O. P. RECORD ♦ , Wheeler Martin Says Democrats Would Be Loet Without Oil Scandal* To Talk About Mentioning tari? and immigration av the two most important issue* in the present presidential campaign, Mr. It a Lee, Republican clerk of the court ot Johnston County, addressed eighty citizens of the county here last night in the courthouse. The addreaa was varmly by many of the small audience. "For seven weeks, now." there has been ap/endles* flow of windjamming, of which ha* come from the 0 ler side; but if it waan't for the Tea pot Dome-and oil scandal, the Demo crat would have* nothing to talk a l>out in this campaign," Attorney Wheeler Martin *tated in introducing the speaker of the evening. Mr. Mar tin's introduction wa* short and had vwy little to do with the campaign Issues. _ i Mr. Lee, after a few remarks prais ing Martin County and it* farming, •I'tered into the question dealing with the tariff. "The Democrat* have adopted the aame policy as that of the Republican Party relative to a tariff, yet they do not exactly knuw where they stand in the matter," he stated " Mr. Lee maintained that the people had been miated a* o the tariff policy of hi* party, that hi* party;* policy wa* for the protection of th\ entire Country. "In every one of their ad ministration* the Democrat* • have adopted free trade or lowered the tar iff. and what has the action ever a mounted to?" (fr. Lee asked. He talked on the queition at length, ex plaining cheap labor condition* in for eign countries a* compared with la bor condition* here. "The Democratic party took tariff by the hand and Tam itiany Hall led At Smith down and trok the country by the throat," he stated Tariff on a few farm cora •uidities were mentioned, such as 15 Cents on corn, SO cents per bushel on potato#*, and 12 cent* per pounds for o Matter. "Therf are widely differing views on the immijrration que»tion," Mr. Lee -•tated, when he approached the sec ond ai hi* main iccues. "When the Republican Party came into power in 1921, immigrants were coming into this country unrestricted, labor condition* wer* sewte, S.OOO.UO) people were with out worV, but the party called a halt •4d things picked up from then un til now," it wat *aid. The policy of the Democrats is tor a 45 per cent in crease in the number of immigrants, according to the tpeaker, and the way it will be worked will mean an increase fit the number from the southern part ci Europe oLSOO per cent, it was fur ther pointed out. Leaving the two main issues ad vanced, Mr. Lee stated that his au dience was intelligent, that the negro question could be passed by. He claimed that he could tell things about th negro in the Democratic party, but that's disgusting, according to his opinion. He mentioned upon the authority of Simmons' statements that the Demo cratic Party was carrying on a two iared campaign, that the party w»i dry in the South and wet everywhere fke. "But Hoover is in favor of en. Idrcing the amendment" he informed his hearers. Hoover was made the man of the teuntry when Mr. Lee stated that he the l«ackbone of the Wilson ad ministration that he saved the coun try, and never failed in an undertak ing. "At Secretary of Commerce, Moover has done for American homes than any other one man. He i* a man uf ability, one who will carry on the flag and develop natural resources.

EX-SERVICE MAN COMPARES SECTS "Fights Fire With Fire" By Comparing Quakers and Catholics _ "And it is the truth" stated a local ex-service man yesterday when he read an article by L. 1,. Yand'ell, of Jack son, Miss., in which the actions of Catholics and Quaker* were pointed out during the World War. "We boy*," the local ex-service man said, "were laughed at by more than one big healthy Quaker as he walked out oi Uncle -SamV-st'i'vice on account of his belief, and the article should be' broadcasted." . Excerpts front the article follow At this time there are lots of things being said for and against the two nominees of the major political par ties. Smith and Hoover. In my sec tion of the country, the South, i few religious bigots and intolerant* are against (Governor Smith became he is a Catholic. 1 wish to state that I am a Protest ant and Master Mason, and have been since I reached legal age, and I am for Smith. Some people sav "Catholics all vote together." This is not trite France and Mexico, both over 91) per cent Catholic, have Protestants°and Masons as presidents. I enlisted in the Army April 7, 1917, the day after war was declared, and was in the Army until after the arjnis tice was signed. When we left our homes and loved ones, our people es corted us to our trains witlr brass hands, and there, with tears ill our eyes, we told our mothers, wives, and sweethearts good-by, and they; with prayers on their lips, hade us God speed to stop the murderous Huns. They told us there would he nothing too good for us when we returned? We fought for 18 months on foreign soil to make "the world safe for democracy." We left many of our buddies sleeping in Inlander's snow clad fields, never to return. Over there we had Protestants and Catholics, Gentiles and Jews, but there were no Quakers there. It makes my blood run hot when I think of being at Camp Mills, Ixing Island, N. Y., and seeing a large group of Quakers sent home, they being "conscientious objectors," and opposed to going to war for any cause whatever. If you have any doubt as to the patriotism of the Catholics of this country, you will find that over >o pet cent of the volunteer army with religious affiliation during the World War- wlfere Catholics. I am not a religious bigot or intoler ant, and Hoover being a Quaker would not keep me fropi voting for him for Secretary of State, State Auditor, or Attorney General, but the President of the United States is chief of our Army and Navy, and to h»Y« a Quaker who i« opposed to' de fending our country for any cause whatsoever would be a dangerous thing. I am of the opinion that the American flag could be insulted, knocked down and trampled under foot, and he would be opposed to war. The Quaker* have all the protection of our flag, but they have never de. fended it from the Revolutionary War to the World War. The sergeant major of my regiment was a Catholic and a Knight of Colum-' bus. He died with hii head in my lap. His last words were, "Buddy, I won't be with you to help break the Hiti dtnburg line, but you do your part and mine, too." I think it would he a slap in the face of every World War veteran to elect a Quaker, a man whose sect and religious cult it opposed to defending our country in time of war from any cause whatsoever, commartder-in-chief of the American Army and Navy. I am yours for a patriotic country. ■■ ■ ♦ Mrs. I.aura Welch, of Norwalk, Ohio, ia visiting her sister, Mrs. M. J Norton, on Main Street, for an ifi. definite time. Mr. and Mrs. S. E.

The large number of absences in many of the schools was brought lip for discussion by the county superin tendent, who referred t" the compul sory attendance laws. He stated that it was the duty of the teacher to in vestigate every individual case and act according to their knowledge and jmln ment in an effort to remedy the sit uation. His cooperation in the work was assured, but it pointed out that initial steps must lie taken where the cases develop. 18 DIVORCES IN COUNTY IN 1927 Number Divorces Is Less Than 10 Per Cent,pf Number Marriages According In a recent check of-tlie civil court, docket in the (jerk .of tile court's office here, eighteen were granted during the year l'> 27 in this county. This is probably the larg UTst number of divorces ever granted in the county-in a corresponding per iod, judge K. J. I'eel, clerk, staled. The numher rarely ever and Mr. Peel is of the opinion that the average number for the pasf several years will not be over seven or eiglft f r a twelve months' period. The list of divorces was »about , equally.divided among the two races, and in the majority of cases the par ties were from the several towns in the county. In pne or two instances, tli« (lists of the action have not been paid, and according to Mr. I'eel no divorces have been made complete where that is the case. That being •rue, it is thought that several are practicing bigamy in' the county, but still they are not aware of itm With the number of marriage* to talling around 2flf) for 1927, it is the belie( that no more than 10 per cent of them are dissolved through regular channel*. This percentage, as com pared with that of other States, is un lit rstood to lie low. *— Number Local People at Rally in Washington •—— A. large number of Williamston peo ph took part in the torch-light parade in Washington last Friday night, and heard the addres# made by Hon.
