'Ccgisiration Comes First, Then Voting
Saturday is the last day of registration. Any person who cx
"Ptpeetn to vcte for Harry Truman, Tom Dewey, Strom Thurmond,
or Henry Wallace for president, as a matter of fact, anybody who
f;epects to vote for anybody first has to register.
Requirements for registration are that the person be 21 years
""ol age, a resident of this state for one year, and a resident of
; " four months in the county and precinct in which he lives.
All those who voted in the May primaries this year are reg
igered and need not register again. Once a voter Is listed in the
j registrar's book in his precinct, he is eligible to vote in that conn-
iy, in a county, state, or national election until death. Being reg
' isterod to vole in a town election does not constitute registration
,tor the coming Nov. 2 election.
Tomorrow is the last day registrars will be at the polling
: places in the various precincts. Names of prospective voters,
; can, however, be taken any time up through Friday, Oct. 2t).
Mcrehead City Jaycees are undertaking a commendable pro
. ject in their effort to see that everyone in Morehead township is
, 'registered.
Post No. 40 of the American Legion has also taken action re
; ending the coming election in urging all of us to vole.
Their comment follows:
"Since the days cf the Constitutional Convention, Valley
'r'TForge, Hunker Hill, Kings Mountain and Yorktown, Americans
have fmight and bled and died for a democratic way of life. One
of the blessings of a Democracy is he right vested in the people
to elect the representatives of their choosing. It is a right of
free men it is a right not to be ignored, or to be complacent
about. A right treated so lightly may be taken away. Anieri
.puns tie becoming increasingly lax in appreciation of their de
mocracy, where freedom is of reality, not just a coined word or
an expression. Americans must be eternally vigilant to keep the
lihl of democracy burning. Freedom has been snuffed out in
other parts of the world it must not happen here.
"Pos 46 of the American Legion puts itself squarely on rec-
' ord on the proposition that the tenets of Americanism can be best
smed by every eligible voter registering, and voting on F.LF.C
JJON DAY. Vote for the Candidate of your choice V 0 T E."

Salute to the Airline
As Piedmont Airline's season for operation into the Carteret
coastal area nears its end, we find ourselves looking forward im
jtoediately to May when, we hope, Piedmont will find it desirable
t4 resume its flights here during the summer months.
it The airline, like a contracting rubber band, draws us into the
clofely knit circle of the nation's business and communication sys-
No longer did businessmen and weekend vacationists shake
heads and dismiss the Carteret coast "as' "hopeless," as th'ff
"end of nowhere," and "too Inacces coijitder for, any purt-
. For the first tim?, sending letters by airmail actually meant
letting them to their destination taster. Before there was direct
service from her, it was our experience to have air mail travel
! at the same rate of speed as regular service.
; Air service was a boon to commercial flower growers in this
'jiCftlon, as well as other business places which had rush orders to
fill or needed shipments in a hurry.
; Our compliments to Piedmont on a job well done. Their
personnel at the local office have always been more than obliging
and courteous and from every viewpoint their operation has been
most satisfactory.
wughtsfor an open mind...
it no man turn aside, ever so slightly, from the broad path of
honor, on the plausible pretense that he is justified by the
goodness of his end. All good ends can be worked out by
good means.
The talkative listen to no one, for they are ever speaking. He
who knows not to be silent hears nothing. Hence the old
proverb silence Is goldan.
Happiness comes from striving, doing, loving, achieving, con
quering, always something positive.
Our business in life is not to get ahead of others but to get ahead
of ourselves. To break our own record, to outstrip our yes
terday by our today, to do our1 work with more force and
finer finish than ever; this is the true idea, to get ahead of
ourselves.
The aim of education is to produce MEN.

SLEPT IIERR And no doubt
many years from now o of those
large nluminumcolored, three-by-three
tablets will be placed at
some noint on FHyettevillc Street
near the Sir Walter Hotel: "On
October 18, 1948, Harry Trumnn,
President of the United States,
slept here."
slrong support which the Demo
crats THOUGHT the Progressives
and Dixie-crats and Republicans
had has done more to solidify and
strengthen the Democrats than
anything that has occurred in a
lout; time.
more. The party has done a lot
for him, but he has also done many
a good turn for the party. If he
now wants to call it even-Stephens,
no criticism from this corner, but
he is getting plenty of it from elsewhere.
battle, and Is not expected even
to be in the State on Election Day.
Those who know Miss Cobb main
tain that she will vote, in absentia,
the straight Democratic ticket. .
TiIe BIGGEST HAND Ask
anybody who has attended all the
rallies and he will tell you that
Sen. W. B. Umstead, day in and
day out, lias been the most popular
figure participating in them. J. M.
Broughton, who beat him, has had
a better press: but Umstead has
received a better hand.
Umstead isn't dead politically
by .any means. In Raleigh, they
are saying he is the most popular
defeated candidate since O. ' Max
Gardner in 1920. Another thing:
Since his May 29 downfall. Mr.
Umstead has' written around 15,
000 letters thanking those who
helped him for their support. That
certainly doesn't sound like a
whipped man.
Sen. Umstead is a very able
man. It is to be regretted that it
is impossible for North Carolina
to have the services of both Mr.
Umstead and J. M. Broughton. At
the time of the late J. W. Bailey's
death. Senator Umstead was de
finitely planning to be a candidate
for Governor this year. In which
event, Kerr Scott would not have
run. It is also doubtful that Char
les M. Johnson would have.
.For several days following the
death of Bailey a group of men
urged and pleaded with Umstead
to accept Gov. R. Gregg Cherry's
appointment to fill out the term
of the deceased Bailey. ' But he
wanted to be Governor. These call
ers wanted Umstead to be Gov
ernor, too, but more than that they
wanted to keen J. M. Broughton
out of the U. S. Senate and felt
that Umstead was the only man
in the State who could do it. Final
ly, the anti-Broughtonites got their
way. As it turned out, not even
Umstead could down the popular
speaker, Sunday School teacher,
and general getter-abouter, J. M.
Broughton.
CAD HEAD . Nobody around
Raleigh knows where the rumor
that D."S. Coltrane, State Agricul
ture Commissioner, would become
the next head of the Department
of Conservation and Development
got started. He may be; or he may
not.be. George L. H. White, Ra-.
leigh ice cream manufacturer and
a Scott man all the way, is being '
considered for the post.
Coltrane is an exceptionally able
man. Only Kerr Scott and Col
trane know 4he tremendous
amount of work which the Assis
tnnt Commissioner of Agriculture
kept off the shoulders of the Agri
culture Commissioner from Jan
uary, 1937, until last winter when
Scott resigned. He could handle
the Department of Conservation
and Development, but he said Sun
day that he knows absolutely no
thing about his being given -tpe
opportunity to direct it and is not
at all certain he would accept tne
olace even if offered it.
WHAT HAPPENED? Two
months ago one of the hottest
things going in North Carolina was
the Dixie-crats. Now they seem
to be hardly creating a rippled.
There may be a few good Demo
crats who will vote the way of
the States Righters, but mum
seems to be the word right now,
and reports from the rallies which
the No. 1 party leaders have been
holding throughout the State are
to the effect that the followers of
Wright and Thurmond aren't crea
ting even a ripple. If there is
strength out there for this camp,
it is certainly very, very silent.
One thing is true, however: The
ABSENT Sate Treasurer Char
les M. Johnson has not participa-'
ted in anv of these Democratic fal-
lies you have heard so much about
in the past few weeks, Sour
grapes? Well, many are saying so
which is only to be expected.
Others who are perhaps closer to
the defeated gubernatorial candi
date say that he is very busy this
fall getting everything in shape in
the Treasurer's office and just
does not have time to be gadding
about. They say further that
Johnson knows he is through po
litically and therefore is not in
terested in making the arduous
rounds.
Johnson has been in the fore
front of the party for 20 years or
AROUND-THE-WORLD Miss
Beatrice Cobb of Morganton,
North Carolina's National Commit
teewoman, has also been conspi
cuous by her absence from the
meetings. There was some ques- j
tion in faet, quite a bit of ques- j
tion as to whether she would be
renamed to her high position in j
the ranks of the Democrats. Mrs.
0. Max Gardner was proposed for
the place in Philadelphia just prior
to the National Convention.
When Mrs. Gardner demurred,
there being nobody else interested
Miss Cobb was reappointed., Al
though faced at that time by what
appeared to be one of their hard
est fights without their National
Committeewoman, the Democrats
had to bump along. Miss Beatrice
took off for a round-the-world
flight, has had no part in the
