OPINIONS •OF OTHERS Leaving It Headless. (From Charlotte News.) Our friend, Jake Newell, was elect ed alternate at the Ninth District Re publican Convention last week to the National convention on a delegation instructed,for Calvin Coolidge at the Cleveland Springs meeting. Mr. Newell, it is remembered, is manager for Hiram Johnson's cam paign in North Carolina, which pre sents a rather incongruous state of affairs, indeed. We are only wondering if tin Old Guard in the State determined liter ally to kidnap Mr. Newell from the thinning ranks of the Progressive leader and to leave the campaign of the Westerner in North Carolina en tirely decapitated. McLean Gets Boost, (From Statesville Daily.) The few reports from the Demo cratic precinct meeting in the State Saturday indicate that the friends of Mr. Bailey hardly got a look-in wher ever the issue was drawn between the gubernatorial aspirants. In Mr. Bai leys home county of Wake the friends of Mr, McLean seem to have scored a big victory, Mr. Bade; failing o" election as a delegate in his own jrc cinct. Saturday’s meetings did not pass on the gubernatorial contest proper. That is to be determined by the ballots of the Democratic electors in the June primary election. But the “organization” folks, the backers o' Mr. McLean, are always up and dressed when precinct committer r arc «to be elected, as that is the begin ning of the control of the party ma chinery, and with the organization, commonly called the “machine,” co t trol of the party machinery is vital. The control by Mcl^ean’s friend - of the machinery of the party, with a big majority of the deljga.^ to t.. Democratic State convention su - porting the Rotuson man, will giv< him a big boost for the June contest But it must be recalled that Max Gardner’s friends controlled the De mocratic State convention in 1920 am' many of Cameeon Morrison's frnendr considered him defeated; but it \vu the other way in the final show-down. McLean’s friends will not see a if versal of the conditions this year, a admittedly in their favor.» Mr. Bailey says he is counting on the voters to overturn the machine and the machine manipulators. The voters could easily do that if they were amind, but judging the future by the past they will ratify the pro gramme. Mr. Bailey bore a leading part in the operation of the iparhin ory for several years, and he ough to know how it is. Live-At-Home. (From Raleigh News & Observer.) Live-at-home meetings are being widely held in North Carolina: They hold the remedy for what ails us. One way and the best way to prevent the- middleman from getting more than his share is r.ot to give him a chance to handle what on consumes. The man who raises what he and his family cat saves several profits. Misleading Talk on Taxes. Chapel Hill Weekly. Josiah W. Bailey is talking a lot of nonsense about taxation. Being an intelligent man he knows that the state and the counties and the towns have go to keep spending money for education and roads and other good purposes', yet he seems to want to convey the impression that his elec tion would cut down taxes. There is! small chance that it would have any such consequence. “The average tax rate in North Carolina in 1012 was $1.34 on the hun dred; today it is about $1.50,” Mr. Baiicy is quoted as saying in a speech the other day. Well, what of it? This fact in itself is without any special significance. The important question is, are the things people are paying for worth paying for? Kvery b'-dy knows that the citizens of North Carolina are now enjoying far more of the blessings of civilization, and in general are on a higher level of edu cation and health and prosperity than they were 15 or 25 years ago. And this is so largely because of this very increase in the‘tax *ate~abpwt which Mr. Bailey professes to be alarmed. The increase has. come about through the action of the people themselves in voting to spend money to make their communities better communi ties and North Carolina a batter state. To keep talking about the tax increase a? if it had been an evil thing is misleading, and we do not be lieve that Mr. Bailey will get any wnere r>y -ti's kind of campaigning. It may he true that in his spaechr.: the complete text of which we have not seen, ho expresses approval of the state’s progressive policy, which means, inevitably, a money-spending policy. But he appears to be putting his main emphasis upon the tax rate. He must he fully conscious of the fact, that, should he become governor, he could not affect any reduction in the average tax rate in North Caro lina. That is, he could not do it unless | he deliberately set out to influence lo cal action throughout North Carolina by employing his cleverness and elo quence and high position to preach an anti-school, anti-roads, anti-health, and generally an anti-progress doc trine. And of course Mr. Bailey would i not do that. He dors not want to see j his state turn backward. He should 1 not becloud the issue by leading pso pic to suppose that he, if elected, would somehow be able to cut their local tax bills. • Report of the Condition of THE UNION TRUST CO., OF SHELBY, At Shelby 'n the State of North Car olina, at the close of business, 31st March, 1924.

Freshman Gets Tip Of Twenty Dollars Wealthy Pennsylvanian Hands, Wake Forest Student Writer a “Little Remembrance.” Wake Forest, April 12.- The days of Aladdin lamp happenings are not done yet. It' you don’t believe this ask John Thomas Warren Davis, jr.( of Mount Airy—a member of tire fresh man class at Wake Forest college and singer, violinist, and reader with Dr. Potcat’s glee club and orchestra. A Pennsylvania tourist tipped Davis to the snug sum of §20 at the Wake Forest hotel the other day. And mir abile dicta, it was the very day that; the Klee club was *o leave for Rich Square and Chowan college and Davis was sadly in need of pin money with which to play the lord to sonic of Dr. Weaver’s fair co-eds at Chowan, Davis, like many other freshman at Wake Forest, is paying » good part of his college expense by wait ing on table. The rich tourist from Pennsylvania was taken by the smil ing faced, courteous, efficient youth who serve ! his dinner. The two grew chummy befofce the half-hour was | over. The tourist had confided in Da vis that once upon a tir.r- he waited on table to pay college expenses. ‘ Here’s a little remembrance,” said the Pennsylvanian, thin-ting a wad ded, clothy feeling bill into Davis’ hand. One look and the astonished, fresh man raw 320 printed on the bill. Un able to believe his eyes, h< pnrrea; ed the bill and folded and unfolded it this, way and that in an attempt to solve the mystery. There was no mys *ery about it.

Two Build Modern Poultry Houses i ( Extension Service.] Dr. K. II. Lackey of Iho Faltston section and S. A.
