote.)
If' There is another thing that is almost as cer-,
1 tain, too. That is the fact that results are go
ing to vary differently in many places from
■ predictions.* Take this county, for instance.
■ The outcome of the election depends on the
Kannapolis vote and both parties are claiming
■ victory in that town. The Democrats expect
a big majority there while the Republicans
base their hopes on a split in Kannapolis and
a big .vote in the county. Apparently both sides :
are confident their observations are correct, !
r yet it is a fact that one of them will be mis- :
taken.
Similar instances no doubt, can be found in
every State. No one seems to know just what
a certain number of voters are going to do and 1
[ these voters carry the balance of power in
many precincts, counties and States.
And of course, the wets, drys, the World
Court advocates, the anti-World Court advo- -
cates and every other group that favors or ,
[. opposes something, will see victory for them- ’
selves in the outcome, regardless of what the 1
| outcome is. Representative Vare, for instance, ~
is almost certain of election. His friends say i
his vote shows the voters believed none of the
- / stuff about him buying his nomination. His
opfinrfWrtts'u'ilt dharge thathe went further and "
bought the election, while the wets will say
his victory means victory for them arid the
drys will say the people of Pennsylvania just
don't care what happens anyway.
There is always some opening by which the
defeated candidate or party can get out, and
in the long run the election really means lit
tle so far as issues are concerned. Personali-
mean much in some States, such as New
York with Governor Smith, while the wet is
sue means much in other States. In the
South, how'ever, there are no real issues as to
national problems and the States will go Dem
ocratic as thty have been doing for years and
years. ,
Money will be more plentiful than ever At
the oils as it has been in the campaign, and
many persons won’t know themselves how
they are going to vote until they reach the
polls and see how the cash holds out.
The Republicans have no hope of electing
any State officer in North Carolina and it is
about the same with their candidates for Con
. gress. Count/ fights are going to be close,
with Cabarrus included in the list, and with
the uncertain rioter holding the balance of
power.
WILL QUEEN CANCEL TRIP SOUTH?
The railroads of the South, we judge from
certain reports, are not willing to haul Queen
r-» Marie and her party at a loss. We don’t know
if that we blame them. It is right and proper
to recognize royalty yet we do not see why
royalty should expect to spin in. luxurious
trains all over the United States without pay-
ing for it.
Queen Marie will miss the most beautiful
and most interesting part oi the United States
if she fails to come South of the Mason and i
Dixon line, but it looks now as though she will
have to pay her way like any other sightseer.
The railroads, reports indicate, are willing to
make concessions but are not willing to cut all
costs. The Queen may be could add a line or
two to her articles each day and soon get the
difference. It seems to us that it is much
more royal to pay for things than toygo about
seeking ways to get everything for nothing.
MORE POWERFUL THAN THE GOV
ERNMENT REPORT.
• Cotton prices staggered and reeled under the
government forecast of a crop of 1t,454,000
bales but they did QOt fall.
This is Accounted for by. many persons by
the recent movement started at Memphis and
spread to all parts of tHe South to take part
fill 0 f the cotton from the market. Certainly
™ something, was. vyrong when Such a report
could be made without breaking the market.!

J It began to look as though recently organ

■ crop after all. Os course it is too late to save
all, but it is not too late to save something.

Os course all farmers are not hard hit, but

j HOW LONG WILL THE “CHARM’’
i CONTINUE?”
! Premier Mussolini has escaped another as
i sassin’s bullet, and this time he came nearer
I death than’on the occasion when a man tried
j to throw a bomb into his -automobile.
| The attacks on the ruler of Italy are becom
ing more numerous and one wonders how
long the “charm” that seems to protect him,
j will continue. The bullet fired by the last
assailant cut through part of the sash worn by
the Premier, and had it been an inch nearer 1
probably would have fatally wounded him. ]
It will take more than a “charm” or luck to !
,save the Premier unless the people or at least
some of the people, become better reconciled
to his regime. Three or four .times publicly '
tbe ruler has been attacked and there is no ]
way to know how many undiscovered plots i
may have gone wrong. The life of any man ,
so marked is boujid to he shortened by some -
bullet or bomb. 1
Mussolini has meant much to Italy and has J
given that nation more power, wealth and '
prestige than it has had for years, but just the (
same there are anarchists everywhere and they .
seem to be especially sore at the Premier. The '
“charm” protecting the life of Mussolini will be j
more pronounced than any other known if it '
can prevent a tragic death for the Premier. 1
He seems to be a marked man and some of the }
missiles hurled at him will find its mark,

Mai Daugherty essayed a dance for the first time in
his life, a sort of jig-time Charleston. Harry M.
Daugherty smiled a broad, bland smile. After deliber
ating for nearly sixty-hours the jury had disagreed—sev
en to five, according to newspaper reports—for convic
tion.
For more than a month the jurors had listened to the
interesting story of the transfer of $7,000,000 American
~MeHO Compiny "slock. seized during the war. to one
Richard Merton. German metals magnate. They had
Merton tell of a jolly New Y'ork dinner where the deal
was consummated, a dinner attended by the late John
T. King. Connecticut politician, by the late Jesse Smith,
Daugherty intimate, by Thomas W. Miller, Alien Prop
erty custodian. They heard Merton tell of turning over
to King a block of bonds ($441,000) for his 'help and
speed’ in putting the transaction through. They heard__
Government witnesses trace many of these bonds, by
number, to Messrs. Miller and Smith. They heard of a
check sent by Mr. King to the band presided over by
Mnl Daugherty. They heard Mai Daugherty testify
(hat Brother Harry had burned the hank records cover
ing this transaction ‘in his shack.’ They heard Judge
Maek instruct tljem on conspiracy, on bribery. And
then five of them stood out staunchly for sixty-six hours
for Harry Daugherty’s acquittal.
“I have no eompla : nts to make." declared Mr. Daugh
erty after the jury had been discharged. There was one
other noteworthy utterance. “I will not be able to tell
for a month.’’ said United States District Attorney
Buckner, “whether I'll bring them to trial again or
not.”

“ROOMS FOR TOURISTS”. |
Winston-Salem Sentinel.
Lean years are lurking just around the corner of the ;
city hotel men’s road. E. M. Statler tells the American
Hotel Association. A little cloud, no bigger than a
man's hand five years ago has grown to portentous size.
The cloud was and is marked “Tourists Accommodated.”
Mr. Statler hoists the storm signals e’er it is too iattv-,-
The motor-driven traveling public now finds a “hotel”
every few. hundred yards of the road. No longer docs the
weary driver have to make Bingville by nigh'fall and
take his chances on a second-rate hostelry, a smelly i oom.
a snooty clerk and a possible all-night drinking tout
down the hall. He may lie down to sleep In a tool,
comfortable farmhouse to be wooed by the soothing music
of the katydid; and rise refreshed to eat a home-cooked
breakfast of ham and eggs. And all for one-third of (he
cost of a eity hotel.
What the hotel man enn do about this situation is dif
ficult to foretell. Here is competition they will have to '
meet. To do so they can lower rates for transients, and
increase their facilities for a comfortable night's rest. (
And, too, they can take Franklin P. Adams’ advice: (
eliminate the silly tumult of the average small city hotel j
located on * noisy street and not infrequently near the (
railroad yards. t
We wonder if it is not the peace and quiet suggested \
in that “Rooms for Tourists” sign, more thau the lowered <
costs, that really lures the motorist who is nearing the
*nd of his day's journey? j
The word “apron” was originally “napron," derived ]
from the word “napkin,” or “napery.” Some early writer i
dropped the “n" and we have “apron." The same is true '
of: ‘iorange” which was originally known by the Spanish '
innate ”nnr«ja/’ which became in English “norange."

SMALL ACCOUNTS
BURDEN TO RANKS
Paul P. Brown Declares Small Ae
tnunls Handicaps to Banks of Stale-
Raleigh News and Observer.
Banks in North Carolina are
laboring under the handicap of
many small accounts improperly
looked after by depositors and are
doing too much for their customers,
declared Paul IV Brown, secretary of
the North Carolina Bankers' Asso
ciation* in an address before the
iiftcigh Kiwhnis Club yesterday. Mr.
Brown sketched briefly the history
of banking in North Carolina and
gave a vivid acoount of conditions to
day. He stated that North Carolina
was fortunate in that the funds in
tanks were scattered over the entire
State instead of being consolidated
in large banks in one large city. In
June. 1926. there were 596 banks
with deposits of $520,000,000, he
stated. This was a decrease iu the
number of banks of one year ago
hut an increase of nearly a hundred
million of dollars in deposits.
"There are now 4SO State banks.
88 national and 33. industrial banks,”
said Mr. Brown. "We lost 47 during
the year and of this number 30 were
cither consolidations or voluntary li
quidations. Criticisms of banks to
day came from one or two sources.
There was a time when anybody
could organize n hank and many
spite banks were set up. Today the
Corporation Commission lias the
power to refuse to issue a charter to
a bank un'ess conditions justify it’s
existence. Some small banks also
have heavy overhead and must take
r'sky loans in order to carry the
load."
