Gilmer and Wil liam A. Smith were seated. The pres ence of Governor Holden’s soldiers in the county' on election da.y caus ed the senate to make an investiga tion. The committee reported that, Gilmer was elected, and that the cer tificate of election granted to Smith should have been given to J. A. Moore. Since Moore had not brought action to contest within the time lim it he had lost. Smith was ousted and| the seat, declared vacant. 2 The committee on grievances re turned this report: “Resolved by this committee that, all single men and other strollers, killing the deer at all times leaving the carcases in the woods which tiring down the vermin and increase them and also burn the herbage rarely pay any »axes or tend any corn is a grievance. And the com mittee further recommends to the house that sin'll persons should he obliged *o plant and tend corn and give security for their taxes.” 3 An ordinance of the constitution al convention ratified October 19. 1865 declared vacant all offices in Nor tii Carolina lie hi j,y any person who had taken the oath to support the constitution of the Confederate States. 4 He wrote an open letter to the j counties of Sullivan, Green, Wash ington and Hawkins, now Tennessee, May 31. 1887 warning them against "an unnatural and cruel civil war" and that if they persisted they could expect iivt erferanee from State au thorities and forcers. Shortly after wards (lie people of Hi at. section gave up the idea of forming the State of Franklin and again submitted to tile laws of North Carolina. 5 A section Os that, constitution mad: "Since multiplicity of comment, as well as of laws, have great incon venience, and serve only to obscure and perplex; all manner of comments and expositives, on any part of tlieso Fundamental Constitution, or a.tiv paid, of tlu* common or Statute law's of Carolina, are absolutely prohi bit ed." 6 Sheriffs, comity r>& ks, nu mbers of the legislature. just ires (ts peace, school commissioners, tax rol ler! ors, constables, post masters and marshals--all who had held these of fices prior to Ibe war. n n, m •? | Poland issued this stamp in 1932 to commemorate the Isth anni versary of the rebirth of the Pol i republic.

Dec. 20 1903—The biggest real es tate deal in history' was closed, as Pierre Clenlent Laussat formally' turned over to Maj. Gen. James Wilk inson and William C. C. Claiborne, in Now' Orleans, possession of 1.171,931 square miles of territory' known as Louisiana. In an instant, the United States was double in area. In making the deal Robert R. Liv ingston and James Monroe exceeded their authority' in buying the whole territory, for they had been sent to Paris to acquire only New Orleans; and Napoleon had no right to sell it. France was bound not to dispose of the territory without the consent of Spain. Livingston and Monroe didn’t know just, what they' were buying, for the boundries of the territory' were not clearly' defined and no one knew just how big it was! 100 Years Ago Today— Texas form ally' declared its independence of Mex ico, when 91 Texans signed at Goliad the declaration framed at San Felipe a month before.

First World War Day-by-Day 20 Years Ago Today*—The main body of British and French forces in Gallipoli peninsula began boarding ships. But their expidition wasn’t over yet. Getting the troops out. of Gallipoli and away from the Turk %ih-Germain defenders of tho Dar danelles. was a more difficult task than taking them in. Gen. Sir C. C. Munro. who had been only a Scottish territorial officer when the war be gan, was now entrusted with the most] dangerous task ever undertaken by British arms. "The tragic blunder" at. the Dardanelles, as the Tx>ndon pa pers frankly called it, had alreaa.* I cost. 112.921 men. One false move by Munro. and there wouldn’t he a man j left to tell the story'. Every' man. every animal, every truck, and all but six guns, inten tionally left, lvehind to fire until the last minute and then be destroyed ( now embarked from Suvla and Anzac under the noses of the Turks. The, skilfulness of the evacuation was one 1 of the greatest feats of the war. The few stores remaining were set on fire. . Next the breakwaters which had been ; built of old warship hulks were smashed b.y shell-fire. It. is to be hoped that those who I have been following these brief daily'; notes, in which necessarily' much that is important and more that is in teresting and significant, must hej omitted, will turn to complete ac counts of the Gallipoli Expedition, l one of the most illuminating incidents in all the history* of war. It’s True Mrs. Floyd Davis, of High Island. Texas., wrote a note with her name in it. placed it in a bottle, and throw it from a shop 400 miles southeast of Galveston. Ten months later the bot tle drifted to a beach almost di rectly in front of Mrs. Davis’ home. The tarantula is not a poisonous spider.

It is hard to get a.n agreement as to what has been the. effect, of these stores in the counties which have voted them. But, there Ts no quarrel over one sact —the stores have sold enough liquor to make everybody' know that, there is a lot of it being consumed.

DICKSON & CO. «•'•{ llorner Street Phone 659 OTHERS’ VIEWS MR. WRIGHT WRITES AGAIN. ! To the Editor: In the society column of a Washing ton, D. c., daily paper I found the item: “Former Governor and Mrs. Max Gardner have returned to tho Mayflower from a trip to New York, where they wore guests of Mr. and Mrs. 8. Clay Williams at the South ern Society ball in the Waldorf-As toi ia.” T* lis Max Gardner is the man you farmers a.ud working people vot ed to make Governor of North Caro lina some years ago. He lives now in the Mayflower hotel Washington’s finest.. He goes to a hall with Clay Williams in New York at that town’s finest hotel. He is living right at the top. while a million or more of his fellow citizens, in the State he used to govern, are fighting the wolf of want., day' j n and day' out. This man S. Clay Williams with whom he went to the dance, for years has been get ting about a. million dollars a y r ear, of the tobacco farmer’s money. All well informed farmers believe he had more to do with t.ho low price of to bacco this year than he would like to tell. I read in today’s pajHM* that our present Governor saw a prize fight in New York some days ago, and said he was much pleased with it. A week or so ago he was too interested in a football game to go to Atlanta to help hold up the hands of the best Presi dent our country' ever had. It. is quite patent, he is against any' move to help the farmers and working folks, and like our representatives In congress would he glad to have us go back to the old deal so they’ could have i\ plenty' in security while the multitude lived in poverty' as they have always, j Just think of the Governor of this . once grand old State ferifcouraging I prize fighting. Remember please that. | I his is tho man who is holding back i from thousands of old people in this ; Bta.te the little pension that the last j Congress made it possible for them to have. While it, is true, it is only a slave pay', as Father Coughlin calls it. yet. thirty dollars a month will help some and these poor people would get it but for the powerful in fluence of the rich, who are afraid they will have to pay a few pennies more in taxes. Yet they know, as we all do, that all taxes are produced by' the farmers and workers. Next. June, ir God spares us, we will name another man to Governor or our State. Three have said they want the place. Clyde Hoey. Gus. Graham, and Dr. McDonald. All three have held public office, and shown very' clearly who is their master. The big rich fellows who own the power and light companies and other large con cerns want Clyde Hoey'. While the big bankers and those who are sitting back and taking it easy' on the toil of o<h.er people, want Augustus H. Graham. While I would rather see the State grow up in weeds, than keep the present administration we have in Raleigh, yet we had just as well do it. as to put cither Hoey or Gra ham in the Governor’s chair. They* are both tarred with the sameb rush, that all our Governors have been, since Zcbulo'n B. Vance. Dr. McDonald put up a man’s fight, in the last Legislature for the far mers and workingmen. He champion ed their cause on every question. He comes out now squarely' against those who have been running the .State with their money, for their interest. He docs not believe those who work and produce every thing should have to bear (lie unjust sales tax burden to lessen the taxes of the rich. Neith er does he believe farmers and work ers should have to pay interest on bonds on which the wealthy' grow rich. None of the big rich boys want Dr. McDonald for governor. That alone should he a sufficient reason why' every* farmer, and every' work ingman should support him. Wc are less than seven months from election day. There arc many i reasons to suppose that wc are that near to choosing whether the com munism of Russia. the Nazism of Germany, or the Fascism of Italy, or the Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson, is to be our form of Govern ment.. These are serious and danger ous times and it behoves those of us, who have all our lives, borne the heat and burden of tho day to bestir our selves in order that wc may' be in formed and thereby be able to vote for honest true men and women to administer the affairs of our State ami Nation.
