GLOVER, Manager Murphy Has Cheer For Straight Talk t Spencer Murphy in Salisbury Past i j So it had to be the Colonel who would come right out in the ope n and say it Willie Person, with his great -expanse of boisterous vest and jovial face and his voice that gets itself wonderfully amplified between his lungs and his lips, has thrown caution to the winds, exploded in the power of a Franklin county wrath and told a newspaper man that he is damned sick and tired of North Carolina's , Democratic can didates for office straddling the fence, pussyfooting and playing hide-and-go-seek with their coat tails. It was coming socner or later, and I am rather glad that Colonel Willie was the man to do it From now on we should hear considerable of it. The Democratic party in the state is probably as strong as usual but its unity has certainly been im paired of recent months It is th*> most natural thuig in the world for an honest voter to so resent the county and state nominees either bellyaching over or bolting from the national ticket so that he will re strict his vote to the national ticket as a gesture of disapproval if noth ing else I know of half-a-dozen Derao- , erats who swear that they are going j ! to do this very thing and I am not i at all out of sympathy with it. Senator Simmons. even yet a j nominal leader in the state. has | given the most admirable demon 1 stration of pool' sportsmanship ! that I know of in North Carolina : history He is exactly in the posi | ticn of a football star who refuses ! to play because the team elects i another man captain The analogy j is perfect So long as he was the big noise, so long as he got the ap I plause from the grandstands he i was a good player. he preached ! team-work because the better the i team-work behind him the more ; brilliantly he stood out. But when the team grew out of the prep-school stage and had to ’ hold its own among the big boys ; the star lost his importance in the team-consciousness which knocked him off his pedestal onto an equal j footing with the rest. He was not ! content to be one of them: so lie j became a sullen, self-pitying martyr [ on the side-lines. All this is very’ ! well and will not count for much in j the end: but if the scrubs. lost , without an idol to worship, con | tinue to run around in circles, I afraid of their own shadows, then | it is going to count for a good deal. If a candidate for a small job i can't be loyal to his party in its : choice of a candidate for a big job. j he’ll get right out if he’s a sport. : The situation has passed the usual stage of petty politics. it’s some thing bigger now. The body of the party can stand a sufficient number of boils through which the corruption may es cape in the form of bolters and no harm done: but when even minor organs of the body itself become diseased, than it is every part for itself. In such a case I will vote the naticnal ticket and let the rest, from my good friend Max Gardner down, take care of itself. I am not wise and I am not cau tious. Old heads will frown at mv foolish extremes. But, my ancient and venerable political wiseacres. I assert that you can frown your faces into a permanent paralysis and it will not do half as much good as it will for you to get to gether and provide some vital and unyielding substance to replace the anemic fluid that trickles up and down the spines ai some of our state and county candidates Make them oome out and support Smith in whatever opposition there may be or make them get off the tiicket. And in the meanwhile. three cheers for Willie Person who is go | ing into the next legislature as a Democrat or not going in at all. Half Crop Cotton In Gaiton, View Says Reports Of Boils And Squares Dropping On Account Too M«ch Rain Gastonia.—There will be about a half crop of cotton in Gaston county this fall, according to a prediction of Prank Costner, veteran cotton weigher at the local platform, who has been talking with a number of farmers over the county the last few days. According to Mr Costner, the small bolls and many of the squares are dropping off on ac count of the heavy rains and soggy soil which have caused the plants to become too full of sap. Mr Costner said that several farmers have told him that they expected their cotton crop to be cut in half. Cotton was doing well up until two weeks ago in spite of the ex treroely dry spell of three weeks’ duration. Then came the series of hard rains which have extended up until now and these have impregn ated the soil with a superfluity of water. Cotton can make little growth when surcharged with wa ter in cloudy weather Of course all crops in the vicin- i ity of overflowing streams have suffered. In some places along the river bottoms corn and cotton have j been swept away entirely by the j force of the water. Truck and garden crops have not j been hurt by the rain but R has been hard to get them to market. Cotton, however, is the mam money crop in this section and with a short crop and probably a low price farmers will be hard put this fall. Sea well Declares Gardner A Good Scout And Sport Charlotte—Ht rtoert F. Sea well, Republican rand.uate for the governorship of North Caro lina expec ts to take an active and aggressive part in the com ing political campaign in the state despite the fact that he has been a hospital patient here for several weeks. Mr. Seawell underwent an ojuratiou for appendicitis here three weeks ago. He returned to his home at Carthage Friday accompanied by his wife. 1 was afraid for a while," Mr. Seawell said, "that 1 would be unable to take an active part in the campaign 'out I am happy to state now that I will lx- able to be active in the campaign. I have kept in touch with the situation to a considerable ex tent. "J appreciate the messages of good cheer I have received from many friends, hut none more than the message from Max Gardner, my opponent in the campaign wdio is a good scout and a good sport." Long Term School In 17 Counties Now Th**> Have Decided Not To Wait For Tlie State To Take Action. Raleigh—Seventeen North Caro lina counties which need an eight months school term, have decided not tc wait for the state to act. Superintendent Allen was saying Friday and Washington, far down in the cast, this week joined the sweet sixteen which already had signed up. The newspapers in their recent meeting in Sedgefield, the farmers in their west Raleigh convention* and the women in their League of Women voters have gone far enough to register their faith. But politically neither party lias acted corporately. There is no pledge that even the 1929 general assembly will make prevision for a state wide plan of financing. That this legislature wHl devote a big pile to the equal ization fund is not doubted The 1927 assembly came near providing a plan of statewide finance. But there are now 17 counties which are going to have the eight months. And they are not all the rich units with an abundance of tangible property to tax. In the election held this week the tax carried by a two to one vote. This is the home of Van Buren Martin, who has represented the CQflnty several times in the lower bouse. There are not many counties l which will have to sacrifice more 'tffin this. Dr. Allen was very hap ; py when he received the news. “A year ago I prophesied that there would probably be 20 counties ; operating an eight months school j term this year.” the state superin tendent said. "Gaston county miss ; ed it by fewer than 100 votes, and Graham county missed it in its : election by fewer than 50 votes.” Beaufcrt county has voted the lax, he saidv but as yet has not lev | ied it. "The eight months school | term is a question primarily for the i people themselves to determine." said Dr. Allen. "It is a difficult mat | ter to carry an election over a whole county, but almost uniformly large \ special tax districts have carried by large majorities." The following counties are now operating an eight months school i term: Carteret. Currituck. Durham, I Edgecombe. Gates, Guilford. Hen 1 dersen, Mecklenburg, New Hanover. Northampton, Pamlico, Pasquotank Transylvania, Vance, Wilson, Le noir and Washington. The liemocratic National Com mittee has made it plain that com paign contributions of a dime will be acceptable. To us experienced political observers that can mean ; only cne thing. The Democrats are trying to get a contribution from the elder Rockefelle.—Spokane Spokesman-Review. \ SPECIAL EXCURSION TO FLORIDA Via I SOUTHERN RAILWAY j SYSTEM 5 Tuesday, August 21, 1928 j Round trio fares from Shelby, N.
