L * , ?$$?? (Political ~AdvartlMm?ni) . ;7 ~ Smith And Governor Hoey Uphold States Charlotte, Aug. 22 ?Governor Clyde R. Hoey, of North Carolina, and Senator K. I). Smith, of South Carolina, told hundreds of farmer* attending the Carollnaa farm congress Saturday that the CaroliuaH were not tke problem child of the nation, but Independent commonwealths contributing materially to the support of tho federal government. They referred to a recent emergency council report that the south was the nMlon's No I economic problem "I have Just completed a trip through New England and I never have seen In North Carolina as muny people who are Ill-housed, Ill-fed and ill clothed ua I ?aw in tho north," said Governor Hoey. "We in North Carolina may not have as much monoy and as much education as some, but we have as much patriotism and us much common sense as any people in the union "North Carolina is not the problem child of this nation. North Carolina pays more taxes than any other state, save one. North Carolina is a stalwart supporting child of this union." Senator Smith said "President Roosevelt has named the south as the economic problem of this country Why? Simply because southern farmers. who have the purest strain of Anglo-Saxon blood in the world, have had (o surmount unfair tariff walls, unfair freight rates, and many other handicaps that have prevented thein from obtaining their share of the national wealth." In introducing Senator Smith. Dr. Julian Miller, editor of the Charlotte Observer, described him a8 "an unpolluted. Incorruptible patriot who has fought for the purities of a simple and sacred democracy. Ho. too; has earned from the American people the title of scholar and gentleman " Said Smith then of Miller: "His editorial page has been a pillar of cloud by day and of lire by j night to guide and encourage me In the days when 1 was lonely because I was keeping tho faith." Senator "Cotton Kd" told the farmers he was the only dirt farmer in the senate and that those senators who pretend to farm didn't know a cotton stalk from a jitnpson weed I He urged the audience to re-read; the constitution and learn of the inalienable rights of the individual that no congress or president can invade. He urged the farmers to join in unified action to meet their problems. He advised production of cotton of a longer staple at a lower cost, the use of pure pedigreed seed,~TIre~eFff;iblI?7iing of better markets and the taking advantage of debt adjustment plans." Governor Hoey advocated closer cooperation between businessmen and farmers. "Sixty-five per cent of all the eggs consumed In North Carolina are Imported and one year recently we imported $100,000,000 worth of foodstuffs into this state," the governor said. "We must grow this food at home. By better markets, by the application of lime, rotation of crops, the use of legumes, by seeing that tenants hare gardens and poultry and hogs and cows, we can meet our own requirements at home and Increase the profits-of the farm." The first recorded mining claim in New Mexico was filed on March 26, I86.r,. comments on men and things Uy Spectator It costs oodles of money to run for Seitguor or Governor. Oono are the days of tlio simple life iu politic# as well as society All expense Is rising, mounting ami galloping away There was a time when two could live cheaply as one. That was in the golden age when pie woman of the house did all the cooking, fto^hfug ironing, etc , "raised chickens","luacld a vegetable garden, helped a bit in the fields and used her spare time to "keep house" and "tend to the children' On that schedule she certainly "pulled her weight"?and then gome. Then the women were so busy they couldn't spend so much. A cpuple of pairs of cotton stockings ^er an&um sufficed. With frequent darning they "nnsworod". Hut now?a pair of silk hose per week and no darning The shapely hosy being always exposed, no mending can bo tolerated. In the grand days of ye oldon time the ladv of the ii?v??a-?. h"p Br touch with the neighborhood by attending church. That didn't cost much Hut now social contacts are made at clubs, soft drink places, movies,etc And the cost Is much greater. In those noble days when one did venture Into the world of free-spending she could get a vanilla soda water or pineapple Ice?for a nickel, Now adays not even the cook would call for so simple a drink as a vanilla soda water. No sirree! A double banana spilt with whipped cream, topped with a dash of pecans and garnished wli't cl.errles-and all that. No wonder "pop" wants to "uiarry off" his daughters. Have you noticed that most of the big candidates have political headquarters in several places? Well that takes a mint of money. Nobody can afford to be a candldute unless he be a man of considerable means, or unless his friends will "put up" pots of boodle. A poor man, dependent on his own rest urces. has 110 more chance of election than lie has of walking over the lower regions on solid ice. Campaign rumors may be expected, but those of us who can sit on the sidelines should be able to appraise the candidate 011 their established reputations and respected character. No last minute report or charge can influence me in my regard for Mossi^. Smith. Johnston, Brown, Adams, Beunet, Blease, Manning and Maybank These men I know, and many of my readers know them. Let us muii over some of the rumors, takifig the candidates alphabetically: ~~ Mr. Ben E. Adams?It Is not true, I think, that Mr. Adams has fought any labor organization. I have read carefully all the articles and editorials by Mr. Adams about the lawlessness in Uie Industrial sections of the middle west and I found that Mr. Adams was writing of certain facts, as he found them. He wrote a faithful record of certain happenings, but he did not at any time make any attack on any organization of labor. So far as reports indicate, that Mr. Adams has attacked any organization I think they are without foundation. He has said plainly that he stands for equal rights before tlie law and an impartial enforcement of the statutes. Mr. Neville Bennett?Much is being said about Mr. Bennett's advocating air-conditioning of mills, the textile? 40-hour week and his espousal of the teachers' retirement bill at a cost , to the State of several hundred thousand dollars, although h?\ had J-.tst denounced the appropriation bill, in a :hree-hour speech, as being too high and as costing the State forty-one million dollars Here are three items in a long and distinguished service in ! I the Legislature. The fact that 1 am j B opposed to all three Items makes it easier for me to say again that Mr. Bennett has rendered exrellant service to our State. He has been sound, conservatively progressive, an indefatigable worker, a high-minded and clean man tlrroughout his period of distinguished service, f Mr. Cole L. Blease?Mr. Blease is i still fit full mental vigor and as capable as over. There was never any idea in his mind of retiring from the race. Mr. Blease has declared himself forcefully against a number of recent practices and his long record of public service abundantly proves that he will do what he promises, so far as he can. Mr. Blease was never a weakling, but a straight-froin-Xhesboulder individualist of extraordinary ability. Col. Wyndham Manning?One eannbt fully nnderstand Mr. manning unless he knows that the Mannings regard public service as a family obliSlrtlon. That family has produced three Governors Manning?John L., Richard I. and Richard I. again. They dedicated their ability, their service and their personal fortunes to the State. It Is Ingrained in the family. And they were all distingulahcd servants of the State. The rumors about Col. Manning because of his service at Ash wood Resettlement sod because of his shift on the Santee-Cooper pro Ject do not affoot the ability of Mr. MunnliiK to servo the state. Ashwood may bo a dream-or what-not, but Mr. Manning Is not responsible for the project. Ho gave his best to un Adminstrntion plan. On the Snntoe-Coopor Mr. Manning did change his position and I, for on?, disagreed with him both times but that does not imply anything but a difference of opinion. It is no ground for opposition to Mr.. Manalntf c\ iiinu offer his services to the public with as fine back ground and as compelling a personal appeal as make Mr. Manning so attractive. Mr. Burnett it. Maybank?This is the "Boy-Mayor" of Charleston, agalnst whom some aspersions are being nunie. Mr. Maybank has both the advantage and disadvantage ofj speaking frankly and candidly. He Is no trimmer, no pussy-footer. Ho ts j btimt. business like, abounding in en-1 ergy. 1 know Charleston and I know that this man is personally a clean' man. a straight-shooter, a worker. l| know that he has done great tilings , In Charleston. He isn't a politician,! but he is willing to serve us governor.1 This would ho a loss to Mr. Maybank | in dollars and cents. He was offered a ! big Job by President Hoosevelt and declined it. 9o it Isn't Just a Job: it is service ho wants to render. By the way, he is looked on as standing In with the New Deal, but did you know that ho walked Out of the Philadelphia Convention with "Cotton I'd" Smith, when the Colored men were | brought to the front? ' We have some fine timber in this race. I do not mention the other candidates because I have not heard tiny disparaging rumors about them Third term talk for President Roosevelt continues to interest Washington politicians. Some, favor the third term and sorno do not. Senator Murray, Democrat of Montana, insiftts on a third term, while Senator McKellar. Democrat of Tennessee, says the third term idea is "Just talk." wmmmmmmmmmmm?mmmrnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Oklahoma leads in the production of tine with New Jersey and Kansas next. ? .J , .. , n ' 'i " . yg Wedding Flowers Cut Flowers ; | Funeral Designs 0 :1 FLOWER8 FOR ALL OCCASIONS The Camden Floral Company CAMDEN, SOUTH CAROLINA Kershaw Agents: MRS.
