Tourists Through the Real

"Eastern Carolina is not getting
her share of tourist travel." is the
way an official of tfefe'Easieirh Caro
lina Chamber of Commerce pot it to
day white discussing this matter. Ajj
investigation was made aS^to the
number of tourists that travel the
Sanford - Southern PinesteOute. smith
and the Raleigh - Smith field, Fayette
vilte route. .It developed from this
survey that fully 99 per emit of the
tourists who go south in the winter,
never see Eastern Carolina at all, be
cause they have been accustomed to
follow the Sanford ? Southern Pines
"""k* %L>
There is a reason for this, in the
opinion of the Eastern Carotin*
Chamber of Commerce officials. The
facte in the case shawed that a very
intensive campaign has been going on
fog many years, with a view of-di
recting the attention of the tourists
t? the other route and no effort has
been made to gat them to uae-th^

Gov. Morrison Has Unanimous
ly Approved of Council of
State In His Proposal
For Emergency
Legislature."
Backed by the unanimous consent
of the Council of State, Governor
Cameron Morrison announced recently
that-he will summon the General As
sembly into extraordinary session be
ginning August 7th, to consider prep
arations for submission to the people
in the November election, machinery
by which the State may encourage or
engage in water transportation as a;
blow for freight rate justice for North
Carolina.
Those who had anticipated stubborn
resistance on the part of any member
of the Council of State to the Gover
nor's proposal recently amended so
that the action of the General Assem
bly in the creation of a port commis
sion and the clothing of Jt with func
tioning power must be submitted to
the electorate before it is effective,
were disappointed. The members of
the Council voted solidly with the
Governor.
The text of the call, the Governor
stated, he will frame within a few
'days. While the water transporta
tion matter is of supreme interest to
the Governor, the question as to
whether or not this would constitute
an adequate emergency under the law
for a special session has been met

Predicts Victory
For Democrats
McAdoo Outlines What Party
Should Fight For In a For
mal Statement
? ?
New York, June 18.?William G.
McAdoo, in a formal statement issued
tonight, forecast victory for, the dem
ocratic party through the progressive
forces within the party. * He said that
throughout the country there was a
demand that the democrats should
commit themselves unequivocably to
constructive reforms.
"There are certain things," Mr.
McAdoo said in part, "that the dem
ocratic party must fight for uncom
prfsingly: International co-operation
?for the purpose of abolishing war
and thus maintaining peace; cutting
down or eliminating of excessive mil
itary and naval armaments, and the;
restoration of world-wide economic
improvement; broadening the base of
prosperity among our own people, so
that as far as possible, parity shall
be restored between the .cost to* the
farmer of the things he consumes and
the price he obtains for the tilings
he sells.
"Asr essential steps in this direc
tion,'the tariff must be reconstructed
; downwards and the railroads must be
'reformed so as to provide adequate
and efficient service' at lower rates, j
Foreign trade must be re-established
and widened; the natural resources
of the nation-must be protected, par- j
ticularly water power, which must be
developed in the interest of the peo
ple and not exploited for private ad
?vantage. Child labor should be pro
tected and equality of rights, dvil,
economic and social, should be. ac
corded to women. -

who seek merelyto obstruct the will
of the. rank and file of the party .'or
to satisfy personal ambitions orio
create schisms I am confident that
they will find neither sympathy nor

When Mr. McAdoo was interrogat
ed again as to his attitude toward the
two-thirds rulej he said:
"It is immaterial to me?it. is a
matter for the convention to decide.

of the convention.
