BUTLER WILL RUN
FORU. S. SENATE
H« Might Bo MmI For Sim>
mom, But the Saaalor Haa
Not Boon Nominated
Ralaigh, June 20—Narion Butler’s
fiaifooted declaration of senatorial
candidacy in 1024 coupled with the
Simmons boast that the Sampsonite
aril! be meat to him concerned the
state administration today a whole lot
more than the teat of the Danioli'
speech which officialdom had for Sun-1
day reading.
It isn't no much the fact that Mr I
Bullet la willing to go bat against I
the Democratic nominee of 1024 an
it ia the Simmons nre-< mntinn of the
nomination. Mr. Rutier, if ha suc
ceeds in getting satisfaction with thC|
Harding appointments In North Caro
lina, can easily enough be nominated 1
in his own parly, hut whether Mr.
Simmon* ran be nominated with Jo
sephus Daniel* after hie tag is slightly
different.
Just the samr, Mr. Simmons say*
hr will make meat out of Mr. Butlar
and if he it nominated he probably
will. In the meantime, Ihrrr are a
lot of good Democrats in the state
administration thinking that Mr. Sim
mons has done a thing he usually
doesn't do—made a political faux pas
and given Mr. Daniel* the very thing
the “idol smashers" want for cam
paign thunder.
Bailor Aauouncement Expected
The Butler announcement nas been
expected by the politicians in Raleigh
for a long time and no one expected
Mr. Simmons to do anything but run
If he t* living when the time for run
ning roll* around.* What most folks
ingr confidence since the joint debnte
at Chapel Hill laal week, la that Mr.
Simmon* and Mr. Daniels will engage
in a “friendly" Democratic contest
for the nomination before the strug
gle for election open*. It hadn’t quite
been settled down here that Mr. Sim
mons would be the nominee.
Mr. Daniels is running for some
thing. hi* own paper’s new* story
right after March 1 notwithstanding.
The very fact thnl “the senator” is
three year* early in usurping the
party nomination I* the very thing
Mr. Daniel* want* upon which to
hang his campaign plus, of course, a
fling or two at the corporations,
which he and Judge Walter Clark
havt never been fond of since Will
Kitrhin and “the senator’’ had such'
a time keeping the editor and the
chief justira from fusing with the
populists
It U well remembered her* that
Mr. Daniel*, coming back to the state
after an absence of eight years, got
a list of the Max Gardner managers
in 100 counties and wrote them a
sort rrt home-coming, fair-week letter.
Than he had his pole up for lightning
to strike, and senatorial lightning at
that. lie kept th's in mind, his friends
believe, about a month when he de
cided that he belter let Simmons *
lone and go after “the machine’’ on ]
state issues.
Won’t Ran Against McLess .
He told lot* of folks, particularly
eastern Carolina folks, that he would;
run if he had an issue, bat he never!
said what kind of an issue or what he
would run for. llight after his Wake
Forest spetvh it was clear that hr was
going to make an issue out of the ma
chine, and he urged the Raptiit giad-i
ualea to help him do it. Also, corpora- i
tions make fine, issuea, and he smiled
into the public service bodies with
equal fuiy, linking the two together!
a* a bigger bugaboo in the state’s
path than the conventionisis, regular*
conformists and idoiatora.
The. former secrctaiy and Wilton'
Mrl-van arc close peraonal friends. It
ia doubtful if m all the ‘organization’
Mr. Daniels has a stronger friend
than Mr McLean, unJ yet In a race
between Simmons and Daniels Mr.,
McLean, quite naturally, will follow
“(he senator.” It is beginning to fol-j
low, then .that Simmons Is going to
do a lit:)* running with the editor be-'
fore he engages in hi* meat chopping,
alTiay with Senator Butler.
Senator Butler will statt in the!
ftght wilh the edge on the admin istra
tion Democrats, some of whom wil!
not support Simmons against Daniels.
For Instance, after the Democrat*
C*ck Ihoir man and get ready for the'
lennlal slaughter of Maryana and,
the nigger Col. Sam Hobbs, a sort'
of an insurgent Democrat, will rise
up with paper writing teatifying to
Butler’s fine ability, good character
anil noble southern qualities and high
on the Hat of endorser! the state will
read Graham, Istcy, Grime*. Kitehin,
Clark and Hoke. That will b« Butler's
anawer and it will be a sockdolager—

SOME MISTAKE IN

CannitiioMr Clark Write*
CoBcrtMoun Lyon That
Chare** Are Reasonable
By Edward Britton in News and Ob
server
Washington, June 18.—Chairman
Clark of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, write* to Congressman
Homer Lyon that there ia evidently
lomt mistake in tho complaint of the ]
Chamber of Commerce of Dunn a
bout the excessive rate of freight on I
watermelons by the escioad from1
Dunn to Richmond, the allegation be
ing that the rate is approximately
*160 a carload and that this is prohi
bitive. In regard to this Chairman
Clark writes that he has caused an
examination to be made "of the tar
iffs an file with thle commission, and
h appears that from Dunn to Rich
mond. V*., carload rate now in ef
fect, minimum weight 2,400 pounds;
per ear for watermelons under venti-l
lation, ia 24 cents per 100 pound* |
under refrigeration 29 1-2 cents per1
tflO pounds.
"It 1* my understanding that the
wiiter melons ordinarily move under
ventilation and not under refrigera
tion," he continued. “The charge for
a minimum carload of melons at 24
rents per 100 pounds would be *67.00
instead of *160 a* stated by your
complaint. I am Informed that an av
erage carload of watermelons con
tain* from 1,000 to 1,200 melons
wh.ch mean* that the transportation
charge* appear to average from 3 to
6 S-4 cent* per melon.”
However, Chairman Clark writes,
no mention has been made of th*.
points of origin of the shipment* oth
er than Dunn and it may be that there '
are other point* of origin in which
the chamber of commerce of Dunn ia'
interested, that If he is given the

The close-spacing, mn-e commonly

<pacing the cotton plants so clove in
the row—a hoe width opart—that the
'<rw«r or vegetative branches do not
develop, and the growth of the plnnt
rocs directly into the upper or fruit
ing branches permitting them te begin
the development of blossoms and
bolls earlier sod giving them more
nourishment and more light.
The cultural ideal under the new
system is a cotton plant with only
the single erect, eanlrul stalk bearing
numerous well-developed fruiting
sranchs, but none of tbe vegetative
blanches or secondary stalks. The
suppression of the vegetative bran
ches is easily aerumpliahed by leav
ing the young plants close together
