T. COX IN HOSPITAL W. T. Cox of Vass, who has been ' sick for nearly four months, entered i Duke Hospital in Durham last Fri-1 day night for examination, his con- dition having become less favorable. ' He remained until Wednesday, then | went to the hospital in Pittsboro for | treatment. ! Such schools as the North Caro lina Preparatoiy School for Boys, in project for the Sandhills, will fill an existing gap in the educational system of the state, Thomas Burton, headmaster-elect of the school, told members of the Sandhills Kiwanis Club Wednesdayi' It would be a misuse of the taxpayers money to raise the standards of our public schools to meet college requirements with such a small percentage of the pupils desirous of or able to attend college. But there is need in the state for independent schools for those who would fit themselves for higher education. Mr. Buiton told of plans for the rchool here, which would be operated under the tutorial system, with from eight to 12 boys assigned to one faculty member, each group living in its own house. The physical plans for the local institution include an academic building, a shop and studio building, a service center, an admin istrative center, an as.sembly hall, and the cottages or small dormitories for the boys and masters. In all, $600,000 will be needed to complete the plant, but a start will be made as soon as one-third of this amount is available, and this is hoped for this fall. Mr. Burton was presented to the club by A. L. Burney of Aber- deen. Today, Friday, at the Civic Club at 3:00 o’clock, Miss Meade Seawell of Carthage will devote an hour to poe try. On Tuesday afternoon of next week, April 16th at 3:00 o’clock, the Civic Club will present the heads of the Music departments of Flora Mac. donald College in a splendid musical. Dean Eberly will come as pianist, Miss Estelle Cooney, instructor of voice, as soprano, Mrs. Robeson, head of the violin department, will play, and Mrs. Eberly, viola, will join with her husband and Mrs. Robeson in a Mozart trio.

W. R. Clegg of Carth age is seeking to return to his seat tut has a formidable opponent in his predecessor in office, J. Hawley Poole of West End. Poole is not mak ing the mistake he did the last time he ran against Clegg, and is taking the campaign seriously, visiting all section of the county and getti:ig I'e- acquainted with the voters. Malcolm J. McLean of Carthage is also in the race, and those who know Mr. Mc Lean regard him as one who would make a capable representative. Whether his acquaintanceship is broad enough throughout the county to make him a figure in the cam paign is a question. He is busy • x- tending it, and will have quite a fol. lowing before the primary. ■ Moore county will not have a can didate for State Senator this year, this district being made up of four j counties which alternate candidates fleeting two.

A Sound Program of Progress For North Carolina LOYALTY TO PARTY RECORD AND TRADITIONS: “In North Caro lina the Democratic party ha.s, by vote of the people, been vested with responsible leadership continuously for forty years. Under this leadership the State has made remarkable progre.ss. Beginning with Governor Ay- cock, the successive administrations have ju.stihed the faith of the people; and this high recorH has in every respect been maintained under the great leadership of Governor Clyde R. Hoey. If nominated and elected as Gover nor, I shall strive Arnestly to uphold the record and traditions of the Democratic party in North Carolina.” FINANCES: “In its financial structure the State is .sound. The budget is balanced and the bonded indebtedness is being steadily and substantially reduced. This record should continue. I will oppose any measure or ap propriation that will cau.se a deficit or in any wise impair the credit of the State.” TAXES: “Taxes in North Carolina are as high in my opinion as the peo ple can stand. Adjustments may be needed and a con.stant and intelligent study of the whole tax question should be made. The effort should be towards reduction and not increase. The State has w'i.sely adopted the pol icy of no State tax on land, and this policy should be maintained. In order to meet the obligations of the State the .sales tax must be continued, but, in conformity with the pledges of the Democratic party, all food for home consumption should be exempted. ‘Let us take the sales tax off the home table.’ The improvement in business as reflected in increased revenue under our pre.sent laws will now justify thi.s action.” ROADS: Unqualified opposition to any diversion of highway fund.s. Ade quate provision throughout the State for all-weather farm-to-market and home-to-school roads. Continued new construction with adequate mainte nance and the elimination of narrow bridges. SCHOOLS: <1) Adequate and immediate provision for teachers’ retire ment fund; (2) Piovision for sick leave without loss or pay: (.3) Im provement in compensation to teachers; (4) Reasonable a.ssurance as to teaching tenure: (5) Continued emphasis on vocational guidance and train ing; (6) Encouragement of Federal aid without any Federal control. HEALTH PR0(JRAMj “Our public health program, already ranking high among the states, will be carried forward with increasing u.sefulne.ss. Every dollar spent for public health is a sound economic investment.” CONSERVATION AND DEVEI.OPMENT: Enlargement of this work; continued advertising of State’s resources and resorts; no diversion of fish and game license receipts; fullest development of fish and oyster in dustry. RETIREMENT Fl’NDS: All employees of the State, including teachers* should be put on a reasonable retirement plan, with contribution by the employees and by the State. Especial provision should be made for retire ment as well a.-^ death or disability benefits for all law enforcement offi cers of the State, counties and municipalities, and all costs collected should go into this fund and not be diverted for other purposes. PENSIONS. Provisions of the law for old age assistance should be con tinued and increa.sed when revenues permit. The provisions of the Social Security law should be continued as a fixed policy. AGRICULTIIRE: “North Carolina ranks near the top as an agricultural state. A substantial majority of all the people of the State are concerned with agricultural conditions. We are facing an agricultural crisis. Every agency of the State should cooperate in improving marketing facilities, road conditions and other conditions affecting the welfare of the far mer. The State should cooperate fully with the Federal governmeftt in get ting benefits for the farmer.” LAW ENFORCEMENT; “A great majority of the citizens of this State are home-loving, church-going people. I share and respect this attitude. We will not countenance or tolerate any practice w^hich tends to lower or degrade the public morals.” ' INDEPENDANCE: “In entering this campaign I do so upon my own initia tive and responsibility and not as the candidate of any group or political faction. I have made no alliance with or any commitment to any group or individual. If nominated and elected, I will be under no obligation except to serve the people of North Carolina to l^he best of my ability.” VOTE FOR JF.
