FRIDAY JULY 27, 1 tribute paid his remarkable address in opening the Demo cratic campaign here this week. We do not intend to touch upon the topic, or topics of the address itself. Those points have been well covered and read from one end of the county to the other—we should say, perhaps, from one end of the state to the other. What we do wish to emphasize is the fact that Hoey, with his widely-heralded silver-tongue eloquence, spoke to a crowd that did not agree with him altogether in his views—that is, it did not when he started speaking. Time only will tell how the crowd accepted his views, if one can sav that it did not accept them after hearing roar after roar of applause. There are few men who could have handled a partly antagonistic crowd as Hoey handled it, but every person in the big audi torium knew that Hoey sentiments are sincere and come from the heart; and behind the Hoe,v appeal was a moral background of actual living that no man or woman in his presence could dispute. We would not detract from the elo quence of Cleveland county’s most noted orator. Not in the least. But any other man just as eloquent couldn’t have swayed a divided audience as he swayed it, not unless that man had behind him a personal record just as spotless as that of Smith as painted by Hoey.. It is hard to express just what we are trying to say, but let us try it this way: One man may go down to a local bank, ask to borrow $1,000, and get it. A short time later another man may come along, make the same request and fail to get a cent. Why? The men who lend money at the banks know, or make it then business to know, the men who borrow. The people who dared a thunderstorm to hear Hoey open the Democratic campaign may not have agreed with him in all things, but they knew Hoey. If you get us. A tribute like that, in our opinion, is to be cherished fat more than a tribute to eloquence and oratory, or a tribute to political cunning and shrewd statesmanship. We doff again to a noted native son, and to no one do we apologize for our provincial pride in him the man, first of all, then his elo quence.

MOVE OF SIMMONS SURPRISES SOME Resignation Believed To Show Con tinued Opposition To Al Smith. Raleigh. July 2t> The unherald ed resignation of Senator V M Simmons from the national Demo* eratiC executive committee was seen here today as the answer of the veteran North Carolina political leader to the demand from some Quarters that lie make a statement in connection with the candidacy of Governor Alfred E. Smith, of N»w York, as ins party's choice tor tli presidency. His action revived fresh memories of his bitter but unavailing fight to prevent the nomination of the New York governor, who. he asserted, "could not be nominated, and could not be elected " Senator Simmons let his opposition to the Smith boom bo known several months ago. basing it upon the "unavailability ' of the candidate A short tune be fore the Houston convention lit made a speech on the floor of the senate reiterating his staunch op position to Smith. In the course of ius light, bena tor Simmons was credited vain having been instrumental in-enter ing Representative Cordell Huh Tennessee, us a presidential candi date in North Carolina. Alter a spirited campaign, the Hull-Sim raon.s torees won in the state con vention. with the result that more than three-fourths of the Tar Heel delegates at Houston were pi dge l to the Tennesseean. Senator Simmons was unanimous ly re-elected national committee man by the state delegation alter it reached Houston but before the nomination ot Governor Smith. On the advice ol his physician, the senator did not attend the conven tion. He was represented, however, by liis secretary, Frank A, Hampton who carried on a last ditch light against Smith Hampton also rep resented the senator by proxy at the meeting of the national com mittee which elected John J. Ras kob as chairman. Since the convention. Senator Simmons has made no statement of a political nature. He described -j unauthorized a number of newspa per articles purporting to give his views, and announced that when he was ready to say something it would be given out over his own signature. The senator, recognized as head of the party in this state for more ! than a quarter of a century, be ! cam"' national committeeman in ; 1624 succeeding Angus W Mac; Lean 1 who gave up the post when he be came a candidate for governor. I SHUN POLITICS. BAPTIST PLEADS President Of Georgia Convention Urges Ministers To Avoid Affairs Of State. Atlanta.—-The Baptist preachers • of Georgia have been urged by Ur. John D. Mel!, president of the Geor gia Baptist convention to keep out ol politics. Dr Mell, who has been president ol the Georgia convention since 1912 has written an open letter to the Baptist preachers which will be published in The Christian Index * here. He warned the ministers to avoid polities particularly in the pulpits. He said that there were three i great issues in the race for presi i dent of the United States. '‘pro hibition. the racial question and the religious question any one of which ' has enough dynamite in it to de stroy ttie peace and harmony of any church in the world " Ui Mell is the active pastor of ! three Baptist.churches near Athens, tils open letter declares; "To the Baptist preachers ot Georgia: "Dear Brethren: Will you permit a fellow worker With you in a com mon cause who loves you affection- • i ately. but most - ainestly to beg you not to let anyone speak for or against any candidate for jxditical office m the churches where you are pastors? and. above all not to do this yourselves from your pul mi.. ■"There are three issues in the race for president of the United States, viz: prohibition, the racial question and the religious question, any one of which has enough dyna mite in it to destroy the peace and * harmony of any church in the world. They all, combined, have enough dynamite in them to ’work irreparable injury to our Master's cause, and to make wounds so deep that none of us will live long enough to : see them healed. Our jubilee campaign will be endanger ed if the churches are going to be torn by these questions, as our peo- ■>.. pie in every church are already di vided un them." Warrant Tor Hoover BurUngarns. Calif A warrant for the attest of Herbeit Hoover is to remain unserved. It was issued in 1925 because somebody thought the headlights o! his car glared much. The successor to the Justice of the Peace who issued the warrant dots not care to renew it and says the statue oi limitations applies. --x SPECIAL PRICES! — ON — Summer Furniture REFRIGERATORS— PORCH SWINGS PORCH CHAIRS— TABLES, FLOWER S TANDS All Marked For Quick Selling Buy these things now CHEAP and they will be just as serviceable and you will enjoy them just as much as though you had bought them early in the season, when the price was high.
