Pays To Use Lime On All Clover Crops Farm Demonstrator Morrison of Lin coln Cafls Attention To Field Near Keeps vIH*. «0n Thursday I saw Ane of the mo l striking examples of how rime ,,ayS witli re«l clover that I have ever seen," says County Agent J. G. Morri J.un ’()f Lincon County. "This demon targtion is on the farm of Mike Kiser mar Reepsville. Last year Mr. Kiser had an eight-acre field sowed to wheat. On six of these acres he broad easted two tons to the acre of ground limestone, leaving two acres without lime. He then planted red clover on the land putting all of his clover in on the same day under the same con ditions w ith the exception that part of the land was limed and two acres were not. “At the time of my visit, the clover on the limed land was over two feet high and just ar, thick as it could .stand on the ground. Where he did not lirne, the clover was only about ten inches high, thin on the ground and of a yellowish, unhealthy color.” According to Mr. Morrison, this demonstration by Mr. Kiser is prov ing of value in showing that cloveis and other legumes do best where the land has been properly limed. Mr. Kiser’s experience is being duplicated by many other farmers over the state according to reports from other county agents. The reports show that Tarheel farmers are finding that the best way to have more fertile soils and to gradually build up their lands is by using the tandem team of lime and legumes. A number of demonstrations show that lime is necessary for the best growth of most legumes and the legumes, in turn, when plowed under and incorporated into the soil help to make the crops following return great li average yields. And as to foreign entanglements, Columbus brought them over.—Co mulbia Record. EXECUTOR’S NOTICE. Having qualified on the 30th day of April 1024, as erecutor of the estate of M. M.

EVANS E. McBRAYER Says Too Many Voters do Not Ex press I heir Choice but Vote as Others Dictate. To Editor of The Star. tuurtecn year* ago I was nomin ated in the Democratic primary for treasurer of Cleveland county. The el ection w is exciting and interesting to me. Bemg interesting to me more from what I did not knnv? than from I did know about the* way elections were conducted. I served my county >2 years as treasurer and retired at the end of my sixth term. During the time I served I had some competition and very strong competition the year I was first nominated. I never spent, all told, as much as $50 to be nomin ated either time I made the race. My fi iends run me for the senate two year- ago and as I was working for the county I stayed at my post of duty, and with a strong opponent and other kinds of opposition I was de feated. But that is not whr.t I started to wnte about. The thing I want to get you to thing about is the injustice of the primaries the way they’re conduct ed. I know too, full well, as soon as some wiseacres read the preceding sentence they will have some names to apply to the writer but that is en tirely immaterial to me and should have nothing to do with the subject being treated. I believe in the principal of demo cracy as laid down by Thomas Jeffer son, the greatest democrat of them all; a government of, by and for the people. That is the very thing the pri maries, as conducted in the name of a Democratic primary, is defeating and is not giving. This is no new thought With me or with many others, l or the past twelve years every time I have witnessed the farce enacted in v io name of a Democratic primary, ■pposition to the methods used arid the style in which they are pulled off has embedded itself deeper and deep (1 *n until I can no longer refrain from openly condemning the unseem ly, unjust, ugly, deceitful, hypocriti cal performance with all the force I am able to command. Now let us see if I have anything to back up and justify the opposition I have taken. If 1 have or have not let those who read this be the judge. And I ask that you judge the subject in the light of [ \ !?acts and not from the warped and belittled view it will be given by those who are largely responsible for the '<ay t^le primary is conducted. A Democratic primary is supposed to give each qualified voter the right to express their will as to who is their choice amdS-g-ftr*to the various offices. What percent of the people who vote in the primaries, as they are conducted, do you suppose express their own choice by the bal lot they put 'in the box? IIow many times did certain other parties express teeir choice, by the method* they use m getting votes in the box? If you will be honest with yourself and ans wer these two questions I believe you v.ill agree with me that the primary as it is conducted is not a fair and just expression of the will of the qual ified voters. What about those who sell them selves, their votes and their service, some for one thing and some for an otnor. i hose who take possession of a.! the standing room around the polls ■ nd pi ocee1 to dictate to every one as to how they should vote even prepar ing the ballots in advance. You would be surprised to know for what a small thing some of these ne< nle sell mu and tram ply under foot the sacred rights for which our forefathers shed their blood to grain and defend, I want it understood that I am not talking about any class of people; all classes arc involved in this, and some who do not take an active part in crowding around the polls and in carrying into effect the ugly practices, do the plan ning, and they advise and encourage, and they are just as much to blame as those who actually participate. Some sell out for the prestige it gives them, some for a few dollars, some for a smoke or drink, some one thing and some another. What do they do ? How do they work? You have witnessed it over and over if you have been around the polls much. Some one starts to the polls to vote ar.d when they get in sisrht one or more of the “workers” will start for the voter with a hand full of marked tickets, and if the vot er has no mind of his own he will take the iharked ticket from the worker and permit him to walk beside him to the polls to see that he votes right. If he is inclined to want his own way voting, a half dozen or more of the workers gather around him, and they are all good friends to him, and all have some special advice to give. If you have a mind and will of our own and this is generally known you are permitted to vote as you please. But if you can be pulled, persuaded, coax ed, cajoled, intimidated, fooled, or sometimes if your vote can be stolen, you vote the workers’ ticket. The thing a voter should do, when these Workers will not let him alone, is to politely inform them that he is capable of doing his own voting, and if they, in their stupidity and some times in their drunken condition, con tinue to insist on doing your voting for you, should you slap them in? the face you would be entirely justified. It is an insult to have any one hand ing you a marked ballot and presid ing over you while you vote, and should be treated as such. It is as much as to say to you, “l know you are not capable of preparing your own ballot, therefore, I will take advan tage of your ignorance and east the vote for you to my ow i liking.*’ And many times these parties who are so solicitous and are inclined to give you so much attention on election day do not know you,any other time. It is a different matter if it i - a tried and I true friend talking the matter ovej with you at your request, the only way a friend would want to treat you. If there is anything democratic about thi method of holding primaries I am unable to see it. The whole busi ness is wrong and the leaders, and pol iticians in the state know, and have known for years, that it is not a just and right way to hold an election, and yet they will not make a move to cor rect the evil practice. Then you nat urally want to know why. In my judgment, it is because they do not want a just and fair expression of the will ef the people, but they want to impose and force their will upon the people by leaving it as it is. In this way the politicians can select their favorite, and when the favorite is op posed by some one, who many times is a much better qualified and more capable person, they can go out and hire the workers to surround the bal lot boxes on election day and capture the votes for their favorite. 1 here is one other thing you should keep in mind, the workers do not work for nothing, some of them get nretty good pay so I have been told, and you, Mr. Taxpayer, pay the bill It would be a very easy matter to enact a fair and just election law that would elim inate most of this unseemly and un just farce that is enacted over and over every two years if the politi cians would use their influence in that direction. A law that would not allow a ticket to be given to any one until they go to the polls to vote, and after ascertaining if they are a qualified voter, hand them one ticket and per mit no one to be around to suggest who they should vote for. no one pres, ent except the sworn poll-holders. Nr, one to be present to intimidate, ca jole, fool or steal the vote. Let the voter prepare his own ticket and put it in the box and pass out. This would be much more appealing and inviting to the women. I for one would like to see the great moral force of the good women of the state placed squarely behind this reform, and should they become aroused andgfive it their sup port, you would see-the little, self apnointed guardians of the people and politicians scuttling for cover and they would go about telling how they had always favored this very thing, and a different election law would he written and placed on the statute books of North Carolina.
