1 loin Host in Greensboro News.*
Faison, Nov 9 —Duplin county'
| farmers, giving thanks Friday aft
lernoon for the full trees of the
| Cord, saw Josephuss Daniels pick
| up their doxology like a lumblcd
| football, arid run straight for the
I goal- the governorship of North
i Carolina.
Whether 'he Duplinians saw
straight or Mi Daniels talked
crooked time must be left to tell
'Hie Kalelgh editor walking into
the teeth of a northwest wind, de
clared his purpose to "clarify the
situation.” And then for 20 minut
es or more this lord of limbo gave
governments, slate and federal,
pluperfect liell. What situation lie
meant to clarify,1 what thanks he
wished to bestow, he left to the 3,
000 shivering whites and blacks to
imagine But whether they were
white or black bond or free, Jew
or gentile, Sytliian or barbarian,
flic speech had just one meaning —
1 am a candidate lor governor of
North Carolina.'
(iiilhrrrd In (iivr lliaukv
To be suit, the original purpose
of the high harvesters was I o give
thanks, but if is not the first time
that efforts to glorify God have
beeri turned to the aecount of men
Mr. Daniels himself was not with
out both reverence and gratitude.
He was thankful for the plenty,
for the peas, the persimmons, the
pickles, (he pigs and the punk ins,
blessings of a brooding providence,
lie had undisguised contempt for
public men and the "smootheasies"
who look complacently on as privi
lege plunders the land.
If this scribbling scavenger were
asked to interpret, the Daniels dia
t rib* against the governments and
i heir agents, without the slightest
Hesitation it would be set down and
certified to all the generations that
Mi. Daniels speech was not a com
mitment of candidacy but a defi
nite and everlasting renunciation of
any hope to be elected to a state
office. In this view there is no
company. The crowd took the as
sault as a categorical purpose to
give battle to all the apologists of
privilege and favoritism The as
sembly was full of political aspir
ants and public office holders
Without a dissent they accepted the
pronouncement as * declaration of
war In which the editor was to be
the commander in chief. It was so
interpreted by Governor Gardner,
bv Secretary .Jim Hartness, Stacy
Wade, his opponent. Charles Aber
net by. third district congressman.
Dr. F. Giles, candidate for lieuten
ant governor Fred Parker, of the
Wayne county delegation in the
general assembly, and by numer
ous reporters who looked upon the
raging white face of Mr. Daniels
and heard him low rate everything
in state and national public life.
Time after time as the Raleigh
editor pranced before Governor
Gardner and gesticulated as though
he might hop on his excellency, a
single cry irom the audience would
be heard: “We Want you for gov
ernor." To say that the crowd
would have nominated him would
be as far out of place as the
speech itself. But, malcontents nev
er heard doctrine more to their
taste. Fa-son has Republicans It
is related by blood and marriage to
the great Marlon Butler. In his day
the cleverest assailant of the North
Carolina Democracy Mr. Butler
appeared to have something on Mr!
DtmlPls in the richness of vocaDu-j
lary. The Sampsonlans called them I
hotel walls' Mr. Daniel s is more
names that never were written on
velvety. To him they are "smooth
easies,” first cousin, perhaps to
speakeasies
Started As Thanksgiving
hut It was a thanksgiving occas
ion nevertheless. A good deal of
thanking was done before Mr. Dan
iels had his chance. The towns
people were assembled at the rail
road station and there on the ware
house platform the Duplin har
vests were displayed. There was
deep black on cotton and tobacco,
there was a pile of pumpkins, wal
nuts, corn. potatoes sorghum
pickles, peas and persimmons,
plenary and overwhelming evidence
that Cornucopia had emptied the
pockets of her pantalettes on the
people of this county.
Mayor Faison gave the keys to
Governor Gardner and Senator
Johnson presented Mrs. Marshall
Williams Faison's most gifted citi
zen. Tile artist assured the people
that Duplin is a safe place to visit,
and that there is "no danger of
getting lost here." Mr. Johnson then
presented Govemoi Gardner as
the state's contributed to the na
tion and a "godsend to North Car
course. The hign score prize wa
won by Joe Thompson and the low
score prize by Miss Esther Tyner
Each nt the honorees were present
ed with gifts.
Guests included Mr. and Mr I
Wilkie. Misses McLean, Esther Ty- j
ner. Sadie Laughridge, and John i
Hendrick Cap Freeman. Jr»

olina today.’’
But Senator Johnson had not
heard Mr. Daniels speak, else, If
the senator stuck to It that Gard
ner whs godsent his excellency
must have been devel-brought. The
governor fancied what would have
been the history of the world, 1'
Gardner for instance, had decreed
in the olden years that her boys
should have spent three years in
the open air and the fields of
Germany for instance, had decreed
years in learning of poison gas and
deadly arms
The governor made the Duplin
people gasp with Ills knowledge of
their county He told them ho\«
they had decreased their cotton
acreage in five years by more than
8,000, but how in the same period
they had raised their 17,000 tobac
co acres to 23,000. They had carried
their peanuts from 1,000 to 13,000
acres and they are a rare people in
that they have 25,000 hogs for their
35.000 population.
He expanded his statement to
nbrace the whole state. So long
V spoke of food Mr. Dancils
appeared to be with him, but when
his excellency made his live at
home gospel a missionary in the
field of taxation the Raleigh edi
tor saw his text getting away. This
live at home program had saved
money for Nortli Carolina which
could be put into the payment of
taxes. Mr. Gardner said. Hitherto,
these food crops outside the state
have been taking their tribute of
North Carolina and the farmers
in otiler commonwealths have paid
their taxes with North Carolina
gold
IWnitls. (I.infies
Senator Johnson introduced Mr
Daniels, who stepped gingerly to
the platform as a rooter yelled
"the next governor of North Caro
lina." Tt was difficult in the bliz
zard ami noise to catch his word
but he announced that he wool,
clarify the situation which was ’W
serious and fraught with so mud
interest
There are two things winch
should be considered today, h*
said. “For 10 years we have been
believing In fairies and hants." Hr
referred to the speculation and
gambling during these 10 years and
said that by some magic we hoped
they would bring prosperity. In
stead of investing in essential in
dustry, the tendency had been to
spend in these gambling schemes
and "by legislation favoritism in
government, state and nation,
privilege and favoritism had es
tablished themselves. Four fifth
of the wealth of the country is li
the hands of one tenth of the popu
lation. "Why is it that the .profii
of labor have been given to the
few?” he asked
Crack At “Cycles” Theology
"The Ood of the universe does
not send cycles of depression." Mr.
Daniels said, rebutting the theory
that, every few years there are
hard times. He was willing to
thank Ood for good crops but not
for bad legislations.
