THE SENATORIAL CONTEST y j. rEFEAT of the veteran Cameron Morrison by Eobert, ft, ! Reynolds in the first primary senatorial contest was a surprise to the people of North dry forces of both state and few gave serious thought atvthe opening; of the campaign, based his candidacy on an out-and-out stand for repeal 01 the 18th Amendment. Despite -the fact that North Caro lina-is known as one of the Keynolds . success in the first throughout the country, for sweeping victory-for the(anti-prohibitionists. As the Ashe ville Citizen says:' . ..,' " " ' :! -"" "It h front page news from one, end of the land to the other. Hundred of editorial and magazine article will be written about .-- in the next few dayt and week. The Literary Digest is, bound to take it as a text illustrative of the essential correctness of its much ... disputed prohibition polls. ' ' v "Here in North Carolina, of course, the part that Mr. Reynolds'. . advocacy of the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment had in win ning Kim the handsome vote he has piled up in the first primary - - will- be open to argument Other matter influenced ' ballots for' Reynolds and alsqlballots for and against Morrison. Possibly in the ' last' ianalysisr.thesei other matter were controlling." The Citizen is doubtless-correct, but the Asheyille paper refrains from explaining the nature of these other mat ters" An explanation, however, is not difficult. As any one" familiar with politics and public opinion in North Caro una can vouchsafe, prohibition; -was a minor issue. Of course, there is an appreciable wet element in this state, as in others, albeit North Carolina is preponderantly dry. Bob , Reynold$ received most of the repealist support, but this was not sufficient to give him such a flattering plurality. The thing that-iled up vote's for him was his cussedly 1 ' " 1 ft mi I 1- 1 mm pieasmg personality, mousanas 01 people voted tor nun because he has a warm handshake, a winning smile, be cause his is "Our Bob," without tegard to his fitness and qualifications to represent them m the highest legislative body in the nation. We may be ' wrong (we frequently are) but it is bur candid opinion that the picture will be different after the second primary. It must be Morrison made no campaign claring that he would stand In Washington in order that he might give his undivided at tention to weighty matters then before the Senate. Cer tainly the people of North Carolina are not going to throw overboard a man who has served them so well. The "outcome of the first primary has sr aroused the better element in North Carolina political circles that the old tried-and-trusted leaders are preparing to give their active support to Morrison. True, Bowie- and Grist, who ran third and fourth in the first primary for the Demo cratic senatorial nomination, have declared they would sup port Reynolds. But the stalwarts, such men as the vener able R. A. Doughton and the able Angus Wilton McLean, .. have announced they will take an active part in Morrison's campaign. Then, too, Morrison himself, a fighting Scotch man, than whom there is no more able speaker, ill be . free to take the stump and tour the state. Our faith that Morrison will be nominated in the second primary is based on confidence good lar ileels will reassert itself in the final test. People will give more serious thought in the second primary. They . will not be so easily swayed by a winsome smile and dem agogic promises. They will prefer, a man whose record of forty years in the public eye, four of them as governor of North Carolina, has been unblemished,- a man who has done more than any other living soul to advance the welfare of this state, a man possessed of wide experience, who has demonstrated his ability and integrity and his devotion to the cause of .the common people. ... Morrison will be attacked for calling a second primary on the ground that it will incur heayy expense for the state. It has-been almost proverbial in North Carolina "politics that the candidate, who demands, a run-off is defeated be fore the polls opefi ;'; but this is an unusual case and there are many who believe that it will be the exception to prove the ruler Cam Morrison is noted for upsetting precedents and overcoming obstacles; we hope he runs true to form in this instance.;;; If . elected, we confidently believe the . value of his services in Washington will far outweight any cost incident to the second primary. A CAPABLE SET OF CANDIDATES WHATEVER else might be said about the outcome of last Saturday's primaries, Macon county Democrats are to be congratulated on their choice of candidates for the board of county commissioners. All three of the suc cessful candidates Gibson, Leach and Long are capable business men and possessed' of sincerity of,, purpose. It would be hard to handpick a bettet set of men; for the job. And it will be a difficult job with which they will have to cope. . r 'pus ; - 7 Of course, this frio is not ye elected, but unless some unexpected upsets occur, their nominations are tantamount , to ejection. If and when they assume office, it is to be hoped that the people of the county, regardless of party affiliations, will give them constructive cooperation in solv ing the tangled problems they undoubtedly will have to face.

Reynolds, to whom dryest states in the union, primary will be interpreted the time7 being at least, as a taken into consideration that .before the first primary. De on his reputation, he remained that the better judgment of THE LIFE ABUNDANT CLINIC ORE and more the churches are coming to realize that, if they are to achive their purpose, they must enter into the everyday lives solve the problems of mind lems ot the soul. Christ healed the sick, made the deaf to hear, the blind to see and the halt to walk. The church must do likewise. This is the centralvidea of which has established a center in Franklin under t.h direction of the Rev. Robert The center is in active operation at" Rogers Hall, where a number, of people already have registered to take the courses in right living being taught by Dr. and Mrs. Bell and their assistants. The ill arc being given dietary treat ment and taught to tune their minds and bodies with the spirit of the Christian" religion. Dr. Bell, however, is not; satisfied with limiting his work to the activities at Rogers Hall. Energetic, dynamic, pos sessed of a desire to share with others, he isn't the type to hide his lamp under abushel, ' He wants to spread the advantage of the Life Abundant movement. Beginning Saturday, June 18 he is to conduct a free clinic at St. Agnes Episcopal church. Anyone suffering physical ail ments is urged to come and receive, expert advice. Those attending will be told how . to . improve their health by proper eating and the correct habits of living. Persons suffering from pellagra are especially urged to come to these clinics. Mrs. Bell, an expert dietician, and Miss Vida Butt, a trained nurse, will assist Dr. Bell in these clinics, which wilUbe held weekly. Dr. W. A. Rogers has offered to give necessary medical advise. These clinics should prove of immeasurable value to the county and it is to be hoped that the public will give its cooperation to the Bells in making them a success. Public A GEORGIA WOMAN'S VIEW, POINT r Editor Franklin -Press: . While riding 'on a south-bound train 'I found a copy of your paper on the seat 1 .occupied. I notice ypu give a column to Public Opin ion hence this letter. , Since it is election year and the worst depression of all time on us, everyone should vote for men of high ideals for office. ' Prohibition should not be made an issue in this -next election. In such a political atmosphere . men ar.e chosen for responsible offices according to whether they are "wet" or "dry" with little considera tion of their fitness for public ser vice or their attitude toward the vital problems of industry, tariff, or international relations. Neither the ability nor the character of a man is revealed by his political ex pression on the subject of pro hibition. I think the 18th Amend mend should be repealed and the Shookville -.

Dressed in the simple overalls of a husbandman, he wallowed into the office of a lawyer in the foothills of the Kentucky mountains.

Opinion control of liquor given to the states and that prohibition should be tak en out of national politics. The 19th Amendment gives wom en the right to vote, but should she do it? I think woman's place is in the realm of the home. In going to the polls she .loses her femininity. There are so many women of today taking" up the ways and places of men by voting, drinking, smoking, cursing and dressing in men's attire until men are losing the respect for women they once had and so many women have lost their modesty and self respect in their relations with their men associates. The greatest thing a girl can do with her life is to be modest, be clean, be fine, have ideals and demand nothing less than proper respect from others and it will raise the standard of the manhood of our country and make citizens of them eligible to choose the right men at the polls (Miss) Janie Smith, Gainesville, Ga.

Muse's Corner A man we know, yes, every day. Who walks and talks the perfect way No difference in him any place; He always meets you face to, face As solid as a stone or steel And how he likes to earn his meal; With no pretension, he never frowns, Though all men have their up and downs. I sure would like to be as plain As this great man ; I can't explain; Who certainly isn't one "bit afraid To use the shovel, ax or spade. Though he is one of high esteem, He likes to drive a wagon and team, Or help a feller with a car To pull him out of mud and mire. But what puts me into a zink Is how on earth that he can think And preach and pray and toil and run And still look like he's twenty one. I am puzzled to a frazzled end To tell how true he is a friend To all who would learn of Jesus' ways - 'Tis Preacher Freeman whom I Praise. By Troy F.
