The attempt of J. J. Parker, Republican' candidate for governor, to play upon the dif ferences which figured in the recent democratic primary to help republi can prospects in' the state election in November, is more or less ably sec onded by the political hybrid Raleigh ; orrespondent of the Greensboro .News, the blockade preacher who re- v cently created the two negro women and hung them to each arm of Max Gardner on the way to the polls to vote. . That is the opinion of members of the legislature and others here after reading he pipe dreamer's "story" of what the democratic gubernatorial ; nominee is headed for in the ensuing election, printed in Monday's issue of the Greensboro News. The alle gations and conclusions of this latest ' fabrication are fully as true as the mythical circular about the negro women and their alleged affection for Gardner, the critics of Parson W, - Thomas Bost are saying today. The Greensboro paper must have some thing anti-democratic to print .and it . has in Parson Bost a most respo'n. ,.(. sive 'representative along that line. But Boat's political knowledge and . capacity, bounded by the one word sensation," render him a most un- 6 nendable political writer.' To prpye thiv nff-hand, tie says that if Cameron Morrison, as the democratic nomi nee goeA to Edgecombe, Beaufort or . Rockingham -couMier"-Heldrnes9, Warren" and Glidewell will do some thing awful to him. He asserts that Glidewell will "walk out on the stump and denounce him" if he goes to Rockingham; that Lindsay Warren will "stick something into him" (whe- Tther a knife or a cigar he does not rparticularize) ; if he goes to Beau fort to talk democracy; and intimates that Holderness will do something equally impossible if Morrison shall .-attempt to make a democratic speech in Edgecombe during the ensuing campaign. Can you beat it for "pure bunk"? Of course the object is to recreate dissensions which were dismissed at the close of the second primary among the respective supporters of Gardner and Page. Parker told his audience at Shelby that the best way to "avenge" Gardner (defeated by the machine, he said) would be to defeat Morrison and elect Parker. Great idea, that. But the friends of the lieutenant governor probably do not regard it as a kindness for the republican candidate to come to Mr. Gardner's homeland point out to his : friehds the most certain method of killing him politically for all time td come. Besides, Max Gardner is not built that way, and I know him well 'enough to say so. He is a good po litical sport, can take his loss philos , ophically like a full grown man, and "the people of the state through the democratic party will yet honor him highly, for, he is a young man yet, - .not turned the .forties. Anybody who knows Senator Hoi derness, Senator Warren or Senator Glidewell knows ihow utterly sensa tional and untrue is the atttitude which the blockade preacher attrib rotes to them. If t am wrong about (either let him stand up. For I want tto say thai if all or either of them really harbored such design they or. any one else similarly situated in the political life of the state and it should get to Cameron Morrison's ears straight, their counties would be the Ant he would visit. -If our candidate has one virtue which his close friends admire Aim for more than another it - is his fearless disposition. Nobody can scare him. And yet he is one of the most lovable of men, willing to meet any comrade half way on equal ground and help heal any difference, especially if it is a political one and , involves the success and welfare of .the democratic party. ASSOCIATED MORRISON Mil TO DEPORT L! New York, Aug. . 24. -Increased appropriations' to enable the United States Immigration authorities to de port aliens in whom insanity is dis covered was urged here today by Dr. Spencer L. Dawes, medical examiner of the New York State Hospital Com mission. , '"" Dr. Dawes declared that although 290 insane aliens were deported dur ing the last fiscal year, there are still a great ' number in the state who might be deported if funds were available, thus cutting down an item of expense whichpjs second only to education in New York. Dr. Dawes said that there are lS9,000 insane per sons in state institutions who cost the people annually $11,500,000. Of the 290 aliens deported for in sanity last year, 147 were sent to their home countries in the usual way by the federal authorities, and 143 were "repatriated" by the state with the permission' of relatives o; guardians of the patients. Explain ing this process of "repatriation," Dr. Dawes said: - "After securing the consent of re latives to 'repatriate' we arrange for passports to his or her home country and then give the insane person clothes, toilet articles and a new suit case for the return trip. Under es cort or guard, we sendthe patients all the way and see that he or she is safely delivered to relatives or some friend on the other side." OUTLAWS LOSE - UNlilEFff Washington, Aut. 24. Railroad workers who participated in the re cent "outlaw" strikes in defiance of their unions now find themselves cut off from the benefits of the union funds that afgregate nearly one hun dred million dollars. This statement was made by W. N. Doak, vice president of the Brother hood of Railroad Trainmen. The Yardmen's Association, an outlaw or ganization headed by John Grunau, of Chicago, is now suing in a federal court to recover its interest in a fund of $10,000,000 belonging to train men. The funds, it was stated, are- of three kinds: insurance, strike benefit funds and general union assets. Mr. Doak expressed the opinion that the cutlaws would stand prac tically no chance of recovering their interest in these funds, in view of the decisions rendered by the courts in similar cases. . POET- ASSAILS ENGLAND Paris, Aug. 24. "The pseudo So ciety of Nations is purely and simply an imperialistic instrument designed by Great Britain to make her mistress of the world," is the charge made by Gabriele D'Annunzio in his latest lit erary work, a twenty-eight page bro chure, issued at Fiume and entitled "Acts and Communiques of the For eign Office of Fiume." - The work bitterly assails President Wilson for having sanctioned during the war an American naval base in the Azores, thus "destroying .the in dependence of a small nation." "Despite the imbecilic arrogance of Lord Curzon," says the Italian poet, "I glorify in being the 'irre sponsible adventurer he charges me with being." '. V ' "Italy has not ?ared to put me out of .Fiume," writes D'Annunzio, "be cause the soul of Italy is with me, and to fight me would bring on cer tain revolution."

Within another twenty years you will have given up your throne to the Prince of Wales. You will become the father-in-law of a chorus girl. I do not know which of your sons will marry her."

Stories of sudden wealth in the Kansas wheat belt are numerous this year, due to the unusual acreage of "volunteer VOLUMTE 1 wheat," a crop grown from seeds' i oi-po.uleiit insist:-, taat Trotzky v'.i whieh fall in the previous harvesting. I iu'd East Prussia recently, despite Ofiicially estimator there was 1,500, 000 acres of volunteer wheat in Kan sas this year, or about a sixth of the total harvested acreage. This wheat yielded probably 40,000,000 bushels or representing a monetary value of about 100,000,000. The total Kan sas crop of wheat is estimated offi cially at 150,000,000 bushels. The large acreage of volunteer wheat is due to the fact that a great deal of this acreage was deserted as wheat land by the owners, after last year's none too bountiful crop had been harvested. The 1919 acreage was in excess of 11,000,000, by far Hie record for any state in the un ion. A wot fall caused the kernels of .wheat which hndfallen to the ground during the harvesting to ger minate. Finding the volunteer crop making n stand, farmer did not disturb the growth and, with ideal wheat grow ing weather this spring, the volunteer wheat made yields fully as bountiful as the restAjf the crop.

Paris, Aug. 24. The French for eign office announced that the new altitude taken by Premiers Lloyd George and Giolitti, concerning Rus sia and Poland, is due entirely to the American note to Italy. A communication to France from the British and Italian premiers said that, they were in accord with the 1'nited States and France in that Po land would endanger her independ ence if she accepted the Soviet terms. Washington, Aug. 24. Supplies of all kinds, including munitions of war purchased from this government, are being openly loaded into ships at the . American ports and sent to Poland. It was admitted by government officials today that the United States is thus actually now giving aid to Poland "by all available means." It. was held by high government officials today that, under act of con gress, the United States has absolute right to sell any kind of supplies, in cluding arms, shells and high explo sives, to Poland. They maintain that as the govern" ment has not recognized the Moscow Soviets, Russia as $gove mment does not exist, to us nt all. As we do rec ognize Poland, there enn be no ques tion of new trouble which alone can forbid the shipment of arms and am munition. London, Aug. 24.

An early com munication from Warsaw to this ef fect was expected iby these, officials. Representations setting forth the views of this government have been made through the legation at War-, saw, the state department says. The Polish reply, legation officials said, would set at rest any suspicions that Poland was contemplating the prolongation of hostilities into an of fensive war against Russia. London, Aug. 24. A long commu nique issued at Lucern expresses the profound regret of Premier Lloyd George and Premier Giolitti in the conference there that the Soviet seek to impose conditions incompatible with Poland's independence in pro posing to arm a portion of the Polish civilians to the exclusion of others, which, it says, is a gross 'breach of faith, making negotiations difficult, if not impossible. It declares if the Soviet still re fuses to -withdraw this sinister pro. posal and continues war inside Polish territory, to impose its acceptance, "no free government can either ac knowledge or deal with the Soviet oligarchy." . , Cocoanuts are the common form' of ' exchange among the natives of the N'icobars.
