The thing that made Senator Sim mons was the red shirt campaign of 1898 That campaign was made nec essary because the white people of the state were induced to split first on the national ticket. After that in 1892. in 1894. and 1896..they split on the state ticket and hell broke loose. The advice of Senator Simmons to split now on the national ticket is the beginning of the old story over again. But Senator Simmons will not be here to lead in the correc tion of the result as he was in 1898. Uncle Billie Bland has gone to the peach show at Hamlet. left i little discouraged Too much politics is troubling him. Uncle Billie is an anti-Smith man. When he asks an anti to subscribe for The Journal the anti tells him he will not sub scribe for any paper that supports Smith And when he asks a Smith man to subscribe the Smith man tells him he will never give a sub scription to a man who will not vote for Smith. So between the two Uncle Billie is considerably worried and decided a few days rest would j help him. I If Senator Simmons has two sten | ographers writing letters of the kind which Mr. Croom had published it is ! no wonder that somebody gave him away on it. That many letters would certainly r°ach at least one person who would be too careless of the pro prieties to keep it quiet. The letter means nothing more than what Sen ator Simmons has already said in effect and will have no additional weight. A man of Senator Simmons' i lifelong record in political organiza tion has certainly reached a pitiful anti-climax in his old age, when he can object in the name of conscience to supporting the organization on the ground that it is not virtuous enough. It is pathos. Republican Gam Law-Makers Seen ..-— Mark Squires Fears G. O. P. May Increase Power In State Politics Now Charlotte News. One of the most deplorable prob able effect1 of the "A1 Smith strife' among Democrats in North Carolina will be the decrease in the num ber of Democratic members and the increase in the number of Repub lican members in the North Caro lina legislature when it meets next January at Raleigh, according to former Senator Mark Squires, of Le noir. who was in Charlotte The former senator said in somewhat doleful tones that he dc-:-s not see now how the Democrats can handle the political situation to prevent the Republicans having about 40 mem bers in the lower house of the next legislature The number of Repuo lican members in the lower house in 1927 was approximately 20, it was understood. Every member ol congress trom North Carolina will be a Democrat, as usual, said Mr Squires. The old political question in North Carolina of whether the West or the East will dominate the legislature will be brought again very strong ly to the front when the legislature next meets, he forecast. He seemed to anticipate that a number of proposals which will arouse stormy debates will be presented to the general assembly but he did not enumerate them. He has been mak ing a close study of th' rapidly changing political situation in this state while he has traveled about in the interest of the North Caro lina National Park commission, of which he is chairman. TRY STIR WANT IS. Mooresboro School Has 90 Per Cent Monday. August 6.—Mooresboro school opened today with 90 per cent of last year's total enrollment, which might be considered unusual ly good, as quite a few fail to enter school on the first day There 'were 45 present in the high school de partment and there is a strong probability of a larger enrollment in the school than during any of its past history. Quite a number of patrcns were present at the first morning’s chapel exercises which is one of the many evidences that the school occupies a large place in the niinds^if the people of the community Moores-. boro school has steadily improved and advanced year after year dur ing the last several years, and the height of its advancement is not yet reached. There are good reas ons for hoping that the 1928-29 term will surpass any term of pre vious years. When a school has a loyal and interested patronage it can hardly fail to do successful work Mooresboro people are justly proud of their school as the chiefest institution dedicated to the task of nurturing and trauiing of their chil dren during the most approachable period of the child's life. The faculty is composed as fol lows: M G. Latham, principal. Z W. Greene. Miss Janet Palls. Miss Frankie Borders. Miss Lucy Latti more. and Mrs J.

M.—More than half j of the population of this, the first j American state to be settled by Eu- ' ropeans, doesn't speak English. Although many Of the upper 1 class among, the state's 200.000 citi zens of Spanish and Mexican des cent are fully capable of using Eng lish tongu" when necessary, they cling to Spanish so closely that New' Mexico today is the cnly state whose official business, both in the state legislature and courts, is car ried on in two languages. What ever is said in English in the state capitol here is immediately trans lated into Spanish, and vice versa This remarkable situation is graphically presented by Erna Fer gussen. the New' Mexican author in an article prepared for the August issue of Century magazine. Incid entally, she points out that many of these people boast the longest na tive lineage in America today. Their ancestors from Spain settled in New Mexico almost a century before the j Mayflower landed at -Plymouth | Rock, although New Mexico has ! been a part of the union only since ! 1846 | “Moreover, the first pfoem written j on the soil of the United States i was an epic of the conquest of New I Mexico, published in 1610," she re counts. “The first play of which this country can boast was written in New Mexico and presented at Al calde in 1598. and it has been per formed at Alcalde annually ever since.” ) VIRGINIA SEASHORE EXCURSION Via \ SOUTHERN RAILWAY > SYSTEM ; WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1928. i Round Trip Fares From SHELBY.
