\V. 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.
This musical is made possible
through the kindness of John J. Fitz.
gerald of the Mid-Pines Club, furn
ishing an ideal music room and an ex
cellent Piano. There will he a charge
of fifty cents for each guest, and
the members of the club are pleased
to open this meeting to the cottage
colony and guess in hotels, and tick-
pts will be on sale at the door.
As a special addition to the mus
ical program, a group of young wo
men will present the Highland Fling
in costume, and other Scotch and
solo dances.
There will be a prog»-am f-f spiri
tuals at the Civic Club Simday after

in Lhe State Legi.slature, and it’s any
body’s guess. 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. Ryan McBryde of Rae-
fc.rd, former State 'Senator, has an-
ncunced for one of the seats.
The primaries will be on Saturday,
May 25th. All eligible voters in the
county must regi.ster prior to that
date, regardless of whether they have
been previouslj' registered or not,
the County Board of Elections hav
ing ordered a complete new registra
tion. Details of this registration are
contained in an advertisement in this
if.sue of The Pilot.

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.”
