CAMERON MORRISON SENATOR The stars in their courses have brought many surprises, Four different Senators between December and March 5 accred ited to our swiftly changing rep resentation. Gaim'eron Morrison is received by the people generally as a man whose inheritance has come to in Congress from this particular districts in the last two months. Mr. Hammer drops out to be suc ceeded by two different men.

At the time of the Gaston characterized the representation: ia strikes The Pilot remarked by another. Senator Overman gives place in the present short session to a newcomer, and Sen^ ator Simmons retires at the close best known group in Congress go out within a few weeks, or we may say that Overman, Sim- Mons, Stedman and Hammer are disposed of in that brief per iod from October to December, and the political front of the state is wholly revolutionized. So the state starts with a new rating at Washington. Cameron Morrison establishes this week a new Senatorial seniority in a the standard of heartlessness al most unparallelled, certain wise men journeyed from the east to Jerusalem, led, so the story run neth, by a brilliant star which they had seen against the even ing sky. They interpreted the glowing light to mean a new king of the Jews. That same year Herod died of a painful and lingering disease, and the new king of the Jews died some thirty years later a painful death on the cross. The cruel king is still familiar in history through hlis heartlessness. The other, an antitheses, is known throughout the civilized world because of his consideration for mankind. He rod is dead. The other king of the Jews is today king of the human heart wherever men can read or listen to the tales of progress. For nearly 60 years Herod ruled as minor official or chief authority, and long enough to impress his name definitely on history. The people rejoiced when he died. When death claim ed the child the wise men sought out under the shining star of Bethlehem jesters hung up the sign, “I. N. R. I.^’ Jesus of Naz areth, King of the Jews. Three hundred years later it is said a flaming cross appeared 'in the sky before Constantine, of Rome inscribed with a phrase, “By This Conquer.'' Constantine was at war for the salvation of his empire, but with the adop tion of the sign he won his wars, and presently was the ruler of the Roman world, then dominat ing civilization, and the emblem of the King of the Jews was set above men never to be pulled down again. The wise men had discovered an idea. The Roman emperor established it. Human intelligence and power have rat ified it. So on Christmas day the banner of good will to men is broken out from pole to pole and , Ralph Page has returned from that Max Gardner had handed Cam Morrison the Federal Sen- atorship, and the people have approved. Governor Morrison has such a large and emphatic following that his selection was not difficult to forecast. He is a man of mercurial disposition, but he has a force that could not be overlooked, and the intelli- of this short session. Four of the j gence to make good. The man who 'h^s kept even a casual eye on North Carolina politics' has known that Governor Morrison would eventually be Senator Morrison, and The Pilot is with the bulk of the people of the state in the belief that the new arrival at Washington will do a man's job there and with credit to him*self and his state. Cam Morrison is a right sizable indiv idual. GRA.INS OF" SAND cessful opponent, Josiah William Bail ey, down the Senate aisle and placed him in his own seat for a: time, chat ting pleasantly. ^ Senator Simmons presented the cre dentials and the person of his former friend and recent political arch-en emy, Cameron Morrison, to the United States Senate. Senator-elect Bailey’s opposition lo the McNinch aippointment was over- riddetn by Senator Morrison’s approv al, who, although named only 10 days ago, will be North Carolina’s senior Senator over Mr. Bailey, nominated last June and elected in November. Governor Gardmer’s appointment ot Morrison as Senator was undoubtedly a wise political act. For Morrison is popular with a large element, worked and spent money in the counties in the present campaign and has many followers in the next General Assem bly who could at least annoy Gardner in his legislative program. Now'they will certainly look at it with friendly eyes. Senator Morrison’s stand on the Me- Ninch appointment will undoubte'Sly bring to him a large number of the formerly estranged antiSmith' Sim mons element, more in numbers, prob- arbly, than will be estrangied in the Gailey following. Bailey can ill afford to break with Morrison, his senior in the Senate and his staunch ally in th3 recent Bailey-Simmons a>nd Bailey- Pritchard campaigns. But, politics, assuredly, makes strange bed-fellows. “Qui^e probably there exists today $500,000,000 of untaxed intangible value in foreign corporations doing business in North Carolina,” Attor ney General D. G. Brummitt said in an address on “Readjustments in Tax ation” before a group of State Uni versity students last Friday. Tracing the changes in conditions in North Carolina from agricultural to largely industrial activities since the first of this century, Mr. Brummitt held that changes in taxation methods must follow^. While domestic corpora tions are ,'paying taxes on their intan gible assets, the State’s taxing sys tem is not prepared to collect it from the so-called foreign corporations, and should be moderated, he stated. “Readjustments in taxation which distribute the burden more evenly will Fri<3ay, December 26, I93Q GAMMACK & CO.

A singularly interesting rally of this gigantic army was sym bolized in the last two oir three weeks in this vicinity. Frank Buchan, modest warrior that he is, seems to have been the Con stantine of the rally, but he was surrounded and supported by soldiers, every man and wo man of them with his hand open, and enthusiasm and kindliness his camp equipage. Local organ izations all over the country, saints, sinners and unattached delegations and individuals, marched in the ranks. Priests, Levites, Samaritans, an occa sional recruit from Baal and Beelzebub, all carrying the one good-will ensign, bent on one idea, to lend aid to that great de fender of the faith that said “in asmuch as ye have done unto the least of these ye have done it unto'me.” This community has had many ! including automobiles, or $898, curious experiences, but never j county, and $68,493,000 in all was such a triumphant rally of not specified, or $684,930 the militant banner of righteous-i * county, the 1930 State Board of ness for the holiday occasion, j ^®s'^ssment report shows.

Jeffress, publisher of the Greensboro Daily News and now also of the Greensboro Record , is mention ed as a possible candidate for Gov ernor in 1936, taking place with other prospects, including A. H. Graham, Hillsboro; Thomas C. Bowie, Jeffer son; Thomas L. Johnson, Asheville, and T. L. Kirkpatrick, Charlotte. Mr. Jeffress was mayor of Greens boro and was elected this fall to the 1931 General Assembly from Guil ford, Just what attitude his “brethern of the press’-’ would take toward his candidacy is problematical. ♦ ♦ ♦ The Machinery Act “requires an ac tual valuation of all property, real as well as personal,” and permits no ex ceptions, Attorney General Brummitt has held in reply to inquiries.

But where would we three thousand people? put another Daddies. The Sandhills responded as counties have recently made valuations never before to the appeal for money, food a/nd clothing, and can f^joy Christmas Day safe in the knowledge that the poor and needy are enjoying it with them.

He points out that the General Assembly can changie the method and make a new plan, however, and suggests that county officials in such counties take uip the proposal with their county rep resentatives. Yet it is quite certain that presently we will have that other three thousand, for those inducements that brought fhe first three thousand still exist and still attract more folks. Southern Pines is just getting under way in its growth. Better get your Weymouth location, for steadily development is pushing farther out that way, and the longer you wa^it the farther you will have to go. s. B.
