Have you written the relatives elsewhere about home coming week in Cleveland county during fair week? “Mrs. Lindbergh To Plot Course Of Pacific Flight,” in forms a headline. What is so unusual about that? Do not wives generally outline the route to be taken on vacation trips ? Close observers of world events predict that before the end of the summer the most important announcement and action since the World war will be made. What will it be? Another war, a revolution in the existing business syatenj, or what? AUTO SALES INCREASE MORE AUTOMOBILES were sold in North Carolina last month than in any month this year. What is more, the total number of automobiles sold in May exceeded the num ber sold in May of last year. That is news of a type that should give the chronic pes simist, something to worry about. The sale of new automobiles may not be a good barom eter of business conditions, but economic experts say so and it must be admitted that some money is being turned loose when over 4,000 new motors are sold in one month. Summer months are always dull business months but increasing auto mobile sales now should indicate that better times are in store this fall, once the summer lull is over. THEY ARE FOR ROOSEVELT THE CONFEDERATE VETERANS are for Franklin D. Roosevelt for president and they think the whiskey problem should be left to the individual States. That is the statement made by Sam W. Small, Atlanta political writer, who visited about among the old fellows at their reunion recently in Montgomery and talked to them about politics. "These old soldiers, who fought through four awful bloody years of war for state’s rights in the matter of slav ery are again in favor of contending by peaceful means for the same sort of rights in the states to handle the liquor problem according to their own will,” Dr. Small wrote. “I was greatly astonished t^> find that the greater num ber of them have come to believe that the Democratic party should make a strong declaration of returning the problem to the states. t . . . “Almost to a man those with whom I talked were of th<> opinion that Governor Roosevelt of New York is the right man for the Democratic nomination to the presidency.” At a matter of passing knowledge it is recalled that Dr. Small is one of the few men now living who witnessed the inauguration of Jefferson Davis as president of the Confed erate States. If there are those surprised at the attitude taken by the veterans in the liquor matter, we wonder how many of them know’ that at each reunion the Red Cross each day gives each veteran a Jnalf pint of government whiskey? ' MR. BOWIE’S BACKING IT HAS BEEN GENERALLY rumored for some time that Tam Bowie, veteran North Carolina politician, will op pose Senator Cameron Morrison for the Democratic nomi nation next year. Reports from Eastern Carolina are inter preted by The Charlotte News as indicating that the Eastern Carolina faction which fought so bitterly for the MacLean measure are backing Bowie. Senator Morrison lined up with Governor Gardner and others in declaring that it would be impossible and unjust to take all school tax off land at this time. The eastern sector did not relish that attitude and not long thereafter it was noted that Mr. B. wie appeared with Josephus Daniels, principal MacLean measure duellist, be fore a caucus of the MacLeanites. Now a statement made by Mr. MacLean is taken to mean that he will support Mr. Bowie. If the MacLeanites could join hands with those who be came riled because Senator Morrison supported Frank Mc Ninch and unite themselves behind Bowie, Senator Morrison might have a hot time of it. As it is Bowie is well enough known to make an interesting race, but our idea is that the projecting of Mr. Bowie into the senatorial race, even with the predicted backing of Daniels and MacLean, has not dis turbed Senator Morrisoq half as much as would an announce ment from Shelby that a well known statesman of this city would enter the race. Which is to say that the odds favor the return to Washington of the present senator if Clyde Hoey doea not oppose him. Now try and find out what Hoey is going to do. NEW POLITICAL BUGABOO A POLITICIAN’S LIFE IS NOT a bed of roses. There are too many nightmares. In 1928, fence-straolling politicians and office-seekers in North Carolina lost weight, sleep and votes over the Smith * * issue. Some adroitly, perhaps by a mere stroke of luck avoided taking sides. Others took sides. As a result thert are voters today, three years later, who will not vote for this man because he was a Smith supporter, and still other voters will never vote for that man because he would not stick tc Smith and the party in 1928. I he whiskey problem will have to be faced again next year, but it will not be the only one. A new battle will cen ter around the Mae Lean law (or maybe we should write it LAW) which The News and Observer is keeping to the fore front, Urged on and stimulated day after day. by the Ra leigh paper the citizens of Eastern Carolina are saying that every candidate, from governor on down, in 1932 will have to express himself on the State support of schools. That issue may cause many political knees to bump together with fear and trembling before the 1932 campaign is ended. The s.ound-thinking office-seeker, however, should not be overly perturbed over the MacLean issue. He should think it out and follow what he considers the wisest policy. If, as Gov ernor Gardner says, times are better in another year or so, if may be possible to take all school tax off land; but if busi ness conditions are not considerably improved, it will be folly to do so. Office-seekers should remember that and follow their own sane reasoning although the course pursued may be disapproved of by Editor Daniels. The one phase about the 1932 issues that may offer some consolation to politicians is that enough hue and cry 'nay be raised over .the MacLean matter to enable them i slip by the wet-and-dry issue without expressing them selves. Negro Preacher Talks All Day Rev. G. Z. Brown Accomplishes Life Ambition To Preach Clock Around. Washington.—Rev. G. Z. Brown accomplished a life ambition to preach 12 hours Sunday, refreshed by a three-week rest, tour lamb chops, the leg of a fried chicken and a few swallows of milk. His congregation at the Mount Zion Baptist church, negro, 18th and C streets, N. F... had' sent him ! on a long vacation to build up his strength for the ordeal. The pastor's sermon was already prepared, 88,194 words of closely written manuscript weighing a pound and a half. This he bore Into the pulpit at 10:50 a. m, launching upon the ser mon that was to win him a world’s record. Rev. Brown hed already eat en the lamb chops. His first subject was ""Gambling.” By 3 p. m. he had disposed of that and was discoursing on “Compan ionate Marriage.” This was something of a topic in Itself and occupied him until dark Meanwhile the congregation came and went. Attendance was 'excel lent," so was the collection. Rev. Brown's next subject was ’’Lawbreaktng," then he got around to "Prohibition," and continued with “Past Living," and "The Evil oi Dancing.’ “Famine came about 10 p. m„ and here the pastor Interrupted himself long enough to discuss the chicken leg. After that "Pestilence" and "Drought" brought a brief intermls ion. while he gulped the milk. Exactly at 11 o’clock, 12 hours and 10 minutes after he began to talk, tha pastor closed his sermon. Too nu'li tVoik Mose was taking examination for letter carrier. The examiner asked him the question: “What Is the dis tance from the earth to the sun?” “Lawsy me!” exclaimed Mose. “If you’se gwlne put me on that route Ah’s resignin’ right now!” May Sale Of Autos Largest Of Yera Improved Business Shown By Car Salw. Exceed Those Of Last Year. Raleigh.—if the sale of new au tomobiles Is any barometer of busi ness—and economic experts say tt's one of the best business indicators —then conditions are getting bet ter in North Carolina and prosper ity is taking a turn upward, accord ing to Major Sprague Silver, chief of the automobile license division of the state department of revenue. For a total of 4,020 new automo biles were sold In North Carolina during May, Major Silver announc ed today, the largest number of new cars sold in any one month In more than a year. In May 1930, one of the largest months last year, only 3,946 new cars were sold. Of the 4,020 new cars sold in May of this year, 1,640 were Fords and 1,452 were Chevrolets. "From this Increase in the sale of new cars In the state, with the May sales the highest in more than a year, it would appear that times arc not as hard as they have been or as some have tried to make it appear,” said Major Silver. “It Is also true, however, that many people buy new automobiles who really should not and who are unable to buy them. But on the whole, new car sales are generally indicative of the entire trend in business.” There is also a slight increase in the number of automobile license plates being sold, so that the state may not have as a large a slump in its revenue from licenses as was an ticipated at first.
