Rogers, of Canton, form er pastor of the Lovedale Baptist church will preach Sunday even ing, March 14, at 7:30 o'clock at the Lovedale church. Let all the members come to hear Brother Rogers at this time. Tompkins Cites Some of The - Responsibilities of The Office ! Of Lientenant Governor Dan Tompkins, in launching his active campaign for Lieutenant Governor, stated today that he is ?not attempting to write the party platform, and while he realizes that it is the business of the Governor to chart the course of the next Ad ministration, there are certain things that come within the spe cial province of the Lieutenant Governor that enable him to great ly influence the State either to ward conservations or toward making the government more res ponsive to the popular will. Mr. Tompkins pointed out the power that tr.e Lieutenant-Gov ernor has in appointing the com mittees in the Senate, and as Chairman of the state Board of I Education, making him a key man I in tiie progress o: education in the I State, and in that the voice of the people is not stifled in the General Assembly. "If we are to successfully com bat the radical elements abroad in the world, and prevent their sc-.-d from >p:ouung in North ^Car olina", Mr. Tompkins said, "We must not be parsimonious toward education. We must obey the manda^ of our Constitution and provide a uniform system of edu cation lor all the children. A big step in that direction would be to make provisions for more ade quate buildings and . equipment, and to lessen the teacher-load in the lower grades, where the rooms are crowded and the teachers are unable to give the individual atr tention that is necessary in the training of small children. In many parts of North Carolina the buildings are inadequate,, anti quated and dilapidated. In many instances tifey are dangerous and unsafe and unfit for occupancy. In such conditions the talk of equal educational opportunities is a farce. Association B.T.U. to Meet At Webster The Association Baptist Train ing Union mn?- meeting will be held at the caster Baptist church on Monday evening, Marcv. 22. at 7 p. m. An interesting pro gram has been arranged and it urged that all churches having training unions send representa tives to Webster as this is to be a very important meeting. Carl Cor bin, associational superintenden'., will preside. North Carolina must move for ward." "The best antidote for radica lism is more liberal application of the benefits of Democracy." "The right of free expression of I the will of the people upon any | public question should never be de j nied, abridged, or stifled in a de | mocracv. For that reason, there I should be no committees stack I ed for the purpose of furthering I or retarding the course of any pro ! posed legislation, for the benefit | of any special group or school of thought, and there should be no "gag rules" to tmvarl tne free and , open consideration of legislation j upon iis merits, and in response to | the will of the people. And, I j pledge myseli to follow that course in appointing the Senate commit tees," Mr. Tompkins suid. "North Carolina must move for ward as vn unit in education, in civic righteousness, and in applied democracy. No special considera tion must be given to any special groups. The voice of the farmer, of labor, ol those who hunger and i thirst alter righteousness in gov j eminent must be heard. We must make democracy function even i better than in the past, and spread ' its spiritual and material bene j fits to all of the people ol North ! Carolina in more abundant mea 1 sure." i | Mr. Tompkins is a newspaper i man, a student of government, olso | he studied law, government, and English at Wake Forest college. He is a native of Jackson county, and was educated in the pubic schools, I ol that county and at Waynesville j High Shool. He is 57 years of age, a veteran of the First World War, having served as an enlisted man with the 30th Division in France arid Belgium. He lias served four , terms in the General Assembly, | and was Reading Clerk of the i House at one regular a.id two spe | cial session, and is thus through ly familiar with the State Govern ; mcnt and the workings of the Gen I erui Assembly.
