BISHOP STILL ID
PBLITICtL STRIFE
Wants States Candidates Who Wore
Opposed To Smith In
Election.
Washington.—Bishop James Can
toon, jr., of the Methodist Episcopal
church, south. last week called
upon the anti-Smith Democrats of
his native state of Virginia to carry
forward a determined opposition to
the state party leaders who support
ed Alfred E Smith in the last presi
dential campaign.
Announcing that he would re
frain from participation in th;
Democratic primary next August for
the nomination of candidates for
state offices. Bishop Canndn, who
stumped the south for President
Hoover, expressed the "hope that
other anti-Smith Democrats will
abstain from such participation."
Seeks Right Nominee.
The church leader, in a letter to
rrembers of the Virginia executive
committee of the anti-Smith Demo
crats, which he made public here,
endorsed the holding of a conven
tion of anti-Smith Democrats at
Roanoke cn June 18. He said he
hoped that convention would find
and nominate for governor "an
able. well qualified anti-Smith
Democrat who did vote against AD
fied E. Smith, and did refuse to
accept or follow the present na
tional and state Democratic leader
ship, and who will continue to do
so ”
"And I believe that the election
ot such a candidate," the bishoo
wrote “would be to the best inter
ests, not only of the state of Vir
ginia, but of the Democratic party
in state and nation, for sucii result
would warn the Democratic party
in the nation at large that south
ern Democrats will not agree to sur
lender their moral convictions for
a purely political party triumph,

and that a continuation of the
Smith-Raskob leadership will mean
the permanent loss of the south to
the Democratic party.”
Bishop Cannon interpreted Pres
ident Hoover's victory in Virginia,
the first of a Republican presiden
! tial candidate since the Civil War
:as ‘‘a clean-cut, sweeping repudia
tion by a majority of the people In
[Virginia cf those Democratic state
Headers who followed and defend
ed Smith and Raskob and villified
; the anti-Smith speakers and lead
i ers.”
No Previous Protest.
"Up to this hour," he continued.
: "no voice of protest has been rats-,
cd by the Virginia members of the
i Democratic national committee or
by the Democratic state leadership
[or Virginia, against the continua
ition of the Smith-Raskob leader
ship and against its so-called lib
jeral’ anti-prohibition policy.
"To accept now the present.-dev
jstill unwashed and still unrepen*
ant state or national Democrat1:
party leadership would be to brartl
a utterly mistaken and unwarrant
ed the course pursued by the anti
! Smith Democrats in 1928, an.i
would, therefore, very properly sub
ject them to contempt and ridicule
as 'quitters’ or ‘cowards' in a stren
uous, unfinished, still-continuing
conflict for the maintenance of the
great moral and social policy of
prohibition.'’

Marquette Offered by Buick
in Medium-Price Field
The Four Door Sedan Is one of the six models comprising the new Marquette
line just introduced by the Bulck Motor Company
Buick dealers throughout thp
country today are displaying the
Marquette, a new Six, produced and
distributed by the Buick Motor Com
pany. This car which will sell in the
medium-price field, is offered in six
models—a two-door sedan — a four
door sedan — business coupe — sport
coupe—a soadster and a touring car.
The Marquette is an exceptionally
large car for its price class having
a wheelbase of 114 inches. Prices on
the car range from $965 to $1035.
The six-cylinder L-hcad motor and
the crankcase are cast in one integral
unit. The engine has a bore and
stroke of 3J4' by 4s*' and develops
67.5 maximum brake horsepower.
Buick officials say the Marquette has
remarkably quick acceleration and a
maximum speed up in the seventies.
All models are designed along low
swung rakish lines. The bodies are built
by Fisher and finished in Duco color
combinations that follow distinctive
fashion trends. The radiator which is
covered with a qietal grille is deep
with a narrow chromium plated rim
that balances with the chromium
plated bub caps. The wheels are
sturdy and carry large section 28x5.25
balloon tires.
The Marquette ha* a new non-glare
Fisher YV type windshield which sets
at an angle of seven degrees from the
perpendicular and eliminates all glare,
whether from the rear, front or sides.
Other features embodied in the
Marquette include large internal ex
panding Duo-Servo four-wheel brakes,
an adjustable steering wheel, adjust
able driver's seat, built-in bumper
mountings and all chromium plated
outside hardware. The soft, but dur
able, mohair upholstery is waterproof,
impregnated under a new process with
a rubber solution.
A full pressure lubricating system
is used on the new car insuring a
constant flow of oil to main bearings,
connecting rod bearings, cylinder walls,
camshaft bearings and the timing
chain. The water cooling system is
thermostatically controlled and has
ample capacity to keep the engine at
normal temperatures under all driving
conditions.
The tapered chassis is exceptionally
sturdy and, together with the long
semi-elliptic springs, gives the Mar
quette new qualities of restful, smooth
riding at all road speeds.
FALLSTON ITEMS
OF LATE EVENTS
Shelby Oralor Delivers Stirring Ad
dress To High School Graduat
ing Class.
Newton.—The closing exercises of
the New ton graded school wes held
in the high school auditorium Fri
day evening Hon Clyde R. Hoey,
of Shelby, delivered the address to
the graduating class, numbering 19.
Mr. Hoey spoke on the individual
and the relationship the commun
ity should have to him. "The Com
munity." the speaker stated, "should
see to it that every individual shall
have an equal chance," but he
brought out in an emphatic way
that all the individuals would not
take advantage of it. "There are as
many different kinds of people as
there are trees in the forests, the
only way to become like the great
outspread eak. is to deny ones
self," said the orator, "that is the
way to do great tilings in the com
munity."
The program began with several
musical selections by the high
school orchestra and the high
school glee club, and concluded just
prior to the benediction with a val
edictory address by Miss Vera Hun
suckcr and a song by the senior
class.
Veteran Of 100
Going To Reunion
Curry County Centenarian Entered
For Honor Of Being Oldest
Confederate.
Raleigh.—Controversy over the
Confederate who will have the hon
or of being the oldest at. the annual
reunion in Charlotte has excluded
the best bet furnished by Surry
county, Jordan A. Hall, who passed
the 100 mark April 10 and recently
celebrated big at his home in Dob
sen.
Mr. ’’Hall was born in Virginia,
but he has recovered from that and
is a Surry Democrat who hoisted
his hat high for A1 Smith in the
late campaign. The soldier is in fine
shape, walks as far as he wishes
and recently cast off his reading
glasses when the good Lord gave
him back his old eyes.
Mr. Hall has a nephew, D S. Mc
Millan. in Raleigh and this patriot
ic citizen who did not think any
thing like the thoughts of Smith
that his uncle expressed, hopes to
enter his kinsman for seniority hon
ors in the great show- in Charlotte.
If there is another Confederate able
to navigate at 100 plus it is some
body’s duty to trot the war horse
out. The best age yet suggested for
the oldest is 95. And that was consi
dered marvelous. Jordon A Hall will
be able to go to Charlotte and take
part in every act of the reunion.
He has no catholicon for living.
Mr. Hall recommends first that indi
viducl "behave himself." That means
lo Mr. Hall, the eating of proper food
and treating one's body sanely.
Unless somebody gets out an in
junction against him he will be in
Charlotte at the reunion

SICK STOMACH
First Trial of Black-Draught
Convincing, Says Lady,
Who Escaped Suffering
By Taking It.
Jackson, Miss.—“My first experi
ence with Black-Draught convinced
me that It was a good medicine,”
says Mrs. Ida Kersh, 311 South Con
gress Street, this city, who says she
has taken Black-Draught for years.
"My trouble,” writes Mrs. Kersh,
“was sick headache which seemed
to be caused by constipation. I
used to have a thick, slimy taste in
my mouth, and such a tired, bad
feeling. This would be followed by
headache and sick stomach. I would
have to stop my work and go to bed.
“I read about Black-Draught and
decided to try it. 1 found that by
I taking the Black-Draught in time,
I could ward off these sick spells.
"And so for the last twenty years,
' when I feel the least bit bad, I take
i Black-Draught and feel that it has
! saved me much pain and sickness."
Constipation dams up poisons in
the bowels, where they are absorbed
' into the general system, causing
many serious symptoms.
Thousands of letters of praise
from users of Thedford’s Black
Draught. on fUe at the laboratories

it is held for the relief of constl

Tropic Thrrr Becoming Tlrrd Of
Grafters And Official Money
Squanderers.
Taxpayers in Chicago are af last
in a mood, some observers belle, o.
| to turn upon the grafters and offic
j ial squanderers who have brought
that municipality to the' verge of
( bankruptcy, and given it the repu
j tation of being the most lawless of
! all our large cities. The city is be
ginning to stagger under its load of
needless debt, and is tired of being
a horrible example Sueh, at least,
s the interpretation which the
more hopeful press writers place up
n the action of Chicago grand
uries in indicting 124 citizens and
fficials on various crfmnal charg
The determined attempt to break
rp ttie alliance between the city's
politicians and ll.s underworld, we
-re told, is proceeding under the
'inn hand of state's attorney John
\ Swanson, a very different man
from his predecessor. Developments
up to May R were thus summarized
by the Chicago Journal
a former trustee have born indict
'd for conspiracy to defraud the
taxpayers. Six police captains have
torn indicted for conspiracy in con
nection with the operations of a
lot-machine gambling ring. Both
"roups are composed of men elected
or appointed to serve the public.
Ml are charged with violation of
'rust.
"The police captains, at their own
request, have been given furloughs.
They will be relieved of duty until
vindicated or found guilty. The of
ficers themselves have sensed the
impropriety of remaining on duty
under the circumstances. No such
perception moves the sanitary dis
trict trustees. Repeatedly they have
been called upon to resign; just as
often they have refused.
"The best Interests of the com
munity, as well as a sense of fair
ness toward the accused, demand a
speedy trial for both the indicted
police captains and the sanitary
district trustees. The public has
heard the charges against them ntr
ed repeatedly; the grand jury which
weighed I he evidence deemed It of
sufficient importance to warrant
indictments. If any of these men
i arc unjustly accused, the sooner
| they are vindicated the better; If
they are guilty, swift punishment
should follow."
The profits of the law-breaking
slot-machine syndicate, the Chicago
Pally News tells us, mounted into
the millions, and the evidence sub
mitted to the grand Jury showed
that "hundreds of thousands of dol
lars were paid to politicians and po
lice officials for their connivance."
The same paper continues:
“While the community knows that
corruption has flourished in the
police department, and that allianc
es between the underworld and po
liticians have demoralized more
than one municipal department, it
does not desire that undeserved re
flections be cast upon a single pub
lic servant.
“It. does desire that swift. and
condign punishment be accorded
any faithless person clothed witli
official authority.”
What the "whoopee variety of
government” has done for Chicago
and her citizens is thus stated by
an editorial in an eastern paper, the
Newark Evening News
Her financial situation can only
be described ns desperate Half n
billion dollars' worth of public im
provements are In nbeyance. Her
public treasuries are empty. Her
education department is closing the
scholo year with a $23,000,000 deficit
and the Drospect that her schools
may not open again In September
for lack of funds. Public confidence
in her government has departed; tax
payers decline, time after time, to
authorize- more bonds Municipal
salaries are being paid out of bor
rowed money.
“That the second city in the land
could be brought to such u pass will
surprize only those who have not
followed the vicissitudes of her his
tory for the past few years. Her
failure to cope with crime and law
leasness, permittting the smoke
screen of an anti-British propagan
da to be employed in elections to
conceal and confuse the issues of
