Skipper, Republican na tional committeemen lor Florida, returned home with President llix> ver's approval of puttings the Mann party reorganization plans into effect in tliat slate. Briefly, the plan is lo have a special commit tee to confer with the national Committeemen of patronage, to have precinct committees with as large enrollment of Republicans as possible, - county committees of two members troni each precinct and congressional committees of two members from each county. "I.iiy White" Regime. : kipper gained control of the Florida party machinery as a "Lily White' Republican. As there are few negroes m Florida, there' are lew difficulties in the way of put ting the plan into effect. It was otherwise in Tennessee, and Presi dent Hoover lias not approved the Mann plan in that state. To have recognized Mann in that state would have meant incurring tlie deadly enmity of Bob Church, the negro Republican leader. National Committeeman Jonas ^and State- Chairman Jackson re turned to North Carolina with am bitious irtans for organizing the census numerators into a grand Re publican army. It was apparent they had received assurances that they would not. be disturbed, but President Hoover probably will not stop with giving them recognition It was announced last week that .Secretary Wilbur was looking for a trained sociologist for Commis sioner of Indian affairs. It was learned that. Dr. Howurd W. Odom, professor of sociology at the Uni versity of North Carolina, was be ing seriously considered for the job. Dr. Odum is n Democrat and a trained sociologist, but if he were appointed to this Important office, there would be no doubt as to its meaning. It would be a direct bid to the independent vote in North Carolina. 11 he is not. appointed, it cannot be said that North Carolina isn't, represented in the Hoover ad ministration. Commissioner of In ternal Revenue David II. Blair is holding on to ills job. Billion For Candy And Cream, Kick Over Electric Bills Public Service. The people of the United States paid more than a billion dollars for confectionery nnd ice cream during the year 1927, according to dis patches from Washington quoting the Bureau of the Census. If we take aU Lhe bills for electric light ing for all of the 19,000,000 homes and the 350.000 farms in the United States now receiving service; for all the stores, offices, hotels and hospitals; and for street lighting for every city, town and hamlet, and add them together the total would still be far short or this sum. According to the census bureau, more money was spent during this same year for lozenges than was required to pay for the power nec essary for the operation of all of the electrified steam railroads. The cost of the electricity to operate all oi the street and interurban rail ways of the country was less that) the bill for marshmallows and hard candy. And still there are those who rant and rave about the high cost of electric service. Reliable statisticians (ell us that out of the family dollar only 4 cents is spent for utility ser vices such as electric lights, cook ing gas, street railway transporta tion and telephone. Further, elec tric service is about the only house hold commodity that has decreased In cost since the year before the war, all other commodities increas ing approximately 65 per cent. The secret of complaints about tire cost of electricity and gas, though, is that they are unseen ser vices. The householder does not ob ject to paying $10 or $12 for, a ton of coal: he registers no kick to pay ing $1.00 for a bag of flour. But when he gets a bill for $3 for an entire month's electric service, by which his whole house is lighted— bedrooms .living rooms, den, kttchen and cellar—he shouts to the world that the cost of electricity is too high. It Is all because he does not see what he is getting for that $3. He forgets that for thirty days and nights he had had this service at i his command and for Ids comfort J every minute of the dav and night -twenty-four hours a day. When one stops to think he finds electric service is about the cheap est thing he buys. SALK OF REAL ESTATE. By virtue of the power vested In nir at nttorrtey-in-fact lor the heirs of R. F.

GOLDS, INDIGESTION Tennessee Lady Tells About The Lonf Use of Ikied ford’s Black-Draught In Her Family. Rutledge, Tenn.—"For thirty year* or longer we have been using Black Draught In our home aa a family medicine, and have found It to be very handy.” says Mrs. John Mc Ginnis, of near here. “Since I have been married and had children of my own, I have found it to be a fine medicine to give them for colds and Indigestion. I have three little girls, and when I see one of them fretful and ‘droopy* to the morning, I begin treating her with a course of Black-Draught. It is not long until she Is lively and well again. I make a tea of It and give It to the children, as they taka It best that way. “I take Black-Draught for con stipation and Indigestion. If I wake up with a bad taste to my mouth and feel sluggish and dull. I know It Is time for a dose of Black Draught “We try to keep • box of mack Draught always to the house and are seldom without It My health Is generally good, but Z think it is a good thing to keep a mild, de pendable remedy on hand for spells of constipation.” to use nearly a Hundred yean. - Twenty-five doses 26#. NC-30S blackdraught for Chnttip.ttion Indirection Hil»ou\ne%% certain cities for the two years pre sent an extraordinary contrast. In east St. Louis, 111., for example, the number of homicides increased from one to 11. In Utica, N. Y„ they de creased from 14 to 3, while in Yonk ers, N. Y., they declined from 20 to none. "At the present time,” Hoffman writes, "I am unable to explain these extraordinary changes which of course, may be the result of bet law enforcement or low laxity as the case may be.” Of the southern cities with the highest rate, Hoffman says they arc places “with a relatively large col ored population.” "But even when the rates are worked out for the two race separ ately,” he continues, "it is shown that both races in the south have a decidedly higher homicide death rate than in the north, central west or far west. "The ten cities are all located In states in which the death penalty is enforced with a fair degree of rigor ous impartiality, but they are like wise located in states where the gun-carrying habit is common and the sale of firearms and ammuni tion is practically unrestricted. About three-fourths of all the deaths from homicide in southern cities are due to firearms.” The rate of these southern cities, Hoffman points out, was "nearly four times as high as the country at large while Memphis, as usual, leads the list with a homicide death rate more than six times as high as the average tor all the cities combined.” The combined homicide rate for six cities of 1,000,000 population or more was only 10 per 100.000 against an average of 38.6 per 100,000 for the ten southern cities.
