Carolina’s Two Senators; Josiah
And Cam, Are Exact Opposites

*1ne.tng sound to it anyway, so 1
take it that it Is genuine.
As for Cam, he don't give a dam
about Medea and the Persian*. He's
got no time for a lot of folk* that
have been dead thousands of years
and, consequently, have lost the
right to vote. When you're talking
him. you've got to let your mind
Jump from one topic of conversation
to another. Every third Jump Is over
a political hurdle.
Joslah won’t let us interrupt him
if he happens to be talking about
the art of pottery making as prac
ticed In Southern Siam, he's going
to talk on that subject until it Is
exhausted. You may try to inter
rupt him by asking him what he
thinks of Babe Ruth or if he ever
held a royal straight flush, but he'll
get right back to pottery making
in Just a moment or two.
Interruptions go pretty good with
Cam. He likes to be interrupted so
as to give you a chance to say
something, Which gives him a chance
*o argue with you and prove that
.your viewpoint Is altogether wrong.
Bailey is a nature lover. He likes
trees, birds, flowers, and. things of.
that sort. He and his children en
joy Sunday afternoon walks through
the woods near Raleigh. There isn't
the name of a single tree that he
doesn't know, and when some bird
starts hollering for its mate, he crh
t»U you what kind of a bird it is,
how many feathers it has on its
back and if It ever had any of Its
teeth filled.
Cam doesn't know a water oak
from a popular. All birds sound alike
to him. He does know a canary
when he sees one and he's fairly
accurate when it. comes to describ
ing goldfish, but otherwise he is
blissful ignorant of all mutters per
taining to nature
Calm Jeatah—Cyclone Cam.
I watched them walk across the
lobby of the Atlantic hotel the other
day. Here came Josiah—-aalm, de
liberate, slow-movtng, rather pen
sive looking. He stopped to shake
hands -with somebody, ft was a
rather solemn sort of handshake;
the kind that pallbearers use. I
couldn't hear what he was saying
because he speaks In a rather low
rone of voice. However, X had a
deep suspicion that It was some
more light chatter about the Medes
and Persians. He and the other
gentleman finally passed out on the
porch and took chairs.
In about five minutes, here came
Cam. He always reminds me more
or leas of a grey-headed cyclone but
I'm poatlve It looks like Cam. He
spotted someone he knew over near
the desk. Out shot his hand. Hts
voice boomed and reverberated
through the lobby. I like to hear
him talk; It sounds like waves
breaking around a lighthouse. He
discussed the political situation, the
National Guard, the period of de
pression and Hoover's outstanding
errors of administration In less than
five minutes. And then away he
went.
Joelah William likes to fish The
other day he fished eight hours at
a stretch, during which time he
caught exactly seven fish. On his
return to the hotel he said that he
had had a perfectly delightful time.
He also likes to take a book, get
off by himself somewhere and spend
an hour or two in quiet solitude.
In other words, he likes to com
mune with his soul occasionally.
Cam doesn’t. He Is altogether too
active to be Interested In fishing
He’d like the sport all right, pro
viding that somebody would guar
antee that he would catch four or
five fish every minute, but If he
had to sit and wait half an hour
for a bite, he'd Just about be ready
to throw a cannipetlon fit. Neither
does he particularly care for his owrn
company. He likes other folks too
well for that, and he's never as
happy as he Is when in the midst
of a crowd.
Matter of Dress.
Morrison Is the best dresser of
the two. He’s always Immaculate
and he’s got money enough to buy
whatever strikes his fancy in the
way of wearing apparel. He has a
particular fondness for colored
shirts, and I reckon he must own
several hundred of them. He's also
a bear when It comes to natty suits.
Not that he Is Inclined to be loud
et conspicuous In his clothes—not
at all—but he likes plenty of snap
and pep about them. It is evident
that he devotes much time to the
■election of his neckties and socles,
or, If he doesn't, then Mrs. Morri
son does.
Bally isn’t Interested In clothes.
He observes a sort of puritanical
attitude about his apparel. For the
most part he attires himself in Quiet
and somber suits, and his ties are
equally inconsplcious. After you’ve
turned away from him you never
have the slightest recollection of
what he happened to have been
wearing at the time. Of course
rm not at all positive, but I’d be
■willing to bet almost anything that
he sleeps in a nightshirt. Cam, on
the other hand. Is the type who
btefers flashy silk pajamas. ,
•'tosiah William is a peaceful man
He loves quiet and repose and :f
♦he choice were up to him, he’d
walk away from a fight rather than
get mixed up in It—providing he
eould do so with honor to himself
There is nothing pugnacious or an
* monistic about hfcs make-uD. If
various governments of the world
were of his type, the chances are
that there never would be any more
wars. „
On the other hand, If all the
heads of governments were of Cam's
type, the chances are that we would
be fighting all the time He likes
a goo dscrap and gets keen enjoy
ment out of It. Give him his choice
of two campaigns—a peaceful one
and one that Is filled with all sorts
of bellegerecy—and he’ll take the
latter one every time. He loves to
gather his lieutenants about him
and lay out the plans for warfare.
He Is an able general and has fought
many battles successfully—as well
as a few that were not quite so
successful.
Little Differences.
Comparing them to two presidents
—Bailey Is Inclined to be of the
Wilson type, while Morrison la more
like Teddy Roosevelt used to be. He
and Teddy would have been great
pals If they had known each other j
In the heyday of their respective
careers.
Cam chews tobacco—Bailey does
not.
Cam accasionally will slap you on
the back—Bailey never gets that
familiar with you.
Cam Is Inclined to be roley-poley
In his physical make-up—Bailey
looks like yon Cassius; he hath a
lean and hungry look,
Cam has a ruddy complexion—
Bailey Is slightly sallow.
Cam Is Impetuous—Bailey is re
served.
Cam never stands with his hands
In his pockets—Bailey does.
And so It goes. The two are just
about as different from each other
as any two Individuals that you can
find through the length and breath
of North Carolina. And yet, de
splta this fact, the same voters
elected both of them to the aame
high office which they now occupy.
About tha only point of similarity
about the two is that they both had
the sense and judgement to marry
fine wives.
Daniels Continues
Assembly Assault
(COWTINUEU FROM PAOk ONK.I
mons and later Senator Bailey
have received their roasting* at the
point of the Daniels pencil. In every
general assembly for many years
that same pencil has expressed the
I views of its pusher on the acts of
the members of the two houses and
the programs of the Governors.
But the leaders are raising ques
tions as to why the extension of the
attacks on the 1931 general assem
bly and the Oardner program, most
of whloh received the general ap
proval of Mr Daniels at the time,
even though there were divergences
on methods. Heretofore, they say,
he has criticised while there was
still time for changes, but when the
general assembly had adjourned and
Its policies sealed, he would accept
its acta as those of the Democratic
party and bow to its will.
Criticises Party.
Now, it Is pointed out, long after
the general assembly adjourned, he
Is denouncing about the State the
leadership of his party and describ
ing the work of the overwhelmingly
Democratic legislature as ‘ Indefens
ible," Instead of his usual policy of
rallying to the support of his par
ty—the party which, some have the
courage to say, raised him from a
"provincial" edltor’a desk to a
mighty seat In the councils of the
nation Some are asking if he is
trying to bring about a repudiation
of. the Gardner administration, the
defeat of all members of the 1931
legislature who may come up for
re-election, or is seeking to foment
discord In the ranks of the party
that has honored him. That, it Is
asserted. Is a role more suitable to a
dashing actor like Marlon Butler.
This apparent change In policy
is apparently calling for a motive,
an explanation as to the objective.
Some profess to see in it a desire
of Mr. Daniels to become Governor,
his "don’t choose" statement to the
contrary, notwithstanding. They
are confident he would not offer
for the office unless he was certain
in his own mind of attaining it, but
they claim it Is his method of pre
paring the soil for that kind of
harvest.
In a recent discussion of the pos
sible elimination of present pros
pective candidates before primary
time comes around, the belief was
expressed that the two remaining
then would be A. J. Maxwell and R.
T Fountain. To which one close to
Mr. Daniels remarked: "In that
' c.-ie. Fountain would be forced to
t^Midraw, Mr. Daniels would be
ome a candidate and beat the
h—— out of Maxwell.”

Mystery Away

unless he could name some specific
person. There was no direct evi
dence to Incriminate any person.
All over Cleveland county opinion
is evenly, or near evenly divided.
About fifty per cent of the people,
to whom the killing due to the
prominence of Phillips and the
woman with whom he was riding
was a sensation, believe that Phil
lips really shot himself while
"charged" up on whiskey and brood
ing about business matters and a
love affair with a woman other
than his wife.
The other fifty per cent think
very much as did the members of
the coroner's Jury—that Phillips
was shot by “unknown hands.’’ But
those who think that way have no
more opinion—at least It isn’t ex
pressed—as to who did the shoot
ing, If anyone, then did the coroner
Jury.
Unless something new comes up
—something definite—the matter
may end where it Is. For months
the query will be tossed about. “Did
Tom Phillips shoot himself, or was
he shot by someone else?”
Eventually a new mystery will
come along and the Phillips putile
will be forgotten.

a sure-fire appeal.
Progressive merchants realize the importance of keep

while this condition is prevalent, newspaper advertising
will do its greatest service to both merchant and con

Mr. Merchant—
Newspaper advertising .. . the service that moves the
