CAM COMES BACK.
(Hickory Daily Record.)
With hit old-time fire Cameron
Morrison, former senator and gover
nor who has been in political retire
ment for the pust year, back”
in a manner which leaves nobody in
doubt as to what his position is to be
i:i th* wet and dry fight which comes ,
to a showdown in North Carolina on
November 7.
Pei haps it was very gallant that
“Our Boh,” junior senator who de
feated Senator Morrison for selec
tion, sh'U.Jd have come across with
the suggestion that Cam be named as
Democratic National Committeeman
o ruccNed Max Gardner, who fre
s-ignid the tost a few days ago. How
1 ver, the ciivw branch may have been
tendered with the thought that Mr.
Jlorrisor. would accept it and thus be
j laced in a position where party rc
j< ilarity would compel him to "keep
lire peace” during the scrap over ihe
1. ghteenth Amendment, which Post
r aster G*-n< rai Farley insists on malc
j j a party issue. Cam refuses to be<
thus muzzled, which is highly, re
-1 3shir.g to jaded nerves in this time
i hen it is politically popular to be
;! ding the bandwagon.
Ex-Governor Gardner has taken the
'.'•ad with those prominent state chief
tain* who are counseling Tar Heel
citizens that their ballots in the com-'
i.-g e’eotion won’t have any bearing
<1 the prohibition situation in North.
Carolina. Ho presents the specious
r gununt that on November 7 we are
iinply voting to determine whether
v 2 are wiling to give other states the
r'ght. to be wet. or whether we want to j
z ind in tr.a way of letting the* over
: helming condiment in other states
»?ovnil.
The Recc'd cannot understand how
ron in puVHc standing and of keen
j olitical bright could expect an in
telligent <i' torate to believe that the
. suit cf V e balloting on November
7 will not commit the stale of North
Caroina a.: its own prohibition po
’•’y. • : ,f
If we regard prohibition as funda
mentally right to the extent that this
state shov’d undertake to maintain it
for curst*v:'s, would it not be des
pica’ le for us as citizens to lend our
assistance in making possible the re
turn ?f legalized booze to other states,
with the thought that we are in posi
tion ’o bar our own doors against a
recogniz'd evil? \
Such r* aso-mng has a peculiarly hol
low ring, particularly when we recall
the -ldtime battle cry of a few gen
erations r.go, to the effect that “this
na'.on (v.nnoD exist half slave and
ha’f free." It would seem that some
thing is leing done to amend the old
methods of reasoning, by thor-e who
picture North Carolina with a fence
errand it and the booze floodgates re
opened in the rest of the states.
With a plethora of leaders stooping
to such absurd reasoning, it. is cer
t'*<nly heartening to read the frank
ar»l open pronouncement of Mr. Mor
rison, which declares:
“I am grateful to the friends who
hav<* mentioned me in connection
with the succession to Governor
Gardner on the National Democratic
Executive Committee, but I would not ,
be able to accept this position if elect
ed.
“As I see my duty, I shall soon be .
confronted wiih a situation which will
require my whole effort for what I
believe to be the good of humanity
and North Carolina. I do not wish
in the near future to be hampered by
any moderating responsibilities, fcfc
I shall give my all in an effort to pre
vent the Democratic party in North
Carolina, or the State, from being con
trolled by those who desire to see
whiskey in this State. We must make
ready to prevent the wreck and de
moralization of this State which will
ensure if the State is not soon com
pletely taken from the hands of those
who would throw it back, morally and
politically, forty years. I shall per
mit no yearning for popularity or re
mote hope of office to deter me from,
dotng battle with friend or foe who,
may seek to re-establish bar-rooms,
.distilleries or dispensaries in North,
Carolina.”
If North Carolina votes wet the peo
pic of this sta‘e will have invited the
legalization of liquor here.
If the state votes dry. on the other
hand, there will be basis for a fight td’
retain prohibition on the state statute 1
books. ; ..
ARE TIMES SO HARD?
.. .. (Burlington Times-News.)
Byway of The News-Herlad of Mor- -
ganton, we gee this:
“Gene Ashcraft, editor of The Mon
roe Enqu rer says he hears a lot of
talk about hard times these days. “Al
most every one coming to my office,’’,
he says, “complains that cotton at 10
cents will not purchase the same
goods as last year with seven-cent
cotton. And yet when I look out on
the street about every fourth automo
bile is a new one, and 25-cent gasoline
has r.ot slowed up traffic, I wonder
about Herd Times. Everyone appears
to have the price of circus tickets, at-,
tend ball games and d'g up enough to
go to the. World's Fair. Fewer per
sons are at work today than ever be
fore in the history of this country,
and still r.ppear to be well fed, cloth
ed and housed. Yet we bellyache Hard
Times.”
“And hundreds and hundreds of
North Carolinians found time and
money with which to go to the World
Fair this year. As the Monroe editor
says, there are more new automobiles
than ever before. How the folks man
age to buy them, and keep up the pay-
There must be more money in the
ments is more than we can. fathom,
country than some folks would like to
have us beli< v«. We hear of dozens
and scores of people going to the
Worl i Series baseball games and the
tickets to these games cost anywhere
from $5.50 on up as high as you want
to go.
“Sure, there must be money in the
country and times not as hard as they’
are made out to be.”
“Look about here and see how many
people are giving up things. A score
of new autos were registered here in a
single mrnth recently; we too hdve
sent scores to the Chicago fair; moun
tain and seashore resorts provided en
tertainment ten hundreds of our peo
ple this summer, and each Saturday
now we send our quota to the foot
ball g turns- *
Figures are not available here on
new aut> registrations, but suffice it
to say that one dealer sold a new car
a day last month and fifty used ones,'
all of which may be cause to shout
that times arc not so hard as some ,
would have us believe, in fact, the
upswing has been very much in evi
dence in Burlington for the past four
or five months. Last week-end twenty
thousand North Carolinians paid ad
mission to sec Duke trounce Tennc-s
--• /
1 see, twelve thousand paid to see State
hold Florida to a tie, and another]
eight thousand paid to see Georgia
giV'E- Carolina an awful wallop and an- !
other five thousand paid admission to I
see Davidson hand V. M. I. a six to
nothing ocore, and sixteen thousand 1
paid to See the largest circus in the,
world. A grand total of around sixty,
one thousand North Carolinians were j
well off enough to pay football and
circus admissions. Does that spell hard!
times, are you asking us? Another
thing, the greater part of cars pass-'
ing through Burlington on Saturday)
en route to the several games ap-’
peared to be of the new and flashys
variety, another distinct sign that
business is good.
A citizen of Burlington was heard!
to remark Saturday night that he
went into three different department
stores of the city that same after- _
noon and comd not get waited on for
the' press cf buyers. Does that sound,
like hard limes? No corner has been J
turned, so far as North Carolina Is*
concerned, and the next time some
one comes alcng moaning over times
being hbrd just cite a few of the’
above figures for his benefit.

OUTDOOR DIARY—This is the
season when travel thoughts turn
again to equatorial countries, which
are undeservedly shunned by
pleasure-travelers during summer
months. The hottest weather on
earth is not found anyivhere near
the equator, but prevails, in the
summer half-year, in the great des
ert areas that lie, partly in the
temperate zones, near the Tropics
of Cancer & Capricorn. In these
areas, during a longer summer day
than Occurs in lower latitudes, a
combination of clear skies, dry air
& bare soil leads to an intense heat
ing of the ground and the latter ; in
turn, heatß the ■ air adjacent to it.
