CLEVELAND C1NTY III fouwird SIP dretririty, Good For f.andlord, Pro vided For the Tenant Also— Lights In 900 Homes Public Service Bulletin: O. Max Gardner, who will be the next governor of North Carolina, according to Democratic edict, is a firm believer In the social as well as the economic potency of elec tricity; and. he emphasizes par ticularly the effects of electricity on the rural community. For years Mr Gardner has been preach ing rural electrification; he has written on the subject, he has spoken in season and out, and he has worked as well as spoken. At the dedication of the Carolina Power and Light company's new Norwood hydro plant, Mr. Gardner found a fitting occasion further to preach his “gospel of light.” Raising the standard of living—that is what electricity is doing everywhere and Mr. Gardner wants it to function to the fullest in the rural sections of North Carolina. Josiah W. Bailey of Raleigh goes even a bit further than Mr. Gard ner tn his eulogy of electric power, declaring its use to relieve man kind of manual burdens, has direct bearing upon the religious side of life. The relationship between the social and religious effects is ob fious. In talking rural electrification, mv. Gardner takes a just pride in the accomplishments of his own county of Cleveland. There are, he states, now 900 rural homes in that com paratively small county which have electric service. But the significant development in the last few months 1b the fact that one farmer has in stalled electricity in all of his six teen tenant houses. Mr. George Blanton is the name of that farmer and he probably is a pioneer in that development. The Greensboro News points out the two considerations which might have been in Mr. Blantcn’s mind. It says: "One way of looking at it: the landlord in Cleveland finds profits from tenant labor so problematic that the difference between profit and loss may be a matter of the selection of tenants, only the best of them will make a profit, and competition for the services of the best is keen. "Then of course Mr. Blanton may be what we used to call a philan thropist; a humanitarian; a be lie£$r in light. At any rate, nis enterprise has given occasion for O. M. Gardner, a man of enthusi asjn, to apostrophize the electrifica tion of farms and farm homes in his county as having brought as great joy and happiness to our farming class as anything he has seen.” Whatever Mr. Blanton's motive, he has taken a significant step and results will be pleasing, for. as Mr. Gardner says, anything that re lieves human drudgery is a civiliz ing force. Electricity is releasing human energy for activities a bit higher than hewing stone and drawing wa ter. Another Cannery (From The Hendersonville Times New'si Markets for the farm products cf Henderson and adjoining counties counties are no longer lacking. The Hendersonville cannery is ready for business and offers a local market for many car loads of fruits and vegetables. Shipping arrangements for farm products have also been made and many more car loads can he shipped to distant markets, at prices which, as a rule, ought to be satisfactory to the farmers. From this time it is evident that the farm ers' problem is going to be that of production instead of the former problem of finding a market. Do not throw away your old handless cups. They make excellent custard cups. CLOSING OUT SALE Beginning F R I D A Y , JULY 20TH, we will close out our Basement stock, lock, stock and barrel.

Laurinburg Exchange. The threatened bolt of some Dem ocrats from the party ranks this fall because of the nomination of Governor Smith for president is a more serious thing than they may think. Before any Democrat com mits himself to the candidate of another party he should remember the debt that eastern North Caro lina and especially Scotland county owes to the Democratic party for the redemption of this section from Re publican domination and Negro rule in the last years of the 19th cen tury. It is yet recent history and many are still living who remember those awful days. It was the Democratic party and Democratic leadership in North Carolina that rallied to the cause of white supremacy and delivered the people of this county and all East ern Carolina from a bondage of political corruption that has had no 1 equal in the history of America. Men who lived through that period of history have prayed that then children should be delivered from such a vassalage; that the terrois and the shame of a reigme in North I Carolina that must forever remain j as something that men would pre j ter to forget, shall not be enacted j again, and that the government cf a great State delivered into the hands of free men shall remain to them and their children a glorious and an unbroken heritage. But the very forces that in those 1 days of shadow' and eclipse exploited | popular government and betrayed the people are again seeking a re turn to power and would sell the birthright of all the people for a .mess of political pottage. Governor Smith may be unacceptable to many | Democrats for reasons well know*. But the Dedocratic party is bigger than Governor Smith of New Yors. or any candidate for any office It is up to this time the world's fine.t symbol of the doctrine of human j rights. And in North Carolina while men owe it a debt that they can not forget.

"L-!"1-.. ■'■■sheiii*' Equality Of Negroes Will Keep The South From Voting Republican In Fall Negro Question Too Much For Dem ocrats to .Stomach, Carolina Writer Says. Athens, Ga.,—Belief that there would be no serious bolt in southern democracy this fall was expressed here tonight by Robert Lathan. edi tor of the Asheville <N. C.i Citizen, a speaker at the opening of the in stitute of public affairs and inter national relations at the University of Georgia. ‘‘The best quarantee that there [will be no serious bolt on the part of Southern democrats this fall is that the thinking people of the South jare hbt ready to countenance the (development now of a situation which might result in the reappear iancefcf the .negro as a formidable factor at the polls in this, section,' he said. Mr. Lathan Pulitizer journalism prize winner of 1924. said the Souths chief political objective for 40 years after the close of the war between the states, was th^ "elimination of the negxo from politics,” He said that many southern white people assume "* * * that the ma chinery which was established” for the “liminaticn of the negro from politics had "accomplished its work permanently The fact is that a large proportion of Southern negroes to day can meet the tests under which they w"re disfranchised.' "If any considerable number of negroes are encouraged to re-enter politics in this section they will, if they get back in. be in to stay and will be followed by others. Person ally I do not believe that this would be good for them or for the South But If a deep division should take place between the whites in any state how is to be stopped? Those who want to spue the democratic | party in the south will need to am- i wer that question before they can j expect their etforts to be taken sen- j ously." Filets taken troni small fish and from flounders, or other fat-fish, are sometimes rolled and held until i cooked with small skewers. Wooden j tooth-picks serve this purpo$n very I well. Turnips and carrots cut into dice. I boiled separately, then mixed and i covered with a cream sauce, make j a good vegetable dish for boiled i mutton. Caper sauce is always ser- j \ed with it.
