The State Democratic Executive "Com mtttee gave; a big dinner at the Yar i borough Hotel "here tonight in Tumor f the' county chairmen and vice chairmen' of the Democratic executive committees of " the various counties of the State in recognition of - the lne service rendered during the- re cent campaign, which resulted in the orand est vietarv thA-'fuirHr hfta'aehiev e eirtce the 'memorable v fight 1. for V supremacy ;in 1898 and again two years later when Aycock swept the i old Commonwealth from the .moun tains to the sea. , v In addition to those mentioned the dinner was attended by the s party's - advisory committee, State ? officers, former chairmen of the State execu tive committee, former 7 Lieutnant -' Govrnors, former Speakers of the - House: and other prominent in party councils. - ' .' p ..--. ' ' - Results of rde, recent election and the outlining of plans for the future were among - the - features discussed ' by those who were ? called upon by chairman Norwood to Vtell how it hap pened." No great amount of boast ing was indulged in but everyone . present was visibly happy. The bid -victory was not considered altogether democratic .Reports from many sec- : tions gave independent: republicans measurabl ecredit for kicking over the traces and supporting democratic w candidates in the hope of obtaining more efficient local governme&t. it was quite a representative as- - eemblage of . Democratic men and wo men who responded to the invitation df. Chairman Norwood to present themselves around the festive board '. and the Idea made a great hit. But the announcd purpose of the meet ing was reversed and Mr. Norwood earne Hti for 'fthe 'lioii "share of the glory attaching to,, the splendid tnv mination of the late campaign. And he ' deserved everything complimen tary that was said about him. .; if Unofficial election figures indicate the majority of 85,000 for the head of the Democratic state ticket this year, the largest any candidate for office ever received in the State. At the election of . 1920, th Republican candidate for ' governor polled a greater vote, more than 5,000, than did the head of the Democratic tick et in November, 1922. Two years ago the Democratic nominee for go vernor received' 308,151 votes, while his opponent received 231,175.

InterestJut .- Action of the delegation in voting to have work begun at once- on the Brevard road caused no Utile com ment here yesterday afternoon. For months, the. much talked of highway, which would open up miles and miles of the wonderful scenic county of upper Greenville county and Western North Carolina, has provoked much interest not only here but throughput this part of the state. Satisfaction was generally expressed with the pros pect of the great road being con structed within a few months. The decisive action of the county delegation came after months of con sideration and the appearance at the meeting yesterday, of several promi nent citizens, urging that construc tion of the road be authorized. Ben E. Geer; C. O; Allen, F. F. Beattie and W. ,G. Sirrine "gathered with the delegation yesterday and- spoke v in behalf of. the. proposed, highway. Mr. Geer, who has been a., consis ent booster for the road since 'the inception of the plan, said that the importance of thexoad could hardly be . overestimated. ; ,t Qpening up . of an alniost virgin region, from which new business will flow into Greenville Was one of the advantages mention ed bound to result from the project. Mr. Geer also mentioned the fact that Furman University owns property at Caesar's Head and had .pledged the sumof -$20,000 toward r construction of the new- highway.. .7 . . All members of the county delega iion were present at the meeting, held at 1 1 o'clock in the grand jury room, and to a man voted for au thorizing construction of x the road. Representative Raven I.

JORDAN TUBERCULOSIS CHRISTMAS - SEALS ON SALE; NOW , The Annual Tuberlocis Christmas Seal sale will begin today in every town and hamlet in North Carolina. The little seals will find their way into the most remote corners of the state, Everyone i8 asked "to "purchase and use these seals to priyide funds for the tuberculocis causes -u - I Just what does one buy when one . makes an annual purchase of Christ mas ' seals f - Surely the purchase, in cludes more than papef and printing, more ,even than, the charm of colors and, design, the. seal may possess vj; Prhaps .j you thuig first of : relief work, and picture milk and " other necessary" food for consumptives. Perhaps your minds turns to. the doctor's bills. There is also the sana torium' where 'the: flushed- cheeks, df the tuberculocous grow rosy as health is restored by proper treatment.' ' Pos sibly you have been reading, of the need for popular ducation in health and the seals you buy . represent to you ' tuberculocis clinics and health lectures. As a natter? of fact, in most communities some part of your seal ' money is expended in each - of these, ways.

You have made" i yourself a sharer in the human faith,--love" and couragge that have secured for the tuberculocis movement whatever suc cess ' it has known. - Very properly; sentiment has ltttle place in tuberculisis work or in any other social health work. 'And yet the purchaser of seals has the right to see the human value in his pur chase.' ' ' ... The seal is more than a gay stick er, bought of , a pretty girl.

'-They . have sharpened their tongues like a ser pnts f adder's, poison is ' under their lips."

' " '' ''" I. THE PURPOSE OF THE COM MANDMENT.'' This is to protect the reputation, that good character may not be blackened in the estimation of the public. Further, it is to preserve from the damaging effects of. wrong, or false, testimony in courts. Again, its purpose is to ground human re lations in truth. ! "J'--J'r' SOME WAYS IN WHICH ' THE fCOMMANDMENT IS . VIOLATED, frV .i VIOLATED. .i'AAMniAnJmAfii . nAinA .Jn ' Mnd 1 juriri those testifiid kgainst; T-i (2 Thei secondary application" cif this is in private speech. Not many of us now are in danger of giving false testimony . in 'court,' but in pri- vate we are in danger of doing the very thing against which the spirit of the commandment' is directed. Slander is the most frequent viola tion. While all s have- a right .to a just judgement from a jury or a judg, all have fully as much right to just and unbiased judgements from the court of public opinion ; and private testimony should be e qually as free from injurious state ments as that given in a court. - Slan der is the lie invented and distril buted witK malicious intent. Or it may be the truth distributed in such a way as to injure. .The highway man is a gentleman compared to the slanderer. On election day I prepar ed my ballot as I thought .in private. Imagine 'my surprise twhen I heard a few days ago that a woman said she looked over my shoulders,, saw that I had scratched the names of two of the members of my church who were running for the same office, only , she told it so that both candi dates, seemed to think" that I voted for the other one. I, As long as two gentlemen from my church, were run ning for the same office I did what I conceived to be an act "Of courtesy toward both by not voting for either. But this woman - told it so as - to create a false impression. I do not know 'who the woman is, , nor do . I want to know, but she stole the - in formation and peddled it about inan injurious way. - If I were low enough down to look over another's shoulder and see what he was writing I would be very particular not to let anyone'-l know that I was such a sneak-thief. 4 Tattling, tale-bearing, gossiping, telling things that are calculated -to injure another, on a better authority than hearsay, violates this command ment.' -: 1 J - f ' False recommendation also violates it; -Merchants are guilty of this in commending a clerk who they know is not commpeteht to - another ;,firm.
