Many of them have worked wonders in developing other sections. For a long time North Carolina did not have much money and her people sent the larger portion of that out of the state. DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK How much North Carolina has contributed in big men and money to develop other sec tions of the country? In recent years we have opened our eyes and begun to realize the necessity of keeping our men and money at home to develop our own state, and she has begun to blossom like a rose. Suppose the money paid out by the people of North Carolina for all kinds of insurance during the last fifty years had been kept at home? What a different state we would now have!

CM WIN WITH HUMS DIVIDED-NEEDS ME DELETES Washington, June 10.—Coincident with the closing down of congress the supporters of William G. McAdoo come forward with the announce ment that, with the accession of three more delegates to the ranks, they would be able to count an ac tual majority. They now have 547 del egates, definitely committed or under instructions, and this does not take jinto account they affirm, the numer ous delegates who are to go to New | York from states nominally opposed to the nomination of McAdoo, but who are known, personally, to favor the I California candidate. These delegates i will come to the aid of McAdoo, they think at the first opportunity, so that an actual majority of the delegates | will favor McAdoo the moment the convention is called to order. In some respects Democrats are I convinced the outlook is excellent. , Owing to the activity of LaFollette ! they see a divided Republican house j hold; Things went wrong for the I Republicans in congress by reason of the Democratic insurgent combina tion at critical junctures. There is vln. dication in the general situation for Senator Simmons, who insisted months ago that it would be impos sible to avoid entangling alliances with the insurgents, work out some legis lation of benefit to the country, and at the same time throw Republican executive plans into the air. Some of Mr. Simmons’ colleagues thought it would be best for the country and for the Democratic party to have no deal ings with the insurgents and to per mit the Republican party to assume all the responsibilities of legislation, since it was supposed to be a Repub lican administration. Now it is cer min mat me worn oi congress, certain clashes between the President and congress, the several scandals—all these developments, are certain to fig ure in the Presidential campaign, for the most part to the disadvantage of the Republican party. But the ointment is not entirely free from flies. The Democrats at the present moment see no way to avoid the injection of the dread religious is sue into the proceedings in New York. In conversation with friends Demo cratic leaders admit that the ques tion holds possibilities, not only of mischief, but of disaster. It was as certained here today that a series of conferences had been held here of late days b y party leaders in the hope of devising ways and means of keeping the religious issue in the background, pretty far back. There is a disposition The Fruit Outlook. From Agriculture and Industry. The fruit outlook in North Caro lina is unusually good for all crops. The January freezes did not do any damage and the late spring freezes about April 1st did material damage in very few spots. As a matter of fact, the late cold period had the effect of thinnings, which saved the farmers • thousands of dollars, as the hand thinning process is very expensive and tedious. The Sandhill peach area expects to ship around 2,500 cars this year. The apple growers of the mountain coun ties are anticipating a full crop. Even small fruits are bearing better than usual. The growers have given orch ards more than the usual care this year, especially in the commercial peach territory. The condition of peaches in this state on May 1st was estimated at 83 per cent of a full crop. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

S. to remember Rum, Romanism and Re bellion, and what this did to the hap less Blaine. David Rockwell, the McAdoo man ager at Chicago, gave the party lead ers an awful, jolt by making a state ment to the effect that McAdoo would not oppose a platform plank directed against the Ku Klux klan and its "u«. American” activities. Mr. McAdoo felt impelled to take issue with his own | manager, and to say he had made no such statement. This served to accen tuate the already delicate situation. Senator Underwood told some of his friends recently that the klan would ultimately destroy the Demo cratic party. It is an observation that 1 may be prophetic. The resolution com mittee will be a big one. It will be comprised of more than fifty mem 1 bbrs, and while there is little likeli hood that the committee will favor ably report a resolution or plank dt | rected against the klan, there is al most certain to be a minority report, and it might be very difficult to avoid an all day discussion of the subject. An anti-klan plank in the platform, and the defeat of McAdoo on *he theory that he is regarded as the klan candidate, would sunder the Demo i crats feel that the wet, Catholic issue I has assumed t he proportions of the 1 black cloud on their horizon. It would be possible to table an anti-klan reso lution, ai d a motion to table would not be debatable, but here again there : would be danger of alienating the i Smith and the Underwood forces, be ' cause they might very well set up a ihue and cry against gag rule and against the operation of the steam ! roller by what might prove a bare raa j jority. ine party ini^ni ue uamneu n it does s«lnd to the table the ‘loaded” resolution, and it would be certain to he damned if the party management pave free rein to such a discussion. On the day before the convention the McArioo leaders will meet and the two big questions which will receive at tention will be the one relating to the ! klan, what to do about it when the is ; sue must be faced in the convention and the question relating to the two thirds rule. It has been reported that ; all idea of abrogating the two-third ! rule has been abandoned, but this is ia mistake. What the McAdoo people I will do about this will not bo detcr | mined until the day before the con vention. Sessions of Congress are getting to be ii.n awful lot like a world war.

McBRAYER Refined Guests. 1 When the big road party of South Americans and others passed through Monday Heinz had nothing on the bunch for variety and Shelby had for a few moments more nationalities than ever before. The road builders of two continents, which is pretty big talking if you don’t remember any more geography than the writer, stop ped here for only a short time, the halt being made at Cleveland Springs. Brazil hopped out of a big bus and Argentine followed and the party pro ceeded down to the springs where the slain deer furnished Cleveland Springs its first nistory. Some of the Caro, linians with the party, who were not strangers at the springs, grabbed a cup and started drinking the far famed mineral water, the others and the South Americans took the cue and began drinking—and sniffing, the sniffing being by some of the visitors. One little bronze-faccd fellow sniffed a time or two, looked around and see ing nothing unusual with his hosts and being a guest and polite emptied his cup. But there was a perplexed look in his eyes even when he left town, His comprehension failed to connect up—big manufacturing plants fine highways, beautiful farm lanits, and water that “tasted.” Perhaps he will leave out any account of the Clev eland Springs water when he re recounts his Carolina experiences at borne, and mavbe it would be host for it is our opinion that little notable from the continent to the south con sidered the “funny water” a joke of bis hosts and just made the best of it. Second Christening. In the life of everyone there is a “Red", a “Tubby’’ a “Slim”, or some characters with^characteristic names. No matter thevchristening^ once a pe cularity attracts a “nick-name”, the latter title is the favorite “fum then on and thereafter.” And this introduc tion leads up to our story, which is of a transformation of one of Shelby’s nightlife electric display signs. One of the town’s favorite eating places is the New Cleveland Cafe, Earl Ly brand proprietor. However should you stop a Shelbyite on the street and ask him to direct you to the New Cleve land he would be for the moment per plexed despite the fact that the cafe in question has “New Cleveland” in glaring letters on both windows and until recently on the large sign But, in turn ask the youngest young ster in town as to the location of “Heavy’s place” and the information will be forthcoming. The proprietor was christened Earl but by doing what he likes for others to do he became “Heavy” and “Heavy” he will be. His present location on W. Marion street was opened under the firm name of the “New Cleveland” but new or old it was still “Heavy’s Place,” where the gang gathered at regular inter vals, and perhaps in desperation, or maybe just hidden pride, the big elec tric sign one night gleamed out “Heavy’s Cafe.” The state champions, for they “hang out” regularly there j and their friends, looked in amaze j ment, passed in and increased their | order perhaps, for hadn’t “Heavy” at ; last accepted the inevitable. Such i3 'life, your parents may christen you George Washington Lincoln, but the boys will soon be referring to you as “Wash” or “Link”, and it is best to accept the title for it will stick like discarded chewing gum no matter your attitude. What? — iffl, Shelby and Cleveland people are wondering: How many women voted in the pri mary Saturday? W hat effect the boll weevil will have on the cotton crop this year? Whether or not the new fountain will be made the “Memorial Foun tain?” If the town’s first term of Federal court will be held this fall? Who keeps the court square clean? If there is any way of keeping the postoffice open after 9 o’clock at night? W’hat the South Americans thought of Shelby? Rutherford Strong For A. W.
